14/11 - Epi 119 ... Fighting back

14th Nov Mon

Khushi recovers her equilibrium and her fight. Yes, she has an unexplainable soft corner for Laad Governer ... God knows why, because he leaves no stone unturned to insult and humiliate her at every opportunity. Yes, she even seems to have a death wish or an unrecognised masochistic streak in her - why she can't keep away from him ... or from Raizada House, where she has been humiliated time and again ... but where she has also received so much affection and apnapan ... where a strict matriarch like Nani gives her love and blessings, where a sweet Anjali showers her with affection and gifts, and tries to stand up for her against her khadoos brother and annoying Mami, where a dumb but sweet La can't seem to do without her ... and where HE lives - her Laad Governer, and sometimes her Arnavji ... the man who hates her, yet seems to be there every time she is in trouble, with bitter harsh words, but also with the solution to her problems. He gave her a job when she desperately needed it, he paid her salary promptly when she needed it, he paid the hospital bills when she was running short ... he bashed up a few goons because they pushed her, he took care of her when she was sick, yes, he was the one responsible for her sickness, but his responsibility could have been met by calling a doctor ... and he ran to bandage the smallest of cuts in her finger after telling her he never wanted to see her again.

And again he's back with harsh words ... after saving her from falling ... okay, so he seems to have forgotten everything that happened between them on Diwali, he told her it meant nothing, didn't he? Why is she agonising over it then? If they are back to square one, so be it ... she, Khushi Kumari Gupta is no pushover either! And she is not working there for money, thank you very much, Laad Governer ... she came because Anjali and La wanted her, needed her ... she's doing  them a favour ... so just stuff it!

So I liked Khushi in the first scene ... if he can forget about Diwali, so can she ... if he can be back to his rude self, well, she's not going to take it lying down either ...
Dialogues were much better today in their confrontation ... Khushi fiesty, determined to give it back to him, if only he would let her talk ... as she tells him too ... if you don't want to listen to the answers, why do you ask the questions ... and again you're back to the money?
Anjali intervenes, with more stubbornness and annoyance at her Chotey than ever before, ticks him off, which Khushi being the well brought up girl that she is, doesn't join in ... she will fight all she likes with Arnav in private, but not in front of anyone else ... she respects Anjali too much.
And Arnav is actually taken aback that Khushi is not back for the money this time ... and ashamed ... he did it again, didn't he? Misunderstand her ... wilfully, purposely ... because he needs a reason to stay angry with her, and he's fast running out of them. And I liked Sanaya's expressions as Anjali explained sternly that Khushi was not back this time for a job ... Khushi was defiant, still angry, unforgiving this time ... no, she was not going to cry, she was not hurt, because it's Arnav who hurts her ... Laad Governer only makes her angry and fiesty.

Khushi not back for a job this time accomplished another goal ... she is no longer their employee, neither Anjali's, not Arnav's ... the boot is on the other foot, she is doing them a favour, giving them some of her precious time, which is already overloaded as it is. So along with the money and gold-digger angle, the naukar and aukat crap is also thrown out of the equation.

So what can he fight with her about now? Nothing, really ... it's better that they just don't talk to each other at all. She agrees.
 Somehow that scene touched me ... the way Arnav says stop, I want to talk to you ... and this time Khushi doesn't walk away or even get angry again, she stops, ready to listen. Maybe she's still hoping to hear something she wants to hear, maybe she's hoping to see a glimpse of that Arnavji back ... but again she's disappointed. He says every time they talk, the same thing happens, they end up arguing ... his tone was almost defeated, regretful, as though he knows things are all wrong ... but then he can't stop fighting her, because he has to stay away from her ... so back to harshness - 'we won't talk.'

And that does hurt ... so he's still pushing her away ... well, all right ... she closes her eyes, fighting her  disappointment, then opens them with renewed determination ... she can do that too ... 'fine, we won't talk.'

Anjali, La and Nani wanting Khushi to stay on is a bit illogical and silly ... why, when Arnav has been voicing his disapproval so loudly, when he is so obviously unhappy at having her back, and what is she actually accomplishing?
Anyway, this also did establish one more thing - that Khushi did want to leave RM, she didn't want to come back, Anjali, La and Nani had to twist her arm into agreeing. 
Makes me wonder more and more - how is La going to react?

Hehe ... Shyam losing it now ... why is Khushi still established at RM? He's actually got a point, when Arnav gets so mad to see Khushi, then why keep calling her back? But for the first time, Anjali doesn't give way ... that's Arnav's fault and his problem ... why does everyone (read Arnav and Shyam) have such a problem with Khushi?
Duh, cos they're both in love with her and both trying to hide it *rofl*

Cute scene - Khushi with Barun ;-) and kids ... Chota Package, and she doesn't want another Laad Governer in the making ... one on the face of this earth is enough, thank you very much!

Reporter recalls Lucknow girl falling in Arnav's arms ... bringing back more memories for Arnav ... La comes in just as her engagement is announced and is delighted ... thanks to Chamkili ... Arnav angry again! Why does the whole world conspire to never let him forget her!

Shyam tries to dictate terms to Khushi - she is NOT having it ... Bravo, Khushi!!! Love you!!! She as good as told him she will do what she pleases, and he can stuff it!
Another good thing - she equates him with LG, as far as he knows, Khushi still hates LG, so he backtracks quickly ... but established again ... Khushi-Arnav relationship is completely private between them. Shyam is not going to get any hint either. And in that sense, it's good that Anjali doesn't suspect anything either, because she will blurt it out to her hubby. Which could get dangerous for Khushi.

So Shyam got it from both ends ... Anjali and Khushi ... both are annoyed with him, and he is getting more and more frustrated. Will he make a mistake now? High time!!!

And Khushi was on fire today ... ticked off both Arnav and Shyam for different reasons ... go, girl!!!

Very sweet Payal Khushi scene ... Payal as good as tells Khushi to take her time and not get intimidated by Buaji's browbeating ... methinks Payal does not care over much for Shyam either. And it does establish that Payal will stand by Khushi, no matter what.

So slowly all the different players are taking up their position on the chess board ... defense, offense, attack ... will it be check by Shyam ... and checkmate by Khushi/Arnav?
