In today's episode, Madhu's entire reaction to the "shootout" situation was superb. She enforced why she should not go back to RK. She is a woman of many facets and a strong one too. She knows right from wrong, Madhu knows humanity. And because she is a self-respecting woman, she should not go back to RK. You don't have to stop loving or hating someone to uphold your self-respect. In order words, just because one may still have feelings or love a person is not reason enough to go back to that person or to give up your self-respect. Madhu's life can have color and happiness without RK. Madhubala is a victim of RK.
RK went from grey to negative. He has always and is still playing the victim when HE IS THE VICTIMIZER. RK has become inhuman. For him Madhu has become a convenience for him. He treats her like a piece of property. Even in the Holi episode, he showed up at the Chawl like nothing happened. Had RK truly thought about, truly loved Madhu, he would have let her be and not just show up like that. RK would have sacrificed himself for Madhu to let her enjoy the holiday. From his conversation with his mother in today's episode, it is clear that he expects Madhu to sit around and wait for him. When he was the one who broke all ties with Madhu. It doesn't matter how many times a man puts sindoor on a woman's maang or how many mangalsutra he puts around her neck, if he does not accept her in mind, words, and heart, she is NOT HIS WIFE. RK BROKE his and Madhu's relationship.
When a man risks his life to save the woman he supposedly love that he guards her with his own body, he has got to know he loves her. And when that very woman turns around and guards his body with hers, he has got to know that she is head over heels for him too.
Even if the man has revenge on his mind, that thought would have dissipated quicker than it came. But that was not the case in RK's situation, he went for revenge and torment and humiliation of Madhu, the woman he loves, no he did not and does not love Madhu.
There isn't anything to date that RK has done that has anything to do with love for Madhu.
Sultan is a student of Madhu and he is learning, he also knows about humanity. Had Sultan not know about humanity, he would not stop Bujang from bringing drugs into the country. Nor would Sultan risk his life to stop Bujang. Be it what it may, Sultan was injured trying to do good and this why he deserves help. The pained look on his face when he realized Madhu's hand trembling holding the gun was evident, realization crept up on his face. The way he calm down, and remove the gun from her hand, Madhu was first. He wanted to make sure she was ok, but got interrupted. He knew why Bujang needed to be put to an end now, people like Bujang will not stop. Sultan's concern for Madhu and his hurt for her, while she had to give justification for her actions were heartfelt.
One thing Madhu will not leave Aryan at any cost and even Madhu's Mom, Padmini understood that today.
