Like you said, Riddhima is in a place where she's so sure of her marriage, so sure of her husband, that she sometimes takes it as a given that no matter what, they'll always be there for her. That they'll never let her down. So secure in this faith, and that Sid wants the same for Armaan too, she's been focussing all her energies towards making sure Armaan is alright, that he's feeling better. However, in doing this, she did not realize that the backbone, the safe harbour she's so relying on, Sid, has been feeling neglected and ignored, he's been feeling that he's of no consequence whatsoever to his wife. Sid being Sid, he kept away all the pain, all the hurt from her till he couldn't take it anymore, and thats what finally burst out yesterday. He's the kind of man who'll protect the ones he loves from all his agony, all his pain, so that they don't hurt, till the time he can. But when the pain is past bearing, it bursts out, like it did yesterday. Don't my feelings, my emotions, my pain matter at all ? Don't I mean anything to you at all ? And there you could see the shock on her face. She'd never even imagined that Sid was feeling neglected, that he was hurting so much.
You know, its moments like these where you can see their love for each other. On one hand there's Sid, who'll protect Riddhima from all the pain, all the agony to the extent he can, he'll take it on himself. On the other hand there's Riddhima, who feels every bit of the pain, the agony that her husband feels, as if it were her own. Soulmates indeed.
Thank you for such a lovely post. 😳
