I've been trying and trying to think about what to write and I think I finally came up with three things that I want to comment on.
Though I don't really like the way everything was hyped and made to seem so dramatic, especially at the end of the episode, I think I am a lot less disappointed by the whole thing because I did not give my own vote in the poll, and I usually try not to pay too much attention to promos, since I have experienced enough weirdness from stupid channel promos across all channels, to take them too seriously.
I don't really know what the CVs intend to do with the story from here, or what they were trying to portray, but it did not seem to me like Aarti really made any decision. She may have said she made a decision, and thought she was making a decision, but I think that all she was doing was using very bad coping mechanisms to deal with the trauma that she just went through in the Prashant situation. I don't even pretend to know much psychology, or be any kind of authority to explain Aarti's psyche, but I was reading about Denial on wikipedia, and it seems to me that Aarti is displaying several types of denial, especially denial of fact, and justification, which Shobha is handily helping to reinforce. I do not think that Aarti has come out from the shadow of her past with Prashant, though I do think she has finally come out of any romantic love feelings she may have still harbored. However, that relationship has been affecting her for the past five years, even with Prashant not being in the picture, and now that he is back, it is unlikely that she will be able to sweep it all away from her mind, as she has been shown to be thinking she has done. My life has never been perfect, but I've never been a victim of abuse, so while I can empathize, I do not really know what it is like to try to come out of the mental injuries that occur when people are abused. I do know that it is not easy for people to get over it, and certainly takes time, as well as quite a bit of self reflection. It is this lack of time (only a few weeks since the wedding and a few hours since she threw Prashant out) and the lack of self reflection (only a few flash backs about how Prashant hurt her and Yash helped, but no real self talk about how much she was hurt by Prashant), that make me think Aarti has not "really made a decision", meaning actually thought about fully, not telling Yash the truth. What she has actually done is run away from a painful past, a past that she has vaguely admitted was bad and she doesn't want, and is using this "decision" of thinking there is no lie now as a horrible defense mechanism. After all, if she has no past, then there is nothing painful in that past, and she doesn't have to share that pain with Yash when she explains the truth, because there is nothing to tell. Hopefully I was able to explain my thoughts here properly, because it seems a bit messed up to me now.
Since I don't think Aarti has made her "real" decision, but just gone in denial mode, what remains to be seen is how the truth actually comes out. I think it was interesting that even after everything was over, Yash still could pick up on something being wrong with Aarti. I hope that his instincts keep bugging him to find out what is going on with Aarti, because I do think that if Yash continues to probe, Aarti may eventually tell him everything, even if she intends to do otherwise. On the flip side, Prashant is now out there to get revenge on Aarti, with Bua and Gayatri as his unknowing accomplices. I really think the race is on in these next three months to see which team gets to the truth first, Aarti/Yash, or Prashant/Bua/Gayatri. In terms of the divorce truth, I think it is these five characters who will be most involved with how the truth comes out, so they are the ones that I am going to be keeping my eyes on.
