Making second post ... just in case people are in the mood for all night party :))
Will be back tomorrow with edit and to read all the posts ... keep going, girls!
And to think there was a time I used to wait for 20 posts a day =))
Posting the edited take for the episode here as well ... finish the 200 comments on the first post before moving here, girls :)
Things MOVED today ... and how!!!
Continuing from the last scene ... Khushi back in her room alone, trying desperately to make sense of that phone call saying that Arnav never reached London, didn't check in at his hotel, didn't even board his flight ...
Typical Khushi ... she always takes time to think ... to sift through the information she has before she makes any decision or arrives at any conclusion (even if it's a crackpot one like Arnav trying to kill her! ... or the reason he married her ... or even whether Shyam could be telling the truth about being henpecked)
So she worries ... how can that be ... she saw him off at the airport herself, his flight was called, how could he disappear from the airport? Did he take the wrong flight by mistake? When he's angry, he makes mistakes ... and he was angry ...
Then she shakes herself ... that's a stupid thought, a flight is not a bus, that one can get on to the wrong one ... then what happened?!
She's so worried, she can't think straight ... she pauses ... should she tell Nani and Anjali? Did she do the right thing by lying to them? But Di will worry ... should she tell her?
On the other hand, Anjali suddenly remembers that her precious baby bro hasn't called her even once since he left, and all along she has been so occupied in consoling and reassuring Khushi that she forgot to do her usual freakout act for Chotey ... sometimes I feel Anjali does this for attention-seeking ... she loved being the wise counsel for Khushi, and now that Khushi is keeping it together, time for Anjali to regain centre-stage by throwing a tantrum! Or else it was just poorly written - after being so calm and cheerful about Arnav's silence, Anjali suddenly cracking up into near hysteria didn't gel ... the worry should have built up slowly ... maybe after Khushi made that unexplained decision not to go to London. This hysteria should have been a reaction to that decision, rather than just out of the blue - felt a little forced.
Khushi is still worrying whether to tell Anjali or not ... she hears Anjali worrying, refusing to take her medicine before she speaks to Chotey ... should she tell Anjali or not? She will freak out even more if she hears ... and Nani reinforces it b saying Anjali shouldn't worry so much in her pregnancy, so it would be best to call Aman and check with him ...
And Khushi galvanized into action ... if Anjali calls Aman, she will find out that Arnav never reached London, Nani just said that in her current state she shouldn't worry, it's not good for her ... so Khushi acts out a pretend call from Arnav ... he's fine, he's rushing for a meeting, he'll call Di later ... complete with bright smiles ...
Anjali leaves, relieved ... and Nani catches Khushi in her lie ... and knows that something is very wrong ...
Masala Mama roaming around at night ... Arnav Bitwa, when you get back, the first thing you need to do is invest in a big foolproof lock for your bedroom ... it's worse than Mumbai Central!
MM overhears the Nani-Khushi conversation ... Khushi confesses her lie to Nani instantly, and the reason ... (Khushi confessed to her lie spoken only to protect Anjali, and Nani understood and forgave her, Nani also saw Khushi's concern for Anjali ... again I feel Nani will be the next person to know Shyam's truth, and will understand Khushi's reason for keeping quiet, and will forgive her and stand by her).
And Nani hears that Arnav is missing, as Khushi tells her the entire story about the phone call, Arnav never boarded his flight ... and Nani panics instantly ... and once again, Khushi is unable to confide her own fears, has to hide them and instead take on the mantle of protector and comforter ... again the strong one in the family, taking Arnav's place in his absence ... reassuring Nani, he could have taken a different flight, he would be busy, maybe he didn't go for the meeting, he's busy somewhere else ... I saw him off at the airport myself, the flight was called and he went in ... and he did message me when he reached ... everything will be all right ...
She's pieced together all the facts, they all make sense, enough for her to reassure Nani, but not enough for her to shake off her own feeling that something is wrong ... but that for later, first she has to hold strong for the family ... because even Nani, the strong matriarch, is cracking and holding on to her for support ...
And Khushi begs Nani not to tell Di ... because Di will be even more upset ... that's why she had lied in the first place ... and Nani understands ...
But Masala Mama and Loudmouth Mami put paid to that plan ... after some light moments with HP and his marriage that wasn't ...
HP's comment ... even I didn't attend my own wedding!
So MM and LM announce at full volume that Arnav hasn't reached London at all ... Anjali overhears and dramatically drops a glass of milk ... and equally dramatically proceeds to get completely hysterical ... very true to Anjali's nature, the last I remember her getting so hysterical was when her mangalsutra broke and Khushi saved it ... the start of this entire 'hide things from hysterical Anjali' track.
So everyone crowds around Anjali as she gives way ... she gasps out 'Chotey didn't reach London ...'
Three shocked faces ... Khushi, Nani ... and Shyam ... and Sham's face showed more consternation than shock ... Khushi and Nani exchange glances, they were trying to hide this from Anjali because they knew she would react this way, who told her?! Shyam in deep thought almost instantly ...
Thoughts:
Why didn't Shyam organise that phone call from Arnav the moment Khushi was on her way to London? Or did he think that it would take her 8 hours to reach there, find out Arnav was missing, ask around and get worried, and true to her nature maybe hide things from the family as long as possible to protect them from worry ... Khushi would find out the truth when she reached London, but he still had a lot of time till that happened ...
But Khushi found out even before she could leave, and true to nature, she did hide it from everyone, so he still sat quietly ... probably warned the guy holding Arnav to be prepared to make that phone call ...
And when the news broke that was the time for the reassuring phone call to be made ... under threat at gun point - don't alarm your family or tell them you're in danger, or else your Di and Khushi will be killed ...
Akash gets into action, the head of the family in Arnav's absence ... look after Di first, that's priority ... leaving Shyam in deep thought ...
Di's room ... everyone crowding around her as usual, fussing, worrying, Anjali blasts Khushi, how could you hide anything about Chotey from me? Unspoken - you don't have the right, I have the right to know everything about him ... a tough call for Khushi, and no answer is right ... am glad Nani is with her on this one, and understands her reasons ...
Akash wonders why Aman didn't call him ... a shot of Shyam's face here ... so is Aman really involved? I thought that was a joke ... hmm ... but Shyam is definitely not playing a lone game here, he has to have an accomplice or a mastermind, I still don't think he could be the mastermind yet ...
But Khushi explains - Aman waited for Arnav the whole day, then called office, no one knew Arnav's whereabouts, that was when he called her ...
Anjali remembers the message from Arnav, Shyam seconds it - yes, he did message that he had reached ... but Anjali wonders belatedly, why didn't Arnav message her even once?
Shyam's face seems to indicate, oops, that was an oversight, I should have done that too ...
Khushi takes over the strong role again, trying to calm an increasingly hysterical Anjali ... Aman just said Arnav didn't attend the meeting, he wasn't on his scheduled flight ... maybe he got delayed, took another flight, reached his hotel late ...
Akash is not convinced ... but Arnav knows his Di, why didn't he let her know ...
Arey, Khushi has been saying this for the last two days, tab toh no one listened to her ...
Akash tries Arnav's phone ... no response ... Anjali weeps, he didn't call me back after my message, boo hoo, he never does that ... boo hoo ... Khushi tries to calm her down again ...
Anjali says we need to call the police, Akash agrees ... Shyam is very perturbed ... and slinks out of the room quietly ...
Khushi is worried ... police? Akash says, it's just as precaution ... and she's quiet ... yes, it's better ...
And the phone rings ... so late at night ...?
Anjali snatches it up ... Chotey?!
And a mixture of relief and scared disbelief on everyone's faces ... Payal, Nani, Akash, Mami, MM ... and Khushi ... is it really him? She needs to hear his voice for herself ...
But everyone else has to have their say first, starting with Anjali ... her usual emotional bursting out ... 'where are you, why didn't you call, don't you know how much we all are worrying ... why didn't you call, why didn't you message even once ...?
And Arnav finally makes his appearance ... disheveled, haggard looking, few words as always ... an apology to his Di for worrying her ... I'm sorry ...
She blasts again ... 'sorry?! Do you even know how worried we all have been here? We were going to call the police!'
A flicker in his eyes at the word 'police' ... did he think of saying Scotland when she said this?
'And why didn't you tell us that you didn't go to London?'
He closes his eyes briefly ... no, she's gone off track again, how he wishes they had called the police ... and he tries to give a hint ... 'I didn't go to London because I came to Scotland instead ...'
(Wonder whether this will be used by the cv's ... it was a good ploy, hope it was deliberate, and not just random ... but only Akash will be able to put this together, not Khushi ...)
He carries on ... 'I had a deal last minute, so I came here ...'
Anjali ... 'Scotland?!'
The whole family is confused ... including Akash ... Scotland?
Arnav closes his eyes and repeats it ... 'yes, I had a deal so I came here to Scotland instead of to London ...'
And finally Anjali gets around to asking ... 'are you all right?'
And he closes his eyes almost in exasperation ... she hasn't understood anything ... and he doesn't dare to say more ... 'yes, Di, I'm fine ...'
'all right ... take care of yourself ...' her last words ... and he swallows ... are those loving words the last time he will hear her voice?
Nani snatches the phone, her turn now to express her relief in scolding ... but he knows the love behind the scolding and mock-anger ... 'How are you, Chotey? This is the last time I forgive your carelessness ... in future, you have to call us regularly ... however busy you are ...'
A brusque 'Ji, nani ...' she's talking about the future, and he doesn't know how much of it he has ...
Manorama takes the phone, her very real affection showing through even through her light-hearted words ... 'what do you do? How did you reach Scotland ...?
'Yes, Mami, that ... it ...'
He knows he doesn't have to say much to her, she won't listen anyway ... she's busy on her own trip as usual ... 'get me something nice from Scotland ...'
The family smiles ... typically Mami ... even Arnav's lips lift in a small smile ... Manorama Mami will never change ...
Payal comforts Khushi ... 'now you know he's all right, at least now smile ...'
She tries, but she's aching to hear his voice once for herself ... waiting patiently for the family to have their say ...
Mami goes on 'and something for Mama also ... and how are you?'
Before he can answer, Akash takes the phone, he knows his mother can go on forever ...
'Bhai ... what's this deal about Scotland, Aman didn't tell me anything ...'
Arnav interrupts brusquely ... no one is getting any hints, and the one person he wants to talk to, whose voice he wants to hear, is probably not even there ... no one is giving her the phone, no one is mentioning her name ...
'Aman doesn't know anything about it, no one knows, I'll tell you when I get back ...'
And his phone time is running out ...
'Listen, I may not be able to stay in touch, the reception isn't good here ... don't tell Di, she'll freak out as usual ...'
Akash looks at a tearful Di and nods understandingly ... and Arnav continues with some hesitation ...
'And look after Di ... and ... K ...Khushi ... ' and his face changes even as he says her name ...
Akash understanding again ... 'of course, I will ... here, speak to Khushi ...'
God bless Akash!
And Arnav's face changes yet again ... she's there ... waiting to talk to him ... the way he was waiting to talk to her?
And Khushi gazes yearningly at the phone, scared, trembling, apprehensive ... waiting, longing ... puts it tremblingly, almost hesitantly to her ear, as though scared what she will hear ... they parted on unhappy terms ... she was begging him to stay, he went away ... he didn't believe her, he said she had lost her last chance ... he spoke to everyone in his family ... will he even talk to her?
And she slowly walks away from the family circle ... leaving them celebrating their relief ... while she waits to hear his voice ... just once ...
Does he sense her presence on the phone? Can he hear her soft breathing as she wait? Or can he just sense that she is there, holding onto the phone fearfully,
Yes, he knows she's there, he can feel her ... and it's even more difficult than he thought to keep his calm in front of her ... with everyone else he could be strong, play cool, because he had to safeguard them ... as he always had ... but when she breaks, he has no defense, no strength left ... because she is his strength ...
And he has to summon all his reserves just to say her name ...
'Khushi ...'
She hears his voice, hears him say her name ... and the dam breaks ... tears flowing freely as she clutches onto the phone as though it's her lifeline ... her one connection to him ... she holds onto it with both hands as though she won't let it go ... she was trying to hold strong for his family, but he is her strength ... when he's not there, how can she be strong ...
And he feels her break down ... he can feel every tear, every sob that she's trying desperately to keep silent ...
'Khushi, I'm fine ... main theek hun ...'
He knows ... that's all she wants to know ...not where he is, why didn't he call, what will he bring for her ... none of that ... just 'aap theek ho?'
But now the dam has broken, she can't stop ... the last three days of waiting, of worrying, of unexplained fears, unspoken nightmares ... the final tension of his unknown whereabouts ... now he's on the phone, she just wants to hold on to him and cry her heart out, cry out all those fears and worries ...
'Please ... mat ro ...'
And he knows ... he knows she's crying ... she was crying when he left her ... begging him to stay and give her a chance ... how he wishes he had listened and stayed back ... because now he doesn't know whether he will get another chance ... and if she doesn't stop crying, he will break completely ...
'Khushi, bas ... stop ...'
She tries, she really does, but the tears don't listen ... unbidden, with a mind of their own, they keep coming ... he's alive, he's there, he's talking to her ...
'Khushi, rona band karo ...' how to make her stop, it's tearing him inside, listening to her silent tears, it's killing him that he left her crying ... the last words he said to her were goodbye ... will those be the last words between them? Will he leave her with his hate ... will she never know what he really felt for her?
The words don't come easily to him ... he struggles ... really struggles to say them ... she always wanted the words, and he was never able to give them to her ... but when death is staring at him down the barrel of a gun, they come ...
'Khushi ... main ... Khushi main ...tum ...'
She holds that phone as if it's her oxygen, her lifeline, her only link to life ...
Jab jo bura kaha, uska koi matlab nahin
jab jo bura kiya, uska koi matlab nahin
iss pyaar mein sahi aur galat ka koi matlab nahin hai ... bas iss cheez ka matlab hai ki main hamesha hamesha tumse ...
And today he completes the sentence ... gives her the words she was asking for ... because he might not have another chance ever ...
'Khushi ... I ... love you.'
And her eyes snap open in shocked disbelief ...
His face is suddenly calm ... he said it ... the words locked inside him for so long, struggling to get out, yet beaten back inside every time by memories of sights seen, words overheard ... but now all that doesn't matter any more ... he loves her ...
And he waits ... for her reply ... whatever it is ...
And Khushi's eyes move from disbelief to barely dawning hope ... as a single tear finds its way out again ...
Precap - yes, he said that staring down the barrel of a gun ... well, that was about the only way Arnav Singh Raizada would ever have said those three words ... when her answer even if it was a deathknell, would only hasten an already certain fate ...
Thoughts :
And those three words will now become Khushi's strength, her determination ... like Savitri, she will hunt her man out from the jaws of death ... she's been given a second chance at life, and she will not lose it.
Making second post ... just in case people are in the mood for all night party :))

She hears his voice, hears him say her name ... and the dam breaks ... tears flowing freely as she clutches onto the phone as though it's her lifeline ... her one connection to him ... she holds onto it with both hands as though she won't let it go ... she was trying to hold strong for his family, but he is her strength ... when he's not there, how can she be strong ...

The words don't come easily to him ... he struggles ... really struggles to say them ... she always wanted the words, and he was never able to give them to her ... but when death is staring at him down the barrel of a gun, they come ...
'Khushi ... main ... Khushi main ...tum ...'
She holds that phone as if it's her oxygen, her lifeline, her only link to life ...
Jab jo bura kaha, uska koi matlab nahin
jab jo bura kiya, uska koi matlab nahin
iss pyaar mein sahi aur galat ka koi matlab nahin hai ... bas iss cheez ka matlab hai ki main hamesha hamesha tumse ...
And today he completes the sentence ... gives her the words she was asking for ... because he might not have another chance ever ...
'Khushi ... I ... love you.'
And her eyes snap open in shocked disbelief ...
His face is suddenly calm ... he said it ... the words locked inside him for so long, struggling to get out, yet beaten back inside every time by memories of sights seen, words overheard ... but now all that doesn't matter any more ... he loves her ...
And he waits ... for her reply ... whatever it is ...
And Khushi's eyes move from disbelief to barely dawning hope ... as a single tear finds its way out again ...
Precap - yes, he said that staring down the barrel of a gun ... well, that was about the only way Arnav Singh Raizada would ever have said those three words ... when her answer even if it was a deathknell, would only hasten an already certain fate ...
Thoughts :
And those three words will now become Khushi's strength, her determination ... like Savitri, she will hunt her man out from the jaws of death ... she's been given a second chance at life, and she will not lose it.
Ha Ha Dia,
ReplyDeleteI remember those days. With SPA and just around the wedding was when we hit 50+ or so comments one day and you had gotten us on at least 20 comemnts before you wake up to edit later :)
The other post was at 156 just now..am sure there will be a few more when I go back
sandy tu soyi nahi? usually this time no one's online.. kya kar rahi he tu?
DeleteJ,

Why this Kolaveri Di?
koi bunch of buffoons meri jeeji ko rulay-ing... bohut chakki peessing!

J,
DeleteHUggs for this..but the chakki peesing :(
loving - errrm yyeaah but then work chakki and family will also chakki bcos i am errm missing thr...!!
yup Sandy its 160 :D
ReplyDeletei remember as a silent reader around ArHi marriage when I would wake up and find 15 or 16 comments ... used to be delighted ... lots of comments to go through ! *rofl*
You know what ... That 'Bas Khushi' was a total haaaayyyyeeee moment.
ReplyDeleteThe fuzzy feeling giving kinds:-)
totally... this is the first time in a long time that we get the feeling that they two belong to each other in that (i'm inside your heart) kind of way... after the marriage, it was all (we are roommates who fight a lot) type. no emotional attachment, even hate..
Deleteafter the first 3 days post marriage , the intensity of the couple was lost.. and in this one week, they regained it..
this weeks TRPs are terrible. hope they give many more promos to pull back the viewership lost in the last 2 months..
the last blow for general viewers was Khushi's suicide attempt ..... and promos should justify track too .... like ILU was completely in sync .....
Deletenew promo again with presence of mama ?! how is that suppose to gain interest?! they need to bring in VLR in promos ... Anji too .... actually should have in last two promos before ILU one.
if TRPs don't hike even on 7 June that would call trouble .... by then IPL will be wrapped and long gone. IPL effected IPK the most because cvs allowed it. they din't even give a try. now they are back to track evaluating the time it will take to deliver the dhamaka as IPL ends.
Sama,
Deleteaudoence will come back this week because BS has made a reappearance. Also now Khushi will search for him (and it is maamiji) as per mishti.
And like today have a feeling when maami figures it out she will discuss it with chandu maama or the actual mamaaji somewhere down the line and that is when anji will know of shyam's ugly face...
Sandy,
DeleteI don't have much hope for this weeks TRP (the one that will be out on 30th).... IPL semis-the final round .... at the most it can maintain itself and not go lower but yes from next week viewers generally will turn back and cvs should have something really good and gripping for next week ... dhamaka episodes all 5 days.
Wow! Lost for words today! So happy! The old ipkknd is back! ~cheng
ReplyDeleteSo are we posting here today – before we even reach 200 on the last post ?
ReplyDeleteSo after the ooohh and aaahh – basically after getting my (our) breath back :
- Liked how all ladies kept asking for a chance to talk to him in order of age/seniority of relationship – very natural. Noticed how Akash (and not the ladies)- gave the phone to ODG – come on KKG – open your eye – Akash is your best chance of having a sensible calm friend – CV you really need to build the bhabi-dewar/jija relationship!
- Liked how Akash reacted – calm – as if to say ‘these women will get hyper for every little thing’ and only when He can’t reach his brother does he get worried!
- Loved that once all had had a chat – they were all together laughing and our dear couple stepped slightly aside – all relationships are imp – but theirs, theirs is a special bond
- Despite all his anger at her and his MU and all that – ODB KNEW she was crying – and crying in earnest – not to fool anyone, so he starts off by saying that he is fine.. so under all those layers of forced anger – he knows she is his and that she loves him too!
- The last part – what can be said – it was perfect! Even better than the precap – the line ‘ I want to say something’ and all of KKG’s hurried sentences were removed and the effect was – Magical!
- What a pair – both can take a bow – perfect shot and actually the editing team can take one too – it was a well executed shot (and so says the sane Mona who has rested a night, not the grinning intoxicated baboon of last night!!)
- Don’t know how they will end the scene – will he say something else or not – in any case – one thing was very clear (from their acting/voice modulation/gulping ;)) – this was not intended as a warning. That it will lead to a warning is obvious but the way he said it – he felt it, meant it – he just had to let her know one last time (just in case it’s a goodbye)
- Dia – have always checked the site for your edits – but today – will be waiting for it with patience – for I know it will be a piece of art and will read it only when I can spare a few moments away from my office people and enjoy the post and the comments – see you later ladies – ps. Have to add – Sandy of all the pen names – I love yours – simple coz it is so true for all of us – Hopelessly Addicted to Arhi !!!! :D :D
Okay, finally watched the epi on big screen. I'm pretty darn sure that Shyam Babua is involved in some way or the other. I would hate for a moron like him to be the mastermind , but it was definitely him who triggered the calls to Khushi and Anjali.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the spoiler says it is not Aman, I have my own thoughts about that piece as well. Khushi completed Akash's statement and declared that it was Aman who called on her mobile on her way to the airport.
Love the CVs style of storytelling, good suspense.
Would love your thoughts ....
no sahana, khushi did not say it was aman who called her.. she said the london office guys waited the day, then called her.
DeleteJaya - Okay, got it. I have to re-watch. Feel like things are moving so fast in IPK land these days, I am falling behind :-)
Deletehey Opti
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday girl.
Sandy,
ReplyDeleteAgree with you the difference between Khushi, Arnav about their last moments.
You know what the beauty here is , his convo starts with a sorry and ends with a ILU.
But when it comes to khushi, I have always said this - it’s always the way he calls her name which what connects them, it’s always her unleash silent tears that is always his undoing,
She knows it’s her Arnavji, he knows its his Khushi away from ego, hate anger and all MU. Although he doles between ASR/Arnav he knows he has to say it, and more than saying it’s the longing or I would say he said it not just because of it would be his last chance , it’s also as a last hope which he clinging to hear her saying the same, " Hum bhi" .
Hence I so want a reaction from Khushi today may be just "Arnavji"---- losing the battle to their dil.
"Mai bhi" will just the cherry on the top, because the shock in which Khushi is I would doubt she would say that.. But you never know !!
Mona,
Tu ne tho meri mooh ki baat cheenli..
exactly
Gargi argee on the fuzzy feeling..
aah the warm fuzzy feeling ... every time someone mentions this I end up either watching the 'Bangles' scene (where ODG makes ODB admit that he got the bangles for her) or reading Dia's update on it :)
Deletei was watching the episode again, and Gargi to update on the Arhi scene, you know what is best part of that scene is she is the only was the only one who says nothing at all... but he understand...
ReplyDeletethe whole family show their love and concern it their own style,
Anji- panic and pleading
Nani's rebuk, mani's demand and Askash's partical concern, he answers to all that is questioned, its only with her he answers the unasked questions, its so magical there, its like as they its best when you say nothing at all..
Sandy this one for you girl..
It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing
The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
Try as they may
They could never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine
The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
What a perfect song! specially the line "you say it best when you say nothing at all". I love it! Aarthi it's fantastic! ~cheng
DeleteAaru,
DeleteHuggs bey for this. Made my day :)
And mere dil se this one...
"Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do, I do it for you"
Twine,
DeleteI was just doodling as for a long time which one to go, Both have been on my list long time - to put for Arhi expect didn't find a right time.. The re -watch just did that, ---- when she says nothing at all,
And him--- Everything I do, I do it for you,
saying ILU and asking Akash to take care of her..
Ok Gals, I am back on earlier post !!
aaru, (swoon) so perfect!
Deletesandy, that song... i was listening to it this morning and thinking of posting it.. then i said "nah, i'm no BJ" and you caught it off the ether!! hope your day turns out fantastic!
Aaru, Sandy, I've been thinking of both those songs too ... Arhipathy at work much?
DeleteAnd sometimes when we touch
Deletethe honesty`s too much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
ps. he also used the magic word (i think for the first time too) - 'please' - he said 'please don't cry' :D :D
ReplyDeleteTrp is so low 2.3 :( SP can axe this show if things doesn't improve
ReplyDeleteGuys lets finish posting on the other post first and then move to this one post 200...? Even I accidently posted here last night...sorry! cuz Dia will edit on that post I suppose and its kinda confusing checking both posts simultaneously...
ReplyDeleteEdited the main post.
ReplyDeleteGirls, finish the first post before moving here please ? I'll paste the edit here as well for reference :)
Dia,
DeleteYou want my take as well as my take on your edit - bahut mushkil hai - i have not even seen this week's epis properly - u know what i mean and writing without that i don't like bcos i end up thinking wrong..
but u know what i am still stuck on those 4 FBs..go figue -brain refuses let it go..
Ab toh voh 4 fb dekhne ka pari ... I will go back to them tonight or tomorrow - depending on how the episode goes tonight ...
Deleteright now, all I'm thinking about is how will Khushi figure out VLR is involved, and how will she save ODB? Getting all sorts of weird scenes in my head of her climbing through a window in the middle of the night ... and my practical brain takes over and thinks, hope she wears dark clothes, preferably jeans, how will she climb in her churidars, her dupatta is sure to get stuck somewhere ... and most importantly ... will they HUG when they meet? Because after that it's a given that she will get hurt ... so our confession gets delayed yet again while Bitwa goes on his RTRW ...
bahut mushkil hai !
Dia,
DeleteWhat if he completes tahty sentence today akin to her telling him that day that she would rather die than have shyam and her name taken in the same breath / sentence?
ASR is mush - fine but did he finally confess cos he feared his life was to end or was the trigger to say it because her life was threatened?
somehow i feel they are a hint as to what is going to happen
Delete1. arnav heads for peetal bartan (mum)
2. gets stuck (kidnapped / missing)
3. guest house (held in a crumbling place) - in the past the first time he had unknowingly exposed khushi to danger. he finds her but she is hurt and to some extent so is she. she has an outburst about what is of value to her.
4. rain hug - post that scene for teh 1st time ever arnav thought about whether he was making a mistake where khushi was concerned. and in rescuing her, he hugged her while she clung onto him.
5. night of havan - khushi gets pierced, her nas is almost cut and it seemed to arnav as if he lost her forever. agar kuch ho jaata toh?
6. mandir bandagment - he thought she was leaving his life forever. and in front of god she had said, there will come a day u will realize that what u have written for urself is what DM has made u write of urself..but on that day i will not be around
7. khushi sits up with a start and the first thing she does is look at her hands (like a bride would) and said sapne main bhi rabba ve...
ok so thats the picture in my head. whaddaya think?
'her life was threatened' ... you mean, he said it because she said she'd rather die than be with Shyam ... and he had figured out it was Shyam alone behind this, wanting both the money and Khushi? I don't know ... that would make it a message to her ... and I got the feeling that he said it just as his own confession ...
DeleteI will wait for the rest of the scene today and then think further.
Also did you see his expression in the precap? Did it seem that he was getting ready to do something? A new determination after talking to Khushi? A new josh? Again, have to wait for the rest of the scene today to judge fully.
Dia,
Delete2 things. one was is the ILU sntence going to be completed in sucha way that khushi is reminded of her dialgue and death being the key word.
her life was threatened - why did arnav go with teh person. whose life was threatened? was he told khushi was in an accident as she left the airport? he would have had to be taken away with as minimal fuss and without calling or alarming anyone correct?
He means the ILU but like in the HR the import of the words to her is diluted bcos of something else he says or does not say.
Delete"her life was threatened"....Sandy...if that had been the thot..don't u think, his demeanour would have been more fidgety,....unless captivity constrains him from showing that...(yes K Khushi ka khyal rakhna was bit of a hint...
DeleteI am inclined to go with that thot...but i feel he would have shown some more vigour if he was in that position....or will that play out today?
Sandy, if it had to involve Khushi as the reason to be provided to Arnav,don't u think, it has to be someone who knows what Khushi means to him...else they would have used Di as the excuse....
DeleteShyaam knows about Arnavs feelings for Khushi .... he was at AR office too just a day before Arnavs departure. Getting details ??! Hurry to get the paper signed .... panicky when Anji mentioned Arnav flight to London ?!?!
DeleteI thot Shyam knows Khushi's feelings for Arnav not the other way round...as far as Shyam is concerned..he thinks Arnav hates that she got together with Shyam to betray his family....have i missed something?
Deletewhat i meant was people who know arnav closely will know he is very close to Di...yes Khushi is is wife and so he must love her..is an assumption by most people but not necessarily by Shyam...
Girls,
ReplyDeleteI thot of U all and our ARHI when i retired to bed last night and then woke up with the same thots today morn....
Was waiting to finish my chores,, before i could hit R&R....
Dia, loved ur edited post.....AS USUAL....U make the magic come alive with ur words...
Sandy, saw all ur posts....beautiful comments...Dil ek mandir was playing on my mind too yesterday....i really wished time stool still for these two...In a way it did..
Aaru, Lovely song for Sandy....
Still catching up the other comments..will be back for my bak bak!!
Thanks, Rekha!
Deletehey did anyone seen spoiler pics posted in IF. Arnav is having Kushi's pom poms in his hand :) And kushi goes to Police station.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2993507
Sandy, regarding your comment on Arnav's expression when he spoke to each member of his family ... I was looking at his reactions to each too. Were they evaluative ... was he trying to get a message across? Or had the kidnapper been very clear - don't try any stunts?
ReplyDeleteThe only two people he could have tried to reach through were Di and Akash - with Di, I felt he did try, repeated Scotland twice ... but with Akash, I didn't get that feeling ... it was more like, don't ask Aman too many questions either - was he warning Akash off asking Aman because he didn't want the alarm raised, knowing that if it was, then someone (Di? Khushi?)would be in danger?
With Nani, his tone when her replied was brusque ... although he listened to her patiently ...
With Mami, he was actually amused, as though saying ... Mami will never change ... and he didn't even try to say anything much ...
With Khushi, it was just all mush ... he was melting completely, her tears would break him, he was holding strong in front of the kidnappers, but hearing her weakness, her breaking down was the hardest for him ... his Di's tears and crying he's so used to that it doesn't even make a difference, he knows it's her love for him, and he accepts it, cloying and smothering though it is ...
but Khushi's tears he can never handle ... and he knew they were for HIM ...
Dia,
DeleteDid you feel he was evaluating whether he could tell that person anything and if yes then what...
The first person he said anything to was Aakash - and yeah don't ask Aman too much and don't tell Di (why because in btoh cases it will reach the ears of Shyam??)
He seemed to debate whether or not to take Khushi's name and then when Aakash said here talk to Khushi - was he momentarily stunned to know she was there.
DId he think she was behind this initially delaying him at the airport and calling someone as if to prove her innocence. Did he think she would have left as she did not come onto he phone and Di never mentioned her at all.
As for what he said to Khushi - will wait till I see the epi today and how that scene is shown to conclude.
He left her while an internal debate raged. He almost turned back to go and give her that 2nd chance to prove herself innocent? and when something happened at teh airport what was his initial reaction?
Sandy,
DeleteMy reply to ur post was on the previous thread...
U meant evaluative in that sense....did not occur to me like that ...but i agree that Arnav's FB's from the point of return to his captivity will be very important...to know his exact state of mind today.
If what u say is correct....that he did think she was behind all this...then his ILU is very poignant....and more that that his plea to ask her to stop crying...
"it was more like, don't ask Aman too many questions either - was he warning Akash off asking Aman because he didn't want the alarm raised, knowing that if it was, then someone (Di? Khushi?)would be in danger? "
DeleteDia Exactly what I felt yesterday and hence asked if that guy was Aman, or was Aman involved, because Akash's question as to why Aman didn't inform him was logical because the London guys should have contacted Aman and in turn Akash- they jumped to khushi was because they couldn't reach both, that is aman not available or he was blocking the calls for Akash. Again a hint to Aman being invloved. There can be only two reasons they couldn't get thru Aman was either he was removed from equation by death or by involving him..
See Dia to kidnap and hold ASR isn't easy, two things which makes ASR is his AR industries and next his family. So who ever has planned this, Has to have a hold in both the place so mostly likely at home by shyam and in office by Aman.
Although I doubt Aman being invloved into this by shyam. think its a bigger conspired than shyam can handle. So still go by third party, and shyam and Aman as middle men,
one more question is --- will Khushi try to get the hint that Bitwa msged that he has reached London, and today he said he was in Scotland, will she pickup it as hint that if he had reached Scotland, why did he say he reached London? Along with the Hint of ILU.?
Ok Aaru....that SMS hint is a big one...
DeleteAlso when Akash asked why did Aman not tell me...see the change in Shyam's exp....
Strengthens the middle men theory....
Kisike expressions itna nahin pada in life.....
Also this pom pom thing....did Khushi have that red pom pom on that day...i thot it was a blue dress on that airport day....kya ho raha hain? I am going mad...
DeleteRekha,
Deletesaw ur reply bey! thats why the final arnav khushi scene i want to see the rest today and those FBs before we I think I can close it in my head in totality.
Correct me if I am wrong, but though Khushi ried calling unlike mehendi this time she did not actually leave any voicemail messages for arnav right? I have not seen it all so am checking. So was Arnav led to believe Khushi's complicity? And is that why it took him that extra minute to drum up the courage to tell aakash to take care of her? (ok need today's epi and those FBs)
Aaru,
I like the thot that both shyam and aman are middle men plugging the 2 avaenues to ASR - he has left home; he has left office. And why was Shyam in office one day before Arnav disappeared - almost as if enjoying the fiefdom he was to inherit?
The ILU is not a hint. as per yday's epi alone he meant it because that is what is in his heart. but whether like HR act he will hid it behind a veil of something we need to see. Also will this be the one thing that triggers Khushi's realization of her feelings?
Tell me about it Rekhs,
Deletewouldn't have waited so much to see and read my hubby's expressions even when I am closely trying to understand him,
what red pom pom???
Deleteshe was wearing that pink purple dress.
i think with red or pink pom poms.
well as far as i remember her dress din't have any pom poms .... when I saw her wearing that dress I was like .... after a long long time she wore something without pom poms.
Deleteor did he take it in his pocket while departing for London ... something of her .... very much possible by OBD. Silly thought but soch ne me kya jata hai!!!
I got confused...she wore that pink-purple dress...i remembered some old promo dress...sorry
DeleteThere is a spoiler pic which has Arnav in captivity holding pink/red pom-pom in his hand..
This might strengthen ur theory of accident/harm to Khushi being the reason for arnav getting kidnapped..but who has the info that she means most to him...Shyam??
She was wearing the pink purple dress, but it had long sleeves, no pompoms.
DeleteI am still wondering why he said Scotland - and he said it first to Di ... was it just a red herring and he picked the first name he remembered? Now he doesn't know that they all know he didn't take the London flight ... Di just asked why he didn't go to London, so he knows they know he's not in London, not necessarily about the flight. But to reach Scotland, he would have to go through Heathrow, so he would be on that flight ... Khushi or Akash should realise that at some point ... or Khushi should just check all the flights to Scotland ... she knows the date and time he left.
Nani and Mami, he didn't even try to pass any message through.
Akash - he told Akash that Aman doesn't know anything, because he didn't want Akash to talk to Aman further about this deal, because there is no deal, and Di would come to know, and so will Shyam ... so again, is that because Aman IS involved? Shyam would need a middleman or an accomplice at the office ... Otherwise where is the problem in raising the alarm through Aman ... he needs to raise the alarm, doesn't he? Unless he's been told that the moment the news is out that he's missing, he dies ...
And I watched it again ... there was a definite change in expression there when Akash said to talk to her ... was he surprised she was still there? Nobody had mentioned her name before that in the conversation, no one told him how worried Khushi had been for him, neither Anjali nor Nani, both of whom love Khushi to bits ...
She didn't leave any voice mail, but she had called hundreds of times ... was he able to see the missed calls when he was given his phone to make his call?
Or had he assumed she is with Shyam and so hadn't called ... or her calls had been deleted like her SMS ... to make him think that way ... so is this then the point where he starts to think that if she's still at RM, and not with Shyam, could he be mistaken in her?
When Anjali had called and left a message for him to call back Khushi, VLR was nowhere around ... she called from Khushi's phone, so Creepwa wouldn't know that Anjali had tried to call Arnav ... he would have assumed that Anjali was comfortable with Arnav missing for 2-3 days because of his mom's bday ... which is why he made that booboo of not organising a message for Di from Arnav ... and it would have been deleted like the other messages from Khushi.
And last random fact ... the calls at the airport - there were two - one was last flight to London ... the second was last call for Mr ASR, please proceed to gate 22 ... not mentioned that the call was for the London flight. And this is a usual announcement - last call for Mr XYZ, passenger on flight ABC to DEF, please report to gate 123.
So still a mystery whether he had planned to go to London or to peetal bartan aka Lucknow. Could have been either.
Phew!!!
seriously... never ever tried deciphering emotions based on facial expressions before.. and that too on the faces of actors!
Deletewaise.. how did aman become an accomplice suddenly????
khushi said "unhoney waited a day, then called office, then called me.." that "unhoney", I took as the london office.. now why are you girls taking that "unhoney" as aman?
and in the next sentence sham said "unhoney khushi ko london jaate message diya tha" about arnav.. so if it means he or they, where did aman land in their midst?
That has to be the reason for him to get him out without any fuss. Infact she wore a dress with no pom-pom that day, she did not even have a purse like yesterday which has pom-pom, so it’s like some proof to him that they get for him to show that they can harm Khushi and his Di?? With Shyam tapkofying every now and then in Arhi’s room would have access to it ekkkkkkks ewww (DDR) need something more strong to rinse that thought!!!
Deleteand yes Rekhs, Shyam thinks that Arnav hates Khushi for being involved with Shyam, this only makes things more clear that its 3rd party, who does not know the equation between Arhi, they would think he loves her because theirs was a eloped marriage..
Rekha, not necessarily Shyam ... anyone who doesn't know the truth of their marriage would assume that they had a love marriage, so she would mean the most to him ... in fact, Shyam would be more likely to use Di ... if he has the brains ...
DeleteIs the pom pom a dhamki to Arnav? That we could get this from her dress from her room, we can get at the woman herself if need be ...
But again, that would prove to him that she is not involved in the kidnapping at least ... and I wonder if he is sure of that ... he was definitely surprised when Akash gave her the phone - so was he expecting her to have gone missing with VLR already? DDR :(((
Hey bhagwan, CID at least finishes in one-two episodes, this mystery is gonna drag for a week or two!!! I will have severe bheja fry!!! Thank god hubby is travelling ... but he's back tomorrow ... what was someone saying about being glad their hubby's trip got extended?! *rofl*
Aaru, you and I wrote exactly the same thing :D
DeleteDia...me too meant the same thing...hehehe...as it is a love marriage..others would use Khushi as excuse not Shyam...is what i thot...
DeleteJaya,
DeleteNever was a man who was never seen as maligned as that Aman boy...he must be thinking...poore din ASR ko sunta hoon,saala mujhe villain bana di aur ek frame mein bhi aane nahin diya...
Actually that "unhoney" is creating confusion...poor Aman...If he turns kidnapper,Shweths dandaaaaaa
Dia, we both have been on the same page of 3rd party right from the start of napping thing,
DeleteShyam does not have brains to think so much ahead, and the goofups with the messages and he not calculating about Anji sending K to london, all shows his lack of planning or lack of coordinating.
and dia hubby is gona be back tomorrow, and with full house next week ,don’t how much I will be able to catch up.. me cry!
Dia Aaru Jaya Sandy Rekha -
Deletei know odb's expression changed when Akash said 'talk to KKG' but i really doubt that was because he was surprised she was there - old MUs aside - he defi. knows she was not part of the kidnapping - if he doubted - even for a fraction of a second, it would just not make sense that he understood she was crying and why she was crying and he would not have confessed.
Dia i like your earlier point - the change in expression was because till then, he could handle it, all relationships and what to say to whom - but here - he wanted to say so much, unsay so much - how could he do that now - she is his strength and her breaking down is a sure shot break down for him too.
Yes Mona i agree with u...in some ways...the crying scene and him asking her to stop would not have been as natural as it looked.....
Deleteso i feel he may not even know who has kidnapped him for now..tho his suspicions may be on TF...
Rekha / Monu
DeleteI get what u r saying and I go with Dia's edit. That is why I say he struggled to tell Aakash abotu her and then he was stunned he was going to get to talk to her.
But uske expressions bhi shift ho rahe the..anyways this matter will remain a bit open ended till they shows us FBs of what happened b/w airport and phone call from captivity.
Aaru, Dia and girls
DeleteThe bodygyuard hears Arnav saying Khsuhi ILU. Messag is passed on that Khushi means something to Arnav, He makes an attempt to escape and he is given a warning - try once again and we will hurt her bad..we can get to her things, we can get to her.
ANd maybe bitwa thinks of TF and realizes ki Khushi is in danger.
Honestly i hope she responds in some way at least....poor guy...he just laid his heart bare and he at least deserves to know how crazily in love she is with him too..
ReplyDeletethough I have a feeling he'll just hang up without hearing what her response is...he doesn't think she reciprocates after all and what more is there to say ...
Awww man...dammit I hope she says something!!!
Seriously sucks to be Arnav...:-(
Gargs,
DeleteI have a feeling it is going to be like the Diwali almost kiss. He will cut the call or the goon will just as Khushi will start to say something or she wud have just after she manages an Arnavji...
SN: maybe NK coming back is a good idea given the whodunit nature of teh show now. after all his new show is all about chhal, sheh or maath - deception and checkmate ROFL
SN2: this is more fun than work ....*ouch!*
Sandy you sure you are at work :P
DeleteAwwwwww Gargi ... there is something very emotional the way you write "Seriously sucks to be Arnav" every time !
*rofl* I was just thinking the same as Sandy ... this show is becoming a whodunit ...
Deleteand I'm sitting and doing research on it ... 'research' - read, watching old episodes ;) now if that isn't 'work' with a capital W, I don't know what is ... lolzzz
Sama, me having the same doubt as you ;) Sandy, are you sure you're at work?
*ROFL*
DeleteCompletely agree Gargi - he deserves it too - and even if he doesn't get to hear anything great 'come home' etc - before the lines get disconnected - even if he hears a part of her statement - an inkling that she was responding - that could be enough to get his spirits recharged with the vigour needed to fight 'mogambo kay bhatejay!'
DeleteWT
DeleteI was working very hard..I was just thinkign about what to write at the back of my head so was destressing here..And when I write there, ArHi ke scenes back of the head main process hote rhte hain
Hai tum ladkiyaan bhi naa...baat karo tohchidhaathe ho nahi karo toh bhi sathaathe ho :P:P
Yes Aaru....
ReplyDeleteOur hubbys are open books anyways....hehehe...
Ok one more thing....
"Yahan reception theek nahin hain"
normally people say connectivity teekh nahin hain...reception was an odd word...is he saying he is not confortable as a hint? for me that was the only hint
ILU was his heartfelt emotion, pure unadulterated...
Sandy...u r right...she did not leave any voicemail message but Anji left one to say she is on her way to London...or didn't she?
ReplyDeleteher ok was deleted....but
In captivity, he has no means to the phone except when the kidnappers decide...so what is the point?
"I can't say evaluative becos i am not sure Arnav has reached that stage in captivity (unless he knows something already) but his expressions were different for each member..
ReplyDeleteWith his sister, he seemed to just wanted to pacify
with his nani, i thot, he did not react much...There is some baggage in that relationship..can't put my finger to it
with Mami, he was almost expecting it (except the chandu scene...there was an odd change in exp)
With Akash, he was all business like
With Khushi...he was at his vulnerable best while trying to be brave.....
Can't say evaluative....unless he is getting life's lessons in captivity......The thing is Arnav does not expect anything from anyone except Khushi...he expects a lot from Khushi.
Poor Sandy...stuck with work...but we will continue to pester
One more thing, i am convinced of is Anji will not forgive Khushi...there will be circumstances created to support her decision..She was not ready to give K the benefit of doubt today, surely she will not give her benefit of doubt when the Shyam matter comes up...if at all it does..."
i wanted to say, KUDOS.. i love this post.. and cannot comment over there.
now what will khushi say?
Dia, rekha, everyione who wants a "me too" ... that wont work.. she 'd never say that..
but a breaking "ar-nav-ji" ... would be sone pe suhaga.
convey the feeling perfectly to his heart..
but dont know if it will happen.
will wait and watch ..
Jaya...tks...
DeleteI am not holding my breath for an ILU from Khushi...but anything that gives him the spirit to fight his kidnappers will do....
Jaya I doubt she will say that, as I said Hum bhi" may be that doesn't even reach Arnav, hence just Arnav ji is more than enough.
Deleteaap thik ho na? Aap ghar aajo jaldi, will give him the spirit to fight, i so want K to say something, and if I dare go by what some spoilers saying Arhi confessing then it has to be something from K for sure ..
Jaya,
Deleteagree with your views on Arnav's reactions to all ...
with Mami, there was an amused tolerance, she made him smile even in such a tense atmosphere with his life at risk ...
Anjali - he continues to be the protector, shield her from all harsh truths of life, don't tell her the truth if he feels she can't take it, yet vulnerable when she tells him to take care of himself, because he knows she loves him a lot, and unconditionally like a mother ... and she will be broken if anything happens to him ...
With Nani ... agree, he was almost brusque, maybe Nani always held him up to scrutiny, there was always a comparison with his dad, a feeling that he might not live up to expectations ... and this time he felt he hadn't ... because Anjali was in danger ...
With Akash - business-like, a handing over of responsibilities ... especially his biggest ones ... Di and Khushi ...
the hesitation before taking Khushi's name ... because he didn't know whether she was still there? Whether her duplicity had been exposed to the others?
Or because he was scared to talk to her ... he knew he could hold strong for all the others, but he might not be able to do that with Khushi ... he had to be normal for all the rest, but he couldn't be normal with Khushi, knowing he might never see her again ... and hearing her cry just made that feeling worse, he couldn't even be there to hold her, comfort her ... and he was breaking as much as she was ... hence that tortured confession ...
I want him to say more tonight, maybe some reference to the HR scene ... so that she connects the dots soon ...
From the spoilers we know she will suspect something's wrong because of the confession ... arey, we predicted that ages ago ;)
I don't expect a 'hum bhi' ... I want a breaking 'aap vapas aa jao, please Arnavji... aap bas vapas aa jao ...'
And I want him to hear it ...
Me too want something in connection with HR.. aap vapas aa jao will be just what he wants hear...
DeleteI am expecting too much and will be disappointed if I don't get any reaction from Khushi !!
dia, those were not my views.. they were rekha's on the other page.. i could not commnet there(200+) so quoted them here. though yes, i agree with them :)
DeleteSaw the spoiler pics (that does not qualify as a sbs so am staying true to my promise :D)
ReplyDelete- seems to me - ODB took the pompom at some point in time - another keeps sake - or of course it could be a threat from MKB
- seems like KKG will go to the police who will say - filling a missing persons report is not possible coz apparently your husband is not missing
- she will also confront VRL
- finally she will look for a PI in the papers
A beautiful song for ARHI from a forgettable movie "seema" starring Kabir Bedi and Simi Garewal,
ReplyDeleteJab bhi yeh dil udaas hota hai
Jaane kaun aas paas hota hai
Aankh mein tairti hain tasveerein
tera chehra tera khayal liye
aaine dekhta hai jab mujhko
ek masoom sa sawaal liye
ek masoom sa sawaal liye
Jab bhi yeh dil udaas hota hai
jaane kaun aas paas hota hai..
Koi vaada nahi kiya lekin
kyon tera intezaar rehta hain
bevajah jab qarar mil jaaye
dil bada beqarar rehta hain
dil bada beqarar rehta hain
I know this song!!! Very nice one ... something like this for the judai song that is apparently soon to come would be really nice ... I want a song before the investigations start.
DeleteAt school today when I saw I had more than 30 posts to read at R&R ... bell rang and I wished my class was late by 15 mins ... felt guilty.
ReplyDeleteYahan toh everyone is praying for their husbands to be late by days !! *Haire NK*
No repentance track for me :D
Sandy, in reply to those fbs' ...
ReplyDelete1. arnav heads for peetal bartan (mum)
2. gets stuck (kidnapped / missing)
3. guest house (held in a crumbling place) - in the past the first time he had unknowingly exposed khushi to danger. he finds her but she is hurt and to some extent so is she. she has an outburst about what is of value to her.
4. rain hug - post that scene for teh 1st time ever arnav thought about whether he was making a mistake where khushi was concerned. and in rescuing her, he hugged her while she clung onto him.
5. night of havan - khushi gets pierced, her nas is almost cut and it seemed to arnav as if he lost her forever. agar kuch ho jaata toh?
6. mandir bandagment - he thought she was leaving his life forever. and in front of god she had said, there will come a day u will realize that what u have written for urself is what DM has made u write of urself..but on that day i will not be around
7. khushi sits up with a start and the first thing she does is look at her hands (like a bride would) and said sapne main bhi rabba ve...
1. That was why I wanted to check the ME again ... was it ever announced Mr ASR for the flight to London - it wasn't. And he told Aman he'd be a day late. So yes, he was probably headed elsewhere ... Lucknow? homage to mum? But NOT penance, not yet ...
2. getting stuck in the peetal bartan ... yes, bang on, went for some purpose, but got stuck/kidnapped.
3. Guest house ... again the analogy is there, he is held in a crumbling warehouse, will she rescue him the way he rescued her, as roles are reversing now?
4. Rain hug ... he put her into danger, then introspected as to whether what he was doing was right ... but here, by getting his signatures, SHE put him into danger, and then rescued him (or will) ... unless you say that by coming to his rescue, she put herself in danger too. Will his introspection start ... or has it already started?
5. and 6. will definitely follow - Khushi getting hurt - 'nas' getting cut, 'tumhe kuch ho jaata toh?' ... I'm almost sure she will get badly hurt rescuing him, and then the words from the temple scene - 'ek din aapko pata chalega ki DM aapka haath pakad ke aapki kismat likh rahi thi, lekin uss din hum nahin honge' ... and he will crawl to DM's temple to beg for her life.
7. is not exactly a fb ... ;) but okay, so when she revives, she finds herself a bride in the true sense i.e his wife in the true sense of the word because he acknowledges his love again ... and this carries us to almost Teej when they should get married again ... unless they carry his RTRW longer and the re-marriage happens around Diwali.
I can see the parallels, but I still want confirmation whether he was actually going to London or to Lucknow the first day ...
D,
ReplyDeleteOk rrey FB and dialogues :)
I told u na it was that whole sequence and the reason it struck me was cos the FBs came out of order of original happening (unlike Holi where here was the sequence for gradual increase in awareness). I was a bit wary cos like u said I wanted to be able to go back and watch right from that terrace scene(no chance yaar bahut panga hai life main)
1. & 2. it is definitely not penance yet. that stuck part came and then i went to see that rain hug scene and after and i realized I should think situation and dialogues and that is why I was telling u from that day.
3. they show guest house FB but if they do a dhaaba guest house combo then she will be attacked when she comes looking for him and he will rush to her rescue and she will get hurt. GH ke baad hi toh arnav heard shyam's name from payal for first time - so will bulb start lighting from this point?
4. so he will have put her in danger by confessing his love to her as she came looking for him on that basis and maybe just maybe before the rescue he sees a shyam khushi confrontation realizing his mistake. khushi tells arnav that she only loves arnav? or maybe just makes it about whether shyam wats her or AR.some cloudiness about how this cud play out
5. and 6. follow maybe cos he goes thr to beg for her life from DM. do repentance lasts from previous point till here is it? he feels unworthy of her and she goes looking for him (like rakhi when she thot of DM ke bade waale mandir for anji?) and then they have THE confession from both ends. Only this time he tells Khushi like he told his Di all that time ago she should never ever leav him and go. And it will be a nice contrast to that pag phere scene when he went looking for her and thot of the mandir.
7. and yes she then finds hrself his wife in the true sense (teej wud be nice) - will they get married or seedhe big C rrey? actually by then I want to see a godhbharaai being organized for anji (nothing less than a wedding but again a festive atmosphere and anji realizes shyams true olours and miscarries. Hysterical at the loss of her baby - there is a contrast that plays out when compared to the Payash wedding when she got the preggers news.
Hmm agar woh London ke specific flight main nahi hai toh I am hoping these are the dungeons of Sheesh Mahal (like Gargi said) and Khushi finds him there. He sees another Shyam Khushi confrontation as he is makign his escape - same people, same situation but a different perception.
Get the feeling that RTRW will not be too long. Should start about layer part of June and last just about the time it takes Sanaya to find her feet in NB. Have a feeling they scrapped his long RTR because he needed to go on leave so they show a separation but then he confesses his love to her. And then she is hurt and again they have a separation. So kidnapping plus her hurt = separaion. Abhi usne love confess kiya toh Khushi will not walk out of the house I feel. Rather taht may come when Anji comes to know the truth and she will ask Khushi to leave but this time Arnav will also leave with her and I may hopefully get that Arnav Anji relationship under scrutiny.
Another thought is for now he is locked up in that guest room shyamu tored the cradle in and makes his escape with all of teh above happening. realizing his misperception, he comes to know from guptas the magnitude of the entire truth and goes to lucknow to keep a mannt for her and then somehow she lands up tehre too and THE ARHI onfession happens
P.S: I have been typin as I think. SO if there are loopholes be gentle please :)
