You are absolutely right about the vachan being taken in such an emotional setting, perhaps too fast even before it registers into her head. But at the point where she has started to feel that she is committing a sin against her husband by upholding this vachan, shouldn't there be considerations be given whether she should continue to keep that promise?
She did give her word in a very high emotion setting. But as the drama heightens I feel she should reconsider keeping the promise. Yes, she is a Rajvanshi who will not go back on a promise. But two lives are at stake now, and so is her marriage. I don't doubt at all that Jalal remains trusting her, but her silence is creatinga huge canyon in their marriage right now.
As much as it is against our principles, there are times when one has to contemplate holding to what is their principal against what is the best for the current situation.
And its so true that she is not a wonder woman. She need lots of help if she is going to always keep Jalal safe, which appears to be her greatest fear right now. Ben track ended in favour for her as in she saved Jalal and their bond got stronger, What if (of course with the CV's this scenario will never happen) she died, and at the same time Ben managed to kill Jalal too? For her to save him, she need to be save and well too. At the very least she doesn't have to deliberately endanger herself.
She stood rock firm that Ben is the danger even when HB doubted her. But she did confide in HB and salima. That too based on what shariffudin told her. And here her own brother is telling her that her husband is in danger, why not seek their help? She can't tell Jalal. But she can tell them, na?
To me, to have given that promise is not a problem. But to stubbornly maintain it is.
About Ruq lying. In the eyes of Jalal Ruqs and Jodha are different.
Jalal knows that Ruqs is capable of such thing, eventhough he thinks its beneath her to stoop so low, hence the reason why his view of her has reduced.
But from beginning Jalal has viewed Jodha as someone honest. In fact it is one of her hunar that really sets her solid as a queen, to me. Not to have any cunningness but honest, attack in the face attitude, like a thoroughbred warrior.
So to me it would be wrong to say that its okay for Jodha to react the same way as Ruqs. No Jodha cannot do that, because that is against her very being.
Hence it bothers me so much that she keeps mum over his repeated questions, as when it is clear he has so much of trust in her, from her side, she could offer some respect for the trust and reveal the truth to him.
He was angry with her when she told him that she met Shariffudin in jail. But he didn't punish her or condemn her, And she didn't stop those visits. Why is it so different now? Its because of the promise isnt' it?
