28/11 - Epi 130 ... Slow and Steady brings the Change

28th Nov Mon

La insists on buying dress like Khushi's ... aye lo! I though La would do makeover of Khushi, here Khushi is doing makeover of La! Pompoms, gota and all! Nani likes La's dress, La is happy because it's Khushi's style. Anjali is still lost ... ghanti baji, for sure. Khushi is still quiet ...
Arnav lost in memories of Khushi, why do her tears get to him? Wrong flashbacks, Arnav ... now if you had fb's of Diwali night, of the Diwali lights, of taking out mud from her eye, or even of bashing up goons for her, you might understand your feelings better. As it is ... no way. So back to square one ... he won't let her affect him.
*sigh* how many times have you sworn that, Arnav? Losing count here!

Arnav sees La in Khushi style, and loses it ... yet again! That resolve didn't last long at all, did it?! And he lets it out ... here he's trying to forget her, and there his blind fiancee is not helping matters any! And he lets loose again about class ... don't become like Khushi ...
La is upset ... I've just worn a dress like this, everyone likes it, why are you so angry?! Why are you like this?
Because she wore a dress like Khushi's ... she said it herself ...
I am what I am ... go and change.
And for once, La fights back ... maybe with Khushi's style, she got some of Khushi's courage ... no, I won't change ...
He gets angrier and strides off, leaving La in tears, she can't understand him at all, he's even angrier than usual these days, what did she even do?
Khushi is upset ... it's not what La did, it's what she did ... told Arnav he didn't matter ... and now he's taking it out on not only her, but everyone even remotely resembling her ... Oh yes, Khushi knows that he's angry with her about what she said, he's repeated it too many times for her not to know ...

Anjali and Nani have no clue how to handle Arnav, all they can say is, don't take it to heart ... That's why Arnav is the way he is, because no one dared brave his anger and point out where he was wrong. They take La away, and Khushi goes to confront Arnav yet again. Well, someone has to ... and no one else is up to the task, apparently.

Arnav in his room ... did he know Khushi would come? Probably ... she's the only person who can dare tackle him ... he knows he was wrong, he doesn't want to hear it, and she sure as hell is going to tell him ... Get out.
Did he think she would listen? Of course not ... ok, talk, I'm not listening. And he slides the glass door shut again, and waits.
Sure enough, she opens it.
I need to talk to you. This was my fault, don't blame La.
Don't interfere between me and La. Well, he's right to say that, but she knows and he knows it's not about La and him, it's about her and him ... his anger with her.
Do you even know how much the people around you care for you? And how much you hurt them when you talk like this?
His eyes fall ... she sounds more mother than anything ...
But then she makes a mistake, she says the truth ... you're angry with me, don't take out the anger on La ...
How dare she ... how does she know exactly what the problem is?! How dare she read his mind?! So he bursts ... no, I'm not angry with you, don't think you're that important, that it's about you, because you are nothing ...
She listens, she is hurt again, but she's getting used to it now ... she lets him let it all out ...

Cancel the 'not' in everything he's saying, and you get what he really means ... he turns around again, his back to her ... and he waits. Is she still there? She has to be ... she can't leave and go away ...
He turns again ... no, she hasn't. She's there. Hurt at his words, but there.
I know I don't mean anything to you. But I also forgot that Arnav Singh Raizada never apologises. My mistake that I tried to say anything. That I expected more of you.
She slides the door shut, holds his eyes for a moment longer, and leaves.

I loved the way Khushi was calm and composed all through, except for the momentary tears - they weren't really needed, IMO ... the way she knew exactly what the problem was ... well, of course she did, he repeated it often enough ... and the way she gently, yet very firmly told him off. And held his eyes all through.
And I loved Barun's expressions after Khushi left ... the anger is slowly leaving their confrontations ... Arnav knew she was right in what she said, the sulky boy knows that mom was right, for Khushi was more like a mom in this interaction ... calm, firm and then leaving it to Arnav's judgement ... and of course, Arnav had to do the right thing, not just because Khushi said so, but because he knew she was right. and that he had been unfair ... yet again.

So Arnav apologised to La ... and to her. As La hugged him and told him she loved him, he looked straight at Khushi and said "I'm sorry."
Because what she says, does matter ... and maybe this was a reassurance for him? That even though she is engaged, she is still there for him? He hasn't lost her completely yet?

And that bond still unnamed ... but still very much there ... strengthening slowly, imperceptibly with each skirmish, as though every knot strengthens the rope further.

Khushi leaves ... mixed emotions again ... so he listened to her, he even said sorry to La ... and they are together ... well, that's what she wanted, wasn't it?

Mama Mami ... so Mama is back? And Mami fixing Akash's alliance ... Akash decides to take matters into his hands. Interesting that Arnav never told Mama about his engagement ... Anjali did. Arnav seems to have had the same problem as Khushi did.

Khushi talking to Devi Maiyya ... (as I predicted) she's had enough. No more tears. Just last out till Arnav-La's engagement and she's done ... she will forget everything. No more questions, no more answers. (I did think she knew what had happened to her, as did Arnav ... no? cv's? Really? Dragging the realisation still, are we? Or maybe she's hiding from it as much as Arnav is, because she and he are both taken, they don't have the right to think about anyone else, so she won't.)

Akash getting into action now .., mami is as much road roller as Buaji, even though not so heavy-weight, but no less dangerous. So he fixes appointment with Payal for the next day. And it was so nice to see Khushi's smile back, and her teasing Buaji ... maybe it's not Nand Kissore on the line, that's why he's not answering ... and phone baat karne ke liye hota hai! 

So tomorrow Khushi and Arnav accompany their siblings for the date ... this should be fun. Some much needed light hearted moments. And maybe Arnav's attitude will change a little more. Khushi is already changing, the maturity coming in slowly and steadily.

And lo and behold ... Anjali is asking Shyam questions! And even more ... point to be noted, milord ... she doesn't ask him about the ring or mention meeting Motilal ... not yet. Hmmm ...
