When I saw RP and Garvita as ar ru in the car scene today reminiscing Ro, I was taken back to a similar scene in the beginning of s4 which Sheh and Pret did.
The scene today kind of proved the story of ar ru could have been viewed completely differently if RP-Garvita were ar ru from first episode. The connection they brought in today scene was remarkable and in the beginning of s4 especially the first 3 months ar ru got the best scenes which were not delivered properly due to actors incompetency.
For me the story was always ar -ru or rather ruhi ka armaan. We still don't know what's ru ka armaan ya desire, it's hidden somewhere in the depth of the ocean. Ru says ro ar in resort " hum donon ke beech ek connection hai" their real connection is not yet revealed. I don't believe they are soulmates but definitely ar is connected to ru's past in some way.
Ab had always masked their real connection or rather she is the Maya ya illusion between ar and ru. The easiness with which ru talked to ar in the car or in the room shows a solid emotional connect, which you never feel with ab-ar. Abhimaan for me has mostly come across a physical relationship that benefits both of them to retain power.
Seeing the car scene once again the question lingers. To whom ar had lied. To ru ya to ab. Ar promised ru he won't love anyone, then he told ab she is first and last love. Has ar really moved on from ru, the scenes in hospital and car speak otherwise.
Ru has promised she will never give her ❤️ to anyone else. It will have only armaan or rather her desire. So did she allowed ro in her heart or just in her life. Ar ru was never a simple relationship, it had a depth that should have been showcased from day 1.
Melancholy defines that relationship. Everything about them was incomplete. From confession to proposal to marriage that was thwarted twice, It's like ru's desire was given to ab.
Exactly like ar said to ab in initial episodes " woh wahan hai, isliye tum yahan ho"
Because ru chose ro ak had a guy to manipulate in her deathbed without thinking whether he loves someone or not to unburden herself of her unruly and untamed daughter.
Did ar and ru lost each other in the mess of pride and responsibility.
Is ar paying ak the cost of saving his life by sacrificing his love to satisfy his baby wife ab. Because if u remove ar, ab the high flying balloon will burst and fall.
