Hello Leo
Happy Monday π
Let me get to the ranting part directly π
Till the episode aired, I was honestly believing that the report could NOT be Ishita's medical report. I did not think Ishita and Raman were at a stage in their relationship where they could think of a child. In spite of the real Love they have for each other, they havent yet reached intimacy stage.
I would have wholeheartedly accepted that scene if this report, if it were not related to fertility. Like, if Ishita had a different medical condition and she had be told it was not curable, and if Raman found something that could solve that problem. His intention, his discomfort of seeing her in pain and everything would have been touching (to me that is).
But this subject is something that they have never discussed. I fail to understand how one party in a couple in this modern day and age could do something like this without discussing with the other. and seriously, is this our CVs 'sanskari' way of showing they are ready for the NEXT step in their relationship ? seriously ? what is next ? they lie on the bed, lights go out and Voila Ishita starts fainting and throwing up in a couple of episodes ? If that is what they wanted, they could have shown it later, once they had started living a regular marital life.
To me, no matter how I analyse this scene, the end result is going to look like, they got intimate to have a child OR Raman was desperate OR being intimate without the need to have a child is somehow 'illegitimate' even if you are a married couple.And, What is more baffling is Ishita's need to say 'Oh I don't care about it anymore'. I think, as a viewer, I was taking Ishita's pain more seriously than she is.
If it looks like I am reading too much into it, it is because I am. This was one of the last remaining issues in this story that was still rooted firmly in the beginning. This was still an angle where I was hoping they'd manage more realistically.
Anyhoo... in my eyes, if they want to fix this now, they SHOULD show them consummating their marriage in the next episode after Ishita has declared she doesnt care about having a baby anymore. At least then, it won't feel like a baby is "the start and end of it all" >> and no, this is not a fan's attempt to see steamy romance.π its just a wish to see a sensible story. and today's scene would make sense to me and I will take back my words π³
PS: I know this show is like a comedy of medical errors, but seriously, which ob-gyn would review an Old report (I am assuming this report is from the time when Subbu broke up with Ishita) and return a different diagnosis without examining a patient?
PPS: The belly dancer was a nice light comical touch π³ Why do the mothers have to come there when they have actually planned for IshRa to have alone time ? π²
