~Breaking Barriers~

 

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."...~ Rumi ~

The self imposed barriers by ASR are being broken finally by himself to take the initiative to follow his heart to break down the criss-cross lines of ego and practicality to give himself over to his heart and join his true soul-mate Khushi for forever is the key element of this episode. The love has finally bloomed in Khushi and Arnav's life. Two souls who today realized they are soul mates destined to be together forever.

Their heartbeats had echoed the truth in their minds that they were meant to be together but Arnav chose to deny it while Khushi chose to ignore it yet  both could never erase each other from their hearts and minds. They themselves became the biggest barriers in the path of their love but the bond of love that destiny has woven among them never lost its knot. They both tried to untwine several time with each pull they felt but they got more entangled deep into  the emotion of love till they were forced to admit their love for the other to their own self. Arnav loved Khushi but did not think Khushi would love him back.Khushi loved Arnav but never thought he would love her back. Their hearts confessed their true feelings in the moments that they shared with each other since from the beginning but their minds refused to acknowledge.Their pretense of disregard for love continued till Arnav heard in all consciousness that it matters to Khushi to prove her innocence because"baat aapki hai farq padta hai... agar aur kisi ki hoti...to nahi padta ..agar aap hi aise chale jayenge to hum saas hi nahin le..." and for Khushi to hear Arnav saying in his conscious"I love you" though she took it as a signal because she still needs time and Arnav's unpredictable behavior made it difficult for her to comes to census that quick till "I love u Dammit " will come in the picture .

But today all the barriers broke loose. Everything washed away except the fact that love was requited at both ends.The depth of this love that each had for the other was realized today in the face of adversity.

"Khushi I Love You"...made her heart to recognize the strange and disturb beat of his heart in danger and all he wants to answer in her claim...yes it matters to me too..."Fadak Padta hai hamesha se.."...He asks her how did she know...and before she could say that ...danger knocks the door again and the kidnapper comes in , who crosses the line of morality with Khushi.Arnav controls his anger for the safety of Khushi  even when the goon touches her or tries to feed her , an intimate act which boils Arnav's lava in his veins and he emerges up through the net but holds his fist...you can see ,he was about to lose his temper any second .The moment Rocky steps forward with his intentions and Khushi looks at Arnav , He loses it and that leads to Arnav breaking the net, yelling "Don't you dare touch her..." ,He jumps over the barrier and thrashes the goon until Khushi pleads with him to stop"Arnavji Chodiye...". That shows Arnav will break down his self-imposed barriers any time when Khushi will face danger... as a possessive, protective lover leaps into action to barricade his love in his safe heaven. Arnav has always been the safety  net around Khushi, even on that dreadful night putting the manglesutre as a safe "thread " as he has drawn a "Rekha" against all fires unintentionally around her. When he said "I love u Khushi" Love was Home, and Khushi being Arnav's love is Home to him. He is the protective barrier that keeps off all the  danger and evil elements from hurting his home, his life, his love , HIS " Khushi ".

 Today ASR tone and BG score comes into action for Khushi, but my grabber is Arnav was in it...Second, Khushi's voice of love will cut through his armour of anger and get Arnav back to sensibility when he loses all reason.

Arnav realized what his presence means to her...for the first time to his '"Theek ho tum?" she shakes her head with negative answer being scared of with what just happened and at the same time relieved to see her love right with her and ran to hug him as her life depended on it.She's been missing his presence  holding her fist during all these nights and today that fist is open to hold him. She opened her heart, her weakness to him without thinking twice..., her vulnerability was out in the open for Arnav Singh Raizada to see and to feel. Khushi realized the extent of his protective nature today seeing him beating up goons for harassing her ... it gave her the courage to lay out her emotions truthfully in front of the man who is hers ...only hers. She realized  he is the only one who can hold her falling from all pitfalls in all weathers. She had seen this side of his during the Nainital trip but had not understood the motive behind his actions then... But today she does... it is LOVE. 

I loved seeing her feet lifting off the ground, barely kissing the earth as she went straight into his arms! Total mesmerized moment it was! And  at the top he brought his hands slowly to hold her with uncertainity,but the next moment he was hugging her back so tightly.He  hugged back Khushi today with a smile of gratification and content... his weary body and mind registered a new deal of his life...the war within has desisted... love has poured into his scorched soul as a  sweet and cool nectar of life.He breathes with a rejuvenated smile of content  and makes a dash for freedom from his self barricaded  life with Khushi today... Their bodies were fused as one like two souls finally united by  acknowledging each other's love, holding on to one another after all the affliction, pain and heart-breaks with mental torment. Two lonely souls who found love in each other by filling in the gaps of loneliness for the other .Both were holding each other tightly and securely breaking down the walls of mistrust and agony .They were  engraving themselves into each other by absorbing the heart-beats and bandaging deep wounds with rooted care and love...

 

 Khushi seek solace in Arnav's arms in the hospital without acknowledging the Love in between them but ARnav was hesitant holding her back securily even though he wanted to...today that loop id closed ...

 

Arnav and Khushi have met and part so many times, Either they didn't want to see each other's face...or they showed dislikeness for each other because of ego OR  they were too confused to get emotionally come closer to each other. This was the first time that they hoped and wished to meet one another after parting! There was attraction involved then and now , the only difference is the awareness and acknowledgement of love that they hold for one another in their hearts.The understanding of this unsaid love is knotting them..."Dhaga bandh liya" ...yes the thread has been knotted for forever.. The tiny pearls have been strung in a string in between them, showing them hoping to see each other again, striving to cross every barrier in the path of their Love to seek solace in each other's arms.

Khushi has opened her heart completely to this man by giving herself over to him. The secrets about her feelings for him now are out in the open.. they don't even convey 'I Love You'  as their actions, gestures, eyes, tears, smiles, and hearts convey all that they need to say to one another.

Khushi reaches up to him, his equal but  her toes kiss the ground ... she is still rooted to herself even though she has merged with him now, her individuality is retained as they hold each other close in that embrace. He is knocked off his feet for a split second as she crashes into him.But he  welcomes her hug by cherishing her touch, her embrace,and this moment.It was hard for him believing that his love is in his arms, and after grasping that moment of sense that she is truly his then he lifts his arms and encircle them around her, enveloping the girl who had always belonged to him, who he always needed, loved and hoped for!

 in  the search of a love, so pure

my wounds got entangle with impure

but  the warmth of my blood with heartbeat

guided me to mingle a soul, so pure

They were meant to be together ,destined to be together since from the beginning and their journey of destiny to be as one reels out encircling & intertwining them into realization and making them cherishing those embracing moments.First rain hugwhen Arnav first got attracted towards Khushi, Then dressing her wound in the temple when he couldn't stop himself going after her even though he told her to go away after Diwali...Broken Bangle scene when he felt his right to relieve her pain especially after thinking that she had met with an accident prior to this  feeling her pain.The times they bumped into one another for Khushi's realization...signs that they will always be brought together.Arnav untangling the fairy-lights from Khushi, blowing off the dust from her eyes, replacing her mother's payal on her foot for Arnav:all the times he got closer, attracted desirously to Khushi. The kiss at Diwali, their physical proximity during the Teri-Meri dance for Khushi... the moments that made her melt, the moments she started losing her heart to this man.The Arnav's sealed kiss on Khushi's cheek... the first time hesealed himself on her with a kiss by making her his...

All the memories of before marriage ,from various stages of their love were laid out to make them acknowledge their love for each other which they failed to recognize then.The time has frozen in those moments for them which melt their hearts with their hidden love for each other.Today those moments were guiding them to revisit and embrace all with open arms...But the beauty is in all those moments the mothers' wishes were with them including Devi Mayiya...

However, their love moment gets interrupted and they escape and run from these goons.They hide from their captors to dodge them by joining hands. Their joined hands seem creating sync with one another. Khushi gets disturbed seeing Arnav's wounds and tells him how she was losing her brain during his absence .  Khushi's care, concern and tears for him touches Arnav... a lonely boy, who had to take care of his sister at a young age, who only gave and hardly received much in return is now the recipient of genuine love, care and comfort. It means even more when it comes from the very girl who was the only one who has made a place in his heart. Her love for him is gradually healing  his broken heart and he is stunned by every moment of her love for him. Arnav shushes her and tries to make her calm down. He glances out to check on the kidnappers when one of them spots him out . Arnav plunges down behind some cartons by tenveloping Khushi in his tight embrace being out of the view of the kidnappers who were moving close-by.

  

 

Arnav protected Khushi all the time and he will do it forever as a protective fence around her... she clings to him, her only constant hope in life as she knows she will be safe with him as always... and he does just that even now. He clasps her tightly to him, even she holds desperately and faithfully on to him, both of them together in the face of danger.

 

This is also, the first time that they have been so close physically. The attraction was dominant from the very beginning between them, the constant love/hate equation only heightened their desire to be with one another, the misunderstanding might have driven them apart, but it also brought them closer together as they shared space with one another for a considerable period of time thereby increasing their knowledge of one another...Their bodies are fused with each other in such a way that there is no room of  air in between them . The romantic note of Rabba Ve makes it more  ardent with passionate and desirous emotions...Burying her face near the crook of his neck with her closed eyes, Khushi is clutching on his shirt in such a way  with fear that her lips are brushing his neck. He doesn't remove his strong grip either .Khushi is the one who first realizes their position and lifts her head slowly while sliding her lips along with his neck till both face each other . Their lips are so close  and He turns his face more towards her while brushing her cheek . Their noses with the heated breath are now touching each others . The heated desires were oozing from their expressions and their eyes sending tingling sensations and denied attraction is so visible at this moment...among their fused bodies...

His soft yet passionate gazes completely forget to blink and he keeps looking at her with deep cindering desires and she can feel it equally with her innocence without moving an inch and keeps glancing at his lips and eyes constanly .Both are burning in their flickering emotions which were ready to ash them within.. Time gets frozen and halted in between them as always . The heated air forgets to rise and stays in between their eyes to create a perfect reflection of mirage of their inner feelings but today they can touch it together. The hearts with their thudding beats have made their surroundings as silent as it could be by the enchanted bells of their erratic notions in between them.Both are completely lost in each others charm , meeting  first time these unknown urges of passions , discovering the new sensation in their bodies  by forgetting everything ...as this is their first meeting..first wedding night right there  among them.

"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see. You have to believe what you feel." 

---Morrie Schwartz 

If he was not letting her out of his churned gazes ,Her eyes and lips were quivering with the thirst of desire by looking at his lips with her bold and sensuous way sending him tingling vibes which were becoming totally unbearable for him too.His eyes still can't believe  that his Love of life which was is concealing within layers of his heart is right here in his arms.Their focus gets diversion by the footsteps holding guns in their hands...

I love this when Arnav again clutches her body with him as tightly as possible while moving down. Khushi lifts her head again to see the goons and so does he but he doesn't lose his secure clutch on him and he will never do in future either no matter how big the danger is.He will stop every rising particle of scorching air against Khushi in all weathers...

 

Once the kidnappers move away, Khushi and Arnav run again, and hide among some brushes , where Arnav gets hurt in the back by some branches. Khushi knows that he is in pain and is hurt but he is hiding as always as I said above Nani's story and Anjali's words have made an impact on her, Khushi immediately holds her hand against a branch that would have hurt Arnav's face as he straightens up thereby taking the pain herself. He asks her to remove her hand but she refuses  and makes him realize today that she knows how he's been saving her by taking all the pain to himself all this time .."Aap hume bachaane ke liye chot sehh sakte hain, toh hum kyun nahi?"...both recall the rain and the guest house where he saved her from the running car and took care of her when she fainted...,

Arnav has never found a more steady equal soul-mate of him and that was reflecting from his face . They are one now.He is not alone in being the protector in this relationship, Khushi will protect him under any circumstance. Each one will give themselves completely to one another now on, and will fulfill the sacred vows of this marriage.

 

They find a hut and go into it, Khushi's blood-stained hand leaving an impression on the entrance wall of the hut.

When Arnav and Khushi was engaged in the temple Khushi was hurt and today we are seeing again she is hurt ...and she had put her blood on the door just like a bride puts her stamps (Saket), her  husband's home beside the Swastika. Yes! The Union of Souls has been completed. There is no space for Misunderstanding anymore.
