RK is right now being super insecure. According to his life, being insecure is the most obvious thing he should be and doesnt matter how much Madhu loves him the fear of being heartbroken will be always there. It takes time to heal and that's not going to happen so soon. this is the reason I never expected confession from RK's side so early but I guess he is hoping it won't happen this time and he is hoping noone will hurt him again.
The situation is nobody's fault - neither RK nor Madhu. its fate. and even when Madhu is going to choose her family first she is also right on her part. she doesn't now till now falling in love isnt going to be walk on the path of roses. like she said to paddy once in hospital, she doesnt know wat it is she feels for RK. Madhus love is not blind but RK does everything with passion. be it hate or love. n when he said mein tumse pagalo ki tarah pyaar karta hoon he is indeed right. he wants someone to choose him over everything else in the world nothing else. and Madhu doesnt know that or doesnt understand that yet. its not his fault but is RK is insecure but the situations which made RK insecure in love and trust today aren't his fault either.
Coming to what Deepali said to RK. it was so cruel on her part to hurt someone like this extent. She was become more cruel after getting rejected and failed in her attempt repeatedly. Deepali rubbed it soo bad on RK's face that how unfortunate a human being can be that he has everything but not love. and no person can be happy without love. at some point of time they will feel empty inside without no1 to love them..
We were discussing it in Rishbala AT few days ago that is it RK doesnt understand Madhu is in love with him or he is in denia? l today I realized he was in denial actually. RK noticed everything and thats why when deepz said Madhu has started liking you he was remembering about the moment he caught Madhu's feelings in vulnerable situations and madhu never really tried to hide it. poor soul didn't know love could be so painful and on the contrary, RK knows already love hurts too much. this is the biggest contrast of their relationship. they both love each other but their perception about love is so different that its gonna cause problems for them always. RK's love is intense and full of passion but Madhu's love is serene, warm and simple. he was afraid and fighting with his feelings. Now Madhu has to endure the pain only to heal RK from his bitter past. if she doesn't understand his pain and insecurities, how will she heal RK. she can accept it and heal him too. her love is strong enough. just like everyone wants RK to protect Madhu from Ballu when he will come back. that is Madhus past which will hover over her future to destroy it today or tomorrow. Both will endure and accept the pain of their past and thus both will heal each other and and their love will only go strong. this is what I believe.
Precap was too good and tomorrow's episode will clear a lot of things about RishBala's feelings.
P.S: this is STRICTLY my POV 😆
P.P.S: Donno about others but Im very happy.. i was so eager to see the actual moment of"yeh Ishq nehi asan itna samajh lijiye... aag ka dariya hai aur doob ke jana hai..." I can see all that coming 😃
