I was quite a bit disappointed with Ishqi when she didn't say a word in yesterday's episode. And ready to take all the hatred in the world for something she didn't do at the same time, indirectly protecting Mayank.
Although yes, she shouldn't have given it all to Ahaan kyunki fir kuch nai bachta but..She could've given him some hints upon Mayank atleast (w/o mentioning what happened exactly.
(If people are assuming that I wasn't mad Ahaan..then hell no. Infact I believe he doesn't even deserve Ishqi's selfless love after the way he's behaving. The man has to really buckle up and do everything in the world to get a girl like Ishqi. She's too pure for these Malhotras.)
So when Ahaan said,
"Ishqi, tumne jo karna tha woh karlia. Ab atleast mujhe reason to batao tumne aisa kyu kia. "
She could've said,
"AVM main aapko iss waqt sirf itna bol sakti hu ki mujhpe trust kijiye. Mujhe pata hai, jo kuch hua usse mujhpe trust karna mushkil hai but main sirf itna keh sakti hu aapko, ki maine aaj jo kia woh bilkul theek kia.
Iss shaadi ki tootne ki wajah aur nahi balki.."
(While Ahaan would think, she'll take his name, she would say)
"..khud Mayank hai. Agar main aapko reason batati toh aap khud mujhe uss mandap se uthate, aap kya Suman aunty aur Shekhar uncle khud mujhe yeh shaadi nai karne dete."
"What are saying Ishqi? Yeh sab kya bole jaa rahi ho tum?"
"Main bilkul theek keh rahi hu AVM. Aap jis Mayank ko jaante hai aur main jis Mayank ko jaan chuki hu, usme zameen asmaan ka farak hai."
"Ishqi, tum yeh sab sirf isliye keh rai ho because you had no feelings for Mayank."
"AVM, maine toh uss insaan ke sath ek rishta banne se pehle tod diya. Aap jis din uss insaan ke baare mein jaan jaenge, aap barso purani iss dosti ko bhul jaenge. "
And then because obviously, Ahaan ko abhi poora sach nai batana toh they could've shown some sudden disturbance. Jiski wajah se Ahaan would have to leave this conversation mid way.
Ishqi should've left after this, breaking all the contacts with the Malhotras.
AVM would try to reach her, to get it all out of her what she was saying. But all in vain.
He won't go n ask Mayank, because she didn't really give him what exactly to ask Mayank.
He would never go to Sonu, coz Sonu ka kahi naam hi nai aaya.
So he could spend 6 months all in contemplation ki yeh ladki kya bol gayi at the same time proceeding with his wedding plans.
This way, the whole over the top, hatred track of Ahaan n Balidaan tag of Ishqi could've been skipped.
