Update 29^th August 2005

Anand and Ratna arrive at the hospital where Samaya's mom is waiting outside her ward. Samaya's mom is in tears. Anand inquires about Mathew and her mom starts a tirade on Mathew. Samaya's mom gives Ratna a letter left for her by Samaya before she attempted suicide. Samaya's mom is distraut. Police is waiting to take her statement, but the doctor says that she is yet to get conscious.

Akash's home… breakfast table, where a good natured banter is going on about the quality of breakfast given by Jhelaram, by Dadaji… Akash tries to intervene but gives up. Akashs daughter looks at them and smiles away. Akash is exasperated and requests them to keep quiet. All of them, the daughter, Jhela ram and Dadaji get behind Akash to get married, so that there is a woman in the house to take care of the household work. Dadaji wants a bahu in the house to save him from the stale parathas given by Jhelaram. In the midst of all this confusion, Akash and his daughter leave.

Anand and Ratna reads the suicide note left behind by Samaya, where she writes about her life.. and says that the letter is only intended for Ratna and no other. Samaya expresses her regret on falling in love with a married man, as it leads to nowhere, as there is no destination to that journey. She kept waiting for ever, for the endless dates, endless commitments, her wait for him, when he never came. She expresses her regret to Ratna that Mathew had changed his number and wiped out every vestige of their life together, leaving her completely heartbroken and alone.. and asks for her forgiveness for her interference in the life of Ratna and Anand. Both Anand and Ratna are upset to read the letter. Anand gets a call on his cell, but he glances at it and cuts off the phone.

Piya is sitting in the cabin of one Dr. Geetha Rao, a consulting psychologist, who says that her life story is quite interesting and inquires about their life together.. the beginning of their life and asks her to narrate the whole story.

Flashback.. Piya looking young… recollects the scene when a young Anand, an architecture student invites her to the coffee shop, having seen or waited for her every evening after college.. and Piya analysis the state of his mind.. and completely throws him off guard… Piya is not impressed with him and very earnestly tells him that if all the men waited for her after college and proposed to her, then what would happen to the countless other girls in the world and tells Anand that even if Anand were the last man on earth… and even if they both were Adam and Eve, Piya would never ever… Before she could complete the sentence, Anand interrupts her and calls our Piya, which distracts her and she takes off on Anand knowing her name….

Sara and her father argue… about Piya being sent to a psychiatrist … Mohan defends the act of sending Piya to the psychiatrist.. Sara confronts Mohan about Anand etc… and Mohan expresses his feelings on the subject. He expresses his views that Sara has gone on a complete one track mind that she takes off all the time and Piya is unable to open her mind and talk about it to her. Piya's dad agrees with Mohan.

The doc talks to Piya about life going on and life not coming to a standstill. The doc explains that Piya has not faced any unusual problem, that this happens with a lot of people and there is a solution to every problem…

Sara is faced with her own failings and is regretful… Piya's dad says that Piya does not want to share anything with anyone at all. Sara says she loves Piya a lot and she cannot bear to see her unhappy. Sara says that she has been Piya's counselor all her life.. be it school days, her college days, her initial days with Anand… all important events in Piya's life, Sara was the counselor. She is teary eyed that Piya does not and is not able to share anything with her anymore. That she is hurt with all their attitude in sending Piya to a psychiatrist without consulting her even once.

The doc is questioning Piya about her feelings for Anand.. how she felt, what was in her mind.. whether she ever imagined that Anand could leave her… whether she got any doubt or indication of Anand's infidelity… of any signs of his wavering feelings…She asks Piya if she had ever thought as to why Anand betrayed her.. why Anand left her for Ratna.. what is the lacuna in her .. whats the drawback in her which makes him leave her and go to Ratna… what was the reason for a man to leave his wife and family and get drawn to another woman… She asks Piya if she has ever explored these feelings or thoughts… that Anand was not a loafer.. that he was an educated man… so what was the reason for his wavering hearts…..

Piya is left in thoughts at the doubts thrown up by the Doctor….

Preview:- Piya is upset when Karan follows her and she gives him good for doing that. Dadaji asks Akash what he plans from life. Samaya is shown lying, eyes open on the hospital bed and Ratna approaches her.

Comments… very difficult episode to update.. as more was conveyed by words, dialougues and expressions… the episode was all about the different nuances of life and love.. which formed the discussion between the Doctor and Piya.. of Sara's regret at not being consulted about Piya… her feeling of being let down by her family…. Of Anand and Ratna when they read Samaya's letter… of their feelings and the grim reality of their own relationship in the wake of Samaya's act.. the dialougues by Samaya in her letter to Ratna reemphasis all the home truths about an extra marital relationship, where the other woman is left behind when the man goes with his family… the raw pain and anger in the situation…..

This looks like a must watch episode where dialogues and emotions rule. thank you very much for this update and you have potrayed the seriousness of this episode really well.

WTH...why is this doc encouraging Piya to feel doubtful about herself!

An educated man can also be a pathetic, insincere husband...the doc's explanation makes no sense! 😡

thanks for the update.....


great job. 👏

😊

Excellent update.Thank you very much as always

Smily 😆

well, answering ur query, I too first had this doubt when the episode was going on... why would anyone in their right mind send Piya to a doc for starters.. and why is the Doc going on a fault finding mission (in a sense, it is that.. they want to know who oculd have been wrong)....

But the fact remains that in every relationship, you need two to tango... and if one strays away, it is definitely a sign of some unhealthiness there... Unhealthiness in any kind is bad, isnt it...

Ultimately, Piya is a woman and on seeing this, we are all outraged and obviously supportive of the womans point of view and her issues and causes. But as the doc pointed out, if their life was indeed a bed of roses and the husband was not a compulsive abuser or rogue... why did he stray.. why did he leave her in favour of someone else... Maybe.... I am not saying 100%, but just maybe Piya may have also been a lil slack in her relationship... Ultimately, isnt a relationship like a well oiled machine... its for the husband and wife to keep it well oiled all teh time, if not, problems happen. Maybe this mind search would ultimately help Piya get over the whole thing and prepare her for the future...

I give u 200% appalaud for that GM!! 👏

I agree with u completely!U need two to tango,and as women,we normally wud take it for granted that everything is going well,when it seems well,and as humans we can always slacken too!Just becoz its a love marriage,we can't say it'll work and be there 4ever,and just becoz its arrange marriage,we can't say it is expected to go wrong all etc!!Yes,no one person in a relationship shud be or can be blamed for the imperfection like the above to happen 100%,both parties plays a part!And being a modern society that we are living in now,where both husband and wife works,it taks harder work for both to pay attention to the relationship!Its always good to analyse such things,therefore a counsellor is always a good choice as he/she would not be biased in their opinions,as family members of either side wud be and they are more trained to analyse the mental and emotional state of the person in front of them! 😊
Just my thoughts!
And GM,thanks for the great update! 👏

Thanks for the awesome update GreatMaratha...u r doing an excellent job 👏

GM and Mumtaz,
I agree we all feel bad because Pia is the victim, I am sure we would have felt bad, even if the victim was a guy. Sure there must have been some faults of Pia, but that does not mean Anand can stray. If he is unhappy in the marriage, then come out of it and go get yourself another partner... but then how would the spineless Anand do such a thing, right... then there would be no soap and we would have nothing to watch, either... right 😉

Hi Vazz,
I agree with what u said that Anand shud have come outright and tell Pia and get out of the marriage and find another,but we also know that many men (in general) are the weaker beings when it comes to handling emotions,therefore they become spineless as u said correctly!They're mainly very weak when it comes to admitting something,and if at all they do,it will be an allegation,accusation etc of sorts pointed towards their wives,which leads to as we all know,to bigger problems,like a divorce,and they're too egoistic to admit their faults! 🤢

Of course there are also a handful of men out there who are bold enough to open up,which unfortunately they aren't many,as i have known of many guys,who actually thinks that going to a marriage counsellor are meant for 'mad'people,not them!So u can measure their mental capacity! 😛

So i guess in Anand's case,its more of an 'attraction' when it comes to Ratna,and he knows that there's hardly anything wrong with Pia,taht he could not have solved if he had chosen to!So the guy becoms spineless and voila...we have a good soap drama to watch!!! 😆
