Anjali continues to act cold towards Shyaam (LOVE her like this), she unleashes her frustration on him in the kitchen, explaining to him that she feels like they're drifting apart, they're not spending enough time together...Shyams true colors come out, he blows up "so do you want me float around you all day?" (yes shyam bitwa, that's what you do around Buaji so why not your wife?) Anjali storms out of there, but Shyaam knows all the tricks, he apologized in extravagant style, how was this girl ever supposed to suspect her husband? using flagerant gajras and lovely compliments and when that didn't work, with clever sweet talk, "Jaao maaf kiya" he begs her to say in front of the whole family. In his quest to woo his wife, he accidentally plays cupid once again to Arnav and Khushi planting the idea of "maafi" in Arnav's head.
Though the general idea was there as he looked for her to tell he felt badly, i think it hit him that it's called apologizing.
"Arnav Singh Raizada kabhi kisi maafi nahi mangta" a firm confident statement made by him not to long ago to Khushi's Buaji came to his mind, and this he stood by just as firmly...even if it meant leaving behind the woman he cares for most, in the middle of the road in all of his anger. A situation that could've easily been avoided, had he done what she asked...apologized, a simple I'm sorry. Then again we saw him melt and apologize to Anjali just the day after he made that statement to Buaji, such a complex man. tragedies of life that obviously contributed to his bitterness and surely his attitude against such common gesture stems from it, maybe he owes his success to this "i'm not sorry for the way i am" attitude as well and finally he never got and apology from anyone for turning his life upside down at such a tender age.. whatever the case, if his tragedies have hardened him up against this gesture, today her tragedy shatters that that hardened shell. His work was cut out for him, he knew he had to swallow those words he said the Buaji.
At night time, their constant thoughts of each other takes them both under the stars.
Her insecurities about losing her parents for a second time are elevated more than ever with the reminders of her parents at the RM and coming home to a very ill Sashi. Payal puts her mind at ease but as soon as she asks how her day was, again all she could think of was his "pata ha kaisa lagta hai" her heart sinks with all his pain.
As for Arnav, looks up at the sky, standing in front of a vine that winds around the wooden frame.
The vines again representing his mom as she resides in all these plants that bring her son feel closer to her. Today he missed her badly, perhaps needed some strength to face Khushi the next day so he could apologize. A solemn beautiful ending to a solmn day.
The next morning brings a brand new day and a brand new Arnav Singh Raizada!! He stands in front of the mirror, flustered, anxious, nervous, inconfident, unsure, and totally lost on the saying "sorry" thing. he tries out a few different tones making for a hilarious scene,
Take one: "dekho meri baat dhyaan se suno...kal ghar mein jo bhi hua woh...i mean tumne, matlab maine jo bhi kaha" (listen to me carefully, whatever happened yesterday, i mean you, meaning whatever i said..)
It just wasn't coming together, so he tries ASR mode
Take two: "Khushi.Kumaari.Gupta'
Nope not what he's going for either "this is so tough"
He gives himself a pep talk
"itna mushkil nahi hai, dheere araam se, sirf sorry kehna hai, bahot aasaan hai" (Its not so hard, take it easy, only have to say sorry)
For sure Take three he was going to get it if his concentration wasn't broken by La, never seen him so annoyed with her...
he goes back to he mirror even while she still there. He probably doesn't even realize how important Khushi has become. La continues her tradition Indian wife avataar and brings him a shirt but Arnave is quick to tell her "relax..i'm not going to the office today"
She asks if she can go to the party "Since when do you need my permission?" he bluntly asks her. IF ASR came off controlling with Khushi, it was only because of what Khushi was able to stir up in him in ways noone else dared, his need too always be in control around the girl that drove his life out of control. He was never dominating over La or Anjali or any other women in his life for that matter, he very much practiced his "live and let live" philosophy and CVs made sure to hight light that.
the door bell rings "aaj to usse sorry bol kar rahuna (today i'm going to say sorry to her)"..he's determined, but this line makes me wonder, he has felt like saying it before hmmm
He nervously waits, JP goes to open the door, "send them to the poolside to me" Arnave tell JP. His dhak dhaks get louder at the sound of the door slidign open, i don't think he has ever been so nervous in his life! "mujhe tumse kuchh baat karni hai"
"jo boln hai boliey sahaab" Arnavs eye raise up like "what the!" as the manly voice, definetly not khushi's, speaks up in fear...poor Balwaar, wrong time wrong place, had to endure "get out" from Arnav.
Another epic scene at the dining table as Arnav immanently turns down La's lunch date offer and fishes for confirmation on when Khushi will be coming to put an end to his misery...
"aur waise bhi, tumhare paas time kaha hai? woh ladki aayegi na ..kya naam hai woh.." "you don't have time anyways, since that girl will come, whats her name?"
interesting how the CVs kept in mind that all his encounters have mostly been a secret from everyone, all the family knows is he hates that girl "woh ladki" he has to pretend her name is not worth it to remember 😆
La mentions Pam and Sim, adding insult to injury...he needs to make it more clear
"woh ladki aati hai na tumhe train karn ke liye"
"KHushi!" la finally gets it.
bingo! He lets his frustration out since Khushi is keeping him waiting..."Di, appk uss khushi se kehe dena, aise hi late aati rahi, to uski salary cut kar milegi"
"Di let that Khushi know, that if she keeps coming late like this, her salary will be cut"
Anjali a bit taken back by her brothers random comment, "no need for that CHotey, she took the day off"
Poor guy "what!...i mean why does she need to take the day off...!!" things just keep getting messy for him..."matlab, usse salary kaam ki milti hai ya chu chutti lene ki...(i mean does get paid for working or taking o- off)" digs a deeper hole for himself...Sobti is a genius here and beyond ADORABLE!!
Frustrated at the news of Khushi, La feels the side effects as he yells "Enough Lavanya!"...all she did was ask if he has a headache again...first Balwaar and now La, whose next??
I wonder if someone told KHushi about the effect she was having on laad governor, What would she think? she has seen the effects of her fainting and her tears on him but here she has completely got him turned upside down... behaving and doing things so not ASR!
The funny scenes keep coming, he calls her but, gets nervous and hangs up at the sound of her voice...again a pep talk "sorry to bolna ha, itna difficult bhi nahi hai" (Really Arnav, you've been saying that for a few hours now)
He calls again, but his failure to talk in a timely manner had Khushi believing he's some guy harrasing girls "Don't you have a mom and a sis at home?" she scolds,
appalling him with those words, he hangs up...after which as usual his presence reached her a bit late, she knew it was him and i have a feeling she could sense his bechaini (restlessness) and just how badly he longed to see her...
in the cutest way he expresses his anger over her taking off today...of all days, (like she was supposed to know) "Khushi kumaari gupta, aaj jab mujhe usse baat karni thi to chutti lene ki kya zarurat thi?"
The "laws of attration" go to work for him...He really wants to see her today, dil se (from the heart)..
