Abhay-Piya ' Madhu: Of Connection & Conscience.
Hey there,
A rather emotionally driven episode from Abhay, Madhu, Misha and Kabir's side, especially. But what stood out was Abhay-Piya's connection and Madhu's conscience and her maternal instincts for a girl who is actually a thorn in her chest.
There is a reason why most Ekta Kapoor couples take long to fall in love , go through a very rough journey and take the longest in coming together. Valid reason? So, that when they eventually fall in love and get together , you remember them as epic couples and understand that why their connection ran so deep. This is what EK always highlights and underlines ' the connection. So, that when they are together , you just know it that why there will never be anyone else for them and why nobody will ever match the epic love that they feel for each-other. Abhay-Piya are just no different.
Piya is critical ' she is unconscious ' her heart is most likely to stop beating or else she will slip into coma. But her subconscious mind is active and Abhay knows that her last thoughts were about him . Even when she is battling between life and death, her mind and her heart are with him. Abhay gauged it. When the restlessness and anxiety got to him , he understood that something had happened to Piya. Even as he fought it out with ChandEena , the unrest wouldn't leave him. He had to know what happened to her. Is she okay? He connected to her on a psychic level and she responded. Even as she lay lifeless, she called out to him. And then, there was no stopping Abhay. Piya needed him and he had to return to her.
On the other hand , as the whole Dobriyaal family panicked and pained over Piya's condition, Kabir , who was more shocked and shaken by Piya's condition than shattered understood that even though they all are with her, there is just one voice that Piya is going to hear. There is just one person for whom Piya can come back from the gallows of death. Just one man in whom her faith is strong enough to fight for her life. Abhay. No matter how jealous or petty Kabir gets or how childish he behaves about Abhay-Piya , he seemed to acknowledge today what sits in his subconscious mind. Piya's life lies in Abhay and right now, more than anyone else, she needs him. Going against his nature , against his being and against himself, he called Abhay. Just for Piya. But even before he could dial Abhay's number, Abhay was there.
Abhay rarely breaks down and he usually holds his strength and his mind in place when faced with crisis. So, no howling or growling ' no drama ' no sobbing and crying. Piya needed his strength , not his tears. He didn't lose balance at all seeing Piya in that state. He had to relocate his strength and his thoughts to Piya and that cannot be done with a shaky mind if we are talking about a psychic connection or telepathy here. He conveyed it to her that she has been calling him all along and he is right here ' with her , for her and hers. She is not going anywhere because he won't let her go anywhere. Abhay knows that she heard him. She wanted him to come back and here he is ' at the cost of her life ' so, how can she go anywhere? He couldn't stop Maithli from going but this time he knows that for a change , history will not repeat itself. Not for sometime at least.
This is the definition & essence of the Abhay-Piya's story ' CONNECTION. Even when Piya was being taken away for blood transfusion , their hands touched. From Piya's POV , it conveys that she knew he would come. And from Abhay's side, it underlined that he is here and she needn't fear anything.
MADHU''.
I know we all get judgmental about her now and then. Some of us even try to understand her position but I don't think we really can. There is a reason behind it. The woman we see today is a selfish mother. But we have not seen the young wife who was betrayed by her husband ' we didn't see the lonely young woman who holding on to her two daughters saw Arnab become involved with Sugandh and father Piya- we didn't see the much in love forgiving wife who took her husband back and gave him the love and respect he may not have deserved at that time. So, we don't identify with their pain. Simply because we haven't seen it.
For example, for those who have seen Vampire Diaries would know that we didn't understand the subtleties and tenderness of Stefan-Damon as brothers until we were taken into their flashbacks where we saw them as connected brothers and how close they were. So, in present tense, it becomes easier to understand that no matter how antagonistic they appear or hurt each-other , they love each 'other and can die for each-other.
Similarly, since we have only heard Madhu's back story in two dialogues , we don't sympathize with her. There is a reason that Madhu is what she is today. But I have to say that today , in the hospital, the strongest surge of emotion for Piya came from Madhu. She reacted as a mother ' a guilt ridden mother. She forgot whose daughter Piya was- she just wanted Piya to wake up , to come back. She was ready to give anything to have Piya back to life. Give Arnab to her , give all her rights to her and she even went to the extent of begging God to give her life to Piya. Madhu doesn't hate Piya and she has shown her maternal instincts for her now and then . But we need to understand that Madhu is not a saint. It is an emotional struggle for her to accept Piya and see her everyday. Only a woman in her shoes can understand her situation.
I love the Madhu that I saw today. She is weak, she is fallible , she is grey , she is selfish , she is many things ' but at the end of the day , she is like Piya in many ways ' all her thinking comes from the heart. You know what they say about mothers? That whatever God should have given them in the head ' HE sent it rushing to their hearts. That is what Madhu is. Pancchi and Misha'a mother. If you look at her that way, you can at least understand where she is coming from , if not identify with her dilemma.
After the episode ends today , what stays with you is Abhay-Piya's connection and Madhu's grief. Not Arnab's, not Misha's , not Pancchi's , not Kabir's. Just Madhu's , if you look at it objectively. Papia ( Madhu) is a very fine actress and it is a pleasure to watch her in emotional scenes, especially.
PRECAP: Ironic , isn't it? When Abhay went , he took Piya's heart with him and now , when her heart has stopped beating , he is putting the heartbeat back into her heart.
Love and luck always,❤️
GOD bless everyone. 🤗
