A storm is coming, a storm is coming, a storm is coming... (in Udaipur)
Why do I feel like Chicken Little? 🤣 (even though this time it is true a storm is coming)
I finally caught up with the episodes and some of the discussion posts. I think almost everything has been discussed. I am a little late to the party 😆 I'll just put my views in brief.
First the bad - Manjari and Arohi
Manjari really loved Akshu like a daughter? 🤣 (To me despite sometimes leaving her alone...I think Bade Papa and Kairav are the only two people in the families besides Abhi that actually love Akshu) Since when has
Manjari treated her like her own? 🤪 She wanted her to always compromise because she was the most sensible one. And when it came to her own mistakes like Neil's adoption qtruth she turned on Akshu within minutes. Nah, sorry that's not a parent I want. Even when Bade Papa and Kairav are angry at Akshu I still feel the love there.
What happened to Neil was sad. Yes, it has affected Manjari, Arohi, Roohi, and Abhi. They lost time with a love one. But that doesn't mean every waking minute has to be about what could have been. Cherish the memories you have and continue to live your life because life stops for no one. Roohi may not have a father but she has a mother, a uncle that loves her so much and takes care of her, a grandmother, a grandfather, and other family relations with Anand and Mahima's family. So she isn't alone. People can grow up without a biological dad and be well adjusted individuals in society. Arohi has made her choice to remain single. That is her choice. Respect that choice Manjari!
As for Abhi, his life line is Akshu. He stopped "living" because she left. But he is the one who let her go and divorced her. So what exactly did Manjari want Akshu to do? Manjari still holds her responsible for Neil's death no way she would have allowed Akshu to stay in the house. Or is she that big of a happy family illusionist that she would be like well she should stay in this house and we can all pretend to be one big happy family? Even though I openly hate her as she who took my step son away. And never mind that Arohi is widowed and may hold a deeper grudge against Akshu. But even then I would never back Akshu up in any argument even if Arohi is in the wrong because I must overly compensate for her trauma of losing a husband and having to "raise" Roohi on her own 🤔 And never mind that Abhi may be upset and throw a cold shoulder at Akshu for years. Like that is a special kind of messed up🤪 Manjari never understood her son. She only connects with the emotional aspects but she can't see beyond shaddi as an answer and bend and accommodate so we can pretend we are happy family 😡 The only person who understood his thoughts were Harshvardhan. Then comes Bade Papa and then Akshu.
Arohi like we thought because Akshu is far away she doesn't care. The minute Akshu returns she will be plotting with Manjari to do this and that and 100% we will be using Roohi to get Abhi to bend to what they want 
Second - the dysfunctional Goenkas
I kind of see where both Bade Papa and Kairav are coming from. Bade Papa at the very least has come to visit Akshu and has remained respectful of her wishes to stay away. He understands both Akshu and Abhi's pain. And for him he's resigned himself to the fact that maybe they shouldn't be together since they cause each other such pain. The situation they are in is very difficult.
Kairav feels abandon because Akshu didn't trust her family enough to lean on them. (why do I feel like this is the writers answer to the audience complaining why the Goenkas did not visit Akshu or help her for these past 6 years) She heard what Bade Papa said and assumed that all the Goenkas felt that way. But what exactly would Kairav really have done? He's always caught in between his sisters. Would he really have not thought she was somewhat responsible? And even if he didn't Arohi would have called him out on always being with Akshu and never on her side. She would throw the widow card in Kairav's face.
Third - Abhira + Abhir
It was nice to have Abhinav asleep. The chirping was starting to get on my nerves 🤣 And we finally had some Abhira lone moments ❤️
Loved all the Abhi and Abhir bonding moments. My heart was full when he called Abhi Docman! Like mother like son 😆
But man is Abhi's brain in the deep freezer 😳 I know we haven't gotten to that birth truth part of the track yet but there has been so many hints given
As for this coffee and chai issue. It does seem to be a detail the writers forgot. Abhi has always had coffee. But he was never opposed to chai either. Considering he is a guest in Akshu's house and Abhinav likes chai the only thing she can offer is chai to her guest. But then his comment about changing ones habits was off. Has he sworn off caffeine? 😆 No chai and no coffee?
There is just something wonderful seeing Abhi and Akshu in one frame again even if the conversation was awkward and hesitated. But there was also this sense of familiarity too just because of their history. And I loved HC's hair style they went easy on the gel he just looked Why can't Abhi have this style now in this phase of life? Would it be too much to ask that this returns once he and Akshu get back together again?
Now coming to the first communication about that day 6 years ago:
There was a genuineness in Abhi's sorry. I mean what do you say after 6 years? And after seeing how Akshu has "moved on" and now has a family saying sorry for the divorce doesn't really mean much now. He admitted he crossed that line and he apologized for the Sirat Ma's remark. He knew this was his last chance because this good bye would be forever. Of course he doesn't know what we know and how that truth is going to be heading to Udaipur soon.
Pre-cap:
I have a feeling Akshu is going to blast him. At least that is what I want to happen. I want her to say how dare he do this to her again. 6 years ago he said things in anger and divorced her and essentially "left" her. And now he says "sorry" and gets the luxury of leaving again without allowing her to say anything? Let that weigh on Abhi's mind as he travels back to Udaipur.
But knowing how this show is Akshu will not be able to catch up to the taxi and Abhi will have left.
I hope Akshu tells Abhinav the truth that Abhi is her ex. This way he can start piecing things together about that drunk conversation he and Abhi had. And we can have this "good human" do the right thing and try and reunite Abhi, Akshu, and Abhir. Of course in the course of doing all of this he may have his own illusions of wanting to keep Abhir as his own and also Akshu.
But again knowing this show Akshu may lie and say nothing like that so Abhinav can continue to dream about making this family real.
I'm curious to see what exactly does Akshu find out about Abhi in Udaipur? We know he loves Roohi. Or is Udaipur the place that will show Akshu that the Abhi she fell in love is still there. Now that Abhi has somewhat come to terms with Akshu "moving on" with her family, he will do everything to make sure that family does not break because he loves her that much. As long as she is happy then that is all that matters. This in turns means he will stand against the Birlas because I just feel like Manjari will try to get custody of Abhir for Abhi. Abhi knows how attached Abhir is to Abhinav that he will not put Abhir through that.
I guess this wasn't very brief at all 🤣
