I was fifteen when I watched PKYEK for the first time.
Plus, my exams had only just ended, so I used to flip channel, never really hooked to one show.
Strangely, I didn't watch it because I was a fan of vampire romances. In fact, after reading the Twilight series, I absolutely hated vampires (no offense to the fandom intended.)But I had read in the news that it was Ekta's adaptation of Twilight. So, the main reason I watched it, was so I could make fun of PKYEK, and it's horrible story, characterization, etc, etc...
..and the first episode did seem Twilightish. I prepared myself- and then, Piya slapped Misha- and I almost slapped myself. And then, I was like, 'Hey! This girl has guts!'
I didn't expect to even remotely like Abhay. I actually-seriously- expected to hate him. But then- they spoke of Piya being a doppelganger, and Maithali's picture- that got me thinking that 'Hey! Maybe this story isn't Twilight after all. Should I give it a chance?'
The decision was made for me on the night of the Kuch Khaas dance. I - renowned Twilight-and-vampire hater- went from being a reluctant believer in love stories, to a teen obsessed with this particular love story.
The point of this is, AbhIya were unique. Somewhere along the line- they stop resembling caricatures of TVD and Twilight, because Abhay is a character all on his own. I've never seen someone like this on TV-especially Indian TV- who made me want to bash him on the head one minute and kiss him the next.He was everything which would make a girl swoon- and more. Ha! Point to you, EK.
Piya held her own in front of Abhay. Yes, there were many times I wanted to slap her too, but she definitely made me want to hug her after that. I liked her because she was real- a real, normal girl, consumed by her love, yet not losing her identity. She didn't become a wimp. She fought Abhay every step of the way, just as he fought himself.
In a way, it was Abhay(heart) and Piya(heart) v/s Abhay (mind). Two against one! Abhay really didn't have a fair chance of winning, now did he?
Siddharth's entry did it for me. At first, an AbhIya lover, and after Sid's entry,a PKYEK fanatic.
The way he changed so many dynamics... His connection with Abhay, Panchi, Haseena.
I should mention that this was the time Chand and Haseena finally-at least for me-stepped out of the shadow of being 'Abhay's not-nice parents'.
AbhIya's confession... Ah! Do I have to start on that? India won the World Cup that night! I remember cribbing with my dad during the match because I wanted to see PKYEK instead(I got my way in the end. Dad was outvoted by my sister, me and my mom.)
And then Maithali enters... No longer sweet, no longer innocent...but evil, scheming, calculating...!
And yes... Sid and Maithali looked so damn hawt in those few scenes they had!
And then Abhay took her memories... I cried to sleep that day. I cried for Abhay, for Piya, for AbhIya.
Post-leap : So many, many things went wrong! Yet, one thing remained : CVs were extremely clear that Abhay and Piya were destined to be together! Piya lost her memories, yet she still loved Abhay. Abhay was frozen in ice, but he still helped Piya!
When the Panchi-Alina-etc track started, I seriously wanted to stop watching. I couldn't. And then I started loving Haseena, for the way she was portrayed. More than Chand, I realised Haseena had more shades to her character!
(And all this while, AbhIya infuriated me no end. I mean, like, what? After the library scene, no near-kiss? What were CVs doing, making them act like ten-year-old shy people with each other- but blame ViSu for the chemistry even then that I still watched it! 😡)
and then of course...Maithali returned... But more than that, I was upset..because it was now certain that the show is going to wrap up.
(I wasted a lot of words, didn't I? Wow, what an essay.)
anyway, so back to topic. The few AbhIya scenes after the 3-month leap were awesome! I fell in love all over again- don't they make the best team ever? I wanted so badly to see more of AbhIya working together instead of against each other scenes. (deep sighs)
The end...? I cried so hard that night, because... Abhay and Piya were gone. Gone, perhaps forever, taking so many feelings with them.
How could this happen? How could they do this us? How could they?
I hope to God EK brings it back...or I will...

Oh, who am I kidding?
I'll probably lie in hopes and wait forever and squeal in happiness whenever anyone mentions PKYEK or AbhIya. ðŸ˜
Sigh.
