How Much Do You Love Your Sister?
Let the games begin, but where are Khushi and Arnav the family asked. Anjali says they must be busy with some
work. Oh yes Anjali, they are busy all
right, busy getting married.
Eloping,
a
marriage that happens rapidly without rituals (although they have experienced
the ransams in unusual ways), one that is not really accepted but shameful for
the family, that is what Arnav and Khushi are up to.
The family is in the midst of joy watching the newly wedded couple
tackle each other in a game of knots. At
the entrance way is another couple, the siblings of these newlyweds, who are
standing there. He has grasped her
nervous, dupatta wringing hand and slowly pulls her along. His blank stare and her saddened embarrassed
look on her face as she is dragged to the trial and jury.
The family notices and one by one we see mouths drop and eyes pop.
Shyam is first to say her name, "Khushiji."
The chant and drums begin in the background, our hearts keeping up
with the beat, with Arnav looking away and Khushi looking down, they stand in front
of the family as a newly eloped couple with flowers around their necks and
Khushi wearing a mangalsutra and sindoor on her maang.
Is this a joke?
Buaji and Garima ask Khushi first.
Tears start to flow all around.
Horror and shame, anger, disgust, how-dare-you attitudes start showing? Anjali, Nani, Buaji and Garima, Mami all in a
state of shock, start the attack of questions.
Who gave you the right to
take this step?
They all ask.
Silence.
A silence so deafening it hurts your ears.
Tears roll down our faces as we see Khushi's hurt and pain.
Even Arnav is affected.
I know his reasoning, I understand but if
only fate was kinder to him. They would
have realized what happened. Instead of
a hate marriage we would have had a love one.
Instead of him asking how much do you love your sister or what will you
do so your sister's marriage doesn't break he would have asked her how much do
you love me instead of Shyam? He
couldn't see her reality. He only saw
the one sided embrace and Shyam's professing his love. He never heard Khushi retort or I should say
he didn't understand it.
My heart
broke.
The only hope I have is that I
know that love prevails and their love is so deep they are bound for eternal
love.
What have you done? Nani
asks him.
The answer is what you see, he tells her. We have gotten married. He says this looking straight at Shyam; there
is nothing he can do anymore. Khushi now
belongs to Arnav.
He pulled her to poolside right before the wedding took place,
pulling her by her wrist and she yelled to him that he was hurting her. He didn't care because the pain she caused
him was much worse than this physical pain.
She innocently asks him why he brought her there. He says he will tell her. He faces the couple that is inside the house. He asks her,
How much do you love your sister, that you would do anything for
her, right?
He has also asked himself the same question for he believes what he
is about to do is saving his sister's life and marriage.
She agrees she would do anything for her sister.
He says then she must do something tonight.
What? She asks and he says, marry me, tonight,
right now for six months.
She steps
back.
He says otherwise the marriage
will not take place. She walks away from him, what nonsense she says and he
grabs her and answers her this is not nonsense.
He tightens his hold on her their bodies nearly touching.
Haan or No?
Each time he asks he holds her closer and tighter.
(Manhandled girls!!! LOL)
Khushi last time I am asking you.
Haan or No?
She pushes him away with all her might, with all her belief in the
sacredness of marriage.
NO!!! NEVER!!!
(not this
way, she may be thinking).
She questions his beliefs on a marital relationship? How could he think this? He knows what she believes and she
thought...
their relationship was going someplace.
He says think again.
He grabs her and show her her sister and Aakash waiting. They will not get married until he comes.
***
Anjali now goes up to Arnav and says you are just going to say your
married with no explanation. Yes, Anjali
he has done this for you. He loves you
so much that he is protecting you from your monster husband breaking your heart
and leaving you for Khushi. So he
married Khushi instead making her unavailable!
Now the attack is on Khushi again.
What has she done? Garima is
yelling is it true? Finally she slaps her across the face, hard enough to push
her into Arnav who catches her. His
anger is seen in his eyes. Shyam also
feels her pain. Yuck! Khushi looks up at him and he looks
away. She holds her cheek.
Again they ask them and again
Silence.
A silence so deafening it hurts your ears.
They are both hurt. They
have both hurt their families.
Why did you do this? Why did
you take this step?
***
Khushi asks Arnav why is he testing her. He can't do this. He can he says and he will unless she agrees
to his terms. He will give Mami the
reason and the wedding will be called off.
The face off begins but is won
by him hands down when he says, "You will accept my condition, you will marry
me, today, for six months. You know that
I can do this and end the marriage. Your
sister's life is in your hands."
She answers him she can't do it.
"Okay, but be prepared to wipe your sister's tears."
He walks away and she
recalls the first time her sister's wedding was broken ...
The Priest says, "The auspicious time is running out."
...and she stops him.
How Much Do You Love Your Sister?
"I am ready. I will get
married please don't ruin my sister's marriage."
How Much Do You Love Your Sister?
"Whatever you say I will do."
Her hands cover her face as she sobs.
