I'll keep my take on today's episode short.
The snake hoped to surprise and impress Khushi by lighting up her aunt's humble abode. Surprised she was but impressed she was not, especially when he went on to promise that he will bring light whenever she is confronted with darkness. Now why would she be impressed with a man who can only bring artificial light when she had the assurance and comfort of the man who himself was her light? Why else would those words of Shyam bring memory of Arnav's consoling hand on her head when she faced her darkest hour in the form of her foster father's hospitalisation? In sharp contrast to her muted response to Arnav's touch, she withdrew her hand sharply as soon as she felt the sliminess of the snake's touch when he held her hand in his. She dropped the jalebi box gifted by him and scampered away from him as fast as she could. She'd rather not take jalebis from such a man or for that matter any form of help he may offer in future. She can make her own jalebis, thank you very much.
She embarked on her jalebi making mission more to calm her tumultuous mind which could not stop thinking of her Laad Governor. He may not always appreciate her action or have the sweetest words to flatter her as she herself saw in the images of her future (thanks to her vivid imagination). But she knew that he was one hundred per cent genuine. Isn't it better to hold the genuine interest of a man who is made of pure iron than the obsessive interest of a man who is nothing but fake gold? The strength of iron will always support her when she needs it. The fake gold, on the other hand, will lose its sheen pretty soon and be fit for nothing.
No wonder then that even her sub-conscious mind instructed her jalebi making hand to spell out his name in the jalebi. There is no escaping now, Khushi. You are well and truly love sick!
