Recovery?

30th Sept

After the hideous buffoonery of the Wednesday episode, there was surprising recovery on the Sajan front. On the whole, cute episode, though I feel bad for Nupur/RP fans - Nupur had a tough time being ragged! Really wonder if the CV's are getting their backs on her and the fans for the hell they put them through for two months of Mission RP, not to mention trying to sabotage the show as much as they could.

Anyway, so Nups enters college all nervous, after being told by Mayank to take a cab, as she can't be seen with him.
In the meantime, Gunjan is trying to call Sam and is getting progressively more agitated when he doesn't answer.

Nupur enters, and Gunjan is there to accompany her in as she realised her sis would be nervous. And here's the role reversal that I loved - Gunjan smiling, confident, supporting her sis, being greeted by the students as Ma'am, and reassuring Nups all the way. But then she has to leave - to wake up Samrat! That was cute - Nups asking, where are you going? Gunjan - Samratji ko jagaane! No beating around the bush, no blushing, whatever stage of their relationship they're in, the friendship is very much back, as is the closeness, and an unconscious possessiveness, an 'apnapan', that she has all the right to do this. It's only that last stage that remains to be covered, to be re-defined.

Nups gets called Aunty, and ragged, and ragged again, by RoAsh, taking badla for the bossing around she did earlier? Or just because she has become pretty obnoxious ... the way she spoke to them even now was rude, to say the least. One track might be that her natural loudness and sharp tongue gets curbed because of being a student again, and a new one at that. Or more likely, RoAsh will just apologize - nothing much further.

Gunji reaches Sam's house, he doesn't answer the doorbell, is sleepy and nonsensical on the phone. Kumbhkaran ki aulad!!!
So Gunji decides to get to his room - but how?
Simple - follow Samrat's route. Get a ladder.
So she does exactly that. And one of the cutest scenes of MJHT where Gunji, looking gorgeous, if rather ruffled, in soft grey, climbs a ladder to sleeping Sam's bedroom, praying nervously all the while, telling herself there's nothing to be worried about.

She enters Sam's room - he's fast asleep. She glares and then tries calling gently. No response. Louder. Still none.
So she leans on the bed to wake him, he turns and rolls over on to her arm, capturing her there close to him. and she stops and stares at him. I need a dream emoticon here :)
And next time she calls his name, her voice is much softer ... first he thinks she's a dream, and he tells her she looks even more beautiful in his dream. Sigh. No wonder Gunji is melting slowly.
But when he realises she isn't a dream - he shouts and jumps up ROFL - modesty outraged??!!!
