Actually, I felt like a lot happened. Paro is missing, to begin with. The Thakurain walked back in to her old home, and collided with her son. How sad is it that his own mother doesn't recognize him? Laila has openly declared war. And the Major instead of stating the reason for his marriage is giving her the wrong idea. And the Kaki allowed this man to enter her daughter's room. Like , seriously, woman? I know Paro is there, but so is your young daughter.
I actually felt bad for Laila today. Yes, she's vindictive and angry and violent. Vicious even. But who wouldn't be? And she has every right to question Rudra. He gave her the right when he went to her for physical comfort and kept returning to her even when she made it clear she wanted more. His indifference could be easily mistaken for his compliance.
Actually, Su, I was quite happy that neither did Thakurain recognise her son, nor did he see her ... no gust of wind or 'feeling' ... much more realistic. I guess Rudra will recognise his mom ... he was 12 - 13 yrs when she left ... but she will find it more difficult to recognise him. So the fact that he didn't see her face, worked for me.
I wonder if there is any significance that all Thakurain's flashbacks were about her son, not about her husband.
Kaaki allowed the man to enter her daughter's room because it was only Paro there ... Sunehri was downstairs, and her mother knew it. Mohini doesn't care about putting Paro in danger.
Rudra not explaining the real reason to Laila worked for me ... if he had told her, I would have been very annoyed. It's not his personal secret, it is ostensibly a BSD secret, a ploy to get Paro to sign the papers. If Danveer has not told Mohini the truth, when she is his wife, and mistress of the haveli ... then Laila has no right to know the truth. I feel Rudra did the best he could under the circumstances ... tried to tell her it was not a real marriage, without giving her any details ... but hell hath no fury ...
I would have been sorry for Laila ... I was to a point when she was blasting Rudra ... but the moment she switched to threatening Paro, the sympathy vanished. If she truly believes that she and Rudra were in a relationship and Paro is the outsider, then the fault and the weakness lies in their relationship, that an outsider could break it so easily. Of course it is never easy for a woman to accept that ... it is so much easier to blame the 'outsider'. Same with Laila ... she invested a lot in the relationship ... and to discover that it meant nothing to Rudra, that he can walk away without a second thought, must be galling. She closed her eyes to the truth for eight years ... but she can't avoid facing it any longer.
