Deceiving matters...

"Never attempt to win by force what can be won by deception.  Niccol Machiavelli

Red eyes, crying soul, mourning face has entered with one mission...winning hearts again but will it be that easy? The only thing Arnav made let him walk on his feet with his family is his sister, his di who cupped his cheek saying'You have given me my life"

She is clearly blind here by all, I guess but I won't say she is not in her senses. She knows what she is doing and demanding. Put right and wrong just aside...

When Anjali retreats back to her room with her husband and the family follows them too. When Mamiji asks her to eat her words are surprising, "Whatever you want me to eat I will..." ...Sounds alarming to me. To be very honest, a normal person can't live in a place like AR, sorry folks, it is impossible to live at such a place where people act and behave like these as nothing happened...

Anjali is now eating and the family watches on as Shyam feeds her.  Shyam tells the family that he has not only come here to take care of Anjali but to also ask for everyone's forgiveness too.  As he tries to ask for their forgiveness, NK interrupts him telling him not to put on an act, but he too is quickly shut down by a happy Dadi.  The family showed a clear annoyance and then leaves the room to let Anjali rest and Dadi states that, for once, Khushi did something right. Love Nani here... Shyam tells the family that he has to make things right and talk to Arnav.

"It was a mistake," you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you. 
 David Levithan

The other side, The scene which made me fall for IPK once again is the effing character of ASR...He is back, yes! His justifiable anger felt true to its nature but at the same time, the range of expressions by Khushi was also making it believable that these two together make this IPK a hallmark for a reason.

The moment the family had left the room, he turned and cut her sentence and grabbed her wrist...Dragging her up the steps being rough and furious.His violently holding her hand and dragging her can be taken wrong as many did for the first time yet if you are in a relationship and if true partners trust each other like none then it doesn't feel that way. Here ASR is hurt beyond repair by his own love who seems to be deceiving here...His Khushi brought the man who he hates the most and declares who will do such an act will be his enemy.

Arnav is angry at Khushi and asks her, how you dare she bring Shyam back to HIS house? Khushi tells him to listen to her but Arnav goes on.. and says, "khushi, koi aur agar yeh karta toh main sah leta... lekin... tum?!"

This one dialogue had me...as he is clearly stating if someone else had done this then I would understand, but you? You know very well that I hate that man.

 Khushi says, "I know and that's why I tried to call you but your line was busy. Arnav says, and then you took the decision by yourself? 

Khushi says, just for Di.. 

Arnav says, she is my sister, I can make decisions for her. what's good and what's bad for Di... I know that very well. As long as Shyam stays near her, she won't be fine. 

Khushi says, Di will get fine and it's only possible when her husband stays with her. She tells him, maybe you didn't notice.. before Shyam came, Di wasn't even able to move and everyone was thinking something might happen with Di' Arnav says, so you brought him back to this house? In my house? Even after me saying that whoever brings him back will be my enemy. 

Here me out, he is absolutely right to be angry as he stood beside Khushi without proofs for throwing this man out.Just a day before when Khushi was asking him to think about bringing Shyam back he made it clear no.Why? what were his flashbacks when he threw that vase? He was remembering one thing from Shyam," Rani Sahiba is in between me and Khushi..."

Yes, Shyam was back to get what he wants...Khushi and Arnav know that and he is absolutely 100% right understanding Shyam and his deeds.He is a reflection of his dreadful past, a reminder of his father who destroyed their family.

Khushi tells him not to say like this... She says, I just did it for Di... 

Oh I love this when he surged towards her and she steps back with fear, reminding us all many other times they had this fight...

If anyone noticed here, she mentioned di many times like she is assuring him or herself that this was the right thing to do...but think for a while. Did she do it for his di? 

I know her action bringing Shyam back is wrong, as I already mentioned many times but if she brought him in, is this for di only..??? Let's go back the night he yells at her that "Kash main tum se mila na hota Khushi" [ I wish I would never have met you...' He blamed Khushi for everything that happened to Anjali that night...and what was Khushi's answer when he was trying to stop her...

"Will you live happily if di is sad..." [agar di udaas hai to kya aap khush reh payengey?]

A million dollars question, right as he had no answer for that.Here Khushi is not telling him the truth, wants him to see through her act as he always said to her that 'zaroori nahin ke tumahre har sawal ka jawab diya jaye..."

"A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies. 
 Alfred Tennyson

Because Khushi knows Arnav can do anything and can go any length for his di's happiness.Didn't he marry her just for the sake of his di. Does she need any other proof ? Time to time he did everything for the sake of his di and Khushi witnessed that and heard from his own mouth..."I am doing this just for di.."

The problem here is Khushi couldn't say that I know you won't be at rest if your di is not happy and at rest...At this stage, Khushi loves Arnav beyond his imagination... Just yesterday she saw a glimpse of peace on his face seeing his di eating and all. Khushi's keep saying I did for di indicating that Arnav should see this way and she says that "I never thought that you will think this way..." Why? Because she knows her Arnavji makes all correct, he will understand her the way he understood her the day she brought Shyam's truth in front of all.

But Arnav is right at his place...He is a man wrapped in the cloak of anger to fight his past demons and get a spark to dare this ruthless life as a deal...

All his life his nearest and most loved ones let him down terribly making his heart hardened and sworn for not again...not anymore. That reflects here...

 "I always knew it... kabhi kissi ko itni kareeb nahin aane deni chahiye... kyunki phir wahi log... wahi log tumhe chot pahunchate hain..."

{ I always knew.. I should never let anyone come close to me because after that.. the same people hurt you.]

Chot...jo chot tumnain mujhe pohchaye hai uska kia...   [What about The hurt you have given me ] He said that in epi 2000...oh,  this is his Chot, this hurt which he is carrying in his heart for ever...since the age of fourteen...

unfair justifying moment she takes pride in saying that di will be ok if her husband is close, oh he is furious, rage is oozing but this time he has control...and he continues...

"Galati meri hai... ki maine tumhe apne itne kareeb aane diya... issliye tumne aaj apni hud paar ki...mera bharosa toda hai..." it's my fault, that I let you come so close to me, which is why you crossed your limit today and broke my trust.

This had me..."you broke my trust..."

Khushi still didn't get where was he coming from, I think that is a natural game of relationship where two partners take the stand on their own grounds...

 She says I had never thought that you would think like this... Did I break your faith? Didn't you see Di? Didn't you see the happiness on her face after seeing Shyam? If I didn't bring Shyam here today then maybe Di wouldn't be with us. 

This falls flat on my ears that it was not making sense repeating the same over and over...It was like there was no common ground here and Arnav turns his face...

"just leave. khushi, chali jaao yahan se. " She tries to move forward raising her hand but he moves away from her...and shouts...

"I said.. go! "   

He just wanted her to go, wanted to be alone, the dark lonely state of mind is what always have given him the answer, the guidance...or he didn't want to hurt her further as her tears were making him gulped many times... 

 A desperately shocked & hurt Khushi is crying and then leaves from there. She walks very slow and as soon as she goes outside of the room, Arnav closes the door.

Ah! the mind is at war and hands at the laptop, typical ASR and here enters the one who became the reason for all of this tiff...

"When one with honeyed words but evil mind
Persuades the mob, great woes befall the state. 
 Euripides

The most beautiful and My fav scene among many...Gripping Shyam's neck in his hand, gritted teeth, clenching jaws deliver the most beautiful words ever...

"Khabardar agar usska naam bhi apni zubaan par laaye toh!" [don't you dare even bring her name to your lips]

Oh, He loves her paagal, no matter what.He is mad at her yet he won't let anyone near her even he has given permission to the one who he wants to tear apart right here at this very moment... 

He was furious when Shyam tries to cajole Arnav...ThinShyam of Shyam anywhere near khushi or even in his thoughts oh he will crush him in no time... this protective side of him he shows possessively to Shyam...declaring it clear and letting him no he is not here in his house for a long time...

It is for his di...

Shyam leaves with a smirk but a lover set the rules way too hight this time..

Yes, he is getting it when the anger is receding from his brain...The night falls...he is restless and relives the hurtful things he said to her .. he mostly remembers. he yelled at her to go .. JUST GO .. he sits up with a jerk.. a realization .. what have I done ??what did I say ?? Reminding me off his words that he said to La that I regret after saying those hurtful things to you...

The other side she is resting with her Devi Maiya crying silently remembering him that he misunderstood her, didn't try to let her explain...a true picture of true partners...

The morning starts with their meeting notes and a need for his woman, a need for her man...no matter what... nothing to justify, nothing to show others...natural behaviors...

Being restlessness in the morning... a laptop snapped shut...jaws clenched. the pacing starts with an aching heart.

she makes jalebi...as always in her restlessness. She didn't call, he knows she can't rest either,he has been harsh and he feels its reflected pain.

He turns swiftly and picks up his phone and dials her...she's sulking but a sudden smile appears seeing his name, but then... no I won't talk that easily...he needs to know what he has done...

He calls again...

She cuts again and What the!...honestly if he sees her placing her phone under the vegetables, he must throw another laugh putting all the weight of this bitterness aside...



what the... he says...yes rightly said...

Throwing his phone aside he walks out of his room...

The lighter notes but the one who was thinking to win heart by lighter notes were shunned once again...and why not...An unborn child just died and if no one else wanted to walk with this fact that was fine but his mama won't let that slip away...I loved this touch...He was right in my eyes.

"I want all the workers out instantly..." Anjali intervenes yet his answer remains the same

"di, please! stop it," he snaps 

 He will not do anything to make her feel better this time, period... he is angry, hurt, and restless... The separation from his love,  Khushi, this trepidation and anxiety while missing her... he can't take it anymore... lovely touch and understanding of true lovers, soulmates... but at the same time it is Shyam who initiated this whole decorations and moving on act , pay attention to Anjali's words, inhon ne aur hum ne..." 

Why would he welcome Shyam? Period!
