1/2 - Epi 178 ... Listen With Your Heart

1st Feb Wed

Listen with your heart, Khushi, he said it all today ...

But she's begging him for the words ... say it just once, say that I matter ...

But he's not a man of words, his actions speak for him ... open up your heart, and don't be scared to trust ...

But she's been hurt too badly before ... many times ...

On the other side, Nani spikes Manorama's guns effectively ... thank God, finally!
And Payal finally remembers that she and her family are hiding an even bigger truth from the Raizadas.

*edited*
Episode starts with Manodrama, with Mami of course not letting anyone talk, Akash and Anjali looking pretty and useless ... liked Payal's accusing glance at him, saying 'you didn't tell her?' ... and telling Mami that the shaadi will not take place, shielding Akash's fault ... Anjali tries also, bringing up her own painful memory, but Mami is unmoved, until Akash clarifies that Payal had told him and then Nani steps in. And reminds Mami of her own past. Good going, Nani!!! About time! 

Arhi ... Good scenes ... starting with Arnav racing after the ambulance, going all 'saansein ruk jayengi' and then racing back to his car, ready to follow that ambulance to kingdom come ... till he hears a familiar voice ... sees Khushi in his rear-view mirror, and literally collapses in relief onto his steering wheel ... and then, raises his head with the anger growing ... how dare she put him through so much agony and be haggling over chanas?! =))

Khushi's reactions as she sees him ... she senses him before she sees him, turns, baffled 'why is he here?' ... a little nervous as he strides towards her and she senses his anger, without understanding why ... and then he grabs her (ah, I was right!) and starts blasting off ... what do you think of yourself, I've been searching for you for so long ... you left your phone at home, NK isn't picking up his phone, you weren't at home, and on the way I found this!' ... holding up her broken bangle, which she looks at, still shell-shocked at his angry outburst ... what happened to him? But slowly, hazily getting the picture ... he was worried? About her? He thought she was hurt?
Mujhe laga ...
and she looks up at his face with a glimmer of hope ... what is he going to say?
But he loses it again ... Do you even know what I'm going through?! angrily, and she flinches again ...
Do you know how worried I was? I thought ... I thought I lost you ... but you ... here ... chan ...
She tries to speak, to say something, ... hum ... but he doesn't let her ... he cups her face ... if you'd been in that ambulance ... what ... what if I'd lost you?! Furious now ...

Did that cupping of her face bring back the memories of Diwali? the worst night of her life? Because something happened right there ... her face lost its softness and became hard ... she shakes off his hands ..
'So what? If it had been me in that accident, so what? What does it matter to you?!'
'Of course it matters, damn it!'
"Why? Why does it matter?" Tell me ... say it ... looking at him with a mixture of anger and anticipation ...
Because ... and he stops ... his face changes ... he actually retreats ... and she continues looking at him, no anger now, just hope ... say it ... please, for once, say it ...

But of course he doesn't ... Barun's expressions were not quite there ... was it realization or not?
Khushi is waiting ... NK arrives and Arnav is deprived of the first outlet for his anger, as Khushi just spiked his guns, he rounds on NK ... 'where were you?'
NK taken aback ... relax ... what happened? Why the anger? And he gives an explanation of what happened, nothing earth-shattering, Arnav just realized he overreacted big time ... on top of which, adding insult to injury, NK brought replacement bangles for Khushi ... Arnav has had enough of NK making moves on his girl!
So NK summarily dispatched, and Khushi had better accompany him. Khushi tries to protest, but he's had enough ... Khushi, being Khushi, shows him what she thinks of his autocratic behaviour by marching off to the car huffily, getting in without waiting for him to open the door, and all but slamming it on his face. First he gets annoyed when she's going with NK, but doesn't do a darn thing about it, then he shows up and starts yelling at her because he thought she'd been in an accident ... well, she hadn't so he should have been happy, right? Why yell? And then he orders her around as though she's his wife ... well, she isn't ... not yet ... and he'd better behave better with her if and when she is ... Khushi Kumari Gupta doesn't take kindly to Arnav's orders. Ask me nicely!

Loved the silent treatment in the car ... so wifely ... and a reversal of the Nainital track ... there he was quiet, and she couldn't stand it ... now she's quiet, she's mad at him for yelling at her for no reason, and she makes it clear ... Arnav, feeling the slightest bit guilty about yelling at her ... after all, it's not her fault she wasn't in an accident :P and didn't know what he went through thinking she was ... so he tries to be calm and civilized about the whole thing ... wear your seatbelt, darling and forget I yelled at you ...
Silence and no reaction ...
Arnav's annoyance rises again ... damn it, talk to me, I'm trying to say sorry here ... 'Khushi, don't ignore me ... listen to me when I talk to you ...'
Still silent, she moves her dupatta and shows him her fastened seat belt ... lol ...

Still silence in the car ... Khushi picks up the bangles NK bought her and starts trying one on ... Arnav smirks with satisfaction, finally something going his way tonight ... NK bought the wrong size, he doesn't even know her correct size ... Khushi retorts, at least he thought of buying them ... and then gasps with pain as the bangle breaks and stabs her ... Arnav sees the wound and brings the car to a screeching halt ... angry again ... are you mad? When it doesn't fit, why are you trying it? What if you cut your vein?
And finally at the end of her tether, she cries back, almost in tears ... so what?!
Tell me so what ... tell me why it matters, tell me that it matters to you ... say it!!! Just once ... say it!!!

He can't say the words, she wants nothing but the words, a commitment in words, because so many times he's hurt her with his words ...

  1. Payash , Nani and Manorama : Also went tian tian phishhhhh....in one episode... what was the point bringing this track now? Aha....to have Payash confess to each other that they will always be truthful to each other. Payal is guilty now. Will Guptas bring Shyam's topic ? I am sure Guptas are gonna talk about it for sure. I am waiting to see what they plan to do.

    Arnav and Khushi:
    Arnav heads back to his car and he sees HER in the mirror.... He breathes a sign of relief and the way he puts his head down on steering was very effective. As usual his sense of relief only lasted for few minutes before he gains back his usual anger as Khushi made him go through something like that in the first place. And she is negotiating with chana guy?

    What If I had lost you? If you were there in the Ambulance? Fark Padta hai Dammit? Kyon ki....and goes back to square one. Arnav seriously lives in huge denial.
    It was interesting how he help Khushi's face. He held like that only once before when his heart took control over brain but ended hurting Khushi so much that he pushed her straight to Shyam saying she meant NOTHING for him. So how does he expects her to reciprocate now? Yeah right, you are concerned but why? Her eyes literally were pleading....dammit for once, complete your sentence....He has always been giving her mixed signals. He flirts now but same guy mentioned umpteen number of time to her that "Na chehara dekhana hain na baat karni hai", "tum apne aap ko itna importance dena band karo", "koi farak nahi padta", "don't even exist".....Khushi might be mast maula but her, self respect is very intact....

    The stare that he gives to Khushi when NK is taking was like "seriously, really, bangles and chana with this guy.....you are impossible Khushi Kumari Gupta"....

    Her silent treatment in the car was good. She was upset. He used car seat belt as means to open a conversation but KKG silently lets him know she has already taken care of it....so stop talking. Arnav gets tad disappointed...awwww.
    Smirk on face....NK doesn't know your bangle size.....she goes like "atleast he is sweet enough to bring bangles for me" and indirectly means " you khadoos, karela oopar se neem chada huva.....you know my kalai measure....after all you held my kalai so many times....you didn't even bother to bring bangles for me or think.." SO WIFEY

    So Payash problem resolved without Kushi and Arnav..no wedding track yet..means romance, flirt, may be acceptance....Nani and Anjali more tadpofy Arnav...Should ne good.

  2. Dia, Deepa,

    I enjoyed and loved the full episode. The drama was still understated compared to the other shows. Very disappointed with akash, expected more from him. Rest were okay. Nani rocked.

    So Guptas have gotten away with hiding 1 truth. Ideally Nani should have ticked them off for not telling them. This time the R family let it go cos they told Akash (v.imp) since he is marrying Payal and it was a secret involving Payal.

    The next time would they be so forgiving? This is a truth involving the R family specifically the only most loved daugther, shouldn't they have told atleast one member.

    And note..Payal can tell Akash, Khushi can tell Arnav, Buaji/Garima could have told Nani..But the G ladies have kept quiet and it is so going to boomerang on them especially Khushi.

    I loved Arnav Khushi scenes. He almost went insane at the thought of losing her and the relief and then anger..Barun was too good.

    Sanaya equally matched him..Her stunned expression what is he doing here and before she can ask him..He starts chewing her head off, making absolutely no sense to her..and slowly she realizes he was concerned for her and the stubborn, Oh yeah, so what? And the silent treatment the BEST Part.

    And Arnav Singh Raizada at the receiving end of it...Hating her silence and loving the fact that she is the only one who can do this and get away with it.

    Dia..Ewww, why did he have to do the vampire thingy? I am sure they will make it hot..but still yaar.

    Oh well, I am sure when he is getting medicines for her, he will see a bangle guy and buy it for her and when she puts it on, she will immediately know.

    Looking forward to tonite.

  4. Deepa, Shwetha,

    Episodes are flowing well now ... I have no complaints! I think the RM drama was basically to kill time while the Arhi scenes were going on ... it didn't do much otherwise. All the drama and resolved by Nani finally putting her foot down? She should have done that ages ago ... Mami has been unbearably rude ever since the rishta started. The only thing I was glad about was that they showed Payal at least thinking about the Shyam fiasco, otherwise it seems everyone in the GH house has developed amnesia about it!

    I LOVED the silent treatment ... ONLY she can do it, and get away with it ... and his apologetic glances ... ab chodo bhi gussa, I was a brute, I freaked out, but I agree it wasn't your fault at all that you weren't in an accident :P
    Loved that little seat belt interaction ...

    Yep, they seem to have forgotten that he was also hurt ... :P

    Okay, the vampire thingy was actually hot ... will write more in today's post ... :)
