Rudra ... caught between a court martial or marriage ... oops, for him, the way things are going, it will be court martial and marriage ... poor guy loses on both fronts. A court martial he doesn't want ... and a marriage he wants even less.
Rudra banna, you should have thought twice ... no, a hundred times ... before engaging in a game of bluff, or blackmailing a woman far stronger than you. And I'm not talking about Mohini here.
Paro ... betraying the memory of her dead husband, or betraying her village, consigning her father figure, her mother figure, and her adopted mother to destruction, for a crime she does not believe they committed.
Maybe she decided that respecting the ephemeral memory of a husband who was that for barely a few hours was less important than fighting for the safety of a living family, who has looked after her all her orphaned life.
Maybe, despite repeatedly calling him a jallad, she does see the signs of some goodness in him ... in the way he stood up for her against his aunt, the way he has behaved ever since she came back, with utmost decency. And in the way he described the dead soldiers ... and his own trauma.
And maybe she's just calling his bluff ... because she knows he wants this marriage even less than she does. 😛
The episode
Mohini kaaki is down but not out ... she may have lost a battle, but the war isn't over yet. And she doesn't believe the story of any engagement or fiancee ... so Sumer has to continue the investigations ... most unwillingly.
Paro-Rudra face off ... Paro may call him a jallad, but she is not afraid of him ... not a bit. She wants answers, and she wants them now.
And she gets them ... the reason why Rudra is so desperate for her to bear witness ... to restore honour to his dead soldiers ... and to save his uniform, the only thing he lives for, the only thing which makes life worth living, after the betrayal of his mother.
Loved the fierce, angry Paro ... Sanaya rocked! And the change in expression from fury and disgust, to shock and distress as she hears his impassioned spiel about his soldiers, and himself ... and sees the hurt, defeated, vulnerable man inside. Is that the first time Rudra has shown his hurt to anyone?
Rudra storms out in tears ... he just bared his soul to Paro ... and it left him raw and bleeding again.
Before a wound can start to heal, it has to be scraped raw and emptied of all the poison and dead tissue.
Paro devastated ... should she sign or not? Her pain is fierce, but Rudra's pain is even more than hers, and not for himself, for his men. Is her betrayal of her village worse, or the dishonor to the dead soldiers worse?
She bares her pain to Dilsher ... the only other person she can speak to ... what should she do? Can she bear to give herself body and soul to the man she hates, her husband's killer, to save her village? She can't betray her village, but the alternative is worse than death for her.
Mohini kaaki repeats her instructions to Sumer ... find out about this dhuan kumari, or don't bother to come back home. She isn't convinced at all about Rudra's intentions ... after all, he's her nephew ... twisted thinking comes naturally to him.
Sumer follows instructions very sulkily ... but strikes lucky ... or rather, the Thakur's men strike lucky. And Tejawat will be on the trail again.
And in the dhamkedaar precap ... Paro calls Rudra's bluff.
