Good topic for discussion here. Abusers go through the repent and abuse cycle in a heartbeat. They show so many faces during one cycle that keeps the abused guessing and confused. In y'day's episode as I pointed out in my post we did not see the usual Kesar at all. I specifically rewatched her reaction when KN stopped crying. First she was caving in but something in her expression showed a woman who was thinking and reflecting maybe after a very long time.
Since Arushi was pawed by KN, we saw Kesar tell Prats she couldn't believe that animal was her husband. We have seen little snippets of something being awakened in her. She dared to ask KN what was going on upstairs on the terrace which she normally wouldn't. When Amma fed her some baloney about clotheslines for baby's clothes Kesar new they were pulling the wool over her eyes and playing her for a fool. Once Amma and KN left she had this "what are they up to now, I don't believe your sweet talk" look on her face. Y'day we saw her eyes shifting side to side, that's a very classic sign of one who is processing through trauma which her brain may have shut out after the incident.
Let us not be shocked if we see her do something on the sly by telling Prats or Krishna a few home truths about RED's plans for Prats. But this time she will not let harm come to Prats or Krishna. We saw Krishna confused and sharing a look with Prats when Kesar pleaded with her not to go to terrace or she would die. Krishna will eventually put the pieces together. Once he gets an inkling of mischief he will leave without a second thought. After all he did promise Prats tumara hamesha saat denge.
I may be one of the few who thinks Kesar has something up her sleeve. Often the abused reach a tipping point, in this case Kesar has nothing to lose, she has lost her dreams, her last chance at delivering a healthy baby. Something is bound to snap and whoever is on the receiving end better watch out. Abused react in ways that the abuser can never predict. People who have felt power by abusing for years have paid for it with their lives when the abused has gone extreme and killed them. KN better sleep with one eyes open at all times.
