Today two things happened which highlighted the episode for me. I think this episode is way better than yesterday's episode and CVs showed what I have been repeatedly asking to see. Are you reading my complaints, CVs?
Today Dev took some much needed steps to mend the distance between him and Sona's family.
1. Step No. 1: Every one who knows a Bengali knows that food is the only bribe Bengali family will happily accept.
So in he walks with Bengali's first love - sweets.
2. Step No. 2: Nothing melts a Bengali mother faster than calling her Maa. Although Baba is not cracking.
3. Step No. 3: He realised today that he needs the bond with Sona's family like the kind Sona has with (some members of) his family. Relationship is a two way street. Good job, Dev. Now maintain this awareness and don't go oblivious again.
As I mentioned yesterday, Sona was happier today with Dev's effort and understanding towards her family than his very filmy proposal yesterday. A woman doesn't need ostentatious gestures. She is happy with simple things like love, honour and respect. They don't cost money, that's why they are priceless.
But the major thing was the complete Role Reversal between Ishwari and Bijoy.
She was polite and Bijoy was rude.
I have been defending him and his attitude all this time because he had justified cause.
But today I am disappointed.
Just like Ishwari, after he gave all lecture on parents are happy with their children's happiness bull to Sona, what was the point to be rude to someone who is a guest at your home?
What Ishwari did to Sona, you are doing to them.
Then why pretend to be generous and loving father when you deliberately making sure they turn against your daughter?
You could have held out, asking to wait for marriage is also a valid request.
You didn't need to agree to this marriage. But if you did, a. you should forget the past and treat people according to their current behaviour (by all means, if Radha is rude, give her proper answer) or b. even if you hadn't agreed to the marriage, nothing justifies your rude behaviour with your guests whom your wife invited to HER home. You won't like it if you invited your friends and Asha was rude to them, would you?
Your rude behaviour not only insulted Ishwari and family, but gave ammunition to Radha to taunt Sona and incite Ishwari and also made your wife and mother embarrassed who worked hard to make this day memorable for both families when their girl's wedding is getting finalized.
Bijoy's bitterness also spilling over Saurabh just like Ishwari took it out on Sona and her daughters.
Bijoy, you didn't just fail your daughter today, you failed your son, your wife, your mother and most importantly your dignity as a parent.
Precap: Ripples of Bijoy's bitterness and Ishwari's meddling might just create a chasm between the two lovers again.
It seems to me Bijoy wants to control Dev and Sona's marriage and Ishwari wants to control their divorce. Sometimes I think that they think they are getting married.
The only saving grace would be if Dev and Sona don't budge from their commitments.
P.S. Prenup is used to protect the respective individual assets in the event of a divorce. Without a prenup, the husband or wife (whoever is wealthier) pays alimony to the other or their combined assets gets equally divided between the husband and wife.
