Omg , what a wonderfully emotional and touching episode we got today ---well worth the week-end wait ! I was dumbstruck with Madhu's eloquence and RK's silence---scared to even breathe lest I miss a dialogue. Madhu's hurt and anger was surely justified and deeming herself a failure in her own eyes , made RK realize what a grave mistake he'd committed by taking up Dips challenge----a challenge from a woman whom he didn't like neither cared for , as Madhu promptly reminded RK. After all these days of wallowing in self pity and in his haste to smugly gloat over his victory at Dips challenge, RK forgot to stop and wonder how his beloved Madhu would feel if she ever found out . I guess RK thought that all that he was doing for Madhu's family in order to make things right and the love in his eyes would be enough to convince Madhu that test or not----he truly had fallen in love with his beautiful and innocent wife.
I feel the following quote aptly describes RK's feelings for Madhu , as if he'd uttered the words himself : "When I fall in love with someone, then that doesn't "just" happen… When I love someone's character, over time I'll see that personality, I love so much, shining through their eyes and fusing with their appearance, turning them in the most beautiful girl in the world. It's not about appearance, it's about someone's beautiful, amazing, wonderful, fantastic personality, you'll see everytime you look at her. It's about the fact that when you look in her eyes, you just feel home… You forget all your problems, all your fears, you just feel safe, you feel like you've finally found a place where you belong… A place you can spend an eternity, where you will spend an eternity, cause those enchanting, beautiful eyes will slow down time and make every second; looking in her beautiful eyes, right into her amazing personality, last more than a lifetime.
It's about the fact that the whole world, the whole universe just looks so much more beautiful! All of a sudden everything looks different and your heart will just start smiling. That's what love is all about… the moment someone you only "liked" before, changes into the most aesthetical pleasing girl in the world. The moment you realise how blind you've been all those days, how you were living in a fake universe, never knowing that the only thing your life is all about, the only thing that keeps you smiling, was all the time right next to you." (-Tom Hiddleston )
And truly the universe really did start looking all the more beautiful, making RK smile just thinking of how the most gorgeous girl in the world sincerely loved Rishab and not RK ------until the moment that his universe exploded on him with a bang ! Madhu's strong outburst and showing RK the mirror regarding his misconception that he alone was the wronged one betrayed by his loved ones, served to open his eyes to his mother's pain and sacrifice as well as his dad's weakness and compulsion.
I loved the Paddy Shammu scene -----both were so shy and awkward----the way that Shammu assuaged Paddy's apprehensions regarding Rishbala's broken photo frame was really sweet. From the precap , I'm happy to see that RK is safe and in full senses when he calls his mother "Maa" and Radhaji's ecstatic expression said it all ------I guess she never thought that Bappaji would listen to her prayers so soon. Thank you team MB for yet another dramatic and emotionally charged episode from the MBEIEJ treasure chest !
