House of Cards ( Episode Analysis) Part 9-Updated Page 42 - Page 29

There is good in Mayas darkness and there is darknessd in saanjs perceived good.

While maya can get better saanjh well be seen going downhill. VMs wish of Saanjh being her dil is going to come through and that is very well going to turn into a curse.

I like poeric justice.

Saanjh will turn out to be the murderer. Maya is too obvious and if she really wanted to kill anyone then killing Ashwin would have solved all her problems... She could have easily arranged goons and done the job. Instead she was letting Jhanvi give him money to keep him away. So it sure is not Maya.

But the main thing is obsession

Obsession is what person will hide. What person don't show to other people

Maya's obsession - the whole house in Arjun's photographs. Everyone can see it. Anyone who enters the house will see it. And person will know what Maya Beyhadh loves Arjun

But Saanj's obsession - a small album in which she holds Arjun, and nurtures her fictional world, where she and Arjun are alone. No family, no friends. Only they are two. And this album is hidden from prying eyes. No one can see it

Maya falls and Arjun catches her legs. She doesnt give her hands, ask him whether he loves her. Arjun tries to hold her hand, she bites, but finally he manages to pull her up. Then Maya says she is a bad girl as Arjun tells she has made him a wife beater in front of the world. For me it was quite symbolic and in line with the hot air balloon scene. There also Maya pulls a stunt like this, trying to bring the balloon down. Arjun tries to calm her. Not exactly telling the truth but atleast not telling no to her proposal. Arjun does the same funda here. This was much darker than what happened in hot air balloon. I felt sorry for him. Maya emotionally blackmailed him to have relation with her in the name of baby. Arjun told one thing today. He cannot save her, but can only love her. But his true love is enough to save her. He just keeping promises a bit to make her feel secure is enough to save her. But just like the end of hot air balloon where the ring falls from Maya's hand and she too falls where Arjun truly pulls her in, today Arjun did a stunt. He made a suicide attempt. To liberate himself from Maya.The control goes from Maya's hand and the abyss is staring at her. The breakfast scene also reminded me of their dinner where Arjun tells our flavours wont matcha and Maya says they can be mixed. But what she does today is imposing her choice on him. It was absolutely fine if they were having different things for breakfast. They need not eat the same thing to show love.

Coming to Saanjh and Samay. Samay has finally let Saanjh go. Because Saanjh wont listen. Saanjh want to solve Arjun's problem. I loved one line of Samay. Samay or time doesnt look at friends or enemy it only sees truth and it only shows truth. What did Samay see in Maya. What does Samay know about Maya. Because in Saanjh's mind there was Arjun and Maya dancing, but in Samay's mind, Arjun is blurred, there was only Maya. Samay will expose all truths. He will break the perceptions. Saanjh feels Samay will expose only Maya's truth. No her truth will also be exposed. The journey is not going to be what she expects. He gives her paratha and pickle. Prem used to question his daughter's motives, she didnt listen to those valid concerns and questions. Samay gave her hints. She doesnt want to. Now Samay has given her all the freedom to use her power against Maya and bring out Arjun. So Samay is with Saanjh, he is with Maya. Now need to see who uses him the best.

He asks saanjh to stay away from arya and then gives her freedom to fall. unlike the parents he let's her choose a destructive path.

How will samay impact maya? did maya see samay yet?

Now God or TIme you can call Maya's Ganesha he doesnt come in between unless you choose him. Maya said even Ganesha cannot come between them. So Ganesha doesnt come, but that doesnt mean Ganesha doesnt observe her. Samay represents Maya's Ganesha or her friend who will stand for her if she wishes so. That's why Maya came into Samay's vision. For me it felt a man's concern about a wife who is going to get a baggage in form of her husband's ex-lover and literally no one to help her. Maya's Ganesha will direct her silently, if she could pick the cues to manage the person who is going to come between. Samay will be there observing Maya, maybe indirectly helping her. But till she goes back in front of Ganesha she wont see the real support of Samay or time. I hope I make some sense. Maybe I will need couple of episodes more to bring clarity.

Samay send Saanjh in destructive path because only then he can give power to Prem to take action, taking away every liberty of Saanjh which she has misused to the hilt.

Looking fwd to Mayas redemption. wonder how maya will handle saanj and arjun... she needs to break before she mends.
