I know that I planned to strike, but my sister continued pushing me to watch the episode, and finally I gave in, thinking that it could probably not be worse than the earlier episodes. Boy, was I wrong. Disappointed - again and again and again. The only huge fat plus that I found about this episode was Naina's absence.
First mistake; Kakun not defending herself and Rahul, when Aman accused her of adultery. Considering that Aman has murdered two women, one being Kakun's own sister, she should have slapped him right back - metaphorically speaking. He is in no position to point fingers at Kakun for doing anything wrong as he would have won the "sinner of all centuries" competition, if it had not been for Jack The Ripper. And - excuse me - what marriage is he preaching so damn passionately about? The marriage, which should not have taken place in the first place? The marriage that did take place, because he betrayed his seemingly best friend? The marriage, which has never, in fact, been a marriage, because both agreed to share his name only, but remain as close friends? Is that even a marriage? Take away the ritual and signatures, I don't see any marriage. I see two people, who signed a contract.
Aman is definitely becoming desperate now. He is drinking and in a drunk state, you manage to say a lot, some things that you should probably not have said. The creatives should have given him some lines to say, which would not instantly be understood, but strike Rahul later as suspicious. Instead of saying that "everyone's angry with me", he should have said "Kakun's angry with me," or "she hates me now," which would provoke Rahul to wonder why.
Addition: Creatives, figure out Aman's character. Is he pure evil, has he got split personalities, what is up with him? I won't ever feel sorry for him, because regardless of how much you make him a poor, loveless character, who has been through so much - he still murdered two women, and I can't count how many times he smiled about it. Because it was a lot of times. Redemption? I don't think so. Remorse? Nope.
Second mistake; Rahul and Kakun not keeping Tanu's secret for at least an episode. This would have been their time to grow closer, to grow understanding. The moonlight scene was good, but lacking one very important element. Understanding. Kakun was lying, when she told Rahul that she was happy. He should have at least shown some expression or thought something, which told us that he didn't believe her, that he knew she was lying. The writers make so much out of how he can always tell, when she lies, but apparently not always. Only when the writers find it convenient.
Third mistake; And the one which burnt me the most, it was when Kakun spoke harshly to her mother. It was a complete senseless scene. First of all; Kakun would never say to Devi that she never wanted to give Kakun anything, because she knows that Devi has tried to make up for her absence ever since she found out that Kakun is her daughter. Second of all; Kakun said "you want to take all my happiness away". Um, excuse me, what happiness are you talking about exactly? Because, if I haven't gotten it all wrong, then I assumed that Kakun isn't happy with Aman?
And why can't she tell Devi that Rahul is innocent? Okay, so the creatives don't want her to blow Aman's cover, but she can at least tell Devi that the boy she's known for years, and whom she trusted, has not, in fact, killed her daughter? Doesn't she at least deserve that truth? What's so hard about saying that? And what happened to the Kakun, who was swearing before God and his Green Earth that she would make sure to punish Aman, to put him behind bars and give her mother some peace of mind?
This episode was exactly like I feared. That the creatives, in order to drag, would forget Kakun's spoken promise, her mission and her strength. They give teasers and then play hide-and-seek for a month. It's getting on my damn nerves. My sister asked me to give the show another chance. She told me to watch it next weekend as well and then decide whether to strike or not. But I don't know if I can even get myself together to watch tomorrow. I can already predict that Rahul is going to blame Kakun for not sharing the bed with Aman, for not giving him love when he needs it, etc. etc. He is, for sure, not going to be suspicious or even remotely suspicious about Aman.
My prediction; they are going to drag this till Rahul's marriage with Naina.
I wanted at least one more person, apart from Kakun, to find out about Aman. Devi, for instance. But that hope is completely crushed. I don't know what to say or think. Today was a huge let-down. When Kakun was kicked out, they should have shown her going to Devi's and something coming out. The whole scene between Devi and Kakun was wrong and completely out of Kakun's character.
