Well guys, the precap scene is finally here😆.....and for a change it happened exactly as they showed it😆.....with one minor change....it wasn't Imlie Aditya KUMAR Tripathi.....just Imlie Aditya Tripathi😆
Backing up a bit.....Adi wasn't really shown introspecting further about his alter ego realization....but he did manage to call Malini simply to tell her that he will stay back an extra day😆. Malini let go of all her shak temporarily to rain desperate "I love you's" on him but Adi's only response (even through tortured guilty tears) was that he will be delayed by a day😆. Malini my dear, you've already lost him in many ways....he couldn't even muster up a token I love you in response to your many I love you's. And then he proceeded to lie on top of that once more about where he is😆.
For a change, there are storms brewing around her but Imlie mostly gets to be blissfully unaware😆.....she has no idea how much Adi-Malini's marriage is falling apart while she enjoys these few moments with her Babusahib.
Most of the episode was built around Malini's emotional unraveling as she further broke down on hearing Adi lie to her on the phone and then after trying to find hope in her wedding album and wedding video, she finally succumbed to her Mom's advice that Adi needs to learn to value her so she should walk out of the house.
Once again that contrast was set up pretty strikingly. Malini is walking out of the house with the EXPECTATION that Adi will value her, come to heel over this stunt.....while Imlie left him without having any expectations.....even now she is quite content to do a pooja on her own for a mannat for him and is willing to bear recriminations from others to spare him the awkwardness of doing rituals. So then is it any surprise that the girl who doesn't approach relationships with a sense of cause/effect expectations is the one who is being rewarded with the regard that is long overdue to her?
Today, Imlie didn't ask anything of Adi other than an extra day to attend her pooja.....instead, she got an Adi who stepped up himself to do the pooja with her....apni MARZI se.....and then also proceeded to give his name to her.....that moment when Imlie closed her eyes, dreading that he will take Malini's name and he takes Imlie's name instead.....and then simultaneously the Adi-Malini wedding video gets stuck😆.....what symbolism all around.....lol
The final scene was also symbolic of more of this....Adi-Imlie stepping forward together into the mandir while Malini takes her bags and steps out of the Tripathi house after a long drawn goodbye.....lol.....things are shifting for now.
Finally a new precap as well....seems like it will be a poignant night conversation b/w Adi-Imlie as they sit and guard some mannat ka diya.....and it seems Imlie will tell him again that she alone is enough to nibhaao her rishta.....and then later Adi will injure himself trying to preserve the flame of her diya.....so much symbolism 😆
Anyways, a good, regular Imlie epi.....but I still feel a lot of things remain up in the air. Adi's flip is still pending....he will likely flip when he learns Malini has left the house and that she knows he lied to her. So far no signs of Imlie returning with Adi either.....so let's see what's in store for our Imliya even as Babusahib heads back to face some consequences.
I felt so bad for the poor Tripathis today.....Malini's decision has been taken in childish impulse and the Tripathis are taking the guilt on themselves....in this moment, I did wish Imlie was with them....woh sabko sambhaal leti.
