Episode 24
The Car and The Pychiatrist's Couch
Open to pouring rain, cats and dogs and a parking lot full of cars. Two people standing there in a tight hold. No one watching just a few parked cars. Beautiful music playing in the background. Rain falling down...
RABBA VE...RABBA VE...RABBA VE...
.She looks, realizing HE is holding her. He looks, HE realizes, he is holding her.
CRACK...CRACK thunder sounds twice and within that instant realization comes to mind, when suddenly he lets go of her like a hot potato, pushing her away. She stumbles back.
"I told you to take care of parking the car!! Not go in front of it!" He looks at her all wet and cold, soaked from head to toe. What is that look on his face? Is he feeling bad? Only the cars would know, because he certainly wouldn't admit it.
RABBA VE...RABBA VE...RABBA VE...
I am thinking,he's thinking, maybe I should do something, so he walks forward and she steps away from him and he asks her "what are you trying to prove? You want to attract attention? Are you helpless? Don't cry now." And he throws her his coat..."If you don't want to take care of yourself at least be responsible because you work for this company and its reputation"
HAH! like it was her responsibility, not his, for being in this situation. Guilty much, ASR? "
"I DON'T WANT IT!" she replies. She hands it back, he grabs it and she covers herself with her wet dupatta. He stomps away, leaving her in the rain with the lone witnesses, the Cars.
Scene Gupta house Payal outside worried, Buaji- "that girl is going to kill me!"
Outside the building named AR GROUP OF COMPANIES Kushi waits in the busy road. Rain pelting her still. She gets beeped by another car.
Wake up girl! Your stuck between a hard place (ASR Co.) and the road...either direction you go can be a dangerous step. Watch out for those cars they can be dangerous, as well as useful as you will see...
She is tapped on the shoulder by a man with an umbrella, very sweet, Akash. He tells her it is late, let me take you home, I don't want to leave you here alone. I am liking Akash and his chivalry here, not so much the other episode when he didn't give her the umbrella.
The road is long, dark, and rain is still pouring down and a lone speeding car comes in to view.
The demon is driving the car. This is the first time we see what he does when he drives. Driving in this car, where he is alone with himself, with his thoughts of her, alone with the camera of his mind, the shutters flashing the scenes before his eyes of "that girl" falling into his arms, of "that girl" looking ravishing in her red saree, of "that girl" standing in the rain, and of him saving "that girl" from an on coming car. Here he is driving in his car, his car where he is free from all scrutiny...his psychiatrist's couch. A safe haven for him to think, feel, see, without anyone knowing. Just him and the car and the road. A place where he can just go and drive and think and drive and think and see and think and feel and no one will know. Yes, his psychiatrist's couch, where it is safe to think, question and reminisce. But all these images... his mind won't stop...
STOP!...STOP! He slams on the breaks and swerves to a halt. He gets out. He can't take it anymore. He questions..why for the first time I feel like I did something wrong? I always do right? Why? Why do I keep thinking about her? Why? Why do I see her face all the time? Why?
Like lying on the pyschiatrist's couch he thinks and thinks and finally comes to an answer. His answer...
I do not..will not feel bad . Not this girl...
CRACK...CRACK... Thunder cracks and the answer comes...
ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANY GIRL!
Like the psychiatrist's couch, the car is there for him to lean on.
Meanwhile on another couch, I mean, in another car is Kushi and Akash. He says your family must be worried and she says especially my sister. They have a nice conversation where it is revealed that it is Kushi's sister's birthday and because of the events of the day Kushi couldn't get her sister a present. Akash hands her the Dupatta out of his briefcase thinking about the one he bought it for. He says I would probably like your sister and (quietly says to himself) anyway he isn't sure whether he will ever meet that girl he bought the dupatta for. They talk about the demon and he says that ASR has big responsibilities since he was young boy and Kushi responds but look at you, you are nice even though you drive a big car and you are not like him. Meanwhile she points out to him the street she lives on and he is surprised and they drive by a man with an umbrella that Kushi recognizes as Shyam. Shyam turns and appears to recognize the car. Suspiscious?
They pull up to Kushi's home where Akash see her! Payal! She is your sister? HE IS SOOO IN LOVE! He tells Kushi she will definitely like the dupatta. She says come inside and wish her but he refuses saying he has to go after having his own flashback moment with Payal. He whispers "a very Happy Birthday!" and he drives off.
Ten minutes left to celebrate! They are all excited. I love the simplicity of these girls. All they care about is being together and celebrating it doesn't matter for how long. Gotta love em and don't talk about the demon!. Shyam reaches out with the umbrella Kushi's slipper got stuck in the mud. She tries to get it out while Shyam is just drooling over her, very creepy in my opinion. Kushi takes notice and he makes an excuse that he doesn't want her to get sick. Let's go.
Just then she snee...he(ASR) snee...they sneeze together. achoo!!!! (this was the best scene ever! Just loved it! So cute!)
In ASR bedroom with the family. Anjali drying chote's hair. Nani bringing him tumeric milk with safron and Mami. Banter back and forth again with Nani and Mami when Mami proceeds to tell ASR what happened with Ratna and Anjali. How Ratna made Anjali sad and she didn't even respond. ASR jumps up, who hurt my sister and her champion comes in full force. He does admonish her with "Come on, Di, you know he has work!" Nani tells ASR that he missed the pooja but asks if he keeps a light on for Devi Maya at work? He remembers the "she devil", the one who is creeping into the crevices of his mind , and how she lit the lamp that made the whole fire alarm system swing into action. He gets pissed. Calls La. He wants HER number. La wants to know why are you spending so much thought /time on one employee? JUST GIVE ME THE NUMBER!!!DAMMIT(my improv)... KUSHI KUMARI GUPTA...I WON'T LET YOU BREATHE FOR ONE MINUTE!!!!!
The psychiatrist's couch is now available...appointments being taken...clear the book this is going to be a long session!!!
