OMG I loved the entire sequence at the dhaba from Viaan chuckling about the rabdi tea to the heart-to-heart conversation to recognizing the tea.
I'll start with yesterday when they sat down at the dhaba and Katha asked for tea and Viaan watched the dhabawala make the tea. The way he teased Katha and chuckled about the inside joke was so sweet. He's gone from being a khadoos boss to being the kid that he never was.
Then he went from black coffee to drinking tea in a bid to make good tea for Katha. That was a metaphor for the relationship that was going from awkward and bitter to a sweeter tone. I mean seriously! Black coffee? So bitter. Ugh. Not that I drink coffee in general, but still.
And then the heart-to-heart conversation as Katha opened up on pain and love and dreams. Her life with Adi and her life with Aarav. But what I loved best is how Viaan simply went with the flow and began to open up as well and then when Katha broached the topic of the other woman, Viaan simply let those words flow out that he had wanted to say to Katha for so long. The heartfelt way with which he apologized without saying those words (I'm sorry) finally changed the relationship between the 2.
But, for me, the highlight was Katha saying "chai ke baare mein aapka negative nazare badal toh gaya". The confusion that changed away to surprise that changed away to relief on Viaan's face and that smile that was truly a smile from Katha's side to the real laughter....*chef's kiss*! What a way to show Katha forgiving Viaan and Viaan understanding. Seriously! Wow CVs. Thank you for this. This real, heartfelt conversation between 2 adults without any OTTness. Thank you!
