EDT~ ep 29, 30.11.17, My stance. Written in the stars..
Since time immemorial our obsession with the stars and numerology is much know. It's knowledge about our future that concerns us most, what it holds for us? There are those who go by the auspicious and ill auspicious. Then there are also those who follow the believe that our lives are predestined. Every thing is set by destiny itself. There are also those who hold that we make are own destiny. Today's episode shows us Vyom and Sharanya, seen as in every way made for each other. Its written in their stars to be together. But is conspiracy going on to render them as " star crossed lovers.. ill fated??
Sharanya manages to worm out of the situation of sitting beside the loose fingers Vidyut. She holds on to Vyom's hand in the rear seat, symbolic that she is spoken for! While Vidyut turns in to the chauffeur. But Shiv rules both Bedi's and Bhist's households! by standing on top of the car! His presence will have an impact on both families!
Interesting to note its Chandni who consults the priest, and not Madhvi? Madhvi has reduced her rightful status in the house, from mistress of the house , to the sad case who drinks like a fish! The horoscope baffles, the man of faith. Disparity in what is evident and what Sharanya gains, despite being a rare to find girl, virtuous, cares more for others than herself.. ready to forfeit all if necessary. Should the girl stay with the one she loves, she will endanger his love. love shows an incompletion and a curtailment for her. Within Chandni's mind seeds of treachery begin to sow,here lies an ideal opportunity for her to cause maximum and deepest damage to Rajan Bedi ! she will write Vyom and Rajans stars by her hand!
Along with the stars, faith too plays a crucial role in determining people's lives. Rajan turns to personal devotion. Offers thanks for Maata's grace, and pleads for further requests. To grant Sharanya to Vyom and to him as a daughter in law to their household. Chandni walks in bemused by his devotion! tongue in cheek! Chandni returns as a bearer of good tidings from the temple! The horoscope shows they are a perfect match! according to the priest ten days from now are auspicious for the wedding. Chandni lies about the horoscope to bring doomsday to Rajan Bedi. So the expected treachery within the family continues, without Rajan getting an inkling of Chandni's game plan! A drunken Madhvi is easy target for Chandni to topple! Chandni has feelers, she senses dark secrets in this family, of which Rajan is the keeper! Anyone can see, Rajan is more than desperate for this marriage to happen, while Madhvi isn't! Chandni figures out, for secrets to unravel.This marriage has to happen! Besides if Vyom dies after his marriage.. that way too! Chandni will win the wager in all cases!!
A devout devotee cannot go past Maata's temple without offering obeisance for returning Vyom's life to her. For giving Vyom her blessed protection! That Sharanya's need to stop by at the temple ,too has method in it. Destiny plans yet another meeting between her and the sage Sadhvi ...this time Sharanya greets her, Sadhvi hopes she hadn't offended her last time they met , as she left in a fluster! Sharanya seeks pardons from her.. tells her he was involved in a mishap, at that very point she recalled what she had warned her about.. as such now she is marrying him! undeterred by an unknown fear. Sadhvi smiles.. she has won Sharanya's trust!! Once again Sadhvi reassures Sharanya she made the correct decision, that he loves her a lot.. a rare quality to find amongst men today. She predicts, now that Vyom has her beside him..troubles and harm will be at bay from him. Sadhvi asks if she came alone? Sharanya reports he had a mishap, so unwell to come up to the temple however she can come and meet him..
This is not meant to happen! as it will reveal the identity of the man Sadhvi used to see with Sharanya many years ago! So, she explains since the past twenty five years, she has not once left the temple it's her vow and dedication.. hence she cannot break it ..
To chivvy on the story line, Sadhvi wishes Sharanya well, but not without a specific warning..that see to it the nuptials take place before the solar eclipse! As any later after that.. will cost him his life!
Before she can fathom Sadhvi's bidding.. Vidyut interrupts! calls out for Sharanya! And the woman disappears! Again shranaya only get to find half the warning and misses the tail end! However , from the highest most step of the temple courtyard.. she does symbolize high moral standing! Sadhvi faintly spots, the rear view of Vyom sitting on the bottom of the stairs, Sharanya, tends to him, apologizes for holding him up! Sadhvi smiles benignly at the pair. But before she turns to leave. Sadhvi too senses a presence around her.. sees its Shiv! he glares up at her from the bottom of the steps and Sadhvi is anxious..the imminent danger is larger then she imagined.. she hopes Sharanya is equipped with the much required strength to face the threat!..even Sadhvi too sees Shiv as negative? Was he not then the man in question? she saw years ago with Sharanya ?does this confirm it was Vyom she saw then?
Home coming is familial warmth from both sides! Brimming with good news for the couple! Match is auspicious ! wedding in ten days time! To top it all over zealous Rajan declares engagement will be celebrated today at the Bhist residence! All are happy except Madhvi... is this wedding going to spell ultimate happiness for Vyom or an impending doom?? Yet for Vyom the one thing that matters is Sharanya's consent.. she nods..
Shiv alone, desolate, lost in the jungle of unrewarded love.. bellows Sharanya's name. His broken heart bleeds from the very sockets of his eyes.. Elsewhere at Odhni's abode, she notices on Shiv's etching, trickles of blood streams pouring out of Shiv's eyes! She pleads a case for Sharanya , what does he want from the girl?? Speak! Odhni feels the etching and ends up feeling real blood on her fingertips and palms! In horror she screams and runs in panic!!!
The mystery goes on.. Shiv replies not.. but, for himself and all who can fathom a mad lover's tale, for whom love continues till even after death ! he muses in verse.. bleeding eyed Shiv.. recites, "all my desires will end when I meet you."when my eyes look into yours. "Even I am waiting for that one moment, when we will be reunited... hamlet53 1.12.17..
The episode is high powered one, references to destiny, predictions, plotting , family betrayal, all going on against the backdrop of a predestined wedding. Tomorrow another attempt is made at killing Vyom...by a deeply agitated Shiv.
