Today, when I saw Riddhima lift her eyes towards Sid like a lamb on the butchering table begging for mercy, I looked at Sid from the outside. Riddz wanted Sid to come forward and put an end to her misery - be her saviour like he had been in all these months. But no, Sid did not get up today - he just told her with his eyes to keep sitting where she was sitting.
Siddhanth has taken Riddz' hand and thrown her in the ocean - Go ahead, Riddhima. Jump into that water - swim - and you will find your way to the channel where you have to. I am no longer going to take decisions for you - tell you what is right , what is wrong , what you should do and what you should not. Yes, it is cruel but it is the only way i will get to know what you want - and you will know where your heart is.
Sid told Riddz to act as Armaan's wife - Sid let Riddhima stand amidst a mockery of her emotions - Sid pushed Riddhima to the limits of sitting next to Armaan to take wedding vows - And Sid did all this with a stung but strangely stoned expression. What a wimp! Where is the man with an iron spine who stood against the whole world for Riddhima and her honour? Where is the man who staked his whole life by marrying a woman who preferred to die than be his wife , a woman who would never love him?
The answer is that the man is right here and answers to all his oscillations between the wimp and the hero lie in his conversation with Dr.Keerti which was shown for a reason so that the audience understands Sid's current status of mind.
Siddhanth to Dr.Keerti - There is nothing that I can tell Armaan because that right , that freedom of choice lies only with Riddhima. If I say anything at this juncture , it would mean taking that right away from her. It is totally her call now and I have no control over anything any longer. Fine, I love her but I can no longer take decisions for her and loving her does not mean imposing my marital rights over her.
Hmmmm......
Sid and only Sid knows the kind of madness, the insanity with which Riddhima had yearned for Armaan. He has seen Riddz' emotional breakdown from the closest and he is convinced that there is no way that she will choose him over Armaan. So, he has left her in the middle of the sea, to clear her confusion , to fight the turmoils inside and know where she wants to be.
We all expect Sid to stand up in that circus courtroom and that mockery-of-a-wedding and save Riddhima. Alright. Save her from what , exactly? Armaan and the expression of his love?
What will Sid get up and say ?
Stop it Armaan ! You cannot recount your love story in front of us because Riddhima is my wife and no longer your girlfriend? Lay off , dude?
Yes, he can do that but then, the moment he stands up for Riddhima and exercises his right over her as a husband , he pours mineral water over all that he is trying to do. He defies all the words that he told Dr.Keerti and Yuvi. He takes away all rights away from Riddhima there and then.Where is the choice left after that?
Just like we are expecting Sid to relive his superman saviour role, Sid is waiting for Riddz to burst out and scream that she is Sid's wife and that she wants to be with him because she loves him. He can see that Riddz is looking at him in her most vulnerable state but no , he cannot be her life guard here, she has to take a dive on her own. So that tomorrow, Riddz has no more confusions and she is content that whatever she did , she did with all her heart.
Sid is just sitting , watching Riddhima slip away and waiting for her to listen to her heart. Even in the precap, Sid cannot figure out whether Riddhima is accusing him of being her husband or pointing to him because she is attached to her husband.
Sid is anything but spineless or wimpish until now. He has played a gamble that will lead Riddhima to the door that she wants to go to. Everyone knows what Sid has done for Riddz and before Riddz , to be sure what exactly his spine is made of.
It is easy to bounce on people when they are at their lowest - it is mortal nature , but there is always a larger view , always another side to the coin and always a different coloured window to see things from.
It takes courage to let go off the hand of the woman you love and then wait in the hope for her return.
Sid is a hero and he always will be. You cannot take away all that he has done for Riddhima and others all his life. And wimps don't do that. Sid is a hero who is at his lowest at this time and well, people , we all have our wimp moments.
For me , today , where Sid stands , he is still the hero that he has always been but in his love for Riddhima , his only wimp moment is that he has no idea of the damage that he has done to Armaan. For me , that is Sid's only fault. But as I said , there are chinks in everybody's armour - EVERYBODY.
