14/9 - Epi 75 ... First apology ... first smile

14th Sept

Two milestones
One hothead apologised for her actions, for causing pain unknowingly, and the other hothead smiled.
When I saw the SBB and the promo, I cringed at the OTT crying, and thought I would hate the episode. Started framing a strong post to make regarding the cv's turning Khushi into an idiot again. But thankfully the OTT part was kept to a minimum, and I could see why the obvious K3G copy was required ... to make the man SMILE! A dignified, sober apology wouldn't have had the same thaw effect.

So all in all, a decent episode again. Starting with Anjali and a very sober Khushi joining Nani ... and finally the cv's seem to have heard or realised the continuity issues between episodes, because after the yelling Arnav gave Khushi last episode, she was obviously still upset and down in this one. And liked the first touch - Khushi stopped Anjali from telling nani about the laptop incident.

Mami, la the blah ... blah taking Mary's little lamb for a walk. Any child could predict that lamb will get not follow blah to school, but will get lost.

Khushi goes to get the tea tray from poolside ... Arnav comes there ... to apologise? He starts off very gently for sure ... but as usual between them, she doesn't wait to listen. Then the dupatta not-holding and the tea throwing ... and she runs away, while he stays silent. Only after she leaves, does his face show his pain - pure physical pain from the burn this time. Maybe that's why he kept quiet and didn't shout at her for the tea.
Barun's expressions have really improved!

Khushi bumps into Anjali, hears that Arnav has got badly burnt and is horrified at what she did. Gets the ointment, and when Anjali asks Arnav how it happened, Arnav stops Khushi from saying anything. Anjali says this is what you're like since childhood ... you never show your hurt to others. And Khushi feels even more guilty. Anjali leaves, Khushi comes to the door again, her guilt and remorse showing in her face, she tries to say something, but he shuts the door on her. And she feels even worse. She has to apologise. It's her fault.

So she goes again to find him at the poolside with his plants. he starts off brusquely again, what are you doing here? And then he's taken aback at her tears and her obviously very heartfelt apology ... I never burnt anyone before, I didn't mean to ... I thought you held my dupatta ... when you hadddnnn'ttt ... bawl ...
He's very, very uncomfortable at the crying, and bewildered too. Is she crying because she thought he held her dupatta? Or because he didn't?
So he asks cautiously ... er, was I suppposed to?
She bawls again ... and I did all those pranks, the sugar in your car (he looks angry again), the jui-i-i-ce ... (he's taken aback) - mango juice (sternly) ...
She feels the need to explain ... because I couldn't find orange juice.
And he can't help it. He has to smile. This girl is one piece.

So I had to apologise. Please forgive me.

Very, very uncomfortable, but the anger is gone, vanquished by the amusement. He offers her a tissue box.
She looks at it, takes her dupatta and blows her nose vigorously.
I felt the way Arnav looked. Yuck! *rofl*
Then she says determinedly - I've said what I had to say. I'm going now.

Leaving him speechless. The only thing he can think of is  "Unbelievable!" This girl is something else. Fights like a wildcat when provoked, but melts like butter in a warm oven when she actually hurts someone, even by mistake. And her genuine heartfelt contrition showed the pure heart inside that wildcat - so much remorse over a mistake! Over hurting him ... him, Arnav Singh Raizada ... when he had hurt her far, far worse, on many more occasions, and had never even once acknowledged his mistake, let alone apologise.

Apology was OTT, yes. But thankfully not stretched too long, and the reason for it being so OTT was clear - it was the only way Arnav Singh Raizada would have gotten off his high horse enough to smile. The childlike innocence and softness of the girl he had been fighting all along was laid before him in a way even he couldn't ignore.
Will this start the thaw? It definitely should.

Also, this change might play a role in the mystery of the missing necklace. Because if Khushi could be so upset over a mistake committed in the heat of the moment, and could bring herself to instantly apologise to Arnav, her nemesis, it shows that she is not the sort to bear grudges and to commit a theft knowingly. So hopefully we will see Arnav defend her in the necklace theft. 

Rest of episode was more Blah, goatwa going missing, mami getting a duplicate, and Khushi going to find the original. And Nani has of course discovered that Laxmi is not Laxmi.
Interesting house - the loss of a goat is discovered faster than the loss of a diamond necklace. Or has Anjali forgotten that her sainted husband asked her to wear it?
