Sarita looked content for the first time in her life, despite the stress of Raj's antics. The way she leans on Vikrant took him by surprise, but also fuelled his anger at her duplicity. There was a time when a gesture like this would make him fall even more in love, but he feels even more betrayed by her 'two-faced nature'. Also, this is the first time we see her scolding Abhi, which makes cements Vikrant's belief that she's already stepping away from her 'role' as doting mother - apparently she no longer cares to pay attention to that aspect of her life as she's too busy working on her own elopement.

Vikrant/Eijaz was the show stealer today with his angst radiating from his eyes. The irony of how life gave him a second chance, but he's about to lose his wife and the love of his life a second time. The sari flowing through his hands was beautifully done, symbolizing Vikrant's feelings that his time is running out and that no matter how hard he tries, he can't really prevent her leaving him forever. Hence the gun?

As for the pre-cap, it could be misleading because I don't think Vikrant will shoot anyone. He would also remember Raj's words on the phone reminding Sarita how Vikrant forced her to marry him. Even though Sarita assured him that she doesn't hate him, it doesn't mean that she can or will love him. This insecurity is playing on his fears of being bereft once again after Jahnvi's death. I am still hoping for a HDDCS situation where Sarita tells Raj she can't leave her family, but Vikrant still believes it is out of her sense of duty. He cannot accept that she cares for him. That could explain his grim expression in the SBS segments.

One thing I love in all this is no matter how angry he becomes, he never manhandles or physically abuses Sarita. I think that is very important. I think his cold anger makes more sense because to him her betrayal seems like a very cold and calculated plan. He won't confront her because he thinks she is cunning and there is no point expecting honesty from her, especially after he caught her lying about going to meet Divya. Of course, the saving grace in all this is that Divya knows the truth, but in true serial style, I doubt Vikrant will hear her explanation any time soon.

This week is going to be pretty exciting! 😃
