The biggest show on earth...😡🤬
Then Bhouji joined them, and I can't help but recall the 3 witches of Macbeth.... Before Avi could analyse the set up, his eyes puzzled as he tried to understand....he sees the woman who had a hand in raising him dressed as a widow. All white and black, he flinched from this starkness....the symbolism was very strong...she has no hope anymore, her life is devoid of joy, happiness or even a will...... his bhabi dramatically burns her colourful clothes.....why should she hide who she is? This is her true face ' a widowed bride. Just as today as the happiest day for Avi, so it was for her that day long ago except she was a widow by nightfall....but Avi must not worry, he should go back and enjoy his dulhan.....he may have forgotten but she could never that Lal Singh was the man responsible for killing her husband and Sasurji...
The death of knell of a good man...😭
The light played on Avdesh's face as it changed from incomprehension to hurt, anger and then despair as his whole body assimilated the poisonous words. The words twisted inside like a sharp knife while the fires of anger consumed and burned until he screamed out his anguish.... He had never forgotten...how could he? ..his every moment of existence is lived for the moment he would avenge the destruction of his family...he had been distracted, willingly, by a light as pure as the sun and just as nurturing....but now he could see his bhouji's hidden hurt, no longer contained...the woman he owed his existence to. She was responsible for the birth of Avdesh 'Bhaiyyaji' Singh Thakur......she alone made him into a man of steel, one with uncontrollable rage and anger, the one who was obedient to her every order as per his indebtedness....🤢
Act in haste, repent in leisure...😭
As everyone watched, the uncontrollable rage and anger consumed and devoured Avdesh, leaving behind the ashes of a man with a cold purpose. With grim eyes and a face carved from stone, he approached the fire and laid his hand on top, uncaring as it burned his traitorous flesh....on his right side, his new bride stood her face wet with tears, eyes ravaged by a grief twin to the one in her husband's eyes....the symbolism of that moment is very haunting....his hand over the fire seems to be resting over his wife's head as his guttural voice took a binding oath.. 'I, Avdesh Singh Thakur...promise Lal Singh will pay...I promise not to touch my wife till .....'... At his left side was bhouji and it seems he was paying homage to her......the panoramic view was off two women at opposite end with a man in the middle....the eternal triangle.🤬
Lover mine.. 😲😭
His wife of mere hours rushed to him, but too late. He holds one hand up - a pre-emptive act, his face closed and unemotional before striding away....his body and walk all screaming a man at the end of his tether.......His wife, Arpita, looks on with anger at his bhabi...the one who diseased the happiest day of her life...the one responsible for setting her husband on a path she feared he will never find his way back.....Bhouji looks back at Arpita, hard and unyielding, a tinge of satisfaction colouring her face...this was her due and she will have it...regardless of who stood in her path.🤢🤢
Arpita run back to her room, her despair and grief rampant....a candle fell and started burning away like a pyre....just as her dreams and hope of being a wife had been turned to ashes tonight....😭
My Thoughts:
I feel for both Avdesh and Arpita. More for Avdesh because he has been carrying a wound for so long...the few weeks he fell in love and married Arpita were the happiest days of his life, no doubts at all. All this has been snatched away by a vindictive woman......she played on his honourable streak and his commitment to his word....she twisted and used his own happiness against him knowing that his own core of decency will make him take that step, which may ultimately cost his own happiness....that is how unselfish and pure Avdesh is. Despite his cold behaviour, Avdesh loves Arpita and will die each day away from her, seeing her but unable to touch her but he had to be like that, otherwise he would not have been able to walk away...and not keep his word which will deny him his right to his father's name ' his only heritage.
I am sad for Arpita but the truth is, she entered his life headlong and set in motions these events, all innocently...... His path had been set long, long before she even knew he existed..... She is completely innocent and I ache for the loss that is pervading her now, the doubts and insecurity that must be hounding her, while her own feminine worth will be weighed countless times throughout that first night as she awaits dawn...... All rightly so and yet this is also her trial by fire, just as it is Avdesh's...... She needs to really know the man she married, that he is more than her husband...he is someone's son, and brother and devar....all these people have certain claim to him..... Her's is the biggest but she must wait a while before exercising those rights....then she will be truly worthy of being the wife of Avdesh Singh Thakur. For his life isn't easy and neither will her's be now. She now needs to fulfil the promises made to him, to be always by his side, hold what he hold's important..... For their love is that of a one soul in two bodies.
