Yes both these posts (TM and Lizzy2012) are very perceptive.
That kurta scene was really significant and arresting. I feel for Paro it had something to do with what happened the night before when he implored her to think about her stance, her beliefs, her position...that those beliefs were misplaced and would generate regret latter - soul-killing, corrosive regret. In those moments he was more than a BSD officer wanting to save his job and honor his martyred men. He was also a man who for reasons even he does yet not understand cares that she will be hurt in the future when she learns the truth. It matters to him. insinctively he wants to save her from that inextinguishable pain, and remorse he knows she will experience when she finds out the truth. He knows her moral fibre well enough by now to know that.
That concern of his reached her...it got to her somehow and it is muddying and confusing the picture in her mind. she senses, instintictively as well, that something's amiss. He could be right.
And his invoking his deepest vulnerability, reaching out into that most painful wound, to try to make her understand...that reached her. And she knows just what that past did to him...
He spoke from a different place -- a place of truth -- and she sensed it.
So the next morning there is something new in the mix. Its fragile and ephemeral still, that is why she goes of her own accord to untangle his sleeve...and looks at him with a mixture of that something new and bewilderment at what she's beginnign to think...and yet when he yanks her to the tap she finds herself right back to her distrust and anger and cynicism -- this is a new chaal of his.
But then she finds that he was right this time. and submits to his protection like a baby trusts her mother...
Things are in great flux; both are on the brink of a major transformation.
He can no longer pretend that all his anxiety for her, for her well being is only because she is his sole witness, a source of restoring the honor of his fallen men. it is much much more than that...and Laila's question wlll force him to confront that truth.
The cvs and the actors have been just brilliant in bringing such complex emotions to the fore...allowing us to live these contradictions with them...
taking us from one extreme emotion to another and then finding ourselves speechless at the sheer beauty and power of their pristine bond which is in the process of taking shape. 👏
