Touch Touche
I will take on from where I left off. Perspectives. That is to see things beyond what meets the eyes on the first instance.
There is a post that I would also want to bring back to discussion that I wrote for the episode where V was shot and P hugged him when he was unconscious. Touch and boundaries.
Touch has it's pwn language, and everyone has their own boundaries created when it comes to physical touch with each person. Some may have a larger, some have a more intimate circle for people around them. But it also brings me to the discussion on how people understand and respond to emotions. For some it is touch, others words, then there are other gestures.
What struck me first was V pushing Sai to make his way into the house. And just before that Sai had gone soft that she had accidentally hurt V. When the precap of this scene had come up, I had this brought this up with a few of few. It has to be dream. Because V cannot physically hurt Sai. And this is the second time in a row after the Bus Stand scene. We have spoken about this, V sees Sai's physical pain, because that is what is evident to him. She hides her emotional ones and he is unable to read them till she vocalises them.
So how is it that he pushed her deliberately while Sai was concerned when V's hand got hurt.
That was off.
He apologised to her. But what did he apologise for. I guess he did for a a lot of things he didn’t mention. Only what he was able to reveal yet. He was upset with Sai for keeping Savi away, but his initial anger has subsided. And he has probably taken a detour from his OG plan because now he knows that how much Sai and Savi are affected.
The second scene was when V locks the door with Sai outside. Again, here Sai is very vocal. Her desperation and pain very evident. How can V ignore that? How was he ok with a howling outside the room, and then start some music to submerge her cries. To not distract him and his daughter's moments. Heartless right.
Now what if he did that because he couldn’t bear to hear her cry but could not afford to give in either. Just yet. And he played that music and increased the volume not for Savi, but for himself. So that he can hold strong and not break at seeing Sai like that? It is also difficult to keep that face in front of her.
Sai is always cognisant of his marital status. P being his wife. So when he demands time with his daughter, she wants P's buy in as well.
Interestingly, V is surprised at the mention that P is his wife and she needs to be consulted for matters concerning Sai-V-Savi. P seemed like an outsider and Sai-V-Savi a family. For Sai, P is V's wife, hence needs to be involved in such decisions. Sai asks P for her approval, but V takes over, denying P any rights in their matters. Who is the family here?
The final give away today - The hand clasp. He asked for a promise and she was not willing. She understands the complications it can create and she does not want any such thing. But V is adamant.
Now see how the scene plays out. V stretches out his hand (his way of assurance- touch) for a promise. Even when Sai had said that he should not touch her. Was he getting back at her. While he forced her indirectly. but she did place her hand herself🤣
Sai promises first ignoring his stretched hand. But V refuses to pull back and Sai reluctantly places her hand in his. She is not looking at him. Because she senses no feelings from his side. It is his regular business - Vaada.
But see how a small smile creaks out on V's face. And if we have any left over doubts that he is only relieved because of Savi, then we need to check what he does next. He clasps her hand in his. Why not remove you hand rather than holding on and with his eyes stuck on her. Like he was trying to say something while she was looking away. A promise like this did not demand that. But a husband/lover was only rejoicing in these small wins.
Precap - I do see V going back to reassuring P like the many times. But he is reaching his brink with how situation has turned. He too is getting impatient to get his family together. And P is showing up her insecurities which is ticking him off.
