Y'all... The Prerna and Kookie scene today :") I cant believe it. FINALLY. The mother and daughter were bonding over the best man in their lives - The Rishabh Bajaj.
This was their conversation :')
Prerna : Jab main tumhare father se mili thi tab mujhe bhi feel hota tha ke woh aise kyun hain?
Kookie : Kaise?
Prerna : Zyada baat nahi karte..ajeeb sa weird sa.. kabhi kuch express nahi karte.. but he's a really good guy
Kookie : Main janti hoon.. Dad is the best :') Mere hero hain woh..
Lekin nahin woh pyaar jatate hain nahin mujhe pyaar jatane dete hain
Anyway aaj dad ke saath time spend kar paauun isliye class miss kardi. Socha tha dad mujhe time nahi dete toh main unhe airport hi chhordoon. Isi bahane time mil jayega
Prerna, Dad mujhse pyaar kyun nahi karte, matlab bachpan mein mujhe itna pyaar karte the, ab kyun nahi karte..kyunki mein badi ho gayi?
Prerna, completely disagreeing : Are you mad,Kookie? woh tumhe abhi bhi pyaar karte hain, he loves you even now..
Problem yeh hain ki woh aasani se jaate nahi sakte, he can't share it with anyone so easily no?
Kookie : Please Prerna, mujhe behelao mat
Prerna : arre.. tum na badi ho chuki ho par tumhara dimag abhi bhi bachchon ki tarah hi hain. Kuch bhi bol rahi ho..
Kookie,finally : Main janti hoon ke woh mujhe pyaar karte hain, lekin unhone mujhse properly goodbye bhi nahi kaha, main unhe hug karna chahti thi and he just left like that :'(
Prerna, understanding : you know na, woh itni jaldi... He doesn't open up, share nahi kar paate, express nahi kar paate.. but he misses you and loves you..
Kookie : am sure he does, but Prerna tumhe nahi lagta tum dad ka bohut jyada side leti ho >:( I know unka nature kaisa hain bachhpan se leke aajtak dekh hi rahi hoon.. Pata nahi kya badal gaya hain. Kuch toh baat hain jo mujhhe pata nahi hain.. Dad ko mujhse door kar rahi hain..
Prerna, softly : it's not that...
Firstly, how sweet and comfortable is Prerna and Kookie's mother daughter relationship. They are more like friends. Kookie can share everything with her Prerna without a worry.
Secondly, and most importantly the way Prerna was talking about Rishabh. Prerna was so adamant to defend her reticent husband :')
Nobody knows Rishabh more than Prerna. She's been on the receiving end of his silent devotion and care for so long,for almost a decade. She knows how easy it is to misunderstand him. She's been there.She knows that he's a man of few words and he can't express himself much BUT he's instead man of action who would move mountains for his family especially for his baby, Kookie :')
What Rishabh has always wanted has finally happened. He has a family who loves him and appreciates the person, the human being he is.
Once upon a time he had told Prerna : Main chahta hoon ki aap Rishabh ko jaane.
Prerna finally knows Rishabh.
Once upon a time she had said : 99% log aapko galat hi samajhte hain
Rishabh has asked 'Kya aap un 1% logon mein se hain?
Prerna is finally the 1%.
Once upon a time Rishabh had said that he too has a heart and that it hurts.
Prerna knows this more than anyone else now.
This is poetic justice and its beautiful to see.
Rishabh finally has someone who knows him for who he is.
I see this being a plot point later, it's now definite : That Kookie will feel insecure and about her dad's love.
And Prerna will defend her husband to the end.
Kookie, you don't know the extent of your father's love for you and you will see it so clearly if one hair on your head gets hurt. He's gonna burn the world if you're ever in pain. The man had no limits when it comes to protecting his family and you will know just how much he's willing to do for you.
I loved this so much. I've been waiting for Prerna and Kookie to discuss Rishabh and see how they perceive him.
That 'Tum humesha dad ki side leti ho' That foreshadowing! Prerna's test is the ultimate one. When the time comes to choose, she will take in what kinda man he is,all that he's done for her. All in silence. Quiet love. But she won't choose him outta gratitude,no. She would choose him because that's the kind of man who deserves love,her love.
Rishabh has never asked for anything, but Prerna would give him the world one day because that man deserves that and so much more.
I am just so happy for Rishabh. An abusive childhood,always misunderstood by people he cares about,cold demeanor to hide a fragile heart. He now has a wife and daughter who appreciate him for who he is.
