I loved that scene - he feeling guilty and then realizing - this is one difficult woman who loves him and he has been going about it all wrong but now he knows!!!
How can he not stand by her - when he knows she loves/loved him without even knowing him - just like that - he seemed grateful like wow such a beautiful personality tough girl loves him!
His mood lightened!
Uff the looks they exchanged - he had a slight smile - and both trying to say sorry! Suddenly the awkwardness and tension between them!
I love how Saras (aks GR) expressions when he observes Kumud with that knowing twinkle in his eyes - aha now I know your secret - can you forgive me!
I so agree. He's a little in awe that she would like him. Really shows how humble he is. It is so sweet! He thinks nobody loves him and suddenly this beautiful woman he is kind of afraid of is suddenly in love with him and he thinks he already messed up. It is really sweet, his insecurity.
