Wow Janaki you r a gem. I too noticed how broken Virat Sir was when Sai was just brushing away his hand and pushing him away considering him the reason of her Aaba's death...but with his constant perseverance and patience he was able to atleast build up a relation where she might not love him at present but she will trust him to the core...Trust is the pillar of any relation...he has this to his side which will make his journey into Sai's heart less difficult if not easy.Sai also knows and acknowledges that Virat sir kabhi kisi to hurt nahin kar sakte especially use...so..bappa apna ashirwad Sairat par hamesha banaye rakhna

Will reply soon. Busy reading Chavan family WhatsApp chats 🤣

EDITING:

And you can touch its water only one time since it continues to flow. I found that comment pretty interesting since it highlights her firm belief that a moment once lost is lost forever, an opportunity to reach her heart once lost, is lost for forever. (Take note Mr. Chavan). In the future, Virat will have to battle between his love for Sai and his Vaada to Pakhi, his dilemma might cause him to lose the exact moment to capture her heart.

First of all Keshni : 👏👏👏🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️

This post left me feeling the calm that one feels when they hear the rushing roar of the river - it is an irony.

I LOVED how you refer to them as "two streams". Yes! They are definitely two streams headed to unite into a river -- a river that will rage through every rock coming in the way and alter the shape of the path it takes. I thought in the reference to the river they found a common connection -- both of them had attached memories of their most "beloved" people in life. Aaba and Jiva. Aaba's words about a river for a life lesson and childhood happy memories with Jiva by the riverside (also notice that he said Kakusaheb -- it suddenly gave out a certain formal/obligatory feel to the relationship). Both of them, essentially agreed that the river just flows, in silence, without worrying about either the time or the obstacles. The qualities that define them: Sai, who wants to make the most of the 'present' time and live it to the fullest; and Virat, who can take obstacles head on, once he is convinced about something he has to do-- the fight for Sai is the example.

About your perspective of reaching her heart: I loved how you put it! I am going to digress a bit:

I would also like to say that he already has her heart. He reached there a time long ago but then he lost the 'first' chance to learn that she is also aware that he has reached her heart -- he will only learn about it when he is able to earn 'reciprocation' from her. The first missed chance was during the 'main sirf tumhari zimmedari loonga, isse jyada mujhse koi ummeed mat karna. Main tumhara pati kabhi nahi ban paunga'. This had come right after she asked him, "Aap toh mujhse pyaar nahi karte hain na?" He lost his 'second' chance with "agar tum ne kisi se pyaar kiya hota to tum pakhi ke liye mere mann me jo pyaar... dosti hai... use samajh paati". This had come right after her direct outburst: "mujhe koi fark nahi padta aap kisse milte hain, aapko kiske saath rehna hain ya kisse PYAAR karna hai".

Yet, there is a certain yearning in him to hear something from her - not now, but since long before he married her. He wanted to hear her acknowledge his presence at the forced wedding with Jagtap, agree about their 'connection' in the safe house, react to Usha Maushi telling her how Virat is following all her instructions to make her Aaba eat and be healthy... and the overwhelming distress he felt when she kept brushing his hand after Kamal Joshi was shot. Oh boy, he was breaking and how, because he had only managed to make friends with her just the day before.

Sai may not have had a romantic inclination towards him but she has been possessive about his 'attention' in different ways since during the Gadchiroli track. With the kind of teenaged years she has lived, she would never be the one to make the first move in a relationship. She might put on a brave front but the fact is that she is scarred to some extent. In fact, if you see she married him because she had "blind faith" in her Aaba -- "Agar Aaba ne bola hota toh main aankh bandh karke maan leti". Why did she not question his claim that Aaba made him promise that he would take care of her? Because she knew Aaba would have done it. She knew her Aaba loved Virat and he could not have been wrong in his judgement of a man. "Din me roz 500 baar aapka naam lete hain"... All through the hate and badtameezi she showed him in Gadchiroli was a possessive daughter, who did not want to "share" her Aaba with this man, who she knew her Aaba loved. Right now, he has become that object of her mild possessiveness (not yet romantic because those feelings have been brushed aside) but she does have a tinge of jealousy about PP's presence and is quick to notice any eye-locks between Virat and PP too.

If he didn't have the "umeed mat rakhna" T&C, she would have well taken him as her husband and even allowed her heart to be open to him. But, his own actions have been making him miss the opportunity to "touch the water". And yes, those moments are lost forever because the river will flow but you won't be at the same point that it could have been. And, in those lost moments, he has unknowingly forced Sai to build a fort around her. But as you said, Virat has the persevering qualities of the river and so, with his actions, warmth and love, he will eventually cut through the rocks around Sai, to find a way so deep into her heart that she would be compelled to open it to him again - TRULY AS YOU SAID! And, he isn't doing too bad if we see.

A river is also linked to the concept of inevitability, as Virat highlighted, for a river picks its path and there’s nothing that individuals or hurdles can do to stop it from running its course. When Virat reaches the decision- making phase, no hurdle in the form of Pakhi or his family, not even Sai’s indifference, will stop him from choosing his course.

TOTALLY AGREE. But, I actually don't want this romance until he has had a talk with himself about his stupid vaada. He needs to have a monologue first and make it clear. The external obstacles he really doesn't care about. It has already been proven. Once he knows what he wants and has to do, Didi's crocodile tears will be swept away and Sai's fortified walls will not withstand the force of the river eventually, but it is his own internal clutter that he needs to clear or else, the river will only bring flood and destruction.

It reminds me of this:

When this cruel world tears us apart

Your love is like a river flowing from my heart

When sharpened words have left their scars

Your love is like a river flowing from my heart

And it's overflowing and showing us all

How deep and how wide is your love

It never stops, it rages on

Your love is like a river flowing from my heart

I`ll digress a little with some Greek mythology and Pakhi didi. If you`ve read my post on NPD, I mentioned that the word ‘Narcissism’ comes from Greek mythology and the character of Narcissus. Basically Narcissus saw his own reflection in a pool of water, fell in love with it, was amazed by it and was unable to detach himself from the image that the pool showed. Isn't that what happened with Pakhi didi. Pakhi saw herself in a stream (Virat) and Virat’s admiration of her (basically she saw herself from his eyes - a version of herself that could only be cherished and fell in love with that version of herself and by extension with Virat who acted as a sort of validation), was amazed by his admiration and fell in love with an illusion . Now, Pakhi is unable to detach herself from the image that Virat created of her. When Narcissus realised that his love will not be reciprocated - he died and there are various accounts of how he died, some say by suicide, some say he killed himself because he could not have his object of desire, some say he burned from the passion. This really seems to be the fate of Pakhi didi, for she may not die, but she will henceforth trap herself from the vicious circle which could only contribute to her downfall.

I do not want to add even one word to this to ruin the beauty with which you have said this. It just SUMS up the whole Patralekha character so perfectly. Whoever is in love with the character of Patralekha, should read this every morning.

Thank you so much for pointing out how each line from Virat makes Sai reinforce her guards.

And thank you for adding so much to the post❤️
