He hurt more than anyone did Sanju.

He did. That is why, it is said, that Urmila seeing his pain, asked Raghuveer to raise Angad and Chitraketu, for he would feel the love of kids.

He was so happy, yet sad, for He had missed so many years of their life.

To understand today's episode we will have to go back. Go back to the swayamvar mandap where Raghukul nandan Ram enters with Vishwamitra and Lakshman.

Ram the prince had fallen for the princess of Mithila. The beautiful, knowledgeable Maithili. But Raghunandan Ram cannot profess his love to her. Because her father has kept a swayamvar to which the invited kings were competing. He was not invited for the swayamvar. Also all his parents had known is the fact that he is going with Rishi Vishwamitra to help him in killing adharmi asurs.

On one hand sat his love, her eyes that day also looked at him, letting him know what she feels about him. But the prince stood there calm, not even making a move. Because it was Raghunandan Ram and Janaknandini Sita in the Swayamvar hall.

Then what he wants happens. His brother announces publicly his elder brother is capable of lifting the shiv dhanush. Guru Vishwamitra is now forced to take a decision. He asks Ram to move forward and lift the dhanush.

Ram goes, lift the dhanush, proves himself to Raja Janak and claims his love Maithili. Note the point at every step he looks Raghunandan, but Ram gets what he wants. Also note the point he satisfies the criteria set by Raja Janak to win the hand of Maithili. And I had said earlier during those episode itself why did he observe the maryada. Because he wanted his wife to be respected by his family.

Come back to AP. Today once again it is between Ram and Raghunandan. Ram who knows his wife is pure. She only loves him. And Raghunandan who tells the rules of his family.

I loved the way Ram tells Lakshman " Devi Sita", then Trijatha hears him " You cannot come to Ayodhya"

But what Ram talks to Sita. He tells he has failed as a husband as he couldn't protect her and he took so much time to reach her. Note the play of words there. Why he had to take the role of Raghunandan is because he failed as Ram. If he had protected her, she wouldn't have had to stay in Lanka. And if she hadn't stayed in Lanka then she could have gone back to him. It is his failure that is forcing him to give her the liberty. Not her impurity. I loved Ashish in the scene, the subtle pain was beautifully shown.

Now Sita asks the reason and everyone comes. When everyone is present Ram is moving to the reason of his decision. But for Sita he had spelled out the reason in clear terms. And whatever he said was only for her ears. To the world it is going to be Raghukul maryada. Sita who has heard and understood her husband's pain take the step of AP so that he doesn't fail as a husband. He is not forced to leave her in Lanka or somewhere else. Ashish's expression in precap was superb. He knows, he knows Agni wont touch his love. If he is able to take her back to Ayodhya as a husband it is because of her who doesn't want her husband to be a failure, and also who doesn't want people to tell that he doesn't observe Raghukul maryada.

Just like in Swayamvar where Ram and Sita actually had a love marriage but to the world it looked an arranged marriage, today also they succeed as hus-wife but to the world it looks Raghukul maryada.
