~Little steps, real steps~

(Vat savitri)

Some of the most defining moments of Raghvi and their marriage were about Vat savitri. When they were just starting out, Raghav had asked her if she would do vat savitri for him. It was the first time he'd spoken to her as a husband, but Pallavi had looked away and stayed mum. Their relationship was still in turmoil back then, and Raghav's path to redemption had just started. As much as she wanted to believe in him, she had no clue whether their marriage would even work out.

Fast forward a few months later, and Pallavi is gifted her shagun for the Vat Savitri pooja. Both the saree and the bangles are disastrous, but Pallavi is happy anyway because Raghav chose them for her. As she drapes the saree and adores herself in the mirror, the elation in her eyes is real.

It's clear she isn't used to receiving gifts, and to receive them for Vat Savitri — an occasion that was taboo for her for so long — it touches the deepest corners of her heart.

A few minutes later, she comes to thank Raghav and tell him about the significance of Vat Savitri. But the conversation doesn't go as planned. The man who had so dearly wanted her to do this pooja for him, was now forbidding her from doing it. "Don't bow under societal pressure," he tells her. But how is he to know... it isn't society she's listening to, it's her own heart. "I've wronged you so much, why would you fast for me?" he asks. But how is he to know... the woman in front of him has a heart like no other. She doesn't hold grudges, she only carries gentleness and love.

As he comes closer and closer, Pallavi stays rooted in place. "To tum mere liye kuch feel karta hai?" he asks. Gone was the girl who would look away in such a moment... right now she was a wife, staring into the eyes of her husband. However, she doesn't confirm anything, and neither is she able to take a step forward.

Fast forward again... and it's the day of the occasion! She descends like a queen... looking every bit the gorgeous Marathi mulgi that she is

But this time... Raghav stays rooted in place, while Pallavi takes the steps forward. This is a marked change in their equation. From here onward, it'll always be Pallavi leading the way, taking charge of their relationship. Raghav has given her the reins.

Vat savitri — the occasion where Savitri brought back Satyavaan from the dead. Pallavi has done the same thing — from within the broken pieces, she has brought back to life the gentle, softhearted Raghav Rao. The man who'd always wanted a happy life and a loving family. When their fast breaks, it does so with a promise from Pallavi... a promise to stay by his side always. Through all his highs and lows.

And honestly, that is what she does best, isn't it?

~A little bit Closer~

(RR waking up on her stomach)

This was the scene where for the first time we got to see them be a regular married couple who share the same bed, wake up in each other’s arms (ok not quite, but same difference )... it was beautiful and ‘’ahem’’ hot? Yup, very hot!!!

It had not been long since they started sharing a bedroom, which used to be his space earlier. And we wondered if they were ever going to show them sleeping together. Would there be the regular pillow wall like before or are they going to stick to their side of the bed? But as our eyes followed the camera, moving in sync with the early morning sun filtering through their bedside window, birds chirping in the background, slowly bringing into focus these two sleeping peacefully together as one, it took us all by surprise. I don’t think I have seen a more aesthetically shot morning scene with an onscreen couple before.

He had his head resting on her stomach, one hand encircling her tiny waist and other one holding her hand. And there she was, her petite frame almost entirely covered by his broad back, sleeping blissfully unaware of his proximity. I don’t know how many times I paused and re-winded to see them in that position but soon the alarm went off and woke her up. She tried to reach for it to turn it off and it’s then that she realized she couldn’t move because of the weight of the body lying on her.

What I loved about that moment — she realized he was sleeping on her, but she wasn’t shocked or uncomfortable. She didn't want to wake him up so very carefully tried to move him. But obviously that turned out to be quite a task. So he woke up and immediately saw her face just inches away.

Unlike her, he was shocked and embarrassed when he realized that he was on her side of the bed. Suddenly, she was also aware of the situation and had to make an excuse to get away from him to beat the awkwardness.

(Did I mention what a welcome change it was to see her in a nightgown?)

Anway, she went to the bathroom to ‘’freshen up’’ and stood there trying to let the feeling sink in. He was lying on her, holding her hand. She could still feel his strong grasp around her wrist, the scent of his cologne on her. It was magical and the feeling was making her giddy.

She couldn’t stop smiling and blushing looking at herself in the mirror. The intimacy, the feel of his body so close to her... he was actually holding her hand in his sleep. Had they been sleeping in that position all night long? It was all so hard to believe yet it happened and she couldn't stop thinking about it. She had no monologues, but her expression said it all. She was in love

~A Kid at Heart~

(Drunk Pallavi)

From going “aww” as she listened to her MIL talk about her moments with her late husband... to urging MIL to relax and drink... to sharing her own grief and thoughts... to taking in her mother-in-law's advice... to easing MIL's pain when she sobs remembering her late husband... to dancing with her mother-in-law.

Pallavi was the cutest and most adorable daughter-in-law in this entire sequence.

Who later magically transforms into a macchar (mosquito), and sits on ventilation window in an effort to seek moksha from this world..

But her daadi wala baba, I mean her husband, being the cruel man that he is, refuses to let her seek moksha in peace and threatens to open a vault full of lizards if she doesn’t come down back to him.

Poor Macchar, fearing heinous lizards that will kill her, relents and literally jumps back to him.

But Macchar didn’t forget to praise her Ghamandi Rao hubby for showing bravery by catching her in his drunken state, putting his patli kamariya at stake.

Awards him with a new name - Sweet Rao

Tired after the night’s shenanigans, Pikachu Pallu sleeps like a baby as her hubby carries her back to their room.

Pallavi/Ved phone call

Pallavi’s verbal assault of Ved has got to be one of funniest moments in MHRW so far. It left him completely speechless because he was not prepared for it. She was the wildcard that took by complete surprise, so much so that he literally disappeared from their lives after that. He was counting on her being the stereotypical wife who would doubt her husband if she got to know that he has been hiding things from her thus creating problems for Raghav. But the minute she got to know that it was him, she pulled the rug from under his feet so quick that he did not get a chance to make a comeback. She knew Ved was in town thanks to Farhad and was the reason Raghav was so tensed. It helped that she did not know what Ved was capable of, which is why she was not intimated at all ..Infact she treated him like some ''gali ka gunda'' who had to be shown his place. It was absolutely hilarious, not just her non stop gaalis but also his dumbstruck expression.This scene reminded me of Geet bulldozing her ex-bf over the phone. It was a funny scene but it effectively nullified Ved's plan to use Pallavi to hurt Raghav.

Pallavi confronts Raghav about Mandaar’s accident

In spite of her resolve to know the truth about her late-husband’s death, her desperation to find a closure for her family and the recollection of hurtful memories from her first wedding as she listens to the details of Mandaar’s accident- It doesn’t take Pallavi long to figure out that parts of this story are false and have been manipulated.

Just because she knows that Raghav cannot do that. He’s too kind a person to leave someone to die.

First she’s appalled that Raghav would try to pull off such a stunt which put them, their relationship on a pedestal and hence she confronts him. Moreover she has the right to know the truth and Raghav is the last person she would expect to keep it from her. She refuses to buy his facade as she is well aware of what he’s capable of- loving too deep and too selflessly, being altruistic and using money to buy the witnesses.

Pallavi sees right through him and challenges him that she would bring the real culprit to justice - as it was not only her but the whole family who has suffered a lot for last 2 years. The major cause of her misery is the possibility of Mandaar being alive had he received due medical attention in time. She resolves to stand by the right, while making it clear to Raghav that her closure is not going to come at his cost. She’s not ready to give him up just like that, and she won’t let him do that either.

Pallavi’s outburst when RR sneakily changes recording pen - dry/wet Mehndi episode

Amma's harsh words weren't the reason for the hurt in her eyes but the betrayal of the person she considered as her support system and life partner.

Him trying to save his sister who was the reason for the pain and humiliation she faced for two years broke some hidden strings inside her heart.

A widow who only talked about the humiliation and indifference she faced from society, for the first time expressed the emotions and agony she went through on that fateful night as a newly wed, she talked about how her dream day turned into a nightmare within a few moments.

She broke down when he snatched away her chance to move on from the tragedy which wrecked her life and shattered her dreams. She shredded her facade of strong human in front of him to make him realise his mistakes.

Him walking away from her declaring he will always choose his sister left her numb.

-Going to Jail with RR - Jahan Raghav wahan Pallavi-

You know, in this scene we could see everything Pallavi's past hurts resurface.

She was not only frustrated with Raghav and his false confession, she was frustrated that this action of his was going to take him away from her. Something that would take a husband away from his wife.

This is so important because what she was essentially experiencing (before she landed herself in jail) was a form of loss all over again.

She blatantly yelled at Raghav, asking him, who gave him the right to take her husband away from her. This is the root of her issue with his actions.

She had been through so much as a widow that she couldn’t fathom going through a similar experience again. Especially when we consider the fact that she already has feelings for R at this point. Unnamed feelings, but feelings all the same. She knew the separation from R would be so much worse than what she experienced with M. With M it was the loss of hopeful dreams of the future. But with R. the loss would be so much more. The person she had come to rely on, that was her rock, was willingly leaving his place in her life. This is not something Pallavi could tolerate.

Pallavi is fierce when it comes to protecting her own. And by this point, she’s already accepted Raghav as her own.

Her declaration to Raghav is not just about supporting him but also maintaining her ties to him. Where he is, she is. He can’t separate himself from her so easily. She said it so matter of factly, so blunt. It was said in a way where he could not argue against it. As if it was a fact of life.

She’s willing to be ride or die with him because that’s how loyal and committed she is to him and their relationship. Its also her way of showing him that she’s there to support him. to be there for him even when he doesn’t want her to be because that’s what she does for her own.

And then, layered on top of this is Pallavi’s need to fight injustice. She knows that Raghav is committing injustice to himself and she can’t stand for that/let that happen. She can’t get justice for her family by committing injustice to another’s. She doesn’t operate out of convenience. She knows why R did what he did, she understands his need to protect his sister. But she can’t stand by and watch him do something that will harm himself in the end. She loves him (unknowingly at this point) too much to let that happen.

-Kaise mujhe tum mil gyi -

The man infront , he might have been the don of Hyderabad to everyone , but her .

She saw him for what he was

for her , he was the man who stood btw the world and her

She could read his eyes how he he was torn between her and his sister in the past few days so much that just to give her closure he opted to go to the jail .

He was hurting because she was hurt .

She walked into the room to see him groan about how his back hurt after sleeping on the floor for a night just like a kid .his antics , they were just so cute that she couldn't help smiling yet she was concerned .

In the past few days , she had grown closer her to him . She hadn't realised how smooth this progression was , as he had very silently slipped into her everyday life around her .

This transition was smooth yet it gave her chills whenever he was around her , the atmosphere was so palpable that sometimes she felt her heart had skipped a beat .

When he winced again , her hands suddenly wanted to help him .

She was torn between her rationale of where it could lead , but she did it anyway

As she went close and started unbuttoning his shirt , she could clearly make out how surprised he was at her actions

Was she thinking too much ? Was acting on her instincts wrong ?

The answers never made up their way to her head as the air around her and him was tugging heartstrings

She had never been this close to any man before - she rationalised but she knew he wasn't just any other man ,

he was Raghav and the name meant way more to her than she herself knew

The ease which he left her to carry on ,

his intense gaze just on her like she was the centre of his universe - it was astonishing .He did astonish her every now and then , and recently the frequency was much higher

She got her knack ready , making place for them to sit as she slowly pressed the soaked towel on his back

The closeness was hitching her breath , yet the silence was calming

He winced again and she slowly blew air and pressed the towel on his shoulder muscles trying to relive them off the tension .

This man could never stop surprising her she thought , but that thought made her stomach churn as she wanted to understand him more than anyone ever could

In all these thoughts , suddenly she slipped only for him to hold her from the fall

His eyes were intense yet soo gentle with concern for her

and hands holding her firmly from the fall .

In the intense gaze of his , all she wanted to know after the last few long days

was if he would hold her if she ever fell

And he had just answered it

Without ever her asking

-Exposing Sunny -

Pallavi Raghav Rao. Quite a name isn't it? If the moral strength of Pallavi wasn't enough, we also had the shrewdness of Raghav Rao backing her up when it was time to finally expose Sunny. Pallavi, being the quick-witted woman that she is, had been able to come so far in her quest to find the real culprit of the accident without the help of her husband. Hence, it is obvious that with the key to this conundrum and her husband by her side, it was only a matter of time before she drew the curtains on Keerti and Sunny's charade.

The composure in her attitude when she confronted Keerti was just a calm before the storm, and her eyes which reflected nothing but determination were an indication of exactly that. She looked like a queen, ready to fight her battle, moving around with her head held high and speaking in a voice filled with certainty. She used the same tactics on both Keerti and Sunny but the difference in the execution was impressive. The agitation and the urgency to expose Keerti had been very well contrasted with the calmness she had while exposing Sunny. I think, while exposing the former, she had been under a lot of pressure for she was choosing to send her sister in-law, her best friend, to jail. The stress from this is what fuelled her desperate plans, giving away many of her weaknesses to the enemy. However, with the latter, she was much more poised and cunning, for there was no sword of everlasting guilt hanging above her neck. She used the expression kill them with kindness in a very literal sense by luring Keerti into her trap with the idea of her "well deserved happiness." I have always admired her ability to use any situation to her advantage and seeing her in this form, making use of every single hint that was unknowingly dropped has made me respect her all the more.

We got to witness Pallavi Rao in action during this sequence. Raghav had been shown behind her directly or indirectly, which shows that he would be acting as her support and would back her up whenever needed. This is exactly the kind of support Pallavi needed to reach her true potential of being a detective. The way they walked into Sunny's house together was so symbolic. They walked in next to each other which shows that she is Raghav Rao's equal. If he is venerated for being astute, she is no less than him. The power this woman holds in her is beyond comparison and it would be a lie to say that Raghav wasn't impressed when he understood her plan. Well, how could one not be utterly dumbfounded by her?

She is in all senses a queen.

-Dheere Dheere Se Tera Hua-

Pallavi looked at the black, sleeveless dress her husband had bought for her with a myriad of emotions flowing within her.

She was surprised first, then in awe and lastly happy, happy that someone thought of her, bought her a gift without an occasion, just to make her happy. She was a bit speechless, not knowing what to say.

Her silence was interpreted as rejection by Raghav, however she stopped him. Tying her hair in a pony, she went ahead to wear it, one of her first intimate gifts from the love of her life.

The gift was different, it seemed Raghav made her realize that she would love wearing such dresses too. She knew how much her acceptance meant for Raghav, the look of anticipation on his face said it all.

She came out of the washroom, wearing the gorgeous dress with her one leg peeping from the slit, minimal makeup and accessories adoring her, looking simply breath-taking and feeling beautiful from within.

Feeling beautiful is a different feeling, one may look beautiful to others, yet not feel beautiful from within, or one may not look very pretty to others, yet feel beautiful to oneself. That was what Pallavi felt, it didn’t matter if she looked pretty or not, she felt beautiful and that was reflected in her body language.

The appreciative gaze of her husband further heightened her confidence and they walked towards each other in style.

They met each other halfway, like every time.

Raghav leaned in for a kiss mesmerized by her, awakening feelings that she never knew existed.

She wasn’t expecting, she was pleasantly surprised, not knowing what to do.

With butterflies in her stomach, she lost her balance due to the heels grabbing her husband’s shoulders. Raghav’s hands hold her securely and their eyes lock. The time freezes for them as they hold the dip and let their eyes do the talking.

The dip was gracefully done with Pallavi’s hair cascading down, her hands over his shoulder and back, Raghav’s hand on her back.

The sweet moment is broken when Pallavi utters that her zip has come undone. They settle back on their feet, slight awkwardness and tension setting in. As Pallavi turns to move to fix her dress, Raghav’s “Mai kar du?” stops her. With her back still towards Raghav, she, initially surprised by the request, nods her head in a yes and sweeps her hair to the side.

The consent was the highlight of this scene. Pallavi allowed him because she wanted to, not because Raghav is her husband or it isn’t a big deal.

Feeling her husband’s touch on her waist, she tries to see him from the corner of her eyes, soaking in the sensations.

-The essence of Pallavi's love for Raghav-

The few things noticed by our conscious mind to reach a conclusion, there are a million things which our subconscious mind notice and reach the same conclusion.

The point of saying the above point is because Pallavi in her subconscious mind had noticed million of things to come to conclusion consciously that Raghav gave her the happiness and freedom which somewhere she did not know she lacked in life.

So, when he gifted her for the first time, she was both happy and nervous.

Happy because she knew that even she was someone’s priority to get a gift and nervous because it was her first gift from her husband – Raghav as a married woman.

She was always seen as the son of the house by the Deshmukh’s.

For once she wanted to be the woman that she is and experience the emotions that one usually does in a conventional marriage.

When she wore the dress, she could see admiration and intensity in Raghav’s eyes that she always wanted to.

And then when Raghav asked her permission to get close and help her with the zip, she was overwhelmed.

Probably she was going through a plethora of emotions which is difficult to fathom in words.

Her wait when was met with an accident, she couldn’t understand how to handle.

Yet she held herself and rushed him to the hospital with a faith in her that he will not leave her, and she will not lose him. But Keerti reminding her of her bitter past was enough to put a seed of doubt.

Yet she held herself and didn’t let go, but when Raghav did not gain conscious for a long time, even though the seed of doubt intensified, she begged Raghav to not let go and hold her, because subconsciously she had fallen for him long back and the fear of losing him, led to the emotional outburst she had hugging him.

This incident was important to make her conscious mind realize love which her subconscious mind had registered ages ago and with millions of things.

-Aadha Ishq Aadha Hai, Aadha Ho Jayega-

Aadha Ishq portrays that first realisation of love when he understand someone's importance in your life. That is something what happened with Pallavi after she saw Raghav struggle for his life lying on a hospital bed. The pain that striked her heart as she saw him in blood around wires, as she juggled around to keep him alive via a few bottles of blood. Red. A color of suhaag for her aka the color of blood. Was he so important for her? Was he more than her suhaag for her? Or someone she can't imagine her life without? Or was he just a guy who had removed the white color from her life?

The moment she saw him awake wasn't something less than a breath of fresh hair for her until the same air was knocked out of her lungs when he refused to remember her. That chill which ran down her spine as the tears threatened to stay put in her eyes. How was she going to live without him? How can she even imagine her life without him? Him having no memories of her. A sense of fear washed through my body as she sat down dejected, not able to take in the darkness eloping her when a hand garbbed her out. Krishna came as her guardian angel as she made her realise the truth behind her fears. A truth that maybe she had somewhere hidden deep inside her heart.

Pallavi loves Raghav. She loves her Ghamandi Rao, the same guy she couldn't stand for a moment unaware that she's fallen for him somewhere long back. Fallen because nobody ever plans to love someone, it's always abrupt and ends up hitting you so hard out of your senses.

Those frown lines on her face are eventually replaced by the sweet smile of realisation as she walks ahead, feeling the breeze of a weught behind lifted off her chest.

"Jo aapke mann main hai. Jo aapke dil ki baat hai woh kehdo jiju se." Krishna's words are like a ringing bell inside her mind. She's never felt like this before, the essence of first love. The last time she had imagined that she'll fall in love with someone was her first husband but those moments never came because even God had planned this Ghamandi Rao for her. Someone who's gonna ginite her soul on fire and set her wings free.

As her mind wanders back to those same moments that she's somewhere cherished inside her heart, the love, the care and the support this man has showered on her gets much more overwhleming. The way he held her hand as she cut her finger, those bickerings beside the pool when it was just them or the his wierd habit of smelling her. It had all been special , the only missing piece was the fact that it took her sometime to realise it.

Namkeen si baat hai har nayi si baat mein

Teri khushboo chal rahi hai joh mere saath mein

The taste of their relationship hadn't always been sweet. It was most porbably the sourest ting she's ever tasted until it meddled out to become a mixture of everything. Their sense of smell to acknowledge each other, weird for some people but comforting for them.

Halka halka rang beete kal ka

Gehra gehra kal ho jayega, ho jayega

A color that was dull for her is being filled by his presence in her life. The first time they came accross each other, he had put a red strain on her white saree that had swiftly and gently spread across her entire form getting darker with their every moment.

We've watched her barren life getting converted into a bed of roses as he laid warm petals under her cold bruised feet with his care. Even though the petals were soft, neverthless he hadn't hidden any of his thorns from her too. And that is how she's accepted him as she imagines the flowers from the nurse's hands showering on her.

Aadha ishq aadha hai aadha ho jayega

Kadmo se milon ka waada ho jayega

Even though she knows that it's a one way street for now. It's just her side of the half that has been filled but somewhere her heart is aware of the his gaze that speaks volumes about his feels and hence she knows that the other half mile will be coevered too and they'll soon reach their destination.

Beshumaar raatein, behisaab baatein

Paas aate aate gum ho jaati hai

As she walks past the glass her heart skips a beat watching that new glow on her face. Was it alwasys there? Or was it a gift that he gave her? Whatever it was, the sky was a shade of pink now.

Bekhudi mein dhalke, bekali mein jalke

Sau hazar yaadein nam ho jaati hai

Settled in ecstasy and burnt in restlessness she is now aware of her appearance as she tries to make herself presenatble for him. A new nervousness to meet him now when her guardian angel swoops her again helping her to get ready for a new phase of her life.

Feeka feeka pal beete kal ka

Mehka mehka kal ho jayega, ho jayega

Aadha ishq ... aadha ishq ... aadha ishq

This diluted moment that they've had before is now deeping with the kohl that she's put in her eyes, the new charisma that she's bringing with her self adding the new fragrance.

Intezar sa hai, imtihan sa hai

Itminaan sa hai, kya hai na jaane

Itna nahin hai, ibtida hui hai

Inteha huyi hai kaise na jaane

The new blush that she's wearing now is an addition to the blush that his thoughts have left on her face. The butterflies making it hard to keep it intact within her heart. What is he sees the glow even before the words? What if she ends up giving everything on her face? Is he gonna like this new glow on her?

Chalka chalka pal beete kal ka

Thehra thehra kal ho jayega, ho jayega

Aadha ishq aadha hai aadha ho jayega

Kadmo se milon ka waada ho jayega

And now as she takes in a final look at herself. She can now see the new person here. It wasn't just Mrs. Pallavi Raghav Rao on paper now, rather it was Mrs. Pallavi Raghav Rao wife of Mr. Raghav Rao inscribed on her heart with a permanent ink.

-Half spoken confession -

Tell the stars it was you I hoped to dream with

Just when she realised she loved him , her heart was so full that maybe it could burst she didn't tell him soon enough

The thought excited her ,yet a twinge of sadness made its way through her mind for situation they were in .

As she made her way in his room sitting next to him

She confessed to him , with all her sincerity of the world in her eyes

She had been loved by many yet, he was the only one who fit into her puzzles of emptiness and loneliness

There were innumerable people who were happy for her yet never had she imagined she would find a person who would be happier than her , on her little wins

She didn't know how to voice it , yet she knew that this man infront of her had filled her life with happiness which never even imagined she deserved

These unknowingly deep feelings were like a bundle of rainbows , coloring her contrasting life

All through life she had dreamt of finding a person who trusted her as much as she did

Who would hold her when she fell ,who would just fight her demons for her

Who would pick up her pieces and join them until she could be a whole by herself

.Yet he was there now .

Her partner in crime , for the rest of her life

Her love for him was so seamless that she wished

If she were to ever end , it would be in his arms

.

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”

“If all else perished, and he remained,

I should still continue to be; and if all else remained,

and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.”

-Meeting Mandy again -

Raghav wanted to know who was this idiot who was always disrupting their private moments. He could not accept the fact that Mandaar, Pallavi's dead ex-husband had come back. But the inner recess of his mind knew there was such a probability, Raghav refused to acknowledge it. He was Pallavi's husband and no one. No one else. He has come across various of types of people across his industry. Ruthless, people who could kill for their benefits, some kind, users, but he didnot know why he was getting such negatives vibes from the guy he hasnt even meet till now. Maybe because he had a inkling with Pallavi, that set his suspicions off.

When he was about to enter the hospital, he noticed the ambulance that he was searching for.

Raghav interrogated the guy in his style, threatening to thrash him, asked the guy, he did come to RR Mansion the previous evening. The guy negated it and told him, that not him, his friend was driving the ambulance and he has just now left, indicating the ambulance, with tail lights flashing. Raghav rushed to his car and started to follow the guy, intending to get the truth from at any costs. He should prove it to Pallavi this guy was no Mandaar, just a phony, intended to bring storm in their lives.

When Raghav followed the guy, he did not seem to be stopping even when took his car in front of his ambulance too. When the ambulance had stopped at a strange place, with the driver missing, Raghav took out his gun prepared to deal with extraneous circumstances.

He ran around, pointing his gun and trying to find the missing guy, when suddenly everything blacked out. He regained his senses quickly, started to hide to catch the guy unawares. When he did, they both started fighting, with Raghav landing as many punches as he could.

------------------------------------

Pallavi had agreed to go with the doctor to find out the details of the guy whom she was almost sure was Mandaar. Her mind was also in deliberations, not knowing which to believe. Now that she had seen him in their home, she was sure her mind was not cooking up stories.

When Pallavi turned her eyes to the window of the car, she was shocked. There was Raghav, involved in a brawl with someone. She hastily asked the doctor to stop the vehicle and went there running.

Pallavi called out Raghav's name, came to him. She saw the person in front of her turning. Even though she had seen two times before this, the shock to the system was like a gut- punch.

Pallavi simply couldn't comprehend the sight before her. She felt as if her eyes were playing tricks with her. Shocked would be an understatement to explain her emotions. How could she justify the sight in front of her eyes? The man, Mandaar, her presumed dead ex-husband.

Pallavi was in a out-of-body experience, called out his name. Mandaar. The same dazed expression was reflected on the man's face.

Raghav couldn't understand what was going on. His mind was conjuring up flashbacks of him admitting the guy in hospital, while he looked at Pallavi's face, her eyes seemed to fixed on the person in her line of sight, astonishment clear as day.

----------------

The doctor asked Mandaar what was he doing there, he recounted that Raghav was following him, and started thrashing him. Raghav rudely interrupted him saying that he was Raghav Rao, he was searching for Mandaar , and he was following that guy. Pallavi was bewildered at this, and asked Raghav, was he too searching for Mandaar?

Raghav nodded in the affirmative, and asked what was she doing there? When she said she was also looking for Mandaar, Raghav felt hurt. She did not bother to tell him what she was doing. Was this is the amount of trust she had in him. The questions he wanted to ask, where clear in his eyes. Pallavi felt guilty. The doctor insisted that they higo to her clinic to clear up the questions that were arising in all of their minds.

Pallavi kept staring at the person in front of her. She simply could not reconcile with the fact, the person she had assumed dead, whose last rites were completed in front of her eyes. A million other things were running in her mind, about her Aayi-Baba, her future with Raghav. It seemed like her mind was filled up, thoughts and emotions fighting for dominance.

-CONFESSION-

They returned home from that awful confrontation at Deshmush House. Frustration and desperation were rolling off in waves from both of them. This was apparent from his actions when he pushed open the door like it was an object waiting for decimation, with Pallavi following close behind on his heels. One look at her, he could feel the desperation that he was feeling, reflecting back at him in her eyes.

Pallavi was feeling like her knees would give out soon and sat down on the bed. Both of them were waiting for each other to address the situation at hand. She could feel his stare. But after few moments that felt like years, Pallavi had had enough of this prevailing awkward silence which was not there even when they were enemies.

She hurriedly searched through the wardrobe, drawer and finally the closet by the bed. Raghav was confused and asked, what was she searching for. Pallavi did not answer him immediately but found her treasure, the wedding photoframe

Pallavi: "Yeh photo aachi na Raghav, hum na yehi diwaar par laga dete hain". On not finding the nail, she frantically asked who had removed the nail from the wall.

Raghav with the same desperation said, "Haan, humari shaadi ki bahuth saari photos hain, usko bhi frame karke lagalenge".

Pallavi: "Haan, hum na kaal hi hum ek wedding shoot karalenge, phir poori kamre mein hum dono ki hi photo hogi. Hum dono husband wife hain, hum dono ki photo honi chahiye na, important hai."

Raghav while holding her, "Exactly, yeh bohot important hai, tum mera wife aur mein tumhara husband."

It seemed Pallavi was fervent to confirm, said "Tum mere husband ho aur mein tumhari wife. Hum dono ka rishta hai. Aur yeh baat toh sabko photo dekkar pata chalni chahiye na."

Raghav immediately seconded her statement. It was like they were reassuring themselves of their importance in each other's life.

Amma came in to hear the conversation going on between them. She had an idea how her beloved son would react and had come there to give them both a little insight. When Amma approached, and took the photo frame gently from Pallavi's hand, both were a little stunned and confused by her actions. Both were a little hesistant when Amma said she wanted to talk to both of them. Amma insisted and told them to sit.

Amma told them she knew that they were stressed because of Mandaar, and Raghav immediately interrupted her saying that they weren't and he was insignificant and they were alright. Amma was unsettled while Pallavi was like Agar yeh phir se badak gaya toh. Amma asked him to settle down and continued. She said she knew they were in difficult circumstances and it was not easy for them to fight it. She further explained that in marriage, troubles were more than the happiness, that imperfections were the base to a perfect relationship.

She cited an example of earthquake and told them how the open ground of their relationship should be their togetherness, and both the partners should trust each other than themselves and be supportive of each other. And if that happened, their relationship would be a life jacket which could save them in times of difficulty. She said it was vital that they needed to be together to fight the problem and should not let go of each other at any costs. "Aur Phir ek saath, milkar, uss problem ko punch maarna hai".

Pallavi and Raghav were looking at each other trying to understand what the other was thinking, and silently vowing to do as Amma said. Amma was glad that her advice had made an effect on them, was confident they were strong enough to wade through all problems successfully.

Pallavi held Raghav's hand and told him that she was feeling fearful and perturbed. He was about to ask the reason, when she interrupted him saying that no amount of perturbation or fear could change the fact that she was his wife now.

He was her future and not only in her life but her every requirement. That she couldn't be apart from him, not even for herself. She told him how she had taught marriage was end-game but how he had made her understand that understanding each other's soul was true companionship. That how even she could feel wanted and special for someone. For him.

When she was about to continue, Raghav interrupted and told her she has taught him the meaning of love, and because of which he was alive. With emotioms brimming in his eyes and voice, he told her how his entire existence seemed worthless until she had come. She had sprinkled life to his being with her presence. That she made him bloom, like a sunflower at the sight of the bright sun.

His eyes conveyed the love and truth behind his words.

Raghav: "I just want to tell you that, I love you, Pallavi."

Hearing him confess made her heart skip several beats. She felt it was too full, ready to burst. That was the euphoria that came with his words. She had wanted to say these words to him, confess her love, but the elation she felt when he confessed, yes he did feel the same love for her, was unparalleled. It was not that she could not understand his emotions without him saying it, or sense the love for her in his actions, it was just that, the words did something that nothing else could do.

Raghav could see the love, shining bright, in her eyes for him. She was the person who could bring him out of this perpetual darkness and into the warmth. He felt her love encompass his whole being.

With all the love that she could muster, she returned his sentiment.

Pallavi: "I love you too, Raghav."

Raghav could not believe his ears. It felt as if he was in the seventh heaven. Everyone feared and respected Raghav Rao. But no one had tried to make an effort to know the Raghav, who was hidden behind his erected walls of his heart besides Farhad or his Amma. He was always fascinated with Pallavi's charm, aura and boldness. She was the only one who had dared to stand against him, to question him. How did she manage to get past all the walls, he did not know. But he felt delighted that he was worth and deserving of her love and care.

Raghav took her in a bone crushing hug. It was as if he was trying to absorb her whole into his being and this was the closest they could be physically. She hugged him even tighter, leaning to him. He kissed her delicate neck, inhaling her warmth and fragrance into his being. Yes, indeed, he was not conjuring it up, she was with him, in his arms. Raghav felt his emotions going into overdrive. For a man starving in the desert, this was like a ocean. He felt himself drowning, but knew she could save him from everything, including himself. She had surrendered herself to him, mind, soul and body. She was the mistress of his heart, and he her King.

Pallavi has always exuded royal vibes while walking those stairs, but today she elicited the glow of a young girl in love more than sending queen vibes (which she is, without a doubt)

Pallavi was excitedly climbing down the stairs of the same house she had been reluctant to enter a few months before, towards the same guy who'd been her sworn enemy but was now a reason for her to breathe, to whom she had confessed her love hardly a few hours ago.

She took in sight of her husband, dressed in her culture's attire, celebrating their love declaration in her traditional style , demonstrating his love for her and his acceptance of her culture and ofc doesn’t forget to praise his looks and efforts

Her delight, modesty, gratitude, and subtle amazement at getting so much affection, which she had assumed she would never experience, are all palpable here.

Pikachu Pallu declared her love for Ghamandi Rao and celebrated it grandly in Marathi Mulgi look

until BAKE intervened ofcourse

But even after BAKE’s interruption, couple resolve their issues , calm each other down and concluded their celebration on positive note

- “Raat Khatam, Baat Khatam.”

✨ If I know what love is ,

it is because of you ✨

“Tum sach mein bohot sudhar gae ho"

What started off as a responsibility on her young shoulders in absence of any working member slowly became her passion.

Alas she never got any appreciation for her work.

Then entered Raghav Rao in her life who left no stone unturned to challenge her, trouble her, she had to work tirelessly to make ends meet but her trouble didn't stop there. He forcefully married her by blackmailing on the name of her brother.

She has seen his ruthless, scary side,she has been through living nightmares, she has seen her family break apart, lost their trust, faced accusations, lost her dignity and was finally made a trophy wife in the name of deal.

But soon after realising his mistakes he did everything on his part to make her life beautiful, he valued her and respected her as an individual. He has always acknowledged her talent, has set her free from all responsibilities and given her wings to fly.

Everything he did made her realise that yes he is the one who truly cared just for her not for Pallavi Deshmukh not for Pallavi Raghav Rao just for PALLAVI

So yes in her eyes he has truly and finally changed for best??

"Mere liye pyaar ka definition tum hai Pallavi"

Someone who was her biggest enemy at a time, whom she used to hate with every cell in her body and had full certainty that feelings were mutual, is now confessing at this very moment that for him love definition equates to her.

Her heart is so full of love and compassion for this human being. The tenderness of his love has made her feel warm and giddy.

She cannot help but feel blessed and show gratitude by thanking her stars for sending someone who loves her without any obligations.

She has butterflies in her stomach after seeing the ring,the same person who was forcefully making her wear a 2000 note ring just to show fake respect to the deal in the past has now brought a ring to show his love by making it hang in her finger.

With this ring he has given his heart to her and promise that from this day onwards she will not have to walk alone. Someone is going to be there to protect and shelter her from all the hardships and adversities. It is a symbol of his love, their love, their togetherness.

Being so overwhelmed with all emotions she has experienced and not having enough words to express, she used the purest gesture of love- a forehead kiss to assure him that yes she is always there for him, she will always love him will all her heart, she respects him and won't be going anywhere.

"True love is when someone accepts your past, supports your present, love you and encourages your future"

And she has found her true love.??

-The photoshoot -

You , me and a little bit of forever

She was woman who was clad in white once , the brand of white which burnt her soul so deep that the grey ashes of her loss colored her skies .

She berated her fate but her little heart sent fervent prayers for a miracle every now and then

And they were answered at last

He was her miracle

The man had painted her life red with his love , which made her shine through from within

Not long go , she had just very casually dropped the talk about a wedding photoshoot

But this man , made her dream come true

Could he see what it was to her ?

How could she, ever in the wildest of her dreams think that

He would go all out and out and buy her clothes and jewellery of his choice , only for her

To dress up as his bride ,

the bride of a man whom she loved with all her heart

She walked out arbitrarily trying to get her hair to dry in haste when she looked in

The mirror only to be looked back by his piercing black eyes

It tugged her heart that his eyes admired her

The admiration of how a woman would want to be looked at

As he caressed her hair and held her in his arms looking at the mirror

Her jaw dropped

The picture in the mirror was ethereal

His arms cocooning her in his warmth

As her eyes captured the reflection in the mirror

If there was moment she could relive again and again it was this ,

everyday for the rest of her life

As he made her sit and put her the adornments one by one

The love in her heart couldn't hold up at how he bedecked her

So gently yet so adoringly every moment , every minute closer

To being his bride , for life

His light touches on her ears , the smile making the curve on his face

His hands slowly putting on the ring on her finger

He was indeed her miracle to her and she was all red in his love

She was startled to say the least when this man

Sat in front of her holding her hands in his and picking up the cone

Her heart screamed "Pinch me god if this is was any dream !,"

She was stunned that it wasn't

Her Raghav ,only hers was etching his name on her hands in henna

The mehendi color was seeping deep into her hands and

coloring her soul with his name with every letter he wrote

Her heart was brimming

She couldn't hold it in anymore

That she could ever be worthy of a love like this

A love which drained all her sorrows

And left her heart only full of him

The tears made way through her eyes only be wiped away by his gentle fingers and reassuring eyes

The next few hours were a daze she wanted on a loop forever

As they clicked , smiled and laughed together

Capturing moments lesser on the camera , more in their hearts

Her heart in those moments knew

she was home ,for eternity .

-Bekhayaali-

She was hurt , the hurt was bearable but staying away from him wasn't

Every moment with him seemed like a lifetime worth of happiness in a second and every moment away from him was longer than decade

She missed his eyes which shone when she was around , she missed his smile which made her forget why she was angry in the first place

Just then Suddenly her phone rang with his name ,

a name which was her existence now

Her Raghav

Her fingers picked the call in a desperation unknown to them as she heard him whisper her name

Every sound of her name eased her into a calmness which she was seeking since morning

His voice sounded broken and that was breaking her

He continued to apologise , confessing his insecurities making her feel hurt for not being there holding him

She knew him , better than he knew himself

She understood him

She understood that he was holding on to her and in the process had messed up

And she knew her man , he would accept it , repent it and make up for it , come what may

And that's what she loved about him

The moment he mentioned about how hard it was for him ,

an ache in her heart knew how dark it must be

how he must be berating himself every second in pain and hurt

He whispered to her that he wished she would come back to their home sooner

Their home - the words meant soo much to both of them, they knew

They had built this together after a thousands fights and innumerable instances of standing against the world - it was theirs

The words invoked a rush of emotions and all she wanted to do at that moment was to run into his arms and cry her heart out

His voice still on the call was her only solace in the world, which wasn't leaving any stones unturned to make it harder for as she remembered her promise she made a while ago to her baba

She heard him say "Saas nahi le paaraha " and she was on the edge of confessing how even she couldn't breathe without him , it was just too painful so far away from him

It wasn't until he kept the call telling her to take care that she realised the solace the few seconds of the call had given her

As the solace swept away ,

The pain was too much to bear

And she fell to the floor crying

Crying to be in his arms once again , sooner

Manglagaur

Pallavi I think is in an awkward state on this day. She was upset at Raghav, and rightfully so, and had left her home at her father’s request to be at D house. At the same time, she didn’t truly want to be away from him. Even in anger, all she wants is to be at RR mansion, with him, in the same vicinity.

Come Manglagaur, and it’s the first time she’s seeing her husband after their fight. There are so many emotions still running through her at this point. Disappointment that they had to celebrate Manglagaur like this, sadness from being away from him, as short as that time was, anticipation at seeing him after being kept away at this point, being unsure of how to reconcile with her husband, the bliss of seeing him because his presence is her solace.

It’s a lot to take in for her, & she’s already dealing with so much from her maayka as it is.

She sees him and at first its sheer happiness that he’s there and then she hesitates. How does she approach him? What does she say? He was still wrong to do what he did, but also she has now gotten herself into a pickle of a situation as well.

And then he approaches her first, signaling that all he cares about is seeing her, being with her. That bygones are now bygones. His approach towards her gave her the confidence to fully relax in his presence. Now she can relish in him being there, she can lean on him for support, comfort, solace. All the things she was longing for in their short separation, she got within the first few seconds of seeing him again.

And then the kheer scene, she’s so happy to indulge in her husband’s whims. What makes him happy, makes her happy.

And then comes the scene where she eats the kheer and starts getting dizzy. In her weakest moments she calls out for her husband to support her, to lean on bc he’s always done that for her. He's been there when she needed him and in her weakest moments, all she wants is him and his presence.

After all the drama that happened, she now wakes up to see her husband gone. Once again she’s alone with D fam and I think she got triggered. Her trauma as an orphan - her own abandonment issues are now coming to the surface. She gets angry, upset at him - how could he leave her alone ? How could he abandon her when she needed him ? Where was the support and love that she saw yesterday? Why didn’t he take her with him? I think those abandonment feelings led her to react in anger to the fact that Raghav wasn’t there when she woke up. It shows how she no longer considers D fam her true home.

Numb

Pallavi, who has been trying to put on a brave face since Mandaar returned, finally breaks down when she is not able to reach Raghav who is standing right across the door. All her fears come to a realisation when she witnesses the hurt Raghav is going through. All through this fiasco, she has believed that their relationship will successfully tread through the testing times. She has been so sure that insecurity can’t creep in between them that she doesn’t realise when it does. The extent of harm it has caused them scares her, she is scared to lose him. At the same time she’s hurt that Raghav doesn’t believe her enough. The fear is all too real- because she can’t think of a life without him now. She wants to save him for herself, save them, she wants to reach out to him desperately and make everything right before the damage is irreversible.

But she can’t. And that’s when the helplessness creeps in.

She feels bound by the family, relationships and promises. She feels caged. Caged, she is- physically, as well as mentally. This girl who has only dreamed of a family since childhood, finally found one in Deshmukhs . And she can’t bring herself to give up on them because she has known what it’s like when you don’t have one. She also feels obliged- they gave her a home and that meant the world to her. But in order to pay back, she has always had to place them before her own self. Which she always did, without complaining -not a drop of tear shed.

But this time the stakes are too high.

It’s about the person she loves with whole her heart, whom she can’t see hurting. This one time she wants something for herself- that’s a first for her. But she’s being constantly made to feel guilty about it.

It has been too much now. In the moment it feels like she can’t take it anymore - she feels numb.

Because caged is not something she can do with. She was born to fly. And now she needs an escape.

Reunion - VOWS

It was as if Raghav Rao was in a trance. He was alive but feeling dead. His emotions were all over the place, scattered, like sand in an sandstorm. It felt like a vital piece of him was missing. His eyes reflected the storm in his heart. When Amma insisted him to eat, he didnot feel like doing so. Then a voice reassured him everything would be alright. It was Sharadha Aayi along with Pallavi. The moment she came in view, it seemed as if he was complete. Yes, emotions were still scattered, but soul was complete.

Aayi patiently explained the incidents that had transpired the night before. Pallavi gave inputs about how she wasn't intentionally late, and genuinely Mandaar's hand was burnt and about Mangal gaur events. Aayi advised Raghav to have faith on his love and relationship. She told him she has cut-off all ties and has come to leave her in her home, RR Mansion, said all promises were insignificant in front of their relationship. She assured Jaya that Pallavi was theirs, and she wouldnot need to take on D-house responsibilities anymore. During this, two souls were struggling to express their emotions, but what words could never convey, their eyes made it apparent.

The minute I heard my first love story,

I started looking for you, not knowing

how blind that was.

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.

They’re in each other all along.

Raghav never felt hesistant to enter the room in her presence, but today he felt the need to knock. It was as if he was asking her permission to enter her heart, despite all the misunderstandings between them.

Both were experiencing a myriad of emotions: Peace of togetherness, anger, hurt, but the most dominant one was love.

When they were drowning in a sea of misunderstandings, their love and trust for one another had proven to be the life jacket. Their love was pure like the driven snow, but it was new. Some words, some reassurances, actions were necessary for it to keep blooming.

They were Raghav and Pallavi. How could solve an issue without their trademark nok-jhok? When he remarked that everything was alright in between them, she said it was because of Aayi, and not God, they were together. If not, he would have let things be as they were, presumptions forming cracks in their relationship, wouldn't he?

Raghav told her yes, he was so hurt because of her actions that he couldn't express in words . Repetence and regret shone in her eyes. She admitted that, indeed, she had gone overboard, had forgotten her love, while doing her duty. But this was never her intention, she assured him.

"Mandaar meri zindagi ka sirf ek kissa hai, lekin tum, Tum meri zindagi ki kahani ho. Kisse khatam hua karte hain, kahani nahi" .

They said Eyes were the windows to soul. In their eyes love shone for each other, the other looked on entranced.

Pallavi broke the stare, told him, hurt reflecting in her voice, that how, he Raghav could let misunderstandings fester. He himself had assured that "Raat gayi, baat gayi", then how could he forget his promise.

Raghav recollected all the incidents that has transpired, and told her that he didn't forget anything, but they didnot get time for themselves, or to have a communication. Lack of focus, communication were the reason for all these misunderstandings and when he started to continue about Mandaar was being suspicious, coincidences that kept them apart, about the Mangalgaur day, wasn't all this strange?

When he said this all to her, she didnot want to discuss about Mandaar today, frankly nor about anyone. She knew they were treading through troubled waters, and didnot want them to fight again. She wanted to be in his arms, his warmth, basking in his love.

She laid a possesive finger on his lips, stopping him from containing the conversion.

She wanted them to discuss, them and their relationship. She told him that and quite seriously asked him to make a note of it. While Raghav wondered what she was doing, she found a notepad to express her love through words.

Mere hal pal mein sirf tum ho Raghav

Pallavi ki shuruaat bhi Raghav hai, aur anth bhi Raghav

Beech mein na kisi ki zaroorat hai, aur na hi koi jagah

Tum woh khwob ho Raghav, jiss khwab mein kabhi bahar naahi aana chhathi.

The words were seemingly from her lips, but he felt as if her soul itself was whispering these words to him. Like gentle waves on a calm sea, her words seemed to sooth all his insecurities, hurt and doubts he may have had, like a balm. Love and affection were the twin diamonds shining radiantly in her eyes. He could feel as if his emotions were reflected by her, she was like his mirror image. Her words were the light that could erase the darkness surrounding him.

He reciprocated her love by gently taking the notepad from her hands and said,

Pallavi, tum jis khwab mein rahne chahthi ho, mein bhi ussi khwab mein rehna chahthi hoon.

Raghav ke saath Pallavi nahi, toh Raghav bhi Raghav nahi.

Isliye promise karo mereko, tum kabhi bhi mere saath nahi chodega.

Pakka waala promise, kabhi nahi chodungi.

With these words, it seemed both their souls had become one. They were two parts of the same coin. If one was hurricane, the other was calm wind. If one was anger, the other peace. If one was irrational, the other rationality. They balanced each other like water and fire.

They were a force to be reckoned with when they were together.

Pallavi while holding his hand, kept the finger on her lips, indicating their sign for I love you.

Enraptured, he also matched her by keeping his hands on his lips, saying I love you.

I love you neither from your heart, nor my mind. I love you with my soul, because my heart may stop, my mind may forget, but my soul neither stops or forgets.

Their symbolisation seemed more potent than words.

Gym Scene

This is the scene after Pallavi is dropped by Sharda at RR Mansion. Pallavi has this remarkable quality of holding the family together with her love and compassion. In the very earlier episodes we see that Pallavi is the thread that keeps the deshmukhs together - be it organizing the loom pooja or coordinating everything for Mansi's wedding. The main reason is Pallavi being an orphan always craved for a family to call her own. Deshmukhs never deserved her love and compassion and that is why Vijay Deshmukh did not flinch even a second before throwing Pallavi out of the house in the middle of the night.

Rao family on the other hand love Pallavi and know the value of her. Jaya admires Pallavi for the strong person she is and after Pallavi helps Jaya to forgive and reconcile with Raghav, the family is complete with Pallavi being the thread that weaves everyone together. Even though Pallavi was away only for 3 - 4 days the whole house was in disarray and the happiness was lost. When Pallavi comes back you see the whole mansion being lit in bright light and Raghav again working out in his home gym with gusto.

It is such a small domestic scene on the surface - of a wife getting her husband his morning black coffee and going over the morning chores. But when you look at it closely you see what Pallavi is for the house - She is the anchor that holds the house, she is the boss lady without whom everyone feels lost especially her husband Raghav. Like Raghav says Pallavi is the happiness drug for him - His smile, his happiness is directly related to Pallavi being in front of him. The cheesy flirty dialogues show the increasing physical attraction between the lovers. As a husband, Raghav loves to flirt with his love and he just loves admiring his cute wife being all flustered and bossing him around. Like Raghav says - He feels complete.

As a viewer of this show, I too feel a sense of happiness to see these 2 scarred individuals becoming soulmates and looking forward to being together. The graph of the relationship has been sketched really well - from understanding each other’s strengths to understanding each other’s weakness to what makes them click. The title song lyrics suit them to the T in this scene.

Tere dil ke us parindey ko Vo aasmaan mil jaaye

Jo leke udd jaaye tujhko Aur khud me le samaaye

Aisi ho ek kahani Jisme raja aur rani

Aakhir mil jaaye aur ho jaaye Ek duje ke sang.

Like the lyrics suggest Pallavi the exotic bird found the open skies in Raghav and is flying high thereby coloring Raghav’s life with her fragrance.

Kitchen Scene

-let's runaway afar just you and me -

Pallavi Raghav Rao

She heard him tell , the way he said her name with so much pride warmed her insides every single time

Who wouldn't love being called by their husbands names if their husband was as loving as Raghav

While frying vadas , she heard him talk and his eyes trying to grab her attention . She loved this man with all her heart but his antics of trying to make sure she has eyes only for him - made her fall in love a little more if possible

She looked at him holding the globe and asking her to choose a country

" What for "

For their honeymoon he answered

A slight blush and butterflies rose up in her .

The thought of being closer to him made her excited yet nervous .

He mentioned tomorrow and her brain went fuzzy thinking how could she manage so soon

She wanted to celebrate ayi's birthday and then she could happily be off from the city for long

Somewhere she was longing to be away from the noise , from errands ,from burdens and fly away with him somewhere far where only they existed , together

Just sitting in silence , wrapped around each other - bliss

As he agreed and slowly started caressing her forehead maybe of the flour she had unknowingly managed to get ,while cooking

She could see him craving for the same dreams that her eyes held

He and she crashing together , so naturally

Like the sea aginst the shore

Whispering promises to each other

Their eyes wanting the other more and more

Suddenly she felt her cheeks alight with his lips like dew on a freckled petal , so soft making a slight blush creep on her face

As he made his way back from the kitchen , she suddenly caught her breath the moment he winked at her .

Did he just openly flirt with her ?

Her answers found their way as his eyes were still on her all the while as he whistled and a boyish grin plastered on his face

Her heart strings couldn't stop strumming with the new found emotions her husband had ignited in her .

She couldn't help but smile again and again replaying how he had just subtly shown a glimpse of what was yet to come .

Ayi's accident

Ayi and Ayi ki Pallu – a bond so sacred, so strong and so pure, seems like the almighty made up for taking away her birth parents from her. She IS her ‘’maikaa aka maternal home’’ .That day she was feeling anxious since morning as if something bad is about to happen. Amma noticed and so did Raghav as she looked lost and tensed during their routine breakfast time. They say it’s a telepathic connection people have with the ones they have a soul connection with.

When she got the call from Kaka informing her about Ayi’s accident, she stood there speechless shaking uncontrollably. Imagine the shock and horror of hearing something terrible like that happen to the person you love so much. One immediately gets all kinds of fearful thoughts that we try so hard to not think about. Just the other day they were talking about postponing their honeymoon trip because Ayi's birthday was round the corner and now this? Thank goodness Raghav was right there to comfort and support her. They reached the hospital and after hearing what happened with her, the first thing she asked was ‘’What was Ayi doing on the terrace? She never goes to the terrace because of her knee problem’’ There was something wrong, something fishy that she could just feel in her bones but could not point a finger at.

Pallavi did her best given the circumstance; consoled everyone even Vijay though she was as shocked and scared. Raghav also rose upto the occasion as one would expect and assured every assistance possible. I loved how he supported her throughout this whole thing, not only because of Pallavi but because of the special connection he shares with Ayi as well. She is his Ayi too!

The family was in shock. But RaghVi's presence gave them a lot of strength and hope that things will be taken care of and that Sharada will be given the best possible treatment. I remember the time they all entered the room Ayi was in. I can imagine how hard it must've been for her to look at her Ayi, her superwoman lying there covered in bandage, lifeless like a corpse. She put up a brave face and promised her that everything will be ok. Ayi would be fine and then suddenly her breathing would go erratic which would scare the hell out of everyone. Mandhar's presence was making me anxious and I so wished someone would notice Ayi getting tensed every time he was in the room.

Pallavi's breakdown was so heart wrenching. It was unfortunate that things turned out the way they did but the one positive thing that came out of it was that she woke up to her senses. She refused to believe that it was accident. Ayi was in no position to communicate but she came up with a way to get some vital information from her through their secret eye talk. She got to know that it was an attempted murder and that she was pushed from the terrace by a family member. Sherlock Holmes ki nani was back in action and soon she zeroed in upon the culprit Mandhar. It was the most important turn of events in the current scheme of things. We got our smart, fighter Pallavi back.

Discovering Mandy- the murderer

From the instance Mandar has entered the show, I have hated him. First I was sympathetic, because I used to feel bad that he lost his memory and family and even his wife because of his accident commited by Sunny and Kirti. And then slowly i became suspicious as his indubious nature started to come to light. His actions and his words became more loathing and abstruse. It was hardly a puzzle anymore as slowly it became apparent that he was but an evil guy.

The day he closed in on Pallavi and grabbed her and started to pour out, it was like a mad man was trying to impress a woman with his criminal history, trying to show how passionate he was for her. However infact what he ended up doing was to make her scared. How beautifully she was able to hide her shock with mock wonderment.... It was marvelous. I guess anybody( victim) might to the same to survive. That was bloody brilliant. She was natural to the end...

She listened to him, and made him believe that she was quite impressed by his obsessive nature and love for her, however I felt that he thought it suspicious, but then took her at the face value. I guess this scene was amazingly done, they decided to put the naturality to it and they succeeded massively! That scene made us all hate him so much but more than hate I guess we felt scared for her and could easily feel her helplessness.

Such things even happen today, it's nothing new, this obsession; so called lovers throw acid and even Rape the women when they don't get what they want by will. Force is what is considered more manly, anyways here we see a glimpse of it in Mandar.

The way he confessed that how he became mad seeing her on the matrimonial and so much that he started to stalk her and even ended up killing her bestie just because she knew...! My god! That was really something.....

Anyways, thankyou for giving me an opportunity to say few words, we all love Pallavi and the whole team! They are best!!!!!!!!!
