Wow what and episode I have finally managed to catch-up with all the excitementđ. What can I say that you all have not said already so beautifully.
The whole sequence has been edited so beautifully that one can only replay it in loops. Both the pain and longing can be seen in Aditya and Imlie eyes. The craving the confusion and far more the surprise of finding each other through this though time is a testament to what they have become to each other with time. Realising that they are in love is a far fetch emotion but today I could truly see the duty and the value of the path taken by imlie being fulfilled. She had always seen him as her life partner but far beyond that her friend. She has upheld her vow to protect her sindoor no matter the test. Today was such a day where she had to lay her feelings at bay and come for him.
For she has always felt a longing for him as he had become someone she admired. There marriage had not been based upon agreement but one can see they both have come to respect each other. You could feel her pain when he had looked down at her as she always has looked up at him. One cannot agree his feelings in the earlier episode where meant to be biased. He was wishing her well from his heart wanting more for her then he could offer. We could see the honesty. One thing we have learnt of him he has never been good with words, he struggles to show emotion only walking through life bound by duty.
We have seen him bound by the promise he made Maline for him love has always been someone whom is like him. The slight distance from Imlie had him questioning his inner self worried what she had thought. Itâs not easy for him to forget all he had before he met her. I often disagree that people would simply accept thatâs not the case. We would fight and they both have done that in her own way. Imlie has upheld her honour valuing the teaching of her mother, her land her family.
We have to remember Aditya doesnât know why she is so bound by the duty of the marriage why she upheld the sindoor. He does not know that her whole life was changed because of the father she never had the mother whom she saw long for the man she loved. The respect she craved and the duty she wished to have.
Imlie maybe naive in so many ways but the one pain of reality has sparked her respect for duty. Whereas Aditya has always seen a compete home where family comes together mutual respect once bound by duty. Itâs like his farther had said to him back when he was getting married one learns to life with duty and responsibility comes naturally as one feels itâs never thought but found.
He has found that click with imlie but at the same time he cannot see it himself that the woman is so much more to him. She is the gentle balm that he craves a hope his heart seeks. Yes he is to learn that the path is never straight and sometimes one does lose to gain others. Her being there for him today was both a surprise and relief.
He knew he needed to see her and as surprised as he was he secretly wished she was there for him too to hold him as he had held her. He can deny it for he doesnât understand what they have but with the space between he will soon learn more of what he wants and what he needs.
Him letting her in was one of those steps and her letting him go was another for both have neither admitted that there friendship has become to mean more then they realised it could. For they are both homesick even though they are yet to learn why.
