"The art of love . . . is largely the art of persistence": Albert Ellis
Arpita watched with fear and sick dread as Avdesh and his men got ready for their fightš.....Her eyes were fixed on her husband and overcome with fear, she covered her eyes as if hoping to wipe away the view of her husband handling a gun...no fear whatsoever for himself.....She then peeked and could not see her husband. Panic bloomed inside as she checked all around, has he left?....unhappiness lent wings to her feet as she flew downstairs.šš
Rounding the stairs, she came to a haltš².....her eyes on the man standing before her. At last giving in to the feelings within her, Arpita run up to Avdesh and hugged him tightly as tears overtook her. Slowly, his arms came around her in a tight gripe as he silently offerd her comfort.....the only way he could.ā¤ļøā¤ļøš¤
"The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost": G. K. Chesterton
Avdesh and Arpita finally parted, eyes clinging to each other. Avdesh's face was sad as he well understood his wife's fears. His hands were tied, he gently explained to her.... that nothing but her love feels right... that even if he wanted, he could not remain within the shelter of her arms for his enemies will still come..to fight is to stay alive..that he needed to take his revenge against Lal Singh...that he was only going away for a short while....
he gently wipes away her tears with a thumb... will you send me away with your tears? stop them now...he continues to gently caress her face, offering comfort... as well as taking comfort to sustain him while he is away...finally he moves with a last lingering look....ā¤ļø Arpita puts a hand on his arm and stops him, he looks back at her.....I'm so afraid, she told him.....He once more turned to her and explained, his voice containing a world of patience and love...what's happened to chulbul, forget it....do not fear the cop's words...if you want to live with me then you must get rid of this fear...this opportunity to get Lal Singh has come, don't ask me to stop....even if god asks me to stop today, I wont....Avdesh turns to go and stops, he looks back at his wife and once more gently lays a hand on her face.....don't worry about me...take care of yourself...ā¤ļø
Arpita watches him go with dread, sadness and a tiny ray of hope that he will come back to her safe and whole........
"Love works a different way in different minds, the fool it enlightens and the wise it blinds": J. Dryden
The Rai family enter the home of their future bahu. Jagat is smitten on the spot as he looks upon his future wife when she deigns to appear at last....when her father gives her a furtive look to pour the tea, she sweetly tells her in-laws to help themselvesš....it will taste all the better if they poured it themselvesšš (she is starting as she means to go)....Jagat continues to smile vacously, totally in agreement.....she takes him upstairs to interview himšš.....finally deciding he will dance at one movement from her tiny finger...she declares he is the perfect husband for her...š²š².....also wonders if his jeeju (bhaiyyaji) will come to the wedding, for she wants to meet him....š²š¤š¤
"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it": Bible - Song of Solomon
Rv gets his officers ready in preparation to take down Avdesh...he is determined, his devotion to law and order shining through.....yet there is a contemplative look on his face, as if recalling a certain young woman's plea to help save her husband...her absolute and unshaking faith in her husband's goodness and humanity.....
My thoughts:
I did say that Avdesh would now respond to Arpita..how can he not after that passionate declaration?...and so he did. He could not leave without offering some comfort to Arpita, the only thing he can do so. Also his vow not to touch is nothing in the face of her unhappiness, he cannot but offer her the shelter of his arms, his love....
He has been touched by love and he knows beyond everything that he is loved - proof as she moved to hug him, he was moving towards her, meeting her halfway now.... His words were all that and also a warning. He cannot be diverted from his revenge, not even death will stop him, let alone her. And he also asks that she trust in him....that she needs to be stronger, for living with him is not easy....it is twofold I think, he cannot bear to see her constantly living in fear and worry and he wants her to be braver for his life requires that of his wife, hence his words.
Arpita understood, she was like a drooping flower soaking up his presence and his touch as the life giving geture it was....but she is also determined to bring her husband around to her point of view....I could see that clearly in her face as he talked after their hug...Her love demands that he see's the path he is taking as being shortsighted and not very conducive to a happy future....that is all she wants, the fulfillment of those dreams she weaved about them...the dreams she still see's in her sleep and every waking moments....all natural.
She is very scared, receiving that phone call only added to her fear.....but will she act like last time or will she at least abide by his wishes in this matter?...it remains to be seen, often fear overtakes her to the point of panic....
As for RV, I find him a decent guy, one tough and absolutely living and breathing his job...yet there are signs that he can also be compassionate and considerate....in essense he and Avdesh are both the same....just at two different end of the pole. If they can push aside their differences I think they could become great friends, rely on each other through the tough times ahead.....
And for the Rai family, all I can say is if Simple remains as she is....Papa Rai will soon learn what females are really aboutš.... I only hope Mama Rai isn't targetted....for Jaggu is a goner, cannot see anything but Simpleji......hmm, she seems very curious about Avdesh...another one who fell in love via the newspaper??....or just curious to meet him?....would love to see a scene where AviTa come to visit after the wedding and Simple spends her time flirting with Avi.....he will go out so fast all you can see is the dust behind him!ššš
