3/2 - Epi 180 ... That feeling I get ...

3rd Feb Fri

Satisfaction - that warm fuzzy feeling I get ... when I see you wearing them.
Satisfaction - that warm fuzzy feeling I get ... when I know you did buy them for me.
 
She's learning fast ... when to push his buttons, and more importantly ... when to back off. Is she learning to read him better too?

He's turning slowly ... from ASR to Arnav ... but there's still plenty of ASR left in him ...


The star of the episode today was Anjali ... the sweetly mischievous, ever-alert, ever-smiling Cupid Anjali ... she took almost 8 months to get her tube-light fixed, but now that she has, she's not wasting any time or opportunity :) You rock, Anjali! =D>
But *ahem* ... how did you know that the poolside was their place for trysts? :)


*edited*
That warm, fuzzy feeling started from the first minute of the episode, as an impatient Arnav waited for Khushi to come down ... pacing up and down, looking up at the stairs every few seconds ... and Anjali got into the act right away ;) ... what's the matter, brother mine, you don't want to attend the havan, don't ... I'm not forcing you ... just go rest, whichever way you want ... it's your decision completely, Chotey ... you really don't have to, just for my sake  =)) And a thoroughly annoyed, embarrassed Arnav ... she forces me to attend these damn things all the time, and she picks now to get concerned about my allergy to havans! So a patently false and lame excuse ... "I'll stay here, in case you need anything ..."
Anjali's expression was a delight ... a completely gleeful "oh yeah!" ... am guessing her thoughts were on the lines of "yeah right! In case I need anything!"

And then she comes down, escorted by her sister ... anyone else felt the scene was somewhat like a bride being brought to the marriage pandal where an impatient groom waits for her? And our KKG is one tenacious tigress, she's hiding her hands under her dupatta, and as she passes the waiting Arnav, she makes sure her hands are even more securely out of his view. And love the way they look, look away immediately, look again ... nazarein milana, nazarein churana in full swing ... their expressions are to die for ... hers determined - no, am not going to show you what you want to see ... his exasperated - why won't you let me see?!

He tries to peek again as she sits ... as though she can feel his gaze, her hands go under her dupatta again, and she steals a look ... he immediately looks away ... no, I wasn't looking for that ...:p

And the grandfather of all havans finally comes to an end ... with Khushi's hands still under her dupatta, Arnav still peeking desperately, ... and Shyam notices the inordinate interest that Arnav has in Khushi and he glowers ...x(

Anjali offers Arnav prasad ... he looks at Khushi, who manages to challenge him with that one sideling look ... Arnav accepts challenge with a smirk ... takes the prasad plate from Anjali and offers Khushi prasad ... with Buaji's help, he wins this one :"> ... and he can't hide his complete satisfaction at seeing her wearing his bangles ... a satisfaction that has nothing to do with challenges ... a deep joy inside that she's wearing his gift ... his first public mark on her, to declare she is his ...
And Khushi looks at his smile, sees his delight ... no, it's not about their unspoken challenge this time ... he is really happy she wore them ... really, really happy ... her wearing his bangles made him so happy? And her confusion starts again ... this was not about winning or losing the challenge, was it? Then why is he so happy?

You wore them ...
Does it really mean so much to you? And if so, why?

Loved the exchange of looks there ... could feel Khushi's heart beat speed up again, could see the possessive satisfaction in Arnav's eyes ... as he looked at her wrists with his bangles ... and they looked remarkably like bridal bangles there ... so lost is Arnav that Akash has to repeat his name before he registers it ...

Khushi is not his match for nothing, though ... again her question ... "bangles? you?" Again he brushes aside ... "don't know what you're talking about ..."
But she's determined ... she knows he bought them, she will get him to say so ...

NK definitely seems to have realized something is fishy in Arhi-land, so his bit at acting Cupid ... :) Seems it will take the entire family, including Shyam's nasty tricks, to get these two stubborn lovers together!SO NK the official photographer, gets Khushi into her rightful place right next to Arnav ... and Khushi seizes the opportunity to torment him again with the question that's tormenting her ... "chudiyan ..."
"Haan ... toh?" ... Am not giving an inch here, I don't know anything about them, and I'm sticking to my stand. :P
And all the photographs show Khushi teasing Arnav very deliberately about her bangles =))

Photos over, NK asks Khushi about her new bangles ... yet another opportunity for Khushi to irk a passing Arnav ... and this time, he smirks at her banter with NK ... say what you like, Khushi, you're wearing my bangles and not his ...
Loved that teasing, flirting look over her shoulder that Khushi threw Arnav ... bright, sparkling, mischief in her eyes ... and his warm smirk as he walked off ... even though she's chatting to NK, he is the one in her thoughts ...

Anjali into action again ... she's figured out something fishy about Arnav, Khushi and bangles ... and her tube-light, after flickering dimly for months, is suddenly on full wattage =)) A hilarious nanad-bhabhi duo teasing a fulminating Arnav out of his wits ... with those side looks Anjali kept throwing to check Arnav's reaction and egging Khushi on whole-heartedly ... you don't like them?
No, I don't ...
Then why did you wear them? Just throw them, right?
Yes, that's what I'll do as soon as I get home ...
Yes, sure ... do that ... another sidelong look at by now fuming Arnav ... and Anjali does her master Cupid move ... Khushi, could you please get my thaal from the poolside?
How did Anjali know the poolside if the Arhi meeting point?

And Anjali counts gleefully ... how long will it take you, brother mine ... see, I've set it all up for you ... now go!
And he does ... before she even reaches the count of three ... and Anjali is thrilled to bits ... she can't believe this! =)) =)) =))

Adorable Arhi poolside scene ... teasing and intense by turns ...
Khushi searches for the imaginary thaal ... and sulking Arnav enters ...
"You don't like them, take them off ..." How could you say you didn't like my gift? I got it specially for you ...
For La, and presumably his other girlfriends, he never bothered ... his secretary probably chose the gifts, wraped them, sent them, he didn't even know what they were ... for her, he went himself, chose them, in the right size ... how dare she not like them?
Khushi pushes his buttons again ... why are you so bothered about someone else's gift anyway? And anyway ... sulking in her turn ... fine, don't tell me ... they don't even fit ...
Of course they do ... I bought them, I know they fit! They're a perfect fit ...
Just like you and me ...
How do you know? You haven't ever worn bangles, have you? ... she begins, then stops suddenly ... He doesn't say anything, just stares at her steadily, for once no anger on his face at her impetuous words ... and she reins in her hot temper too ...
Sulkily ... you have to tell me ...
Excuse me? Sarcasm back in full swing ... I'm Arnav Singh Raizada, I don't have to do anything ... and if you think that, you're crazier than usual ...
Sulking still ... why won't he just tell her?
I won the bet ... this is my prize ... you have to tell me ...
Really, Khushi? You had a golden opportunity ... and all you asked for was this? No wonder he's smirking even more ... he got off so lightly and she didn't even realize her wasted opportunity. Khushi darling, you must think before you speak! Especially with Arnav!
Okay, ask ... arms crossed ... mirroring hers ... and she's uncomfortably aware again ...

Did you buy those bangles for me?
Yes, I did buy them for you ...

And she's really taken aback ... he did? He really did? She thought he did, but he just confirmed it ... he really did buy them ... but why?
Without thinking, she asks that.
 But he's not ready to answer that one ... you said one question, I answered it ... deal done.
And his turn to complain and sulk ... and if you don't like them, take them off ... 
And if I do like them ...
Then why the hell did you ...
Because I wanted you to say so!
I just did!
Good thing too!
Then keep wearing them!
In case you haven't noticed, I am wearing them!

And they stop ... what are they even fighting about this time!
Yes, you are wearing them, aren't you ...
I didn't mean that I didn't like them ... I do ...

And they both turn away from each other, both trying to hide what their eyes and their hearts want to say ... to scream out ... and the mood changes suddenly, completely ... a fierce, pulsating awareness creeping in ...
'Why did you buy me those bangles?' ... her tone hushed, almost scared, as though scared of what she might hear, scared of what the answer might be ... the last time she pursued him with questions, she got her heart broken and crushed into a million pieces ... why did you keep my payal? Why did you buy me those bangles ...

He wants to say it ... he really does ... but he can't. Yet neither can he tell her again that she means nothing to him ...
'I don't need to give you an answer to every question ...'
So much of a change ... acknowledging that she has a right to ask him questions, acknowledging that she can even demand answers ... but he's not ready to take that last step ...

And this time, she backs down ... sulking slightly at his refusal, but the fact that he bought her the bangles, that he bought her the bangles is enough for now ...a soft smile on her face as she looks at them again ... his bangles ...
And no loud declarations of how she means nothing to him ... her broken heart is healing slowly, warming again ...
I really want a night scene with Khushi refusing to take those bangles off, or sleeping with them under her pillow ... :">

Arnav bumps into a fulminating shamelessly eavesdropping Snakewa ... will he remember these encounters later? As much as I hate seeing Snakewa, I want Arnav to start witnessing some erratic moments of Shyam, so that later he can put two and two together ...

  1. DIya - Oh, and that warm and fuzzy feeling when I saw them talking at the poolside. Their hearts seems to be crying out to hold each other but of course our Tom and Jerry were at what they do best - knawing at each other. But honestly, I cold feel the love oozing out of my laptop screen in that scene. How do Barun and Sanaya do this ? Kudos to them. Looking for your complete update.

  2. Dia, Completely agree with you, star for me was Anjali aka Daljeet. It is so fantastic to see Anjali minus crying, pooja thal.. Love this naughty and sweet Anajli.

    How I wish we get more such scenes where these two continue to bicker and she indulges them so cutely, awwwww..

    I loved that he wanted to know if she wore the bangles especially when she knows he got it for her.

    I loved it even more that she Knew he would want to know and tried as much as possible to keep them hidden.

    The prasad trick..Ha Ha..I love this ASR with heavy dash of Arnav or is it vice versa. Jo bhi let them ensure we always see this combination rather than a too mushy Aranv or a too angry ASR.

    After that the pool side scene was too damn cute, Don't like it throw them away, What if I like it, Then wear it, I am already wearing it.

    Then the realization..She treasures what he brought for her. He brought something for her cos he treasures her.

    Yet, both wouldn't admit.

    Pehle Aap, Pehle Tum.

    True Lucknowis..these two, lol.

    So snake finally has his double menthos moment regarding Arnav & Khushi..Yikes Didn't want him to find out so soon, wanted more uninterrupted Arhi...Let us see.

    So he does something to Anjali's car.Why was she looking so emotional? What did he sweet talk her into..with all emotional stuff before as far as he is concerned his final goodbye?

    Anyway interesting week ahead, I just wish we got more Arhi till the inevitable happens.

    Waiting for the rest of the post.

    p.s. - I did not watch it yesterday, watched it in the morning on Star plus website, the episode felt even more good minus the ad breaks.

  5. Shwetha, my spam detection is somehow turned on, so all comments get listed as spam till I clear them ... dunno why this suddenly happened! Am trying to sort it out ... still haven't figured out ... I haven't changed any settings, so am as foxed as you!

  6. Tick tick one...tick tick two...

    Anjali was so brilliant today. She really shone through. Loved her teasing Arnav, aiding Khushi and playing the perfect match maker...even her slight 'ishaara' to nani - 'Stall the Gupta's! I've despatched the lovebirds to their spot for some alone time.'
    But her best moment-She knows her brother well enough to know he wont just talk to Khushi, he'll sulk and fume but won't talk-unless of course khushi and he are alone in their special spot-so she promptly arranges a 'bahaana'...Whatever you need chotey;-)

    Arnav and Khushi...Wow!:-)...my two fav parts...when they're taking the photo and khushi is very pointedly shaking HER bangles...love the way arnav rolls his eyes as if saying-'seriously! enough already woman I'm not gonna say it'...
    and the poolside scene of course where he says why the hec did you say you didn't like them! ...ASR came through so well-he's probably never gone to so much trouble for a girl and now when he has she wont just quietly accept his gift but is giving him a hard tme about it!

    On a side note...isn't it strange that raizada mami is making a to-do list one night before the wedding?

    And also an errant thought...they should bring La back...pair her up with NK...Miss kashyap and Mr. NRI...lol

    posted as anonymous yest...didn't know how to add name..lol

  7. Dia....beautifully written...believe me, I read it many times already. Every time I read, I feel like I am seeing a live telecast...

    For me it was a super cute episode and Anjali stole the show.

    Lots of awwwww moments for me in the episode. Anjali whole heartedly welcoming changed Arnav speaks how much she was desperate for her chotey to be just Arnav and She was genuinely happy for him.

    Lukha Chupi Bahut Hui....beween KKG and Arnav was so damn cute. One scene where Arnav quickly turns away and pretends as if he was not looking at her shows his desperation :). Yes, Dia, I too felt he was like an impatient groom waiting for his bride. All those nazarein milana churana just like new bride groom. Any ways, now me thinks, CVs are serving so much of cute and sizzling episodes, soon they are gonna drop all the fans from Himalaya one day...but how and when?

    Arnav giving Prasad to Khushi only...shouldn't all others tubelights start up as well? ASR, giving prasad, it self was odd enough and that too to , only to KKG was super odd. What others were thinking? When Bua tells KKG to take prasad, Arnav has his eyes focused on her only, makes it super hot. The smile Arnav has after he sees, she, HIS KKG, wearing HIS gift , what releif his face shows..I really wonder , does Barun practice different types of smiles?

    Anjali's teasing about bangales, when she says "Khushi ji.....bahut sundar chudiya pehan rakhi hai aapne...", Arnav had sense of pride smile...."yup...I brought them...even my Di approves them.". Khushi setting up Arnav was super cute again, Anjali dispatching love birds to their love destination was well thought out....

    I am sure Nani and Di have confirmed now......when will they strike the conversation with Guptas regarding these two love birds?..At this rate, I do not see confession any time soon. I am very hopeful for 14 Feb..but pata nahi kyon, mujhe lagata hai kuch hoga nahi...?

  8. Sahana, Shwetha ... oh that last Arhi scene was so beautiful ... you could feel the love, the ache there, dying to reach out to each other ... I LOVED the way Arnav followed Khushi to the poolside almost instantly ... why did she say she didn't like the bangles? It was SO important for him that she like them ... and it was SO important for her to confirm beyond doubt that he had bought them for her ...

    Shwetha ... I knowww, I love this teasing, smart Anjali so much better than that pooja-toting dumbo ...
    About Shyam ... I agree, I didn't want him to find out about Arhi for a long time, at least until they were both sure of their feelings ... so it's an okay time, I guess ... they are realizing more and more what they feel. Also, Nani and Anjali also know about Arhi now - that makes it safer :)

    Anjali - don't think anything much will happen - the marriage will go ahead as planned. My question is, what happens after that? How do Arnav and Khushi keep meeting?

    Gargi ... welcome here :)
    Arey, Mami making last minute was just in retaliation for Buaji saying they will have so much work - her one-upmanship again ... can bet she won't be lifting a finger herself! As Anjali said, she's already done everything anyway ... Anjali has, I mean.
    And loved Anjali playing Cupid - that setting up the poolside meeting was too cute ... especially her tik tik one, tik tik two ...
    Haha ... Khushi is sure giving Arnav a hard time with his first gift ... beta, soch lo, this is the shape of things to come! He will never have it too easy with her!

    Deepa, I also think so ... so many ultra-cute scenes, am sure there is a big dhamaka coming up! And I LOVED that prasad giving scene ... Arnav's smile was so meltingly sweet ... he was so delighted to see her wearing his bangles.

    You have a point - what if we will have neither a hate marriage or a separation - what if Nani and Anjali just approach Guptas with the rishta? Then what? With Feb 14th approaching, I think next dhamaka will happen only then or maybe just after .. so let's enjoy the next week of Arhilicious episodes ... don't know when we will get them again!

  9. Hey all*hugs*

    So monday it is with promises of lots of arhi and a possible spoiler about Arnav getting to know About Shyam. Let us hope this week's episode are as good if not better as last week.

    Okay so those of you who have seen the bindi scene - Arnav takes out her bindi which is somehow sticking in her arm, puts it on the mirror and indicates to her what he has done and she puts that bindi back on.

    Now my question is this, from the limited (read serial/films) knowledge of North Indian marriages, isn't there a rasam where the groom puts bindi/sindoor on the bride's forehead? If so, will this mirror bindi scene count as one of the rasams?

    Also I am guessing,either Anjali's car will have a flat tyre or Arnav who is heading for Khushi's home to help out the food arrangements will offer his di lift home?

    The biggest Q of all:

    Assuming there is a proposal, will Khushi say yes to Arnav when she knows Shyam still is lusting after her or would she go the sacrifice way and say no..something about past events etc, how he hurt her blah blah..till Arnav finds out the truth from her?
