Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.

Each one sees what he carries in his heart. Goethe
Avita are still in the hut, which looks to be falling apart but at the moment is their safe haven. More than that, it was a place away from their real life...something out of the ordinary and therefore made of fairy tales. Avdesh could dream to his heart's content for he had nothing pressing needing his attention. He could sit and watch his wife - the graceful arch of her eyebrows, the rosy lips, the fragile hands so adept at housework, all the while fanning the flames of passion within him.
He was not used to declaration of feelings or the unburdening of self, so he took refuge in his dreams and saw everything that he could not express...his eyes shy, he watched and understood what he was burning for and that the time for what he yearned for was near.
The niche so carefully carved out of real time was intruded by the Pujari who drew their attention to the posters. Yet for the very first time, he also mentioned the other side of Bhaiyyaji. The champion of the poor of Lallanpur. I was very glad that for once someone saw the other side of Avdesh Singh Thakur that his helping of the poor has not gone unnoticed that he was just not a gunda and a criminal. On the scale, these things matter for the sake of fairness, for the sake of the soul that is hunted like an animal. For if his goodness is overlooked, he is just left with the darkness that will surely and slowly erode the good within. He is a man, a sum of his experience and living. That is why it often feels like there is two people within one.
Now as the pujari said, his good work for the poor will see to their safety. Since they have been on the run, we had a lot of reference to god looking after them, miracle happening and now the karma of one's action. A part of me agree's for Avdesh is not evil and beside his criminal activities he had done some good, so now in his hour of need he too needs something back to retain his faith. However, where are the people when he needs them? Posters are put all over the town (pujari did say it was in lallanpur) and yet we do not see people being loyal and doing something to help their bhaiyyaji. When RV came along to the market to bribe, we should have seen some covert loyalty. I am still hoping we would see something in the next episode or two.
Reason being, Avita really do need some help. They've been chased by RV twice now and each time been in a weak position. The tide should turn in Avdesh's favour now and what better than by the help of the poor and oppressed that he has helped. Even if the help is making sure he gets a job, some money or even being hidden from RV. Anything really to make it look like that everything he had done has not been in vain.
The only person who had seen his other side was Arpita. From the first her vision of him had been crystal clear, for one so young and inexperienced in life. She held onto that vision and did everything she could to ensure that others saw that other side of him. Unfortunately, I don't think many has seen it and at this stage not many care. The world has labelled him a criminal and so be it. To Arpita all that matters is her love for him. The love that makes them both better and wiser than anything else could have.
