Episode 89: The curious case of the "dhak dhaks"

The stars make come back on this night, a back drop as important as the RM and the GH to this story, always there telling Arnav and Khushi's story, connecting the two in one way or the other. A serene night, Arnav is sitting outside with Akash and Shyam.

"bhai yeh, Gupta wali file mujhe dedo (bhai, give me the Gupta file)" Shyams ears go up at the mention of "Gupta", interest that the file stays between Arnave and Akaash, since its the both of them destined to join in matrimony with the Gupta sisters.

Anjali brings everyone tea and takes away their work, "we're all togeter after so long, we should all talk"

"Di, jo kaam ki baatein ha, woh hi acchi hai, aur woh hi hum kar rahe hai" he enjoys getting a reaction out of his sister ...Shyam starts talking about the stars and the romance they emote, even Akash joins in "the stars inspire poetry in poets, they force a writer to write love stories and for centuries they promote lovers to fall in love" ...Arnav very much surprised to hear Akash talk like that...both brothers had falling in love, but one was without walls and the other had a way to go...till then the latter deems all of this romantic talk "Silly romantic nonsense" ,


he gets technical about the stars "stars have no life" The conversation takes a life of its own when Shyam's words remind Arnav of Khushi's belief that her parents have become stars.

His mind goes back to that moment she told him about it, while at the same moment, surrounded by her very own stars above her bed, Khushi is also thinking of the same moment, scolding her self for pouring her heart out like that "chalo apne moo par to break nahin laga sakti, kam se kam apen paro par to lagati, unke saamn paagalon ki tarah bhaag ne ki kya zaroorat thi? (ok fine, you couldn't put the breaks on you mouth, but atleast you should've on you feet, why did you run like a crazy person in front of him?)"



so she feels embarrassed for the way she ran away from him today after he caught her performing the "dhak dahk" test...so our girl is growing up, starting to care about how she comes off to her rakshas "pata nahi hamaare baare mein woh kya soch rahe honge...(don't know what he must be thinking about me)"

Eversince that tear emerged unannounced from her eye at the sight of Arnav hugging La, she hadn't been able to get it out of her head, as a result, her sanak became even more severe...first she asks Payal for coconute while holding one in her hand and then she took an empty tray of tea after which she had to talk to Payal about her "Friend"...Shyaam picked upt correctly on her "friend" being Khushi but thought he was the one effecting her in such a way...so he gave her some pointers, a test to see if there is "gadbad." She got a chance to try it first thing that day with her arrival at the RM. She walked into big fight of the missing sacred tulsi plant, Nani is furious at La who is denying her involvement. Nani turns to Khushi for help and just as she is about to intervene, his voice is extra alarming today.
"Yeh kya ho raha hai yahan? koi na koi problem iss ghar mein hoti hi rehti hai, insaan peacefull kaam bhi nahi kar sakta"



dhak dhak dhak dhak dhak dhak...all the other sounds disapear while the heart beat pickeup speed, her chest heaving at he sight of him...while he yells at everone. A big moment though signifying the woman in her trying to peek out while the girl is scared out of her mind and more curiouse than ever. She looks back at him, the source, the lights go dimm in with the spotlight on him, beatitful camara work circling the two, and soft notes set the mood...

she puts her hand on her heart as shyam's words echo in her mind.. "jab bhi woh unke saamne jaati ha unki dil ki dhadkan tez hoti hai kya (whenever she gets close to him, does her heartbeat get faster?)?"



her indescribable look to him draws his attention, he sees through her "heraani (baffelment)" just like he noticed and processed her tears, she can never hide her feelings for him.


"chamkili" a quick jerk from La, end the pretty piano notes back to the harsh lights and back to the fight, but she's still not completely back worried about the new "gadbad" Mr.gadbad is causing now. thought the dhak dhaks have been there for some time, Shyam's words have put the focus on them and sure enough they were there loud and clear

La interrupts again with her own gadbad, about accidentaly putting the plant outside...Khushi comes up with a plan which must involve him as he is on her mind. This scene is close to my heart, its made EPIC by Sanaya and Barun's expressions. The only scene of the whole show my husband has admitted to being his favorite, makes it even more special...b/c he won't even admit to watching it

"Arnavji, why did you put the plant over there?"
a squting Arnve, totally not prepared for this, "maine.."
a wink yes a wink from Khushi

"what the f." Arnav is completely taken back (one of his best "what the"s, only second to the one that slipped out when he found Khushi in her closet)




"What nahi pot, gamla, you put it there no? with your others plants?" La is scared out of her mind, Anjali trying to contain her laughter,and Nani is confused

"Hota hai hota hai...aap abhi yehi khade hai? jaaiye aur jaa kar pot le kar aaiye (it happens, you're still standing here, go and get the pot)" she casually orders Arnav Singh Raizada...


At this point he get a the gist of what she's doing but he doen't like to be ordered "dekho tum zyaada..(look you do try to be too much)" she doesn't let him finish, "you made a mistake, not problem but La is paying for you mistake, and you won't admit to your mistake, kaise insaan hai aap?" then she unleashes a series of adorable winks at him...which i'm sure he enjoyed, thought he has a funny way of showing it.



He couldn't take it anymore...or he was just being his kadav karela(bitter gourd) self "Stop! haan maine hi woh poda ghalati se waha rakh diya"... awww he takes the blame, he doesn't like to lie but her charm left him no choice...and he did it for La ofcourse. The dhak dhaks get louder again as she returns his look with his kind gesture of playing along with her. He walks away but not without his classic palat, like he can also hear her loud heart beats...even if not, he knows something is up with her and has to do with him, the way she looked at him didn't go unnoticed.



Later while she tries to advise La about something, the beats started up warning of his coming closer and before her brain could catchup with her heart, he was near asking Di for his charger, again he looks and notices Khushi's pecular behavior towards him. The beats became so loud, she had to check her ears, Arnav was weirded out but at the same time very curious... who knows, maybe the laptop charger was an excuse to come down and she her reaction to him again. He was looking rather keenly not paying attention to Di.



As if two instances weren't enough proof for Khushi, she decides to perform a test while noone is looking and Laad Governor was reading his newspaper. "Pata to lagana padega Khushi kumaari gupta, akhir gadbad kya ha? (i have to find out what is the deal with the heartbeats)"

Step-by-step she slowely slinks towards him, dhak dhak dhak dhak dhakd, her eyes widen, the result was overwhelmingly not in her favor, his closeness indeed caused the dhadkanein to become tez. She rewinds herself back to where she started, unable to accept that result, she tries again.



She doesn't know that keen Arnav can also feel her, he look up at the window with her reflection. He is puzzled but doesn't say anything just yet, that shaatir dimaag of his wants to see what she's up to...the third time when even his shatir dimaag couldn't figure it out, he stands up and turns around very much startling her "kya kar rahi ho tum? dimaag kharaab ho gaya hai tumhara? (what are you doing? have you gone mad?)" with no answer she just runs away "paaglaon ki tarah (like a crazy person)" and hides behind the wall, but not without looking one more time, he is watching her still, his look only make the dhak dhak louder but she twists it around to suit her ego. "Iska matlab, hamara dil uss laad governor ke paas aane se be tez dhadakta hai aur jab hum unse door jaaten hai, tab bhi tez dhadakta hai" she diagnoses this as "katti takraarien" ...totally ignoring the fact that it only happens when he's around...can you BE in anymore denial Khushi??



Certainly, its' not these "khatti takraarien" driving her mad later on, feeling embarrased for running away from him like a paagal, worried about what he must be thinking of her. What did he think of her sanak (craziness) today?? Well at night under the stars before he was called the most unromantic person in India, what Shyam, Akaash and Anjali missed was that he had already admiring those stars taking in the romance they exuded before anyone else even mentioned them, his lady love was already on his mind



Arnav seemed at peace looking up, i have a feeling he read into her dhak dhaks for him today, not to mention that tear that came out of her like a scream when he was hugging La, on some level, He knows she's falling for him. and despite the fact that his own ego is in his way, he like to know that she is falling for him.

DROOL CORNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!


❤️ the way he stops what he's saying to have a look at his jhalli girl 😳

BTW, I have to share this, when I was watching IPK in Sept 2011, his parents Barsi episode to be precise, my elder sister was visiting me. She watched scene, one of the most intense Arshi scenes I would say, where he inadvertently shares his pain with Khushi, of how he felt after he came back home performing his parents' last rights.."patha hai jaisa lagtha hai..", she immediately said to me "Oh these two look like typical Yaddanapudi hero/ heroine.. no wonder you are hooked".. :)
our own Telugu M &B writer she was!!:)

Horizon, was just reading your post above this. I am sorry for your loss. Hoping you do find a closure soon. It should be there somewhere in the good deeds that you do.
Yeddanapudi Sulochanarani, a name I often heard when I was in school. My mother used to read a lot of novels and YS was among her favourites. I never did, because my reading and writing in Telugu was very slow then. And even if I did, I wouldn't understand those difficult words.

opportunist reader, that's exactly what i am.

i am so sorry to hear about you father. and about your mother. i feel sad to hear he suffered as long as he did, despite his doing the best he could all his life, especially after your mother's early passing away. death is immense and absolute loss. of a whole human being, and all that you thought was alive, could never end. whatever i may or may not have tried or said, the loss remains. and comes back to "touch" you as and when it pleases, at least for me. life loses meaning, then finds meaning again, but now i know all is transient. just perhaps our feelings, they remain, somewhere.

horoizon, seems to me after all these years and the things years bring, just because you are honourable, noble, committed, positive, giving, fair, kind, doesn't mean you'll escape difficulty or "bad" things. the math we do, isn't the math life favours. it does its own thing. yet in the middle of it all somehow that effort of the human being, our striving, our complete commitment to something, that seems to rise above everything. even disease and decay and death. your father took care of two young children who were coping with the loss of their mother, and if i have sensed you at all through your words, he did a wonderful job. that nothing can take away. nothing.

bad luck? no, horizon, not that. i have nothing to prove to you that your "luck" has nothing to do with it, but i'll say it anyway. also here's a super 🤗 for you. crazy and chaotic things blighted our lives, a part will always remain under its effect, but there is something that leaps out and carries on living. even when living feels meaningless. animated. we have saansey and that has its own demands. and then there are the children. 😳

don't feel so bad, dear one.

Thanks you very much for each and very word you have said . It means a lot. Your words certainly comforted me my dear. Thanks a lot for your kindness and 🤗
@Red: So true.
Didn't mean to bother much but just wanted to put into context where my belief system is stemming from.
Thanks much again!

@BD: Tarah, Tarah ki laaf.. how creative like indi said, reminds of many of those utterly creative dialogues of our show!

@Ami, I'm not an achhi bachchi at all.mei to bohot badmash hoon.I know I will not get Barun.😭 My love is unconditional, so i sacrificed my love for my love.😔 I'm not waiting for Mr.Right too. But you know after a broken relationship I realised it's really tough to be in a relationship and when you are in a commitment like marriage it's even tougher.

@arshi and Ami, my mom is desperate to get me married.

@Horizon, thanks dear. does RajKumar like ASR exist in real world?
I'm trying to enjoy my singlehood. But i also know I have to join your club soon..
rehab!😆 don't you think we are already in rehab?

@Indi

no NK. I want someone manly and sexy like ASR
I know married or unmarried we are all floating on the same boat.all characterless women!😆
But I have no problem to give my sexy boy to the beautiful pagal larki.Coz I love her no less.
@Sohara,
Oh my younger pal, you certainly enlightened me today, we certainly are in a Rehab!:)

Ha, ha. I was sort of expecting this reaction. 😆 Can't compare Barun's ASR with anyone. But, just saying that the character would suit Sobhan babu, more than anyone else among the heroes of those times. Oh, by the way, I do like his voice. Hmm.. been awhile since I saw a movie of his. Got to check if the channels have any to offer.

Durga,
Thanks for the solace offered.
Yes, YS certainly belonged to our mother's generation. Some how we ended up listening to music and reading books that belonged to the previous generation and enjoyed it much too.
You don't understand those difficult words??? But you write good poetry in Telugu my dear.. inbestigation karni ki padegi..,,:) just kidding.

@horizon, thanks for liking my "tarah tarah" comment, sohara just inspires me what can i say? hehe

@Sohara and @Horizon...i have to respectfully disagree that we are in rehab, atleast in my case i'm only add fuel to this obsession, but being here with you all lets me know i'm not alone, then i don't feel so bad about the best guilty pleasure in the world!😆 more of a paagakhana than a rehab center 🤣

@Horizon, i'm so sorry to read about your loss back in Oct, to lose your second parent, i can't begin to fathom. One thing i've learned growing up is you can plan and plan and plan but the plan the higher powers above has for us will always win in the end...through all of it trust and faith may be tested to the limits, even lost for a while, and closure may take years. i don't think time heals everything but i'm hoping it puts a damn good band-aid on the wounds. I wish you that closure soon when the time is right. here is also a big 🤗
think about that "bigger plan" @Wiwy's grandmom Sita talked about 😊

@Indi lovely beautiful words for Horizon, thank you!

I'm feeling a pang of pity for all you married women!
I'm so proud of my singlehood!.Uff i can go to Arshi's world whenever I want.
i wish I could put a permanent zip on my mom's mouth, who can't think anything else but my marriage.


🤣 Sohara, darling your tarah tarah ki laugh is making me ROFL! enjoy ur singlehood, but the not so "acchi bachhi's" have just as much fun going to Arshiland 😉 hehe, so your mom has turned into nani/anjali in one going after you to marry?? 😆 I hope you're not waiting around for Mr.Right...i mean Barun b/c may i remind you he is also in the "married" club.😊


tarah tarah ki laugh. 😆. sohara, you bring out the saucy writer in ami, the serial writer, in fact. and while yeah, the question of how to aaa and die upon seeing hotwa does bother the married woman a bit especially when the man in there life is nearby, you see my unmarried hasti hui bacchi, your man is taken. by a jalebi making, gutsy jhalli paagal kudi. so. in a way the man and us, we share the same "taken" status. and we are happy for him where he is, and he is happy for us all hanging on that curtain. but abhi, where's the place for these bachelor ladkiyan... think you should transfer your attention to nk. before buaji nabs him, that is. what say, ami ji?



🤣 "saucy writer?" who? me? hehe won't say no to that compliment! Sohara, I agree with Indi , Nk is a nice bway, he can dance too, you like to dance, match mead in IPK heaven! i can choreograph a song for you guys at the wedding 😃!! Watch out for that buaji, "Hum ho hu do Nandkisore" may just come true!
