Episode 109
No Way Out!
At the RM the pooja has begun, excluding one Arnav Singh Raizada, but surprisingly there is a young woman in a teal sari who is attending, Lavanya. Nani begins Mami follows, and Shyam and Anjali together; Anjali all smiles but Shyam's thoughts are elsewhere'
Kushi at her home has begun her pooja, followed by Payal. In the background Babuji is in his wheelchair and Garima behind him and Buaji besides them all taking part as best they can. There is sadness at Kushi's home; they help Babuji with the pooja. After pooja Payal and Kushi place Babuji into bed, Payal asks Kushi why she has to go to the Raizada's house tonight. Babuji is aware. Kushi answers that Anjali has done so much and given so much to her family the least she can do is bring them sweets. Kushi turns and places her hand on DM and prays that she heals her father and brings happiness back to their house. The music just enhances the feel of sadness in their home and makes me cry. The sincerity in Kushi and Babuji's eyes is just so beautiful.
And now she is off; Payal and Kushi are packing up the sweets and one of the sweets is packaged differently, Payal asks why. Kushi says that is for Arnavji' uh, he has ones without sugar. She almost got caught. His sweets wrapped so nicely and her LG no longer called LG but Arnavji. Watch out Kushi you may get caught!
At the RM, Lavanya opens the door to her friends! Pam, Wam, Sam, whatever their names,(Neetu, Ritu) you know those stupid girls from the office. La says Happy Diwali and they are in shock she is wearing a sari. They give each other air kisses and Mami is just a hoot asking what is this and asks why her friends are so strange. She introduces the girls to Nani and the others. She shows them how to say hello with folded hands, Namaste. Pretty impressive I must say, so far Lavanya is doing well.
Anjali
asks Om Prakash to make sure there is no pineapple inShyam's pudding he is
allergic. Thedoorbell rings and Anjali
says it must be Kushi. Shyam goes into
panic mode, what is he going to do?
Kushi enters and he is trying to leave and Anjali says she wants him to
meet Kushi.
What's taking her so long to
come? Anjali keeps calling her but
Kushi has brought many sweets and is explaining all of them to OP. She makes sure he knows which ones are for
Arnav. Come, Anjali says and she says
she is coming. Shyam drops a package and
while Anjali goes to pick it up he scoots into the kitchen.
Kushi says Happy Diwali as Anjali looks around for Shyam. Kushi distributes her sweets, Mami doesn't take nor hugs, Kushi takes blessings from Nani. Anjali says she will go check on her husband.
Shyam has no way out. He must do something so Kushi does not meet him. OP tells Shyam that his pudding is on the counter the one without pineapple. OP has given Shyam a way out. He sees the pineapple pudding and eats some knowing he is allergic and will be ill. He eats it and starts sneezing almost immediately. Anjali comes and goes into panic mode, OP is being admonished for something he didn't do. It was Shyam who was cornered with no way out, that he chose to do this terrible thing. Sneezing, he places his hanky over his face as they pass everyone asks what happened, starting with Kushi, and Anjali tells them he ate pineapple accidently and he is allergic so she is bringing him to their room. Anjali helps him to his room where he will take his allergy medicine and be able to hide out the whole night; absolutely disgusting. You are now tangled in your own web, you nasty spider.
(Indi, I am glad you have some insecticide! Keep it handy!)
Kushi says to Nani let's go and prepare the offerings for the Goddess. They leave to go to the home mandir where La is with her friends.
"Stop, Stop, STOP!" Lavanya yells to her friends, they must remove their shoes before entering the temple. They will light the lamps and by then ASR should be done with his conference call and they can talk. The girls look at each other and say,"Take off our shoes? No wayzzz." This was most impressive about La'her answer.
"Yes girls, the God is here and this is a special sacred place for Nani."
The girls answer, is this really Lavanya or does she have a split personality?
Nani and Kushi come and observe the scene.
Laxmi enters. The girls freak out and La calms them. They say dogs have names but a goat? La says she is really lovely and a member of the family. La tells Laxmi to go to Nani's room so she doesn't get hurt. How sweet, La! They tell La to stop talking so boring and they attempt to enter the temple again with their shoes on. "Guys! I have already told you that God is there you must remove your shoes. It is a sacred place for Nani and I don't want to hurt Nani's feelings."
The girls answer indignantly,"Naniji, the one with all the wrinkles on her face? Who does she think she is? She looked at us as if we were aliens."
Nani and Kushi overhear and Kushi is holding Nani's shoulder for support.
La answers, "Enough girls, this is not funny. Do not talk that way about Nani. She is older than us and you must respect that. Okay?"
Nani and Kushi smile.
Pam says to Lavanya to stop acting like an old fashioned girl.
She answers, just because she is taking care of her family and their feelings does not make her an old fashioned girl. AND just because you conduct yourself in the way you just did does not make you modern. Okay? It took her some time to realize this. There is nothing wrong with learning traditions, morals and values. If you do not like something but it makes the elders happy then what is the problem in doing it for them?
"Pam says, La, whatever. Girls, let's go." And they leave.
Nani turns
to Kushi and says," You have done an outstanding job. You not only have changed her appearance but
her mentality. Is this the same girl?
Bless you dear!"
All are happy and we are very proud of Lavanya!
Nani
leaves and Kushi goes to Lavanya.
Lavanya puts out her hand and says Happy Diwali. Kushi looks at her and gives her a crushing
hug. She gives her sweets and La takes a
bite and gives some to Kushi. So sweet
the bond these girls have developed.
Lavanya tells Kushi about the mistake Di made with the sarees. The red is ASR favorite color so she was supposed
to wear it and the blue one was for Kushi.
*Note: ASR is wearing ta shirt that matches Lavanya. Is this a hint of what is going to happen?
Kushi apologizes and Lavanya says don't be so silly. It's okay. She tells Kushi she looks beautiful in this sari.
Down in the large hall of the Raizada Mansion Kushi is setting up the diyas in the circular rows for Diwali. Lavanya comes over with a basket full of crackers. Lavanya asks does she like them and Kushi responds that they contribute to noise pollution and that they risk children's lives working in the factories. They are made with child labor therefore she does not encourage the use of fireworks. Diwali means illumination not noise and look how beautiful this place looks with the diyas! Good lesson for us Kushi and Lavanya says she will put them away then and get some more oil for the lamps.
In the
quiet of the night, a gust of wind occurs as a man walks down the stairs a phone
to his ear, he stops, the phone slowly coming down from his ear, he sees a
radiant beauty in red, illuminated by soft firelight, Kushi. He is mesmerized and hypnotized; he is drawn
to her. Slowly he walks over and he
watches as she lights the diya and she has a soft smile on her face. Blowing out the candle something happens, she
is made aware of his presence and her eyes lift up to see him intently staring
at her. She looks at him and then away,
he can seduce her with his eyes; she averts her eyes.
If she continues to gaze into his eyes she
will be whisked away into her dreamland, where rose petals and sparkling stars
fall from the sky.
She stands up, maybe that will give her some leverage against his paralyzing gaze. She has to look away from him; he looks satisfied to just stand there with his gaze on her and an ever so slight smile on his face. He approves. She is stunning in another red sari.
They are
interrupted;
oh yes, by HIS live-in girlfriend.
Lavanya says to Kushi,"Look what you have done; you have surrounded yourself with lamps!"
THERE IS NO WAY OUT!
She tries to move but'.
THERE IS NO WAY OUT!
Lavanya turns to ASR and asks him to help her; she will put the oil in the remaining lamps.
THERE IS
NO WAY OUT!
Lavanya leaves.
THERE IS
NO WAY OUT!
He walks slowly to the center, they are both there alone, illuminated by diya lamps, heartbeats, shallow breaths, and '..
THERE IS DEFINITELY NO WAY OUT!
all the way 
to you guys 🤗
