27/10 - Epi 107 ... One step forward, one back ... one forward again?

27th Oct Thurs

So after a pheeka Diwali episode full of Slimeball Shyam, Brainless Buaji and Gutless Garima, we get an Arhilicious episode again ... cv's are being very smart! And judging by the SBS segments, all these scenes have been shot much earlier, so they have enough time to play around with the editing.

In terms of Arshi, one step forward ... the mitti in eye scene ... pulsating!

Nimbu mirchi ... one step back ... Khushi clueless again, and silliness quotient back. Fortunately Arnav keeps his calm ... leading to maybe one more step forward again tomorrow?

*edit*
Starts with La sending Khushi to get mitti, much against Khushi's wishes - she wanted to stay away from Arnav and the strange feelings he arouses in her. But then off she goes, gets mud, spilling it all over in her hurry to get done with the job, realises it's not enough and goes back again. Meanwhile Arnav sees the mud, "mitti?" ... he probably knows by now that behind every unusual situation in the house these days is usually Khushi. She takes the mitti and runs, stops short on seeing him, mitti in the air and in her eye ... Arnav glaring, Khushi looking back guiltily and winking furiously ... Sanaya looked damn cute and her suit color was gorgeous!

Khush stammers something about La and diyas ... Arnav interrupts -  Can you stop putting your hand in your eye? Not bothered about the mud, just bothered about her eye ...

She stares, winks again, goes to rub her eye again, he grabs her wrist ... Arnav has no hesitation in holding Khushi's hand on any and every occasion ... and he does it with complete authority, as though he has the right to hold her hand ...
She stops, he pulls her and makes her sit, and kneels in front ... I start melting slowly ... awww ...
Khushi tries her other hand, he holds that as well ... 'do I have to give you overtime to make you sit still?' ... his voice affectionate, slightly exasperated, concerned ... Khushi stares back at him, and the current starts sparking ... she leans back, he says nothing, but his eyes are hot, angry ... quietly she comes forward slowly, eyes down and he puts up a hand to hold her eye open and blows gently ... and Khushi stares as though she can't believe what's happening ...

She closes her eyes, and he swallows ... at the gesture that denotes acceptance of his touch, the innocence of the face in front of him, the awareness of the moment ... both are totally caught up in the moment, in the closeness, the awareness pulsating between them, the act of blowing the mud out of her eye more like a lover's caress than anything ... his look fixed to her face as though he can't take his eyes away, her eyes lowered as though she can't bear the heat in his ...
Pulsating, electric ... with the soft strains of 'rabba ve' in the background ...

And as he goes to push her hair away from her face in a soft caress, she opens her eyes ... and they both stare at each other, arrested ... reality returns, they come back to their senses, but both are still affected ...

He sees her wrist still held in his hand, and releases it ... he stands up ... what the hell just happened to him ...?
She can't look at him, face flushed, cheeks burning ... she stands slowly ... what happened to her ...?
Both awkward, conscious, silent ... turn to talk together and fall silent again ... 

Finally she finds her voice ... soft, breathless ... I'm sorry, I ... your pots ... mitti ...
He returns somewhat to normal ... I had planted seeds there ...
She tries to apologise, she'll bring the mud back, he dismisses her worried stammer ... shut up, you can take mud from that other pot ...
She takes the mud, and leaves, wondering how she escaped a shouting again,  what happened to her Laad Governer ... and what happened to her?

Lavanya in the meantime orders mudcake ... all the talk of mud? Mamiji eats mud instead of mudcake ... shape of things to come?
Khushi goes to return the mud, Arnav tying the nimbu mirchi to the tree, all the while talking on his bluetooth, he stares at Khushi ... and Khushi remembers Buaji talking about someone doing black magic on her. So is that what he has done, is that why she feels so strange every time she goes near him?
Ah, now I realise ... Khushi put khuskhus to make his voice hoarse so he would stop reciting mantras!
Arnav coughing, Anjali worried ...
Anjali tells mami she gave Arnav the nimbi mirchi ... Khushi realises he was not doing jadoo tona on her ... apologetic as usual, and takes the kadha for Arnav. Meanwhile, Arnav sees on his lappy that Khushi had mixed something in his juice ... but what? Why? And he's mad ...
Khushi knocks at the door, he drags her in and doesn't say a word ... just shows her the video. And looks at her with an 'I'm waiting for an explanation' look ...
Lots of progress here ... no blowing up, no lecture on aukat, middle class ... just a controlled anger ... what were you up to? And it had better be good ... 

I was apprehensive about the nimbu mirchi and black magic part ... am glad it was wrapped in half an episode and didn't drag. The first half of the episode was electric ... the dust in eye scene.
