Because roses are being freely distributed today : 🌹🌹🌹
First things first, everyone in Chakram niwas acknowledged it was Valentine's Day. Thank God, they agreed upon something for a change and also clarified that it is indeed February. But don't unbuckle your seat belts yet, the flight might soon go back to July for fresher's party or account settlements of November (someone's birthday has been missed?🤔) Waise for a brief moment, I was reminded of Christmas because we also missed December in between. But Valentine's Day par Santa Claus Dekha hai kisi ne? 😃 🎅
So "wife's" order has been completed -- is there any directive of the Baiko that goes unfinished? 😅 Not if it's not inconvenient. Waise, she's not asked him to do inconvenient things yet. What a fine example it was today -- a contrast of the two women in that scene today. One, who is unable to move on, latching on to her illusions and leaving no chance at "guilt tripping" her imaginary husband and then the one (I choose to avoid calling her 'other') who's actually the one who can take away all the guilt just by her mere presence.
Before delving into the much-awaited interaction -- it was a strong reaction that Sai walked away from the scene, leaving Virat and Vahini alone.
It conveyed so much in that moment: Sai did not feel insecure about the interaction, she was far from jealous. In fact, she knew he was doing what she asked him to do but with a completely different intention that has not been communicated yet. She really meant it when she asked him to get the rose for Vahini. She did not assume any more "special things" about the best friends-- jitna assume karwaya gaya hai utna hi kaafi hai 😅. She did not need to hear the conversation or 'keep an eye' on her legal husband in conversation with well-known Delusional Didi 🥴 and she felt no need to guilt trip him later.
Just a random question: What kind of peace does one feel thinking about 'home' on a hard day at work? When you know that you'd soon be at 'home' where there wouldn't be questions raised and pseudo-emotions employed to deliver poisonous lashes at you? That kind of home is actually always a person 🥰. I guess it should be clear to Virat that if a deal-wali wife can be so 'understanding' about situations, what will she be like when she's really the 'love wali' wife?
How long before he realises that the "promise" he was reminded of was made to a person he barely judged for toxicity levels.
If Didi-cum-Vahini's love was to be a visible item, the packaging would have been marked with the red label of human skull 💀 that reads "Highly poisonous: Avoid direct handling, Consult doctor in case of contact". May be ACP Chavan would have read the label right but unfortunately, families and people do not carry the toxicity warning.
The resentment she displayed at the 'knowledge' of her imaginary husband having given a bouquet of roses to his real wife was Class I level toxic.
The entire body language was a give away -- he has sensed her thoughts with the direct reminder of the "promise" and also "mujhe bhool kar mujhse keh rahe ho main Kuch Nahi bhoola" -- if the terrace interaction saw him feeling 'pained' for a moment when he saw her in tears and understood her 'loneliness', when she mentioned her lack of feelings for Samrat, today I thought his body language gave away that he had slightly upped his guard. Virat thinks it is reasonable for her to say she doesn't feel anything for Samrat because, honestly, you can't be in 'love' with someone you don't even know and also the uncertainty of the situation can be considered when she says she doesn't have hopes.
But today when her "Kya tum karte ho... Parvaah?" question from the terrace changed to "You have forgotten your promise and me. You gave roses to your wife and this is a cover up. Please leave and give this rose to your wife", it was evident that the question she wanted to ask at the terrace that night was different. I found it significant that Virat registered Sai's presence today and also exchanged a brief knowing glance with her -- it was not just him looking in Sai's direction but it was more like his knowledge that he could draw an assurance that he was being understood and not being charged with guilt (only if Sai also gets the same kind of assurance from him when needed). And there was a visible surprise on Sai's face seeing Didi reacting the way she was instead of being happy 😄
Thank God he asked, "How did you find out? Did Sai tell you?" and she said, "No. But kya fark padta hai?" Now that's the answer and Virat repeated it with the correct amount of emotion: "Hmm... Kya Fark Padta hai?"
Although I would have preferred the question being asked without the earlier attempted "Sai ke friends ne..." explanation, I didn't mind it in the end because her need to thrive on controlling the 'IPS officer' was so evident in her dialogue and it put him off. Also, he was genuinely trying to 'share' with a friend the incident that happened in college but the recipient of the sharing was not a friend and he realised and abandoned the 'sharing'. She was a wounded 'wife' from an illusionary planet, who completely took away any kind of emotion that could have actually been exchanged in the moment of giving the rose. It turned into a mere mechanical exercise -- just like it was for the rest of the family-- and therefore also truthfully, he said, "Main sabhi parivaar walon ke liye laya hoon toh tumhe liye kaise nahin laata..." because you are "part of the family" and also a 'friend' just like Karishma and Sonali Kaku 😅. But obviously that assurance cannot be enough for someone who wants to be more than 'friends and family' and is small, diminished and wounded in her thoughts, meant to ruin moments. So the rose was taken along with the knowledge that there exists no 'promise' in its original form😅
Is it that just like the deal marriage has conveniently changed to 'seal-this-marriage', the 'dil and Zindagi mein Nahi aane doonga' promise has changed to 'dost and parivaar Ka hissa maan Kar rahunga' 😂😂😂 because Chavan Saheb is getting no flashbacks whatsoever of that moment that was played like a ghisa hua tape initially... Ya tape sacchi mein ghis Gaya and it cannot be played ? 😂😂😅 Waise, as someone pointed out yesterday, he actually went into retrograde amnesia -- he did ignore Vahini's 'promise reminder' as if it never happened 😂 . Here, wait, take some chocolates before you go! 🤣🤣
Waise, kya Lagta hai aapko? Vahini uss gulaab ke phool ko kisi novel ke pages ke beech me rakhengi ya iska anth bhi candy floss jaisa hoga? 😅
And, of course, Sai gladly accepted the second round of the roses 🌹Did she not already convey through her eyes the approval to the act of execution of the 'order'. In fact, there was a sense of pride as well... The 'accha chahne wale logon Ka pyaar' that is dripping from their eyes and the mere presence in each other's breathing space is so apparent that no one can miss it. So, it was almost lethal when Didi was made to feel like she doesn't exist when the Santa Claus arrived at the dining table -- love eyes only fixed on Baiko 😅
And then, of course, "Ye jaan kar sabko accha lagta hai ki koi unse pyaar karta hai, unki parvaah karta hai" delivered without shifting the eyes -- it had its effect. Sai got the point and quickly walked away...
So Kaku and Makad Gang was happy for a change, accepting flowers and chocolates. I was almost shedding tears of joy thinking that finally they will have some dinner eaten in peace but well 🙄oh well 🙄... What happens when you drink extoxic tea 🍵 at least twice a day and whenever prescribed by the venom supplier ? Roses wilt in seconds and precious chocolates are wasted. I wish Sai had taken all those chocolates away.
So within seconds, the entire household literally moves to Vahini's zeher cave to decipher how insensitive was Virat's gesture of trying to make people happy because zeher queen couldn't gulp down the pyaar ke nazaare playing out in front of her eyes... What is the logic even in asking how can he be happily married when his vahini is upset and lonely?😳😳😳 I mean, does it even sound like a reason to pick on someone? I laughed and then felt so sorry for Samrat's photo. At least remove his namesake photo from there 🙄😐. I am sure even his picture had died a million times hearing and watching these disgusting BA-MA Kakus plotting the possibility of substitute 'khushiyaan' for Vahini🤢🤮... Please let him remain in his ice bunker in Ladakh 🥺😟
But why did Ashwini come to the zeher party? Woh bhi after "accidentally" dropping the phone on the kitchen platform next to Susheel bahu. It looked like a deliberate one to me to check if Susheel bahu is still having ashleel thoughts about Aai ka Godu 😅 The bullet did hit the target and Ashwini knows how to pierce another one to push the first bullet down -- "apni nazrein Sai aur Virat se hata lo" but kahan dekhegi phir vahini? She needs some nazaare to distract herself na?
And what's with that assault she launched now and then on the kadhai with those chopped tomatoes!? Kadhai ne kya bigaada hai.
The Sai-Aai scene was much needed to end the mystery of who sent the photos 😂 thank God for small mercies. And of course the reminder of the Ladakh outing -- we have to wait another weekend to see if Chavan Saheb uses the second opportunity to object to "nazaare dekhne" suggestions and Lo! Ab toh suitcase bhi add ho Gaya 😂😂😂
What audacity should a vahini have to walk into her husband's cousin's bedroom and in presence of his 'wife', suggest that he must hand over his clothes to her to arrange a common suitcase to travel to sightseeing under the pretext of finding the missing husband? She's taking the meaning of 'Susheel Bhabhi' to new levels 😅 Now there will be even more pressure on Chavan saheb to perform in that moment with an audible reply. Let's see if he takes the opportunity.
Loved DeviTai scene. It was so sadly sweet how she was colouring hearts 🥺 I hope the story starts without delay-- Pulkit has been under utilised so far. But yay! Miss Marple has a new clue: Letter P 🧐🧐🧐 to begin piecing the puzzle.
And Sai, obviously, came on purpose to hand over the rose and chocolates to Devi, in front of Virat 😂😂. Now, Chavan Saheb, now, you really thought she was keeping the rose that was meant for "all the family" 😉 you're getting it too easy - no apologies, no introspection, no spashthata. Sirf chocolate candy se ye bridge nahin cross hone wala. Socho.. socho...😄
Their relationship has its evident flaws. And it's true that neither are the flaws permanent nor the sunshine one experiences from time to time....in transgressions of spouses, many things are said, silences exchanged, actions questioned but where there is 'Pati Patni ke beech wala pyaar' it will be said and done and forgiven. Not forgotten because very often it comes back 'rehashed' at strategic moments in fights -- "Tumne kya kiya mere liye?!" 😅. But what matters is that for the most part, spouses nurture and breathe life into the healthy space between them.☺️ So all eyes on Virat's skills at growing plants from the rose cuttings he's planted 😉
Waise, word is finally here to describe the looks they've been giving each other: Mamihlapinatapai --- looking at each other hoping that the other will start what both desire but are unwilling to do themselves. Alexa says the word has romantic interpretations and is derived from the Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego, listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the "most succinct word", and is considered one of the hardest words to translate.
*****
Have you experienced Mamihlapinatapai? I do when someone declines a coffee that can cure a migraine 😂
But you be smart. Pick your coffee ☕☕☕ or tea 🍵🍵🍵 and kyunki Santa Claus Chavan is distributing so some chocolates are free! 🍫🍫🍫
Baaki, hugs 🤗🤗🤗, love ❤️❤️❤️ and manapurvak aabhar 🙏🙏🙏 toh dena hai hi...
Apni Hasi ki hifazat Karna aur weekend enjoy Karna.
Kuch jyada hi pakaya ho Maine toh, mala maaf kara, Bhagininno!
Alexa, play a 'rosy' weekend song:
Tauba magar
Mill gayi tujhse nazar, Mill gaya dard-e-jigar
Sun zara oh bekhabar
Zara sa hans ke jo dekha tune
Main tera bismil ho gaya
Gulabi aankhen jo teri dekhi
Sharabi ye dil ho gaya
Sambhalo mujhko o mere yaaron
Sambhalna mushqil ho gaya
❤️J
