I think that explanation was needed, Murtasim signed a contract so anyone would wonder what was he doing so close to her bed....she didn't make any fuss though after he told her everything.
Her words when she woke up were: "Main tum se aajkal ziyada baat cheet kar rahi hoon iska matlab yeh nahi hai ke tum apni limits bhool jao"
Since E20, there have been many instances (see below) which shows that Murtasim will not cross his limits and do any hanky panky with her without her consent. Until E31, it looked like she knew this too and some trust has been established between them in this aspect:
- He taped up the contract back. He himself said to Merub that until she consents to break those limits he will not
- They had slept in the same bed. Nothing happened. So she knows he respects those limits
- They had very intimate moments (gajra, dance, etc.). He was clearly very turned on. Merub also evinced acceptance/attraction/interest. He could have coaxed her to do more, crossed those limits, but he did not
- For Merub to pull her kambal night seduction act which she knew would get Murtasim really worked up, she had to be confident that Murtasim will still respect her limits and not try to do anything ghatiya. Ab agar aap ko dar ho ke ladka iss situation main kuch ulta seedha aap ke saath karde to aap itna confidently aur blatantly yeh kuch nahin karenge.
So I was SHOCKED for her to imply in E34 ke she thinks Murtasim is trying to cross those limits. It took her back to square one without any explanation for this backsliding in their relationship.
Sorry for the rant and saying the same thing,
