DESERT HEAT
Its an Ode from me to this story and I am doing it only because this story is way too close to my heart and as they rightly say KAL HO NA HO.Its just my way for showing my love towards it and the admiration for the author who has so aesthetically brought it alive.
Usually I am so engrossed in a story that my attention cant seem to flutter from Arnav and Khushi,but here for once the other characters are so well developes,the details,the striking differences among all are laid out in such a way that you cant help but become a part of them too.
Its not only Arnav and Khushi and their love story.Its about friendships,of feeling love and loss.Who says the family is only blood relations,the real family is who came and never left your side and this is exactly what Arnav has in form of his friends,his own little army and his very own family except his Nani.
Arnav Singh Raizada
Time and again I have wondered,whether ill ever be able to come out of this trance that has been created around me by ASR,and then comes a story which reflects him in another light still keeping the essence of him intact.
He is a man on a mission,who has been shoven away from his own land,seeing conspiracies and deceits by his own so called relatives and seeing the harshness of the world when his own step brother holding the crown which was always meant to be his.
Aakash Singh Raizada
who treats his the royal legacy as something that was always meant to be his and doesnt think a single time while applying any false technique or lecherous way to get what he wants.a man who doesnt deserve to be called a man because a real man never disrespects woman and he treats woman as a commodity to be ravished and thrown out like a pesk of dirt.
How much difference can exist between two people being from the same blood?
That is why it is said its not blood but the upbringing and your own struggles of life which makes you the person you are.
And that is what Arnav Singh Raizada is.
A man who holds the responsibility of everyone who is with him on the mission to get his land back.A man who will put himself first whenever he senses a danger,who wants to claim what is his rightfully own but only in the right way.He will not adhere to any cheap tactics or ways just because the situation demands it.He is a man of his words,whose honesty reflects in his eyes,who with his utter dedication and loyalty has managed to cater support of many people whom by now sees the dream of seeing ASR as the rightful heir of their land.
In his mission,he has his friends,his brothers,the ones he trusts who are his very family.
Imran
Silence is the virtue of some and its not a weakness but a strength.
This quote seems to be so perfect for him. His silence speaks a lot more than words do,a keen observer and a loyal friend.A person who sees every situation with an unbiased perspective,who knows how to take charge when circumstances went out of control and the one who can go to any lengths for his loved ones even if it means he himself gets hurt in the process.
Aman
The most considerate one among all of them,who sees and understands everything but will always answer and do the needful in such a way that no one gets hurt .He is concerned of everyones feeling around him but strangely is hugely unaware of his own regarding someone very special.
Raj
The tough guy it wont be wrong ,if I add this adjective to him.Would it?All of them are tough in their own way but Raj is someone who sees and reacts to things without any room for any other error of judgement.He claims what is his,he knows where his loyalty lies but somewhere down the line he still needs to see a larger picture of things.
Taj
He can truly be called the CHARMER.The fun loving and juvenile,who keeps the atmosphere light headed nomatter how tough the going gets.A person who spreads smiles all along ,still single bbut a person with no harmful intention ever.Not to forget he is our own personal cupid too.Hoping he gets his better half soon.
Five men,each with different characterstics,with their own qualities and short comings but bonded by the thread of trust,loyalty and brotherly love.When come together they can face any danger and go to any length for the other.Five fingers but when formed together becomes a fist.They overpower each others weaknesses by becoming each others strength. The men with only one mission to see ASR as its rightful place.
With the bond of friendship so impeccably woven in the story ,the characters have a separate journey of their own too with the respective love of their life.
IMRAN- ZARA
Two people who have been in love almost all their life,a love which didnt needed words to express what laid in others heart,where eyes does the talking,where gestures spoke of the bond that was shared.A love so powerful that forced Imran to let go of his love inviting accusations from everyone around because it was the right thing to di in his perspective.Being a man on a mission where dangers lurked in every corner,he couldnt let the woman he loved with all his heart face the articrosaties of the same.
Zara,whose faith in her love is so strong and powerful that inspite of being ridden off in the middle,she still hangs on that faith,her eyes always seeking the one face that has been her dream since as long as she can remember and whose beliefs I wish comes true and this unrequited love gets fulfilled.
RAJ-SIYA
Both as fiesty as the other.Where Raj is a no-nonsense man Sia is the woman who rules his heart.Both of them a perfect match as they fight,make up and carry on with their respective journeys.Sia a gypsy girl with a fiery attitude,a girl who knows how to stand up for herself whenever required ,her unconditional love for Raj making comply to his wishes.A woman with a strong hidden desire.She may not voice it but though she is Rajs in everyway that mattered, a woman needs the security that comes with marriage and somehow I sense the desire in her.Only,if Raj sees the larger realisation of things and gives her the rightful place in front of everyone which he already has in his heart.
MAYA-AMAN
Aman,our most considerate man among all and the most unconsiderate towards the woman who loves him with all her heart and soul.Maya a healer,a physic who heals everyone who comes to her,only if she could heal her aching heart that loves a man who manages to appear that he is so blissfully unaware of her feelings towards him.Eyes have the way of revealing we do our best to hide.This is so apt for this man because though he doesnt acknowledge her feelings,acts unaffected somewhere down the magic of Maya has began to string the threads of his heart.Its only about time when her magic finally dawns on him.
TAJ
Our cupid,who bought Raj and Siya together,who sowed the seeds of first jealousy in our dark princes heart that gave the much needed push to his relationship with Khushi,who keepsn on throwing hints to Aman about Mayas feelings is still in search of his other half and with him I wait too for the cupid to strike him soon.
ARNAV AND KHUSHI
The soulmates,the missing parts of each other,not the better but the best half of each other.All these words are synonyms to them.
Arnav Singh Raizada
Rugged,masculine,brooding, the man on a mission,seeing deceits and facing dangers as he move forward.He has seen pain,loss and hardships and still managed to retain the goodness and righteous ness in him.Its his goodness that made people offer his support to him,his unfearing attitude,never wavering undying spirit for his mission.
Khushi Kumari Gupta
The girl who name spells happiness but she is far away from literally living it in real.A young girl who lost her parents .Brought up by her aunt who treated her worse than one treat her a s a servant.Where a young child who lost her parents should be treated with love,care and affection,Khushi was made to work,being made hear words which dampened her spirit steadily that slowly lead to the loss of her trust in herself.Growing up facing hatred from her own relatives she was still a bearer of a beautiful heart,which loved her little sister adorably and didnt thought for a single second before throwing herself in danger to protect her.Apprehensive of what lays ahead and still to fulfill the promise her parents made ,she goes ahead with it on her aunts discretion with loads of doubts but nevertheless agreeing considering it her parents last wish knowing deep down the heart that she didnt have any other option except to go ahead.
Destiny plays its own games and that is how these two people met each other for the first time in the circumstances neither have thought of ever.
Khushi Kumari Gupta meets Arnav Singh Raizada.
She had been trapped by dangerous people where dangers lurkall around,anything can happen to her which could wipe her off her pride but that very instant comes her prince charming.Yes,he is not the quintennsational prince charming but our very own dark prince.He came for his own but how can he see something happening wrong in front of him and leave it to its fate.He rushed to help her out of instinct and there was a moment when time stood still.
Isnt it said that there is something that connects two people who are meant to be each other.Which happened with Arnav and Khushi too.
Khushi she didnt realised what it was for her everyone was a stranger but was it connection or her inner instinct that made her trust Arnav and stand by his side when came the matter of choosing.Arnav on the other hand saved her from those lecherous people but even he couldnt deny the unknown feeling that hit his heart which made him protect her from all odds from the very start.
And thus began the journey of these two people together in the deserts.
Everyone in the group was considerate towards her but for her the first time Arnav broke the rules when he rendered a woman to be allowed in their trail something which had never happened before.His strong urge to protect her,her innocence that called out to her,those eyes that seemed to be the answer of his every question.
Khushi has never thought that her life could take such a turn all off a sudden,she has accepted and could clearly see herself getting married and then leading her life which laid ahead but in a brisk of a moment everything has changed.She has long ago accepted that she was all alone in this world,that she has no one to turn too when she was in trouble, seeing her aunt in front walk away leaving her in avid danger,the harsh reality has hit her even more harder and then it has taken an entire different turn when this man a complete stranger to her has turned up to rescue her from the evil clutches.She didnt know him but she can see honesty in his eyes,he spoke less but those honest eyes did the thing and she gave it to her hearts instinct of following this man.
Khushi had it in her to warm up to everyone that came across her,she was innocent and simple still the kiss that has been her first ever touch with a man has her on her toes,as she lay there breathing the same air as Arnav did an unknown string pulled her to him,his rawness has something which created a warm feeling inside her heart .
Who would have known that two complete strangers would end up being the one without whom they couldnt fandom their existence anymore in just a mere span of few days.
The exact happened with Arnav and Khushi as they move ahead in the blazing heat of deserts,facing dangers and falling irrevocably in love with each other.
Love doesnt take ages to happen,it could be the one magical moment where you lose your heart to that someone where it always belonged.
Neither Arnav nor Khushi could point out when it happened with them but it did.
The journey in sands changed their life and it took a complete 360 degree turn for the better as if all that happened in their life was leading them towards each other.
The first emotions that stirred up seeing her in unconscious state,his utter strong urge to keep her safe making her ride with him,his getting lost in her ethereal beauty that basked inside out.The first pangs of jealousy of not being able to see her laughing with Taj,the rage to spun off anyone who even thought of hurting her,his wish to ebb away her every pain.
All these were the first emotions he felt ,he admitted to himself she was special,he named herAngelbecause that was what she was to him.She made himfeel warm inside his heart,she led him feeling the emotions he never thought he could.For the years in first time he thought of something else except his mission and that was because of her.Her beauty,her lieveliness,her courage when she saved that woman when no one was around.her selfless nature all made a place for themselves on their own accord in his heart that the pain which always resided there started to wash away,he could feel other emotions except pain and hardships which was only because of his Khushi.
Khushi she herself hasnt realised what she was capable of until she met the man of her dreams Arnav.She hadnt thought this at first but as she has been with him day and night riding with him,seen his possessiveness and his urge to protect her from all odds,his soothing care that can vanish away even the biggest of injury she has finally realised that he was the one for him,one who makes her complete in all senses.
For a young girl to be orphaned,to have no one to call too when those haunting memories resurfaced again and again,where her loss was made evident to her every single day,with no one around to care for her ,she could never express in words what Arnav means to her.He made her feel wanted and needed,his care,his soothing touches,being her protective shield all along.
Two persons who brought in what was missing in each other life for so long,their unwavering love which healed the scars and gave them courage to face everything together.
If Khushi brought in the warmness and a new direction in Arnavs life,made him see he can have other hopes and wishes except just to have his land back,Arnav made Khushi a woman .He made her feel protected and cherished.He instiiled her confidence back in her,made her realise she was capable of everything she desired and more.Her innocence called out to him and he became her sole protector.From teaching her self defence aids to being able to unleash the passion inside her that was even unknown to her .
They both have understood each other in a way no other person could ever do.Arnav has always been hard on himself,he never allowed himself a break,always on his guards because he held not only the responsibility of himself but the safety of his friends,the people who supported him and now Khushi.But,he was himself around her,he let his heart free of all the baggage that he carried around all along,he let her sooth his pains and bask in the warmth her presence provided to him.
Arnav has sensed and felt that bond with her ,he couldnt even bare someone spoke a word against her,even when his loyal friend Imran pointed out to him about stepping in dangerous territories he didnt paid any heed to him because in the matters of heart logic has no space for it.
He had trusted his heart ,knowing she would come to him on her own,giving her time to get out of the paradoxes and realise there was nothing immoral in it,to admit that what they shared was special,pure and beautiful.And she has rrom the first pure touch that she initated by streaking his stubbled cheek with crimson power to their most intimate touched,Khushi has come to him on her own.
He made her confident and brought back her faith in herself and she brought out a side of life he hadnt realised existed.Cooking him a meal to being worried of his well being all has brought out the emotions they felt for each other.Small gestures that says aloud.
Arnav is a man of his words and actions.He has never done anything under any hidden veils.What Khushi mean to him ahs been well witnessed by all of his friends and true to their nature they were happy for him.Arnav has never shied away from making anyone aware where does Khushi belonged too.whether be his possessive hold on her or those smoldering eyes that reveals every bit of desire and love he had in it for her.He is a real man, a man his woman always looked up at with pride.
Love can change anyone to anything
True to the saying both Arnav and Khushi have changed immensely.
Khushi who realised that for her life meant Arnav and without him she would cease to exist,she has voiced out her fear to him aloud when she has seen firsthand danger approach him and as they have progressed in their journey she has admitted to herself and confessed to her parents that what she felt for Arnav was something that was powerfuland strong more than anything else and that whatever transpired between them was because of love which was true and pure.
Arnav who has always live don his own terms now thought of someone elses wish before himself.his need for Khushi was unquenchable but he never took undue advantage of her,even when she was all ready he waited,because he felt she deserved better.He has come as an angel in his life and he wanted to give her everything he could.Deciding to get married to her because he could no longer imagine a life without her knowing this was what meant to her.
To him she was the most beautiful woman that ever existed and she would always remain one,therefore he wanted to give her the honour she deserved.
Arnav voiced his decision to his friends and finally the questions whose answers came to him without a flicker of doubt finally dawned the realisation of him being irrevocably and truly in love with her.
Of not being able to see her with someone else,to not see even a feather hurt her and being away from him hitting a hole in his heart,to keep her safe and protected with him always.
From holding hands while sleeping to finally on the threshold of being one n allways that mattered,they have come a long way.Their journey is still full of dangers ahead but with them being together I know they will battle all odds and love will reign forever.
