P&P Part III - Page 10

We readers should really be friends with Mahesh. We will get all the inner information about the Parashar family. 😆

Finally baby steps towards talking to each other.

Raanav did notice that something is bothering Viv and asked her, even persuaded her to open up. But I guess it will take more time for Viv to do it. And she too asked if anything did go wrong in his work front. Will Raanav tell her what happened to the Singapore deal?

Raanav & Vi have a long way to go. But don't they say "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" Like @canapoem said, they are both taking baby steps towards each other. The only time when they are really expressive is when they get intimate. But I think they should also learn to communicate outside the bed. There are things they want to share and ask, but don't. Viveka is still apprehensive about the longevity of this marriage. However, I am not sure what is holding back Raanav though. He has been the one to tell Vi that he's fallen for her and hounded her (in a good way) till she gave in. So what is stopping him from sharing his setback with her? Or just opening up to her in general. There is no doubt that he cares for her. It shows in the way he gave Mahesh her number, went after her to Bangkok, arranged for her ride via Satyen, showed up at her maika when he knew she was upset and returned home early because he knew she has trouble sleeping alone. But I get the feeling he doesn't show his care & concern openly. Something is stopping him from doing so, and I wonder what it is?

Having said that, I do feel they are opening up a bit. He knows something is bothering Vi. Probably thinks it's related to Naina and he wants her to share it with him. I like how he didn't badger her with questions on that day itself, and would have probably left it at that, but he can see Vi is uncharacteristically snappy. I wish he shares his case issue so that she gets comfortable sharing one of her life's worst failure (according to her).

I recently saw Kota factory. There is a dialogue about failure that goes something like "Confidence gir jaata hain. Phir jitna duniya nahi samajhti, utna aadmi khud ko loser samajhne lagta hain". I think it resonates with what Vi is feeling at the moment. Getting into Khargar waa her ultimate career goal. She is devastated at the moment. I think it's only a matter of time before she breaks down completely. I hope Raanav would be next to her when that happens.

Think at this point both are vulnerable and insecure. Viveka feels that Ranaav only agreed to the marriage because of Satyen.Their breakup and the reason for it would be a permanent block in Ranaav loving her (in Viveka’s perspective).

Ranaav is stuck in the break up too. There is something that he probably did with Naina and Inder situation that is going to anger viveka. He is nervous, if Viveka learnt about what he did ?

They do understand each other ,to see the other is upset .

Well talking about it all might cause more arguments . Hurdles that they need to cross to move ahead in the relationship.

As these people live their lives in the story ,the humor that Nisha injects in the story makes it all lighter to read..Eager to see what happens next.

Pieces & Holes

What a big letdown for Viveka. She had so many hopes pinned on that PhD. If not IIT, how about another university?

Unequals

Oh yeah Viveka. You have permission from dad to give Raanav an F if he deserves it. He already earned one when he failed to introduce her.

Proud & Passionate

Smrita was happy she didn't spot any love between the couple. Guess she only sees it if they act like the overly fake show put on by Rakshit and Lekha.

Both have been disappointed and both have not let it on to the other. communication is still not quite there for them.

Carb Combat!

Does she stuff herself with sugar when she is sad? If Raanav knew her better, this might have clued him in.

Wonder Woman

This chapter makes us believe in them all over again. He figured out she was upset over something. She is ready to fight his battles for him.

So well said Gauri. Viv might have her doubts as she got into this marriage knowing that it won't last long. But still she knew that Raanav loved her. I guess it will take time for her to trust him.

Raanav on the other hand loves her...so why is he too guarded around her ? I agree with you. He should start sharing things.. it will help Viv to have confidence in their relationship.
