Paro the Nurturer has complete faith in Rudra the Protector.
Rudra the protector, is currently Rudra the baby. She needs to bring him up, to return to the man he once was, before he can protect her again.
Today I liked that they gave all the scenes of yesterday a good closure before moving on to the next. The scenes had a much better flow.
First, Rudra's shock at seeing his mother's picture ... a shock he barely manages to conceal in front of Aman ... just managing to get out of the Tejawat haveli ... barely ... before he gets a phone call from the hospital.
The Paro maamisa meeting ... they talk about mamisa disowning Paro in front of the village, Tejawat being the villain and the missing girls, including mamisa's daughter, Nandu ... and Paro's firm conviction that Rudra will bring all the girls back. He is the Protector, after all.
Followed by Paro's meeting with CO Singh, his repeated offer of security somewhere else, in the face of Rudra's obvious reluctance ... though I would love to see Rudra's reaction if Paro was assigned another safe house 😉
And Paro repeats with complete confidence ... Rudra is her protector. She will stay with him and no one else. She is safer with him than with a battalion of soldiers.
Rudra the protector is currently Rudra the child. At his father's bedside, he is told his father has gone into coma. And he doesn't know whether to cry, to rage or to break down. Whom can he tell about the discovery he just made? The whereabouts of the woman who left him and his father emotionally crippled fifteen years ago ... only to land up with his biggest enemy? She left him, she left his father ... and now his father is threatening to leave him ...
Rudra returns to the office, Aman leaves and Paro waits again. Till Rudra drinks himself silly and falls all over the place ... an unconscious call for help ... for sympathy, for comfort ... on one of the worst days of his life. Rudra the child is now Rudra the baby ... a very scared, fearful, trembling terrified baby ... abandoned by his mother, and terrified of losing his sole remaining parent. And maybe ... also terrified of losing another source of comfort he has yet to acknowledge?
And Paro the Nurturer is there ... to hold, to comfort, to soothe ... to heal ... to listen to a stumbling monologue of pain, a muffled plea for help ... a cry from the heart not to be left alone. And she listens ... and stays... stays close. Holds him when he stumbles and falls, steadies him when he slips, feeds him, quenches his thirst. And promises not to leave him. Fills the role of a mother ... holding Rudra, feeding him, and finally letting him slump to sleep in her lap ... letting him feel the love and care he missed for so many years. Paro the Nurturer.
So many role reversals today ...
Paro feeding Rudra, the way he had once fed her.
The hand clasp against the mirror ... it seemed that Rudra drew comfort from that invisible hand across the glass wall.
Paro bandaging Rudra's hand tenderly, the way he once tended her sprained foot. And the way he once bandaged her cut hand (thanks for the reminder)
Precap ... Rudra doesn't seem angry about the previous night ... but the new problem. His mother is Paro's adopted Thakurain maasa?

Rudra feels the sense of abandonment and loss all over again ... and he's scared ... very, very scared. He doesn't want to be alone. What a discovery to make ... and what a time to make it.
Paro waits patiently at the BSD office ... Aman tells her to go home, but she refuses. And she asks him, does he also believe she is guilty? Aman doesn't answer. So Parvati adopts him as her brother. 😛

Beautiful episode ... Sanaya rocked in her expressions today. The calmness, the gentleness, the tender care and understanding of the sozzled, shattered Rudra ... the understanding of that plea for help, of his fear of being left alone, and the pure compassion and reassuring tenderness in her every look, every gesture.
Ashish was very good too ... both in the hospital scene as well as back at the BSD office, the stumbling incoherent shattered man, lost in his pain, in the multiple blows of the day that just never stopped coming ... the retrogression of the strong stone-faced jallad to the helpless, lonely child.
