Payal actually protected Rishi

I had always maintained EHT has shown every woman as a protective force in a man's life and how he dealt with her resulted in his way up or down eventually. When Mrs Ganguly and Mrs Basu were silent their husbands had a good image in society. The moment these ladies decided to speak against their atrocities along with their speech both these men lost everything they held near and dear. Sakshi already told. Durga, Suchitra also I had already told.

</div><div>Though I had never expected it after seeing yesterday's epi I am quite happy that they have shown Payal the rape victim also as a protector. In showing her as a protector CVs have actually delivered a verystrong message. A woman easily forgives the gravest crimes for a drop of kindness shown to her, then why is the man so much bent on abusing her again and again.

So why do I tell her as a protector. When Rishi asks her to escape he extracts a promise from her that she will not tell the truth to anyone even to Nithya. And he lies to Shaurya that Payal hit him and escaped. During the trial he is also an accused rapist. Actually given the circumstances if Payal had broken the promise and told Nithya about what happened, and if the news of Rishi helping Payal had leaked out Shaurya wouldn't have spared Rishi or his family. He would have destroyed them as Shaurya hates betrayals.

Even when coward Rishi was ok being accused rapist, even while suffering humiliation Payal didn't break the promise she gave to Rishi for listening to her and being kind enough to let her go on that fateful horrific night.

And yesterday even while Rishi told he is a coward which he is Payal didn't show any hatred towards him. She was still thankful for that drop of kindness he provided her and again thankful for saving her second time.

And one thing I know if Rishi shows enough courage to accept his crime and take a stand for her in front of the world she will give the testimony that will make a hero out of him.

And that is what woman is. A man doesn't win when he overpowers her physically, he wins when he conquers her heart.

I want that to be one of Shaurya's biggest punishment. He betrayed by his own friend not once, but twice. The guy who he has bullied like anything to walk his line being afraid of him taking the glory from under his feet while hebecomes the most hated man in whole of Kolkatta.
