The morning after their wedding, HS had requested Babita that whether or not anything remains in their relationship, there should always be honesty. That same evening, Babita had repeated the same house rule to Minnie with the expectation that's how they will move going forward.
It's a shame that the house rule which had been emphasized on so heavily in the beginning, couldn't last for more than a week.
Following Mickey's words, Minnie will carry on putting on a pretense for Babes that she's fine and everything is okay between her and her Hanuman Uncle. That they all are one big, happy family like she always wanted. She's deluding Babes.
HS too has lied to her whether blatantly or indirectly. Whether it was him hiding that Minnie came to see her at midnight or lying about who bought the photo frame, lies are being uttered. He's going against his own words to her.
One can argue about whether or not the intentions behind HS & Minnie's actions are good or not, but it doesn't change the fact that they both are lying to her. They both are keeping her in the dark and are once again putting on act in front of her.
What these two are failing to realize is that for 17 years, she put on an act as well. An act of being an ideal daughter-in-law. Through this act she created a pristine image for herself and tolerated everything that happened to her in the hopes that it will all be justified when Ashok comes back to see her. But he never did because he too put on an act. An act of loving her and Minnie.
When his act was shattered, Babita's ability to trust others shattered to an extent too. A lot of assumptions that she had made about the people whom she had once considered family were broken as well. In all of this, there was only one person whom she considered her own - her daughter Minnie. Slowly but surely, HS too came into that fold.
It was with the trust that she had in them having a solid father-daughter relationship, that she agreed to get married. However, it turns out that was also an act. Now, when she is actively trying to mend things between them (albeit in all the wrong ways), they're choosing to delude her once again.
In all of this, the only person who has remained honest is Babita. HS and Minnie often accuse her of harboring a lot of guilt. Yes, she's incredibly guilty of her actions and wants and desires. How can she be expected not to be when everyone around her keeps lying to her over every little thing? How can she be honest about her own feelings when others around her aren't? How can she trust herself to make the right decision when people around her keep deluding her with theirs?
Today HS & Minnie will be working together as a team again to make Babita happy. But what is the point of this momentary happiness when it has been founded on a bed of lies?
Let's see what today's episode has in store for us.
Hope you all enjoy. <3
