Meetha Sharbat *Updated*

Well...as I sit down to write about the Ishra moment...I find myself out of words. Some feelings are better felt than described by words.😳

A couple who had everything going wrong around them, who had been so engrossed in trying to be the pillar of support for their families ...hadn't had a chance to spend any quality time between themselves... today when Ruhi brought them close to 'punish' them..and kissed them both...for a moment they were lost in each other's eyes...forgot their daughter momentarily;who was standing in between them and their desire for each other was the only feeling that was palpable between them.

Raman recovered first and reminded himself and her of their other duties. And then oh so quietly, he expressed his desire of getting his 'punishment' from her next time...and he also promised to bring her 'meetha sharbat' and expressed the wish of his own from her. She didn't hesitate one moment to accept the offer.

A couple who for months have lived in the same room, hiding behind the veil of banter to hide their growing feelings for each other today stood at precipice of acknowledging mutual desire for intimacy ...they made no qualms about it as both feel secure in their love . Sometimes these moments define love for a couple than verbal declaration.

It was a good episode ..of vintage YHM flavor..where we saw a couple who had faced the biggest challenge of their relationship, taking the first step to overcome that with the help of Raman. It was so heart-touching to see a Jiju reaching out to his sister-in-law in a warm way, sort of what Bala always does for Ishita. Raman first reminded Mihika of her strengths and chit chatted with her to lighten her mood up and then brought Mihir to her room as he knew Mihir's words will help her broken spirit and left them alone to start rebuilding their lives together...an emotional reunion scene between two lovebirds :

And finally we got a glimpse of the love that brought Raman and Ishita together: Ruhi. Loved that little touch where a mother recognized her daughter's touch without even turning and what followed next was Ruhi taking away first Ishita and then Raman away from the cloud of gloom that surrounds them and enveloped them with the embrace of her love:

A beautiful episode of human relationships where on one side we saw the ugliness of it in a woman on a mission to malign two innocent other women...and each unit of family supporting each other through their trying times just by providing unconditional support to each other.

I loved the episode so much ...got a little overboard with making collages 😳 Special shout out to the CVs for again giving us the reason why YHM is so close to our hearts.

Gan when I was watching the episode today I was thinking about you and your posts after I stopped blushing like an idiot☺️! I knew you were going to make a post that would make me blush like crazy and I was going read many blush worthy responses. I know I have said the word blush a lot but that was all I was doing during the last couple of minutes! I really love the quotes you have chosen! Beautiful written as always. I am loved today's episode, it had a balance of everything, family bonding, cute couple scene, hot couple scene, Ishu-Ruhi and their BG song, and an amazing family scene which I was really missing.

The Raman-Mihika scene was cute in how he made her realize her mistake. Totally enjoying the jiju-saali bonding. Mihir-Mihika scene was so cute. They are one of those awww couples. Seriously that scene between them I wanted to see happen after Ishita was hospitalized. I wanted them to hold each other and comfort each other on that tiny hospital bed. Oh well maybe sometime in the future.

Shagun is at her evil best and is annoying as ever. The family scenes were they were supporting each other was sweet and I am loving the redemption Simmi and Romi. I wonder what their plan is.

Coming to the Ishra-Ruhi scenes, what can I say about these scenes other than they are always heartwarming. Little Ruhi always steals the scene whenever she is with her parents. The way she cheers up Ishita imitating Toshi Aunty is so cute. Her bond with Ishita is stronger than blood. I love whenever they play BG music, it's so perfect. Ruhi's punishment to her father was adorable because we got one of the most meaningful eye lock so far. It wasn't a romance type of eye lock as it was more of a soulful eye lock. That eye lock was a couple expressing their feelings for one another, admiring one another. The way they looked at each other. Raman's expression just showed his alter most love for Ishita. I think Raman feels guilty in seeing Ishita in pain because of Ashok and Shagun but when he goes near her, his heart doesn't let him let her go. Instead it makes him go closer to him. That to me was his eyes expressed. Ishita face was just counting her blessings. Her daughter and her husband her whole life, and disbelief that she could have it specially Raman's love. To me those where what her eyes were saying.

Now coming to RKB's epic flirting line and whatever the sherbet dialogue meant, all I could feel was:

Lastly my daily poem dedication of Ishra:

Eyes of passion,

Blue and tender,

A world of love awaits,

A soulmate inside,

Sensual touch,

Sensual sight,

Love is strong tonight,

Love is uniting,

Passion burns brightly,

Bodies engage slightly,

Eyes meet and flutter,

Lips touch and quiver,

Voices play together,

Become one forever,

Stare in her eyes,

See the sky,

For love burns brightly.

~ Commi
