House of Cards...What can I say ...(I was thinking about the collapsing relationships today...but couldn't sum-up to a title)and when i logon to IF I found this title...Superb title Sathya...And an apt one...
If we take the meaning literally its represents A flimsy structure built on a shaky foundation or an arrangement that is in the danger of collapsing or falling when the required element is removed...
And if we take that meaning and apply to our beloved characters and the current situations they are in ...Indeed they are in a House of Cards...Ready to collapse and fall anytime...
Arnav & Khushi
A marriage that started on a shaky foundation without trust...ready to collapse anytime...is currently balancing only on Love. Would Khushi trust Arnav enough to open her heart and reveal her love and would Arnav provide her with a strong foundation and support that she craves for and start their relationship again...(The answer is yes)...But till then their relationship...is a house of cards...ready to collapse anytime...
Akash & Payal
A marriage that started on the (assumption)fact that they both love each other deeply...would collapse anytime if the trust between them is not established strongly...The foundation of their relationship is shuddering ...and only a flimsy understanding between them is holding them together...Both need to work on their relationship without (the interference of) an outside force binding them together always...Till then their relationship is a house of cards...ready to crumple anytime...
Anjali & Shyam
A marriage which took place between a girl who wanted a secure home and a guy who wanted to destroy that home...(Which has already collapsed in the eyes of others)...but what is holding that demolished relationship... is the small conviction in herself(Anjali)... that I can set things right and I can build my world again...will that be enough for that relationship to surface...No...This relationship has to crumble and collapse for a secure foundation in her life...for that she needs a little nudge from truth...
Anjali & Arnav
A beautiful brother sister relationship...build around love, honesty and security...was crumbling because of a small nudge from trust...Will they recover in time before their relationship falls like a house of cards...
Today I think most of our doubts were cleared after watching the episode. Its now safe to assume that Khushi knows that contract doesn't mean a thing to Arnav. He wants to discuss and take things further. He wants the marriage to work. He wants to know how come it doesn't matter to her and she wants to end the relationship without giving a second thought. The desperation was there. He just wants her to come back to RM to work things out. Today ASR is willing to give every shot possible to work on this relationship.
He did everything he could to bring her back. But Khushi is still not willing to come back. So as a final measure he locks her out of the house. He watches her...while her gaze was fixed at the lock. He leaves hoping that this would be sufficient for Khushi to come back to him. Today when Arnav watched her in the patio...it was as though... he was trying to tell her... don't make me put you through this...Please come back to me.
But our strong, adamant, staunch, stubborn girl has a plan again...she tells him that she is willing to come back to RM and asks him to pick her up in 2 hrs. He vouches to set things right when she comes back and Khushi vouches not to return to RM again...We all know the outcome ...don't we...
Arnav returns after two hrs only to find GH locked and no one to answer his call. He immediately calls Khushi who confirms that she isn't at home. Her temporary solution to an ongoing problem. But even that temporary solution had gone with the wind when Arnav stood before her. He gets angry with Khushi for not only lying but also for the fact... that with every lie she moves away from him,...with every lie he looses his hold on her. She immediately informs him that she wouldn't be able to come with him. This doesn't stop Arnav from removing her blanket...only to be exposed to her injury. His anger is immediately replaced by concern. He quickly asks her as to how this happened and what the Doctor said.
She couldn't muster to look at him. He picks up this cue immediately, gets up from the bed and hurts himself at the door. Khushi who cann't see Arnav hurt immediately leaps out of the bed to be by his side. He knows you too well. Isn't that scary Khushi. He knows that you cannot lie to him. He knows that you cannot see him hurt. He also knows that you will sacrifice yourself for your loved ones. He knows you too well. More than that do you know he cannot see you hurt...Have you picked up that hint...He is your weakness khushi...and you are equally his. Remember that...and plan well next time...
He needs to know that there is something more than the contract that is bothering her. Today Arnav is willing to give everything for the marriage to work. He completely accepts her as his wife. But Khushi points out that it is an agreement that she is willing to hold for another 10 days.
Currently their relationship is like a house of cards...Lets see what Arnav has in mind to protect this relationship...as a little nudge in the wrong direction will bring the whole thing crumbling down...
