I think that Ratna is going through a classic "near old" stage - she is tired of being alone (translated as 'lonely'). If she had spoken up while Pia did not know about their relationship, she would have caught the flak for 'breaking Anand's house up' and also faced being rejected by Anand. Now that their relationship is public, she wants Anand to take the same stand for her as he had done for Pia - which is not going to happen. So basically, she is behaving like a word that rhymes with a 'witch' and begins with a B. 😊 Hmm the plot thickens now - I think that Pia will refuse to take back Anand - by using that dialogue from 'Arth' - "Agar mera kissi ke saath itna lamba affair hota, tou kya tum mujhe phir se sweekar karte?" and Anand will be forced to return to Ratna, who will keep him for a little while - just long enough for Pia to move on with her life - get married to Akash or something, and then ditch Anand saying "Agar saat saal baad, tum Pia ke saath yun kar sakte ho, tou mere saath aisa nahin karoge, uski mujhe koi guarantee nahin hai. Tumhe life mein variety pasand hai, kuch naya pasand hai, isi liye tum mere saath involve huye...kuchh saal baad, is rishtey mein bhi tumhein koi novelty nahin lagegi, tab tum kisi aur aurat ke pichhe bhagoge"
Nice update though :)
