Hola everyone. 😃 😃😃Yes that is how wide my grin was today.

First things first. Gayu: A chameleon. A flip flopper. But you got to love her when she shows her happiness in such an over the top manner. She is already plotting ArYa's pregnancy and demanding that Yash be tied in a relationship that he just days ago wanted nothing to do with.

Moving on to Pari and Pratik: I loved their entire interaction. I loved how the writers have been slowly building up the incompatibility issue to a point of most likely no return for Pari and Pratik. Pratik has a lot of audacity to demand Pari become Aarti's shadow. No wonder he didn't think anything wrong when the Scindia's decided that Aarti would become Aarpita's shadow during the initial days of the marriage. Where is this relationship heading- one have to wonder. I also thought it was so interesting that Pari called out on Pratik. What he sees as familial love and loyalty towards his brothers, Pari sees it as being henpecked or rather brother-pecked. You really have to wonder about Pratik's self worth here. What is his identity in his own eyes? This is some superb story telling by the writers. I absolutely love how they have shown such a beautiful downhill decline of P & P's relationship. They were a couple who made tall claims of never misunderstanding anyone and yet look at where they are.

Coming to ArYa: how delicious were their scenes. I am still not over it. My thoughts are all over the place so please bear with me.

1) Kids bedroom:

I loved the scene in the kids room. At first I was taken aback to see an abrasive Aarti towards the kids. But then I thought of what that could achieve and I was at peace.

Couple of things that struck me: Aarti was absolutely confident and secure about two things when she yelled at the kids: 1) the comfort level and trust with Palak. She knew her bond with Palak is so strong that a scolding such as that will never set things back for her and Palak. 2) her belief in Yash's trust in her as a mother. Amidst all this negativity that has never wavered. It did not even cross her mind that Yash might get mad at her for yelling at Palak (and Ansh). And the credit for this truly goes to Yash. No matter how much he trampled on her faith in him as a friend and partner, he always respected her role as a mother to their children and maybe even considers her as a better parent than himself.

Aarti by walking away also made Yash be accountable as a father. I don't think that is what she meant to do but I loved how that became a consequence of her walking away from the scene. Yash heard it from the kids how much his actions hurt them. By having to spend time with them and put them to sleep which is something Aarti always did, the kids were made to believe that all is well with their dadHe also had to cover for Aarti which is what she has been doing for a long time.

By the way how beautiful was the male rendition of Yeh dil hai. I have been waiting for ever to hear it. By the looks of it we will soon be hearing the male version of the stanza "keh do na ki tumko meri zaroorat hai".

2) Aarti by the pillar:

I felt it was a throwback to the scene where Yash stood by the pillar and watched Aarti combing Palak's hair.

I loved Aarti's monologue. It was heavy with significance. Few days back we had this discussion on DC about how Aarti too needs to self reflect on her actions in Mumbai and that monologue for me was proof of her introspection. By saying " now I know you don't want me to be anything but a mother for your children. I will have to keep my emotions under control", she implied that she has understood, she may have wanted more from Yash (than just a friend) in Mumbai and as a result of that she may have shown emotions that she should have kept under control. And so to rectify her mistake, she will keep her emotions under control and she will be exactly what he wants her to be. Wow! My heart cried out to her. A girl who has faced rejection time and again, finds love again and in that sheer joy at having a second chance she displays emotions that she probably couldn't control which were eventually interpreted in a such a different light.

3) Kitni baatein:

Ahh what to say! It was so touching. Yash's confusion, his disappointment, his restlessness and his pain: the myriad of emotions were so beautiful to watch. I cannot imagine the pain he will go through when the dunce finally realizes the extent to which he hurt Aarti. I was praying that Aarti wouldn't look into those chocolate brown fudge colored puppy eyes of Yash's. Because if she did then she would have melted right there. I sure did. 😳I think my favorite bit in that segment was when Yash is looking at Aarti with forlorn eyes and then she comes into the room with the comforter and he quickly looks down at the book and then there is a mild shock or is it pain when she takes the pillow and walks to the sofa. And when Yash was watching Aarti stand there and fold the clothes without sparing a glance at him, I was ready to jump into my screen and hug him. He looked so utterly lonely in that scene. And I swear I don't think Gurmeet has portrayed Yash this lonely in any of the scenes where Yash was pining for Arpita.

I am loving this track already.

Random thoughts:

1) Do ArYa's bedroom keep changing? I don't think I ever noticed that door to the outside?😕

2) Was Yash actually trying to read Stephen King's novel? Not a good idea Yash considering the state your mind is in.

3) Palak and Ansh were phenomenal in that scene where they had to portray their hurt.

All right guys. Still have lots of work to do and so reading everyone else's takes will have to wait for a bit. But I will be back. Soon. 😃

@kt25: (Priya??) Umm y r u feeling bad for Yash I think he deserves it plus it is fun to look at him being the one all confused one now and the one who is longing that's the fun of it to b honest I never really enjoyed when Arti fell in love but I am srsly loving this track where yash is slowly but surely falling in love

@ Zetter: It's still night on this side of the world but Good morning to you and hope u have a great day ahead!

Ahhh Indu. Dead! 🤢Today, you have surpassed even yourself my friend. I was in heavens with your very first paragraph reading about the brook/river analogy.👏

I am so happy that you saw Aarti's monologue exactly the way I did. And you know what astounded me ? That there was not one iota of anger in her towards Yash. There was just a resignation of the fact that he would never love her. All she would be to him was a mother to his children. 😭

And that bit about Yash's confusion. Sigh, that was poetically heart wrenchingly beautiful. Why in the world did he have to be such a dunce? And today his dunceness (is that even a word) was so adorable and heart breaking. He does not think he has done anything wrong. Fine. He does not have to think his feelings were wrong but the way he treated her????? Or does he think he has the right to treat her that way? Or he is just a dunce. But his loneliness was so heartbreaking to watch. I was supposed to be ecstatic watching him in confusion and restlessness but my ecstasy lasted only for few seconds and then I began to drown in his puppy eyes full of confusion and hurt.

This week is going to be so exciting. 😃

@Saf, thank you. I still have to catch up on the last 40 pages, that is in between trying to finish my work. 😆
