[MEMBERSONLY]

[NOCOPY]

Smita,😊

Here is the interpretation to Part 34.

Anamika, sporting an unwilling smile that showed her admiration, had her fill of Ganesh, unnoticed by him, who had his face scrunched up while looking at the photo in hand, with his glasses perched right above his hairline, holding back his wild unruly locks. Anamika walking up to him pulling herself on her toes, kissed his cheeks, pleasantly shocking Ganesh, making him drop the picture on hand and utter, Anamika... Her confident, Hmm.. with a cocked up eyebrow, had him stare at her, loving the naughty smile lurking in her eyes. She was blooming secure in his love and the well-being of her son. Ganesh feeling conscious of being intruded by the staff looked at the door. Koel and others were not given to stand on ceremony in his office space. It had always been quite informal. Anyone could come to him at any time as work dictated.

Seeing his eyes on the door, Anamika with a smile said, that all knew that they were together and nobody would enter. Koel had insistently told her, that she could work in peace with him as she would be on the look out. Ganesh was overjoyed. It looked as though the whole world was showering them with time alone, time to love in peace.

Giving him a friendly punch on his well toned stomach, Anamika pouted that he was a miser! Ganesh was surprised to see Anamika say so, and hooked up his eyebrows. Her complaint that even when she kissed him he was not even reciprocating it and ending with a kanjoos, makhichoos, a miser and a real miser of the nth order!, She teased him. Ganesh was stunned to see the change in her. Now she was extremely free and unguarded, being comfortable with him, she had made it a point to touch him at every opportunity, be it a pat on his back as she passed him, or brushing her arm against him while pouring over work details. She now wanted more from him, than just him touching her face and was even upto teasing him with it. Reminding himself, to be the epitome of self-control as the need of the hour, but to allow her to experiment with her sexuality and her body, Ganesh's murmur of his apology for being delinquent had Anamika chuckle. Leaning forward slowly, giving her time to expect his touch, Ganesh saw that with a smile dancing on her lips she eagerly raise her face expecting a kiss on her cheek. Taking her by surprise he touched her nose with his, eliciting a chuckle from Anamika. Then again, in a surprise move, he rubbed his nose against her cheek and his hard warm lips pressed at the edge of her lips, staking the claim that she was his. Anamika gasped and her lips parted along with her heart racing. Eventhough Ganesh paused, to give her a respite from his attack on her senses, Anamika all eager, clutched his shoulders, her fingers conveying her need for him. But he stayed resolute to give her time to adjust to the feel. Anamika's eyes opened and what he saw made him hitch his breath. Running her fingers up his shoulders and into his hair at the nape, bringing him closer, conveying with her action, that she can't live without him, she made Ganesh put his arms around her waist. Though he was giving her time to withdraw, he conveyed that she was his and he needed her. Her love and trust in him overpowered any fear that tried to lurk in her mind, even the traces of her murky past was not able to cast its shadow. Her squirming closer, had his self-control challenged. Tightening his arms around her waist, he lifted her up to his chest. With her feet dangling in the air, Anamika looped her arms around his neck. She giggled when Ganesh rubbed his warm lips against hers, making him query with a preoccupied, Hhmm...? Her whispered, your stubble, made him promise that he would have it shaven the next time, brought forth a whispered, don't, she liked it. Ganesh with a smile, caught her lips with his.

When Arnav walked into Buaji's house, the door was wide open and was greeted by an empty living room. The TV was playing an old Bollywood song, but Khushi whom his eyes were seeking was nowhere to be seen. The delicious aroma of jalebis wafted through the air bringing on a smile from Arnav. It gave him a clue that his Lucknow Jalebi Rani was engaged in making Jalebis for her sweet meat shop. He entered the kitchen with soft feet. The song from the movie Kudrat was being played on the television, that could be heard in the kitchen too. Yester Year Super Star, Rajesh Khanna was singing to the Dream Girl, Hema Malini, with the crooner being Kishore Kumar to the music of RD Buman set to the lyrics of Majrooh Sultanpuri,

Hamein tumse pyaar kitna, yeh hum nahin jaante

Magar jee nahin sakte, tumhare bina...

I never knew how much I love you

Now I know I cannot live without you...

And Sanka Devi sang along with the crooner, Kishore Kumar, with her love filled eyes on the transluscent, succulent Jalebi at hand.

Hamein tumse pyaar...

how much I love...

Kissing the jalebi she popped it into her mouth! Her antic had Arnav bite back his lip lest he starts to chuckle out. Kishore Kumar's doleful lament,

Humein intezaar kitna, yeh hum nahin jaaante

Magar jee nahin sakte, tumhare bina...

Never knew how much I long for you

Now I know I cannot live without you...

Had Khushi join in crooning whilst turning the jalebis that were bubbling in the pipping hot oil.

Arnav joined in singing,

Tumhein koi aur dekhe, toh jalta he dil

Badi mushkilon se phir sambhalta he dil...

My heart feels jealous when someone looks at you

I convince my heart with great difficulty...

scaring the living daylights out of Khushi, with eyes widening like saucers, jaw slackened, making her drop the slotted spoon into the oil.

Kya kya jatan karte he, tumhe kya pata...

You don't know, how much I have sacrificed for you...

Her squeal, Arnavji..., led him to her in lazy strides and switch off the stove.

Yeh dil bekarar kitna, yeh hum nahin jaante

Magar jee nahin sakte, tumhare bina...

I don't know how much restlessness is my heart

Now I know I cannot live without you...

Holding her gaze with his molten caramel eyes, he stepped closer to her and had her back off to the cooking platform. As Kishore Kumar crooned,

Hamein tumse pyaar kitna yeh hum nahin jaante

Magar jee nahin sakte, tumhare bina...

I never knew how much I love you
Now I know I cannot live without you...

Arnav cupping her face, pressed his eager lips on the sweet lips that had jalebi syrup dripping. While he pulled her into his arms, longing to make her warmth, innocence, and laughter a part of him, his fingers entwined with hers, his engagement ring rubbing against hers. After he had a long and satisfying kiss, leaving it with great reluctance he asked softly, where were the others ? Her whispered, temple, was followed by pulling him closer to her. When he reminded her, with a wide grin at her action, your jalebis? Her answer, they will wait, gave him the satisfaction that he never knew an answer could give.

This update is about how the two couples are rising to the level of one another, equal in score, performance or the like. It is about how the imbalance between them has dwindled.

In a nutshell, it is LEVEL-PEGGING.

When Anamika shocked Ganesh with her kiss, while he was engrossed in his work, he comes to know it was a pre-planned gesture. She and Koel had ensured privacy. Ganesh is made aware of her constant need to touch him at all given opportunity. In this way, she is like Arnav Singh Raizada, who would be happy to have Khushi in his arms all the time. Like ASR, Anamika never lets an opportunity to go free, whenever she gets. Both ASR and Anamika who had held their emotions suppressed, now are making up for the lost years. Both had a cynical view of life and both had risen above the ashes. Both had cared only for their family and to the outside world they were cold, arrogant and ruthless. Only those who were within their circle were privy to their real self to an extent. Their armor was built so strongly that only a force as powerful as Khushi who to the world looked innocent, not worldly-wise and harmlessly eccentric at being soft-heart, was able to penetrate and dismantle. Even Ganesh, who had been by her a long time, had Khushi to thank, for nudging him to vocalize his feelings to Anamika. Once Anamika started to get familiarized with Ganesh touching her, she became an exceptionally fast learner. She touched him at will and also challenged him for not reciprocating. Knowing fully well the risk of treading on thin ice, Ganesh's tentative steps make Anamika want more and she expresses her feelings with actions. She gives him a free rein, but Ganesh's tendency not to take even one wrong step, takes things easy. Seeing, his surprise move of rubbing her nose with his was taken well, he moves towards her cheeks. Seeing that she is still not satisfied, he raises her to his chest. Supporting her with his arms and she plastered on his chest, with her arm looped around his neck, he kisses the edge of her lips but that does not satisfy her. Plunging her fingers into his hair, pulling his head towards her he is given the indication of what she wants, and it was complied by Ganesh with a joyous heart. Now the two are at level, emotionally and Anamika is all set to take it to the next level. Her level of comfort at physical aspect of love, has increased with every passing day and has come to the level of challenging her tutor himself! Now, she is on equal footing with Ganesh emotionally and yearning for his sensual touch and complete each other. When Ganesh says, he would shave the next time, at her giggle for being tickled, her answer is quite interesting. She said, Don't. I like it.It meant she wants him as he is and not a bit changed. So is Ganesh. He loves her as she is.

That is why it is Level-Pegging.

"Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in various ways"

~ Sigmund Freud

When Arnav came to Buaji's house he is greeted by a switched on TV without a soul in vision. But the delicious aroma of jalebis wafting through the air gave him the direction to Lucknow's Jalebi Rani. When he quietly entered the kitchen, it was to see Khushi crooning along with Kishore Kumar's voice coming out of TV about love. She was holding a jalebi and and with eyes full of love was singing, along with the song saying, how much I love, she popped it into her mouth relishing it. Arnav who witnessed it was doubled up with laughter. Suppressing it within himself, when the next line of the song came about, he saw her turning the rest in the wok. When the song came to say about feeling possessive, Arnav joined to sing taking her unaware. We see for the first time, Arnav singing, that too a song of a Bollywood film, that he used look down upon. He used to just tolerate it. Now he has started to sing along with her. He has started to express his emotions through the song. He has started to see that expressing oneself through song or being delighted with Bollywood works is nothing degrading about. He has started to think her tastes are also equal to his. Though Khushi was surprised at first, it puts her in rapturous delight as she loves being wooed, a la Bollwood. Cupping her face taking in the sweetness of her lips, he sates himself as well as her. Now Khushi too is delighted to kiss him as well as be kissed by him. Seeing the silent house he asks, where the others were, he was told at temple and was pulled close by her. With a smile when he asks her, her jalebis he gets a nonchalant, they will wait, in reply. This gave him the satisfaction that he never knew an answer could give. As for the first time she has given precedence to him over everything else. She for the first time covered the distance between them willingly as it was always he who would do so. But this time she has shown that there was nothing more important in her life than him. Even her love for jalebis, come a distant second. She has risen in equal to him. She has displayed her love and longing to be with him. She has showed that she will not waste any opportunity that comes in her way to spend her time with him.

That is why it is Level-Pegging.

"For the two of us, home isn't a place. It is a person. And we are finally home"

~ Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

With both the couples it was time and patience that played an important role along with unconditional love. The imbalance that had existed is being leveled out.

Hence the result is LEVEL-PEGGING.

"Love is made up of three unconditional properties in equal measure:

1. Acceptance

2. Understanding

3. Appreciation

Remove any one of the three and the triangle falls apart. This, by the way, is something highly inadvisable. So, for the love of a triangle, please keep love whole"

That's it from me Hope you enjoy it.
