Devil's Den: Waiting for Godots - Baby and Vicky - Page 85

I have been saying for some time now that AA scenes and Maaneet scenes in an episode are contrasted.  Yesterday was no different. Here was a guilty Maan breakdown and baring his heart to his beloved and their baby when questioned by his love and there was a guilty Arjun evading the question posed by a woman he was increasingly getting attracted to and who was attracted to him.  He knew that he had come with the purpose of destroying the K family so he felt uncomfortable playing with the feelings of the woman he was beginning to fall in love with and is trying to move away.

Hola...here is my take. I  took Anj's reserve on Pg 2 today so my take can be found there too.


Annie and Arjun's convo - Arjun is conflicted. Who should he listen to? Heart or mind? His heart is falling in love with Annie and his mind says he is here to seek revenge on the family that ruined his sister's life. Who will he listen to at the end? It will be his heart. He seems to be a man of morals. He will make the right choice at the end when he knows the entire truth. Even if Brij blackmails him, at the end he will choose his love.

Maan and Geet scene - WOW! Loved it! It is now one of my favorites. A brilliant scene, something I have not seen from Geet HSP in a while. Very emotional and heart breaking. I loved the emotions depicted in it, from both Maan and Geet. GC and DD were both in full form, fantastic performance.

Maan breaks down from the moment Geet begins to question him. Tears begin to fall from his eyes. Which I think is apt for the situation because he is afraid he will lose the love of his life for his one "mistake". He talks to the baby and apologizes for his betrayal. He became selfish for his love and because the baby was not his own. He admits the guilt was killing him inside. Why did Maan say he became selfish because it was not his real anch? He is under the illusion that he made that choice because the baby was not his biologically. But it was Geet who understood that any man in his position regardless would have take the same decision. A man thinks of his wife and a mother thinks of the child. The mother feels the love for the baby before a father does because she carries it.  As I said, Geet did understand him. She had to. She knows how much she means to him. Geet is the only ray of happiness that he has. Whereas for Geet there is her baby.

Geet tells Maan, if the issue ever came up again he choose the baby. At first I wondered why Maan agreed right away. Is he really willing to give her up that easy? But it is because as the mother, Geet has the right to decide for her and her child. Maan cannot take that away. To him that would be another betrayal. Yes he would lose her, but Maan would never be able to live with himself for that deceit. Since Geet made him promise, I have a feeling this will come up in the future. Maan may have to make a choice again. Either he will do as he promised or he will choose Geet again. If he chooses the baby, then he loses Geet. But lets not forget the show is named after her so she stays. In that case both baby and mom live. However if he chooses Geet, she loses the baby there will be a rift between them. She will blame him for the loss of her child. And let me be honest and say I would hate that track because baby needs to stay.  Another option is that Geet and baby survives and Geet later finds out what choice Maan made that may lead to a misunderstanding.

For Geet her baby is most important, even before Maan. That is what she says to him. She felt mamta before she felt the love for him. But I have a feeling she may eat her words back up again, because she is wrong. She will never be able to live a day without Maan. She needs to realize that baby and Maan are EQUAL. For that she needs to be put in a position where she has to choose between baby and Maan. Maan promised to save the baby and that he will give his life for her. When he does, what will she do? Will she stand there and let him die for her? Of course not. She will risk it all for him. Then she will see that he means as much has her child. That loop needs to be closed. This one scene opened up a lot of potential scenarios. Important thing to note is BABY LIVES in all of them and that Maan and Geet come out with a stronger relationship and understanding.

Lovely take Ann. Agree with you.  Baby has to stay if the show is to remain interesting and different.  Choices may be forced upon the leads but the end result should be the baby is safe in all scenarios.  Geet may have said that the baby comes first for her but did she not risk her life (and that of her baby) when she rushed to HP to save Maan from being jailed? Here his reputation was at a stake not his life and she took the extreme step to protect him. So there is no way she can blame him if he is forced to chose again and he chooses her.  As she said any ordinary man would choose his wife over his own child even if faced with the possibility of having no more children unless he does not care for his wife.  Raising a motherless child is no joke.

love what both Ann and Opti  have posted about Maan's dilemna
