I just wanted to talk about the last bit of the episode because honestly I just can't! What a beautiful, beautiful sequence. Atharv being so assured and so confident in the love he has for Vividha, knowing that it will compel her to disregard all the shackles she's been in her entire life, just to stop him from leaving.
Atharv knowing Vividha better than she knows herself, knowing that she will find him, knowing that she won't be able to let him leave, and then telling his mom and dada jaan the same was so outstanding. Sometimes love is a force unto itself, one that we hold pure conviction of, one that settles everything in our life like gravity. And that's what love is for Atharv, it is a force to be reckoned with. It motivates and assures him, and with every step in love's direction Atharv only grows more convinced about himself and of Vividha.
Vividha though, who thinks several times before doing anything, who is both meek and strong, and who consistently puts herself second, for the first time today was full of pure and selfish motivation. She couldn't stand the thought of Atharv leaving the city, leaving her. It finally, finally, hit her that there's something there. Something that links him to her like a tether, something unshakable and perhaps in the future unbreakable, It's there and its pulling at her with everything it's got, and it's that force that Atharv believes so wholeheartedly.
"Woh saare bandhan todh ke aayegi, tumne toh kaha tha ke dil ki suno, dimaag raaste banata hai, magar dil raaste dikhta hai aur vividha mere dil ka vishwas hai maa" 😳😳😳
Atharv's self-confidence, his assurance in his own love for Vividha which is so pure, so full of selflessness, is so purely altruistic that it called out for Vividha across the distance between them. Like it always will.
And that precap!!! Atharv's "prem kahani toh abb shuru hogi" WITH VIVIDHA RUNNING INTO HIS ARMS. And that look on his face, both relief and awe. Knowing she was on her way to him, knowing that this was bound to happen, knowing that she did love him, but finally in this moment living it. He can't help but close his eyes in relief that this is a moment he'd dreamed about but is finally living.
