Good morning sisterhood! ๐ค๐ต๐ป๐บ
It's time to stop blaming Patralekha (Chavan ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐คฏ๐คซ) for trying to be 'indecent'. The first rule before pushing the blame on to anyone in the situation that we've been shown is the level of discomfort, refusal and discouragement put in by the recipient of the acts. Virat, although he has sensed most of what vahini thinks, he's yet to acknowledge that he needs to draw the visible lines. He has been clearly uncomfortable with her actions on three occasions but he seems to be far from being able to spell it out to the delusional vahini.
The scene is now complete and so it's continuity was essentially to have vahini leave the room without Virat saying anything in return to the insensitive reaction to his refusal of sightseeing. The audacity with which she can spew venom to Sai's face and walk out is because of Virat's silence. It doesn't matter what Sai says or doesn't. The 'level up' is very visible in Vahini's toxicity as well as her advancing moves. This time she barged into the couple's bedroom, pushed Sai's 'wife' buttons by making direct hits at the 'husband', making indecent suggestions of sharing bags (thereby rooms), expressing excitement about the honeymoon, disowning her own missing husband and dismissing the emotion that Virat should feel as a brother for the same man, and finally, accusing the 'wife' of 'objecting' to her plans of honeymooning with the 'husband'.
Of course, she did all this because she is "upset that her husband is missing and she needs an outing" ๐๐๐ฌ wah, wah Chavan Saheb! Dekh kar andekha Karna kise kehte Hain? ๐
Just like vahini, however, Virat too is just filled with the excitement of taking along Sai -- he didn't delve on the 'mere Kuch Nahi Lagte' so it must have been stored in memory for future reference. At any other usual moment, it would have blown up into a fight but this time it didn't. Because, the navra baiko had more information exchanged between them than Vahini's imagination ๐ So, although she tried, the misunderstanding did not seep in -- Sai knew Virat wanted her to come along and Virat knew Sai wouldn't throw the kind of fit vahini was throwing even if he hadn't forced her to accompany -- it helps to communicate.
But of course Sai's questions were valid as always: "Why didn't you say I am going? Why did you ask me to wait in the room and subject me to the beizzati?"
Didn't he say he would not allow it to happen but he's more than willing to make Sai a sitting duck for Vadawali Vahini to vent out her 'cheated wife' frustrations more than often.
And of course, "Why should I pack your bags when you didn't tell her that we've decided that we are carrying one bag together?"
I believe it helped Sai let go of the anger in that moment because of the confidence with which Virat continued to remind her that 'their' decision was made and no one else's view matters because it's for him to handle.If this Vahini's walk-in and pushing buttons were to happen before the two of them had spoken about Sai's inclusion in the trip, it would have surely blown into a huge fight. That's how they should even live their lives and c-o-m-m-u-n-i-c-a-t-e.
Virat thinks it shouldn't matter what Vahini thinks because they have already made a decision bu what's the level of danger in trying to force two unwilling women to be friends? Isn't it important to tell vahini that he's planning adventure sport in Ladakh with Sai and her in the same team?? Because she's packing sarees in her big red bag ๐ฏ isme adventure kaise Hoga๐ she's going prepared for something else -- those romantic saree photos in snow with imaginary husband, straight from YRF movies ๐๐ "Ye haseen vaadiyan ye khula aasman"...
But coming back to the question of unwilling women, today I got a sense that Virat knows it's PP who's the problem and not Sai. But Chavan Saheb ke khayal Ka kya bolein? Does he really still think Vahini is upset because she didn't get to know her husband before he went missing?
To me, Virat's conversation with Sai was a small peek into his mind to hear Spashthly what we had been assuming for a few days now. Two things are clear from his talk with Sunny:
Virat knows his family is pushing Sai to the corner. But he thinks Didi is not part of the extoxic tea drinking gang in the house that goes after his wife, as he admitted for the first time today?
Add to it his statement about knowing that PP has a problem with Sai and 'jaise usne mujh se Sai ke baare me baat ki'... Something about it is not normal, he knows. He has registered PP's behaviour. He perhaps doesn't want to conclude anything about her feelings for him in the context yet. Does he want to give her another benefit of doubt by trying to get her to see what reality is? Or does he think she's really in a 'friendship' with him and really disappointed with life? Which friend allows the other to live in delusional land?
It doesn't seem like Virat thinks it is Sai who has a problem with PP. He knows very well that she only reacts when she's instigated. He knows that Sai would not create a scene even if Sai is actually hurt that he had to actually go without her to accompany PP. It doesn't seem like he means Sai patching up with Vahini as much as he means to make PP understand the facts and accept them to make peace in her mind. I don't think he feels PP is actually 'mature and samajhdaar' Nahin toh he wouldn't have needed to cover up the fact that Sai is coming along -- one of the biggest reasons to avoid confrontation in the bedroom. And his directly acknowledging that PP will call off the trip unless tickets are booked and she won't be able to refuse even if Sai is coming along.
So it's clear that when she does refuse the trip despite the fact that tickets are booked, Virat may finally begin to lower her further from the Maturity Ka ooncha jhoola...
Was Sunny surprised that Virat was taking Sai along only for this reason or did he feel Sai would be a third wheel in the outing? I don't trust this sunny ๐ he's an idiot. He seemed pretty okay with Mr Chavan and Vahini Mrs Chavan going but Sai Joshi ke naam se he made a 'why the haddi' face? ๐ก Why does Virat need assistants to book flight tickets? And Woh bhi Sunny Jaise. And what kind of advice was that about barood next to the aag? He seems to completely discount the fact that the aag is actually coming towards the barood due to a leak that Virat needs to fix. Sorry to say but this guy sounded more like a spectator than a friend who's completely unaware about Virat's new feeling... It didn't come across as if Virat has shared even with Sunny what he feels about Sai. How long will it remained bottled up?
The phone call to PP was unnecessary. Totally unnecessary ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ฅฟ๐ฅฟ๐ฅฟ๐ฅฟ๐ข๐ข๐ข๐๐ฅพ๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ก๐ฅฟ
He could have shared the information with her even after he was back from work in a very formal way. But the phone call was an 'encouragement' with even "Trip khoob enjoy Karo". What happened to the lack of sensitivity even that she displayed for Samrat?? Enjoy Kahan se aa Gaya? ๐๐๐ค And what's with giving her teasers about the fact that she's going to be judged for "samajhdaar and matured reaction... Mujhe galat mat samajhna" ๐๐๐ Kuch jyada hi ummeed hai Chavan Saheb ko 1.47 hours yoga love se... The way she strutted across the room after this conversation looks like she's going to already dream about the honeymoon tonight and even have an imaginary bun in the oven by morning ๐๐๐๐๐
So what does vahini do with that encouragement she's just got? She walks straight into Sai's space while she was on a phone call with the husband to remind her if she's forgotten that she's speaking to her husband rather politely... Ab Didi aapko Bola tha humne CCTV lagwa Lo inke room mein poori picture dekhne ke liye but aap bhi waise hi scenes fast forward mode me dekhti ho Jaise Aapke scene dekhte Hain log ๐๐๐๐. So Sai chose to remain silent about her joining the trip warna Gabbar mad ho jaata (as if we would care ๐ ). But Didi's hot air balloon has reached the height of explosion now, being flown without any caution -- "chaar din Virat Nahi Hoga toh acche se padhai Kar Lena"... Add that to the one from yesterday, "tumhe kya Lagta hai, main kis type ki planning Karne wali hoon Virat ke Saath"... My skin is feeling the goosebumps. ๐คฎ๐จ
Fine, that there was this deliberate depiction of the two phonecalls at the same time and Virat was shown as hanging up on PP to talk to Sai -- that Sai is his priority has been established long ago but his action of reaching out to PP where it's not needed is completely taking away from the entire blame to be pushed on PP for keeping hopes. Virat can't see she's delusional and not just disappointed. But for her, his actions are like a bonus stock of the Dum. Chalo, hopefully, tomorrow the suspense on whether the trip is happening or not will end because they didn't show a Precap by design, it means that they want us to wait for tomorrow ๐๐ ab I hope it's not a fuski bomb.
In this drag of an episode, there was definitely one loveable moment:
"Kisi din hum dono ek Saath siddhivinayak ke darshan karenge" ๐ how quick was that response. I wish his responses could be that quick in need ๐
He's planning future with her... Transfer hoga toh of course saath lekar jaaunga, Mumbai jayenge... And thank God Bappa, Sai didn't ask, "Mere doctor ban ke yahan jaane se pehle jayenge?"๐๐
This minuscule interaction was so deep and symbolic.. there is no doubt where the heart is, that the fact has been accepted, the past has been erased from the memory and replaced by the hope for tomorrow. There s no requirement for any other validation for anything..not everyone needs to know what's brewing between us... But then, when will we taste that which is brewing?

Pulkit's Sherlock Holmes skills are sharper than Miss Marple ๐ he's found his Devyani faster than Miss Marple could find Tai ke Pati. So chalo, now Miss Marple won't need to look around. She will soon be handed over the information she's being looking for... But even after seeing P-for-Pulkit teary eyed, little detective did not connect the clues -- doctor hain, baby hai, inke bhi dil mein gham hai, ye bhi ghum hai kisi ke pyaar mein... ๐ Asudya... Sabr Ka phal meetha hota Hai... ๐คซ๐คซ
Bechari Devyani will perhaps go hysterical when she meets her Pati finally. ๐ฅบ

How long a rope can be given to someone? Can one snap the rope without damaging the "image" of the relationship where it is given? Does snapping the rope mean an end to ties? Why do people fear pulling back the rope?
Thoughts to ponder on along with a hot cuppa of โโโ or ๐ต๐ต๐ต and munchies like some oven- fresh cookies ๐ช๐ช๐ช
