😉The episode ended on such a cute and warm note despite the tashan, that I could only giggle at poor Ruhaan's plight... He was ambushed for a long time and it was time to strike back. Enough was enough! Mishti is quite a handful. 😆Chalo, will get on with his monologue:
Where was I?
Yes. The kiss.
Note how I have not highlighted it. I witnessed a romantic moment between my best friend and his fiancee. That was it, right?
I don't know what came over me.
The whole day she had played the Ice Queen and ignored me. She didn't want to get on the lift with me. Though I must admit it feels good to be in a confined space with her even if she is shooting daggers at me. Suddenly, the world becomes so small and there are only two people in it... What am I blabbering on about?!
Anyway, she exited as though it burned her to be in the same space with me, without one glance at me. Burned? I'm facing some kind of fire too. How can one person feel so hot and cold to you at the same time? How could she alternately cool me down and fire me up? One big mystery!
She had a tyre puncture, so I waited for her to ask me. The woman was so adamant, she walked away huffing and puffing at me and waited out in the hot sun. God knows when she caught an auto.
I thought things would be better by evening as we sat down for dinner. I could still feel the tension in her. I got to know she had rushed off to help Veer's mother and got to know a bit more about her. She was missing her mother and still feels helpless she could do nothing for her. It got me thinking. There is a lot of complicated stuff beneath the calm collected exterior she projects to the world.
Veer wanted the salad to be passed and we both reached out at the same time and accidentally I touched her fingers. Her reaction to that was so annoying. She jerked my hand away as though she had caught a live wire and ended up spilling stuff on me. I had enough trying to read this woman, so I quietly retired to my room.
I should have just stayed there.
Instead, I made the mistake of coming out to talk to Veer and caught them kissing in the corridor.
I have no idea why this riled me up so much. This was just expected. They were betrothed. She had made it clear in every way that she was in love with him. It is only natural they share a kiss like any normal couple. I can't explain it, but something snapped inside me. I agree I was irrational, so I stormed off to my room and started throwing things around. Just random stuff to take out my anger at first and then I decided to get rid of that crumbled paper of a kiss that seemed to trouble me forever. I just threw it on the floor and wished it would go away and stop troubling me again.
The door swung open and I had the two sisters staring at me, one in disbelief, the other in confusion and distrust. I just screamed out my frustration and told them off properly. Not a proud moment. I quietly picked up that little chit of trouble I still wanted to treasure. How impossible I am! I must love to torture myself.
Later in the night I caught the sisters arguing. She is some lady Hitler, I tell you. Ha Ha... And she had a point. Just that she put it across a little forcibly and with a lot of frustration.
I picked up a beer bottle and went to the terrace to just be with myself. Her little sister chooses the same spot to ruminate.
At this point , I must say I find her siblings easier to converse with. They are both sweet. The brother is a little naughty, but he is caring and responsible enough for his age. It is,, nice to play big brother to him at times. The little sister is confused at times, she even mistook me earlier that night at dinner for her boyfriend. So carelessly she had placed her hands on me with such familiarity, I was distinctly surprised and a little uncomfortable. She was confused as hell right now and hurting. I gently reminded her to be herself rather than measure up to her perfect sister and also reach her full potential. That seemed to calm her. Looked like things were settled.
The next morning , I went for a jog and the younger siblings joined me. I returned refreshed hoping for a good day. The moment I enter the house, I could feel the tension. She tells me off like a little kid. Of course, by now I should know that is the only way she will talk to me ever. Talk to me like I was the scum on the earth!
I swallow down the humiliation and go back to my sanctuary. I decide to cool down by sweating it out and minutes later she comes barging into my private space. What the hell!!!
From where did she get the idea she can storm into my room, invade my thoughts, make me lose my mind as and when she wishes? The nerve, I tell you !!! My private space is mine and mine alone. You heard it? No one can trespass it. Got it? Loud and clear ?Now just get the hell out of my room and my head!
PS :Ruhaan continues to be well written, I hope Gajra continues this streak. Since comparisons with season 1 are inevitable as both girls carry baggages from their past, I want to share a few thoughts.
On the surface, Ruhaan, Mishti and Veer might seem to mirror Kunal, Mauli and Ishaan. I feel the equation is different. Ishaan had felt Kunal was Mauli's choice and therefore he had given her up to Kunal so she didn't end up feeling guilty. The situation is different now. Mishti will fight her feelings for Ruhaan very sincerely and it will be Veer who realises what her heart actually desires, but mind refuses to comply with. He will understand Mishti is ignoring her own feelings, much like she ignored the engagement ring she wanted for the sake of peace. I think he will probably have to teach her to face her feelings than ignore them. Back in S1, Mauli didn't express the feelings she had for Ishaan verbally because she did not want to make a mistake - Mishti refuses to acknowledge her feelings because she feels that would be the biggest mistake. I hope the writer puts it forth without making a mess.
