What an episode guys. What a cliffhanger they have left me today. Eagerly waiting for Monday. From the precap I understood Samay's test or rather the test of time. Hopefully I can give detailed analysis on that test by Monday.

Episode was awesome. Finally the story is moving forward and the past is coming to light slowly.

One thing I loved today. Arjun cutting his neck was a dream. So was his imagination of Maya not allowing him to have breakfast of his choice. Well once again Arjun is not an innocent victim. Maya says she will not allow him to be bewafa or disloyal. That means something related to disloyality our munda Arjun has done, which has resulted in all controls.

Yes, Arjun cutting his neck was a dream, but I think the "Maya not allowing him to have breakfast of his choice" part was real. It seems after her putting restrictions on him, he fell asleep, I could be wrong though. He says "Maya ko maarne ka risk main nhi le sakta". So if there is no risk in it or if someone else kills her he'll be more than happy to see her dead? Is it the reason why he saved her from falling down the high building, as he doesn't want to be blamed of murdering her? Because if he loves her the dialogue should have been, "Main Maya ko maar nahi sakta". I don't see any love here, I only see that he is trapped. He did something for sure and Maya is well aware of it too.

Now the darling beta wants to lie to Maya and go for offsite. Will Maya baby allow she smartly comes to office and announces in front of everyone that Arjun is giving her 51% shares. Arjun himself told right is snatched and Maya simply executed it. Yes Arjun if you think you can get luxury and make Maya ulloo you will get things like this.

Arjun looked shocked and unhappy about it. He thought that he will get rid of Maya and keep her company or what? It was very much clear today that he never intended to give her company back to her. He wants to run away from her, leave her but not leave the luxuries given by her. Hence, the dialogue, "Poochne ki kya zaroorat thi" when she took the wedding pic and the frustration. He didn't leave her and reconciled with his family in 3 years because, he doesn't want to leave the luxuries and if he keeps the company and leave her, the society will point fingers at him that he used her and her took her money and then left her. Thus, he wants her to leave him so no one could point a finger at him. It looks like both are playing each other.

She loves you, she is loyal to you. But bachoo somewhere you have crossed limits thinking Maya might forgive you and you, yourself ended up in the mess you are in. I agree Maya is very much tough on you. But you are no less. Once I am remembered of the movie pass Arjun took and punishment Maya gave. 6 hrs in a room. So whatever control you are in, it is because of your antics.

In yesterdays episode he said Maya had been beating herself from past 3 years and everybody thinks he is a wife-beater. Why is she doing that? She keeps referring to some bewafai. What is it? From today's episode it is clear that the old Maya is still there, who knows how to control a situation and use it to her benefit. How come the new Maya is unable to comprehend about her and Arjun's broken relationship? Is it because she is mentally ill or she is deliberately trapping Arjun? Is she doing this for taking some revenge? Her dialogues, "Bina marzi ke saza hoti hai, Marzi k saath wafa hoti hai." and "Wafa se Ghabra gaye ya bewafai ka khayal aa gaya" What "Saza", "Wafa" and "Bewafai" is she referring to? Also, her dialogue," Jab bimari dawa ban jaye to tabiyat apne aap theek ho jati hai." What is she upto?

Well 51% shares are now in Maya's custody that is better, a company will come under her control. It is very much needed as in the personal space Arjun's power Saanjh is entering. I loved that bridal crown got stuck on Saanjh and she couldnt see Arjun in that crown. Only when she removed that crown she could see Arjun.Well it shows she might wear the bridal dress for Arjun, but then something else will happen.

About Maya taking over the company, I don't know if it is a symbolism or not, but she kept taking things from his cabin (her old one) asserting the fact that now she owns the place once again. There is definitely something going on in her mind. Interestingly, she didn't say that she'll have a seat in Arjun's cabin itself. Knowing how Maya wants to always be close to Arjun, this was very surprising for me. Instead, she said she'll take his old cabin (like he took her old cabin). Then she took away their wedding pic, asserting in a way that all the luxuries he has is because of this marriage and the moment it breaks, all the luxuries will be taken away from him as well. Next she takes away the Pen Stand. Pen is a symbolism of power. She will take away all his power. Next she took away the Buddha statue, very clearly stating that its for mental peace. So his mental peace will be taken away too. Then she takes her plant referring it as positive energy. That all Arjun's positive energy will be gone by this. And at the end she takes away the flask. Flask is meant to keep things warm. That means the warmth of love she has for him will be gone. She indirectly decides the location and at the end says "Don't let me bother you" which looked more like a warning that I am still the boss and don't let me show you what I can do. And the painting, one is of fall, when the trees shed there leaves and become lifeless, the other one of spring when life returns to the plant and they fully blossom. She chose Spring as she hopes Arjun will be hers forever, but if he goes away from her he will be as lifeless as fall.

Your take on the bridal veil is very interesting. Saanjh will definitely come in between Arjun and Maya. Only when she breaks their marriage she and Arjun can come together. Interestingly, its a white wedding veil. White symbolizes the old Maya. After Arjun and Saanjh get back together Old Maya will be back fully. Also, in the phase 1 initial days Maya's white dupatta unintentionally fell on Arjun when she was sad and made Arjun almost meet with an accident. Saanjh had to take it away from his face to save him, but he chose to keep it with him to clean his jeep. Very symbolic. Maya was sad and alone, then Arjun came in her life. She fell in love with him and her love became suffocating for Arjun. Saanjh tried her best to save Arjun in a way she did too (read the 7th Vow), but Arjun chose to stay with Maya and treat her like a doormat. In today's episode he threw the veil getting annoyed by Maya. Now he wants to break the marriage, but the veil got stuck on Saanjh's head and Saanjh had to struggle to take it off of her, only then they could see each other. Saanjh will have to struggle hard to break Arjun free from Maya and then Saanjh Arjun will be together.

Now coming to Maya. I am happy she didnt touch the heart with red roses, but took the chocolates wrapped in yellow flowers and fed Arjun too. That defines her relation with Samay. The yellow. Color of friendship.

Agree

I loved Samay's dialogue. Before your time is up, your Samay will come and I have come back Maya. A woman who is in a very insecure relationship, a husband who might go to his friend given a chance, a friend who can take her husband calling her bad and mad, a family that doesnt care of her. In front of her stand a man who she seems to have loved once and who had loved her. Samay hugging Maya showed they both had loved each other 8 years ago. Maybe when Maya was in college. But he went away for some reason. Maybe Samay also play an important role in Maya's trust issues. He might have not been there for her when she needed him the most. No wonder the pain in his face seeing her and his drinking.

Samay is still a mystery for me, From the Precap it is clear that he has some connection with Maya and that too romantically.

Unlike Arjun Samay knows Maya. What she likes. The flowers, the chocolates. What will Maya choose. To have a relation with Samay or stick to Arjun. A million dollar question. Based on what Maya says on Monday, how she reacts to Samay, I will tell you what Samay meant when he told " Test is taken" and allowed Saanjh to go.

Waiting for next week's Beyhadh.
