Episode-208
Incoherent words; staccato sentences; everybody is frolicking. The ambiance is iridescent. All are prancing in rapture with the crescendo of the beats of drum. A man who claims to hate his woman, seemed broke though all the walls he had built, he was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. His eyes are shining with tenderness, gleaming with love, dancing with delight, flickering with emotions. Her eyes clear, luminescent and incongruently guileless. Their body shudders with pure happiness. They both danced in ecstasy. Both of their grief and inhibitions was relegated to oblivion.
It's a really a mirthful day for Khushi. Her family and naniji both finally absolved her and accepted her lovingly. She ponders her family's love a lot. She was so disquiet, when her beloved people were mad at her.
Khushi is flouncing in alacrity, serving bhang and thandai to everybody. Bua and amma seemed already drunk. She offers bhang to nani and makes her drink on nanaji's name. Mami refused to drink , but she feeds her by beguiling her. After mami drank, Khushi confesses that she mixed some bhang in the thandai.
She offers Anjali some thandai. Anjali made sure she dupes her or not. How can she cheat her now, after all she is pregnant. Anajli agrees to drink in one condition, if she calls her di. Khushi gets overwhelmed as Anjali is her Arnavji's most beloved. She willingly accepts her wish and hugs her immediately. Really it's a great day for her, got everybody's love and forgiveness. And the quintessential thing is she got Arnav's loving touch today.
Sly shyam was looking for opportunity to inveigle them. He intervenes while Anjali and Khsuhi was talking. He wishes to drink the bhang, what khushi made. Khushi resents to see him. She tells HP to serve him some thandai. And she addresses him jijaji, what certainly made Shyam annoyed. Shyam's impudence is unbearable. Khushi escapes from there. In this joyful day, his presence is perturbing her for sure. But clever Shyam doesn't want to get drunk today; he wants to be in his sanity, so that he can know, what was the secret behind Arnav and Khushi's abrupt wedding. He contrives to inebriate Khushi. He instigates Anjali to make khushi drink bhang. Anjali is also agog to make Khushi drunk.
Anjali offers Khsuhi bhang, but she refuses.
"No anjaliji, I never drink the bhang what I make. You know why, cause what is in my heart comes out involuntarily after drinking it."
Anjali forces her. khushi runs and Anjali chases her. Anjali feigns sadness,
What kind of sister in law she is that making her pregnant SIL run.
Khushi becomes apologetic. Anjali tells her that she just wants her to drink thandai. When Khushi still doesn't agree, Anjali gets upset,
"You don't trust your sister in law, let me drink then."
Khushi finally agrees to drink. Anjali bursts out in laughter, that she cheated her and made her drink the bhang.
"you shouldn't trust your nanad"
"what you did"
Khushi starts to hiccup. She gets scared in anticipation; how she will control her inner feelings now!
"I just fulfilled my duty as a SIL"...Anjali replies quizzically..
The sweetest thing was anjali called Khushi bhabi. But why didn't she call her bhabi later?
The raizadas and Guptas have become bonkers after drinking bhang. All are in delirium. Some mughal emperor's spook gets into mami. She is blabbering Salim, Anarkali, kaniz's story. Akash and Payal are giggling like school kids. Mami is telling Akash to change himself. Why he is in love with a simple kaneeez?
"But when you will change mamiji"...Khushi screams at mami. Khushi is completely under the bhang effect. Mami is startled
"Aur ek kaniz!"
"I'm phatti saree, why are you calling me kameej."
Khushi gives her more bhang to drink and tells her to say what is in her heart. She also wants to tell what she feels.
"Jab aap saj dhaj ke bahar niklina, saree, blouje, lipistick, aap bilkul bina baris ki indradhanush lagti hai."
"Kya, humko rainbow bulatarahi ho, you gustakh larki. Takhliya."
Mami gets mad at khushi.
After her gibberish talk with mami she now goes to Akash and Payal. Sitting between them, she opens Payal's childhood secret to Akash. When they were little Payal used to like a boy, who didn't wear specs like Akash. Payal and that boy used to put chameli ka tel on their hair and both always had runny nose. Akash gets sad to hear about Payal's love interest to some other guy in her childhood. But khushi admits that Akash is a very nice guy and she is very happy that she and Akash got married with each other. Her satire makes Akash and Payal giggle more.
After spurting out her dil ki baat to Akash and Payal, she now goes to nani and Anjali to share her feelings. She tells nani that she likes her a lot, but she is not like her nani. Naniji, who has become maudlin after drinking the bhang, gives her a push to hear this . Khushi mends herself that naniji is strict like her nani but she dances as well and both are very nice.
She now comes to Anjali. She first asks her forgiveness. She didn't want to hurt her. Whatever happened, she didn't do it intentionally. Along with everybody Shyam also has a queer feelings, to hear her apology.
"Woh Arnavji hai na, he told me that if I don't marry him, he will."
"khushi, don't you think, you drank too much bhang."
Arnav comes in the crux of the moment to stop her. hai, he is looking so cool in white! He is espying her keenly today. Khushi looks a bit baffled,
"bhang"
She offers him to drink bhang also.
"mai bhang nahi pita" (I don't drink bhang)
He replies grimly.
"Nahi pite, you don't drink, but you should drink and tell what is in your heart."
She demands like an adorable wifey. Arnav looks at her with darting eyes.
"are ha, yehi to woh, oh yes, he is the one who told me to."
Khushi can't complete as Arnav cuts her words.
"khushi jhoot math bolo...don't tell lie."
"jhoot...I'm telling the truth."
His face glints with a mischievous smirk. He deftly prevaricates her and doesn't let her tell the truth. Instead he speaks in deep baritone,
"Khushi kisiko yeh janne ki zarrorat nahi ki jab hum akele hote to kya karte."
(khushi, nobody needs to know, when we are alone what we do.)
I got goose bumps when he said that. It seemed, his subreption indicated his wish. He really wanted to do the things what husband-wife do in privy.
All becomes demur in coy to hear his bold confession.
"Mai bhang nahi pita, aur tum chup rahogi."
(I don't drink bhang and you will keep quiet.)
He puts his finger on her lips to make her silent and drags her with him. Nani and Anjali get ecstatic to see their chotey's pyaar to his wife.
Arnav tells Khushi to put down the bhang glass and admonishes her to drink more.
"Kiyu rakhe.nahi, nahi, nahi (why shall I put down the glass? Never, never, never)...she is obstinate, behaving like a stubborn kid. She doesn't want to stop drinking and promises to make him drunk also. She runs with the bhang glasses.
"Agar rokh sako to rokhlo. Stop me if you can. Today I'll tell everything what is in my mind"
She stumbles while running.
"khushi careful"..he is also alert. He is very much aware of his crazy girl's clumsiness. She trips a lot even in her sanity and he is always there to catch and hold her. Now when she is drunk, it's inevitable that she will stumble. Both come to the table where the drinks are kept. Arnav tells her to put down the glass.
"khushi dekho tum aur nai piogi. You will not drink any more. Put the glass down"
But who listens to sanka devi now. Today she is carefree, effervescing like a free bird. She will drink more and offers him also a glass to drink.
"if you want me to stop, then you have to drink a bit."
She is demanding like a little girl. He again stints her. But she will not listen to his any wish today and will not relinquish as well.
"What about my wish!"
Either he will drink or she will. She starts to drink again. Arnav gets frantic this time and chides her to stop.
"What do you want me to do, that I should drink also"
She nods her head yes. Her innocent demand is irrefutable. So he had to surrender to his stubborn wife. He drinks, but not bhang but thandai. But khushi's keen eyes caught his cheating.
"Aap ramanchi kar rahi hai"
"ramanchi"
"cheating, you are cheating."
"you have to drink again. Otherwise I'll not agree"
In pronto Khushi exchanges the glass of thandai and give him bhang. She now is waiting with a moue. How cute she is looking with a pouted face. I wished if Arnav would've given her a peck on that pouted lips! But he sure didn't get her trick and drank bhang. Anajli watches the scene and gets startled that this time her chottey is not only playing the holi, but drinking bhang also.
Now it's time for Khushi to reveal how she hoodwinked him.
"What do you think that you are very smart? But I'm smarter than you."
She pats on his shoulder.
"Kya hua, balti band ho gayi, aapki taraf se ma hi bol diti ho. What the, what the, what the"
(what happened, you became mute, in that case let me tell you on your behalf, what the, what the, what the.)
She moves away, prancing. Now it's time for Arnav to hiccup.
Khushi, amma, bua, payal, mami all seems are in the state of imbecility, all are now dancing in frisk.
Bhang started to affect Arnav also. His eyes are now are getting murky, and his dil ki baat. starts to coming out from his mouth. Standing in between nani and Anjali, he is getting bedazzled and enthralled by his beautiful wife.
"Kitni sundar lag rahi na Khsuhi. She is beeeauuutiful. Thodi pagal hai, par cute hai."
He is now getting crimson praising her beautiful Khushi.
"Uski baal, uski akhe, uski smile"
"her hair, her eyes, her smile"
A sweet loving smile suffuses his visage. His caramel eyes are dancing with amusement. He has been admiring her beauty since the day she fell in his arm in sheesh mahal. But never could tell. Every time he sees her he gets mesmerized by her beauty. But he always wanted to elude from his thought. Today in inebriated state, it's spurting out from his heart to mouth. He doesn't want to bridle his emotions any more. He starts to traipse towards the dancing Khushi, who is now wayward in joy. There is a contenting smile on Anajli's face to see her lovelorn brother. And nani is blushing to see her grandson's love.
Arnav slowly trudges towards Khushi with unsteady steps. He looks completely adrift by his wayward ethereal woman. He is smiling indulgently at her resilient irrepressible exuberance. She is bewildered to see him and stops dancing. Rabba vey ascends. A seductive, loving smile is glinting from his visage. He holds her and pulls her towards him in pronto. They become oblivious about the people around, just glance at each other appraisingly with their eyes flickering with a lazy smolder in their depth. All the loving memories encompass them; their sensuous teri meri dance, their almost kiss, the payal moment, all are reverberating in their mind. In those moments Khushi was always in rendition; she always craves to be touched by her Arnavji. Anajli is simply overjoyed to see her brother in so much happiness. Today he played holi, he drank bhang and also danced for Khushi.
After starring at her amusedly for a while Arnav twirls her in one swift movement. She swirls and stops. Her mouth is a little agape in amazement. She is aghast to see his usually hard, imperious eyes looking unbelievably soft and tender. Is it her laad governor or somebody else!
Arnav brings Anjali and nani to dance. He also dances, carefree, what is definitely not him, but the Arnav hidden inside ASR. He is just too delectable today. So he takes his sister in a warm embrace. Isn't she the one who always wanted to see him settled and happy in life?
Suddenly he notices that a guy is trying to get cozy with Khushi. He gets frantic. How dare is he tried to touch his khushi. He holds that guy vehemently.
"Tune meri biwiko hath kaise lagaya."
(how dare you touched my wife.)
"bura na mano, holi hai" the guy apologizes and he forgives him. But where is Khushi? He has to ensconce his biwi, his love, his Khushi.
