EPISODE 299

EPISODE 299
A Sacred Rose ...


A persistent husband who took an oath behind closed fist, clenched teeth not because of anger but because of his helplessness seeing his Khushi crying. She was crying seeing the very stars who he believes in their parents now, Humare parents ko...yes he said that during telepathy...He accepted that he believes in her belief now. His oath is I will win you back...and he is so adamant to achieve that goal no matter what.




This also shows how her beliefs and norms are part of his now.I must say this shows me a weak and inconsistent story here otherwise after that night of his taking oath, this could be the memorable one yet, Barun and Sanaya did keep their characters intact so far.Khushi has a lousy sequence here.BUT this part was beyond touchy and emotional.So real and touches your heart.

A girl is hurt, beyond hurt.She came home with her husband after a near-death experience and faces the whole family in exposing the filthy face of Shyam.Yet she once again gets the blamed for that and no one else did that but Arnav.When she wanted to be away, he trapped her in the same contract which he used to hurt her by the forced marriage.



Though she is not complaining, not saying anything to anyone yet he knows, he knows he had hurt her beyond imagination and whatever he will have to do, he will get her smile back.Her smile means the world to him.How easily he got her smile back by telling her that she has to walk with him forward together and the very same day in the night, he said why did she even come to his life.The contradictions of his own statements have made this innocent soul not only confused but also hurt that she has built this wall against her.A girl who forgives so easily is behaving indifferently so much.


Her complaint is she wanted to hear just a simple pure wish from him which makes her feel like she is something to him...

"Ek saadi si janamdin ki mubarak baad , jismain apnapan ho..."

Yes, she wants to hear that she is something to him, she means something to him.Do you blame her for that? Her heart knows but her mind is in the bay where ASR is saying something different and doing something different as always.


Her wish is his command...Yes! It is.She wants a wish from him and she will get it before the day gets over...
A wish at 5 to 12

He stands there looking at her, she is sleeping soundly, nah, she is just avoiding him.
He looks at the clock and sees that there is 5 minutes until midnight. He sits next to her and stares at her lovingly. How much he loves her, she knows but he still is unaware of this thing yet he can't live without her. 
     

He moves a strand of her from her face, because he simply can't even stand even that strand to bother her, to even smallest thing which could be in between him and her is unbearable, a thing which makes him touch her, urges him to tuck it away behind her ears right away.He places a rose next to her pillow.A rose the price of which she is totally unaware of right now but this gesture of him she can't ignore.


Even in her fake sleep, you can see clearly how much it has affected her.He will take her to that garden from where he brought this rose,A rose is as sweet as Khushi...a rose as sweet as his mother.Only Khushi has this honor in his heart and mind as his mother.He didn't even take Anjali to that garden.That prestigious level he has given only to Khushi...Roses his mother's fav, his fav and Khushi's fav flower...


His lips wishes her ..."Happy Birthday Khushi!I wish tumahin duniya ki saari khushiyan milain..." [ I wish you get the happiness of this world..."
A voice rasped in tears, layered of emotions clearly shows how much he is in remorse for his actions.How much he wants to celebrate every moment of her life but he couldn't at this moment because of his sister.


He leans over her and kisses her forehead so softly.as lingering as it could feel...moves a little, keeps looking at her,how much his silence is screaming at that moment.This is a man who can't express through words yet says all through his eyes and she understand all, feels all.He sits there looking away from her while she opens her eyes, couldn't resist.Looks at the rose and him, her eyes are teary, feels every unsaid word of him but still remains quiet.She knows he is walking on a sharp sword,his sister is in pain, he is in pain and she has to move away so she could be happy, he could be happy.She said already that I can't see you in pain...But this gesture of him can't be ignored, she is touched.

When he walks away and stops to look back at her,Yes, he can feel her, knows she is not asleep but she is not letting me in...because she doesn't want to at this point, he knows she is creating this distance for his sister and he is the one who made the room for this thought in her, this rift by his cruel words and now he has to build this bridge.Now he wants to make his Khushi understand if his sister is important so is she... but she is adamant,she pretends to be asleep and then he leaves and her eyes trails him down.Tears flow yet a heart has picked the beat of that apnapan...that closeness which she was missing for while after his harsh words yet her mind is still adamant to make him out of this pain...

No wonder why This ROSE is as sweet as his mother...and how can he let her go...his heart knows his mind knows...
Arnav- Khushi Hamesha continues...

Episode 298

EPISODE 298

Today is my birthday

   



Khushi reminds her LaadGovernor that this is her birthday and she can do whatever she feels like it.LOL and Her prince charming do obey her rule by doing all to make her happy which he never did before in his life.
As Arnav reaches the door, he finds Anjali with the flowers he ordered for Khushi.Anjali gets emotional, says, "Look, Chhotey, he sent me red roses.. see how beautiful these are.." She thinks these are sent by Shyam. 


Arnav's heart goes out to her but he manages to say in a soft voice, "Di, I ordered those.." Khushi watches them from a distance, her eyes smile with purity..Anjali says, "You ordered them.." Aranv attempts to tell her, "Yes, today is.." before he can complete, Anjali says, "For me.." with a faint smile through her tears and hugs Arnav. Aranv's feels very sorry for her, hugs and consoles her,and says, "Yes, for you.." His heart heavy watching her so vulnerable...


Arnav' eyes spot Khushi looking at them... he looks her directly in the eye and says, "Yes, Di! I know whose favorite flower it is!" Khushi's heart jumps with joy as he leaves her with no doubt that the flowers were meant to be for her... Arnav's eyes do not leave Khushi's face .Here, My heart went out to Khushi and Aranv more than Anjali... Life has put their love through so many tests already...But I was glad that Arnav made no mistake in letting Khushi know that the flowers were meant for her and not for Anjali...


  

Later that evening as Khushi is walking up the stairs she runs into Payal who hides who presents Khushi with a light green sari. 


Soon after, NK comes by and takes Khushi upstairs. Before allowing her to enter her room, he gifts her a present; a bangle. He states that this bangle is a promise from him to her that he will always be there for her throughout life.How sweet.He asks her is she upset that flowers were given to Anjali and gets surprised hearing her answer her genuine smile for Arnav that he did all just to bring a smile over Anjali's face.He smiles and appreciates her before leading Khushi to her room.

  


The pool side is decorated with twinkling fairy lights..everything looks beautiful and magical.. A happy smile brightens her face and her eyes twinkle with joy...When Aranv walks in .. she looks at him with subtle softness.. his eyes full of anticipation and expectation..his heart worried, waiting for her approval..Aranv walks over slowly..Khushi looks at him with subtle happiness in her eyes but says nothing..Just then Arnav's eye spots the handbag.."What have you done to this bag?" He asks with surprise. Khushi says, "Oh, yes! It had become so dirty due to the tomatoes.. that washed it!" Poor Aranv is so shocked at her answer and the non-realization of her act, forgetting about getting angry, he does not even lose his temper... he just gets frustrated but he even handles it so well, ready to swallow all that, he says, 'forget it.. just forget the bag..."




Uneasy silence fills the atmosphere once again.. With some hesitation, Arnav honestly says, "You had decorated with such lights on New Year's so.. I thought you would these lights.." his eyes seek approval from Khushi.. eagerly he awaits her response.. but Khushi's face hardens, her eyes become indifferent and she asks sarcastically, "Are you trying to say something to me?" That just does it to Arnav, he immediately loses his confidence but tries hard, "Yes, I want to say..It's your Birthday today.. so..." he says with a little smile on his face, hesitating... Khushi immediately cuts him off and says assertively, 'Yes.. It's my birthday today.." 




ASR almost has a tough time getting words out of his mouth..he gulps down..tries very hard but.. it's not easy for him... somehow he manages to say, "so.. so.. cut the cake!.. is what I was about to say... Yes, let's cut the cake!" Khushi gets more upset as that's not what she wants to hear, she asks, "What?".. Folds her hands and asks aggressively, "Why? .." Aranv struggles with words again, "Why..?.. What do you mean.?It's your Birthday.. that's why!" Now Khushi's anger starts peaking...

.
Arnav starts lighting the candle on the cake..A hopeful smile lights up his face.. eyes soft and expectant.. Khushi boils with anger.."Come on, let's cut the cake!" Arnav says cheerfully..Khushi takes time reacting.. By then, the candle is blown off by the breeze..As Khushi watches from a distance, Arnav lights up the candle again...Asks, "What are you waiting for?.. The breeze is strong.. so, blow the candle quickly and wish whatever you want!" Khushi angrily says, "I don't want to cut any cake!" Turns away and folds her hands making a face.. 


Arnav now puzzled what's on Khushi's mind... As the flame of the candle is threatened by the strong breeze. he tries to shield it with his hands..It still blows off! Arnav starts getting worked up, but successfully maintains his calm..lights up the candle again, says, "What do you mean by you don't want to cut the cake? At least blow the candle... Damn it!" 


Khushi says in a flat to an angry voice like a stubborn child, "Didn't I say that I don't want to do anything?" Arnav tries to reason, "It's your Birthday, Khushi!" Khushi immediately turns around and yells at him showing a finger, "It's my Birthday! That's why you cannot force me to do anything!... I won't cut the cake.. neither would I blow the candle.. nor would I eat anything!... And you are not allowed to force me!" Arnav is taken aback by her reaction...


Candle blows out again due to the breeze. As Arnav lights it up again, he warns, "Khushi, this is the last time I am doing this!.. Come here right now.."



Khushi yells back, "Did you not hear? I don't want to do anything!.. Even today you would act like a Laad Governor?" and she turns around to leave. Now Arnav is about to lose his patience, he says in a firm voice, "Stop there right now!" .. halts Khushi in her path. Arnav comes over with hasty footsteps, grabs Khushi's arm and brings her to the cake,..Khushi pulls her hand out of his grip, as Arnav tells her, "I made all the preparations..Blow the candle quickly and cut the cake! Do as I say!" Khushi looks at him with a stubborn expression on her face..


Arnav says firmly,. "Khushi, blow the candle." Khushi yells back, "Are you celebrating my birthday or threatening me?.. " Spots the candle being blown out again.. she says sarcastically, "There.. your candle is blown out again!" Running thin on patience, Arnav says, "Alright, " grabs the knife and places it in Khushi's hand. Khushi holds the knife straight in her hand and says angrily, " Don't hand me the knife at this time! I am very angry that I could use it anyway I want right now!" Arnav looks at her unimpressed by her tactics, he swiftly grabs her hand with the knife and makes her cut the cake! Arnav is taken over by the thought of making it happen and Khushi took over by the rage that she won't do whatever it might be that he has on his mind.,but one thing was sure he was looking at her passionately no matter what her closeness was more than enough to arouse desires and she could feel it too..
Khushi pulls her hand from Arnav's grip and moves away from him. Anger evident on her face..a subtle smile on Arnav's face..Arnav pick up a piece of cake and try to feed it to Khushi..Khushi moves her head in other direction. Arnav tries again. Khushi moves her head in another direction.. her eyes closed..

 
 
Aranv finally grabs Khushi's face, pinches her mouth open and as Khushi's eyes go wide with disbelief, he feeds her the cake..Khushi finally takes a bite, that brings smile to Arnav's face Arnav takes couple steps forward, Khushi moves backwards.. Arnav reaches for Khushi's lips..Khushi unsure what he is up to.. Arnav wipes off the chocolate from the cake stuck on her lips.. affectionately. Khushi angrily shakes his hand off of her face.. turns around and starts muttering under her breath,.. 

Aranv asks with simplicity, "What are you saying?"

 Angrily Khushi says, "I am making a promise to myself! .. That on your birthday..I will shove many many sweets in down your throat!.. But before that, I will shut off the AC..



 " this brings smile to Aranv's face.. "and I will light the mosquito repellent coil so that you lose your voice!.. And what else irks you..?" To Khushi's frustration, Arnav's face is lit up with a broad smile...


Khushi angrily says to Aranv, "You don't even realize that you cannot force someone to celebrate their birthday.." Arnav still has a mild smile on his face that disappears as soon as he hears Khushi's next words, " Creating such a scene.. gifts.. cake.. This does not make me happy! I don't want any of this!" Then she says with a heavy voice, "I don't want all these showy things.. I just wanted something that would remember forever..something more..something full of affection.." Aranv's face mellows down.. each word of Khushi hammering his heart.. Khushi looks at him and say, "Just a simple birthday wish.. that would make me happy..,. but you just don't get it! You are Arnav Singh Raizada.. Happy Birthday . are merely meaningless words for you! How can you say that..it has no pride. great!.. Well. Thank you for the bag worth two lacs! Thank you for the cake! Thank you for this decoration!..Many Many Thanks!" A tear trickles down her face..
She leaves him there in a stunned and painful state.I found it irrational whatever she said.Had no meaning in front of what he did because it was way difficult for him to do all.It was against his style and natre but he did just for her happiness.
Anjali comes to her room crying she keeps the tray down..shuts the door close and breaks down in tears.Her eyes settle on the flowers..the conversation she had with Arnav when the flowers arrived flashes back in front of her eyes.. Anjali remembers an earlier conversation with Khushi when Khushi had told her that red roses were her favorite.. she now realizes that the flowers were meant for Khushi and not her. she picks up the bouquet and throws it on the floor... Crying she kneels down and says, "Was it so easy for you, Chhotey, to forget everything? You forgot everything so quickly! .Just now your Di has been through so much! Even under these circumstances, Khushi ji means more to you than your Di!.. How could you forget..? How did you?"
Today, the first time,Anjali realizes that she is not the only women in Arnav's life; Khushi is also a part of his life. Anjali has always been dependent on the men in her life, be it Shyam or Arnav and sort of the center of attention and now that has been riveted towards someone else was not easy for her to digest. Now that Shyam is gone (for now), she has fully become dependent for support on Arnav. With Arnav wanting to spend some time with his wife, Anjali begins to feel that she is no longer important in his life instead of understanding that Khushi is also his responsibility. The fact that she said that Arnav now loves someone else more than he loves her shows how bad her mental state is.She's self pitying hersel and feels like she is alone, that shows her insecure state of mind. Arnav is her biggest support and he cares dearly for his sister but at the same time, he cannot ignore his wife, the one person he almost lost. At this time, Anjali needs actual medical help to get her out of this state.It felt over dramatic at some point to me.
My heart went out to Arnav even though I sympathize with Khushi and her sweet demand for him to wish her but she stretched it too much...However, his usual ASR style determination kept his emotions under control much impressively. He genuinely tried to woo Khushi and please her to avail.Yet, one side she was promising herself to give him all sweet punishments and brought a smile over his face feeling this that she is in this marriage for forever and she is accepting him as a husband but her pushing him far with her attitude was contradictory.
Arnav's genuine efforts to please her. somemone like Khushi should be able to recognize it.. if she is trying to teach him a lesson, she does not need to act this way at all. Khushi, has a special dignity and love in my eyes who understands without words and this was not getting into me...She loves him unconditionally and this was setting conditions, me no like it.
NK and Payal are sweethearts.. their emotions got reciprocated by Khushi.. The smile that Payal had on her face when she wished Khushi wiped offal the bad memories and it seemed like Khushi was not alone anymore. NK is the best bro ever for both.
Arshi's nok jokes during the cake cutting show us so much nice Arnav can be before the ASR comes out. He was snapping out here and there yet this is not his cup of tea. As much as Arnav tries to be the sweet, loving and romantic type, he always resort to his ASR style. It was cute and reminded us why we fell in love with them. We got to see the powerful ASR again demand that his wife do something, while Khushi resorted to her stubborn and headstrong nature that she will do whatever.In my eyes she did extend this act a bit too much.Seeing her man doing too much and against his nature, she should've stopped and smiled which he was looking for. But must say Khushi is playing hard to get out of this what she wants, a simple bday wish from his mouth coming right from his heart .
Arnav- Khushi Hamesha
Lovely moment

Episode 297 Maha

Episode 297 Maha 

Ha-Ha-Happy Birthday 



Arnav is surprised that it is Khushi's birthday and Buaji scolds Arnav for not remembering her birthday.She is right, majority men are same like Arnav.Later Akash will tell him for girls how important these days are. I love this maha, as this brings Khushi, our old Khushi back.Her carefree, nonchalant ways, full of mischievousness with her Buaji was my grabber.But at the same time, SIL Arnav who was greeted at the door by the neighbor and then welcomed by Buaji and all was something melted me.A multimillionaire was so tender and at the top so humble.Afraid of Buaji like a child, steady at his mission to woe his wife by wishing her, doing something which he never did before the very same way as he never said sorry.BUT Khushi is his and he can do whatever with her as always.She deserves it.She said once to him that you won't say sorry to me because of my status and he proved her that has no meaning for him in such case it is his hesitancy that hinders such act.Still, Khushi has to know a lot about her man. After the aarti, both Khushi and Arnav take Buaji's blessings and the rest of the family wishes Khushi a happy birthday. Arnav attempts to say "Happy Birthday" to Khushi when Buaji threatens him to stay for lunch which he accepts and Buaji leaves them alone so he could wish Khushi but he failed to do so.Poor guy is trying so hard.I feel for him.



He cleans his hands in front of broken mirror scolding himself as a third person,"Arnav Singh Raizada..." I found it cute though...The other side, Buaji taking Nazar of Khushi.No doubt, she was looking so cute in this act to which he also finds cute.Her smile brings a smile to his face.He was upset thinking that Khushi can't smile or laugh like this in RM.It was hurtful for him. Buaji asks Khushi if Arnav has wished her to which she says no. She even tells Buaji that till this day, Arnav has never wished anyone a happy birthday, according to Lavanya... which surprises Buaji. At the Raizada house, Mamiji intentionally keeps Payal busy which in return ends up burning Akash's lunch. Akash yells at Payal telling her that she needs to stop paying so much attention to her sister as she was busy making her fav dishes and start paying more attention to him.



A cute moment.Arnav attempts to explain himself to Buaji on the fact that he did not know it was her birthday. He says that he would be able to make up with his wife but wonders why Buaji is miffed with him. Buaji tells Arnav that in order to please her, he must eat whatever she has made, to which he agrees.Arnav trying to please Buaji. It's nice to see how much he cares about her family and that he wants to see them happy. It's really nice to see how his relationship with Buaji has changed since first meeting them. At first, Buaji didn't really like the Raizada's, especially after the way Arnav treated Khushi but she now treats him with so much love like her Babua


Buaji piles his plate many times with the food and he quietly finishes it.Buaji states to Arnav that she is no longer miffed with him as he continued to eat everything that was given to him. Later that day, he presents Khushi with a present to which she is surprised; a new bag.



Khushi shows Buaji and Amma her gift and says that it's from Arnav's manager Aman as his name was on the parcel... Upset, Arnav takes Khushi to the side and reminds her that he gave her the gift. When she asks him if he picked it out, bought it and packed it; to which he replied no; she makes him realize he has not bought her the gift.


 He then says to Buaji and Amma that he should be leaving and is about to ask Khushi to come along. Khushi diverts and tells him to go and she will be home soon.I could feel his helplessness in the doorway when he asks Khushi if she will indeed return home, to which she says she has no other option but to do so.Here I felt a helplessness in her voice.How hard it is for both to stay away but at the same time staying together wasn't easy either.


At the Raizada house, Arnav informs Nani that today is Khushi's birthday. Nani realizes that Knowing the condition of the house and everything that happened, Khushi would not want her birthday to be celebrated in such a big manner.She knows how Khushi is sensible in such cases.
When she asks Arnav is he had wished her a happy birthday, he makes an excuse of a conference call and leaves. Arnav is then sitting by the poolside doing something on his laptop when NK comes by. When he sees Arnav searching about birthday surprises, NK gets happy. He realizes its Khushi's birthday and is glad to see that Arnav wants to do something nice for her. Arnav asks NK to leave him alone as Khushi is already upset with him. NK realizes that Arnav must have forgotten Khushi's birthday and begins to give him ideas on how to pacify her. NK puts forth a few good suggestions, from bringing Salman Khan for her to singing "Happy Birthday" to her, to take her on a trip, but Arnav turns down each of them. NK reminds him not to turn down his ideas as it was his New Year's Eve plan that brought them together. Arnav then gets an idea of how to please Khushi. On her way back home, It was nice to see NK give Arnav various ideas on how to please Khushi, even though Arnav turned each one of them down. It was cute and funny and was really sweet when Arnav stated he wanted to do something from the heart for Khushi. Khushi is constantly complaining about her new bag. She stops by the market to buy some vegetables and places them all in her bag. When she returns home, Arnav is glad to see her. Before he can say happy birthday to her, he is shocked to see what she has done to the bag; it seeped in with tomato juice. 


The two have a discussion on the bag and Khushi is shocked when Arnav tells her the bag cost 2 lacks.I didn't like this part though but again at this point writing was haywire. Nani is cute here asking Arnav to take Khushi's bag.LOL, ASR and wife's bag full of vegetables in his hand...Nani takes Khushi's aarti and blesses her and Khushi then hands out laddoos that Buaji gave her to Nani, Payal and NK. They all then leave Arnav and Khushi alone as he again attempts to say happy birthday to her, which he again fails at... Khushi then decides to go to her room, but Arnav stops her saying that she can't go in there just yet. Not knowing what her husband means, she retreats to the kitchen. "OK, then I am going to Buaji's home..." I was like girl don't test ASR that much with your empty threats... After a long intense drama, we are seeing a lighter, happier, funnier episode which was nice for a change.It was nice to see a much happier and funnier episode, seeing Arnav bonding with Khushi's family, her miffed state with him and his trying to pacify her by all means. 


Arnav-Khushi Hamesha
