Abhay –Piya : Strangers don't behave like this.
Abhay Raichand is a vampire and in a scene that is a reflection of Stefan-Elena scene in season 1 , he proved it. In VD, Elena and Stefan were all alone in what I remember was a cemetery. Elena hurt herself and she was examining her wound. The sight of blood provoked the monster inside Stefan – his fangs began to show and his pupils and vitrous humour went black. Stefan , knowing that he will end up biting Elena just disappeared. ……Abhay did the same thing even though the scene was creatively different. Abhay hurt Piya and the sight of blood began to evoke the monster in him. Abhay could have bitten her but he scared the poor girl out of wits into running away. Abhay suppressed the monster inside him. For Piya.
But today , the question is not about Abhay and his personality . It is about Piya Jaiswal. Piya Jaiswal who claims to hate Abhay and has permanently labeled him 'Arrogant Rude Jerk'. Pancchi , can well be termed the director of AP's love-hate story. She sent both the warriors to talk out their differences. But talk about? Abhay didn't want to talk – we are strangers , so what is this peace summit about? But Piya wanted to talk… talk badly enough to have the guts to hold Abhay's arm and stop him. Force him to talk to her. Abhay could have gone off without giving a damn but he stayed. He stayed to face the truth that he does not want to face. Piya wanted answers – Are we strangers , really? Are you sure there is nothing between us? Strangers don't behave like this. Everything you say hurts me and that is not what happens between strangers. It's you who is scared of coming close to me. My proximity affects you ( I still can't believe she said that ). Piya was telling nothing but the truth and that hit Abhay – got him angry – anger – his only defense against his own heart. He roughed her up and told her that he is not scared of her and she is just day dreaming. And he pushed her….
It is strange that even when Piya got hurt and her hand bled, her attention was more on what was happening with Abhay. She didn't accuse , she didn't abuse. She just did what Abhay told her to do… RUN AWAY.
The scene is symbolic in many ways. Abhay affects Piya very much – affects her enough to give her the guts to take his case in a dark forest in the middle of the night. It reflected that Abhay will always try to run away from the promise of a love land and Piya will always be on heels , making him believe that even though forbidden , their love is for real.
I may be wrong but I feel that Piya would be the happiest person on this earth if Abhay treated her nicely even once. Abhay hurts her and it hurts Piya very much.
P.S- Piya will surely take Abhay's case regarding Maya in future. But whatever is between Abhay and Maya is STRICTLY not Piya's business 'coz it is on the periphery of supernatural.
PKYEK is a very slow story but it is very engaging and I am a BIG Ekta critic. Considering that , I think PKYEK has got everything right except PACE.
Love and luck always,❤️
GOD bless everyone. 🤗
