I respect your view, navin ji. ...and yours is the post I really look forward to..

I agree with your every point. ,...but still the question is bugging me... a mother can be justified in leaving her son???

should a mother leave her child all broken and wait for some girl to enter her child's life to undo her wrong????

The interesting thing to me, when you think of everything we have seen of Mala is--she doesn't even realize the EXTENT to which her leaving Rudra has affected him. She thinks she can come to see him for tea and pakoras one day, and he will welcome her back. She does not understand at all how he has changed from the child she used to put to bed with warm milk and music into-- the Jallad.

I am not defending her--like you, I don't think there is any defense for such child abandonment, no matter what the circumstances--but logically, a part of this astonishing blindness might be Mala not knowing how Dilsher reacted after her running away. Dilsher loves Rudra. Its obvious. So how, instead of staying with his family and brother and her own sister, he took Rudra away to Jaipur.

She does not know that he, Rudra's own father then brought up her naughty, sweet, lovably son to be completely isolated and filled with rage and bitterness. She returned for Rudra a month after leaving Dilsher, and then lost complete touch with her son/husband since even Danveer had no contact with his brother during this entire time.

In her head, the Rudra she left that evening after putting him to bed and the Rudra of today--the gap of 15 years is just a time lapse--not a complete shift in who he has become. I am waiting to see how she deals with what Dilsher has done to their kid, and for her to realize that it was HER cruelty and her selfishness that resulted in this twisted, bitter and broken man standing where her adored little boy used to be.

No defence of Mala here. But like how Dislher is admitting that he abandoned not just Rudra, but also his role in his famile--that of being the one to control Mohini, to help Danveer--similarly, Mala has to be given the chance now, to try to make up for an unforgivable mistake.

• Let us say Mala fell in love and left. And did not want to take the kid with her. Fair enough. But shouldn't she have given closure to her husband and kid ?

• Let us say DIlsher was a psycho and she was running away - does it not make sense to take the kid with her ?

• Let us say Mala made a deal with God and left. Should she then not be pining for her hubby and kid ? Why the life with Thakur ?

The only person in RR who has all the pieces of the puzzle is Rudra - he knows his mother married the Thakur, knows that Paro looks up to and reveres the Thakurayin and knows that Paros value system was and is shaped Maala. Today, Paro will come to know too!

He has accepted Paro, knowing this about her. He trusts her, he cannot see her unhappy, he protects her, and yes he loves her too, And he has done all this, knowing that Paro knows his maaSa.

Does that indicate, that a grown man now stands in place of that lost child, that this man wants to at least, give a woman, whos life lies in his, a chance, no matter if she is beautiful or not?

I think Rudra's take might be quite clear. He confessed once that he always wanted to move on in life, but his past kept catching up with him. I do not think he holds Paros past against her any more.

All this of course, until the day she leaves him! Eeeks!
