Abhay-Piya-Misha: Hearts don't just break, they react.
Abhay
There is a reason that he is my favourite character in PKYEK. He is the most complicated , most messed up and most suffering character in the serial – his character has been created to suffer , heal and burn in a new hell everyday. His life is a never ending punishment and the creatives keep telling you over and over that Abhay is not allowed to hope. He is a melancholic character who is meant to walk till the end of time with the weight of all possible agonies and miseries on his shoulders. Yet , there is one thing about him that makes him the most believable character in many ways inspite of him being a supernatural. It's his endurance. His perseverance. His ability to rise from the ashes. He is the man who manages to shine bright even when the sun goes down on him.
The kind of situation Piya left Abhay in , any man would just break , shatter and shut himself up in some tower. The kind of heartbreak it was , nobody could have taken it. But Abhay dealt with it – he dealt with the pain that Piya or rather the mortal in Piya had unleashed on him. Just spent some time with himself in a closed room – raged and ranted – lost all faith in Piya – cursed her, cursed himself for daring to think of a fairytale. And then, sprung into action. Piya cannot get away with this. Such tall sweeping claims of love , ripped open all his fibers of vulnerability and emotions and when it was showtime, she ran off? So not done. Piya is not getting away with this. Always the one to bounce back using his intrinsic strength , he ran off to pull up the teenager and her horses.
No crying , no howling , no melodrama – Abhay knew exactly what he is going to do. But hey! Piya was leaving. She was leaving the hostel – leaving Dehradun. Abhay changed his mind about confronting her. What is the point of confronting a lamb who is looking for a cover to hide? He went to see her one last time – at the bus stop. Like always , he knew where to find her. He got down from the car and walked up to her – quiet, calm, determined and both his head and heart in place. No words. He didn't deem it necessary. Piya had not turned out to be the Piya he had started connecting to. He deliberately or rather meanly closed in on her face while picking her luggage – to send the message across to her that she can hate him, she can run away from him but she can never change this feeling- he will always make her heart skip that one beat which changes an entire lifetime. Abhay put her luggage on the bus and without a word went away – it was ADIOS from his side – with the same bitterness that she had given to him.
And then, you saw Abhay closing up his heart all over again. All the emotional frustration , rejection and turmoil that he had suffered in the past 48 hours raised its head as what we call setting up walls and laying a line of defence. He realized that what a mistake it was to have been swept off in this emotion ocean – none of it was real and he belongs in the shadows. Piya has gone to sunshine and that is where she should stay.
By the end of the episode, Abhay's anger and angst against Piya was dissolved but the whole experience of the last 48 hours jolted Abhay back to reality. Him and Piya can't happen.No way! What was he thinking ? How did he get so swayed in emotions that he forgot the impossibility of his bond with Piya. This temporary rejection that Piya gave Abhay sent him back to the Abhay that he was in the initial episodes. Abhay refuses to even dare to think about hoping again.
So, if you see this cold, emotionally frozen and touch-me-not Abhay again, remember. That he gave love and life a chance – a small chance and the world ( read Piya) slapped him across the face for it. We need Abhay to believe again, believe in Piya and try to get over the Piya that he has seen in these past two days. She is coming around, back to him…… but there is a problem. A big one.
Piya, for no logical fault of hers has ended up sending Abhay back to the melancholic refrigerator. She was his reason to believe but, anyway, lets not get into that. Abhay shut all doors on Piya today as we saw and I have no idea how is Piya going to ever convince him of anything ever again. I mean , its like this. You are scared of heights and I promise to hold your hand as we see the sunrise from the cliff. And then, I push you off the cliff. I feel bad and I come running back to nurse you. What are you going to do? There lies your answer , hmmm.
Piya
Love is not love unless it is madness and no man or woman is in love until you see somebody else swimming in their eyes. Not a coat on their back, no shoes on their feet , no food to eat and yet you see stars glitter through their souls. Love is nature's befitting reply to all logic and sanity that human beings like to swear by. Today , Piya was a picture of that madness that we often hear and , well, let's admit it , see it in real life as well. With all her reflexes settled into their place, her neurons back to their ground state, her heart having recovered from the shockwaves that sent anger waves throughout the audience – Piya was in a total DUMBLINA state. The dumbness of the most endearing kind. As soon as she got her nerves back , she realized that no matter how much she had howled and screamed at Abhay , no matter how ewwwwwwww he looked with those fangs and neon violet eyes , no matter how many times she went under the shower and blocked the drainage pipes of the hostel, no matter how many buses took out of Dehradun…… there was a heart inside her that stuck out its tongue out at her and told her that she can do a world tour with her marathons. Abhay is still going to sit pretty in there and give her those smug grins telling her that all roads lead back to him.
When she saw him walk towards her at the bus stop, she was actually seeing the monster vampire walk towards her – yet , rather than being scared and screaming 'bachaao, bachaao' , she found herself staring into his eyes and going dizzy in the head with his fleeting flash of proximity when he picked her luggage. Inside, the heart is not scared of Abhay – how can it be? She is coming around , just like Elena but slowly.
And what was the use of so much drama and wasting the water of hostel tanks? Even as the bus drove away from Dehradun, her mind and heart continued giving her whiplash – Abhay, Abhay , Abhay , Abhay and well, a little more Abhay. It was him all around as she left the city.
With the vision of the vampire slowly melting into the fog of her mind , the Abhay that resides in her heart – the tall, fair and handsome knight in shining armour with a dead heart , a dead soul that is more alive than anyone else's – that Abhay boxed her ears and Piya realized that it is no use running. No use hiding behind fears and excuses. She loves him – against reason, against logic, against sanity. And that thread inside Piya turned her on her heels and sent her back running to Abhay.
To love him and sing Taylor Swift's songs? Errm ,not really. Piya wants to 'handle' it , 'deal' with it and I guess make peace with Abhay and tell him to stay away from her. Yeah, yeah. That twisted way of telling that special someone that you can't live without them. That is why I called her an endearing Dumblina.
Little does she know that instead of telling Abhay to stay away from her and torturing him with another set of questions, she is only going to sink deeper into him. 'Coz Abhay is not exactly waiting with open arms of YRF films' SRK for her to run into them. She has to make those arms open up to her…. Again….
Misha
You know this Pop culture has limited the idea of true love to ' couples' or rather the universal man –woman relationship. Not true. There is just one soulmate – the one you fall in love with. Not true. True love and soulmates can be found anywhere – parents , siblings , friends, guides , confidantes. Anyone who loves you selflessly and knows every heartbeat of yours is your true love – is your soulmate. And that is what you see when you look at Misha's emotions for Piya. They are souls sisters and their attachment is rare and rooted. Misha doesn't know that Piya is her blood – for her, Piya is a sister from another mother who is an irreplaceable part of her life. Misha is absolute purity of heart and that is why she always thinks from her heart. Reacts from her pink fragile heart. Piya is lucky that Misha didn't beat her with boxing gloves for just getting up and walking out like that. We saw such a vulnerable Misha and it was an endearing sight to see her engulf Piya in her arms and tell her that she is her family and she cannot just get up and walk away like that ever again. Piya understood that even though her soul compass is Abhay , she has no right to hurt the ones who love her just because Abhay gives her this psychosis. I loved the sisterly hug and the look that Misha gave Abhay while leaving.
And what's up with Shaw? Turning our bratty Mishkoo into this French Poodle and then, making her run all around the college to catch a single glimpse of him? Come on ,now. We need a Sam-Misha dose amidst all the heavy drama going on.
P.S- How many people think that tomorrow's episode is gonna be like this?
