Today's Take - A Festering Wound

A raw wound, never allowed to heal, picked at repeatedly, probed, gouged, till it bursts open again and again, letting the poisoned pus flow out ... but there is always more poison buried deep inside, more poison to be gouged and pierced ... the wound scraped raw again and again, the poison flow unending ...

So has it been with Rudra ... never allowed to forget that one incident which shaped his life thereafter ... neither by his father or his malicious kaaki ...

Today Paro got a hint of the skeletons buried deep inside the Ranawat family closet ... and more than a hint of the pain they cause Rudra ... a pain she felt in the way his grasp tightened painfully on her own wrist at the first mention of his mother ... a pain which is scraped raw time and again by his kaaki ... a pain she saw in his eyes before he shuttered them and told her to leave the room ... the family skeletons were not for her, for he and she knew that she was not family. And a pain she saw in his eyes again as he bent over the reminder of that time, a reminder of the only hint of gentleness, softness, kindness in his life from that time ... an old, forgotten doll.

A revelation today ... Chachasa is in touch with Rudra's mother, but doesn't know why she left.

An investigation under way ... into Paro's antecedents ... lodged by Mohini kaaki-sa. Agent - Sumer. He's more dangerous than Samrat, but fortunately he doesn't feel the pressing need for investigation, the sale of the haveli is more important. So his search will be half-hearted at best ... hopefully.

Paro almost gives away part of her background in answering Sunehri and Maithili ... how can she help it? Every bit of her is shaped by the people in her life.

And again, the PaRud interactions were the most beautiful part of the episode ... the silent communication through the eyes ... these two might hate and distrust each other, but their eyes are already finding ways to convey messages their tongues don't need.

Thanks for the take Diya. It was heart wrenching to see Rudra relive his past as he's reminded of his mother's betrayal. It's good to know that he's safely kept Paro's doll. It is a symbol of a good moment in his past where a girl selflessly gave her doll to bring his some happiness. Even today, the doll manages to give him a hint of happiness.

Although short, that was an excellent post, Diya!

I loved how you described Rudra's wound. I was speechless by his acting today.. His capacity of showing multi-layered emotions through his eyes and expression.. I am simply speechless...

Paro has got some hints and i hope she will have more information about Rudra during her stay there .. and all dynamics might change.. She was helpless all through her life, but today she got a glimpse of helplessness that Rudra is hiding inside his terror demeanor.

That lady, Mohini is too venomous. How can she hurt that boy so mercilessly.. Terrible! I know its a show, but the thought of someone like her in the real life shudders me!
