You have a way for words , dear!! you put ur thots so beautifully that I wish I shouldnt deny at all...
Hami!
Though I like to joke about it, don't get influenced by my name!😛 I may be dyehard, but I only see a romance if it is there to be seen! 😃 For instance (don't know if you watch sarural genda phool?) I would hardly say that Suhaana is in love with Ishaan, or if she will ever be capable of more than a comfortable loving marriage. But when a story has been laid with so much intensity, we just have to acknowledge it.
No comfortable and convention-bound love for Kriya! please! they are both about breaking barriers however subtlety the show it from Pratigya's side.
As for as the pregnancy fiasco, do you remember how delighted the parents and dadi were? how much they congratulated her, and how dissapointed they were on finding out tht Kriya does not even have such a relationship? Did that impress Pratigya with a need to consummate her marraige? did she even think of doing so, just because her parents really wnated it? No! she was not in the least convinced. She was embarrased for having her private life so much thought about by everybody and even discussed. She was not in a position to either deny or accept anything and she was feeling very silly about it. Half the reason she kept quite is becasue she did not wnat the whole world to know the exact relationship between her and Krishna. It is another matter that she went and blurted the whole thing out of frustration, later at that pooja.
Another thing, did you notice her expression when she came to know that Krishna is back? There was relief, happiness but also excitement and a little bit of fear. This imminent consummation has been on Prtaigya's mind all this while, perhaps even more than Krishna's!
She knows very well that Krishna is not going to be a tame sort of lover, and also he has always been ready to spring on her at the slighest encouragement. She ha salways wondered how she will handle him. At first it was anger and fear, when shecame to know about his innocence in the kidnapping she realised that it was only a matter before it happens, but she is a little scared and wants time. Now she is fully prepared and she knows that if Krishna comes back o his own, nothing is left to keep them apart. But though this thought fascinates her she is also slightly afraid of his "Aanch" or probably even of her own passions? 😳
As for guilt, I don't think she thinks on those lines at all. She may be a properly brought up girl, she may be a bit of an innocent, but she is certainly not lacking in guts nor is she in the least bit repressed.
