I agree to disagree with your views after having watched the episode today.
I can literally see the guilt that is eating Raghav due to which he wasn't able to drive, he stopped almost short of an accident and sat in the middle of the road holding his heart.
He's so hurting right now that he cheated on Pallavi, his Pallavi, the woman he loves with all his heart. His conversation with Lungi wala Raghav is so clear that he rather die than face Pallavi. That's the amount of guilt he feels right now.
At home, he couldn't bear to see her eyes and wasn't able to give her any comfort when she hugged him. He felt disgusted at himself. This is the same man who has always comforted Pallavi in their hugs. If Pallavi is suffering, so is Raghav.
I can understand Raghav's guilt, can also understand why he kept pushing Pallavi away. But honestly, Raghav is suffering because of his own actions whereas Pallavi is suffering for no fault of hers (Or perhaps for trusting a man who keeps on lying to her)
Raghav made wrong choices to drink, stay in that room with his ex, I won't deny any of that and Pallavi is the absolute innocent party here but it still doesnt change the role Esha played in all of this. I agree lying about what happened makes him look more guilty and that's the reason I hope she gets to know the truth from him and not anyone else. I'm not saying he shouldn't suffer, he absolutely should. He should witness her breakdown to realise what he's done, how else will he grow, he needs that big jolt.
I'm not condoning his act of hiding the truth from her coz it's wrong. Pallavi deserves to know the truth and he's taking away her agency to decide what she wants to do. Having said that, I also understand why Raghav is hiding the truth. He wants to save her from the hurt he has caused but he doesn't realise he's going to hurt her anyway.
I think he is hiding the truth because he knows confessing it would be the end of their relationship. Which is what Lungi wala Raghav was telling him as well and Raghav like before is acting on that advice of his alter ego.
The reason he's hiding it is because he knows how much she loves him and how she'll break when she gets to know the truth. That's the conversation he had with LWR today.
He has a lot of insecurities and abandonment issues so he may be wants to hold on to her (not condoning). He'll tell her the truth because the guilt is also eating at him.
Also, like you said today we got to see Pallavi's feeling for Raghav vocalised. She said she can live without herself but not without him. She's going to stay back, may be give him a silent treatment but won't leave him - this is my assessment of how this is going to go forward.
She's gonna stay back coz this is a story about Raghav and Pallavi and in some convoluted manner they would show how Raghav was tricked into believing he slept with Esha. The rest of it will be forgiven and forgotten.
She's going to stay back because she loves him and knows he loves her as well. Raghav didn't sleep with Esha. It's a trap. He hasn't cheated on Pallavi. I agree they are going to pin this on Esha but isn't that what really happened. He was sloshed and she came close to him when he toom Pallavi's name in his inebriated state. For the mistakes he's done, he's going to suffer and repent and grow.
As much as anyone would like her to leave, she will chose to stay with him after knowing the truth and I will respect her choice.
Quite honestly, it's just something that happens far too often. Women forgive. I would have loved for MHRW to take a different route but I know it wouldn't.
He has not cheated on her and he was trapped, that will make it easier for Pallavi to forgive this incident and move on with Raghav. If he had cheated on her, I would love that she leaves with her self respect but here the situation is completely different. It's not because Mhrw is a love story and Raghvi are end game, it's because he didn't cheat on Pallavi (he made mistakes).
Raghav made mistakes but he didn't cheat on Pallavi. He deserves to face consequences for the mistakes he made but he didn't cheat on her.
We have a very different outlook on what we consider as cheating. The way I look at it, he did cheat. And continues to do so by not letting her know what transpired in the hotel room.
Yes I have a completely different view. I look at his intentions rather than his actions. He did a lot of things he should not have done that night but he didn't want to cheat on Pallavi. He's lying to her because he's afraid and he deserves jhadu ki pitai for that. He'll eventually tell her the truth (or so I hope). Had Esha not gone near him, kuch nai hota. Human emotions are complex and everyone has different threshold and tolerance limits. I can understand your views and respect them but I stand by mine.
It's a highly polarized situation and I know how skewed opinions are formed. I was highly conflicted myself coz I love them both.
I would have loved to not feel the way I do about Raghav and Pallavi's relationship right now.
My heart went out to Pallavi when she was asking Raghav to let her have that mann ki tassalli by holding him. She loves him way too much and deserves nothing but to be showered back with all the more love in return.
Only for her sake, I so wish Raghav proves to be the man, we and Pallavi fell in love with.
I also hope he trusts his love and tells Pallavi the truth. She deserves to know it from him. He needs to believe their relationship can survive this obstacle. I'm going to cry for Pallavi when he rejects her advances and also when she hears the truth. Raghvi fan hone jaise paap hai aajkal. You're crying for both.
