episode 218
he was about to turn away and leave. she said, no... don't go. they had just spent their first night together sleeping next too each other. that mangalsutra caught in his button, that moment when he turned and looked at it and paused, as if reluctant to leave but he must... etched in my mind. her little frown, feeling the tug... a natural perfect moment. two people belonging together in it.
she was not letting him go... he didn't want to go.
we'd started in darkness but when the sun rose a sight that brought peace...
you just wanted to sit and watch and not say a word, in case they woke up. asr and khushi lay next to each other on the chaise longue, fast asleep. how comfortably he snuggled against her and how naturally she lifted her chin to make space for his head. his body and hers melded, contours flowing into each other. a creative's remark about how they were like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that fitted perfectly came to mind. there was an innocence and an excitement in the visual. and a sense of rightness. this is how they should be, beside each other, sleeping without rancour, comfortably close. snuggling just the way they are.
the entire situation had come about in the most strange way, the way they had made it to the chaise longue, their bed for the night, was child like and full of that competitive asr khushi thing. through the night he'd gone around the narrow space, trying to get a comfortable position, balancing and grabbing onto his piece of chaise longue; as she had slept in a corner, oblivious to her circling satellite.
in the middle of that, he'd managed to reach up and hold her head as he saw her sliding off precariously. such a natural scene. and so obviously a look into asr's state of heart. can't hate her, even if he wants to... his instincts won't allow it. that tucking his hand under her cheek to keep her head from dangling uncomfortably, a lovely sequence, alive with his love, his need.
nice direction and camera work. i loved the top shot of the two as the sun came up.
he woke up first and realised what had happened. her face was inches away from his and he had to stare, take the sight in, looked as if he was surprised and then he couldn't look away, he wanted her so... just then... he had to steal a few minutes simply looking at her, receiving into him what he could of her.
his hand came up again to hold her head, settle her in... he could not stay away. as she slept maybe he could let the tenderness through.
beautiful shots. i watch, my heart thudding and slowing to the rabba vey pace...
then she woke up and that surprise, followed by a murmurous emotion. the day sought something...right here... stay, it seemed to say, don't move.
lyrical really this silent set piece. asr and khushi on a chaise longue waking up next to each other after sleeping together for the first time.
a tender misty air, tremulous, precious... and a hunger in it. well, this may not be di's idea of honeymoon, but it was beautiful and moving... and of course, since it was khushi and asr by sanaya and barun, there was plenty cool in it.
even as story jumped about a little disjointed, their love story never lost track. there was always a note of something stark and real about them. this is how, you could believe people got attracted, fell in love, made mistakes, made amends, fell deeper and deeper in love and a relationship got built.
necessity is really the mother of many splendid things. that wedding had been forced on the story. and yet, because of all sorts of things, they could not be shown to be together... so creatives had to work hard to come up with scenes of asr khushi rabba vey. i have no idea who came up with this part of the story, but showing them sleeping together that too on the chaise longue, was a wonderful idea. the bed might have been considered too much of a jump in their current acrimonious state... and somehow they looked just perfect on that sloping couch, so much a part of asr's life.
i enjoyed the fact that neither was in too much of ahurry to get back to reality. the little tussle over the mangalsutra very pretty. again and again things belonging to her call out to him. and he must listen. the man who had ripped her dori, torn her dupatta, let her go from a higher floor... is yet to realise that resistance is futile. he is caught in that mangalsutra knot and getting out of it is not possible.
i am not much into the shameless use of signs of marriage, considered sacred by many, to tell a story of love... trying to get into and manipulate the emotional under layer of the audience. and even if they were not married and it was an ordinary chain that had held him back, i'd find it equally beautiful. for asr and khushi paint for me a love story that really is not bound by the norms of rigid custom and society.
they reach and elevate the idea of love beyond all that.
that mangalsutra... months ago, it had been her dupatta, a white untouched one that had trailed and lingered on the contours of his face, making him turn, eyes searching. that time he couldn't see her... this time, there she was... there she was....
...
some scenes from the night before they slept off... i liked kkgsr's gleeful, how could the mosquitoes bite you, they only drink sweet blood. i completely fell for his tenderness toward his hater on their sleeping place.
now he can't talk... and a little more of look look how well khushi gets asr will be unleashed upon us... as if such an obvious ploy was needed to establish that. i liked her exasperated dialogue though... tell me what other "takniki kharabi" you have, bimari of sugar, allergy to agarbatti, and what else...
how could he say, helpless against the assault of one number khushi kumari gupta now singh raizada.

Epi 209
~Heart To Heart~
"Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." ~unknown~
Heart and inner eye shows you a path but mind always brings delusional path in between your choice.That happened on that dreadful night when Shyam came in between Arnav and Khushi but destiny is determined otherwise.Today Khushi and Arnav has red gulal on their cheeks while evil is still trying his mind games to bring a rift in between em by applying green and red both on his cheeks.He did get success in blurring Khushi's vision but not her heart "aap bure insaan ho" which always beats for one man who is always there to protect his Love...This scene has a deep significance as Arnav is always protecting her since from the beginning from this evil...
Two pure souls are seeking each others' heart today and Slither's moves act as a catalyst each time to speed up their heartbeat.Khushi is a DeviMaiya's child and she has to pure her from this evil taint and dirt today because when he was planning in front of DM's Diya , her fire was taking an oath to put him so down today...
Kushi who has been tarnished by his filthy hands and the dirt in her eyes and seeks for water to clean it.She finds the one with roses , Arnav's Mom and her blessings along with DM who wants her children to be with each other by erasing all the harshness and soft petals heren are reinvigorating those feelings and emotions which were just becoming the dream of yesterday.She is having a moment to herself after seeing her Love,Arnavji's smile seeing her smile in the crowd and that is reeling all the moments again in front of her which she does't want to remember any more."Bhulana chahte hain par bhula nahin pate" is the one which is a question for her.Those emotions are troubling her heart again, a heart which beats for the man who had crushed her dreams brutally.
Thinkable POINT:Arnav and Khsuhi both have same color on their cheeks"RED" which she mentioned to Shyam by herself "jaise bhi huwein , bas dhakanain ek ho gayein" [Heartbeats become one] and that is where Shyam comes with two colors on his cheeks green and red, he also found that both , Arnav and Khushi are not one physically yet and that MU makes him plunge after kidnpping because Khushi asked Arnav if u will see in my eyes , u know I am telling the truth...A ...SLAP on his face and out of RM...
Khushi standing under the gazebo thinking about her love , her heart,"Arnavji" after clearing momentarily delusion thoughts created by evil to see clearly but evil always helped brewing up the hidden desires. Her heart took her message to the one who is standing right here after not finding her in the Holi crowd and calls her name with concerns"Khushi!!!"
PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS:That was the day when Arnav came to know that Khushi is just like him, an orphan and she has no one blood relation in this world like he has, his Di. When Arnav went to apologize to Khushi it was under the open sky, under the star and in a gazebo, where Khushi for the first time had shared her fears, sorrows, pains with Arnav; that was the day she poured her heart out to a person who even a moment back didn't even care to value her presence; It was that day the two hearts have connected with each other for the first time. It was that day the Mother Nature witnessed the beginning of their journey in the night, with the pain, in darkness and in sorrow as that day was his Parents' Death Anniversary, a sad day.
That Arnav stopped Khushi from leaving and today Khushi stopped Arnav from leaving.
Arnav finds her and it puzzles her seeing her like this alone and disconnected to the others.He sees her in distress and moves forward to soothe her but she turns away.Still some evil dust particles are distracting her from a clear vision towards her love and life.
She is hastily trying to clear her vision but Arnav turns her around to face him.He blows away the dust of unclear thoughts to clear her judgment so she can see it properly.That helps Khushi to regain her blurred vision that had been designed by Shyam's dirty minds and which is fogging her ways to the reality but it is clearing by Arnav by himself today.All the misconceptions are getting cleared by him ,by his gentle acts.His gentle touch is taking her back to Diwali when she was having dust in her eyes and Arnav cleared it and that day he followed that dust to reach her.The soothing touch of him which she thought she had lost and deviated from her is caressing her visage again.Today Arnav is bringing her back to the same path which he followed on the dust particles to her on Diwali .Arnav thinks she has lost her path to him and she thinks the same for herself but today both are making path towards each other in this colorful dust around em by removing the evil within. Khushi gets overwhelmed again by these emotions which are empowering her with the confused notions once again.She removes his hand by pushing it away from her.Arnav gets dejected by this rejection of hers and swallowed his pain for the Lady Love who means world to him but loves someone else according him. But there are certain desires you can't escape from and this is one of them as he can't stop loving her no matter what. Arnav starts moving away from her by commanding her wish but halt by surprise finding out that that the hand which she had brushed off is in her clutch to make him stop moving away from her.
Arnav stops and turns around to her with quizzical eyes without uttering a word.He is calm and content in her hold as he aspires for years and Khushi does not disappoint him in his aspiration today.She comes closer to him gently cups his face. A face of an innocent man who has been betrayed by swaying emotions by his own and has a cloak of stone after dealing with each hit of the storm till now as nothing could break him but this one storm which is cracking the shell of this stone in pieces day by day.This one storm has shattered the infrastructure 0f his faith one more time beyond repair.
Arnav looks at her nonplussed but doesn't say anything while Khushi bares her heart again with all the innocence of the world within "Arnavji hum aapse Khuch poochna chate hain"[I want to ask you something.] She grabs his hand and brings it closer to her heart and seeks to know, trusting him despite having it crushed once before "aisa Kyuon hota hai, aap jab bhi humare paas atey hain humari dhakan tez ho jati hai..humne samjhne ki bohat koshish ki ...bhoolna chate hain par bhula nahin pate"...[ why myheart begins to race in your vicinity ]...
Arnav gets perplexed by her simple yet question filled with heaping emotions. He was looking something elusive and hoping may be there is a residue of softness in her heart for him and he gets blown out by this one act of Khushi,like his shattering world got some faith back in it.Khushi's soft yet lovable act to this man who was looking for a ray of hope and got fluorescent light in his dark life, makes him overwhelmed by her faith in him.It moved his heart which tears upas words cannot compensate what he wants to say.Then a small smile of gratitude , of happiness ...as he accepts and can't deny that how much she means to him..Barun was brilliant.Today Arnav's world is opened to vistas of colors by one question of her and by finding the truth that her hearts only beats for him his eyes just brim with emotions .Arnav who was desolated and pushed back to his barren colorless life is seeing a light by the end of this road after so many days. He gets stumbled in his own actions by this selfless and loving girl who still loves him in spite of the innumerable hurts he had given her.He caresses that loving and admiring face as his words are flowing through his eyes.His love for her is ready to consume both and both can see and feel it to the depth of their heart.A single tear making its way from the heart, The frozen heart thawing enough for a tear to form in eyes after that dreadful night when he cried for his sister . The cold heart has been touched again by the warmth of her love and he pauses to give her the answer with the same warmth but she passes out putting all of her trust in his arms by bringing him from his apathy. Arnav smiles in gentle wonder holding her leaning body on him , assuring her trust on him. He lifts her and carries her by crossing all the barriers with content and happiness to his heart which her love has emerged in him.
PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS: Today one loop is closing which opened on guest house night when he was holding this ethereal ,petite Lady Love in his arms and caressing her visage with quizzical eyes and conflicting emotions .The questions which were hanging in them from that night till now are clear now.Today he has a clear vision.he loves her more than anything in this world ,she feels safe in his tenderness and protective visage.He feels to protect her from ll the evil of the world.He couldn't bear her locks irritating her then and this urge still remained same.The questions which arise that night got answers today.
On Diwali night, Arnav had made Khushi sat on the lounge chair and put the Payal on Khushi by kneeling down to give her respect and opened his heart for the first time and this day also he made her lie on the same lounge chair by the pool and kneeled down by her side and opened his heart out.
He brings her to their Eternal Heaven a place which is a witness of their love more than anyone.Arnav places her on the recliner and covers her from all the storms of this world.He clears her face from the colors in such a gentle care that even air can bruise her but not his touch.He is so concentrated taking care of her petite form with his muscular one that if this is the only thing he ever wants to do.He removes her locks from her face as he can't stand any hurdle in her way or in his way reaching her.
Khushi responds to his warmth and stirs awake at his touch.She opens her eyes, and looks into his softened , concerned and perturbed gaze. It seems like time got frozen in Khushi's mind and she continues where she left off "Arnavji aapne humare sawal ka jawab nahin diya".[Arnavji ,u didn't give mw answer of my question]...She is eager to know the reason , his answer. Arnav promises to give her one by softly holding her cheek"main batata hoon aisa kyuon hota hai..",[I tell u why it happens]... Arnav leans forward and holds her hand, glides it to his heart , where his own striding heart beat is mingling some message to help him to deliver her what she wants to hear...hey hey mingles it's beat in the BG ...He tells her"jub tum mere paas hoti ho tou tumhari Dhakano ke saath saath mere dil ki dhakan bhi taiz ho jati hai... humari dhakanain eik ho jati hain ...jo tum mehsoos karti ho who main mehsoos karta hoon... ..."
Translation: When u are near me , my heartbeat goes faster in ur vicinity too , That's what u feel , I feel because ur hearts become one...]
Khushi's eyes brim hearing this confession of him as she understands that it is not only her who has these feelings , these are mutual .She repeats herself for assurance and he completes it for her "humari Dhakanain..." Eik ho jati hain..." Both look into each other and share this joy of acceptance of feelings with soft yet content smile,The reason and discovery of intensifying of their Heart beats and their love ...along with Rabba Ve...
I loved , loved the journey of them through fb's by the poolside ,...Their concentration of eyes at each other sharing those moments. The first Fb starts with them at Dargah ...Both not interested ,stranger to each other... , The second one is when she hits his car meaning their life starts crossing each other and that day she made a dent on his head by stirring unknown emotions in him which made him angry each day,next is the photoshoot...where the anger and rage changes to uncontrollable attraction and admiration,.The last rain scene..when she has become a vital part of him that he can risk his own life to save hers...She means everything to him yet to be acknowledged "mujhe kissi ladki se koi Fadak nahin padta...",
On the contrary , the game has begun as Shyam indeed has found their secret of living separate under one roof with the help of Anjali and Anjali's "Sab ka Nasha jo utarna hai..." in indicating future...
