'usne toh sirf rishta tora tha kusum, maine toh usi koh tor diya'
Realization, better late than never. The girl who took forever to thank the same man when he saved her father from that awful fire immediately realized the pain she gave him when she reopened his old wounds. The girl is full of ego, but she does have a heart and realizes her fault in bringing back those disturbing memories of Saras's past. When he hurt her by rejecting the proposal, she threw her attitude, remained stubborn, and held her nose up high in the air, but now the game has changed. She's still stubborn...however, she has vowed to now go to any length possible to achieve his forgiveness.
Kusum was right- the two give each other pain, but they understand each others pain as well. I think that's the beauty of this show. It adds a much needed dose of passion in the story without all these physical romantic close scenes...you still end up feeling the essence and the beauty of the scene even when the characters aren't in close proximity. Saras came all the way to Ratna Nagri cause Kumud's voice attracted him but he also felt guilty for doing what he did somewhere down the line...he knew he hurt Kumud and that too deeply when they had that video conference. At the moment, Saras isn't in the right frame of mind to accept her apology and is being stubborn as she was, but I'm sure somewhere, when his mind is clear, eventually he will know that Kumud isn't at fault when she didn't even know about his past.
