A quick thought came to mind and I just wanted to throw it out there before I lost it.
In the beginning of yesterday's episode, Babes gave Minnie a metaphor of how molding a clay pot is akin to one molding their future. Jump forward to Hanita crafting the pot together, HS' hands were on top of Babes'. His were acting in a guiding role while Babes had full control over the shape the pot will take. If she wanted, she could have applied too much pressure and broken it. Instead, she gave it a beautiful form and created a sturdy object that could be used in daily life.
Yes, HS was assertive when he pulled her down, and led her hands towards the chakri. But she too, had the opportunity to leave or oppose against his actions anytime she wanted. Yet, she stayed back with him and cautiously ventured on this little activity. Now, like HS stated before, the ball is in Babes' court. The kind of direction she wants to take their relationship is in her hands.
