i agree...but why am i not holding my breathe just yet? i think barkha and nani might push this ishana-nikhil train a little more in front of laajo, and then maybe something else happens where laajo uses her background experience and knowledge and nani might get the idea to send her away by having her study. i wish it was nikhil who offered this to her, but with the story right now, i dont think so. i think nani and barkha will coerce nikhil into agreeing (well i dont think they really have to coerce him much into agreeing to it) and hence laajo gets to study, nikhil reflects on not having laajo's presence. not that he will fall for her during the time gone, but he will feel the lost of her presence...hence during her time away she might meet the second male lead????
