I randomly chose a 14th Dec episode and Voila! the stars conspire here because I came across a very powerful scene after a long time. (There might have been more but contribute this to my randomeness lately)
I was watching the initial part of the episode where Naku was struggling to tell everyone that she isnt a cheat. She doesnt know this new face in her life and yet, she seemed alone in that roomful of friends and foes. My heart moved, I got jittery, I fiddled with my fingers, My temper shot up, I started getting haywire looking all around the room and the only name my heart cried (yes, my eyes also welled up), Dutta! I looked around for him,allthe time thinking, YOUR WIFE needs you, Kahaan hai tu...She needs you the most right now...The scene ended with my jitteriness at its peak.Needless to say, I was very uneasy and then comes Dutta back home and I look at him pleadingly, Dutta,Aaj nahi plz. She needs you today. Saari shikaayetein ek taraf aur Infedility ek taraf...Just be with her for this moment, phir waapis, go back to pavalion but not now...
But our Kala played her part and well, it was OK with me because for my sanity it was important that Dutta knows about it sooner rather than Suresh remainining hidden from him for countless episodes...(BTW, Suresh was such an apt choice for someone from Basti and Naku's past life and although, I have been dreading an infidelity track in LTL, I am glad it came, the way it did because to remove a notion - "beauty betrays", betray has to have a catalyst in face and figure, be it Suresh; and then Dutta has to see that Beauty (Naku) still didnt betray...Moving on...)...Dutta makes some indifferent gibbers and walks away. My heart wrenched..."No Dutta, not today...Be here now. She is alone in this vast world and she needs her husband to defend her. Today is the time when she needs her hubby, her love more than anything because a Friend can fight for her honor to a certain extent but its only a hubby who can take the battle all the way thru'. I cried, Dutta she is human, she has feelings too...She also feels like having a someone who could give her the shoulder or hold her hand and say that I am there for u and would make things right. She isnt bejaan gudiyaa! Plsssssss!!.....
And when my heart was about to fall down hard and crash into pieces, Naku walked in his room and spoke my mind out...Oh! I was holding my heart, I was crying, "Yes Yes! Thank you!" I wanted someone to tell him what I felt because I couldnt jump inside the screen.
Naku pleads him exactly as I was pleading, that today he shld have stopped the waging tails...Call her a liar for she held the truth from him about her beauty but dont call her a cheater...That's not the Nakusha he has known her to be! Go back to being rootha, khaffa etc but today, stand for her honor...Cheater was not accepted at any cost because "Another Man"?..... seriously? Jisko bolte hue bhi zabaan kaanpti hai, usko sunte hue toh!
*sniff*
And I cried with Naku, "No Dutta, not cheater"..I remembered Subbu's words, "Isko kissi Agni pareeksha se guzarne math denaa"...Pls Dutta, "Not you"....and then Finally Dutta says with a struggle that he never called her a cheater...Thank you, we pass the first hurdle...but I am back to my jitteriness of the first scene...I want you to defend your wife's honor because that's your duty. Please do...Because beneath the skin, its the same, Don't believe it right now, take all the time you want on this earth to feel the heart below the skin but dont let her repo be at stake....Just speak up! I want you to speak up! Today is the Hubby's day...Be one!
and this week's last scene, Dutta fights for his wife's honor and I finally feel better, ready to pass my weekend without any Jitteriness....Not that I didnt know he would surprise us and fight for it, Its just tht in Suresh's entry scene, I missed Dutta!!
and the song I automatically hummed when he points the pistol at Suresh,
"Mere Pyaar ki umar ho itni sanam,
Tere naam pe shuru, tere naam pe khatam"
Sorry guys, lot of rant but I just went thru it and had to vent out all here....who else could I share it with!!! so, fill me in with heartfelt assurances...
Love,
DD
