Episode 132

The Deal

In the cafe a young man takes a deep breath and falls to his knees asking a woman to love him forever but she can't answer.  He shares his feelings of undying love to her while their siblings watch from across the room in shock.    He begs her to tell him she loves him.  

"Jiji", Kushi calls her. She asks her about Akash and she didn't even tell her.  Now LG has to become involved.  He asks Akash if he has lost it and adds, with HER sister?  The two are now going to have a battle.  Kushi says Akash spoke about marriage first.  Her sister hasn't even answered.  Akash tries to continue his conversation with Payal but the two knuckleheads continue their battle.  He tells the sisters, plural, to stop day dreaming.  He begs Akash that he didn't mention marriage.  The waiter comes in and lightens the situation by asking if they would like two couple tables.  ASR says to him angrily do you find us as couples?  The waiter gets flustered yes, no.  Mineral water or soda?  

He says to Kushi he won't allow his brother to go into a relationship with HER sister!  She says the same.  Kushi tells Akash not to feel bad but the refusal is because of him, ASR.  She tells him she will find many grooms for her sister.  He says then start looking because he is not interested in making his brother a confectioner.  Everyone in the caf laughs.  And she doesn't want her sister to be under the control of a dictator, she says it seems the British have forgotten to take you along.  The caf customers laugh again.He asks her what did she say LG?  And she says confectioner?  Both Payal and Akash ask their siblings to stop, it is a matter between them.  Akash says she hasn't accepted yet.  Payal says and she won't.  Her answer is NO!  Akash says but he loves her.  She asks love?  What do you know about me that you love me she asks him.  She asks him if he knows why she came to Delhi from Lucknow it was because her marriage broke at the last minute.  Arnav's eyes go wide.  Kushi looks worried.  Does he know what her parents had to go through because of this?  You don't know but HE?  HE knows everything.  She looks at ASR and says she is talking about the day that'Kushi stops her.  Payal is in tears.  Kushi shakes her head no, don't continue;  anyways her answer is NO.    She turns away from him and as we all know that is indicative in IPK of lies!!! She loves him but won't say.  They leave the men there, Kushi looking back at Arnav.  His jaw clenches, guilt much?

Akash and Arnav are in the car and Akash sighs.  He is visibly upset.  Akash asks about the meeting and ASR says he will manage over the phone.  Akash gets out of the car all forlorn and ASR is perplexed.  ASR gets out of the car and remembers Payals words, he pictures in his mind Kushi falling into his arms the night of his fashion show at Sheesh Mahal. Her running out of the room he locked her in and them discussing her dowry, the wedding and how it may break.  He said so let it break. He broke her pearl dori that night. He is visibly pained by these memories and feeling guilt, pain and remorse it seems.  Why didn't he listen, she was telling the truth.  He slams his fist on his car.

Kushi is on the phone with Anjali but she won't be going in today for Payal is very upset.  Kushi goes to speak with Payal but she doesn't want to talk about it.  She wants to be left alone.

Kushi is having a conversation with DM and doesn't understand why her sister didn't tell her anything.  She shares all her feelings with her sister.  She asks the Goddess to take care of her sister for she is worried about her.

Akash is looking at the payals he bought for Payal.  He hopes he could change her mind.  ASR comes down the stairs to see an upset Akash.  Instead of facing it and his guilt he gpoes to turn around but Akash sees him.    He sees how upset Akash is and goes to him.  Akash tells him he has refused him for the second time but he is unable to accept it.  He says that she wants to know how he fell in love when he doesn't know her but he asks his brother is there any reason to fall in love.  He asks him about Payal's broken marriage.  Akash tells him it makes no difference to him because he loves her a lot.  Arnav asks him are you sure about your feelings for this girl?  He says he loves her and Arnav says he doesn't understand about love matters.  He just wants to know if he wants to spend the rest of his life with this girl.  Will you regret this? Akash answers never, he will love her forever.  Okay, then it's done; Arnav says he will make the deal final.  ASR gets on the phone.

Kushi's phone rings; it is him!  She tellshim her sister has already said no.  He says his brother is not ready to accept that answer and he must meet her in that caf in half an hour. She says she won't meet him and hangs up. Through gritted teeth he says her name slowly, KKG.  She hangs up "cursing" him too!  "Who does he think he is!"

Payal goes to the cupboard and Akash's gifted dupatta falls on her head.  She is talking to herself not knowing Kushi is looking on.  She says what will her consent do when their destiny is not to be together.  She asks for his forgiveness; how many times has she refused and broken his heart?  She breaks down in tears holding the scarf close to her.  Kushi remembers when Akash gave her the dupatta for her sister, when Happy tells Payal about Akash coming for his car and she smiles when she realizes that Payal loves Akash.  She tries to call Arnav and he is trying to call her.  "What the?" he is sooo angry he can't get through to her.  She must be talking with her fianc, which makes him even angrier.  She gets through to himfinally and his first words to her were whom was she talking to, like it is his right to ask her that question.  She says never mind and they meet that night, same hotel, same waiter. 

"Table for two?"  He warily questions them.  Arnav attempts to pull out the chair for Kushi, she goes around to the other chair, he goes to the chair and she says she is sitting there.  He says he knows that is why he is pulling out the chair.  Chivalry obviously isn't dead when ASR is around!  He asks what she wants to order and she says tea.  He says to the waiter tea and black coffee and she jumps to tell the waiter "NO SUGAR" for his coffee.  How sweet!  Kushi tells him he was right and he answers, he is never wrong.  The tea and coffee come but her tea is black and he says she makes her own.  She mumbles then what do they get paid for if she has to make it they would have been better off at a tea stall, but atleast they gave a biscuit for free.  She attempts opening it with her teeth!  He says if her conversation is over about tea and biscuits could they please discuss Payal and Akash.  Kushi tells him that payal has been upset ever since she refuse Akash's proposal.  All she wants is her sister to be happy.  He agrees that it would be good for Akash as well.

He thinks this deal will be good.

episode 129

"haan di, aap pahuch gayi... ok theek hai," he was speaking to his sister on the phone and as he turned to leave, he stopped.

gust of wind.

he turned slowly, but it seemed as though he'd seen her already, knew the undeniable awaited him there, he just had to look... compulsion, can't look away. he is the tormentor, in command, master of the moment in pursuit of an admission of a faraq and just in case it isn't there, then the deliverer of vengeance, devastation... for not caring when he gave such a  damn.

yet in that blood red lehenga, hair open, ethereal, she is the one in control... actually, isn't she the one in control anyway, the one with the power? when she is hurt, she can still look at it fairly reasonably and chat with dm, somehow get back to life. but when it comes to her he seems to lose all his bearings.👏

why can't his eyes stop smouldering when he looks at her. why is there a  hint of complaint behind the stoked passion... who are you, why are you so far away, why won't you let me matter to you, why aren't you mine?

the wind was hollowing, billowing out, surging.

"la-avanya ji, hum..." and she sensed him too, one hand on chunni, awkwardness within, beyond the mirror curtain he is there. sheesh mahal, the house of mirrors, a dream world of mirrors here... a make believe sheesh mahal? there was the sunday store room; then their room in nainital, a haven in the middle of nowhere; now in a sprawling, crowded shop their private enclosure of mirrors; in a jungle some day, a bucolic hut with all they need... then maa's glowing garden; and finally, a room with the sky within.👏

why this slipping into fantasy spaces? where only the two and a feeling were present? the constant stepping away from the three dimensions that seemed to invite us to leave hard reality behind too... was it to underscore the non-material nature of love... say it strides another space, a space not measurable in real estate terms but equally valid? and perhaps more essential.---hmmm nice  one, sochega padi!!

i also feel it had an impact on the viewer. i started thinking of the two together... away from everyone else, and at the risk of sounding nauseatingly mushy, got to say, i let them into a space money can't buy... my "dil." i have never wept over tv characters before... in fact, i am not the sort who cries at films. yet asr touches my insides, and khushi too. i actually spent a whole day feeling terrible about what transpired in 129/130. but let's go back to the two. she has just seen him...

and rabba ve came in, gentle, tender, probing to test the mood; the clear innocent notes of a lightly touched piano.

she was taken aback, embarrassed, shy.

he was dumbfounded... then the three horizontal lines began to appear on his forehead, a trademark asr muscle movement... along with it, eyes growing fiery brown, concentrated...

her hands fidgeted... trademark khushi when nervous, perturbed..

he started moving toward her exactly as he had the day he saw her in a red saree in his office... immersed in her, not really conscious of what he's doing... just being reeled in as though by an invisible rope... that day too her eyes had been troubled, and she had no idea how enchanting she looked. her hair was open, a dark deep red made her look even more vulnerable, innocent... he couldn't help but drown in the sensation.

she squirmed, flustered

she drew her dupatta, again the dupatta, protectively over her.

when he lifted his hands to part the mirror curtains and enter the enchanted space, why did i get a feeling of a suhaag raat, of a man coming to claim his woman in the most ancient, elemental sense of the word?

he walked right up to her and stared unabashedly. she looked away, a little uncomfortable, very conscious of that gaze... as if of its own volition his hand lifted.

as it did i felt a moment of contact... in his involuntary reach out, in her immediate registering of it and furtively stepping back, they had already touched each other.❤️

what was he going to do? touch her? before one could think, she'd looked at him funnily and stepped out of reach.

and a hardened expression replaced his smitten, mesmerized look.

did he change his mind at this moment? or was he planning to hurt her all along? my bet, he was not thinking at all once he saw his woman in red...it was her stepping back and that "what are you doing" look that catapulted his brain into focus and the meanness came racing out. - agreed!

that she got under his skin or nudged his dormant dil is one thing, but khushi kumari gupta really invaded arnav singh raizada's most prized possession. his dimaag. she had entered that and played with the synapses, and every once in a while they stopped functioning in her presence... especially when she looked so innocent, so lovely, so... oh all he wanted was her, the why when where of it didn't matter, she overtook his whole mind, he couldn't see beyond that.

this asr could not tolerate. this control she had over his brain. he had to do something about it.

gah, i think he wanted to push that lock of hair back from her face, his hand rose much higher than where the tag hung...

then he reached down and pulled up the tag.

and the devil in him returned with glee.

"utna bhi bura nahin hai... par tum aur tumhara fiance afford nahin kar paaoge." it's not bad, but you and your fiance won't be able to afford it.

she looked up and she knew he was out to hurt her now.

"what a pity...par aaj main bahut achhe mood mein hoon... so what the hell. main tumhe kharid ke de deta hoon...apne fiance se kahna arnav singh raizada ne engagement present diya hai..."

what a pity... but today i am in a very good mood.. so what the hell. i'll buy it for you... tell your fiance that arnav singh raizada gave an engagement gift.

then he plunged in the dagger and turned it at the same time.

"after all, tumne lavanya aur mere liye itna kuch kiya hai... gift nahin toh tip samajh ke le lo..." after all, you have done so much for la and myself... if not a gift, consider it a tip. to insure privilege. the privilege of being insulted by him.

a little pause before "tip" and the slightest sardonic smile... he's aiming for maximum damage...

but khushi is not wilting. she's had enough. she's not going to give him the satisfaction of that stunned, tearful look she had when he played his necklace trick. something you really liked, i gave lavanya, hope tumhe koi faraq nahin padta. what had he given la? something she'd liked despite herself... no not that necklace, you silly man... but in the complex and convoluted game of emotions they play, they both know that. but this time he's insinuating a price tag can be put on her, her desires, she's for sale... almost.

in a cold, quiet voice, with an edge of return fire, she replied,

"nahin chahiye... lekin poochne ke liye shukriya.. aur aapne bhi theek kaha tha utna bhi boora nahin hai lekin utna khaas bhi nahin hai.. hume yeh pasand nahin hai..."

i don't want... but thanks for asking... and you were also right, it's not bad, but it's not that special either... i don't like it...

tears in her voice. but she had played back a move at him. she rejected his pasand as he'd rejected hers with the ring earlier at rm. his nostrils flared, his lips pursed, he wanted to lash back but the phone rang... he glared threateningly and left...

then came the tears.

she sat by herself holding that chit of a paper which he'd made into such a deadly weapon and cried. la was so sweetly clueless rushing around and trying on things...

"chamkili, in dino aisa lag raha hai jaise main ek dream world mein rah rahi hoon," chamkili, these days i get the feeling i am living in a dream world.

he'd finished his call and was in front of the mirror curtains at the doorway, he just stood there watching her suffering, she looked at the price tag, no doubt remembering the egregious insult... strains of sitar delineate the riffs of pain echoing in her...

and through her tears, a young helpless girl spoke her innermost feelings, unprotected as she was before the harshness of this real world... a trembling voice from deep within, sanaya at the height of her art, never allowing the moment to catch melodrama...

"sapno ki duniya mein rahana hi achcha hai, lavanya ji...kyunki asli duniya mein sirf dil toot-te hain..."

it is better to stay in a world of dreams, because in the real world, only hearts break.

heart break.

he had taken her all the way to this never before seen place. his gift... or maybe his tip.

her broken, shattered mirrors within, seems to cut his heart... the one he believes he doesn't have... and a tear drop drenches a price tag. the priceless one sits before him and weeps and he who is the expert at knowing the price of things but unable to gauge the value of some... suffers watching her. reflections of each other, no distortion if you have the heart to see.

there was no price tag for the scene either...

rabba ve and the most solemn tones of background score.

he parted the curtains again... maybe this time to come and heal her, even surrender... his eyes seemed to go red with tears. tears? yes, they were that.

his hand came up again as if to tell her not to feel so bad... he couldn't... instead he felt all of her pain... each and every bit of it... in him. he could never hurt her and not feel the hurt himself...

a balled fist opened slowly... a girl unaware wept quietly... mirrors swayed and reflected and glittered...he turned and left, still in pain... almost uncontrollable. the glass curtains swung and made noise, she looked up startled... who's there.

asr left soon afterwards, leaving his girl friend perplexed... yet a certain calm had entered khushi after the tears had flowed. she said to la, if you wish to wear something, do so, don't worry what others say and her face was composed. she was learning to steel herself against the onslaught, at least on the surface... she of course, had no idea that someone else too was crying in that corner of mirrors and dreams.

Arshi

Very interesting analysis and creations giffs actually I love the way Arnav and Khushi bonded to solve their respective quiet but determined siblings together this also acted as a eye opener to these fiery tempered duo that how love has to be  cherished and held. one thing how Khushi could help the loving couple to come together and filmy hare brained but effective scheme of Khushi and how Arnav fell in line made me remember this song

episode-134

Arnav is looking at Khushi amusingly, a surge of satisfaction is visible in his countenance. Khushi is staring at her jiji, her eyes are shinning with delight. Akash asks Arnav for the herbal balm to put on Payal's wound. His jijaji tells that this balm heals every pain.

Akash's happiness knows no bound, usko Payal jo mila. He is praising Khushi and her plan, the plan was filmy, but good. He applauds Khushi, "Khushiji is crazy, but different than anybody else." Both the brothers take each other in a warm embrace. Arnav feels a jolt inside to think about Khushi, a tender smile glints on his face, "yes, she is crazy indeed."

Payal is gently caring the bandage what Akash put on her. Wearing a pair of glasses Khushi is mimicking Akash. But Payal is incredulous whether his family agree for marriage or not! Khushi assures her that Arnav will take care of everything. Payal is very enamored at Arnav's demeanor today. "Arnavji is not like that what I thought." Khushi replies pensively, "yes he is not like that."

Mami invited some Ms. India with her family. She is fixing Akash's wedding with her. When mami introduced her with Akash, he straightly denies the proposal. He tells her loud and clear that he already chose the bride for him and it's no other, but Payal. Mami is flabbergasted to hear this. Akash is determined in his decision. Arnav looks surprised to see his confidence and mama looks happy too. Mami antagonizes him and starts to argue in front of the guest, "you wanna marry phatti saree's sister, khoon bhari tang!" She disparages Payal very meanly in front of everybody. Hearing her yelp, the rest of the family also gather there. The girl's father gets irritated at mami. Mami tries to meliorate the situation, "Akash bituwa ekdum jokile hai." she pretends to laugh that Akash was playing pranks. But Akash is obdurate, 'I'm not joking." He apologizes to the girl's father for the unpleasant circumstances. He is confident that he will marry only Payal. Nani, Anjali gets delighted to hear it. Mami tries to refrain the girl and her family, but they leave in annoyance. She tells mama to do something. But mama also supports Akash. Mami is getting frantic now, "everybody is doing rebelia(rebel)  against me?" thanks i didn't catch this

Nani refutes her, "kahe ise kilmilai rehet aap.(why are making a fuss about it?), how did you think that Akash will marry a girl like Ms. India?" She meant Akash is a simple guy who will definitely chose a simple girl. Mami is irascible that he has become more simpelia( simple) in the matter of marriage. She gets frenzy, how cum he can select an ignoble girl, phatti saree's sister Payal who belongs to a very poor family. She avows that she will never let it happened. She leaves in anger. Nani is so happy for her grandson that he chose the right girl. Anjali hugs him, "now you don't have to make any excuses to meet her." Arnav gives him an assuring hug. 

Bua comes to Khushi and payal's room and starts scolding Khushi, as Khushi was playing with her glasses. When she comes close to Khushi, she smells something. Khushi asks her whether she put some balm or not. She tells her that Shyam gave her the herbal balm and said that it heals all kind of pain. This dialogue seems familiar to Khushi that she might hear it before. Think more Khushi, you are going towards to solve the puzzle.

Mami calls Payal and curses her, insults her, humiliates her as much as possible. She accuses her as a smart girl to ensanre Akash. She admonishes her that she will never make her Akash's bride. Payal tries to defend her, but she is not ready to listen anything. She ridicules her, whether she saw no parking on the street or not. Like that sign board she will also put a no marriage sign for her. Payal gets terribly upset after this insolence. Bua hears her and gets skeptical. - great description

Payal calls Akash and tells her about his mom's asperity, that she will never accept her. She says that they can't build their relationship with her acrimony. She tells him to forget her.  Khushi hears her convo. she gets exasperated at Arnav that why he didn't take care of the situation. she says grimly, 'Arnav singh Raizada" She calls Arnav immediately and starts to scream at him, " If someone calls and tells to finish the relationship, it ends like this?. if it would be like that then why he made her to fix it" Arnav cuts her call. He must be quite oblivion about the fact that mami cursed Payal and tried to break the relationship. Khushi gets infuriated, she needs to go in person to handle the situation.

Mami is frantic at Payal that she complained to Akash. Akash defends Payal that she didn't complain but told to break the relationship. nani, Anjali, La all are trying to make mami understand. But mami in inexorable, she threatens Akash that if he takes Payal's side then it will be very bad. Akash gets upset, 'OK I'll not tell anything or do anything." he leaves in anger. Anjali. mama all call him to stay back. Mami gets frightened a bit.

Khushi comes straight in front of Arnav. Arnav is surprised to see her "Khushi" Khuhsi accuses him that this is how he is handling the situation, where mami called Payal and cursed her. Payal is crying incessantly. If he knew mami would not accept Payal then why he assured her. Arnav tells her to take a deep breath and relax. But how Khushi can relax, where are jiji is hurt and crying. He tells her that he will talk to mami. Khushi can't rely on him, "how will you talk, you are so short tempered that will get angry while talking." Khushi's accusation rankles Arnav.  She tells him that he is infuriating even now. She is thinking to do something else, what can make mami understand. She suggests him to practice. She pretends to be mami and tells Arnav to make her agree, "mein mamiji hoon, aab mujhe manao, hello hi, bye, bye." she gives the same expression like mami.

Arnav is annoyed at Khushi's weird idea. He doesn't pay any attention and gets immersed in his work, "what nonsense." Khushi tells him that her idea is not nonsense but good. She reminds him how her idea worked before. 😆She imitates mami again, 'hello hi bye bye." She is now in full acting spree. When Arnav doesn't continue the practice, she pats his shoulder to turn and suggests him to practice.  'kahe, Arnav bituwa. "  Arnav also starts to do acting with her, 'kahe means, it's their lives, their choice. and according to some survey the people who live their lives as their choice remain happy. 60% people." he can't continue cause Khushi cuts him, "you will talk like this?" she is not happy with the outcome. She tells him to speak emotionally. "thoda bhabna ke sath kahiye naa?" Arnav gets mad, "I told you I'll handle, why are you bringing bhabna (emotions) here." Khushi tries to say him to speak with feelings. She demonstrates him how to speak with feelings.

Gosh I can't believe that Mr, sexy grumpy Raizada, who is very practical will agree to do nautanki with his crazy girl Khushi.😆

aap aur hum kya banayege jodia mamiji

Jodia to banke ate hai

koi na koi, kahi na kahi

kisikeliye bana hota hai.

jaise Payal, Akash ke liye

you or me who are we to make pair.

the pair is already made.

there is someone somewhere is already made for each other.

Like how Payal made for Akash.

Arnav is ambiguous, "so I'll tell this to maiji?" 

Khsuhi says that "absolutely." 

Arnav says, "If she doesn't agree after this filmi lecture then?"

Khushi shows him how to do the next part of the drama. "To is tarah se halke se moriye aur kahega.( so turn slightly like this and tell)

 kuch kuch hota hai mamiji, aap nahi samjhenge.(something happened mamiji, but you will not understand)

"what crap." 😆🤣Arnav is baffled.

 Arnav will definitely not say this to mami.

 Khushi tries to say that her way is better than his. It will sure work. she can't complete when they hear everybody is calling Akash to stay back.

Akash is leaving the house without listening to anybody.

 Let's see how Arnav agrees mami by Khushi's Khuch kuch hota hai dialogue.

Khushi told the axiom truth to Arnav that someone somewhere is made for everybody.
