Atif bhau & co. gimme a break . *gasps for air * Waves of disappointment drowning me.
As much as today's episode was an absolute meh, my heart broke for Imlie today.
Aryan's advice however useful it may be.. just sounded hollow to me.
It's like a teacher telling a kid "I am gonna hit you. You have the choice. You can set the T & Cs. But I am gonna hit you." It doesn't matter if this is gonna beneficial to the kid in the long run, but the fact is she is going to feel pain...for no reason of hers. (In Imlie's head, this is between both the As..so why is she suffering)
I so wished that it was Aryan who put forth the fake marriage condition..you know just to appease her.
I had mentioned this a couple of days back.. For Imlie, the relationship with Adi has broken. This, she has repeatedly said. But she hasn't processed..what next? When Adi proposed marriage, she was in a tight spot. Do I forgive him/ do I give him a chance/ do I move on? As much as she wanted the Malini PF, she didn't do it so Adi comes back. She wanted to prove herself right. I don't think she expected Adi crawling back the next moment...
Her hesitation today..I saw it more like..what would 'my family' think of me? It isn't the matter of self respect at this point, it is more of 'what if I fail in protecting them? Will they still love me? Am I a disappointment to them '
And this is why , Imlie categorises people as white or black. The grey terrifies her. She saw a different side to her friend/mentor..and she found herself at the losing end. Even with Adi, a different side was shown in contrast to what she expected, she lost there too. Back in PD, it was her own villagers.. that showed a different face..she lost there too. The same with Malini..
It's funny..since she keeps Meethi in the loop, why didn't she consult with her mum? Why take such a decision?
Noone has asked her..tu kya chahti hai..She hasn't asked that herself. Then how is she expected to help herself? It isn't a simple matter of absorbing Aryan's teachings and implementing them. She has all the answers..she is still deciding which answer is to which question.
