Unspoken ... not for him.
He seems to accept that. Does't like it, but accepts it.
Yet he has kept her mangalsutra all these years.
And Mala asks him to help her reach out to her son ... because a child should not hate the mother who gave birth to him. But she doesn't seem in any hurry to re-kindle their own relationship.
Sumer seems to be losing patience with Mohini ... and losing respect for her too.
Mala's kheer - and Mohini's added poison. Rudra gave it back to Mohini satisfactorily ... everyone else seems to be unable to counter her poisonous tongue ... maybe out of guilt, on the part of Dilsher, Danveer and Mala ... and simple respect for elders, on the part of the younger lot. Rudra alone isn't silent ... as he hasn't been taught to respect his elders, and hasn't had much reason to respect the ones in his life.
(I never understand how people can recognise who made a dish by its taste alone ... what are recipe books for?! 😆)
Sumer banna was hilarious ... gobbling down his share of kheer, before his mom stepped in to take away his simple pleasures in life! 😆
Paro is happy Rudra defended Mala ... he spoils her happiness by telling her he only did it to annoy KCM.
Paro seems to be reaching the end of her inexhaustible patience ... I am glad. Rudra seems to use her as a punching bag for his own frustrations, how long can a girl take it? And whether he acknowledges it or not, whether he likes it or not ... reaching out to his mother, is for him ... not for her.
Though I feel Paro could back off a bit ... she really didn't need to say anything after he defended his mother. She could leave him to think over what he did on his own ... the more she tells him that he cares for Mala, the more he will deny his own feelings. Rudra is a bit perverse that way. Getting him to acknowledge his feelings for Paro in itself took an age, when the hatred was only a few months old, and was baseless. Getting him to acknowledge his feelings for his mother will take him a few years. A few dozen years. Maybe a few hundred.
On second thoughts, I do understand why Paro is pushing this ! 😆
The benefit of Paro throwing a fit of the sulks, is that Rudy boy really can't take it at all ... he can't stand Paro backing away from him ... not for a moment. So he will belatedly put that mangalsutra on her after all. And we will get a good Parud scene to end the week. 😳
