Borna, amazing stuff. Trust you you to bring out and explicitly describe all the nuances in those two scenes.
Awww! š¤ Thank you so much, Kirthi, for reading and liking this post! You are far too kind!
I actually really really liked the sleep scene. Yes the 'haq jatana' part was cute and THIS IS how 'haq jatana' should be portrayed if at all. I loved the part where Yash touches Aarti's fingers. It almost felt like he is trying to assure himself that this is real, it is not a dream. It was so beautiful to watch the comfort Yash derived just being with her. This truly is one of my favorite part of their relationship. It is never that one of them is always strong. They take turns being the strong one depending on the situation. They really have become each other's crutch. The last time either of them lost their partners, they were able to survive and trudge along in their lives because of their children. This time around (touch wood) if they were ever to lose each other, I doubt if they will be able to survive and even their kids might not be a good enough incentive. So here is to wishing that they never ever have to face a situation where they have to face separation ever again.
Your description of the facets of Yash and Aarti's relationship that were evident in this scene is extremely beautiful - so wonderfully put š. It's making me love that scene even more than before, and that's really quite an accomplishment on your part since I love it very much already! š³ We've spoken so much about the reciprocal nature of their relationship (I feel like I talk about it a lot!), and yes, this scene is one more lovely example of that. *sigh* Regarding the part in bold: Aaah, you're making me so emotional now, Kirthi! I feel the same way about that, so I will join you in sending up wishes and prayers for them.
The chocolate scene was cute. I for one did not feel it was contrived. I liked it. And this is what I was saying few days ago in DC that Yash has always been attracted to this child/woman nature of Aarti. One minute she can be very maternal, the next minute she can be a sensual siren and the next minute she can be as cute as the child next door. On their engagement day too Yash first saw her maternal side when she was singing glory of Ansh, and then he saw her all wet and with her dupatta flying onto his face...he saw the woman she was and the after he drops her off he sees her playing with Ansh and she could have been a little girl playing in the rain with a little boy. All these different avatars of Aarti rolled into one is what has always attracted him to her.
@bold: Exactly! You've summed it up perfectly *nods in agreement* And that is why I didn't find that moment of theirs to be contrived either...The example of the engagement night is so apt, because I always felt that Aarti does have a sort of innocence within her, which complements the protectiveness of the loving, nurturing mother in her - the "child at heart" that comes out when she is with her children or with those who are closest to her. She is also a very mischievous, sensual woman, as we've seen, but she doesn't really focus on bringing that part of her into the light consciously all that often; I think the combination of her sensuality and her spontaneous childlike sweetness is what attracts Yash the most to Aarti the woman - I'm remembering both rounds of the Statue game now...Sensuality and sweetness go hand in hand. And now I am going to watch that first Cafe Delight encounter and the walk in the rain again...So much nostalgia this weekend! First Kun Faya Kun, now Cafe Delight and Yeh Dil Hai!
Phew! I actually got around to putting down my thoughts and not just 'RESERVE' a spot. I am pretty proud of myself. š
