Now this chapter is a blockbuster, I know it's just a drop of what you will show after, it gives insight into the complicated human nature, but I must admit it's very disturbing!
Thank JJ! And sorry about that... but it's all necessary for the story...
I don't even know where to start, this chapter has a lot of things that I find myself now unable of expressing anything!
I'll try though!
That's my JJ! 😆🤗
Meera and Maya, what I understood is that Maya was explaining to Meera that she doesn't have any romantic relationship with Rishaan but she also tried to make her see Viraj's value, and the value of his love, but without trying to pressurize her!
Yes... that's exactly what happened.
Reactions in the scene where it was announced that Rishaan is kidnapped were expected, Meera panicked and Maya not only is afraid but she also feels guilty as she thinks she is responsible too for what's happening to Rishaan
Yeah... it was kind of obvious... Maya is remorseful... and Meera grief-stricken..
Now the highlights for me in this chapter in order are Shaurya/Rishaan's scenes, Rudra's scenes and a mention to the phone conversation for obvious reasons!
Shaurya/Rishaan's scenes
Obviously we expected that it will only be about torture sessions in these, it's not like Shaurya was really going to have any kind of sane conversation with Rishaan!! his facade is destroyed and now he wants to torture him for that and for other reasons too, it's very complicated actually, first he talked about the brothers spoiling his plans and ruining it all, so he started his torture that way then it became about his revenge and jealousy of RK, Rishaan was astonished to hear Shaurya's dialogues who was taking him as the real RK and the last session of torture actually was quite a twisted one and was very difficult to completely grasp, Shaurya was trying to bring Rishaan's truth to surface, but I doubt that what Shaurya thinks is real, I mean Shaurya thinks that he has similarities with Rishaan, yes both are two twisted souls but difference is that Rishaan is a victim and he went the self destructive mode and Shaurya is a creep even if he might have his reasons for what he is but he took the destructive mode (destroying and making others lifes a hell!!)!
Okay I will try my best to explain it to you... without spoiling anything. See between Shaurya and Rishaan... they share very interesting dynamics...It's all very layered and complicated... twisted even. As Shaurya said in this chapter... he was... for obvious reasons... very interested in Rishaan in the beginning... but later he found other reasons to be fascinated by him. What Shaurya sees... through his point of view... might get a bit clear in the next chapter ... But I would just say that if you pay attention to his words and his actions... the way he loses it at Rishaan... beats him to a pulp... scolds him... then the next minute patches him... then almost chokes him again when he interrupts him... only to smile and talk further about what he thinks of him... it may help you understand him a little...
I can't pretend that I get it all, I need more clues maybe, but I have some ideas but still I need to put order in my thoughts and assumptions before sharing them
Yes... you will get more clues... obviously.. 😆 ... however... there are some in this chapter as well.. as I said above..
Ok some few things to mention here, I liked how Rishaan is trying to resist and control the huge pain he feels, I liked that kick he gave to Shaurya despite being in such a poor state, yes he was in disadvantageous situation but he tried as hard as he could to stand his ground, I liked his witty replies. But was shocked to discover the tormented and especially the damanged soul he is, this man is completely destroyed, he was destroyed during his childhood itself and to such a point that he was made thinking that he deserves it all!! and nothing of his thoughts have changed even now! I thought Maya is the most shattered one but seems Rishaan's case is even worse!!!
Yes... Rishaan has his own way of carrying out a conversation ... even with a serial killer who is torturing him.. 😆 ... yes... I know all of us knew Rishaan had a dark past... he is very very ... what can I say... as you said damaged maybe? yeah... and this is the tip of the ice berg... much more to come.. but more on that later.. 😳
Rudra scenes
He was suffering all the way, he was angry, guilty and ready to burn the world to find his brother, we can see how much enraged and frustrated he was when he was beating the corrupt officer, his fear for his brother was such that he could go to any extent, It was intense and his dioalogues were so good, the strong facade he has is commendable : the way he threatned Agnihotri to inform the fans about her and her officer's responsibility of this whole mess!
But another scene of him which showed his guilt and saddness is the one where he cried in the office when he was with Judge Prakash, his father figure! I love the bonding between the twoI am happy you liked Rudra's scenes... you know how difficult it is for me to write his scenes sometimes... 😆 ... he is a complex character... also because I have to keep him simple on the surface... He had many shades in this chapter alone... you will see new shades of him soon.
Rudra-Maya's phone conversation
So Maya actually couldn't take the guilt and wanted it all to stop and she was actually about to commit a suicide if it wasn't for her soul mate!! the timing was good!
What I liked is how they saved and comforted each other, how they could feel each other and forget their pain when they thought about one another
JJ... Maya was panicking... she wasn't thinking straight... she just wanted the pain to stop... two pills didn't work... so she was willing to take no matter how many she can take to make it all stop... but she was not about to commit suicide... I mean that was not on her mind...though she might have ended up in hospital anyway... but that was never her intention... she just could not think at the moment. She was having a panic attack... the guilt and fear was too much for her.. But yes... she was at her lowest... she might have put her life at risk ... and Rudra was at his lowest as well.. he had no hope left... so yes... they did save and console each other...I know my comment isn't very elaborated as my thoughts are confused now but rest assured, the chapter is very good and it's full of emotions and complicated things that it became complicated for me too to talk about all the shades, nuances it has!!!
Thanks JJ ... I hope I was able to clear some of your doubts though... and you said you will read this again.. so if you have any questions or new thoughts... well.. you know I am always game for discussion..😆
Once again I say I love your dialogues! it goes without seeing how deep and crisp writing you do (content wise)!
Thank you so much, JJ! Means a lot!
Waiting for more 🤗
