Moon-struck (For Arshi Fiesta)

Aao parmeswariyon welcome. :)

He stared at the random but ~not so random~ word, google had dared to suggest to him today, staring back at him. As if to challenge him to deny the truth written beneath it as it's 'meaning'.

He slammed the cover of the iPad and threw it away on his bed. He pulled out his belt only to slam it away on the floor.

He tore through his hair with both his hands, resting them at the nape of his neck, with the fingers intertwined.

He couldn't deny the effect that, that slip of a girl had on him ever since she had bombarded into his life quite literally.

He still used to feel restless and anxious almost all the time but it was not due to the anger and desperation of the trauma that he had to go through as early as fourteen. He could admit it to himself that he still used to wake up in the middle of the night with a start. But it wasn't due to the fear and panic which used to make him feel like breaking into tears and cry away for the rest of the hours in the vicinity of the walls of his room.

Rather it was due to the fact that a certain someone in a red chiffon saree, a barely there blouse, with no room for a bra had started coming to meet him in the privacy of his dreams.

The two frail doris tied above the shoulder blades, jet black straight hair pushed to one side of a shoulder. And just when he used to about to touch them, grab them in a bunch to bring them at the back and run his fingers through them.

There would be nothing accept the darkness around him to comfort him of the teeth shattering anticipation.

Heart galloping as if no tomorrow, and lungs struggling as if there was a sudden shortage of air around him. The hair pulling frustration running back to him and he used to fall back on his bed.

Again going through the charade of tossing and turning around until light flimsy excuse of a sleep used to evade him.

And yet when he used to wake up in the morning to start his day. He ~very strangely so~ used to feel as fresh as ever. Well rested, satiated and calm and absolutely at peace.

He knew he had somehow fallen for her.

He had seen her innocence when she used to distribute prasad and teeka to everyone around her cubicle on her floor, greeting them with 'shubh prabhat' and 'devi maiyya ki kripa se apka din mangalmay ho.'

He had seen her brilliance in the way she had handled the menial tasks that he had given her.

He had seen her kindness when she had given away a pair of bangles, which she had liked and bought for herself, to a little girl who had also liked them but was far from being able to afford them. Across the street of where his car had happened to be parked one day.

"Fuck."

He slammed his hands on the window in front of him.

He knew he had fallen for her hard. A lil bit too hard for his own liking.

He knew he was love-struck.

He knew he was moon-struck.

P.S.: So. ladies and gentlemen Sanka devis and Laard governors. *bows down with exaggerated gRaCe* This sweet short rendition was written much to the threat invitation received from @phuljari di. Hope you enjoy. :)

IPKKND INCORRECT QUOTE (4/n)

*Pregnancy test - Positive*

Arnav (grinning) : KHU-

Khushi : What the fuck!?!?

*grin drops immediately*

Arnav (angry, irritated) : KHU-

Khushi (exasperated) : Haan. Hum jaante hain. Hume mat samjhaaiye. Dammit.

*humphs and leaves*

Arnav : What the-?

*realizes immediately that he is the only one who she could have learnt it from*

Arnav (exhales) : -fuck.

[phuljari]

i have been thinking about this! like arnav's character in general but the importance he gives to money is something i can't grasp from whatever i have come to know about him. a lot of his anger issues and basic character can be explained from the story about his parents. the loss of his mother, the grudge he holds against his father. somewhere, maybe he started to blame money for it too. afterall it was probably money that enabled arnav's dad to commit adultery?

considering the fact that arnav attended harvard, i don't think he exactly came from a poor family. initially mami was super obsessed with bringing a rich bahu so that her bahu doesn't have to go through what she suffered which is enough to say that arnav's nana-nani came from old money. yes, arnav remembers that mami sold her jewellery to help him set up buisness but that was probably because nobody would have supported his new endeavour except mami who is fashion-oriented and would make sense for her to support arnav. anyway, i digress.

i have a little fun theory that i think would make more sense than just his backstory that we've been presented with, maybe a bit far fetched... or not. i think that arnav probably had a girlfriend early in his career that he was super close to and had opened up to despite his usual aversion to closeness. and she might have betrayed his trust because she was after his money?

i have also noticed that in their family, only arnav and mami shame people for their "class" and think that everyone is only driven by money.

but his self-loathing is a whole different thing. it does come from the betrayal of people (love interests maybe?) but it has to be more than that. he thinks he doesn't deserve love? i don't know, maybe he never believed in love.

Y’all ever think the reason Arnav so vehemently believed that if a woman showed interest in him it was due to his money/status was because he placed such little worth in himself as a person and thought he was so unlovable that if someone “loved” him it HAD to be for the money?

IPKKND SS: Fall Out of Love

Chapter 1

When days got tough, and nights tougher, Khushi shivered on the poolside floor wondering what did she do wrong. In her religion, everything was a repercussion for a deed done.

The man she loved grew stranger everyday. At one point his anger was in his words, now they lived as impressions on her arms.

God, wouldn't she give her whole life if she got a day to see the softness she had seen when he had danced his way straight into his heart.

At this point she wondered if that ever happened, or if it was product of her crazy mind. Maybe Arnav had never loved her, maybe it was all a result of her obsession with him.

Her sister had been right, Khushi had been fixated far into Arnav, ever since the day she saw him. Even when he wanted nothing to do with her.

At first it was anger, then disrespect, then curiosity, then infatuation and finally...

A cold had settled into Delhi, the winds chilled her bones. Her thin salwar was no match. She could not find herself to take the blanket on the floor.

This time, it was not self preservation. It was insects.

If she tried to get it washed, questions would be raised. The househelp was familiar with the bedroom linen. Why would it be in the garden long enough to get infested? Mami had been suspicious, and Khushi could not bear Arnav directing another play of them being happily married.

She could never see the difference between his acting and reality.

-

The blanket was washed, dried, and neatly packed. The floor was cleared, and an outdoor bedroll was in the corner of the garden.

Tears of joy rolled down her cheeks as she smelled the fresh blanket. Her body cried in relief as she laid down in the mattress.

It was the first time she slept for more than three hours in a month.

-

"Slept well?" Khushi was caught off guard. Not by the question, but the person asking it.

Shyam Manohar Jha.

Khushi ran away, her mind coming to a conclusion it didn't want to.

She bumped into Arnav, anger blazing in his eyes.

Her question of the blanket being washed remain in thin air as Manorama commented on their proximity as lovebirds being unable to separate, not noticing the soft bruise that began to swell in her arms once he left her grip.

In another time, she would've thought she saw true concern in Arnav's eyes over the mention of insects.

But for now, her mind worried over other details.

Over who got her bedding clean and washed.

I was at the cinemas today and wondered, if.. just if, I could watch this

this

or this

on the big screen amid hootings/swoonings/heart attacks and dyings from the fans. Oh ohho, I would kill for an experience like that. Kill who, you ask? Shyam? Nah I liked him as a villian, Sheetal maybe. Add that whats-his-name arrogant, sexual harrasment lover big shot fashion guy from the Mrs. India track to the list.

A girl could dream.

Thanks @ipkkndlovescenes @phuljari for the gifs. God bless tumblr.

[phuljari]

oh but to think that arnav singh raizada has a blindfold just lying around? like he isn't using a makeshift fold (say from a dupatta or sm) but an actual black (velvet? satin?) blindfold really has to say something about him. what are your hobbies sir? (sexually speaking 🤭)

also i love gifs, they make me notice things that videos don't. look at those hands (those fucking hands!) he puts on the blindfold on khushi and slides his hands over her shoulders, ufff! and him taking his sweet sweet time looking at her lips like that? this is gold op! you're doing god's work lol😂

ps. sometimes i wish khushi was more receptive to these things. like, why do indian tv fem leads have to be a nervous wreck all the time? especially when it comes to desire (he's her husband ffs)

A very underrated scene. One of my favourite.

Arnav was looking at her like a predator. His eyes were tracking her lip, with her every move, his eyes were moving too.And the slight smirk when he had her at his mercy mixed with her gulping and trembling fingers, uff everything is chef's kiss.

This is a smut gem right here. I am a very dirty-minder individual. Right here every time my imagination just runs wild.Anything can happen.sky is the limit.😁

OS: Phuljari

Khushi smiled as she placed the last diya on the edge of the poolside. She glowed in the soft lights under the night sky, her skin shone next to the crisp red fabric neatly pleated around her.

She got up to leave when her ankle twisted and she yelped in pain.

“Kya hua”

She heard his hurried steps towards her.

Arnav came around the pool and stopped near her. She tried to walk when he heard her gasp.

Before she could try again she found her shoulders in his firm grip.

She looked at him in disbelief and blinked. He helped her walk towards the chair nearby and made her sit.

Khushi’s eyes popped in surprise as he knelt in front of her, all pain forgotten. This man never failed to surprise her. Was he going to ask her about her well being and taunt her of her class next?

A mystery clad in a three piece suit.

To her surprise  he took her foot and gently placed it on his knee, increasing her heartbeat. She hoped it wasn’t loud enough for his ears.

Arnav looked up at her, all sorts of emotions from his eyes bore into hers. Her own orbs, flickered mirroring the same emotions in softer form.

“Thoda dard hoga” he spoke softly, a low murmur meandering through her thudding heart.

He twisted her ankle causing another shriek, as she squeezed his shoulder.

The paint was gone, long forgotten. What was this kink in front of the whirlwind this man created every time she neared him.

Khushi started to move her foot away when she felt him tug.

As if it wasn't awkward enough already.

Arnav looked at her silently asking her to still, she looked at him answering with questions that had only multiplied in the last few minutes.

He pulled out her payal from his pocket and and gently tied it around her ankle, the joy in her gasp wasn't missed and he let out an inward smile.

Khusi’s eyes glowed with happiness at finally finding her prized anklet.

“Yeh aapke paas?”

She made sure to ask before excitement took over her.

Arnav stood up completely ignoring her question.

What would he tell her?

Khushi, a little annoyed, stood up in front of him, so much effort for a simple answer.

She waited for an answer folding her hands. He wasn't the only one who could fire commands.

Khushi felt like a person of authority in this royal sari and she wasn't letting anyone make her feel otherwise.

She raised an eyebrow, reminding her of all the waiting he was making her do.

Arnav shifted his gaze.

Was she ever going to let it go?

Khushi cleared her throat and before she could  give him another look he had taken a step towards her. All sorts of questions and answers had flown out her head.

Before his musky woody scent intoxicated her she took a step backwards. Clutching the sides of her sari she slowly started to lose all sense of authority that she flaunted two minutes ago.

With every step she took backwards he matched one forward, not letting the distance increase.

She gasped in shock when she could no longer move further, her back crashed against the wall, red and gold bangles clashing against cool masonry.

Arnav smirked in victory.

He moved closer until their noses almost brushed. Khushi closed her eyes in anticipation. Arnav brought his hands to her sides and slowly moved them to her face brushing the fringe out of his view.

Khushi closed her eyes tighter.  She parted her lips to catch air, any moment could be her last given this proximity.

Arnav closed his eyes in pleasure.  He breathed heavily on her face when the untimely ringing of his phone brought them back on earth.

Damn you Aman.

He looked at his phone and moved away. The phone kept ringing as he continued to stare at Khushi with an increased distance.

He couldn't believe what he was about to do.

But then Khushi was that one person who made him do the unimaginable.

All sense of nervousness wiped from her face. Khushi stood like a rock staring right back at him.

What the hell.

All her doubts about her increased heartbeat and supposed acidity had been cleared. There were no more questions.

_______________________

Moments later, after they had been distracted by formal pleasantries, Arnav seated in the same chair where he slipped on her payal.

The chilly winds reminded him of his increased heartbeat seeing her in his favorite color. The butterflies in his stomach, the nervousness, and the slight shiver that she brought with her, all things foreign to him.

Arnav stared into the pool and his heart skipped a beat when his eyes met hers.

Not now.

He stood up slightly annoyed at her invasion and closed his eyes, knuckles turning white.

Arnav wasn’t sure what angered him more, the fact that he was losing self control or that he wanted her but couldn't confess out in the open.

She placed her hand on his shoulder before he could walk away.  The tension in his muscles did not go unnoticed.  By now she knew how he reacted in certain situations.

“Don’t make anything of this”

He did what he did best.

She narrowed her eyes at him, surprising him by her calm demeanor.

“Tumhe kya laga aik ameer ladka tumhari payal liye liye ghoom raha hai”

His intimidation hadn’t moved a hair on her skin.

She rolled her eyes and let out a sarcastic laugh, making sure her intent reached his ears.

Khushi folded her arms and started to walk around him.

“Yah to aap ameer nahi hai, yah phir yeh payal nahi hai”

Did he not hear himself?

Only she had the power to make him speechless.

Arnav continued to stare at her, his anger slowly dissolving having no effect on her.

Khushi took in a moment before she stood in front of him, inches away. She made a mental note of how attractive he looked in surrender.

“It means nothing to me”

He gritted, almost making her laugh.

Khushi grabbed him by the collar of his exposed shirt, almost startling him. He concealed the shock but his nervousness wasn’t hidden from her, his heart thudding right below her wrist.

“Really”

She pulled him closer, her gaze shifting between his lips and eyes.

Khushi laughed inwardly making sure to not release him, lest he fell to the ground.

All sense of coherent thoughts had left him, as he tried to register the last few minutes.

“yes , nothing”

He finally spoke. His eyes said otherwise.

She turned him around, and pushed him against the glass doors, surprising him with this newfound force.

What the-

“Acha...nothing?”

With mock innocence she grazed the side of his neck with her thumb, not losing eye contact.  K

hushi came closer and brushed her nose with his. He closed his eyes at the contact. Victorious she moved away slightly.

She wasn’t going to make it easy for him.

He opened his eyes at the distance.

“Nothing”

His voice came a low murmur.

She moved closer again, this time almost brushing her lips against his.

Arnav was glad for the support the glass doors offered. He didn't want to imagine what would have happened if she hadn't caged him like that. With all his senses ignited, he didn't think he would be able to stand on his legs again.

Before he could devour in her signature jasmine scent she moved again.

What the-

What is she trying to do?

“It meant..nothing ..right?”

He narrowed his eyes followed by a head shake. Arnav was just frustrated at her teasing.

Khushi smiled and moved forward. She closed her eyes, Arnav bit back a smile and watched her move closer.

Khushi’s eye opened with yet another sound.

That wretched Aman.

Khushi moved back, allowing him to receive the call. However, before he could she snatched the phone from his hands.

Was he even surprised anymore?

She held the phone behind her back and grabbing his collar from the other gave him a kiss he could not forget.

Khushi smiled and walked away, stopping at the edge of the pool. She turned back to find a flabbergasted Arnav and slid her finger on the screen.

“Thanks Aman”

She spoke loud and clear, looking into his eyes. Aman on the other end smiled and shook his head.

How did ASR always end up in these situations.

She placed his phone on the table and vanished from sight, leaving a dazed Arnav who could now only hear his thudding heart.

geez i'm cackling! this is so true tbh, i was totally like, "wait is this shit happening? like for reals?"

and arnav and khushi meanwhile were like :

"can you hear me?" "always"

like sir? ma'am? what do you mean?

ig arnav and khushi's superpower is that it's a super lame power. my personal theory is that arnav, my man, was in a hyperglycemic daze (his food and meds schedule were so wrecked) and khushi somehow accidentally ended up high (bhaang? lol nahi, jarur jalebi me kuch dala hoga🤭) and they had this shared hallucination, which would be kinda cute, one time event.

par nahi, hum isse barbaad karenge address karke. tbh was the telepathy cringe? no, especially not the dance sequences. but was addressing the telepathy cringe? yes, absolutely!

you're telling me that the man who doesn't believe in god is somehow comfortable with the fact that he had a magical wireless conversation with his wife from what, a dungeon? and accepts without any sawal jawab? nai matlab scientists ko nahi bulana kya arnav? or maybe ar designs ne satellite bhi banayi thi inn dono ke liye and they were testing it😂

Ep 278: Arnav/Khushi and their Magical Telepathy

you know the special awareness was fine, the sensing each others mood was fine, the sensing when the other is in trouble was okay…even all the little shared hallucination dances and rabba ves - fiiiineee but that whole-ass telepathic conversation they had in ep 278???? whattt was that

…i mean I GET IT it felt like this was a conversation they had planned for the show since that “mohabbat dur jaane na de” promo, it was culmination of SO MANY THINGS, so many loops closed, so many arcs fulfilled, so many angsts resolved….okay like it addressed the root of their relationship and clarified what they meant to each other, it was SO important, so cute, so romantic, so well-acted, so meaningful….

except it was ALL TELEPATHIC they were literally like having SUPER POWERS at that point and its not even like a half-remembered dream its CANON that its a telepathic conversation they both remember and i can’t get over it bc its that ONE line too far for me…i’m sorry i know its a hindi tv serial the amount of logic and sense we got in this one was already way past exceeding the average expectations for tellywood, but STILLLLLLLL whaaaat howwwww huh???

they fully CONFIRMED it by having them both call back to it in the farmhouse episode. so it was real. they can TELEPATHY with each other!!!! and. they’re just like “DAMN we’re ajeeb” *shrug* *sexy times commence* 

but then why they never used it ever for anything useful like idk during the kidnapping to get free or communicate better or whatever…and what was the point of it being telepathy that developed so late? why couldnt they telepathy to avoid some of the misunderstandings? or did they need rocky’s blessings before telepathy could be developed….or it was a one-time deal only special from Devi Maiyyan….or its generated during near-death experiences….or when the lead actor has to go away to shoot a movie???? what are the rules of this telepathy? how does it wooooork!!!!

lol i’m sure they were trying to be mystical with it and its basically not meant to hold up to deep analysis but it was just kind of funny and annoying to me!!! if i was arnav and khushi when i got back from that kidnapping i’d be like “hey man fuck all the other drama FIRST OF ALL we gotta test this shit!  you go in that room and i’ll be here and let’s see if this is still happening. let’s do some variables and controls and verify this. wow should we apply to be in the avengers.”
