A sacrifice, a realization and an acceptance - This, in essence, was what today's beyhadh was all about. The main players have gathered in the lounge while the frozen princess is fighting for her life. Maya is unconscious to the outside world but the outside world is fully focused on Maya.
Arjun is distraught, in desperation he pulls Sanjh towards God, begging her to pray for Maya's recovery. A reluctant Sanjh folds her hand and prays, Arjun joins her in praying- Result - Maya's heart beat stops, her life stills. Why would God accept a prayer and change the destiny when the prayer does not emanate from the heart? Why would God accept the prayer of a man who believes only when he wants something? While one prayer was more of a pacifier to a distraught soul (Arjun), another was selfish! It resulted in Maya's collapse.
You gain something and You lose something This keeps the balance of the universe in check. It cannot be give-give or take-take all the time, a give -take is the law of nature, of life, of universe. A life was taken!! what could equal a life, Happiness of course. but such an act of generosity should come from the heart, only then will the sacrifice be accepted. This time Sanjh sacrifices her happiness for Maya's life! The machine immediately hums with life. Sanjh's unselfish sacrifice is going to bring color into Maya's life.
If Sanjh let go of her happiness for the sake of Arjun's happiness then Maya let go of her mother as the center of her universe. The girl who was shouting for her Maa whenever Ashwin was in the vicinity now calls out for Arjun spontaneously and even in half stupor. From an unstable world, Maya has shifted to a stable world but into an uncharted territory. Any new territory will make one suspicious, wary, somewhat similar will be Maya's life for a while. Her overwhelming need to control every second, every moment will find it tough to adjust to changed situation. Her past will color her present, she will expect dragons to jump out unexpectedly and slay her, that might force her to make pre-emptive strike.
Vandana who was resistant to the idea of Maya as her DIL is now willing to accept Maya as part of the family. She saw and heard Arjun's pain and his love for Maya. Rather than fighting against it, she has accepted the truth -that Arjun loves Maya and has never loved Sanjh.
I loved two things today. One, Jhanvi was a witness to Sanjh & Arjun's bonding and love today. Tomorrow when Insecurity and fear of loss will hit Maya hard, when she cannot trust Arjun, it will be Jhanvi's saner counsel that will show her the glimmering truth.
The second thing was Sanjh's mood swings. It's tough to wish well for the woman who has stolen her happiness but it is tougher to maintain that facade of acceptance!! As soon as Sanjh is back in the bosom of her family, her brave mask crumbles. However, unlike Maya, Sanjh has her family, their unstinting support and their unconditional love.
So Sanjh gives up her dream of being a bride!!
P:S: That piggy bank contained the money that Sanjh collected from her childhood!!! Either her father was a kanjoos or she was cheating..All those years and the piggy bank did not overflow???
