The pleasure was in seeing our strings cross and separate and then come back together.
John Green
Episode 145 & 146
Who thought an accident would lead these two strangers infront of this sacred fire today.
Last time when Aditya and Zoya had walked down to the mandap for the virani's they both were having flashbacks of their marriage to their respective partners. Today as Zoya walks down to Aditya at the mandap, they only have flashbacks of their time spent together. They fondly remember even the bitter moments which stirred their way to present day.
Aditya extends his hand towards Zoya to escort her into his life officially. Same hand which had once pushed her then held her at the edge of Zosh terrace asking her if she wants to live or die. Even though he pulls her back to live, once he leaves her on the terrace she imagines yash, and in order to save the memories of her and yash, Zoya stays in the rain which pushes her to near death. That day when aditya pulled her hand back he literally dragged her out of the past. Today he extended his hand to hold her hand and pull her into the future with him.
Coming to Varmala and the snake. For me it indicated that, through some part of their journey an evil shadow will be present in their marriage. Since the snake hide till the last moment, I felt it showed that the shadow will be present but Zoya or Aditya won't be able to discover it till it attacks them.
Now the vows taken by Zoya. This is it, Aditya may have expressed his feelings for Zoya in private when proposing to her. He made promises when they were alone in the streets. But Zoya declares her love in public holding his hand. She makes promises to him in between people, the world is witness of her love. Zoya gives him the promise he has been craving all his life. Her loyalty. She vows to have only his name in her heart till death and beyond.
Aditya gets lost in her words. His efforts to brings them both together has finally paid off.
Another important vow Zoya took was to protect Aditya. She declared, any trouble has to first cross through her to get to aditya. Now going back to the virani track when adiya had taken fake pheras, the fire around which they took them was still sacred as mantras were real. It joined them unknowingly. Aditya felt a sense of protective instinct towards her. He behaved like a husband by shouting at the old virani stating jo pati apni patni ko sarr pe na chadhaye woh pati keh laneke layek nahi hai'
Throughout the jungle track he did not leave her hand, even when Zoya asked him to he had shouted I won't leave you. Aditya went to an extent to put his life at stake by asking harsh to free Zoya or else he will confess to a crime he never committed. That was when the pheras were incomplete, now with this marriage as the pheras are complete, Zoya will take the protective step forward. This time Zoya will put herself at stake to free Aditya from a crime he never committed. She herself had declared in the truck once to aditya that hum mein yakeen hai' when he had asked her if she believes he was innocent.
When aditya removes the garland with snake he actually breaks the garland off Zoya. He could have removed the garland from above but he pulls it to break it off. For me it showed Aditya will break any relation harming Zoya he won't just remove them from his life but will break it off and in the process it will spread its venom through him. Zoya will suck that poison out and pull him out from near death.
The way aditya stood between anjana and Zoya declaring, she is my wife. The smile on zoya's face showed she never got that kind of treatment before. Yash never stood between her and his family, never declared her as his wife in public. Which is why when in the initial episode Zoya had come to yash's house for his last rights no one knew who was yash's wife. All the ladies were shocked to see yash had a wife.
The jail part, Harsh's behaviour was a bit weird for me. He may not be the main culprit at this point but he is definitely hiding some secret which is why he is ready to apologise to waseem. I had watched the first episode again last weekend for a different post and I noticed something. When pooja's post-mortem report comes out the doctor tells harsh everything is natural and at that time sakshi and harsh exchange a suspicious look. It's a tiny scene but I thought there is some secrecy there.
Zoya remembers her mother's word from the wedding and stood up to Aditya from forcing his mother. She has already lost her own family, she understands the pain. She is unwilling to put Aditya through that pain as well. She swallows that pain and puts Aditya before herself. Aditya had bent down at arshad's feet, had taken that humiliation for her. Today Zoya bends down at anjana's feet despite her taunts at the doorstep for Aditya.
They crossed each other's path on the streets of mussorie, they separated by a lake in Mumbai and they came back to each other on the streets of Mumbai.
PS - was it just me or anyone else loved the wedding manstra music which was a bit different from rest of the shows I have seen ?
