Been a busy day...
I loved the episode. I was slightly apprehensive after yesterday's pre-cap, but thankfully it didn't disappoint.❤️
For me, the episode was Virat's. He has been burning in the fire of regret, guilt, sorrow at Sai's condition, the pain of being separated from her forever and self-loathing - these tumultuous emotions which he had to endure in a short time and all alone. He tried to put up a brave front, tried to be dignified about her impending departure from his life. He was so sincere and earnest in his apology and his regret. But when the reality came, the dam broke - and how. I had mentioned somwhere else that all his past transgressions had been eating away at his self-esteem - deep inside he began to feel himself unworthy of Sai - Sai, who was everything good (that he was not). That's how I read him since the past few weeks.
Today he was a broken man. Desperate yet feeling helpless in convincing Sai to give him another chance. In despair that his 'unexplainable' bouts of rage ruins everything he values and the accompanying self-loathing makes him want to kill himself. I believe he would have killed himself if Sai had passed - out of the guilt of having killed the love of his life. Thankfully, life gave him a second chance. So, will he take this chance or will he err? I believe that this time it will be lasting. Today I saw a cleansing ritual for Virat - and at the end he came out a more peaceful, wiser man. The insecurities, the weight of the wrongs he had committed, the burden of his self-loathing, the deep regret of losing his soulmate - the anguish and the angst of it all burst out through his tears. At the end, his sincerity and earnestness was rewarded - by the kind, gentle soul who chose to be with him through his worst side. At the end, he was emotionally drained but above all relieved - free from his burdens and his fear. Sai is truly a sweetheart.❤️
Looking at the episode - this man's heart is truly alone.💔He has plenty of people around him and yet he is isolated in a lot of ways. Sai is his oasis and together they create their own little world - separate from everybody and everything. There they joke about being called names, pull each other's legs and give themselves the freedom to be brutally honest about each other's mistakes. Life doesn't give many chances. Virat is lucky and he knows that - it is a testament to his character. Hope their relationship is the rock they both need in their lives. Love and support conquers all. They both deserve it. ❤️
Just a parting thought....
Is self-loathing beneficial for bringing about a change? Guilt is definitely necessary - it propels the person to introspect, realise and make amends. But when guilt changes to extreme shame or self-hatred - it only serves to be self-destructive. One cannot make amends or take responsibility while torturing one's soul. That's not how human psyche works.
