In pursuit of happiness

Originally posted by: skydome

Yesterday 's episode - the meeting of Shobha and Vikram was the first time they stood face to face to confess their feelings between each other. Yes it was not the prototype 'I love you' like confession- but the body language, expressions and eyes said it all. I think for both it was clear that their feelings/ affection for each other was more than "just friends "- that both of them respect and unconditionally love each other.

Shobha, who is going through a very difficult stage of her life with a characterless hippocrate husband (opposite her character), is shattered to find out a solution, how best to give her two kids a normal home, and protect the kids from being branded as kids of a broken home. Although shobha knows that compromising, and starting anew with Samrath's may not be the ideal answer- but for the sake of her children 's happiness she is willing to sacrifice her happiness (note: not her self respect and dignity). She was in this dilemma-whether to give Samrath a second chance be the right direction "in pursuit of happiness " for her kids. When she met Vikram and was advised by him that she should return to Samrath, and give the kids a normal home- she was relieved and decided to return.

It is a highly complicated situation , and for now looks to be the correct step (Shobah's returning to samarth) it goes with Shobah's character. How-ever, this time in the journey of "happiness for the kids", if she experiences the similar evil habits of Samrath's , one can be rest assured, that she will put her foot down, and will take a step that will give her kids happiness, and a loving/ respectable home for her. But she has to do it herself, so that in the future there is no GUILT, of - should I have given a second chance to Samrath? was he really sorry, and sincere to change for the good ...? WHO IS HE?

So did shobha realize vikram's unconditional love?

Coming to shobha and vikram's relationship- vikram's unconditional love for shobha was very clear to the audience, and also to Shobha. I think vikram's unconditional feelings for shobha was very much understood by her. She had come to question Vikram about that, and her first move to hug him was the sign of that understanding - the action was good enough for shobha to express her feelings for Vikram(again at this phase of time the word "having an affair" , is not the branding shobha wants to give to her and vikram's pure , devine and selfless love. ) Vikram returning her hug, expressed his feelings very well too.

Who is Samrath?

The mystery about how he got bale, and the mystery of returning to shobha' s house is yet to be seen. Once it is clear with sobha who in reality her husband is, she will take the correct steps which will for sure give her and her kids the ultimate happiness, selfless love, respect and dignity.

Will shobha request Vikram to move with his life along with sariika?

I hope and pray that the writers will not destroy the story by doing that, and move into the direction of jealousy...

Will Vikram be there to support/ protect shobha and her kids?

Yes. I think he will never betray shobha.

Finally- we should not think shobha as just a single woman. She comes with two kids, whom she will not sacrifice for anything, not even Vikram's selfless love.

I am sure shobha being an honest person, will succeed to win this battle of "in pursuit of happiness " with her own courage, strength and intelligence. Of course, she will always have that unconditional and sincere support and help from Vikram, when ever, needed

For now we will be seeing her to mend her home for her kids.
