I know this is beaten to death topic. But I wanted to bring this now because today is an important and dramatic turn in the lives of Samrat, Virat, Sai and Pakhi. All their lives were once changed by Virat with his one decision. Not his decision to move away from Pakhi, but his decision to give her the infamous vaada.
I always believed Virat's vaada, came from a pure place but is a result of his inexperience clubbed with his overestimation of himself and his emotions(at that time). He assumed quite a lot of things. That
1. He will never be able to love another girl
2. Pakhi will love Samrat as he is a good man
3. Pakhi might get over him soon(He didnt fully comprehend the effect he had on her)
4. His marriage to Sai automatically nullified his Vaada. Because marriage is for life.
5. His repeated denial will make Pakhi get over the vaada.
6. Pakhi will not do anything that is immoral or brings bad name to their family and hence would stay in limits because the vaada had 'friendship' clause.
Virat found closure when he married Sai, or even before when he decided to not marry Pakhi. He had time to think and decide in both situations. He was mentally prepared while making those decisions, so there is an inevitable closure when you do things in finality. Later, when he fell in love with Sai and started to imagine normal future with Sai, his assumptions above were considered facts by him. So he stopped looking back at them anymore. Though he is emotionally moved away from the past and Pakhi, Virat is still tied to Pakhi through the 'action'...his Vaada. The karma is still stuck to him in the form Samrakhi's stagnant relationship. Only way he could get rid of it is to apologize to Pakhi for this blunder called Vaada.
Pakhi will find closure in his acceptance that he made a mistake by falsely raising hopes. His assumptions were all rendered wrong. He might not have thought about it in that way then, but now he sees its effects. So it is an unintentional mistake that impacted her and Samrat by extension. His apology has power to change her!
Virat should go to Pakhi and Samrat and apologize Pakhi in front of Samrat. If Pakhi gets the closure, Samrat will too! Virat is capable of doing it and Sai can help him in this.
PS: This is keeping RK's character in mind. Pakhi for me crossed the line of evil in AJ track as I have mentioned several times. Storywise, this is what should happen for Pakhi to move on in my opinion.
