"Yash...Yash...Yash...your heart longs to convey the love that yearns to be unleashed but is held back by the mouth that refuses to speak." Yash's brain is hazy regarding his behavior created by the drunken fog of the previous night...yet he wants to ensure...hopes against hope...that somehow he did manage to have courage to speak out his feelings. He goes about it in a roundabout manner in querying Aarti, who is in no mood to give an inch to him...The more she befuddles him with trivialities, the more frustrated he gets...till she lets on, "Nah...you didn't say anything about US, Yashji." Yash, who can be so candid about all the regularities of life...who could be so vocal about his feelings for Arpita...the same Yash finds it an uphill task to formulate few words of confession. He is so focused on this mission that he fails to notice that he is actually conveying those words through another channel...through his care...through his tenderness...through the very yearning to speak out, and also that Aarti is receiving all his signals. The whole family gets invested in helping Yash...making it clear that somewhere it is their need also to let Aarti know...through Yash...how much they love her. Yash gets a very important lesson in love from his father, who gives him his personal collection of poetry and shayeri for reference, "Yash, no one is left untouched by love...You need to express the feelings hidden in your heart...It's not advisable to waste time because this emotion called love is very restless...it is a free bird...just like the kite flying in the sky, which if not controlled in time...who knows whether it will become yours or not!!" There was a hidden warning in those words...Maybe later they will come back to Yash when he sees Prashant hovering too much around Aarti...and a new fear will be born in him...that of losing her.
And Prashant? He has already begun his hovering...He cannot help himself from stepping into Aarti's sphere and gauging the measure of her new-found happiness. But he can't fight fate...fate has deemed him the outsider this time around. This time around he can only watch helplessly as Yash envelopes Aarti and his baby in the warmth of his love and protection...making it difficult for Prashant to gain access to Aarti. He can only watch helplessly as Yash talks animatedly and lovingly to the baby...the one she carries in her womb...the womb that bore his baby as well, but he himself gave up the chance to indulge in a scene similar to the one unfolding before his eyes. He could clearly see that Yash's protectiveness, love, and possessiveness was well received by Aarti. The entire picture of happiness and peace shows him the reality and that reality directly targets the hole in his heart and pierces his soul...making him jealous and angry..."That should have been him there...that should have been him tending to her...that should have been him talking to the unborn baby...that should have been him, cause she was his to begin with..." He leaves in a huff...frustration writ large on his face. Yash notices him leave and is flummoxed as to why he should come all the way and leave without meeting anyone.
Aarti conveys to Shobha about Prashant's nonvisit and the increased frequency of his presence around her family. Shobha is furious. She knows her son well...When he was down and out, she moved heaven and earth to ensure he gets a new lease in life. But now that he is not only on the way to recovery but also it seems to his old ways, Shobha blasts him, showing him the mirror regarding the present truth and warning him about interfering in Aarti's life or even harboring any hope of getting her back. Her pointer that "Did Aarti make a mistake by granting you life?" may not be far from truth. Her son takes for granted those granted breaths...as if whatever Aarti did was in the line of duty...nothing more, nothing less. Prashant's defence of his actions is as weak as his own character is. Maybe Shobha needs to tackle him differently this time...too much of harshness and denial of his desires is bound to bring out the rebel in him...and his natural defiance to his mother's rigidity will once again arise. Prashant couldn't care a damn about what Aarti or Ansh want...it's all about what he wants. He left them once for his own need...he wants them back now...again for his own need. He couldn't care less about his mother's words of wisdom;...if the words are roadblocks to his desires, then they mean nothing...they only convey that his mother doesn't understand him...her own son!!! As per Prashant, he may not be wording his feelings, but his silent intentions cannot be more eloquent... "Yash is only the replacement...and now that he is back, the replacement ceases to have any value. And if Aarti rejects, then he will have to make her understand and also take decision for her...cause as usual she obviously doesn't know what's good for her." No more is Prashant in conflict...He knows what he wants, and he will go after it!!!
That's it friends. Precap: It's apparent that Prashant will make up the excuse of the Retro party when caught by Yash. I was more interested in Yash's look there...He looked confused and a little envious...Maybe babuji's words will start playing on him...and he will start thinking that maybe Prashant has designs on his wife. Aha...we just might have his jealous bone tickling there!!!😃
Have a nice day.😊
