Pratigya is pacing slowly overcome by the memories of the events that occurred a few hours back..she is feeling humiliated , insulted and superseding all this is anguish ,anguish not for herself but for her husband who had to sacrifice his dignity bec of her action's ...Her heart is grieving and lamenting the folly that caused his fall..Her heart is so agonized that it seeks release in tears ..Tears gather and slowly falls down ... crying for him ,on his behalf ..cos she knows he will never show his hurt ,will refuse to cry for the fear of hurting her and will always seek to protect her from sadness..She cries for both of them ....
Henceforth there will be such a oneness between us---
that when one weeps the other will taste salt.
--Author Unknown
Krishna comes out of the location-shifting washroom , wiping his face notices his wife standing quietly and is perturbed by her silence ....Anxious to know the cause of her silence and wanting to rid her of her sorrow,
he inquires softly "What Happened ?" ....
Pratigya is overwhelmed ,here is a man who had to bear the insult heaped on her , had to put up with the daily ridicule,Malicious taunts,heckling,scorn and instead of assailing her with anger , ignoring her for her unthoughtful acts is actually is concerned about her ...How deep and unconditional can love be ?? unable to be away from him any longer , she rushes towards him and hugs him , her refuge and her strength in this cruel wilderness ...He engulfs her with his love ..Pratigya begins to sob bitterly ...Krishna gets alarmed , his mind begins to race,did any of his family members say anything hurtful to his love ..Is that the reason for her crying ...
He asks even more urgently "What happened ?"
But Pratigya continues to weep and still weeping says "Krishna, I know whatever you did today was to save me from ur family's wrath "
Krishna heaves a sigh of relief,realizing her woe was not caused by any fresh attacks ...
Love is eternal - the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work.
--Vincent Van Gogh
Pratigya is pouring out all the tightly held grief "Krishna , Forgive me !! "
Letting go of him ...She holds his strong hands in her tiny hands and says "I never intended this to happen , You had to listen to a lot of barbs and insults bec of me ..I never wanted all this to happen ..I just wanted Justice for Kesar ..Forgive me "
[ A word of Advice dear...STOP putting other's ahead of your hubby ..Look at Kesar ,learn from her ..when it came to u or her hubby..she chose Hubby ....it's fine that ur hubby is deeply in love with u...but love has to be nurtured constantly..otherwise it will wither off ,,,beware of complacency ]
Krishna who had been listening quietly to her outburst [shud it be cloudburst,since there were rains,thunder,lightning]..decides that enough has been said on this sorry matter [besides he has other important things on his mind ]...begins his consoling.
Krishna in a bantering tone "Arrey..stop it beta !!enough [wiping her tears ]..why are you crying so much * It is Sax's virasat for u * why are u crying so much..why are you taking so much tension * That again is a sax trait , they require chai or tension for their daily survival* ..stop crying"
[Pinching her cheeks]joshing her playfully "you are my brave kid [Ahem !! Ahem ! Take the hint Pratigya ]..you are a lioness [folding his hands theatrically].."Hey My Drama queen !! calm down ! Calm down !!
wiping her tears again "You Know I hate tears [U hate our ultimate weapon !! ] Then why ....now stop..you are my Kiddo ,my Babu ..Then why cry ? "
Pratigya who was gradually calming down listening to his playful comforting is struck by the word "BABU" ..
She hesitantly asks "What ...is...this..Name...that...u ...have...given..me ..? * is she alarmed that another Havan session is there *
Krishna giving a smile "That is my wish , I have thought up so many names for you ,and this is my right ..How do my ppl call me ..Baba..and u are ..Baba's Babu ??".
"Love is knowing you are the bud from which his happiness blossoms."
Pratigya Grins in surprise
Krishna continues happily "Moreover you are a very Manly woman * I beg ur Pardon !! Pratigya u have my permission to give him a thumping whack on his thick head ..Manly woman , Indeed * Clasping her shoulder's in wrestler's way ..[Pratigya is startled to hear herself compared to Wrestler]..You are a lioness,honey ! Lioness..I am congratulating myself on my lucky destiny !! even before marriage, I always used to say that if I marry it will be to a lioness ..[Pratigya is drinking all this quite avidly ..loving it aren't you..Babu ]..How could I have known that the guy in the upstairs was eavesdropping on my convo and pronto decided to unload u unto my lap [Krishna looking up with folded hands ]Thank U lord for granting my wish !!...[looks at Pratigya ]smiles and says "Aren't I right ??" ...Pratigya's is looking contemplatively ...Noticing this
Krishna continues in good hearted mockery , pauses gives one of his own look back ..smiles and continues in curiosity "Why are U looking at me like that ?? *u don't really want to know* just cos I called u lioness , are u going to eat me up *u bet!*
Pratigya smiles widely at this pleasurable thought and leans and hugs him resting her head on his shoulders ..Krishna smiles in delight at the successful completion of round 1 ..and gets ready for Round 2..Hugging her ,
"Ha ! That's better ..no more crying *That is a impossible task for Sax kinder*..Now go and arrange for some Milk [Pratigya is puzzled by this request ]..bec have to stay awake the night, will not be easy with some sustenance and I intend to keep you awake the whole night !! "
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Pratigya is embarrassed and begins to blush while Krishna gives a amorous look, ..looks her up and down ..gives a significant smile and orders her to get the milk ....Nothing fazes our gal for long ..she mischievously pokes him in the stomach, runs towards the door , chased by her devotee , she pauses by the door and throws a coquettish look at him which is returned with a unbridled look of lust ... Pleased and enthused by her Admirer's reaction//Pratigya skips to the Kitchen to provide sustenance for the upcoming marathon ..
Krishna has drunk his stamina booster and dunks the cup decisively on the coffee table,Pratigya is getting ready and is brushing her gleaming crowning glory ..Krishna looks at her spell bound, snaps out of it and calls the glorious angel to sit by him..The angel smilingly obliges ..
"Pure love produces pure nonsense."
Jonathan Klinger quotes
Time for Who wants to be a millionaire aka KBC
Krishna begins the hunt ever cunningly and starts by asking an innocuous question :Tell me , How much do you trust me ??
Pratigya with passion: I trust u very much..even more than the trust that I have on myself .
Krishna ecstatic [ he knows now he can easily capture her ,claps his hand in delight ] ; Absolutely top gun answer..I've locked it !! moving on to next question
Krishna : tell me how much do u think I love you ??and what all can/will I do for you ..
Pratigya settling herself comfortably [poor girl has not yet realized the cunning trap ] answers : You will do anything for me cos you love me more than anything in this world,even more than urself ..
Krishna beginning to to corner her "Right again !!
giving a pause and with a challenging look at her asks very smoooooothly "How much do you love me ?? and what can you do for me ?"
Pratigya gives the obvious answer : why shud I tell you ?? Find out urself"
but Krishna will not be balked,reprimands her for cheating on the quiz and begins again ..tells her to give a straight answer !!
Pratigya "will do anything for you !!
Krishna gives one mighty pleased smile ..his quarry has obligingly fallen into the pit !!
Krishna inquires cautiously "ANYTHING"
Pratigya " Anything cos I love you very,very,very much !!"
conscience strikes Krishna..n he tries to warn her ..but it goes unheeded and Pratigya reiterates she will do ANYTHING !!
For I must tell you that we artists cannot tread the path of Beauty without Eros keeping company with us and appointing himself as our guide.
- Thomas Mann
Krishna moves in for the kill ..looks around and spots the green shirt ...eyes twinkle and giving a naughty look goes and unhooks the shirt ..Pratigya looks on in puzzlement ..Giving a devilish smile,Krishna goes towards Pratigya and tells her to come up to him..unaware of his intentions ..Pratigya gets up and placidly stands in front of him ..Krishna very cooly asks her to wear the shirt and come ..Nonplussed for a second ..Pratigya then gives a slightly superior smile and moves to fulfill his desire..but Krishna has a rider attached..he stops her and says very clearly that he wants to see her in the shirt and in the shirt ONLY ... as soon as Pratigya realises the import of his words, the smile is plucked off *like feather's off chicken* she asks for confirmation and on getting the confirmation tells him shyly that she cant do that..but Krishna will not have it
Krishna will have none of it :what do u mean ,will not do..just now u promised to d anything..go .wear it and come !!
Pratigya :yes ! But , How can ..I ?
Krishna :No buts !! wear it and come ..like a good and obedient wife !!
Pratigya is hesitant and uncomfortable..but Krishna urges forcefully ..bowing to her fate ..Pratigya slowly shuffles past Krishna ..stops and tries one more time to change his mind by putting on her pleading look ..but nothing doing , Krishna is adamant ..Pratigya moves away defeated ...Krishna sits on the chair in eager anticipation ....Pratigya comes out , giving her darshan in cms and inches ...but the result on Krishna is explosive ...he watches her movements like a parched man getting a glimpse of a wide,cool and inviting river ..like a starving man invited to a banquet of a lavish spread..he stands bewitched , in thrall ..and the moon light serenade begins and the night begins its symphony .......
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light, and too much in love to say goodnight.

MY POV
Yesterday episode showed the growing comfort level of KP ..and also the increasing depth of Pratigya's love.. Krishna is fast becoming important to her ,his words,his action and anything happening to him is impacting her ..earlier too he was ridiculed ,although she felt sorry for, it did not move her ..but today her action's show that here is a woman who is deeply in love with her man , even a pinprick on him will resonate deeply within her ...And Krishna despite the humiliation just hours ago ...is all concern only about her ...he has evolved to such a level where he puts the feelings of his love above his own ...
The Cv's shud be applauded for showing the growing comfort between them realistaically, Agreed it is mature stuff , but they did say that they will show reality and this was reality...
I loved the shirt exchange ..in one simple scene ,they showed that how Krishna has now completely accepted her as his own and also how Pratigya by wearing it has willingly accepted him as her own , has given herself to him completely ..It was like branding them as one soul , one indivisible couple
