Anyway! The CPR scene was everything I thought it would be - STUPID. Not because I find the whole, "She's dying give her a CPR" wala thing but because there was an entire crowd there. And ek bit mein toh they showed FakeLana looking at them with such interest. Issko bada maza aaraha tha? Apna jail jaana bhool gayi. And Omkara's conflict ke hayyee rabba...waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam; ye kis dorahe pe laa khade hue hum! Dude, it's a medical procedure..tujhe uske makeout nahin karna! That entire buildup was so...pathetic.
I had to say all the negative stuff before getting to the GREAT part. THANK YOU RIKARA FOR EFFIN' SAVING THE EPISODE LIKE THAT!! THAT KHUSHI OF STANNING THE BESTS WHO NEVER DISAPPOINTS IS OH MY GOD SO MUCH!! MASHALLAH MASHALLAH!!
When Gauri woke up and the first thing she sees is Omkara all concerned for him..closer to her by choice than he has ever been before. And Omkara seeing Gauri open her eyes, relief washing all over him. It was SUCH a beautifully directed scene. Gauri getting up slowly and Omkara moving back, not reducing the distance between them. Saathiya..the beautiful beautiful Saathiya playing in the BG as Omkara raises his arms, welcoming her to fold herself in his embrace so he can shelter her from the pain she just went through. It was so beautiful..I almost cried watching that! But then the spell broke when Gauri saw the police.
For ONCE, Omkara was all heart but Gauri was all brain. She knew what the presence of police meant there. Khel khatam, ab sab apne ghar ko chalo. And OM toh Gauri ka ghar hi nahin..she was here to help Omkara and that she did. She almost died while doing so but a deal is a deal. My girl, this precious girl of mine..she told the Maas all about the deal. Why she was brought here, what will her next move be. And Omkara...for the first time I saw the Omkara which he used to be. The man who was all heart. But he was silenced by the man he has become. His present self was holding him back from refuting Gauri's claims and stopping him from doing the instinctive thing of holding Gauri to assure himself that yes, she was alive and well and safe and there there there with him. But that present self of his couldn't stop his eyes which were shedding tears because oh god he almost lost her and now she will be gone.
I just got so EMOSH seeing this scene. This wonderful scene which was Omkara and Gauri meeting and saying goodbye. Svetlana is gone (party karo people!) but that also means what was holding these two pieces of one soul together is also gone. And he's too stubborn to stop her, still too blinded to realize that what he sees is not the truth but what he feels is the actual truth; and she's too disillusioned to try to find any deeper meaning behind his concern or what he meant when he raised his arms for her. So he just walks away and she is left there crying because Gauri...ab tere jaane ka waqt aagaya. And how beautiful is her soul that despite dying inside she prays that Omkara gets his happiness now..
Omkara ki halat dekh ke jaate jaate I'll just quote the RiKara fandom's favorite quote:
ye ishq abhi masoom
