Can there be any looking back for this man! I doubt it! - Page 4

Yes Chick...although there was an unknown connect established whenever they met prior to the wedding, the deal served to severely damage it...he was both furious and hurt and refused to accept her as his wife in private despite the public ceremony...

During the Wilkie sword fight episode, she surprised him with her spirit..!

Once he realized how much he misunderstood her over the payal incident, his guilt set in...and the scare at the cliff and the shooting exacerbated it...he got to know her a little more in that one night he spent caring for her...and developed an empathy for her...

During the dargah episode, the already established soul connect was furthered in a spiritual way...even if it was just two days, their constant proximity helped him appreciate her as a person and he actually found himself enjoying her company...even better, he could open up to his deepest disappointments and grief in her arms...he realized that she meant a lot to him and he did not want to lose her at any cost...!

Then, their brushes with physical intimacy completely opened him up to her as a woman...he started feeling a deep desire for her and found it next to impossible to keep his hands off her...!

Then, post the fiasco of the bangle, he was struck by her generosity of spirit when she told him that she would wait for him forever and that she empathized with his emotions for his first love because he was her first love ...!

I think that was the moment when he fell deeply and irrevocably in love with her! He realized that this woman was so large hearted that she had it in her to accommodate even the love that he had felt for another woman...that was a huge, huge trigger...her selfless love and the depth of her emotions for him...he was completely overwhelmed and swept away in the tide of emotions that swelled within him for her...his subsequent promises and the kiss were but steps that led him to that complete acceptance of her...when he did the sindoor dhan, his eyes were pools of tenderness and love...there was guilt for having hurt her but what moved him was the depth of emotion that she felt by that simple custom...his fate was sealed at that moment...

He had been married to a woman who asked him to prove his love every time...who playfully taunted him even as they took their pheras...

So yes, he saw her once again at the cliff as that innocent girl who had impacted him during their brief encounters, he opened up to her in the three or four days that followed, got to know her better, began to desire her as a woman...and finally fell deeply in love with her...and then he married her...

It is a whirlwind courtship but no rushed romance...the speed never bothered me because I could see this as a story that began the day they met...the phase of denial already happened...the pace may not be what it normally is in other shows...but in three days, they lived a lifetime...and this unique couple needed a unique story and a unique love trajectory, not the same as what it is with most other couples...

Finally, here was this woman before him who gave him her everything and was willing to wait for anything that he was willing to offer in return...she was not asking him to prove anything to her..no challenges...just pure love and devotion...something he may not have felt before...she reveled in belonging to him...

How could he not fall in love with her? He spoke of comparing G to S...I think, subconsciously, he must have started comparing his present to his past.. he is bound to be plagued by doubts...he is going to emotionally blackmailed by the woman he trusts most, his grandmother...but when the dust settles, he will know...his heart will know that G is the only woman for him...from now on and forever...

Najat...sorry for the long post...but since Chick brought it up here, I thought I must share my thoughts as well...

Thanks for the post once again..!
