Hug is a very simple yet powerful gesture especially when you don't know how to convey your feelings to the other person. As they say , the best feeling in life is when you hug the person you love and he/she returns that hug with no inhibitions and with a greater force.
Today when Ram hugged Priya she didn't hesitate even a bit to respond to that HUG. It came in so naturally because both had their own fears and anticipation about their relationship. They know that they want to be together more than anything in the world ,but there are umpteen bridges that they need to cross before they can completely drench in each others affection.
On one side we have Priya with the guilt that it is her own father who wanted to take her husband's life. But she doesn't understand why he needs to do that and what has instigated him to take her husbands life. She is also burdened by the care and support she got from her husband . We need to understand Priya has never got this kind of care from any other man. When she hugged him , she was thankful to god that he is alive and at the same time she is guilty that it is because of her dad her husband had to endure so much challenges in life.
On the other hand that hug from Ram is because he is happy that she is alive. He feels guilty that he has not been righteous as a husband to her . He has been hiding about his past and many a times never trusted or supported her. In spite of all this she was willing to give her life in order to save his. He has never experienced this kind of purity in a person. He feels blessed having her in his life and wants to do everything possible to keep her happy and safe.
Both did not know how to tell the other their thoughts especially after what they had experienced. They are scared of loosing each other as they are not sure how the other will react. The trust is yet to be established between the two. They do not want to do anything that will jeorpodise their journey as a couple. They want to be together and dont want to part . They are carefully doing a tight rope walk so that no action of theirs should be the cause to part with the other.
That hug replaced a million words that they wanted to express to each other and silently conveyed how important they are to each other. They might not have started their married life like soul mates but I feel they will soon progress into one.
