Abhay-Piya's pull & Madhu's grey heart
As far as Abhay-Piya are concerned, today's episode was more about the symbolism and essence of their relationship. There was no progression track wise on their front . The creatives totally concentrated on highlighting and underlining the connection and the bond that the two of them have between them. The intensity , the pull and the impossibility of keeping them apart was shown pretty well today.
Starting with Abhay, in sync with his human feelings and animal instincts , he was like this wild caged tiger. Restricted to that space and under Haseena's hawk eye, Abhay couldn't deal with the reality that he has actually left Piya behind and he may not see her again. The separation and the distance from Piya made him restless, anxious and so emotionally overdriven , that he couldn't even sit straight in one spot in that whole room. As the clock ticked, he was finding it increasingly difficult to stay away from Piya. It's like you know that you have closed doors on someone but as soon as you close that door , your inner self screams at you that you never wanted that to happen. The same is the case with Abhay right now. The issue being that the key to that door is with his vampire foster folks. Once again, it is about choice for Abhay. He has to choose between two rights – Piya and her safety v/s. his moral duty towards the vampire clan. Of course, he is going to choose Piya , betraying his parents. And the price for the latter shall come much later but it will. Where Abhay stands today , there is not much that Chaand and Haseena can do – because this foster son has once again gone back a good 200 years – in emotion , in impulse and in a fearless passionate heart. The only difference being that Piya and Maithli have converged into one.
Then, Piya. Piya today symbolized the essence of her character in relation to Abhay that must have been drafted on paper. I mean, the Piya that we always saw in the initial promos when the show was yet to go on air. The Piya who looks for Abhay , hunts for him, loves him and when he walks away , she stands waiting for him. That is the Piya we had today. The entire episode played her out as the waiting beloved. So much was happening around her – with Arnab coming back empty handed from the missionary Church office , Madhu thanking her for helping hide the secret , Arnab trying to stop her from going back to the hostel. But Piya was totally somewhere else mentally – with Abhay. She didn't shed a single tear while leaving Dobriyaal house or when Arnab got sentimental – maybe because she was resolved for it. But when you see the girl back in the hostel , you are rather shocked at what love can do to people – and that too a love of this obsessive and peculiar kind. She had just left an entire loving family behind but what made her feel lonely and shattered was Abhay's absence. All her thoughts and feelings lay with Abhay today and nobody else. She is still hoping that he will come back and it is this pull and yearning on her part that is driving Abhay crazy on the other end.
Danish surely knows how to play his cards right. He knew it very well that the moment he takes Abhay's name , Piya will chuck everything and come running to meet him. And that is exactly what happened. The moment Piya saw that note with Abhay's name and that he wanted to see her , she sent her brains to Babylon. Why will Abhay send notes? Has Abhay ever used a messenger to tell her anything? If Abhay wants to see her , he just comes and sees her. Simple. But no, Piya – already in a fluttery emotional state didn't think that at all. It is natural. Chucking all caution to the wind, and wearing Maithli's ring, she ran down to see him.
So, as the innocent lamb called out for the lion in the dark, the fox took his chance and threw the lamb into a pool of blood.
The connection that Abhay-Piya have is what makes them special. It is intense, it is psychic and it is emotionally responsive to each-other beyond the normal human senses. Today was like Piya's wait and yearning is totally draining Abhay out of his sanity. I don't know if the creatives have even thought in that direction but it has happened in execution.
Pull is natural. We all experience it at some point in our lives. It can be for anyone we are bonded to. Our parents, our siblings , our beloved or anyone we are attached to deeply. Sometimes you have this urge to see your parents or hear their voice and sometimes when your loved one is in trouble , you just know it. That is the connect we have on a deeper level – amazing , isn't it? But then, that is what 'connection' is all about.
Lastly, I want to say something about Madhu. She is a vixen , not by choice but by circumstances. She is a wife who has seen that phase in her marriage where her supposedly beloved husband had an affair outside his marriage and even fathered a baby. She is a wife who still took him back into her life because she loved him. She is a mother whose healed and renovated world went for a toss once again when Piya walked back into the perfect family picture. It is hard to judge her because all along she has been a victim as well – she doesn't have Piya's greatness and she doesn't have that all encompassing and all sacrificing heart. She is someone who oscillates between the good and the bad because she is not brave. The reason I still explore this character is because she is a great complication of the good and the bad. Madhu is just a coward – just like her husband was years ago. But they are not bad people.
For Madhu :
Kahaan kisi ke liye hai mumkin , sabke liye ek sa honaa,
Thodaa sa dil mera bura hai, kucch bhalaa hai seene mein…..
It is not possible on a human level for me to be good and angelic to everyone. I can't see and treat everyone the same . I am a combination of the good , the bad, the ugly and between them, my life hangs.
Love and luck always,❤️
GOD bless everyone. 🤗
