Ah, Ekta! You know, I keep looking out for your posts nowadays...and every one of them makes me want to give you a big hug for keeping that umeed alive! 🤗 🤗 🤗
This post is no exception to that - this phase really is the "darkest before dawn" phase...It constantly reminds me of the things Aaji said to Saachi way back in Episode 6 - those lovely, lovely lines continue to stay with me through trying times, whether in reel life or real life. "Yaad rakhna...Har raat ki subah honi hi hoti hai...Jab raat zyaada kaali lage, aur mann par andhera chhaaye, toh achchi yaadon ki ujaale se usse door kar dena chahiye...aur subah ka intezaar karna chahiye. Nayi subah kuch achcha hi laati hai..."
Also, the little daydream sequences have kept me alive through all the twists and turns and plummeting to rock-bottom...Watching DV/Saachi imagine each other's presence while alone both makes my heart swell and break - they love each other so, so much that it hurts them both in different ways. Seeing the contrast in the way they're dealing with this heartache is fascinating, to say the least. And thank god for those daydreams...I don't know how I would have managed without those tiny doses of DV-Saachi/Ruslaan-Sangita in the same frame!
Today, when Saachi imagined DV saying, "MY Saachiji is the strongest..." I instantly thought of all those times DV would tell her the same thing before...Saachi would always shrug off those comments, saying that she's not that strong or that God helps her to handle everything...and even now, she feels that she's not strong, she scoffs at being called "strong" when she's tired of that strength being tested constantly...DV became her strength in a sense, too, as she befriended him and fell in love with him...Now she's trying to draw strength from her memories of him; that love that they share is a bond that binds them even though they are apart.
