This shit is hilarious. I personally just think that KT is in shock. I think he started to believe that no one would ever love him. He got so insecure after Nandini left that he shut away that part of his life and decided not to give his heart to anyone. Keeping in mind that his wife left him for someone else. Meaning that she wasn't happy with KT. KT would have felt many feelings about this over 17 years. Such as, does he have something about him that stops him from being loved. Or is he terrible in bed, and never satisfied his wife. Like these things really affect men and their egos.
And I thought he never imagined to have a normal marriage with Preeti, because of the way she is, and the way their marriage began. He may think that he is unlovable. So maybe the sudden love confesson just took him by surprise. His mind has frozen.... but his heart is doing ghoomar and his stomach is doing somersaults. Maybe he just leaves in shock and goes to the bedroom to get his head around it. And then when Preeti comes upstairs to bed, feeling awful btw. She may walk into the room with KT waiting for her to tell her that he thinks he is ready to take the next step.
I also have a weird gut feeling that Kushala bought Preeti that red saree and makes her wear it. And Preeti is stuck, so she does. However KT ends up being totally fried, frazzled and turned on by her. And that's when he will progress and she will start to panic. LOL.
I'm looking at this in a positive way. I don't think he will be angry. Because remember the morning after Chor Bazari, when he teased her. Clearly with what he said, he didn't mind the thought of her having feeling for him. He actually said that he liked what she said. So even though he was joking, I feel like it was a hint from him. People always end up saying their supressed inner feelings as a joke in a way to mask it. Maybe he is hopeful to get love from her. So I think he is just in shock. He can be a douche sometimes.... but c'mon... he is isn't that bad of a d**k. I hope. I hope he doesb't break her heart.
Him leaving to go upstairs after that scene will break her heart, but maybe he can save it later on that evening in their bedroom. Fingers crossed.
They both have feelings and love each other. They just need to confess them. I do think that this is a nice, normal and realistic time for a consummation. And I'm hoping that's what the red saree is for because that is one sexy saree on one smokin hot sexy lady.... F**K! I'm dead.
