I do not want to jinx anything with my title, so crossed my toes while typing the title. Many folks in my posts have laughed about the colorful different lollipops CVs give us to hold our breath for the love story that is about to start. I would have died by now if I held my breath for that long😉. Today, for the first time though it felt that the love story started. The first golden letter was written today for the new beginning between JaJo, such positivity existed today between both of them. I do not want to forget the lesson taught by my Jalal, so thank you CVs for another excellent episode and such positive progression.
Jodha's ultimate sacrifice has given Jalal hope. A hope that his forever yearning of being loved and completed by someone is possible. His soul identified that Jodha was the one, the DHAKKA caused by MA broke all the hopes but sacrifice by Jodha brought the same hope back. MA had created false hopes in Jalal by manipulating the letter that let to his heartbreak. Jodha's pure act and god being on his side by saving Jodha has given Jalal the desire to be completed back. Inspite of all this Jalal is still hesitant about taking big steps towards Jodha. We could see that clearly in yesterday and today's episode, RT has been superb in portraying such small nuances by his eyes, voice modulation or by the way he moves. I was wondering why after the ultimate sacrifice Jalal is still hesitant on going near Jodha. Jalal himself told Jodha that she went all the way because he has a place in her heart. I feel Jalal is not going to the next step of getting closer to Jodha without getting loud and clear signals from her. Yes, the poison drinking act was loud. But, that did not indicate that she does not mind his being close to her. The repeated ratri vyatit tantrums that she threw, will have to be fixed by her. CVs keep my laaz on this one please. How it would redeem Jodha in my eyes, if she took initiative to indicate to Jalal that she is more than okay with their closeness. She did take some baby steps in that direction today, so me gets more hopeful!😊
The conversation in the room was so adorable and soothing. After so many endless tracks, we finally see the two love birds talk about their feelings so openly and clearly. All through that conversation I felt Jodha was so transparent and Jalal was so TEDA. Yet, he tells her that understanding you is as difficult as winning a battle - seriously Jalal? Jodha clearly tells Jalal that she did not want to lose him. She gave glaring evidences to Jalal about her jealousy regarding Ben. She also told him that she did not care about audha or never felt insecure because of Ben getting audha. Jalal would have clearly understood that Jodha loves him, cannot stand his praising another woman and does not care about materialistic things. Did Jalal leave any clear clues for Jodha? Did he answer any question of hers directly? Not at all, don't you dare tell any woman that they are difficult to understand Jalal. You are the most complicated TEDA personality, and may be Jodha likes the TEDA kind. It was so cute the way Jodha kept asking Jalal about Ben's beauty. Jodha so badly wanted Jalal to say that she was way more beautiful than Ben. It was also endearing the way Jalal hesitantly (RT you are awesome here) tells Jodha that her heart has a space for him. Jodha shyly does not deny it, PS was superb here. I love Jodha's excuses, she is such a kid. She says I did not like Ben because of her clothes. I was surprised that Jalal did not laugh on that one, as I did. He tells her that Ben had to be beautiful as women in harem were jealous of her. Jalal did not care about other women, he was only referring to Jodha the woman - the one that mattered to him the most. How relieved Jalal must be feeling now that he knows for sure that Jodha was and is jealous of Ben because she cannot see Jalal appreciating someone else. I went back to the day when he had painfully concluded that it was not jealousy, as one has to care in order to be jealous. The dialog of the day was Jalal's, he openly admits that only one Raajvanshi has the taap to bite Jalal👏. How witty was that reply, how adorable was RT laughing away and how adorable was PS smiling slowly at it. I wanted to put a KAALA TIKA on these two at that moment.😳
Jalal decides to leave, but Jodha has not had enough of him (no double meaning intended😆). Just like she did not want Moti to stop talking about him, she did not want to lose his company. She makes an excuse of wanting to go out, hinting to Jalal that he should stay back. Jalal does not really get the hint and calls her jiddi. She also does not hesitate in taking that as she knows he loves that raajvanshi quality of hers. She takes the first tiny step of claiming rights of being a wife. He was so happy with that demand, it was first time Jodha the wife asking Jalal the husband for something. She enjoyed the fact that he wanted to take her out and kept Moti out of it. Jodha was so checking Jalal out in the garden. She was enjoying all his attention and care. Her eyes said it loud and clear that she is madly in love with Jalal. Jodha shows her transparent jealousy trait again by asking him one more time about Ben. OMG, Jodha stop giving so many clues already. Jalal the TEDA again admits that Ben was beautiful. Jodha does not get mad, but expresses her dissatisfaction clearly. Jalal who reads her eyes wishes he could tell her more. Jalal wished that she never gave anybody so much space around him that they could come between them. Jalal stares at Jodha and she does not mind it at all, she is openly giving hints to Jalal that I am enjoying all your attention. These are tiny steps Jodha is taking, but she might have to give a bigger hint like why don't you just spend the night in my hojra and we can talk all night. You see the soap female lead cannot ask her husband to stay back the whole night for any other reason.😉
I was glad to see Ruqu going back without throwing any more tantrums with Moti. I was also relieved to see her visit MA. Atleast she told MA that she does not want to be part of any of her evil plans. In doing all that MA the shatir understood that Ruqu likes Jodha for saving Jalal, but hates her for getting so close to Jalal. MA has decided to use Ruqu as a pawn to get her agenda of throwing Jodha out yet again. We all know Ruqu who loves her AUDHA so much is very easily going to fall for these traps. Its not because MA is so clever, its because JaJo are openly showing their love and admiration for each other. BTW, MA has also started predicting future now. She announces the ghamasand yudh about to start. Jalal back to DEK was also a good scene as I was worried he would become a poodle and forget about his empire. Jalal was so happy when he finds out that MH went to see Jodha first. It shows how much he loves Jodha. It was also good to see Jodha tell MS that he kept his vachan about being there for Jalal, the person that matters most to her. The way they were checking out each other, smiling at each other in front of so many people was so cute. Such a cute phase they are going through, hope it lasts little longer..
Precap: The much awaited jealousy or love triangle track starts. I for one think this will only do good. As we know in the end Ruqu will be happy or accept that Jalal's happiness is with Jodha. This will make MA alone in Agra and how badly I want this to happen. Jodha yet again demands her right to be with her husband. Jalal take care of your heart buddy, the way Jodha is demanding her rights it might just result in heart attack.
