Mansi,
Wonderful post !! and an equally apt title .
The episode was wonderful, barring the pace at which this show is going I feel that the course that jodha n jalal have taken is set n more or less stable in terms of taking a step ahead towards friendship.
Jodha was a delight to watch today , but too sugary for my taste, though iam happy with the way she carried herself throughout the episode . She was every bit , in making of a good wife n soulmate to jalal. Besides , he being a shy n goody goody doll like behaviour , wat was so interesting for me ,was to have witnessed her changing attitude towards letting jalal touch her .From yesterday's HOW-DARE-YOU-TOUCH-ME-AND-BREAK-YOUR-PROMISE-TO- ME from disclosing it to moti that shenshah cannot touch me without my consent 👍🏼 (u caught the right mood , sweety). It was a complete U turn for me. I felt a gap, or perhaps a need for self talk that we usually are treated with as far as jalal's fellings n thougts are concerned in the show but nevertheless tommorrow's precap sure does present a gud picture to me , in the form of dress-up-with-moti-talk-session.
The second and the most important revelation has been already pointed out by you . Jalal wants a wife n he desperately wants one, and since our dear ruqaiya is in no mood to fill this post , he would fall like a ripe mango into jodha's lap. What was of paramount important between jalal-ruqaiya conversation , is the near fact tht jalal now partially believes tht ruqu is not jealous of his bedding jodha , which is directly proportional to his wanting to spend more time with her and getting away saying tht since you are not jealous , why do u care even if i spend my time with one of my begums.
Ruqaiya on the other hand is also going to feel the pinch of jalal not returning her love , the way she desires . I must also confess though she was all over the place today and not sticking to one emotion she was feeling , this facade of putting up I-the -best/ mallika-e-khas in front of everyone is going to cost her dearly. She would be alone and all alone in her misery ,I felt bad for her as she would not be able to share with her very own hoshiyaar.
Though very less possibility of ruqaiya's redemption , I would still wnt C.V's to have her stick to one feeling per episode n not go hating n praising jodha in the same episode n also parallely feel what it is like to feel the pain of denial of love. Then her actions, or motivations to act against jodha would seem more viable to one and all.
