Lovely episode today! I enjoyed it - because I like Adilie but but I am unable to fully understand Imlie. She seems to not be consistent. On one end - she tells Adi - he needs to focus on Malini and then she herself looks for his attention. Yesterday the Sindoor was a bemani...Today its a gift from Adi to be kept forever. She alternates between not wanting to come between Malini and Adi and herself initiating conversations that open up opportunities for Adi and her to have a moment.
Electricity night - saying she is leaving, telling him she had to eat the food he made out of love, Good night, today good morning and the sindoor gift dialog.
She knows Adi loves her and is attracted to her...how can she expect him to seriously continue with Malini - if she is not pulling away...or is her expectation that he will straddle both boats and be with her on the sly.
Not sure if she is doing this because she is unable to keep away and if she even realizes - she is not being consistent. Her immaturity or inability - not sure what is the matter...I'm confused as to where she is coming from.
Does she not realize all her interactions with him will make it more difficult for him to keep his vachan regarding Malini?
Have seen so many views like this on Imlie and I feel so confused, but I think this was expressed so I could see where it was coming from. Overall, her inconsistency is directly related to both her immaturity and her inability to understand the depths of her own and BBSB feelings.
Imlie seems to relate her ability to stay away from her BBSB as akin to her being able to stay without her father. I mean she's dealt with not having an important person there, yearning for that person and wanting them around, but still manages to stay without them, so she thinks it'll be the same thing here. But it's not right? The inconsistency comes across as refreshingly realistic because, honestly, how often do we make big promises and vachans like this and follow through? Especially when it's at a complete contrast to what you want from your heart. Imlie thinks she can do it, be without BBSB and see him with someone else, but she couldn't stay one day in PD without him.
Sindoor is a bemani to didi, but it's a gift from "the person she holds dearest" (as she herself admits before the sindoor scene). She goes into the room to leave a candle, and he holds her hand making her stay. He cooks a meal for her, so she eats it without drawing attention to it by having it away from everyone. There's constantly a battle for her heart v mind, and it's especially tough as the person she's running from is adamantly chasing her.
Imlie is struggling with her "vachan" as much as BBSB is, just in very different ways. While BBSB knows he wants the truth out but is holding back for this vachan, Imlie doesn't know how deep her feelings are, and can't make proper decisions here because she wants to be with him but won't LET herself be with him. So in moments where she needs to decide to be with him or not, easy answer: no can't hurt Malini didi. But when it comes to every single day of being in the same vicinity as him, she's going to make decisions from her heart too.
Lets see if something happens to make her more strict on this vachan business. My guess is yes, but eventually... not right at this moment.
