Real romantic moments, real eyelock, real stammering, real excuses, real lying, real song, real stealing, real catching red-handed, real running behind, real hidden smile and real amusement.....No Imagination, Just real!!! And I remember that this is the moment I have waited for since the culmination of the character Dutta and since the first eye lock they shared over the rearview mirror. 6 months wait but I finally got what I have craved for every viewing LTL Second!
Naku and Dutta had become omnipresent for each other. For us, Naku's imagination was refreshing but nothing new, but Dutta's fantasy has become our new and current awwwwwwww trend. Cross your heart and tell me, seeing Dutta float in the air, did you all not have a smile from the very first to the last second of the episode? Where Dutta spent his every breadthing moment envisaging Naku in different corners of the house, Naku took the uncontrollable step of feeling his presence through his stuff - Walking around his room, feeling the lush of his Kurta or touching him through his snap!
But then today they moved from imagination to reality! Bappa got them in front of each other at the moment in the night that was at its peak of romanticism and vulnerability. Their expressions were bare for the other to read and that is when both used the aid of the most common cahoots of love - stammer, lies, steal, excuses and then run!
Could Dutta have asked for more, Enter your own room, lost in the thought of that one person, lift your gaze and see that very person in flesh and blood! And at the same time, that was the one thing that Naku would not have asked for, atleast not at that moment, she had just stolen his snap, she was already dreaming about his omnipresence, Her vulnerability did not let her diffrentiate between Halluciantion and reality and in her hallucination, she exposed her lovey-dovey side to Dutta. A click of fingers and her dreamy boy was truly in front of her.
Hai yeh Haqeeqat ya phir koi sapnaa hai
Khilne lage aaj sab dil ke armaan hai
yeh hum kahaan aa gaye hain
khud pe hee itraa rahein hain
Meri tamaana ki har rah gulshan hai, har phool gulzaar hai
Kaisa yeh pyaar hai!
Their true feelings caught on the surface, Dutta could relate to that dreamy look very well and the result was - "Tumhe Bhi?"...What did he wanna ask her?... "Tumhe bhi mein dikhayi detaa hoon har jagaah" or, "Tumhe bhi meri yaad aa rahi thi iss samay?" or something more intense...? He for the time being satisfies himself with a more mellowed down version, "Tume bhi Neend nahi aa rahi?". The reference was not to normal sleeping schedule but to the root cause of this sleepless night? My thoughts?...He waits eagerly for her to respond back with an affirmation...When she stammers, he encourages her with his expressions to speak out the truth, but when she takes the aid of a lie (Paani), Dutta gets disappointed. He wants to extend the conversation, take the convo in the direction of his feelings, he opens his mouth but Naku leaves and he is left with the feel of her dupatta that has her touch, smell and feel! But his disappointment was shortlived, bcoz he saw his snap missing from the frame and he knew, "usse bhi Neend kyun nahi aayi thi"...He runs behind her like deewaana and her hands hiding in her dupatta fold, gives him his answer!...(I think the end was edited and Dutta's expression was not captured appropriately)
A perfect ending to a beautiful and loving day!
Tumhi dekho na, yeh kya ho gaya, Tumhaara hun mein aur tum meri
Mein hairaan hoon, tumhe kya kahoon, yeh din mein hui kaise chandni
Jaagi si hai, phir bhi khaaboan mein hai, khoyi khoyi zindagi!
Every love Story has a Mr.C that behaves like a catalyst between Adam and Eve, make them see sense into a situation and lends his brains because Adam and Eve are anything but capable of using their own! Baaji was our Mr.C here.
Dutta had missed Naku all this while and he accepts it today, Her fearless convos with him, her being the only one who saw his human side and hence he was not happy with the recent changes - her hesitation in coming close to him and the inhibitions between them. He didnt want her to change and that's when Baaji helps him see the new world around him.
1. There have always been distance between Dutta and Naku. That needs to be removed.
2. Use ONLY heart when it comes to Naku!
3. Naku would never ask for her rights, move ahead and delegate the rights to its rightful owner!
Dutta has seen the new perspective, and he is eager to act on it. Bappa! Please let the beautiful moments stay!
Loved how the hubby was chori-chupe having booze, away from his wife's watchdog eyes.
Dutta is for the second time in his life scared, scared for his family and Naku...The first time, he was scared only for his family but today he included Naku in the mix. Install cameras because his family and Naku are at risk! The "And Naku" was refreshing and music to ears!
Today Dutta saw and felt Love in Naku's eyes. Now that he is in love, he can truly feel Naku's love. And today Dutta can truly say - Laagi Tujhse Lagan!
