Jhonkaa hawaa ka aaj bhi, neendein udaata hoga na,
Gusts of wind must be stealing your sleep even today.
Rudra can say what he wants or rather what he thinks he wants, but at least this much we have understood that in his subconscious mind , he has forgotten the difference between Paro and Myrah - he seems to have merged them into one entity. If that wasn't the case, that intense and awkward silence between him and Myrah over the ice cream outing, his turn to look back at her and yet denying that he cares about her, his alarm bells ringing the moment he realizes that Myrah is alone at home, his shocked and traumatized face on seeing Myrah in Paro's drapes , his reaction to Myrah's exit in the precap would not have happened. You can't say that he loves Myrah. No. But he is on the verge of forming an emotional alliance with her - to the point that if Myrah goes away tomorrow, Rudra will relive the loss of Paro all over again. Its not premature to say that because we have seen a glimpse of that. Rudra never really recovered from Paro's loss - he just learned to live with it. Myrah unleashed all that insecurity and trauma all over again, and that is the reason that Rudra is so vulnerable in front of Myrah. Its like living in a cozy home, losing your way , living like a tramp and one fine day, you see your home again. That is where Rudra is.
Coming to Myrah, what she did today was very juvenile on the onset, but if you look at it again, what touches you is the innocence and honesty of it all. Innocence of the love that she feels for Rudra and honesty of character that she delivered to Rohit. Myrah is untouched by the sadness and tragedies of life - and that is why her addressing of feelings for Rudra and conveying them to both Rudra and Rohit is so naive. Rudra has given her the first wound and first pain of her life and he has brought the girl to a rude awakening that love really isn't pink. Its the shade of PAIN - a brilliant yet painful red.
Having said that , the moment of the day for me was Myrah answering Rudra without him verbalizing the question. That she is okay and he need not worry. That scene was pretty intense inspite of the presence of kids. That is a mark of good acting.
