Astha now toggles between fulltoo masti with her husband whom she loves completely, so she does not feel ashamed to show her true spirit...and then sometimes she becomes all serious with sincere affection flowing in her eyes. Both these sides of love are so true and she is showing that unabashdly to her husband...to assure him again and again...that she will be by his side always.
That her ego and her fears cannot come in between them..so that he learns that his ego and fears also not come in between.
Loved Astha all chirpy and flirting..one could call it silly but I did not find it cheap at all...she is behaving exactly like a woman on a honeymoon would with the person she loves the most and has declared it to him. And she totally shocked him bu shouting out her love on the hilltop...by that she meant that she is not embarrassed...she is not afraid of public or the world..afterall they are married and she is in love with him...and she knows he also loves her and cares and saves her each time...only thing is he is not declaring it. Also..his trust that she will place him as top priority is increasing everyday.
Loved Astha 's deep and meaningful monologue yesterday by the fire...with tears...and her masti today morning...and her pleading Shlok to come and he agrees:)...He is getting tied to her ...step by step and day by day.
There is another reason for making Astho go public with her feelings...it is to provoke Aditi. Every time Aditi sees Ashlok together she does something further to harm Astha.To provoke Aditi CVs have to make the love between Ashlok come out in the open which Astha is doing.
Loving Astha right now...I wondered about her sense of self respect earlier...but two things re more clear to me now...
1) The more AStha is expressing her feelings...the more Shlok is amused and fascinated by her and is openly showing his care..you can see since beginning of the trip...he is now feeling little more secure ...he looked at her hands yesterday when she feigned hurt..and he accepted t come to the horse riding area when she asked.
2)Astha herself has become so much more free and liberated ever since Holi...we were tired of watching a crying unhappy depressed Astha...this Astha has taken the burden off her mind by telling Shlok the reality...and keeps telling him again. He has to deal with it now!
So all in all, Astha expressing herself has brought out the best in both of them...its also bringing out the worst in Aditi..but wo to vamp hai..uska kaam wo karegi.
