Shastri-ji agrees with his wife and decides to go meet the Purohit and propose Radhika to their son. They are stunned to hear that and at the same time delighted to welcome Radhika as the new Choti Bahu. The Uncle and the daughter-in-law keeps criticizing "you want to give us your second daughter, what if hse runs away too... ? etc.."; Then Dev's Grandma says that she is happy but his mother seems a bit upset. later the both women discuss and the mother reveals to Grandmother that she doesn't want to force Dev another time, then she explains that actually he didn't want to marry Vishaka, he was in love with another girl. [note : The mother knew about it but still doesn't want the dream girl's identity]. The grandmother is shocked to hear this and devastated thinking his grandson has suffered so much in silence and she agrees. They have to talk to Dev first before agreeing to this union.

There is a huge event for the opening of the freshly built mandir and Radhika's father decides to talk to Dev about the wedding matter. After several miss he finally manages to catch Dev and talk to him. Dev was actually trying to talk to Radhika who keeps running from him and telling him to leave her alone forever. The father tells him "i know i might ask too much from you, but i want to redeem for what my daughter has destroyed, for that, let me give you Radhika as your new Choti Bahu." Dev's jaw drops, he can't believe his ears and says a powerful YES !

Now time to talk to Radhika. Dev tries to approach her but she isn't willing to, It's time to do the ritual : it's the same one as one they did before, remember, they both were pulling a god's statue only a married couple could do. He takes her hand by force and leads her to the statue in front of everyone and they do it together. Radhika tries to resist but eventually smiles. Then he whispers to her ear : "You are my soulmate. Gods are blessing us today. Will you marry me ?". She goes away and he follows her and tries to explain her the situation that it's her father's decision. But she is stubborn "how can you ? it's enough. Please, you know for me you are my siseter's husband. Stop this nonsense now. ". "No Radhika, let me explain, we aren' committing any sin, they.. your father". "Enough". And she leaves running. Dev is helpless.

She arrives at home and hears the two families have gathered and his fathers says to Dev's Grandma : "Dev babu has accepted. Now i hope my Radhika will be willing to. It would be a delight for me". She is too shocked and Dev is behind her. "See, i was trying to explain to you;" He smiles and then his smile fades away because Radhika is annoyed.

"- Radhika, what is it ? Aren't you happy ? This is what we were wishing, waiting for. Finally we are allowed to be together.
- I'm sorry, i... won't marry you."

Meanwhile Dev has to continue working and he just acquired a land where he will build a new mandir. He has to go see the neighbours and so he sends Keshav because he himself has to take care of his father-in-law. Shastri-ji's condition is critical.

Keshav sees Radhika because actually the mandir is inside the orphanage. She tries to hide but eventually he catches her and tells her that her Father is at the hospital. Even then, she fights with herself and doesn't go out of the orphanage and makes Keshav promise not to tell anyone where she is (the deal is : you want to be a nun you have to cut all ties with your family). She cries and the priest who rescued her understands the situation and organizes a prayer for the sake of the father.

Dev's grandmother calls him and says that they are coming to see Vishaka - don't forget that until now dev hasn't told them yet. But then they discover everything and of course the Uncle, Mrinalini being bad-mouthing the Shastri family. The prayer are a success, Shastri-ji recovers but he is weak.

Dev has to go to the orphanage for dealing about the land and Keshv tries to prevent him from doing that but alas he sees Radhika and he is shocked at the same time happy, he comes everyday to convince her to come back but she refuses. He then tells her there's no need to think about Vishaka, she by herself returned the mangalsutra back. Radhika is shocked but silly girl won't give up. Dev tells Shastri-ji hoping Radhika will come back if her father tells her to but she refuses and her father can't do anything about that. Dev gets fed up and tells her that from now on, you won't be able to say anything, whatever will happen will be by the hands of Kanha. You will go out by yourself. I won't try anything anymore.

Shastri-ji is ashamed of what is happening to his family andd feels responsible and declares that he considers Vishaka dead from now on, she isn't her daughter anymore, he performs the ritual to a deceased person in thename of Vishaka. Evil grandma is getting hysteric, her lovely granddaughter is punished etc.... she keeps defending Vishaka and blaming Radhika. Then the dad thinks that it's unfair, it's his fault too he raised her badly, he has to pay for his sins and so he says that he will leave this world. He is preparing his suicide, near the river, praying and all, he will drown himself into the Gange river.

Dev's family and Evil Grandma and everyone are trying to stop him then Evil Grandma desperate runs to the orphanage and begs Radhika to save his son. Radhika is stunned to see Grandma kneeling in front of her and she runs out to save her father. On the road she encounters a minor accident, but on the car it was Dev so he drives her there. Then she arrives and stops him telling that "he is unfair to do that, she is still alive, he has to be a father for her also".

Everything gets back to normal instead for Radhika who believes she has gone back to before, nothing will be solved. Few days later, Shastri-ji and Radhika help Dev to prepare the new mandir and Shastri-ji and Radhika's mother hear that Dev is nice and because of what happened he won't be able to marry again etc.... They feel guilty and Radhika's mom takes the opportunity of doing the right thing she proposes to her husband :

"why don't we ask the Purohit if they would like to accept Radhika as their Choti Bahu."

SORRY FOR THE DELAY !!!! *bows*

Truth is being told about Radhika's kicking out of the Purohit's house. Shastri-ji (the father) slaps Vishaka and scolds her about not being the good wife she promised him to be after the incident when she ran out of the house. He apologizes to Dev and says to him that as he is the husband, he has to give the punishment to Vishaka. Dev says he will think about it. The family is concerned that Dev may not come and take Vishaka back. Radhika then goes to see him and pleads in front of him to forgive Vishaka. Dev gets angry "how can you ask me that ? Because of her you are suffering this much ! I don't care about me but when you are hurt, i can't forgive... I'm asking for a divorce !" Radhika is shocked. She gets back to the house and there the EvilGrandma keeps rambling "everything is your fault, you shoul leave us alone etc..." so Radhika takes the decision to go. SHe leaves a message is Dev's car and goes in front of EvilGrandma highly satisfied.

Dev comes to their house to tell them he has decided to leave Vishaka (decision Vishaka is highly hoping for but she can't stand to wait and thinks "screw everyone, i'll go to Mumbai and become a star by myself"). So he comes and they go search for Vishaka and then they realize she has ran out of the house again. Dev goes to search for her and sees the paper in his car and reads that Radhika is also gone. He gets crazy and searches for Radhika everywhere. Meanwhile this foolish girl (sorry but i want to kick her face) is wandering alone, it's getting dark, she is in front of a mandir and she faints because of exhaustion. She is taken care of by a pandit in a nun's house and an orphanage where she feels at ease and decides to stay there forever. She has to forget about her life and cut all ties with her family. The priest sees that Radhika is escaping from something and tells her, you can not escape from problems you must face them but Radhika is stubborn and stays there not telling anyone.

Days passed by and Shastri-ji is more and more getting sick because both his daughters ran out from the house and people are talking. Dev still tries to hide this from his family and is searching for them. He goes to Mumbai and there Vishaka tells him she doesn't want to come back and gives him the "mangalsutra" to make it clear she wants to divorce. [Vishaka in Mumbai met with Purab and surpringly is doing good there, she signs contract and all so of course she is living her dream she doesn't want to go back].

The father gets an heartattack.

After this long hiatus (so sorry again) lots of things happened in Choti bahu, i've been following it and i hope i'll be able to catch you up with the story without forgetting about any details. The head lines, the important parts i'm going to favour now in my reviews. xD

So Radhika has been kicked out of Dev's house because of Purab's appearance and Vishaka's betrayal. Dev comes back and knows something's wrong he decides to go to Vrindavan (Radhika's homevillage) to ask her about the incident. He goes to see Vishaka before and warns her that if it is yet another time her fault Radhika's in problem he will reveal to everyone that she was doing a MV, etc...
Vishaka is not afraid and takes this chance that he will be out of town to make her plan to go to Mumbai and leave this "spouse act" forever. She is counting on Mrinalini's help to get some contacts in the industry and some money too.

Dev is reaching Vrindavan and Radhika is surprised and afraid to see him, she doesn't want him to know the truth so she lies and tells him she left of her own will, she breaks her promise to stay with him because actually she doesn't want to stay there, she is not his wife. She purposedly tells him bad things so that he goes back. Dev then hands her her necklace and Radhika is yearning to take it back but she rejects it. Dev goes back to Delhi, shattered, after gaving his greetings to his father in law.

Dev tries to forget about everything by concentrating on his work, going early, getting home late because he doesn't want to see anyone.

In Vrindavan, there's a ritual for married women to be done in order to ensure their husbands happiness and long health that Radhika is planning to do but Evil Grandma warns her not to dare do the ritual, she locks her in the house. With Kanha's divine help, Radhika succeeds in going out and does the Savitri pooja, by the river, hidden from the other women. But, she is seen by the priest who tells that she has done an inauspicious thing, because she is not married, the other women's rituals have become bad omen, etc... she must be punished. Radhika's father takes her defense.

Actually before, he wanted to search for a husband for her, since she has come back home and doesn't wear the sindoor she wore claiming she wanted to be Kanha's wife. Radhika refused to get married and so Shastri-ji, the father, didn't understand why : "i agreed not to get you married to Kshitij because you said you wanted to devote yourself to a religious life. Now that you finally seem to come back to a human social life by erasing this "wedding-mark" you still don't want to get married ? What am i suppose to understand ? You must give me a reason, or else i won't accept your refusal this time." Radhika was in a dilemma and decided to tell him the truth about her being already married, etc... then he heard her praying in a mandir saying "that in her heart she is married, not showing it doesn't mean she doesn't considerer herself as his wife etc..." She was talking about Dev but luckily he misunderstood and thought she was talking about Kanha (=Krishna), and told her he is sorry and knows now what she feels.

So he takes Radhika's defense telling about Mira's story, in the ancient writings, this girl who was devoted to Krishna her entire life, considered as his wife while never being it, etc... But it doesn't change the fact, the village council has to punish Radhika's actions and it will be the whole family who will have to face the judgement tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile Dev has a project of developing another mandir (= scared temple) and he is invesgating fields, expertise and analysis arrive to the result that the best field is in Vrindavan so Dev has to go to Vrindavan.

The council is happening and Radhika doesn't want her father to be responsible for her acts, so she is doing some "harsh praying". Crawling all the way to the mandir under the harsh sun. She is doing it, tired, hurt but she wants to fulfill her demand so that her prayer will be taken in consideration, a hand reaches to her, she sees Kanha, takes the hand and realizes it's Dev. (whoohooo right right *nods* your Kanha is Dev, understand silly !!). He is stunned and asks her what's happening.
Shastriji is defending Radhika then the council asks him the question "If your daughter is so devotional, how come she was kicked out of the house of the RajPurohit, the family of great priests ?". Shastri-ji is shocked because his wife and mother told them Radhika came back on her own will. So he is speechless. Dev then comes with Radhika saying that she wasn't kicked out, she is very respected by his family, etc... he actually "lies" a little because he knows his grandmother truly respects Radhika but he doesn't know what happened exactly.
Everything is settled, a Rajpurohit took the defense of Radhika. Thinks are not being discussed anymore for the time being.

In Radhika's house, Shasriji is angry and demands explanation to his wife for lyng to her and now demands the truth. Radhika still tries to lie but he shuts her mouth (wow go shastri ji goooooo You're the best !!) and he is warning his wife not to dare lie to him again. Dev is also there and eager to finally know the whole story.

In Delhi, Vishaka is happy because Mrinalini gave her the card of someone in the movie industry, she is dreaming that she will be able to run away from this house, soon, with Dev outside, her dreams will come true. She is waiting for money from Mrinalini (who of course is joking with her) when Granda tells her to go to Vrindavan to meet with Dev and see her family, last thing she wanted to do. So she is reaching Vrindavan.

Devki-Ji, Rad/Vishaka's mother is telling the truth about the night, about Purab, about him being late at night to see Vishaka, about Radhika taking the blame for her sister, etc... Vishaka is at the door, smiling, she enters, and bows in front of her fther happily, putting on a "good daughter" act. The father is enraged and when he realizes she is there in front of him, he slaps Vishaka, so shocked, not understanding what the hell is happening.

Hello !! *too lazy to use the LJ-cuts*

I finally finished writing my essay, printed it and all three times, i'll deliver the three of them tomorrow then i'll have to wait in order to know the date of my oral presentation. So i'm almost half done. Of course i'm feeling relieved but also so scared because i don't know if it will be well received and i am quite sensitive when it comes to criticisms, i like constructive ones, i like to know why it's wrong and how it should be and not only "it's wrong period". So i'm anticipating it with anxiety. Furthermore i suck in explaining myself. I mean i know why i wrote what i wrote but i never succeed in telling it properly without hesitating. I need more confidence~~ it's so hard....

Also my mood has been down for a few weeks now, not only because of studies but also because of 2PM issues. It made me feel so tired, i couldn't even cry i am just witnessing it all, helpless, only wishing the best for all 7 of them. A band that i cherish so much for the past months, a band that i came to not love but adore much more than any other bands - yes up to that point - so i'm kind of devastated right now~~

Well on a joyful note hmmmm hubby's drama is airing right now~~ yay for Yunho !! Everybooody stands uuuup *dances and shakes her ass*....
Also in order to liven up my mood i'm watching Arashi clips. I so need them right now, and they never fail to put a smile upon my smile *starts singing the song* =)
I recently watched the movie 20th century boys, it was so weird so long and i think i got confused in the movie process but it was an ambitious project that i respect a lot !
Tomaaaaaa in another movie soon ? Tomaaaaa in a drama.... Tomaaaaaaaaaaa and Pi on a photoshoot........ Thank you JE for such pleasant surprises !!!!

Finally, i'll get back to Chotti bahu reviews as soon as possible, have no worries, i'm just not in the mood lately, i hope you understand. But stay tuned xP

Love ya~~

Dev goes searching for Radhika who has reached a weird place, it's like a discotheque, she asks for the producer and he comes by prexteting the music is too loud, he takes her upstairs in a room. The girl folllows him - fool. She is trying to tell him not to air the music video but the guy is becoming too demanding and is too close to her. Radhika panicks and falls on the bed. Dev arrives and after searching for her he sees their shadows from the paper upstairs he breaks the door and saves Radhika (OMO.. so sexy... deeeeeev).

Then he threatens the guy that he is a Rajpurohit, he will make him pay for that. The other guy is confused and frightened and says that the MV won't air. They go and in the car Radhika breaks down. At home everyone is awake and ask them where was Radhika. They are all troubled and Mrinalini takes the chance to say that this girl has no shame going so late at night,.... Dev then talks to Vishaka and threatens her to reveal why Radhika was out, her reputation is tarnished because of her, otherwise he will tell the truth. Finally, Vishaka lies to the family saying that Radhika was out because there was a fmous priest in town and she couldn't wait to see him perform but apprently she got lost and got scared. Dev looks at Vishaka really angry but says nothing. Radhika goes in her room, in a state of shock. Dev is restless he yearns to go and hug her, he is stopped by his brother bu this time Dev stands still and goes to Radhika. In this state she still succeeds in telling him to go away (wow). But then Dev teary tells her that he can't, with her in this state, if he can't be by her side now then he might die as well.

Keshav is at the door and knows now for whom Radhika refused him. Later he will call Devki-ji, rad' mom to blame her that he knows everything now, what was the point of sending him there~~ Evilgrandma's other plan fails so they decide to go there themselves.

Mrinalini is upset because her plan failed, the MV won't air. Furthermore Radhika is still an issue. She overheards Vishaka on the phone with Purab and sends a SMS via the phone later to tell him that she (as VIshaka) wants to see him in the house late at night a particular day. Days pass by and Radhika still doesn't eat and all, she gets taunts from her sister (influenced by Mrinalini who told her that Radhika gave her more issues than before, she is a pain in the as, she won't let her achieve her star dream) because of her state "stop this cinema, you are forcing me to act like a caring sister, eat !".... Mrinalini and Arjun and the Uncle are conspiracing together and they come to the conclusion that Radhika is always safe thanks to Dev so their mission is to send Dev away for some time. They succeed thanks to work. Arjun fakes a indigestion and he can't go to see new fields for the new temple project, Dev has to go. Dev feels he shouldn't go and Radhika also is tensed not wanting him away from her right now but he can't and goes. The night Radhika is closing the puja place when someone grabs her hand. It's Purab.

Radhika is shocked and asks him what he is doing. He tells that he was called here and starts flirting with Radhika (he used to do that before too). Then all the lights are on and the family sees Radhika with a stranger holding her hands. [Yeah well, like "there shall be light".. paf!]. Mrinalini in action : "how dare you, immoral, alone with a guy at this time, you aren't that pure as it appears, etc..." Vishaka sees it's Purab and gets nervous. Radhika is speechless she doesn't know what to say because - like always - she doesn't want to put her sister in the light. Mrinalini then uses Vishaka's nervousness : "Tell us frankly about the other night, there was no priest right ? She was going out with this guy ? right ? right ? RIGHT ??????"

YES ! shouts Vishaka and then she incriminates her sister that she was too ashame about Radhika and was concerned about her in-laws reputation but what can she do, etc..... Radhika looks at Vishaka stunned and hurt but then she knows someone will be thrown out and it can't be Vishaka so she says that this is true [seriously what a sisterlove ~~ it's kind of turning stupid imo huh]. Dev's grandma can't believe that and isn't convinced but with all this she can't pass through and is hands tied. Mrinalini takes Radhika by force and drags her out of the house just then EvilGrandma and Devki-ji arrives and they witness that. Radhika asks that she wants at least to go pick her Kanha statue. They let her go and her mother goes with her, then she guesses it was Purab and it was for Vishaka. The mother gets angry and slapps Vishaka and feels sorry for Radhika but they go back. Evilgrandma is in heaven : "at least she finally won't stay there now".

Dev is not asleep he feels somehtings going wrong, his heart is unsettled, he decides to go back immediately. Keshav and him then early morning drives back and Dev notices someone alike Radhika is in the bus, he can't imagine it's her really. Back hom, the first thing he says is.... "Grandma, where is Radhika ?". They all have agreed not to tell him the truth and Birju shouted at Dev's brother for being so coward, staying silent while he promised he will take care of Radhika in Dev's absence. Birju also feels guilt. They tell him she went back to Vrindavan with her family, she couldn't stay here forever. Hearing that Dev is hurt "how can she.. she promised me.." He doesn't believe that and goes to Radhika's room where he notices that the necklace he gave her is lying next to the Kanha mini-temple :

"Now i know, something's wrong, she couldn't forget it here. If noone wants to tell me the truth, it's ok. i'll find about it myself. From Radhika's mouth". Determined, his hands firmy hold the necklace.

Kahani Ab Tak : Dev is about to tell everyone that he and Radhika are in love with each other.

NB : Pic courtesy of india-forums for their lovely updates on Indian tvserials !! <3

Dev is about to tell as everyone has come downstairs but he is interrupted by his brother. Later, his brother tells him that he knows about his love, Dev is shocked and then happy because he can have a confident and an ally but his brother asks him to forget about Radhika, he is a RajPurohit, he has responsabilities about the family's happiness to which Dev replies "and what about my happiness ?".

Then Vivek asks Radhika to help convince Dev, she goes talking to Dev and he understands it's a bigger matter, it's also about Radhika's family honour and he agrees that they have to move on, sadly.They are cherishing this last moment they can be together, crying and smiling at the same time, then they both go their ways. Dev goes to his Grandmother's room and cries in her lap, the Grandmother not understanding what's happening.

The next days they are ignoring each other, trying not to be close more than they are. Vishaka has got the role and has to start shooting for the music video. She asks Radhika to cover for her once again, Radhika does like always but tries to reason her - like always - that Dev will be a good husband, he is trying, she should too etc... Vishaka tells her to deliver some file to Dev, she is not dressed yet so she can't. Reluctantly Radhika goes to the car and starts apologizing that she has tried to stay away but then she realizes the one in the car isn't Dev, it's Keshav ! He tells him he is working with Dev from now on, that he thought she knew already. Then Vishaka arrives and they all get in the car with Dev. Vishaka recognizes Keshav and is about to tell that he is the one her sister was supposed to get married to but Radhika stops her and tells her not to say anything abou that. Vishaka then tells her that she can tell Dev not to employ him, she knows Radhika would feel upset about knowing this guy is here, she can do that for her, but Radhika says it's fine, they are friends it's okay [note : Vishaka's precious sister act, for once, she was too cute caring about Radhika this time].

Dev's Grandmother also recognizes Keshav and gets a call from Evilgrandmother who asks her to help her : she wants Radhika to start liking Keshav and Grandmother says that Keshav is a good guy and it will sure make Radhika reconsiderate her status of Kanha's wife. Dev and Keshav have some private talk, Keshav reveals he has come here for a girl but won't reveal the name and Dev says that he knows how love is something complicated : living someone yet not being able to be with her....

Radhika is at the mandir waiting for Vishaka and Mrinalini comes and says she will wait with her. Radhika is stressed and finally she avoids Mrinlaini and goes to the filming location to get Vishaka back. Mrinalini has followed and they are exposed. Back to the house, Vishaka is waiting for the family to yell at her but Mrinalini hasn't said anything, she comes at her and tells her that she is her friends, she wants to help her achieve her dreams, she doesn't Vishaka to end up like her etc... Radhika is suspicious and goes warning Mrinalini not to think of playing with Vishaka which pisses Mrinalini off.

Dev and Grandma are talking and Grandma tells Dev that Radhika should get married, she needs a partner too and Keshav is the right guy. Dev looks surprised and sad. He goes talking to Radhika and witnesses Keshav and her talking like friends. Dev stands back quietly and then talks to Keshav who tells him that he knows Radhika and that she has called herself Kanha's wife instead for someone else but she is alone etc...Then Dev is hurt but also thinks they have to move on radically so he goes to Radhika's room and then asks her why this sindoor ? He knows why and that if she wishes him to forget about their love then she also has to do the same, meaning : "If i do it, you too prove me it is easy, remove this sindoor from your forehead."

Radhika is shocked. The next moning, for the early prayers she comes by and without sindoor. Grandma tells Evilgrandmother, they both think it is thanks to Keshav. Dev, although he asked her to do it, is concerned now and sad because she is spending time with Keshav and well he is jealous - comprehensible right ?

One day he asks Keshav about the girl he has come for, Keshav then tells him it's Radhika, he was supposed to get married to her. Dev is looking so hurt. Then Keshav says that Radhika doesn't seem to feel the same about him, she seems to be in a painful love.

The next day Vishaka receives a call from Purab :" Sweetiez, big issue, your music video will also be released in India." Vishaka is panicking, she has to stop the MV to air, she confides to Radhika and both try to sneak out from the house.

But they are found out by Mrinalini again who acts like Vishaka's friend and says that Radhika should go alone in order not to raise suspicions. [ Note : It's late and and the place isn't safe for a girl]. Vishaka sends Radhika who is too naive to understand. Dev sees her and Keshav too. They both wonder where she is and Dev goes asking to Vishaka. Vishaka lies and says she doesn't know anything but Dev looks so angry she gets frightened and tells him everything. Dev gets hysteric and shouts at her "How could you ? it's dangerous !". He runs down takes the car and flies to save his beloved.

Mrinalini is on the phone : "Listen, some girl, her sister will come to beg you not to air the MV. Deal with her !" She laughs like a mad woman.

To be continued~~ Stay tuned for the next season so much more exciting ! It's getting marvellous *winks*~~

Radhika is embarassed and ashamed. Dev says that now the truth is known, she can't deny it. Radhika says that she will never say it again, she was weak but it won't happen again. Yes it is true he has won but by saying that to him she broke the trust her family has in her. Whatever he has heard tonight won't change the fact he is married to his sister, and nothing will change for her.

Inside, everyone is still looking for Dev because Vishaka can only break her fast with Dev being here (even though she hasn't even kept the fast, but others don't know lol). Shastri-ji calls (Vishaka/ radhika's father) and he is being told about Dev disappearance so Evilgrandmother and Devki-ji know too.

Dev is telling to Radhika he will break his fast only with her. She refuses and turns around but then Dev feels dizzy again and Radhika catches him before he falls. The scene is being recorded by someone's cellphone.. it's Mrinalini.

She goes back inside and says she has something important to show to them but she is stopped by her husband. He tells her he knows everything and he won't let her spill it out. Mrinalini then shouts that he is blind, they are hugging right now in the garden and nobody has the right to know ? Vivek is shocked but he threatens her : if she reveals their love he will reveal she has an affair too. mrinalini is shocked. Vivek replies : "i may be paralyzed but don't underestimate me !" Then she tells him, frightened that her cellphone is with Grandma. Finally they succeed in taking the cellphone back without anyone seeing anything.

Dev is angy : "why do you still want to stay silent ? Now that i finally made you confess". Radhika's only answer, the only she knows apparently : "No, i can't do that to my sister, you are her husband, i can't hide like that blaaaaa blaaaaaa".
He comes back in, defeated, apologized to everyone for making them worried and says he needed to take fresh air. He goes breaking Vishaka's fast but he hides the sweets that were meant for him, meaning he hasn't broken his yet. Radhika sees that.

Later, Dev gets a call from Vishaka's house, they were inquiring about the situation. Dev has agreed to employ one of their aquaintance, he receives the guy in question in his office, it's Keshav (= hahah Evilgrandma' plan is starting).

Back in the mansion, in the garden, Radhika has come to meet Dev, surprised he sees her with the fast plate food. They are breaking it together. Then Dev tells him that she is right, they should not hide it, it's a bad thing. Radhika is relieved he is coming to his senses. Dev stands up and says that we should make everything right and correct it, reveal our love. He goes in the house, followed by a stunned Radhika and shouts : "everyone, Daadi, Mother, Brother, come down, i have something to say to you ALL !". radhika bgs him not to say anything. But Dev is determined.

Five Words Meme

2009-08-08T13:27:32Z

→ Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you. [from kyrin ♥]

yamapi!
Ahhh~~ Yamashita Tomohisa... sama (lol)...... ahhhhh~~ Yamapi.
He is someone very important to me because he is the first japanese drama actor i had a crush on and ever since i love him. I fell in love with him when i watched Kurosagi - so far my favourite j-drama - and well at first i didn't know he was in a band. I knew he was a singer with "Daite Senorita" and "Seishun amigo". Then i discovered NewS and now i am glued to JE's entertainment.
Yamapi is a personality figure i respect, i admire and i love. I am always intrigued because he can seem so cold and so dorky at the same time... I find him mysterious and also he scares me. =)

yunho XD
My hubby !!! My Korean hubby. My Korean crush. My Korean everything. Yunho means so much for me : attentionate leader, wounded heart, skilled dancer, killer smile, heartwarming dorkyness, powerful rapper and singer.
Yunho made me lose my head and i doubt i have recovered yet. One of my favourite korean song is his, his self-composed song he performed with his friend Donghae (from SUJU) "Spokesman". Yunho is the one who conveys my ideal image of the perfect boyfriend, with strong arms and a touching smile, makes me want to cuddle in his arms while he goes rapping in my ear "Sa.....rang....hae...yo" ! xD
[I also know we have the same favourite movie in common..... "Jurassic Park".. what else do i need ? *winks*]

indian dramas :D
I started following intensively indian dramas five to six years ago. At first, when i was visiting my maternal grandmother, i always watched some weird tvshows on her tv, they made me laugh and i didn't understand everything in hindi. They were indian dramas. LoL. Now i am just like my grandmother, talking to the screen and going crazy when i miss an episode of an indian drama.... @_@...
My first indian drama was called Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin (= There is no one like Jassi). It lasted from 2003 to 2006. It was one of the most popular show in India and the plot is a re-adaptation of a south-american tvshow... quite popular plot because it has been remade recently in America with the tvshow Ugly Betty.
Indian dramas are also close to my heart because it is a mother-daughter moment of the day or night and intruders are unwelcomed lmao (you should see us when we are watching an episode and someone rings at the door, either my mom or i want to murder whoever dared to disturb us xP). It's a moment we share together and we laugh and get hysteric together. =)

toma~
TOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~ What can i say. Toma is one of the most talented japanese artist in my opinion. I just want him to be known worldwide and to receive all the love he deserves. Toma is the personality figure whose smile i treasure the most - don't now why but i fell in love with his smile. I find him easy-going, natural and sooooo hard working. I always feel sad though for him and i just want to hug him like in SC premium, i couldn't help myself and i cried the whole time.
Toma is also with my Yamapi my first and only favourite pairing. As i stand here typing those words in my computer, i feel happy to write that they are best friends, what could be more fabulous than the artists you love the most being friends.... ?
Finally Toma is good-looking even though he is dressed with an awful blue or red winter coat (cf. Voice).... ^o^

france!
I am french. I live in Reunion island. I love my life and my island. It is sunny (even if now i am so cold =="), it is peaceful and well it is like everywhere else (good people, bad people) but it's my home. It is a place i feel safe, it is a place i know.
I went to France two times only but it scared me. It was too big, it was too crowded, i felt so little there, wandering alone in the streets. I wanted to go home. It was really a weird feeling, i felt stupid but what can i do, i am used to little cities. It's like a "i am being dominated by France but i dominate Reunion island" kind of feeling.
Also i am a shy kind of person so even in Reunion island i feel like i'm not welcomed sometimes. I always feel like that, unwelcomed, unless i am in my room, safe.
There's something also that could be shocking, but i haven't even been to all the touristic places my island offers to you, loool, tourists may have seen more of Reunion island than me in my 22 years, LMAO, *winks*....

Choti Bahu ¤¤¤¤ season 2 Part 8

2009-08-02T14:20:20Z

Kahani Ab Tak : RaDev are doing a married couple puja while Radhika's mother is performing the black puja to undo the wedding but she fails, while RaDev's ceremony is blessed by the Gods.

NB : Pic courtesy of india-forums for their lovely updates on Indian tvserials !! <3

Back to the house, there is yet another ritual to perform [i know... there are a lot right ? ^^;]. This time the spouses have to draw a banyan tree with a special woodpulp and then bless the tree drawn two times. Dev hears this and wonders if Radhika has the wood. He steals some but his brother sees him. He tries to stop Dev from going but Dev isn't listening and is like attracted to Radhika's room, where she is already praying in front of her own drawing [note : her tree drawing is beautiful while Vishaka's looked nothing like a tree, more like a palmtree]. She tells him to go away, he shouldn't be here [blablaablaaa you know~~]. Dev tells her he brought her the wood but she asks him to leave. Sad he goes back until she calls him back and asks for the wood [= happy Dev lol]. As they are talking/ arguing about the ceremony, the discussion is witnessed by the brother who has followed Dev. His assumptions are true and he gets angry. He seeks for Birju and demands the truth from him (poor Birju) who has to reveal that Radhika and Dev are in love, pure love [thank you Birju for the precision ;)] because the brother was finding it disgusting. Vivek then tells Birju that even though it's pure love, it's not right, he will talk to Dev and make this stop.

Video highlight : Dev steals the pulp and goes to Radhika's room, Vishaka is getting laughed at her drawing, The brother knows the truth

Even though the rituals are done, Vishaka has to keep the fast but Grandma and Dev's mother reassure her that she can have milk or fruits. Dev refuses to eat fruits or drink milk because he is doing the fast totally (like Radhika) which means only water and kandh (= roots). The family is concerned because he just recovered from his fever but Dev stands to his decision. They ask Vishaka to change his mind. But in her room she tells Radhika that it doesn't concern her. He always does what he wants, it's a waste of time for her. Radhika goes then. She enters his room.

"Do you have something to say to me ?", Dev knew she would come.
"Why are you doing this fast, don't do that".
"I told you i want to support you".
"And I told you this act won't change my mind. Please stop being capricious. I really don't care about you."
"Then if that's the case my health isn't of your concern either, why are you telling me all this ?"
"Because i'm getting tired of you."
"Then, from now on i won't ever appear in front of your eyes again."

Radhika gets frightened by his answer. He tells her that he isn't the only one who is tiring. She did all those rituals because she has feelings for her but yet she isn't telling me. What he only wants is a sentence she isn't giving her. Then if she wants him to stop being "stubborn" she must stop being too, tell him or just leave him alone. Radhika is hurt and leaves.

In Vrindavan, Devki-ji is walking towards home, still shocked about the black failed puja, she is feeling guilty and asks for forgiveness to the Gods. She gets into a minor accident and is brought home by Keshav [the guy Radhika was supposed to marry, remember ?.... *winks to a specific youuuuu*]. Devki-ji tells what happened to Evilgrandmother who is more than upset and states that she will make sure She will break their union !. Keshav asks for Radhika but they tell him she is with her sister. He looks disappointed. Amma sees that he cares a lot for Radhika and has plan in mind : she will recommend him to Dev as an assitant so that he will be close to Radhika.

Video highlight : Dev and Radhika's dialogue + Devki-ji and Keshov minor accident + Radhika seeking for answers in front of her Kanha.

Dev begins his operation "hiding from Radhika", it's funny because he also doesn't really know how to hide from her because they leave in the same place [and also it means he won't see her either, lol he is such a cutie <3] but he finds an exit with work [going early, coming back late]. He witnesses Radhika seeking for him and feels sorry for her but he tells to himself that it has to be done, she has to be confronted with her own feelings. Meanwhile Vishaka is happily eating in secret in the kitchen, she broke the fast since the beginning. [Lmao !!!!] Back in the room she is praising her look in front of the mirror and gets a call by Purab : the rehearsals for the music video begin tomorrow at 4pm.

In the main room the phone rings Radhika talks to her mother, silent. She asks her about the black puja but no answer. radhika begins to cry begging her to talk to her that she is not a bad girl, she only wants Vishaka's happinness, etc... DEvki-ji then confesses her that their bong couldn't be broken. Radhika is shocked and in front of her Kanha statue"

i was actually hoping for this black puja to work so that i could be free but i can't, and i can't tell him that i love him, please help me, find a way for me."

She unconsciously is waiting for Dev late at night, near the main room's temple, she falls asleep a tears coming down. Dev comes back and sees her state and he is fighting withhimself from running to her and hugging her.

The next morning, Dev is wearing the new clothe her "wife" bought for him. Vishaka is tensed, the final ritual in order to break the fast is at 4pm too. Vishaka compliments Dev's kurta and Dev is surprised because she was supposed to buy it for him. Vishaka stutters and tells him that it's because this kurta was chosen by Radhika, which makes him smile like a cute baby [<3]. Vishaka then goes telling Radhika she also has to wear new clothes so she can choose from her dressing room. Radhika is getting ready and is wearing..... the red sari Dev gave her [clever girl, one point for you]. She tells to her Kanha that she is wearing it for the pooja which she will do in here, then she will change clothes after when she goes down [tssk tssk].

Downstairs, Dev is looking at some files work but his mother orders him to stop that for today. He gets up and gets dizzy, and faints down the ground. Vishaka is helpless, everybody are asking her for his medecines and of course she has no idea about where they are. Birju rushes to Radhika's room and asks her about the medecnes, she gives them to him and in a hurry she rushes down with him.

Everyone tells him that he should not do this fast but Dev who regained consciousness doesn't want to eat anything. He isn't looking at Radhika and when she is told to bring him juice, he stands up and says he will go to his room but then he falls again. Radhika is terrified, confused, sad. Dev stands up again and sees from the windows her reflection and that she is wearing his gift. He is more determined now to overcome this fast. He goes back to his room and smiles. [note : Mrinalini also notices the clothe and asks Radhika how can she have such an expensive clothe on her, Vishaka then answers back that it's hers, she lent it to her sister. Then angry at Mrinalini, Vishaka orders Radhika not to change clothe, she wants to defy Mrinalini.]

Later, the puja is set, Vishaka is asked to bring Dev but she comes back empty handed because he has disappeared. Everyone is searching for him but noone finds him. Radhika is panicking and telling to her Kanha that she is responsible, he is ill because of her. She is running everywhere and goes out to the garden. She then falls in front of the fountain and speaks loud to her Kanha

"Where did he go ? Everyone is so worried ! It's my fault, but i can't do anything, i can't tell him that i love.. but You know how much i love him, how much ! Please help me..."
She breaks down and cries and cries, then someone comes from behind :
"Finally, you told the truth, our truth, that we love each other."
Dev comes beside her and smiles at her. Radhika looks at him defeated.

Video highlight : It begins with the family looking for Dev who is missing then the last scene *o*.....

Choti bahu ¤¤¤¤ season 2 Part 7

2009-07-26T13:04:35Z

Kahani Ab Tak : Dev's brother, Vivek, sees Radhika and Dev together.

NB : Pic courtesy of india-forums for their lovely updates on Indian tvserials !! <3

Radhika and Dev are still staring at each other. Vivek goes away but does some noise so the loving couple wakes up from their dream. They are startled but they see noone. Radhika, scared, pledges Dev to stop seeing her like that and she goes away running. Vivek is back to his room and is confused. He argues again with Mrinalini who tells him that he is not only paralyzed but blind because something big is happening in front of his eyes and he sees nothing but she will make sure the truth will be exposed.

Everybody in the mansion is busy because they have to prepare for yet another ritual : "savitri puja". It's a puja that married women do for the health and wealth of their husband. It will be Choti Bahu's first "savitri puja" hence all the excitement. But Vishaka of course doesn't understand, nor care. =) Radhika hears about all the preparations and of course, she wants to do it for Dev, she is his wife after all. So she takes the plate and ritual offerings too, secretly and goes away too but she bumps into Dev who sees it and asks her "you are doing this puja too aren't you ?" Radhika denies it. Mischievious Dev (<3) "Then what's that in your hands ? I know you do this for me." Radhika answers "I am Kanha's wife, it's for him." Then she goes away and cries to Kanha that she doesn't want to lie to him but she has no choice and she has to do this ritual and the fast for him.

Dadi is searching for Vishaka because she wants to make her understand that this puja is important. Vishaka is tensed because Purab told her that she will soon have a look test for a music video and she has to do the puja too. The puja is about to begin, the wives have to make the husbands sweets to start their own fast. Vishaka is about to do this to Dev who keeps glancing at Radhika and he stops Vishaka's hand : "I won't eat it. I've decided to fast too."

Later in Vishaka's rooom, Radhika is searching for her and Dev follows her and talks to her whike he isfacing her back :
"You know why i kept this fast don't you ?
- For Vishaka, my sister.... your wife, right ?
- Stop lying to yourself. It's for you, only for you. How can i eat when you are not."
She turns around and they stare at each other. Radhika unknowingly is relieved and happy he loves her this much so she turns back and smiles. But then she comes back to her senses and tells him, there's no need, she isn't even doing it for him. Dev then hands her a bag in which there's a sari (indian clothes). She asks him why is he giving her that.
"It's because women on this puja are supposed to wear new clothes and i know you don't have one. So i bought this for you".
She refuses but then he tells her that he bought it for her and it's up to her to do whatever she wants with it. He then leaves. Radhika looks at the sari and smiles.

Video highlights : Dev tells he is fasting too and explains to Radhika for whom.

Later downstairs, while some ritual is still going on, Mrinalini is asked to do the puja to which she replies that there's no need, what husband's health ? It's useless now for her. She says she is going to do some shopping. Vivek is trying to make Dev understand this puja is important, that he hopes Dev is good husband, etc.... Dev remains silent and keeps on looking at Radhika.

Vishaka has to go out to the look test but the puja isn't done yet. She asks Purab that she can't do it but Purab certifies her there's nothing to worry about, the music video is for the international market only, noone will see it in India, she just have to come here for the test right now, otherwise it's over. Vishaka agrees and asks Dadi if she can go out buying new clothes for Dev because he is also keeping the fast. Dadi is happy, thinking Vishaka is finally acting like a spouse. Vishaka asks Radhika to come along.

Then she tells to Rahdika to go by some clothes for Dev and waits for her in front of the temple, she has to go do something important for her future acting career. Radhika is shocked and tries to reason her but she doesn't succeed. Vishaka goes and Radhika is left picking a clothe for Dev (hahahaha, since she is the real wife, it was a job meant for her, right ? ;]).

Vishaka is late and Dadi, Dev's mother and Dev are already reaching the temple. But Vishaka arrives secretly at time, saving Radhika from yet another lie (note : Dev is happy Radhika is there, she wasn't suppose to come as she isn't a married woman.. *__*). The pooja is done in the temple and Radhika is staying far away. Then when everyone leaves, she goes in starts doing it for her husband.

She closes her eyes and holds the tie she has entangled to the tree. Dev comes and holds it together. Radhika is startled.
"Whom are you praying long life for ? Kanha ? But he is a God. So it's for a human being right ? We both know for who. So let's do it together, for the people we are fasting for because that's how it should be done."
Radhika stares at him, lost and can't think of rejecting him, finally they do it like the married couple they are suppose to be (they are *winks*).

At the same time, while RaDev are making vows for each other, Devki-ji (Rad's mother) is with the priest for the puja in order to undo the marriage. The question is which of the Puja will reach the Gods' mind ?........ The fire of the black puja shuts down because of the rain that suddenly pours down. The priest is horrified and shouts at Devki-ji :
"The union you are trying to break is too pure and is blessed by the GODS. They are warning us. See their answer, we never should have thought of going against what has been done !!!!!!!!!"

RaDev's puja goes on as well as it can be. xD~~ // Devki-ji is scared to death.

Video highlights : Purab is worried about Vishaka coming or not. She comes but has to change clothes. Then Radhika is waiting for Vishaka as the family has already arrived. Dev is happy seeing Radhika there. Vishaka comes in time, etc...

Yo !

Another update from me on so short notice, what's happening to me ? LoL !!!

I'll put a Choti Bahu review soon maybe at the end of the week. Also there's yet another indian soap i've become addicted to, blame it on my mom. she is following the story and i happen to watch some episodes in the past weeks and now i'm more hooked than her. It's called "Agle janam Mohe bitiya hi kijo" (=let me be reborn as a girl once again) and it's about Lali a village girl who's been married since she was born and is dreaming to finally meet her husband but her parents, in need of money for the other children, sold her. It's awesome ! It's about the female condition in India, and it's really really realistic, things like that happen more than often.
I also recently listened to the new song of the band Brown-eyed girls and i'm loving it !!!! The MV just kicks other girls' band ass. I already liked this band when they appeared on Idol army with 2pm ;) I love their new style !!!
I am actually listening to a lot of Nickelback's songs, i don't why, a sudden need of this guy's profound voice <3 !!!
I watched the taiwanese drama Love or Bread with ArJoe and, people, it's not worthwatching....
I'm currently reading the recent Maxime Chattam novel "La Promesse des Ténèbres" and OMG it's scary but i'm loving it because well this guy is just a writing genius.
I miss going out, ever since i have to write my final paper, i didn't go out, didn't have fun, i just don't have the energy nor the will. I know that once this is over i'll go out shopping and enjoying my city....
Right now, in Reunion island, it's cold, windy, rainy, blaaaah !

That's it for tonight, ilu all <3

Kahani Ab Tak : Dev challenges Radhika => "you will tell me that you love me willingly : i'll make sure of that".

NB : Pic courtesy of india-forums for their lovely updates on Indian tvserials !! <3

(sorry for the delay !!!!!! ==")

Radhika gets away, she is running and bumps into Mrinalini, who sees Dev coming from the terrace too. Radhika goes to her room (the storage room) and asks her Kanha that he helps her not telling Dev how she feels about him, it will worsen the matter.

Radhika is in the kitchen and Mrinalini is planning something, she purposedly bumps into her, making the plate Radhika was holding fell on her. She starts yelling after Radhika who keeps apologizing but Birju saw evrything and defends Radhika : "i saw it you bumped into her with your own will...". Mrinalini then gets angry. Dev comes and tries to pacify the matter but Mrinalini then says "i'm being accused of lying because of her, a servant !". Dev then shouts at her that Radhika isn't a servant but Mrinalini tells him that she does every chores of this house withous even being part of it, she leaves in the store room. Then what is she ? Radhika then to stop this apologizes and goes away. She is crying in the room. Dev comes by and takes her clothes and starts packing. He tells her that Mrinalini has a point, she should be living in a real room. Then the suitcase falls on his feet and he is hurt. Radhika literally plunges on it and starts caring about his foot which makes him smile : "it's the reaction one have when he/she is in love.....you love me don't you ?".

Mrinalini actually uses this situation to make people susipicious and she starts telling that Dev is taking too much care of his sister in law, he even shifted her in a room next to his, etc... then Vishaka who can't stand Mrinalini tells that it was her decision. Mrinalini = speechless. She then tries to make Vishaka suspicious about it but she doesn't succeed.
Dev tells to Radhika, in the new room, that he is happy. Radhika turns to him and tells him she is here for her sister's sake, nothing to do with him. He knows she is lying, he can see it in her eyes.
On the other hand, in Vrindavan, Evilgrandmother and Devki-ji received he wedding pics. She went to see a priest and asked him to do "ulte phere" (=to inverse the vows so that there is no wedding). The priest is horrified and rejects at first but she tells him the wedding was a mistake and people are suffering, he then consents to it and gives her the date of the ritual.
Mrinalini and Arjun, the cousin, are having a personal discussion (you know she is cheating Vivek, her husband and Dev's brother, with Arjun). Vivek sees everything and yells at her, which surprises her, because he usually is the passive kind.
Dev is finding lots of excuses to approach Radhika and make her feel uncomfortable so that she will spit her love out but Radhika is holding on. Back in her room though she pledges to her Kanha that she doesn't know how long she will be able to hide the truth from him. Then she realizes that the necklace he gave her is missing. She becames nervous and runs back to the store room, searching for it like a crazy girl "my necklace.. my necklace...". Then Dev stands behind her and hands it to her : "you were searching for this, weren't you ? Because I gave it to you right ?". Radhika tries not to look at him in the eyes ans answers that it's important to her only because it's a Kanha necklace. Dev leaves, smiling.

Radhika is outside, spreading the wet clothes. Of course, Dev comes by. Radhika starts geeting annoyed and asks him to leave. He tells her that he is in his house, he goes everywhere he wants. He sees the clothes and starts helping her, in the middle of the work they come face to face, hands in hands. They stare at each other, lost in each other's gaze, while we can see someone else is also witnessing the scene....... Vivek, Dev's brother.

Bam bam baaaaaaaaaaam

2009-07-19T17:26:07Z

Hello people !!!!
How are you doing ?

First of all, i want to apologize to my Choti Bahu reviews followers, it's been a week i haven't made a review. I will try to give it to you as soon as possible. I'm so sorry.
My life has been quite chaotic mentally, partly because of my final paper and my personal life so i kind of am not in the mood to "write". I lost some weight, yay for me ! I lost some hair too awwwww for me.......
I also got a call a month ago, my boss told me that the paper i use to write every week, there's no need to it anymore, he feels people aren't anymore interested about the indian entertainment world, so i'm unemployed right now *cries*.....
Even my website looks empty, no updates, it's horrible.

I was going to take care of it today but then a new indian soap has begun last week and with my mom, today we did an "episode-marathon" afternoon because it is SO good ! It's called Pavitra Rishta (= pure/ holy relationship) and it's about a girl Archana who had to leave her studies when she was in middle school to take care of her family, hence she is the only less educated and also the older daughter, so her mother wants her to get married. She is looking for a suitable guy for her daughter (money, education....). On the other hand there's a guy, Manav, a mechanist and a poor guy with a family (drunken father, ...) and he falls in love at first sight with Archana but he knows he doesn't suit her, he is so poor. Even though, we, the viewers, know they are made for each other, the question is, how they will get together and how will Archana's mother accept this guy. [Manav is adorable so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute].

I'm thinking maybe i'll make reviews of it too but not now, i have already Choti Bahu and i'm not doing well ==" sorry again ! You'll know how it is going ASAP !!

Otherwise, i haven't watched any new dramas either but i became nostalgic (thank you girls <3) and i watched Coffee Prince again, and i drooled over Kim Jae Wook and Goong Yoo for the fifth time, then i rewatched Goong and i loved Joo Hi Hoon once again. It was refreshing watching those two dramas again, i miss Yoon Eun Hye.. I'm counting the days to August and her new "Lady Castle/ My fair Lady" drama !!

Also, i watched an awesome korean movie, called "The Chaser" (Chugyeogja), love love love it !!!! It's catchy, funy, dark, bloody and thrilling !!!! 10/10 !!!!!!

I listened to the new Clazziquai album, "Mucho Punk" and it's wonderful.

I am in love with the photoshoots of Yamapi dressed with the vintage style, the hat, the hair, the face, *kyaaaaaaaaaaa*.
I loved Aya Ueto's new CM with Tohoshinki, she was too cute for her own sake! xDDD~~
I recently listened to a new Masamixes creation, he has mixed Brandy's "Departed" song with Utada Hikaru's "The Flavor of Life" and the creation is absolutely wonderful !!!!!

Finally, *chu*

Kahani Ab Tak : Rad's mother knows the truth about Radhika and Dev being in love together and tells Radhika she will give her right of daughter-in-law.

NB : Pic courtesy of india-forums for their lovely updates on Indian tvserials !! <3

She tells Radhika that she will send Dev to her so that Rad will tell the truth herself, meanwhile she will go talk to her husband. Radhika is finally thinking all those lies will be over. As she spots Dev from afar, she is too afraid to talk to him face to face so she reveals everything without even seeing to whom she is talking to. She turns back and is being slapped, it was Evilgrandmother.

Radhika's mother on the other hand sees that her husband is happy to witness Vishaka trying to be a good daughter-in-law and she isn't able to tell him the truth. [Vishaka actually is being rude to the poor and her in-laws are disturbed seeing her like that].
Finally the mother comes right before evilgrandmother slaps Radhika again and tells her she will talk to Radhika alone. She then brokes down in front of Radhika and asks for forgiveness because she can't do that, her husband and Vishaka's life will be ruined. Radhika looks at her, heartbroken. Left alone, she cries loud and removes brutally the pendant Dev gave to her, leaving a blood mark on her neck.

Everyone is gathering for the meal. No signs of Radhika, then of course my sweet perfect guy [it's official now, i'm in love with Dev... loool !!] can't focuse without her lover. He sees her passing by and goes after her. Then he gets shocked because on her check, there's the race of Evilgrandmother's slap, it's totally red. He is infuriated : "how dare someone hit you ? who is it ? " She tells him not to bother and calms him. But he wants to know what she was about to tell him because her mother told him to go to her unfortunately his mother needed him. Radhika tells him, it doesn't matter anymore and she goes. He then asks her if she will fulfill his promise : "never to leave me again, i can't live without you.". She cries and goes.

Radhika's mother (Devki_ ji) was listening. She takes Dev on a side and tells him that Radhika was about to tell him to care more about his wife Vishaka. (tssk tsssk). Dev says nothing and stares at her.
It's about time to leave, it's getting late. Radhika goes to a car but Evilgrandmother takes her away and with Devki-ji they forbid her to go back. Radhika is not okay, she has to go, she has to be with him but Devki-ji tells her, not anymore, she can't, it's an order. Meanwhile Dev is waiting for Radhika and Vishaka is impatient. He asks evilgrandmother (who let Devki-ji alone with Radhika) where is Radhika, she answers that Radhika will stay with them. Dev, somehow, isn't believing it, he knows, he feels Radhika yearns to go to him. He gets in the car and drives and goes.

Radhika then looks ther mother and seriously tells her that she has the right to go there, as a wife, as God is her witness, he gave her the permission. Devki-ji is startled and lets go of her hand. Radhika runs to the parking lot and runs after the car then falls. She then sees a shadow from afar walking towards her, it's Dev who knew, he just knew [*i'm dead*]. She stands up and he says that he knew he was lefting something important and smiles at her. She gets shy and he tells her he knows why she was running so desperately for him. Because she actually also feels something for him. She keeps denying it.

(below is this beautiful scene vid. It begins with the previous episode summary)

Back to Dev's mansion, they arrive the last with Radhika. Mrinalini then teases them about getting Radhika back. Then (woohoo) Vishaka takes the blow and confronts Mrinalini : "i brought her back, she didn't want to but i need her here. She is my sister after all. If someone has a problem with it, he shall talk to me directly". Mrinalini gets angry and goes away.
Dev has a night talk with his grandmother and gets the confirmation that someone who doesn't let a promise break by all means is someone who really love the person she made the promise to. He hears Radhika telling to Birju that she can't break the promise of letting him alone. He is happy (silly~~ <3).

In Vrindavan, evilgrandmother tells to Devki-ji to call Vishaka and ask her to send the wedding photo. They will go talk to a special priest who can undo weddings. Vishaka is on the phone and then asks Radhika to search for the wedding photos : "they want to cancel your wedding with him". Radhika is shocked hearing that but helpless.
Dev hears that Radhika is on the terrace for the laundry and lies to Vishaka about needing something on the terrace. [he kind of is really full of himself now, lol]. He ambushes her, she looks so desperate : "look at me, in the eyes, tell me your true feelings". She keeps denying and tells him she doesn't love him but he sees in her eyes it's a lie.

He challenges her then : "you will tell me truth willingly one day, i'll make sure of that". He smiles to her. [tssk tsssk *Deeeeeev* // *___*].

Kahani Ab Tak : Dev discovers Birju knew about Radhika for a long time and tells him their friendship is over.

NB : Pic courtesy of india-forums for their lovely updates on Indian tvserials !! <3

Everyone is downstairs for dinner time. Radhika tells to Birju that she will talk to Dev because she is responsible for this incident. At the dinner table everyone notices Dev's absence and Mrinalini points out that Radhika isn't there too. Vishaka doesn't know where they are. Mrinalini stands up and says she will look for them.

Radhika is up on the terrace where she finds Dev and she tries to explain to him that Birju only is concerned about him and he should be angry towards her not towards him (not need to say he looks at her really angrily lol). She tells him that she knows she is in no position to tell him that but he should try to understand him and not make things so tensed. At that moment Dev notices that someone is going to open the door, he quickly takes Radhika and they hide behind the door= kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lovely lovely cute moments. See by yourselves !!

Devki-ji sees that they were both together. The family decides to do yet another pooja in order to bless God for Dev's recovery, it's called "phool bangla". Vishaka is weirdly too happy about it and she tells to Radhika that she will try to do it right. Radhika is suprised and Vishaka tells her that she will be with her and furthermore she will finally be able to participate in that. Knowing that Radhika is so happy, going to the temple.

She goes to Dev's room and begins reasonning him that he says he can't hate her then how can he hate his childhood friend whom he knows longer than her. Dev turns and tells her hat she is right. Birju comes in and they hug each other.
Radhika is in the store room getting ready for the puja and Dev knocks at the door, he thanks her for solving the issue with Birju. She tells him that there's no need. Dev sees that she irradiates of happiness and smiles. "You are so happy about this pooja aren't you ?'
"Yes, don't you know, i will finally be able to pray and decorate Kanha myself." Dev goes, smiling.

They are all about to go then Evilgrandma tells to Radhika that she won't go with them. Dev notices she isn't there and calls her to come. Then evilgrandma says that she can't, she isn't pure blablabla... to which Dev replies that she has already perfomed a pooja before, she isn't against that by the time (looooool he is referring to the fake RajPurohit ritual). Evilgrandmas' mouth goes blaaaah and Radhika comes along, thankful to Dev. On the road Radhika explains that Phool Bangla is a ritual performed to bless Radha and Krishna's love. The couple have to swing Kanha's statue together so that ther love also become indestructible.

Then few things happen, while everyone gather at the temple, evilgrandma sneaks out and threatens Radhika to dare go inside. Also, Vishaka sneaks out to go dancing and celebrating. Inside they are praying and Dev notices Radhika isn't there. He goes outside and sees her hiding. Inside the couple are coming in line to rock the statue then the Rajpurohit couple is missing which irritates the family They all go. At that time Dev takes Radhika's hand and takes her inside. She then sees the statue and hypnotized by him she takes the swing and performs the ritual while Dev is hypnotized by Radhika and takes the swing too. In the end they are doing it together as a couple. <3 (Dev is daydreaming too, cutie !!)

Devki-ji sees them and is horrified. Later she goes to see Radhika and tells her that she is ashamed at her. How could she try to seduce her sister's husband, etc... Hearing that Radhika is crying but she is upset too and cries that it's not like that : THEY WERE IN LOVE EVEN BEFORE..... She explains everything to her and the mother is stunned and so sorry for Radhika. She apologizes and tells her that she didn't know that she made her suffer, etc... Then she comes back to herself and tells that she will reveal everything, she will give Radhika her right as Choti Bahu.

Kahani Ab Tak : Dev faints after saying goodbye to Radhika

NB : Pics courtesy of india-forums for their lovely updates on Indian tvserials !! <3

Radhika immediately runs to him and she is afraid. What's happening to him ? Furthermore, she doesn't know what to do, she isn't supposed to be here alone with Dev. She goes to find Birju who takes care of the situation while she rushes to her room to quickly change her wet clothes and come back.

As he is carrying him in the living room, Mother and Grandma see and are horrified. They panick and rush to Dev's room. Vishaka, was waiting for Dev (the night that was supposed to be her night lol) and she felt asleep.

Dev is lying on his bed, the doctor says it's a pneumonia, etc... They tell him his wife will take good care of him. They all leave. Radhika is shattered and blaming herself, she tells to her Kanha that now she can't leave him like this, she has to take care of him.

Mrinalini (the granddaughter in law) is being told to go to the store room to get a blanket or something. There she finds Radhika's wet clothes and becomes suspicious.

At this point of the story, it's time to tell you about Mrinalini's issue with her in-laws. So she is the grand- daughter in law but actually she behaves badly, she is disrespectful, greedy and bitter. There's a reason to that. She is married to Dev's brother and everything was supposed to be fine then the brother had an accident making him paralized in a wheelchair forever and impotent in bed. Therefore, the life she dreamed of collapsed and she has to behave like a nurse. Her desires aren't satisfied (she has an affair with Dev's cousin, the one who should have had the inheritance) and she is bitter because they all talk about heirs while she will never be able to be a mother. All in all, she wants revenge, she wants this house to collapse and burn.. you know ;)...

Vishaka has to take care of Dev, sleeping and she really isn't in the mood. The phone rings and it's her grandmother whom she tells Dev is ill. The evil grandmother (haha) then thinks Radhika is the curse, they have to go and get her back.Vishaka is being told to apply medicine on Dev's body and all but alone she doesn't do that. She goes talking on the phone to Purab. radhika enters and fulfils her duties and takes care of him. He unconsciously whispers Radhika's name, Vishaka hears that but doesn't seem to bother about it. She tells Radhika to take care of him and if family arrives to call her so that it will look like she is a good wife. She goes.

The morning Dev hasn't moved, nothing. Vishaka is bothered because he is making her life worse. LoL ! The doctor says that he should have recovered by now but it seems he doesn't even want to wake up. (Dev cutie wake up, come to me... *bricked*). Evilgrandma and Devki-Ji (Vish/Rad's mother) arrive. All decide to do a pooja, a prayer for his health.
The pooja begins and Vishaka has to be in the room with Dev, applying some sacred ashes on his forehead, it's important, it's part of the ritual and it can only be done by the wife. But then Vishaka doesn't care, she tells Radhika she is getting some sleep because his husband is taking his time to rest on his own. (^o^).....

Anyway, dear Choti Bahu follower, you know why~~ it has to be done by the wife, hence.. Radhika xD~~ She does it all, so carefully, while crying and praying he wakes up. One of the tear falls on his face and he slowly opens his eyes, seeing her face.

"I knew that you'd be the first person i'll see when i wake up" says handsome-cute-perfect-Dev <3
"Promise me, you'll never leave me. If i don't see you around me, i don't think i'll be able to live" says he tears droping down on his face (huuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs)
"I Promise", Radhika is defeated.. (how could you even resist oh-girl ! ).

(The Vid below begins Devki-Ji and Evilgrandma asking about the trip cancelled. why ? Dev is unhappy ? Radhika says there's nothing like that. EvilGrandma accuses Radhika that she is trying to ruin Vishaka's life // Then the pooja thingie and the RaDev scene...)

As the Pooja is about to end, Radhika stands up and tells him she will go to tell them he has recovered. They all come in the room and thanking God and all. Vishaka arrives later, she sneaks in and they all say that it is thanks to Choti Bahu Vishaka (while Dev is staring at Radhika knowing she is the one who really took care of him), she did everything correctly, the ashes and all. Vishaka (dummy) asks "what ashes" ? Then she succeeds in covering her tracks by pretending she is exhausted now but Mrinalini is double suspicious.

Dev is recovering etc...he wants to see Radhika so stands up and pretends to have a glass of water in the kitchen where she is but he is troubled. He looks at her angrily and tells her that the promise he made her take he doesn't mind if she takes it back because at that time he was ill and now he is ok, he doesn't want to burden her. Then he goes, leaving Radhika stunned. Birju comes by to ask how he is and Dev tells him, well reveals him that Radhika is his Dream Girl. [yeah Birju already knows but Dev isn't aware of that].

Dev then sees that Birju knew it already and shouts at him. "All this time you knew ?" He is about to slap him then Radhika comes between pleading for Birju because she made him promise it's not his fault. Dev is about to go nuclear (lol) "you were the two persons i loved the most and you are the ones who deceived me that much !". He tells to Birju that their friendship is over. Birju breaks down and cries.

Kahani Ab Tak : Dev refuses to "marry" Vishaka once again....

NB : Pics courtesy of india-forums for their lovely updates on Indian tvserials !! <3

Vishaka is really angry, she can't stand this guy being his husband and acting as he wishes, changing his mind. Dev explains that there's no need to prove they are married, other people firmly believes in that for them both (he looks at Radhika while saying that).

They are packing their things, the phone is ringing, Radhika's mother asks her how the ritual go, if they actually are really married now and Vishaka isn't living in "sin" anymore. Radhika tells her Dev refused to do it. Radhika can't tell her the reason why. After hanging on the phone, she decides she can't go back with them, it's her fault, she has to go away from Dev.

Outside, near the car, Radhika tells her sister she won't continue the pilgrimage with her and that she will go back. (reminder : the 2nd wedding ceremony was something between Dev and Vishaka's family. Dev's family isn't aware of that. They told them there were going on a pilgrimage, which they will do too actually.)

Dev hears that and pretexting he forgot something, He goes out of the car searching fr Radhika.

He tells her that's it's fine for him that she goes but scolds her and tells her that there's no need to act shy like that, the fact that she leaves like that won't make his pain go away nor what he is feeling and will do next. He goes. Dev is driving really fast and Vishaka doesn't understand what's happening to him.

Radhika goes back to Vishaka's in laws house to her room. There she talks to her Kahna's statue and tells Him she has to leave this house and let Dev with Vishaka. She goes to see Dev's Grandma and asks her the permission to go back to Vrindavan but Grandma doesn't want to because she tells Radhika that she has become the light of the house. (Now... note from me, usually, those things are said to the daughter in law, she si supposedly the one bringing happinness and light in the in-laws' house... =). Radhika is confused but decides to sneak out from the house before anyone notices. She opens the door and there she sees Dev and Vishaka standing there, they were coming back.

Dev notices Radhika with her luggage before Radhika hides it and understands she is going to leave like that. He is double pissed. (<3) The house awakens and they ask why they returned so early. Dev tells his mother there's no reason for the pilgrimage because God let him find what he was searching for. Radhika is uneasy. People are going back to their room but Dev follows Radhika and tells her that it's okay for him if she is so eager to leave this house but he wants to give something to her (the necklace he bought remember ?...).

But Vishaka interrupts them so Dev asks her to meet him in the garden, he will wait. Vishaka tells Radhika that enough is enough, she has to solve this couple issue, she will sleep with him tonight. Radhika is shocked and tells her, she can't she isn't married. Vishaka says that she was about to, the pilgrimage was for that but it ddin't happen it's not her fault. Radhika tells her it's a sin to do that, to which Vishaka replies : "me living in this house pretending to be his wife is a sin too and i am doing since some time now".

Dev is outside waiting, under the rain, for Radhika to eventually come. She does. He tells her he won't stop her from going because apparently she doesn't love him. But that doesn't mean he will be able to forget her. He will try but it might that a lifetime. Radhika is crying. He then tells her he brought and bought something for her. He approaches and tie the necklace around her neck : "at least this will keep you from forgetting me". Radhika turns back and starts going. Dev looks at her and suddenly feels dizzy. He faints.

Kahani Ab Tak : Dev discovers his "wife" 's sister is non other than his Dream Girl, Radhika.

NB : Pics courtesy of india-forums for their lovely updates on Indian tvserials !! <3

Dev is shattered and there's a flashback of the recent Rajpurohit ceremony (remember), he realizes he did all that with his lover. He is also angry because she didn't say anything, she lied to him, she hid from him. He is confused, and breaks down. She tries to approach him but he rejects her and goes away, running.

There's a huge storm, Radhika is searching for him but she can't find him, hopeless she kneels down outside, under the rain to pray that he is safe and that he comes back. She turns and he is standing there. She tries to explain to him why she did that but he doesn't want to hear. He tells her he loved her so much and she betrayed him. Then she says that she had to do it because he is her sister's husband. He replies that the proposal was meant to be for her. She says it wasn't and now whatever has happened is the past, he has to act like a husband.

Dev is soooo angry. [i love his character !!! <3]
Then he asks her why she hadn't stop the wedding because she obviously knew she was the one he loved. Radhika tries to answer then figures that she has to make it all stop now : "i never loved you."

Dev, blunt, asks then "so this was all my illusion ? the love i protected for you was meant for nothing ? Then if you didn't love me, why all those secrets, why didn't you tell me face to face that you are her sister, what were you so afraid of ?"

Radhika apologizes for giving him a wrong idea about her loving him. Dev tells her that it's useless. There's a thing she has to understand, it's that he only loved and will only love her, even if it will destroy him. It can't be wash away like that.

He asks her if this is really the truth, can't she let him hug her once, because if he isn't able to feel her love, at least he wants to make sure that she is real to him. Radhika agrees. But then, once in his arms, she can't help herself and hugs him too. Dev pulls her away, shocked and goes away.

The morning after that incident Dev and Vishaka have to get "married" again. Vishaka is ready and the priest is waiting. Dev arrives, late and says : "i don't want to go through it again". He is firmly looking at Radhika while saying that.

Also i'm currently watching the taiwanese drama called Together, it's kind of cute, Jiro is OMG kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~~ and for once i think he is acting really well. Rainie is still wearing a hideous wig, i'm wondering when she willfinally act with her own hir again ==".

True Blood's new season began and i didn't like it. I got bored. I started a new tvshow, a british one called "Being Human", one of my dear friend advised me to watch it because we kind of have the same occidental tvshow taste, especially british one ;)....It's about a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost living together. So far i like it ^^!!

Choti Bahu...part VII

2009-06-04T18:46:21Z

Kahani ab tak (= The story so far)

Radhika says :
"I will perform (the Purohit ritual) with you."

NB : Video cuts courtesy of india-forums for their lovely updates on Indian tvserials !! <3

Dev asks her to think about it again. It's a big responsability and he doesn't her to feel pressure nor to feel pity. Radhika explains that she does it for her sister's sake. Nothing to be discussed about, it's willingly she will disguise herself. Dev is thankful. They dress up Radhika -who is hurt because she will once again perform a husband&wife ritual as she has the right to except it will be another masquerade.Radhika's father quickly tries to searth for Vishaka. Some cute scenes then where Dev puts the mangalsutra on her like in the wedding [now where is that feeling of love huh ? when you touched her cheek.. baka !]. They do the ritual until the end whereas it was planned it would be only for a matter of time. While the ritual is almost complete Radhika's father still doesn't find Vishaka - who is at the train station with Purab waiting to board to for Mumbai. Finally Amma and Radhika's mother succeed in preventing evryone to see under the veil [yeah the veil again~~] and it's time for the suhaag raat. [Remember it's like a second wedding so there ought to be a wedding night haha]. Radhika and Dev are in the room, alone. He takes a blanket and goes in the terrace and from there there is curtain separting both. Radhika takes her veil out and they start discussing like that, without even looking at each other [now isn't he curious to know what her wife's sister, the lovely sister-dream girl-alike voice looks like ? =="]. Dev starts to tell her his secret that he loves another woman. He explains her he feels comfortable talking to her like because she is like his best friend. He is hurt and in love so much with her it aches him it is desperate. She then tries to explain to him he'll be better forgetting about his Dream girl.

She makes him swear he will never look at her when she will be in this house because it will hurt him to much. Dev agrees, a bit confused [but not enough...]. The morning - early morning - still no answer from the father about Vishaka, dev asks Radhika to go prepare the praying morning ritual before everyone wakes so it looks like Vishaka has done it. She agrees and goes doing it [anyway even if Vishaka was there, Radhika would have done that lol]. She is still preparing it when the family arrives and Dev's grandmother asks why she is doing it and not Choti Bahu. Radhka is speechless then she tells that she wanted to do that alone as she knows she has no right to be near a sacred place. Dev's grandmother is so happy to see evrything is set up so beautifully and it appears she truly is fond of Radhika so she tells her she has evry right as she said she will devote herself to Kanha and be his wife. Then they ask for Vishaka and save by the gong she arrives with her father and mother like nothing happened. Dev is there too but trying to keep his promise he isn't looking at Radhika, he shows her his back. Then Dev's grandma [i'll call her Dadi from now on ok ?], then Dadi asks Radhika's father to sing the arti (=sacred song) and he feels so ashamed by letting happened what happened that he declines and tells that Radhika's voice is beautiful. So Radhika begins singing.

After Vishaka has to explain herself to Amma and Radhika, etc.. and she says she doesn't want to be the Choti Bahu, furthermore she isn't the choti bahu it's Radhika, she just can take her place, she seems to enjoy that role ! Amma slaps her (for once~~ lol). Actually Vishaka's father saw her on the train but it already went away so he called the police station from the next stop and describes his daughter to them. She was arrested and the father begged her to go back, then he threatened her he will kill himself. Vishaka had no choice but to reluctantly go back, more than that Purab ran away, she was all alone lmao !!

What follows is a serie of scenes with Radhika and Dev playing willingly hide and seek. Dadi jokes one day but wishes to Dev to give her a grandchild soon. Vishaka is no-no and so is Dev but they stay quiet. Dev confides to Radhika - his new best friend - [still hiding her face] that he can't even give love to Vishaka, how can he possibly give them a grandchild. Radhika tries to explain to him it's for the sake of the two families - something his Dream girl told him the night he saved her - so Dev gets suspicious.. a bit.

Meanwhile the war between Mrinalini the grand bahu and Vishaka is on because the safe keys were given to Vishaka so Mrinalini has to ask Vishaka if she can have money to go out shopping which make her want to make Vishaka's life a hell even more.
Radhika is living in the store room, she refused to take an ordinary room, she feels safe in this alone quiet place. But yeah it's a store room so people will come regularly to take things, so does Dev who discovers a handkerchief he lost in Radhika's stuffs. He asks her about it but Birju comes to her rescue and pretends he lost it here. Then Dev goes to work. Dadi plans on a cute date for them, going to the theater.

Vishaka is asked to get in the car and to stop by the mandir where Dev is so that they go together to the movies - but Miss Vishaka isn't in the mood haha !! She asks Radhika to come with her - which surprise everyone. There she leaves Radhika in the car and says that she will go find Dev and tell him she doesn't want to go to the theater. Meanwhile Radhika steps down the car and Dev sees her near his car. He doesn't understand what his dream girl is doing there, then he is called by Vishaka so turns his head and then Dream girl disappeared. Vishaka then says : "Oh you're here. But where has SHE gone now ?". "Who" asks Dev.

"Radhika !".

Choti Bahu Part VIII... Season 1 Finale !!!!

2009-06-04T18:44:42Z

Kahani ab tak (= The story so far)

Vishaka states : Radhika !

NB : Video cuts courtesy of india-forums for their lovely updates on Indian tvserials !! <3

Dev frowns. They go back to the house and noone understands why they are returning so early. Dev is hurrying and going to the store room where Radhika is changing clothes so that he won't recognize her. He enters and she covers her face. He asks her where she was, why did she go suddenly while she was supposed to be in the car and she replies that it was supposed to be their date, she shouldn't have been there. He then tolds her he saw his dream girl. And he sighs and goes away, Radhika is crying too.

Vishaka talksto Purab - [he is back this little bastard] and she tells him about having the safe key with all the money but she doesn't know how to take it all. He then tells her that there is one way, she just have to give bith to a baby with Dev because their child will be the heir and so he will have the money. Vishaka has made her mind. She goes to see Dev and tells him that she is ready to be a wife and give them a new chance. Dev is containing himself from crying and going crazy but takes this chance to try too to become the good husband he tells her he will be. He asks Radhika to help him in this path. She agrees. They are set to spend a weekend in their farmhouse and Radhika is being asked to go prepare everything for them to be romantic. The couple go while Radhika is crying. Then her mother calls knowing about that and she tells her to stop that, it's a sin because Vishaka isn't married to him. They first have to get them married. Radhika calls then Dev in a hurry and makes up an excuse to interrupt their weekend. Dev demands an explanation from Radhika and she tells him that it's her mother wish that they get married "again" so that it's a new frsh start. Dev says fine i will marry her "again"...

The mother was supposed to be with them for the wedding again [note : it's only a thing between Vishaka's family - except the father who doesn't know - and Dev, Dev's family doesn't know ANYTHING]. The mother can't so Radhika has to be th witness of their union. They pretend going on a pelerinage and the three of them go. In the mandir village, Dev spots a necklace with Krishna and buys it to give it to Radhika.

I will now put the video cut of the scene following and will detail it entirely with the dialogues for you, ending this first season review of Choti Bahu [note : there are no seasons in the drama, it's me cuting it like that ;)]

It's night already and Dev is sitting down the mandir, remembering his love because soon he will take one step ahead in his life commiting to be a true husband to Vishaka. Radhika is thoughtful and crying while she walks near the water pound, thinking she will soon marry her husband to her sister, truly puting an end to all this.

**The song playing on the background is called "Baware Naina", it is played for them everytime, it's composed for them especially. It means approximately something like "my mind is happy yet troubled. Please, Kanha answer me, show me the way to overcome this love that burns my heart..."

Without realizing, Radhika arrives the same place as Dev is. He sees her and goes to her. Carefully he stays behind in order not to see her like he promised and speaks, awaking Radhika from her thoughts. She quickly covers herself.

Dev : "It looks like you can't sleep either. Isn't it strange, it's so late and i'm not even sleepy. I'm not even troubled. I'm feeling surprisingly really calm after so many days. I have the feeling that something good is going to happen. So here i am, not sleeping. It looks like He is nearby, taking care of all my troubles. Anyway, it's really late, you should go sleeping."

Radhika : "Yes, you go first. I would like to stay here a bit longer, i'll come later."

Dev : "Alright".

He goes away then while walking back he remembers he forgot to give her the necklace he bought. [the song is on again with the singer shouting the name : Radha! Radha!] He turns around and comes to give her his gift. She is sitting near the water.

Dev : "For you, i...."

He then sees her reflection in the water. He is motionless, speechless [what can i say.. it's too much a shock don't you think ? LoL !!] Radhika doesn't realize immediately but then she sees he is seeing her face in the water. She quickly puts her clothe, stands up and goes in the opposite direction.

Dev : "Wait !"

He is determined, angry, confused [Avinaaaaaaaash - the actor's name - i just love him... you make my heart goes wiiiii~~~]

Dev : "Turn around and face me."

Radhika is getting scared, what can she do...

Dev : "I said, turn around and face me."
Radhika : "But.."
Dev : "I want to see your face !"
Radhika : "Don't be stubborn"
Dev : "Call it stubbornness if you want ! I WILL see your face".
Radhika : "You made a promise not to see my face ever, remember ? You said my voice reminded you of the girl you loved.Now you are going to start anew with Vishaka. So why are you asking me this ?"
Dev : "I remember correctly the promise i made. But i just saw a reflection of your face. And now i want to know if i'm dreaming again or if it's real".

Dev closes the distance between them : "It's the last time i'm asking you this, please let me see your face."
Radhika : "I have to go."

Dev catches her hand, preventing her from running away. The weather is getting wild. The gods are witnessing the scene and acknowledging the twist to happen.

Dev : "Please, turn around."

She turns around and the wind is wild blowing. The clothe is hiding her face by itself, just like the hand of an invisible God waiting to unveil the truth, to unveil Radhika, Dev's Radha. So it does. Dev sees Radhika's face, it's his dream girl. [His expression is priceless é_è]

==> With that i end the first season of Choti Bahu... stay tune for the next season~~~*winks*

Chotti Bahu.. part VI

2009-06-02T17:49:07Z

Kahani ab tak (= The story so far)

Dev yells : "I don't want to, i don't care. I'm going back to the States and that's final."

Dev's father, hearing this, collapses

NB : Screencaps courtesy of india-forums for their lovely updates on Indian tvserials !! <3

Dev urges Birju to call a doctor then his father tells him there's no need, it's this way it's supposed to be. Dev apologizes for making him suffer like that, he didn't mean to yell but his father says it's okay, he doesn't want his son to feel burdened and he understands that Dev has to leave just like he has to leave too. Then he dies. Ceremony follows after that, Dev is mute and angry at himself. Radhika wants to hold him but she can't she is hiding in the temple (with the help of Birju) where Amma sees her and tells her it's her fault, she entered a temple with her dirty feet (blablabla). Dev hasn't cried yet and Birju is worried. He goes seek for Radhka and begs her to go find Dev once. Radhika feels she has to, because SHE is his wife. She finds him alone near the fire ritual and talks to him. Dev is surprised but more angry. She tells him that now he has a responsability, for his father sake he is a "Rajpurohit" (= direct heir)" and he says : "i shouldn't have loved you. It's all of this love's fault. If i hadn't love you, i wouldn't want to go to the USA to forget about you and my dad wouldn't have died. Just leave me once and for all". Radhika is heartbroken and leaves. Dev then turns around to search for her but he says "You are always in my head, like right now, i'm talking to your illusion, i regret everything i just said, fortunately you were not really her". Then he tears down.

(The vid below is the confrontation i just talked about)

At the Purohit mansion (= Dev's house) the uncle feels he has got an opportunity back and says that his brother made Dev the heir but Dev wants to go to the USA so what can we do, my son will fulfill the duties. Dev comes home and says : 'i am the rajpurohit and i will take my responsabilities, i'm not got to USA anymore". Vishaka gets annoyed because Dev told her once in USA they will live separately and she will be free so she was thinking she will go to the USA that she made her mind and thought about HOllywood instead of Bollywood, now back to square one, she has to act like a daughter in law ! In their room, Vishaka yells at Dev and he tells her he is sorry but now he will try to make everything right, he has decided to accept her as his wife like he should have done a long time ago (~~and in his mind he prays to God to help him forget about his dream girl~~).

There are rituals to be performed in order to become a dignified Rajpurohit. His wife has to perform that as well, things Vishaka hate and she tells she won't do it to, she doesn't want to be the chotti bahu anymore : she yells that in the house to Dev's family. Everyone is shocked and they think she must be tensed and tired so they tell her to go to rest but they are worried, because it is for the wife to pray for her husband long life and healthy career, it's really important. It's like a second marriage rituals that has to be done carefully. It includes a vrat (not eating) and to shower early with milk in the morning and pray. Vishaka doesn't follow that and eats in secret [ LoL i can't hate her even if she is a pain in the ass, she makes me laugh, and i partly understand how she feels, all those rituals.. !! ]. Radhika decides on her own she will do the ritual for Dev, as a wife's duty.

(see the vid cut below)

After that, Dev comes to his room to take Vishaka downstairs and there he founds a note by her saying "she can't stand it anymore, she is going". Vishaka is meeting Purab and about to go to Mumbai to an audition. Dev is worried, he tells Birju and they try to search her everywhere. Then he decides to call Vishaka's father but Radhika is on the phone (note by me : they had many conversations on the phone after the illusion accident and Dev likes her voice, it reminds him of his dream girl, if only he knew~~ lol). Radhika searches too but tells her parents. Finally the father apologizes to Dev and says he doesn't know what to say, etc.. then Amma comes with an idea (one really familiar lol) by saying "Just take Radhika to the ceremony while we search for Vishaka more, until then she will stand as Vishaka". [Radhika is hiding in a room and hearing that she is shocked]. The dad and Dev are also shocked but yeah well finally they agree but then Dev tells he won't do it without Radhika's agreement. They start talking - she is still behind the wall [how ridiculous~~] and finally she says :

"I will perform it with you."

~~Hello !!!~~

Buzzer Beat huh ? What is this title by the way, like a hamburger name. LOL !!
I'm actually on an off-drama period, i'm trying to focuse on my final paper, it's serious guys hihihihi *better laugh than cry*.... é_è
I'm constantly checking the Monte-Carlo tv festival website even if i know it's on June but okay i'm a little obsessed with Nino's nomination there.. (*proud* <3)

So i made a serious disturbing dream, i mean usually when you think about idol you love the dream is a good one right ? Like you'll be the princess, he'll be the prince, it's a love story, baby just say YES *humming Taylor Swift's song* lmao !! BUT my dream was all the contrary, it's not enough that i know it's impossible, even in my dream it can't be - how disturbing is that !
==> my house turned into a "Bed&Breakfast" Inn and Dong Bang Shin Ki rented a room. Kyaaaa~~ so i'm like really excited and trying to appear mentally normal in front of them. In my dream i'm a sleepwalker (O_o) and i went to the boys' room (PG-13.. noo kidding lol) and well i'm a dumb sleepwalker it appears because i fell on them, yeah... Then Jaejoong woke up and i also gained consciousness but i quickly ran to my room. After that they looked at me like i was part of those extreme fans. Yunho (my love) ignored me the whole dream time and in the end they all go away and well, no looking back for me.

WTH ! What kind of dream is that ????? *crying*

On a happier note (wahahahaha) Prison Break is finally OVER ! Yeah well i recently watched their movie-finale "The Last Break". I was wondering when this tvshow will end, it started perfectly then they started resurrecting people like an Alias-kind of pattern (Michael... i am your mother wahahahaha !) except in ALias you knew right from the beginning, so it was ok ;) !
I also finished 24, Bones, The MEntalist, CSi ny, CSI miami, The Big Band Theory, Dollhouse,... I'm getting bored now !! Anyone has a good show to recommend ? I'm taking anything, i've already started watching Eleventh hour and In Treatment... anything else you know interesting ??

And finally a quick feedback from you about Choti Bahu :

- Do you people like how i write the reviews...
- Are you still interested in following the tvshow ?
- If yes, would you rather read the story with video cuts from the tvshow ?
- Would you like it to be less/ more detailed ?
