Hahah Premi menein fursat se tumhara lambaaa sa take pardha. I agreed with you on many points .. one of them being that I feel a woman needs to be on the team as well to see that we as women would be able to connect more if the woman's feelings are shown as well... which I agree the CVs lacked in here. They gave us -- at every given opportunity -- Maan's POV, perspective, actions, reactions, thoughts, EVERYTHING. Geet .. I have no clue why .. was sidelined in this area .. why she wasn't given proper reason to vent out her frustrations and thoughts and feelings. The time till Maan himself confessed to her everything .. her silence was justified. He had silenced her with his words .. and now he has given her strength enough to pick up the broken pieces of their relationship and seal them together. Now, when he pours his feelings into that letter -- letter being one form of communication we've seen them use many times when they themselves couldn't speak of their true feelings -- she will take flight and run to him herself to resolve everything. I think the CVs themselves know that just a hug won't do in this situation. They are about to close this chapter of their life which wasn't easy at all .. so they have to seal every part of this chapter for them to move on -- and for that they need to communicate, to talk, to have that heart-to-heart we're craving. Don't worry dear, we'll receive it .. and I'm sure Barry won't disappoint in this part of the project.
The Confession Episode is one of my all-time favourites for one reason -- they communicated so well. Geet let out every hesitation she held in herself that was stopping her from becoming his other-half. And he reciprocated by erasing all of her doubts. Now with this MU .. they hadn't hit the right cord the entire time .. perhaps the letter will make her realize the larger truth and will finally hit the right cord in this situation and she will be able to connect and reflect.
One reason why I am being so understanding of her actions is because I have had a personal encounter with one of my own relatives where they had left the house and acted in a similar way. Albeit it took them a whole year to understand because the situation was more graver than this one ... and so when I look at Geet's situation .. I see the fact that she actually isn't going to take a long time to confess her true feelings to Maan. It may have been a long time for us because of how long they took to drag the few days Maaneet have been separated.. but in reel time it hasn't been too long. Of course if it's an MU as big as Maaneet's it will take some time to resolve. Every MU works out differently .. nothing ever happens in the same way .. and we should realize that because in our own lives we happen to react to different situations ... well .. differently.
The girl had gone through an MC .. then courtesy Daadima .. didn't get to share her heart-break with Maan and neither did he .. then Dev of all people tried to solve their problems as usual for which Daadima kept prodding him (she was being a real pendelum because at one instant she'd say don't interfere and at another she'd give him full authority to interfere in their personal matters) .. Geet was still in depression mode when Maaneet gave a kick-start to their MU and Maan started to distance himself from her .. they both apologized at instances where they hurt each other (Maan with the Baby Room and Geet with the Ashram Trip) .. and still they were both depressed .. then came the eve of Holi when Daadima forces Geet to make a decision of moving on in life -- TOO SOON! -- and says Maan is depressed seeing you like this (mind you I felt for Maan but Daadima was too insensitive with Geet in this case) and so Geet gets this revibed energy to do something for Maan and for his happiness .. she may not have gotten full out of depression mode .. but anything for her Maan. And the fateful day occurs and things happened which shouldn't have and doubts and insecurities grew and before anyone got a chance to explain themselves ... WHAM!
And then this girl leaves and runs into her crazy family in Amritsar who take her in and start making her life's decisions for her. Maybe that's how they are .. but we weren't used to this as Maan gave her way more freedom than this. She was caged .. heartbroken .. wallowing in past griefs and present .. all the while not being able to say a single thing.
Maan has his realization in this process.. up until he become Balwant Singh -- all of which Geet hasn't been a witness to till this day -- so we all got to sympathize with him RIGHT AWAY .. whilst Geet was in this house wallowing in her grief and clutching right to Maan's picture. Then when she finally sees him .. words come back to her and she is broken again. Maan makes the decision of doing something out-of-the-box so she comes running back to him.
Till today we have not gotten to see Maaneet talk of the real issue. So far it's been Maan reasurring her he loves her .. and trying to make her reassure him and herself of the same. Till today we got to hear more of Maan and less of Geet (role reversal) and so we had to be patient for her (many had not been patient because they were sympathizing more with Maan because he is -- as we all know -- a man of action and he'd done his part in redeeming himself from the situation) and I for one am patient .. I don't know why, I'm normally not patient but anything for Maaneet -- plus I know it has only been a few days since Maan came back to her so it's not like she's taken a month to realize everything unlike other serials which love to seriously drag ... this drag was nothing compared to what I've seen and endured in other shows.
Maan said today her chor ankhein say everything.. and I took that as a signal that so far Geet may not have said a word but her eyes have well spoken for her. I was able to connect this line to every instance where we wanted her to speak but she hadn't. As I said earlier, it is Maan and only Maan that is able to make her speak .. and now that he may hit the right note with his letter .. she will garner that courage to speak up like we want her to.
And to that I say HALLA BOL Geet ... go get your man back! 😆 Wow I just went from all serious to jokey jokey but you get my point. Geet will be running back into his arms in no time ... but before that .. a period of separation in it's true meaning and a beautifully crafted Milan *fingers crossed*
Hope you love my ranting and basically summary of this entire track 😆 as we move onto the closing of this chapter in Maaneet's life.
