Episode 38
Always On My Mind
Buaji is sleeping in the chair and even in her sleep she is praising NandKishore! He is always on her mind! She awakens as Shyam is sneaking out the door holding the package. She asks him where he is going and he says nowhere. What's the package? A gift he says, she gets excited, a gift? Hmm, maybe for Kushi? Just then Payal and Kushi walk in. Buaji sees the state that Kushi is in with sindor all over her. Oh, NandKishore! She sends her for pooja and she comes back with it all over her. Kushi says it was that " Rakshas, Arnav Singh Raizada!!! "" Did you meet that demon, did he follow you? "She asks. Kushi answers, "No, he was with his sister Anjali who is so nice and sweet and he is such a demon!" (Who is always on your mind BTW). "Buaji, I also learned that Akash, the man who drove me home, is his brother. "Aye, NandKishore! How many of them will bother us"! Mother Superior Payal, perfect in every way, diffuses the situation by telling Kushi to go get cleaned up. Kushi is complaining that the tray is very heavy. Buaji reminds her of how she is like a delicate flower so it must be heavy for her' a little sarcasm there I think. Go wash'she is always in trouble!!!
Lavanya is at her apartment salivating over a bowl of chips. Right now food is always on her mind. 'No one will know', she thinks and just as she is placing that delicious salty chip into her mouth, the phone rings'Chips a flying she answers with excuses coming out of her mouth as her hello. "I didn't eat anything!! I didn't eat anything!!" Just like a guilty child! Di gives her all the particulars for the evening service and asks her to wear a saree and thanks her for taking part in the fast. Lavanya responds with "to prove to myself, uh, no prove my love for ASR is sincere." I do believe she believes that too. Di always taking care of her Chote who is always foremost on her mind!
Mami hears Anjali's conversation with Lavanya and realizes the intent. She is happy because If Nani approves of Lavanya then she will be first to print the invitations and then she can get her Akash married!!! Akash's marriage and her betterment in society are always on her mind!
Kushi is applying flour paste to help remove the sindor which has marked her. She looks in the mirror these stains are impossible to be removed! The stain is not just on her face but in her mind and heart as well. She may not know it now but this man has marked her'branded her for all time. Like a stunned calf after branding, she just doesn't get it. The little calf gets up right away but doesn't realize it has been marked. Confused, it carries on with its life. Kushi is just like that little calf, she doesn't know how deeply this man has marked her, stained her and branded her, all she wants to know is why does she continue to think about this demon? Why is he always on her mind? She relives the incident at Ber Sarai and so does he. We have a parallel track here and we watch the two who are lost in thoughts of each other. Rabba Ve' ASR thinks he was worried when she spoke but now he is worried more because of her silence. He asks himself what has happened to me? You met Kushi Kumari Gupta and she is always on your mind...that's what happened.
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mindSung by Elvis Presley (words & music by Wayne Thompson - Mark James - Johnny Christopher)
Payal enters the room and asks Kushi what she is thinking? Kushi blurts out, "Arnav Singh Raizada! He is always on my mind! I didn't talk to him or argue with him but never the less I can't get this man out of my mind. I don't know why I ruin my day thinking about him all the time and I don't have anything to do with him!" Because he is always on your mind, Kushi Kumari Gupta and in your heart! She goes to get ready.
In the Raizada living room the women of the house are sitting and chatting. ASR walks by and Di says you are still stained? Nani chimes in with that is why we have to be careful with his life. It is difficult to realize when you are in trouble. Stains can not be removed so easily! Mami jokes with Nani that she sounds like a detergent commercial. Just then a servant brings Mami her juice. She admonishes the "fool". She explains to Nani how she is getting older and she must drink some juice now but when she was younger she did not break the fast. Di comes to her rescue by asking Nani, ' juice is allowed, right?' She then continues to tell Nani that Lavanya has fasted not taking a single drop of water or juice today. Chote's happiness, (oh, really?), and the tranquility of the family are always on her mind.
Buaji brings the girls new sarees to wear for Teej. They are all excited and Kushi picks the orange one for her and gives her sister the green one. Buaji calls Kushi a butterfly as she flits about looking at her new saree excitedly. Shyam comes, stops dead at seeing her and tells her about the flour to remove her stain. She tells him Anjali told her the same thing today. She will thank her this evening when she sees her at the mandir at Chandi Chowk. Shyam looks worried for some reason..what is always on his mind?
Mami is talking with Nani and says how Anjali asked Lavanya to fast and of course Nani answers that Lavanya would never do it on her own. Mami says she has fasted, isn't that what matters? Just because she looks like a model doesn't mean she is not a simple girl in her heart. Nani retorts with just because YOU say so, I am suppose to believe you and accept her? Fasting does not make a person holy. Miss Kashyup is not going to be bahu in this house is always on her mind!!
Shyam explains that it will be crowded at that temple so why not go to Savitri Nagir. It is so far away says Buaji. Yes, says Shyam, but it is less crowded and less traffic. Buaji agrees.
Mami says aren't we to wear new things given to us by our in laws, if this is her subtle way of saying things watch out! Nani calls the servant who hands her gift to her she opens the jewels first. She takes Nani's blessings. $ always on Mami's mind! Nani and Chote give Di a gift from them but Nani wants something in return from her husband, he must give them a gift soon... a baby.
Girls are getting ready at the Gupta house and they both look stunning but when Buaji moves and Shyam sees Kushi he drops the gift.
Anjali and Mami getting ready and her gift comes from her husband. She is excited he has never forgotten her. Perhaps he picked this gift out himself? She is carefully getting ready for she hasn't see him in a long time. He is always on her mind!
Shyam sees Kushi, drops the gift bag and the saree falls out. Kushi sees and says to him what a beautiful saree is that for your Queen? Ah, uh, um... Buaji remember I said I have something to do I must go now... Who is going to take the girls? Kushi answers Buaji you have bothered Shyam all day. We will be okay. Stop bothering him he has something important to do'..
Yes, Kushi...he has something important to do....What is always on his mind? Deception perhaps?
