Apart from the comedy, no sorry that was supposed to be melodrama part of the episode, it was a good one. I was just happy that we still got the normal Aditya and not the one that gets selective amnesia as soon there is an emotional interaction with Imlie. 😊
May be its because I was seeing all the previous Adilie scenes but today the whole aftermath of the fight scene reminded me about the aftermath of the gun shot scene. In the gunshot scene, Aditya was leaving her for good and Imlie was one who was hurt. Aditya's reaction, then was to leave everything aside and rush to her side. First time, we got a glimpse of an Aditya who was unraveled and unsettled. He had no qualms of using any means to reach her side nor of breaking the laws. His only want or concern was to save her. In that little moment ,there was nothing for him, , not his anger, not his Moon, not his ego, not his pride, not his determination to leave, it was only her and his desperate need to keep her alive just because he could not bear the thought of losing her. It was the ultimate display of what levels this man could go for something that is important to him.
It is an interesting parallel to draw here between the 2 scenes. Imlie took a bullet for her pati/Aditya whereas Adi (almost) took one for his usool/beliefs/truth. In PD, he was ready to hunt down the cops and avenge their 7 janams and called Imlie his WIFE loud and clear.
Imlie on the other hand, as you pointed out has her own set of usool/beliefs and will not break them. She hesitated before calling herself as Naukrani and not WIFE as he took that away from her, by stating that he did not believe in the marriage, that it was illegal etc etc..
She also fought with the cops and would have given up her life, to save him... what lovely idiots these two, they care for each other so much and don't realize it yet. I think him realizing the fear, that she was actually leaving without coming to him, was the final straw before he lost his 'hosh'. His reaction at home was rather 'thanda' and did not look beaten down or too worried. Was he afraid of giving away too much to the rest of the family and to Mun?...
On the other side, Imlie was in the same scenario. She was leaving and Aditya was hurt. She did the same thing Aditya had done, to reach him. There was no boundary, no law, no rules, no pride at that moment. Just this inherent wish to reach him and make sure he was safe. But where Aditya had no qualms of crossing his own defined boundaries, Imlie could not do it. Her "Pati ki baat maana, dharam hain" belief stopped her. That moment where they both looked at each other was so telling. It was almost as if Aditya was expecting, waiting for her to come to him but there was a laxman rekha, that he himself had made her drawn, that she could not cross. His gaze was so potent almost demanding, that she literally had to close her eyes to not break that boundary. They always had this connection, that without saying any words they convey so many things and that gaze said it all. it was also the first time, Imlie did not answer his call and turned her back on him which then gave rise to confusion mingled with fear in him. I think at this moment Aditya started realizing that she was very serious about leaving which was all confirmed when he saw her in the mirror. The telling moment though was that till date he has never turned back to see her but today when he knew she was leaving him for good, he could not stop himself. Methinks, inspite of all the tall claims that he makes to the contradictory, Aditya will never be able to walk away nor let her go, ever.
Lastly, hence I think when the time comes, Aditya will always fight for them nor give up but Imlie will always follow the boundary or protocols of a relationship and her beliefs. Now we just have wait and see, at that time (which is verrrrrrry far away) if she can refuse her BS (because its dharam and all 😆) or Aditya's guilt towards Moon will win.
Love this bit and Aditya fighting for their relation, I do not care for what others think, just what you think, will be the day. 😆
