Well, like all chapters in this show, this moh chapter is also off to a slow start😆
Two epis and counting have gone in Radha trying to talk to Krishna and DEMANDING that he be friends with her😆
Along the way ppl have told her some pertinent things but none of them have really stayed with her.
1) Yashoda rightly told her that there is a lack of trust in her and Krishna's equation right now given the fact that for so long Radha mistrusted him, was suspicious of everything he did. So before any friendship can happen, TRUST needs to be built and nurtured.
Radha happily listened to this advice and confidently declared that she will MAKE Krishna trust her...lol
2) Next, Krishna added more of the same that he feels Radha is too prone to whims and at any moment can again on a whim decide to accuse him so how can he have faith in her friendship?
After this, Radha was hurt for a bit and seemed to be walking away but then again turned back and seeing that Krishna was gaayab again got desperate to find him.
3) Balram today advised her to go search for Krishna and tell him what's in her heart...but Radha pulled back and for a moment seemed to realize that you can't FORCE someone to talk to you or become friends with you. Just as she was walking away, Krishna's flute pulled her back and she went running towards him yet again😆
4) Once she saw the gopis gathered around Krishna, any remaining prospect of listening went out the window again and full on jealousy descended 😆. After that it was fully bratty Radha staking her claim on Krishna and shooing all the girls away...fuming in jealousy as he happily flirted with the girls and continued to ignore her😆
5) As per the precap, Krishna is again dangling the possibility of friendship in front of her but this time appearing to make her wait for him as he goes somewhere to think about it...lol. Perhaps he's trying to teach her about patience? Because Radha seems to be getting impatient after a point of waiting for him.
In all this, the common thread is that ppl give advice to Radha...she listens but doesn't truly understand or follow it. Seems to succumb to her human failings in the next instant...which is why nothing moves forward, perhaps. She wants to talk to him, wants his friendship...but she's going about it in a demanding way, forcing it rather than truly trying to understand him or the situation.
I hope they can build a bit more coherence in this Moh chapter and not let it dissipate into another Asur-fest where only the last epis brought some coherence to the whole arc...lol
