Episode 122: The pursuit of Sakoon (Peace)
"Unki khanak mein
itna sukoon that, ki saare din ki thakawat uttar jaati thi"
- Love the Highlight
Arnav Singh Raizada
reached unbelievable heights, heights that perhaps he wouldn't have strived for
had it not been for this one tragic even in his life. The loss of his mother. He
has everything, but the one thing his mother took with her...his "sukoon", his
peace👏. Clearly this man is starving for this peace and perhaps that
fatigue of this life never goes away either. The
effects of losing his mother, are tremendous on this him - Well said
If ASR was a bollywood
fan (which he is not), and he was watching the famous exchange between Vijay
(Amitab Bacchan) and Ravi (Shashi Kapoor) in the movie Dewaar, he would
undoubtedly side with Ravi.
Vijay: Aaj mere paas
bangla hai, gadi hai, paisa hai...tumhare paas kya hai? (today i have a big
house, a car, money, what do you have??)
Ravi: Mere paas Maa
hai! (I have Mother) - Too good 👏👏
For some reason this
famous dialogue popped up in my head. Yes money is important to him, it defines
him, but would he have been so driven to believe that Money = Power if his
uncle and this "Bedard Duniya" (heartless world) hadn't left
his to fend for himself and for his sister? and even today if given the
option his fortune or his mom back, a heartbeat wouldn't go by in him choosing
the latter. That sukoon is priceless and he knows it's worth. ⭐️ - Superb Take Ami
Anjali had opened a
box of memories when she opened the box that carried the Kangan (Gold bracelets)
their mom had kept aside for her future daughter-in-Law. The Arnav and Anjali share their memories of the khanak (noise made by the bracelets) these two Kangan exuded.
Anjali said when she would tuck them in, they would fall asleep just with
the noise of the Khanak. Arnav who had been staring non-stop at them as she pulled them out and held them, adds fondly what they meant to him
"Unki
khanak mein itna sukoon that, ki saare din ki thakawat uttar jaati thi"
...the serene
peace he can only try an obtain in his garden where he feels closest to her.
Anjali talks about
their mother's excitement to put them on her daughter-in-law, as she put them
in the box. And was a letter, a rather cute one as per Anjali.The bro-sis duo laughed whole heartily the time it was written but she tears up "tab
hamme kaha pata tha, ki maa nahi, bas...bas ek chitthi rahe jaayenge."
Slowly she opens the letter, Arnav already filled with nostalgia braces
himself. Oh this is hard for him, the constant swallowing, the
involuntary tears😔.
"Hamare Chotey ki
bahugena, waise to hum yeh kangan aapko khood hi pehnane wale hai, par aapko ek
raaz ki baat batani hai, isi liye likh rahe hai, dhyan rakhiyega, aur sawdhaan
rahiyega. Hamaare chotey ke naak pe bahut saara gussa rehta ha, aur dil mein
dher saara pyaar, gussa bardasht karna aur pyaar sut sammit waapis
lautana"
Truly, an adorable letter, only a mother could ask someone to put up with with their son's anger and return his love with interest👍🏼. A jist of how well she know her son, and a bit of concern for his explosive nature too. She wanted to make sure her chotey wasn't misunderstood and loved to the fullest. 😊
Hearing those words bring water to his eyes, most definitely he just misses her
"Aaj maa tumhe
aaj dekhti to (if she could see you today) "
"Pehechaan bhi
nahi pati mujhe!" he cuts in, a comment that contradicts his
pride. The pride he always take in becoming Arnav Singh Raizada. Almost as if he feel he doesn't deserve the love his mother wanted to make sure he received. - 👏Touchin...but he is wrong..he deserves every bit of Love
👍🏼
Barun once again
proves his talent by displaying the most detailed, complicated of
emotions...for example the way he tried to control his tears just as he got up
to leave, we could feel the the excruciating hurt from within. this guy is UNBELIEVABLE! - Couldn agree more...even i observed tht 😊
"Chotey!"
Anjali tried to stop him, but he had to leave
Khushi walks in looking for Anjali.
She comes to a standstill at the sight of his tears, she's seen them before and knows they don't come easy👍🏼. He leaves, she gets and answer from Anjali.
Out by the poolside, he stood silently looking up at the stars when Khushi enters to pick up the dried chilies. As soon as she walked in she felt his pain, she look up at the stars he was watching. She wanted to make it ok. But how could she break the deal? so she moves on to the chilies.
Ofcourse her mehsoos had given her away a moment she walked in. Without looking back he asks as if a
little boy.😊
"Kya woh sach
mein taare ban jaatien hai?"
- Very Nice
Khushi freezes with a bit of shock. The man who initiated the "no talking" rule and held up his end when he was to explode on her at numerous times today, breaks the deal. and there is no "bahes"(tiff) the reason he came up with the deal. Just an answer to his question in her her own way. - too good ⭐️👏
"Baat sach ya
jhooth ki nahi hai, baat yekin ki hai"
" its not about trueth or not, is about belief"
she steps beside him, he is no
longer alone⭐️⭐️
❤️ this
"hamara dil hamse kaheta hai, ki woh taara hamaari amma hai,
aur uske paas waala hamaare babuji...hamesha hamme dekh te rahe te hai,aur issi
tara timtimate hai aur -"
He cuts in
"Kya woh hamme
dekh kar khush hai?" how he carries every bit of that pain in his voice, he
modifies his question
"Kya meri m-m-maa mujh dekh kar khush hai?"
here
was this man that brushed everything off as rubbish, ready and willing to
believe anything this girl says as this moment. Khushi
just feels for him, she looks at him. If he can't see her tears, she can't see him
in pain⭐️. Just today she took a tall glass of milk after he ate that red hot mirchi
daal out of spite. And this very second, she wishes there was a glass of milk to take away this kind of pain, she would run and get it for him. - 👏Amazingly said ⭐️
He
looks at her with so much desperation for an answer and a need for her to say "yes".
As she looks in his eyes, she has
never seen them so vulnerable so in need. Barun some how physically changed their shape to shows this difference. Amazing!
The Arnav behind ASR⭐️. he has never opened up
to anyone like this before, maybe because of the bond that night created when
she let out all of her secrets and opened up to him. Here is a new level of the understanding
between each other.
But,she
can't answer his question, perhaps because she feels she can't tell the truth.
How can his mother be happy when her son is in so much pain, everyday of his
life. He notices her discomfort and doesn't push her, but a tear forming in
her eye,
👏
she excuses herself "Hum zara" and he turns back. Before leaving,
she uses his words that always seem to soothe her. A small attempt at getting him milk for
this kind of pain.
"Aap
teek to hai na?"
"you are ok, arent you?"
Instant
change in his eyes, the soothing at work maybe? Turning to his side, a slight nod from him...she
wishes she could do more but leaves. He slowly raises his eyes to see her and
the follow her till she disappears. -well written 👏
👏
Why
does he look at her in this way? does he get a sense of sukoon from her, his
pain did seem to ease out a bit after she left. He allows her to soothe him,
doesn't he? no resistance the normal ASR would have...after all he was taking
sips of milk, thanks to Khushi's idea before Di came into his room for that box
of kangan.
Also we never see him regret these moments like we do so many other
times, here he doesn't feel like he's losing control...deosn't let that
"farq" in the way this time...interestingly this is most open he has
left himself to her thus far. - good notice 👏 i guess cuz its abt his mom...nd he knws Khushi understands the pain...maybe thts y he doesn regret it
Unfortunatly Khushi never got to see or read the
letter (in season 1's duration😉)...but that bit about "gussa bardasht " and "pyaar sut samit \", Thats what she does isn't it😳? many women of today were bothered by Khushi's
constantly taking his wrath, accused of losing the backbone she once had,
but now i understand more than ever why
it was written that way👍🏼. It was in her
make-up wasn't it? to understand and "bardaast" the anger and to
return all of his love with full interest.
Ofcourse
in the future, she will be the one to wear those kangans and the one to finally
bring him the sakoon that he so needs in his life. Also WIWY (thank you sauten!! 🤗) had pointed out the calming/soothing blue Arnav wore during the hospital hug, well here Khushi is wearing a similar calming/soothing blue. Its begging to be read too much into. If they hurt each other the most, they are each others biggest healers. - Lovely ⭐️
for threads 10/11, i had written a small piece about how the stars play a role in this story, and made connection throughout including scenes from episode 122. Here
is a little excerpt from that piece Written in the stars ( click link and scroll up)
How can we leave out the most precious moment the stars
gave us? Khushi tells his picture "Chaliye muskuraaiye! chaliye! (come
on smile! come on!)" and how, a gleaming, glowing smile brighter
than the stars themselves slowly appears on Arnav's face as he look up to the sky, his true happiness
beaming from within knowing that she'll finally be his forever. ⭐️👏
It bought closure to the moment that started it all for me, If Khushi were here, she would finally
answer him:
"Haan Arnavji, aaj aapki aama aapko dekh ke bahut
khush hai"⭐️
DROOL CORNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤️ this! he feels better after Khushi star gazes with him ❤️ awww
Ami it was a Superb Take on the episode...⭐️👏⭐️ wonderful writin ...every feeling of Arnav s how you relate all the tiny lil things with Khushi ❤️❤️ Just Love tht
