Epi 319: D-N The Real Eternal Story

 

Finally, after such a long time, we once again witnessed Dutta protecting his Naku from the world - holding her like he did in Anna's den, safe from all harm. The fact that he gave her solace, held her through the pain, it was such a beautiful detail and so much Dutta-like in Anna's den.

 

I love that Naku telling Dutta about her past came in relation to Dutta's thoughts on himself and in relation to their conversation at the time rather than something that she just decided to do out of the blue. Also, I love how difficult it was for Naku to bare her past - that part of her past - because a part of her felt exposed. It really showed. But Dutta held her hand and gave her strength to speak out. That was just beautiful. She needed him and he was there. Just as she's always been there when he needed her.

 

It was important to her. This moment. To be able to tell him about More and to let out the tears that she suppressed even in front of her Aayi, sparing her mother the pain and momentary weakness. She has always tried to appear strong for her Aayi, but now she could finally let go and let herself be weak for a moment.

 

I have a feeling, though, that there's a deeper meaning with Naku telling Dutta about her past now. I'm thinking that either it's 1) a kind of closure regarding More and the big question we've all been asking (about when Naku would tell Dutta about her past), or 2) there's more to it and it has some connection to what's going to happen with NS and Naku in the future track. I just have this ominous feeling that something will happen to Naku or in relation to Naku - and that it will be connected to her past somehow. I don't know. It's a feeling, nothing more.

 

I don't think that Dutta will distrust Naku now. Not even if she claims that NS isn't who he seems to be. I believe that Dutta will trust Naku completely - and that's why I have a bad feeling that something might happen with Naku. NS is going to use her, I think, in some way. I don't know how, but he's got his eyes set on Naku for something.

 

One thing that I noticed in the scene where Dutta and NS met again was that Dutta seemed different in NS's company. I felt that there was a darker tinge to him as if NS's presence alone affected him, changed him somehow - changed him back to who he used to be before Naku came into the picture. It could be really interesting to see this aspect of their relationship explored. Dutta attracted to the darker side of his old self due to NS? Or maybe NS has an interest in pulling Dutta back to the man he used to be before Naku?

 

Even Badi Hasti didn't want Dutta dead, but wanted to keep him in the dark - firmly attached to his darker self. How? By supporting Kala's schemes and putting Dutta through shocking betrayals that short circuted his brain... he was beyond thinking rationally, only reacting on his inner turmoil. Does someone (NS, for instance) have an interest in getting the old Dutta back? The darker Dutta?

 

Speculations, speculations. Sometimes my mind just runs off in one direction and I end up rambling like this 🤢
