13th Sept
Starts with Shyamji finally getting off his backside and off the fence and starting to turn a darker shade of grey. And again underlining how he sweet-talks Anjali into following his every little whim, down to choosing what necklace to wear. Does Anjali set out such a bazaar every morning - just wondering! Shyam has been leading his double life for so long now, and it's getting out of control - how long can he continue staying out of Khushi's way at Shantivan, especially as her hours there are getting longer and longer? He has to do something. Mission - get Khushi out of SV, while keeping Rani Sahiba and marriage intact - after all, love makes the world go round, but it doesn't pay the bills. And the feelings for Khushi are deepening slowly into obsession, and an ugly one at that. So he doesn't care about Khushi's name, her reputation, her being insulted again by being labelled a thief - as long as it gets her out of SV, back into his personal orbit, without overlapping his saintly wife's orbit - all those crocodile tears about being distressed at her insults and humiliation at SV are forgotten. He's tried again and again to push her, cajole her, persuade her to leave her job, but Khushi is a tougher nut to crack than his wife ... Khushi won't budge. So he has to step in now.
This should give the story the needed push ... Shyam had to turn evil and actually start doing something. Next step will have to be Khushi or Arnav, or both, discovering his true colours, and wanting to protect Anjali - so the first uneasy alliance. So step One taken.
Cute Khushi Payal scene - liked the way Payal is enquiring about when Akash will come for the car! And Khushi wondering why Akash chose of all garages in Delhi, this particular one!
And Shyam puts necklace in Khushi's bag. Slimeball Shyam.
ASR's color combination was not good today. poor guy is obviously off balance by all the pranks - has to ask Jayprakash to check his clothes and shoes! Arey baba, the girl hasn't even reached Shantivan yet!
La blah, mami and goat.
ASR leaves for office, to find Khushi at the door, praying that she doesn't see him today. Wonder why he didn't blast her straight away - did he decide to wait till he got back home and more time to do a thorough job? Anyway, he listens to her prayer for once, sidesteps her and walks out while her eyes are still closed ... only to stop and look back at her.
*Sigh* I wish he had better expressions here, I really do - does his face soften, or is it angry, or just expressionless?
No such problem with Sanaya - her expressions are as usual perfect ... the pleased thanks to devi maiyya, then she looks slightly puzzled, and turns, her eyes searching ... to see nothing. And that slightest of frowns, as though to say ... did I imagine it? Before she turns and walks inside, still slighly puzzled, then she shrugs it off, and wonders why her bag is heavier than usual.
Lesson on daals today - and Anjali gets phone call from Slimeball, asking about necklace. While Laxmi the great attacks Khushi's bag .. go, goatwa, go!
Blah and mami and daals - Mami found someone more dumb than she is! Or more unwilling to learn!
Arnav-Khushi ... ahh, now this was more like it! Arnav accusing as usual without thinking, without listening, Khushi equally hot-headed, answering back, no appeasement here ... to the point that, all right, you're accusing me of breaking this, let me actually do it ...
Anjali comes to break the tension and tell Arnav that she broke the laptop and sent Khushi to put it back ... but Arnav hates being wrong, so he doesn't even allow Anjali to apologise ... calls Khushi 'naukar' and leaves ... only to turn back and see her holding back her tears. And he feels bad again ... yes, yet again, he did it. But he has to keep her away from him, he cannot allow himself to feel sorry for her, to think better of her ... because Arnav Singh Raizada is for the first time in many years, scared. So he has to keep reminding himself ... as loudly as possible, how vile, how despicable, how totally below his world she is. And maybe if he says it loud enough, he might start believing it one day.
And she is left in tears yet again, wondering why his words prick her so much ... she can ignore Blah's and mami's insults, their calling her a servant ... but why not him?
Creepy Shyam - this guy is becoming rapidly obsessive - he's already practicing his supportive friend speech for when Khushi returns after being accused of the 'theft' he engineered.
