What a delightful episode!! ⭐️ Cliched in parts, corny in others, yet delightful all the same!😃
Started off with MoChi Sa's barbs, that were for once benign and chuckle-worthy. I love it when she directs her snark towards her own children...gives me a special kind of joy that she is an equal opportunity offender. Her Ram Bharose zingers to Sunehri were old gold.😆
With the entire family conveniently off to the mandir to pray for the recovery of just as conveniently out-of-sight-but-in-coma Dilsher Sa, Paro and Rudr are free to play. And play they did...hide and seek, truth or dare, and best of all, a round of I-can-tie-perfect-knots-without-looking-at-bewitching-backs that the Major seemed a past master at.
But behind all this fun and games, some major developments happened and high points of the tale were reached.
Paro once again asks for his forgiveness for not having believed in him, and continues to plead her case with such mule-headed clarity that Rudr is left at the end of his tether. He rants and shouts at her, accuses her of being a shameless hussy, out to seduce him. He admits that even though he hated her all this while, yet he had some respect for her convictions and values...that he thought she was simply misguided, but now he thinks that she is as ugly inside as she is beautiful on the outside. All he gets for his pitiful attempts at ruthlessness and cruelty are tearful eyes and a sad mouth that disbelievingly repeats all his charges.
He knows not what to do in the face of such certitude, so the exasperated man shouts "ja dee maanfi... mujhpe vishwas na karne ke liye dee maanfi, mujhe jallad kehne ke liye dee maanfi."..I forgive you for everything ...happy?, he asks. Will you go from here now? And ODG (our dear girl) cutely shakes her head and starts to explain why...she won't go until she has proven to him that she...before Paro can finish her sentence he warns her...do not go any further, and very dutifully walks into her lair😆...he proves her contention that they have a special connection, that he can understand her without words😊 Yoohoo! And then she goes on to say with all the unflinching conviction of a true devotee, that theirs is the Shiv-Parvati saga...an immortal tale that is playing itself out in their lives. And that like Ma Parvati, her faith is unshakeable in the face of all manner of challenges and naysaying.
One thing is certain folks, we are watching a labor of love and faith that was the Shiv-Parvati story. After that mandir episode, this is the second time that the writers have come out and spelled it in big bold letters. In the near future at least, expect the story to play out with some minor adjustments. As the precap indicates, next week Paro will exhibit her single-minded devotion to Rudr, often at the cost of her own physical comfort. It will be a battle of wills, of world views, of ideologies, and of faith. I am looking forward to it. And if, at the end of it we are left with a wedded couple at odds with each other...better and better.😉😛
