There, I said it. Put the chappals away and let me finish first! I'll rephrase - Saras is acting like an idiot. I realize that he's not in the right frame of mind to be making life-changing decisions right now - but unfortunately, that's how life works. You don't get to pick when tragedy befalls you and when it doesn't. You just have to have enough trust in yourself to get through it.
Saras doesn't trust himself. He doesn't trust his love for Kumud, or Kumud's love for him. He doesn't trust anyone, and honestly, that's a pathetic way to live. And the sad part is that no one chose that life for him - he chose it for himself. He's one of those people that believe that nobody can understand their pain - that there's no point in confiding in anyone because nobody can understand what he's going through. And he's been like that from the beginning, so I don't have any complaints. What I do have a complaint with is that he has lumped Kumud in with the rest of the world - he doesn't seem to view her any differently than the rest of the cruel world that he has grown up in. And that hurts. It hurt Kumud - and it's hurting me too (I think we all know how much I cried in today's epi - Jenny nailed it!)
But I think Saras's biggest stupidity (sorry for the harsh wording but I'm really pissed at him) was giving importance to the wrong people. Laxminandan has always been distant from him - Guman has always been a "step-mother" who never cared enough to try to be his mom. That's the way that it's always been. Why is he wasting his tears over these undeserving people who couldn't care less about him?
While in Dubai he grew up in a shell, as an emotional wreck with no one to confide in. He didn't laugh, he didn't smile, he hated life. It wasn't until he came to Ratnanagri that he really started living. And bechari Kumud wasn't the only reason for this. He found so many other people who cared for him - his Maai, his Vidya Kaka, his Mausi Maa. And now he's going to break their hearts, ruin their reputations and alienate the only people in the world who ever loved him unconditionally. And for who? His good-for-nothing Dad who cares more about his nautanki wife than his own son?
If I were in Saras's place I would say "Screw you Dad," and go back to Ratnanagri to the people who actually cared about me. I know he's not thinking straight right now, and that his Dad's accusations are still playing around in his mind. But there will come a day when he's going to realize everything that I've just said, and that day it'll be too late to get his life back. And he won't have anyone to blame but himself.
