I've mentioned this before, Krishna is a man of action. So far Pratigya's actions have shown that she feels for Krishna, but Krishna doesn't know the depths of her feelings as of yet. I don't think Pratigya even knows.
Pratigya has done pretty much everything else a wife does for Krishna except the one: giving herself to him. I feel that THAT gesture is the only thing that will snap in Krishna's head. This is something he believes epitomizes a husband and wife's relationship. He has tried and failed to get physically close to her. This is what Pratigya needs to do. She needs to surrender herself, not just the physical body, but the emotional as well. She has not yet declared to herself that she is in love with Krishna even though we can see that love pouring out of her. I want to see that deewanage that Krishna has for her. I want to see the tadap that he felt for her.
I don't think Krishna defended Pratigya today just because that is what he wants to show the outside world. I think deep down Krishna does believe Pratigya, but he's just angry, hurt, humiliated and too stubborn to let that truth come out in front of Pratigya.
I know that when Pratigya decides to give herself to him, he will not take it. Perhaps he will advance forward because he will be surprised and a bit shocked, but he won't take it. That particular scene will be explosive, but compared to when their union will finally take place it will as if it was the calm before the storm.
But before Pratigya actually gives herself to him, I'd like to see her declare to herself the love that she's feeling and the desire to want to be one with him--the man who stood by her like a rock irrespective of how much she had misunderstood the truth that his love held and to this day still does.
What do you all think? Should Pratigya give herself to him? Will this remove any doubt Krishna has of Pratigya's feelings?
