A Promise to Remember - Page 7

Lovely reviews and AY thank you for doing the thread for the day❤️. I am still over the moon seeing the adilie hug. Adi is so much at peace now having voiced albeit indirectly his feelings for her. Excited to see what is in store for us going forward. Lovely start to the week.

Thank you AY for your beautiful analysis and awesome caps and Gifs.

I am speechless looking at the hug. So high on it right now. So beautifully done.

Sorry for bombarding this conversation. I'm an ardent fan of all your writers here and been a silent reader to feed my Love and Interests in Adilie.

I'm so compelled to write about the part, where he holds her hand and guides her towards him. Takes her hand towards him. More or less like giving himself to her. Telling her, he is hers so very subtly.

It's in so much contrast to him telling her not to enter his room. He's always kept her away. More than the hug, the fact that he took her hand towards him was poignant for me. How he meant that she could hold him, she could touch him, she could hug him. He was giving her, her haq.

This is what makes it heart-wrenching. It wouldn't have been so, if he would have just directly hugged her. He got her close to him, conveying to her she could be close and should be close him.

Oooofff. I've watched the episode 5 times already. God knows how many more times I'd have to watch this to get over it.

A great start to a sulky Monday

so beautifully put together.. the Haq was Indeed given and how Beautifully.. He invited her in his personal space ..almost gifted himself to her as the reward for all her prayers and sabar.. that he's her from now on Fully and with his own will and she can Jatao that on him.. she doesn't have to Sacifice and that he will always keep her close .. sambhal ke in his heart EVen the situation they are in Doesn't let them Be .. *sigh*

Re: the elegance and honesty....word.....a scene like this makes me feel I got my payoff in investing all this time and energy into obsessing over this story and characters😆.....a thousand times thankful they never made them the typical LLHH couple and still brought them to this realization, this point so beautifully *touchwood*

@bold: LOL and that I guess we will find out in the next phase. They both have an inkling that the goodbye will be hard....but I think after a confession like this, they will find it doubly hard....the real test will begin when they part this time......I think the hostel track is coming - or Imlie wouldn't have mentioned the hostel today. Adi will leave on his own, I don't think she will go with him this time.

What I'm looking forward to in the next phase.....Adi realizing the true magnitude of the mess he's made.....lol and the suffocation that will actually set in once he realizes some more how wrong him and Malini always were for each other.

It's amazing that he found the courage to tell Imlie his truth even before he fully realized all his problems with Malini.....I suppose also cuz as he keeps saying....he came to PD to get an answer for his bechaini...and the answer was Imlie.....the moment he got the answer, he had to tell Imlie.....the rest he still has to process I guess.

@bold - hard is going to be an understatement 😆 Especially for a man who actually said that he could not breathe the moment she left. Glad that we were all this while seeing what was really happening and not dredging up stuff that could potentially go wrong.

I’m still not sure what happens regarding return to Delhi - these makers sometimes flip more than Aditya in that sense 😆 But yes, a parting looks inevitable. And I think necessary. But I doubt he needs her to be away to see what he needs to see anyway. Even with her being in his house, he will witness the differences pretty clearly. I cannot wait for the suffocation 😆 I’m actually feeling sorry for Malini a bit. She never stood a chance.

It was necessary for him to acknowledge Imlie as the answer to his questions before the trip ended and I’m glad they did not hold back. And I’m mostly glad they went to the crux of the matter - that her truth was his truth too and had he not been fighting destiny, he would have found that out sooner. It was always about accepting that the marriage was real. The legality will not be brought up again until the truth comes out.

How are these guys so good!! GM portrays so well! And as someone mentioned they were Adi and Imlie and not GM-ST. Today's episode blows my mind.

Everything was so beautiful. I'm so glad Adi has found his home. He's changing as a person as well. Eagerly waiting to see how things shape up. Don't know how he'd be at T house, or with Malini. He's going to miss Imlie so terribly. But I'm sure he'll be happy knowing he's cleared his conscience with Imlie, and to also know that Imlie is there with him always.

you know what would be interesting that is IF they are indeed going for Separation which i hope not.. Mear dil nahi maanta.. Adi trying to do things her way.. thinking whats he would do in a situation liek a Certain Mr Aditya Kashyap Doing things like Geet.. That is the kind of Effect she has on Mr Aditya Tripathi.. He needs to loosen himself and go back to his old rishte with new resolve and persepctive.. i mean we are seeing a bit of new adi but Still... baat ki feeling ko samjho hum kehna kya chahte hain😆

Hahaha as I said in the other post I had no idea ITV is capable of this 2.. like i knew they manage to blow your mind sometimes but that is really far off and really alag kind of shows that never manage to make it big.. to have it in this show.. and so bluntly.. I never knew I could itna kuxh ek saath. Ab khusbi sambhak nahi rahi

Lol! Absolutely. This was so unexpected but in such a good way that it blows your mind that storytelling like this is possible too. It can only get better from here

You think Imlie will go with Adi to Delhi? But I like your idea of Adi trying to things like Imlie. That would be so fun to watch 😄

Where do I begin today😆......the curtain got lifted from so many pending questions today that it's a lot to break down.

We start off first with an Imlie spitting mad as Babusahib literally follows her around like a lamb to beg her forgiveness....she keeps telling him to leave but he refuses....lol....there was a beautifully shot slow motion sequence as they showed him following her and literally moving every step in sync with hers.....she basically asked him with what haq he's following her....lol and as expected, dismissed all his big words in front of the villagers as naatak....she even brushed off his on the knees apology😆....and I guess we got our first preview of the hostel track....Imlie won't go back with him and she told him today she'll go live in a hostel in the city whenever she comes to the city. To which Adi says that married women aren't allowed to stay in hostels..... and we were shown Adi feeling a conscious pinch for the first time about Imlie saying she will take off her sindoor/MS to live in the hostel just like she did when she lived at his house. Then when he insisted on her forgiveness, she told him it's not about forgiveness ....mistakes and forgiveness happen between APNE......what are we? And in that moment Adi had no answer....the light was meant to switch on later in the episode....lol....this was step one of the realization in the epi.

LMAO@ the bit when he gets irritated and goes if you tell me to leave again, I'll leave for real and Imlie's like "BYE BYE, ab jaayiye"🤣.....oho Babusahib ki itni chop aaj, itni chop😆

Gundas finally showed up.....and the sugarcanes was what Adi BEAT THEM UP with🤣.....kahaan hum log soch rahe the Adi-Imlie saath mein baith ke ganne khaayenge.....but Babusahib ne toh ganne kya PHODE gundo ke upar ek ke baad ek😆.....setting up step number two with Adi once again saying in front of the goons that she's his wife, that the MS in her neck is Adi ke naam ka etc. etc.....Imlie finally pulls him off the goons and stares at him in shock over what all he's saying and doing.....before she finally collapses to the ground. Adi rushes to comfort her....again telling her he's with her and she asks him in turn, "Kab tak?....till when?".....Rain interrupts before he can reply....and off they go running to find shelter in a hut yet again😆

Which brings us to the third and final step of the realization today.....life came full circle as they were in a hut yet again after being caught in the rain.....but this time they had an old couple to take them in, offer them clothes and food.....finally setting up the most pivotal moment of the episode with a big window in the backdrop.....lol. Adi is literally zapped seeing Imlie in a sari with open flowing hair....not like it's the first time he's seen her in a sari with open hair....but something about the simplicity of her look there undid him for the first time......lol both of them were suddenly feeling all shy as they sat next to each other too.....haha....I actually initially thought they'll share the plate of food and finally eat together after being hungry all day😆.....but I guess the conversation was more important.....haha

Imlie opens up the conversation by again musing about how she used to think the rain is her friend but it ended up being her biggest enemy.....Adi asks for her forgiveness again...she tells him again that it's not about forgiveness but if he wants to hear it for his peace of mind, she forgives him.....but Adi still doesn't really find his peace. Imlie then moves on to musing that this naatak has dragged on too long now and finally tomorrow when he leaves, it will finally all end.....he won't have to participate in fake mannats, or pretend to support her in front of others or pretend to be her husband....that finally seemed to be too much for Adi and then begins the cycle of revealing some truths and admitting ki farak padta hai.....lol

Adi reveals that he wasn't pretending to be her husband.....and use farak padta hai....use farak padaa when Imlie left the house and he couldn't even bear to live in the house without her....doing the rituals with her, supporting her, being her husband is not a naatak for him.....so in typical Adi style, ghumaa phiraa ke bol hi diya ki hum tumhaare pati hain😆.

It became a stream of consciousness for Adi after that point in some ways as he finally let it all out in a flow....his hand reaching out to want to cup her face in yearning but pulling back at the last minute and telling her, "I did all this because I want to see you happy....humne kabhi tumse kuch nahin chhupaaya"....and finally he admits that she is the only person who knows the FULL truth about him....his torment, his majboori, his guilt...she knows it all...that she knows him more than he knows himself😲😆.....I didn't think he'd admit it so easily....but that's Adi I guess....lol

Adi has used the "pyar aur zimmedaari ke beech ki ladaai" waali line many times before to imply that Malini is the pyar and Imlie is the zimmedaari.....but today, the writers cleverly flipped it without Adi even saying it directly that Imlie is now the pyaar and Malini is the zimmedaari😆.....the meaning still came through....because everything he said after that point reinforced this.....with Adi saying, "I can't bear that the one who knows the full truth about me should think that I'm lying to her....farak padta hai is baat se humein".....and then finally culminating with, "I don't know if you'll remember me but please remember that these three days were not a lie....Remember that I will always remember you....Promise me you'll always remember that you've made a place in my heart". And then ofcourse, because it is Imlie, she understands completely and gives him that promise just as he asked.

The hug in the end was so beautifully built up and shot.....this entire PD trip has been about both of them restlessly searching for a sign that they matter to each other.....and in this moment they both got their answer. You could feel the palpable emotion between them as they both want to reach out to hold each other....each hesitating to hold the other's hand....until finally Adi is able to pull her into a hug....and the SUKOON that spreads over both of them as they settle into that hug....the tears that fall from both their eyes as they hug each other in that moment....what a culmination....I feel like I a witnessed something out of an old classic film....the way they captured the emotion of these two characters in that moment was something else......Kudos to GM-ST and the direction team for such a wonderful sequence.

Well, a lot happened today.....in directions contrary to many of our predictions😆...so I guess we should process that for a bit.

Precap seems to be a comical moment as they prepare to go to that restaurant.....Adi-Imlie seem to be at peace cuz they managed to speak their truth to each other....I guess woh baaki ka baad mein sochenge😆

lovely analysis. Last portion of the episode was something else. Setting, background music, lighting and of course our two bail Buddis romance. omg what a execution. I have already watched last portion 3 times and have to watch few more times before going to bed😂😂😂😂 That hug and tears run down their eyes. The way Adi pulled her towards him and finally she gave in....This type of romance you can't even find in today's Bollywood movies. Romte khade ho gaye when they finally hugged each other. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

So beautiful the steps taken together, the intensity of feelings, the conversation in the hut. It's so surprising to see this kind of honesty in an iTV show!! These two characters - true to themselves and true to the other. So refreshing!! The way the plot is set up, honesty is the last thing that should come to our mind when we are talking about these characters. Yet, these two are very simple, honest ppl who are stuck in this very complicated situation which allows them to be anything, but truthful. That's the irony of this story!!

How surprising was the journey from love towards Malini and Jammidari towards Imlie to Imlie being the love and Malini Jammidari. I guess from the very beginning, since he met Imlie, it was slowly shifting. He had the responsibility towards Malini of a seven year relationship, whereas his relationship with Imlie was undefined other than some sort of connection. The connection grow stronger and deeper with everything that they went through and eventually BS realized what love actually is. It's something jo ho jata hain, you can't decide when and with whom.

I now think, the poem was not intended for Adi to realize his feeling for Imlie, rather than for Malini to realize how Imlie is the one Adi. Adi toh already knows that Imlie understands him better than he himself does. The poem was for Malini. Eventually when the truth comes out it will help Malini to understand that these two were always meant to be together. It was so telling that Adi couldn't even take Moon's name today. What have you done BS? This is what happens when you are too busy checking the boxes of life, rather than trying to understand yourself.

The hug- how beautiful was that!! 😳 The way they were yearning to reach out to the other, finally Adi pulling Imlie into a hug, giving her haq over him. So so beautifully done. ❤️ The cvs are setting the bar very high for themselves, how will they keep up? 😆

+1 to all of this .. It again puts a stamp on what we have always thought... this was more about keeping a promise not going back on his word thing.. plsu it helped that it was an egobattle too then ke main apni marzi karta hoon kisi ka zor nahi hai mujhpe destiny is nothing..

Actually if You see and Fb a little it brings a lot of thing s in prospective his journey to acceptance about his rishta started happening back then only.. and again i will refresh sabki memory by taking them back to The scene just before his wedding his dad telling himt he improtance of the rituals his face then having memory of all that in his head... the acceptance has started but the satya ka saath dene wala banda that he is couldn't have backed off then from his commitment that he made to malini that would've broken him then ke apne hi asool se phir gaya caz at that point it was allhe had to take pride in to feel like he is still himself.. after the traumatizing happenings of pD very fresh in his mind then.. at that time he needed to grasp this ke sab iske control main hai... so he went ahead but then in the process he came to the realization what pyar was and what jimmedari was .. and sicne then there has been no going back at every point a stark contrast has been set for the audience to see kaun pyar hai zaroorat hai and kaun zimmedari hai, duty hai ogligation hai.. hence it brings his Whole OTT behavior with malini in perspective too.. now that you think of it it feels faker then fake if tehre is any such thing and it puts it together why he had to try extra hard to make it convincing caz humko lag raha tha woh pyaar hai but all along asal zimmedari toh woh thi and zimmedari ke saath Pda asli toh ho nahi sakta..

The separation will.be there to realise BS what Imaliya actually means to him☺️

Though it won't be long but definitely will be for 15-20 days😆and will be full of tears and angst😆 but the end result which we will get will be worth these tears😆

PS: when Adi mentioned "hum pyaar and zimmedari k beech fanse h"🥺 Imaliya had a fb of BS and Malini didi' s marriage😭 I am assuming she knows he has accepted him but thinks he has categorised her in Zimmedari column😆

Babe Imaliya 😆you are in for a surprise,😉just wait till you return to Delhi and your BS to find out that you are back☺️
