Rudra and Paro return from the BSD office on the phatphatiya ...
Rudra tells Paro to take care as she gets off ...
Paro is thrilled at his gesture of care ... and *head desk* says so. 😳
Paro darling, haven't you realised by now that your big bear of a husband is petrified of letting the slightest softness show through ... he has a reputation and a facade to maintain, you know!!! So of course Rudra growls back that he's only worried she will fall, because she falls so often ...
Fortunately Paro isn't too concerned by his gruffness ... she does know that Rudra aadat se majboor hai. So she just makes a pithy remark about how whatever she does is wrong in his eyes, and drives his dimaag kharab ... thereby letting him know very subtly that she thinks his dimaag is kharab ... and she leaves with the last word.
Paro is becoming wife in the true sense of the word!
Maithili really is a sweetheart ... she rushes out to warn Paro and Rudra that they need to be on their best behaviour ... Rudra takes that to mean that instead of dragging Paro in by her arm, he should hold her hand ... and gently, too.
Thank God he does understand some basic notion of romance.
And fortunately for him, since he really can't be polite to save his life, nor can he speak in anything but rough tones, Paro takes over the question answer session ... and gives simple, truthful answers ... sugar coated enough to satisfy the SWs. Or so she hopes.
Of course, interspersed with Mohini trying her best to edge in some zingers designed to create doubt in their minds ... and Danveer neutralising them as best he can.
Rudra decides Paro might get too carried away, so pulls her away to the kitchen to warn her ... but Paro is quite in control of the situation, thank you very much ... and she'll take care of it ... he's fumbling too much, so she can't leave things to him.
Rudra fumbles and mumbles a little more, and decides she just might be right.
Loved the calm, sensible Paro ... taking charge of the situation and taking over. And Rudra is settling well into the role of typical husband ... he may be boss in the office, but wifey is boss at home.
Though he does step in with a couple of sentences of his own when they return with the tea ... but apparently not enough to satisfy Senior SW. She's already heard about Major RP Ranawat ... and she doesn't trust men.
He would understand that ... he doesn't trust women. But only beautiful ones, that is.
So Senior SW decides she will stay a little longer to convince herself and her junior ... and Mohini is very happy (Ananya Khare was very good here ... just her eyes showing her relief and thrill that the SWs were staying on longer, so she got a little more time and opportunity to put her plans into action.)
Paro confers with Maithili ... she knows how important Rudra's job is to him ... it's his life. And she has to make sure she safeguards it, she will do whatever she has to do, to ensure that.
Currently all she has to do is get ready for another rasam ... in another gorgeous lehnga ... am loving Sanaya's outfits in this show!
While Rudra has an agitated conversation with Col Singh ... these women are staying on? For how long? And what does he have to do?
Col Singh treats him like the sulking brat Rudra is behaving like .. be good, or you won't get your stripes back. Be polite ... speak properly to the ladies ... and SMILE.
Rudra banna looks as though he doesn't know the meaning of the word. 😛
The rasam for the newly weds ... the three choices ... a bowl of roses, with the accompanying thorns ...
A bowl of money ...
A bowl of sweet kheer.
And they both choose the roses ... along with the thorns. A life of love ... with the accompanying ups and downs ...
