I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.
She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.
- Pablo Neruda
When I was growing up I read this poem of Pablo Neruda and these lines kind of stuck with me. The longing and the pain in the writer's lines always stayed with me. Today when I saw the episode the end was so so emotionally exhausting that I just remembered these lines. I had to actually search for this poem because I remembered the opening line only and forgot the author name. Google helped me out with the line itself. Google zindabad.
Coming to the story and episode What to say. My heart went out to both Dev and Chandni. Yes both are victims of Indrani's wicked ways and all this time you could see the pain of Dev One who saw his mother being burned after being branded a witch and One who lost his brother because his best friend gave away their secret meeting place. Dev thinks he has been betrayed the worst by his best friend and is burning in revenge to hurt Chandni. Nani being a voice of reason tries to reason with him but he is still hurting. The wound is still festering for 16 long yrs.
Today when PP took Chandni for date it was Dev that was jealous It was Dev who was worried for her and called her on her phone. He rushed to her immediately when he sensed she was in danger they have a soul connection. And the way Chandni recounts her terror, her kidnapping and the aftermath, how can Dev even hold himself back. After all this was his bestie, one whom he had such a beautiful childhood with, One who adored him and fought with and One for whom he was possessive. Nope that Dev couldn't just hold back his tears after hearing what all his Chandni had to gone through. Does it mean he is going to forget revenge ? Nope I don't think so. He is going to hurt her and hurt her bad and then he is going to understand her love and walk the redemption path to get to her.
This is going to be an intense story and I am so glad that Gul stuck to her guns when she cast Shivani and Barun for the roles. Today Shivani delivered and how She totally blew away my expectations from her. The fear and trauma of Chandni, her panic attack and her recounting the terror She did it so perfect with no OTT expressions and I really felt Chandni's pain. Barun anyway is awesome in emoting without any dialogues but today he showed every range of emotion from Dev's jealousy, to his denial, to his feeling uneasiness about Chandni and him understanding what happened to Chandni in his absence.
Yes Sometimes Dev Loved Chandni too The last few flashbacks were the icing on the cake. Purrfect
