What makes their relationship unique and stand out from everything is the depth and subtlety which they both are always able to evoke with their shared silent communications. Their friendship and love has always had a particular intensity because whenever they held each other's gazes, it always melted into a sense of wordless union.

Then, there came a moment when Mohan realized that he is hopelessly, irrevocably, in love with Megha and has been, for the past few weeks. One-sided love is like that, it has the nasty habit of creeping up on you unexpectedly. Yes, to Mohan's dismay, he had fallen in love with Megha who didn't at all seem to reciprocate his feelings, neither did she have any inkling to them. Mohan had to go through the torture of silent heartache. Mohan had to go through extreme pain, discomfort, but he proved himself courageous enough, to be willing to risk his heartbreak but never step back or give up on it. He never expected Megha to requite his love with anything. Being in the initial phases of love, Mohan's one-sided love was enough to prevent the flame of hope in his heart from extinguishing altogether.

Realizing once and for all, that Mohan is way too deeply in love with her, the widow in Megha, who had been lying in hibernation all this while, found this a rude provocation. Mohan had been the one to bring back all the beautiful colors of fun and gaiety into her life, but she considered his falling in love with her or the thought of her reciprocation as a demonstration of blatant disloyalty, towards her past and memories of her late beloved husband. The hatred and abhorrence of Mohan's mother Indu, towards Megha, made her pose even stricter restrictions on herself, where thoughts of loving or marrying Mohan were concerned.

As it's always inevitable with true love, Mohan's silent unconditional love, after coping with all the angst and pain of unreciprocation, became too much for him to be content with. It filled him to overflowing , so much so that he couldn't contain it all inside him any longer. He knew Megha's dilemma and being aware of that, he understood her silence and denial of having any feelings for him but as it happens in love, Megha's hidden, deeply buried feelings started manifesting in her attitude towards Mohan. What had been just friendship for her till a few days back, it all but caught fire. Mohan's nearness started fluttering her, her heart raced and she found herself smiling like an idiot, whenever she was around him. Mohan became a permanent resident of her thoughts, her mind and her heart, so much so that she couldn't help but finally confess to herself, and surrender to the reality and warmth, the intensity of her feelings for Mohan. This sweet surrender finally brought her out of the torment of her darkened melancholic past.

Ok and a final analysis of the memorable hug and Megha's confession scene, hadn't done this in the forum before so here it is.

Last time Mohan left from Juna Mohalla was earlier that evening, utterly broken and disheartened because on Indu's provocation he had gone to Vyas house, in an intoxicated condition. Right there in their living room, he lay his heart bare, in front of everyone, poured out his feelings and in turn implored Megha to come forward with her own, he wanted her to confess but that never happened.
In between, he went and did something which he himself didn't know or realize the reality of. In the hospital, especially in mandir, Mohan while doing all the marriage rituals, his eyes looked far away. He seemed to be doing it all in a trance, like his mind had gone numb all over.
Then we saw him on his bike, returning, still in that dazed state, having flashbacks of the wedding with Riddhima and then of Papa ji's words about Megha Manav's impending shaadi.
So the darkness all around him, the silence of the night re-instated that fact, of Mohan's life submerged in darkness, but as soon as he got off the bike, all around him bulbs lighted up throwing him into a shock. And then those enchanting words
"Aji sutey ho"
Fell on his ears, he lifted his head in shock to see Megha standing there, with her hair down, surrounded by the same strings of light.
Those words combined with the spectre/vision of Megha all but put a spell on him, his instant widening of eyes was an indication towards the very same. He was spell-bound, gripped in the unreality of that moment. That's why he immediately lowered his eyes to shake him out of that supposed trance, after shaking his head, he even looked towards Vyas house to see whether the words "aji suntey ho" had come from there but he found that house dark and silent as the night.
Mohan again looked up and saw No Megha there. That's when he became sure that the previous moment he had experienced must have been an illusion, manifested by his own mind's wandering.
You know that feeling naa, when we want something to happen, with all our heart, we yearn for that, then our subconscious minds sometimes get provoked enough to make an illusion appear in front of our eyes of that very same thing which our heart is pining since forever.
So Mohan's shock depicted the very same feeling, of him experiencing unreality because to see Megha standing on HIS own terrace, asking him
"Kaisa lag raha hai hamara ghar"
That was exactly what he had dreamed of since for soo long. He had always confessed to Megha with the hope that one day she'll confess back and then Megha will be his, so obviously Mohan must have dreamed and fantasized about the kind of life they both would have together. So that was his dream coming true, returning home to a Megha standing smiling down from his balcony.
Now that he got reconciled with this fact that it was the result of his over-active imagination, he started walking towards the stairs but right then he yet again saw Megha standing there on the stairs. His first reaction was puzzlement, his forehead creased a bit but as soon as Megha started talking, asking him about where he had been so late into the night, Mohan's eyes went wide with shock. His wildest fantasies about Megha were playing out there right in front of his eyes. He looked at her, all rapt, so captivated in that moment he was. Even when Megha came towards him, talked about his open laces and all, he remained as if she had cast a spell on him.
But right when she said
"Kyun ke muhey tum aisey hee achey lagtey hou"
He got so overcome with the shock of that one line, to absorb that jolt of astonishment, his feet moved back of their own accord. It had been a heavy night for him which hadn't at all prepared him for such an event coming his way so though the stuff of his dreams was playing out in front of his eyes, yet his disbelief pushed him back and to shield himself even more his hand lifted to his mouth, to absorb his shocked silence.
Tears started glistening in his eyes. Tears are always a sign of a person deeply moved by something. Till that moment in time, Mohan had all but accepted his fate, all about Megha seemed like a loss and effort gone in vain to him but right then, his world and love expanded and suddenly everything started looking worth the effort, it seemed like he had gained something. Because that elusive happiness had come to embrace him after sooo long, his tears started coming out, he shook with the intensity and surprised joy of it all, so overcome he was that he didn't know how to express himself. No words escaped his mouth but every extreme emotion naturally needs an outlet to express itself so Mohan's came out not in words, but through those tears sliding down his cheeks.
His being captivated in that moment again became apparent when Megha turned suddenly and started walking away, Mohan instantly unclasped his arms from around his body and a small sigh escaped his mouth..that clearly meant that he didn't want that moment to end.
Right then, Megha turned back, and confessed her love, which dealt Mohan another one, leaving him stone-stunned!
Right then, when it couldn't get any more bewitching for Mohan, Megha threw herself at him in a tight embrace. Well the BG song "Meri Adhuri Kahani" must have rendered all there was in that moment, to you. It was like a page was torn out of time and space, where only both of them were suspended, Mohan and Megha both lived an eternity of their love affair in that very moment, in that very embrace. Their souls had been pining for that very moment when their stifled emotions, lying dormant so far would come out of their slumber and smoulder the subdued flame of their love to burn through.
Hope you had a pleasant and sweet journey, fortunately all of the above has brought to us this happy occasion! So here's wishing Mohan and Megha a Happy Fun-filled Sangeet, full of of all the gaieties that had been missing from their respective lives and that they both waited an eternity to get.
