Where is the Romeo Pati Parameshwar who promised Prats "hum tumko Rani banaake rakkenge" (will keep you like a queen). Will search and find you if there is a eighth janam as well and make you mine once more. Yeah right! This fellow can't get past a year and a half in marriage let alone wedded bliss and he's talking about 8 janams. Some of these words were not from his early days but less than two months ago. Even if his heart wells with love for his pyari matari, Krishna the Pati Parameshwar FAILED as a husband.
Krishna defends his mother to Prats "if she were wrong why would she set herself on fire?" Errrm''. because she is a sick, whacked out woman! Did he forget she is the same woman who instigated KN to hurt Kesar that cost her a baby? Did he forget she rubbed coal on Prats' face? Did he forget the numerous times Prats was treated despicably by the Takurain? Does he really believe his matari is Mother Teresa? Krishna is got it all backwards. Since when did Prats play chaalaki games that made it difficult for Takurain to prove the truth? Why does he find his mother's crazy behavior believable? Why does he find it hard to believe Prats's concerns that someone is out to destroy their marriage? He even knew she was hinting at his mother, so why the reluctance to consider Prats's fears but falls for his mother's chaalaki games. It's not like he's not aware of his mother's sly games from the past. He's lived long enough with the crazy woman and he still hasn't learned to look past their mother-son relationship and just see the actions of this woman whose ends justifies the means. His arguments are ridiculous. But then he's rented his brains out to what or who for quite some time now. How disappointing he rejects his wife for a bag of lies he bought into from his mother and never once gave Prats's side of the story!
Adarsh and Komal are in the room as witnesses to this outburst. What role will they play in the upcoming weeks in Kriya's future? What does Adarsh's knitted eyebrows indicate this time? Concern for his sister's plight or hoping it doesn't affect his future connected to the loco Takurs.
Nothing hurts more than realizing he meant everything to you, but you meant nothing to him.Prats attempts to reason with Krishna. "Has he lost trust in his Pratigya?" She reminds him "that it's impossible to live under the same roof with no trust between them". Ain't that the truth especially if one lives among the kooky Takurs. This sends the already confused, riled up Takur kid off the deep end. Thinking has never been part of his skill base, especially if it calls for looking at more than one point of view.
Krishna rejects Prats's reasoning outright and declares to her shock "Beginning today, you have no room in my home or in my life anymore. You can get out of my life. The love, trust and relationship between us is finished. Go wherever you want to happily, you don't mean a thing to me, I won't stop you". Oh my! Krishna, you are so in the pound already and you are going to be the one who's going to go back to her with your tail tucked between your legs begging for a second chance. What did you think your wife is, your pet poodle that you drop to the curbside whenever you fancy? Did you forget you were the one who pursued her relentlessly like a madhatter, broke all barriers to own her body and soul? What happened to the big talk about trust, saat janams +1 and all the saat dena speeches? Is it nothing more than empty words and broken promises after all? Do you even realize how dumb you sound? You buy into your mother's shenanighans all bec' she conned you into believing she has accepted Prats as more than a daughter. You fall in her trap and you readily get rid of Prats now? You can maintain a relationship with only one woman at a time, be it your mother, wife or sister, is that it? What happens had you started a family of your own? When are you going to realize relationships are very delicate, one wrong step can alter the course of one's life forever.
For a woman who is suffering from burn wounds she's neither in pain nor knocked out with medication. She is lying there with her eyes targeted on the diraama unfolding much to her satisfaction. After all her victory hinges on the outcome. To add insult to injury SS throws salt in Prats's wounds asking her if she wants to hear more from Krishna. Why is SS addressing Prats as Krishnabo now after telling her to get lost and out of Krishna's life forever in a demeaning way while his son stood there like a lamppost. Takurs need constant reminder "what you put out there comes back to you multiplied".
Krishna turns his back on Prats while the Takurain lies there silently gloating on the success of her mission. Has she heard the saying "It ain't over till it's over?" Eventually, when the truth comes out she may wish she were really burning when Krishna walks out on them for good. How can a child trust in his/her parent's love when they are willing to destroy his happiness? Can a child even a grown man trust a parent who would go to any extremes to destroy his life out of hatred for his wife? For the sake of his future, his happiness he'd be better off keeping them at a distance. SS and Takurain are sure to gloat awhile about their successful mission to get rid of Prats without a clue what's coming their way in a few months. With Prats out of the house and Krishna at the Dhaba do they know what's really going on between the couple in the outside world when Takurain barely leaves the house? There are more people who'd want to see Kriya back together and few who don't under the same roof.
Ask me why I keep on loving you when it's clear that you don't feel the same way for me... the problem is that as much as I can't force you to love me, I can't force myself to stop loving you. ~Author Unknown
Maybe part of loving is learning to let go - The Wonder Years.Prats drags leaden feet out the door headed back to the Niwas to pack her bagsš. Unlike the last time he stopped her from leaving the Niwas, Krishna turns his back on Prats. So much for a man who couldn't get by a day without looking at his Babu. He's got his fill for the day glaring at her while railing into her. š”
Every sentence in SS's speech to Krishna about parents knowing what's best and doing the right thing for their children, being proud of him for getting rid of Prats will all come back to haunt him for they could easily be turned around by Krishna when he pins his parents down after he finally gets to the truth about what really happened.
Prats flashes back to a moment in time when Krishna didn't like Prats saying "I can break away from you and leave any time I want". It hurt him to hear those words from Prats's lips she is his soul. So does that mean now that he sent her packing he is dead, but today he treated her like yesterday's newspaper. The senior Takurs while celebrating Prats's ouster may slip and give themselves away. Takurain isn't called nir buddhi by SS for no reason. And when the truth comes crashing even the teerth yatras for the rest of their lives may not help them salvage their relationship with their son (in the real world that is but on this diraama POPS can make anything happen). Let's hope Prats doesn't get too magnanimous and forget what these terrifying Takurs are capable of doing and fall into their grip once again. PBJ's are all well and good but at some point, she has to grow and wise up to the wicked ways of the world.
As an aside, Arusi is concerned for Prats's well being as she know Takurain's vile nature and what she is capable of doing with a few weeks she spent as jetani at the Niwas. Shamu is joyful Pratigya has been released from jail and wants to share a home cooked meal with the Takurs as a thank you gesture. Like April showers bring may flowers, Shamu's moments of joy bring days of flooding at MMGJ. Little does he know his daughter is on her way back to Green House to stay. After telling Prats to get out of his life how will Krishna take the step to reconcile with Prats?
MMM's gushing over...
Which parents take pleasure in watching a son's marriage falling apart? SS wanted Kesar to reconcile with KN even after the bayil buddhi buried her alive. Takurs will do whatever it takes to patch up things even if they can never been healed completely, if they have something in it for them.
Grow up Prats and stop being an abuse magnet. Krishna needs to grow up fast before his family ruins him forever. For a man who claimed his wife was the breath of his life, his jaan, his body and soul he didn't give her much thought or time for her explanations before he kicked her out of his life. Live and learn Krishna! Next time you wander the hallways of the Niwas wanting your toothpaste or are looking for your pajama kurta, call out to Piasiya, chances are she'll show up and you will get what you are looking for. Call out for Pratigya out of sheer habit and you will be reminded she's no longer in your life with happy Takurs under your roof. Next time you want input for your Dhaba, be sure to ask your mommy dearest. She'll make sure your Dhaba will be shut down in a hurry. There won't be a Pratigya by your side standing up for you best interests. When your lovely cousin Raade starts stalking Prats around town you don't have to give a care about that either. Grow up before your family tramples on you. When put to the test Krishna fails miserably in keeping his promises and his saat phere vachans.
Prats can start writing the articles that have been long overdue with plenty to tell the world from her personal experiences. Takurs can get wind of the fact that their bahu is letting the world know in her own way what bahus like her have been dealt at their sasural. Let's see them trying to intervene in her life now. Unless Adarsh offers to read them if he is still in town or Shamu reads it to them just to feel superior, Takurs will have to go looking for someone to read those articles and face public embarassment.
The cherry on the top could be if news filters into the Niwas that Prats is preggies. When they try to cozy up and write off the past like a figment of her imagination she can tell them to buzz off and file a restraining order on the Takurs. Grrr Takurs!
Will Prats join her college mate for a chola batura at the Dhaba? She did impress on Krishna that every customer is important. Will the devars remind Krishna "athithi devo bava" and force him to serve his wife and her friend at his Dhaba albeit unwillingly for the sake of his business? What will direct Krishna to consider the possibility that his mother may have staged all this notanki with the pure intention to be rid of Prats? Will he see reason sooner or will he feel threatened to see Prats moving on with her life?
Will Arusi be the go between Krishna and Prats trying to help them patch up their marriage? Krishna needs to grow and learn a lot before Prats even considers forgiving the past hurts and gets back together with him.
Here's a little homework for all you readerswašif you are game. Let's see how many of Takurain's gatiya acts you can recall to date particularly towards her two bahus.
