The Beast Palace : The 'Tik-Tok-On-The-Clock' Couple
Hmmm'..
Picture this. One fine day, someone walks in through a revolving door, straight into your life like a meteor ' the person dives into your life's ocean of secrets , pulls out your heart and puts it up for free public display. How are you going to take it? We all have private places inside , where we allow no trespassers ' those places are too pious and virginal to be desecrated.
The above given scenario happened to both Maddy and Rishabh ' and they both reacted and acted according to their individual personalities.
Rishabh entered Maddy'S life like a hurricane and snatched away everything and everyone that was precious to her. Maddy's emotions, her feelings , her heartbreaks didn't matter to him. After all, he was the devil in disguise. Rishabh totally ruined Maddy's little marzipan and sugar world.
Maddy , at the first given chance struck Rishabh hard where it hurt the most ' his heart. She counter attacked him at a soft spot where he cannot take the pain , where her every word drowns him more and more in alcohol and traumatized hysteria. She used his most precious and sensitive memory against him ' knowing what it would do to him, maybe even feeling it but choosing to hurt him for the sake of mother's homour. Why wouldn't she? Rishabh is just a wild boar raging in a jungle. So, how does it harm Maddy's conscience to become a devil in disguise? Maddy ripped open all the septic wounds of Rishabh.
Isn't that what these two soulmates are about? Grief, mutual destruction, war, bloodshed , heartache ' all the adjectives you can think of to describe what the human heart fears the most ' pain.
Contrary to the arrogant and overconfident look on Maddy's face yesterday, she was hurting inside , fighting back her tears while she forced Rishabh to say sorry to Paddy. No, she wasn't smug over her victory or basking in the sunshine glory of having defeated Rishabh. It was an extremely emotional moment for her where for the first time, Maddy had been able to break at least one icicle in Rishabh's ice palace and was restoring her mother's honour. Her eyes never left Rishabh's face as tears rolled down her cheeks ' she knew it was tough for Rishabh to bend but she had to push it. She did. The sentiment , the emotion that showed on her face was of a player who achieves a goal when everyone believes he/she cannot. It was all about emotion for Maddy ' that one overwhelming moment when she managed to control and maneuver Rishabh but not unaware of what must be going on inside him. Yet, firm and determined that Rishabh will deliver the apology that he has promised.
Maddy may not say it but somewhere , she does hope that someday Rishabh will be sorry for everything that he has done ' that he will come and tell her that he is sorry about all the injustice that he did to her. Or else she didn't need to add that line to her subdued taunt to Rishabh when he was apologizing to Paddy's furniture ' Whom are you apologizing to? To yourself for all the crap that you have done to me?
Paddy and Roma are right in their own places but they are complete strangers to Rishabh and Maddy's story and what is between them. Paddy was not OTT ,man. She was just being a proud courageous fierce mother. Roma was just being Roma ' aggressive and reactive. Don't forget , you are not going to worship the man who has not only 'bought' your daughter but is a 'monster' as well.
Paddy does have a point, though. One day Rishabh will be sorry for everything but the twist in the tale is that by the time that day comes, Maddy will not care two hoots about his 'sorry'. She will care about him and his suffering, want him but he will close up again by that time . With Rishabh and Maddy in picture , their equation will always keep on changing dynamically.
Rishabh? These 24 hours have been like a punch in the ribs for him ' emotionally traumatizing , psychologically disturbing to the extent that he should have been adhered to tranquilizers immediately. This abnormal aggression , suppressed emotions , volatile violent reactions are an 'illness'. Rishabh's problem is much bigger than what Maddy and others perceive to be beastly aggression. There is a schism in his personality ' he is actually two people ' one, the arrogant scheming calculative superstar and two, a 12 year old traumatized boy trapped in a time capsule. How can his mother , BittuG cannot see that what Rishabh has is a 'problem'. He needs help ' not disaster management.
Rishabh is still like a child , in many ways and that open vulnerability comes out when he is drunk or touched by some gesture of goodness. Maddy actually maneuvers him like a baby brat at Paddy's house ' tackling his mood carefully , directing him like a teacher ' do this, do that , look here , say this, say that. And he complied ' because he had made a commitment to her.
Maddy is Risbabh's prosthetic additional organ or something. Even when he comes back after becoming a laughing stock and gossip fodder for chawl people , he holds on to Maddy's hand. And Maddy? She keeps her promise of being his nanny ' of taking care of him right from a glass of water to guarding his life. The moment he trips, her hands go to hold and support him. Rishabh may be drunk but he is not untouched by her soft side that he has seen so many times ' that is why he looks at her. Maddy may not know what exactly hurts Rishabh but seeing him like this doesn't make her happy. She looks back at him because she cannot look away from him ' infact , she is always looking at him when he is not being beastly and a wild electron. Maddy was disturbed by Rishabh's state by the time BittuG took Rishabh to his bedroom.
But hey! Rishabh takes Maddy's goodness and help as 'sympathy' , so he had to push Maddy away and rush back to BittuG who is nice to him because he is paid for it. Maddy may box Rishabh's ears now and then, hate him and love him at periodic intervals but she will never leave him ' Rishabh doesn't know it and even Maddy doesn't know it ' but she is his shield. She really is.
Rishabh and Maddy's individual scenes in their rooms where Rishabh breaks down at the memories of his father and how lost he is inspite of having won the world ' where Maddy misses her family and thanks God for being her backbone . One symbolizes weakness and heartbreak. The other symbolizes strength and hope. What a contrast. Little does Rishabh know that he is not alone ' Maddy will protect him from him. Little does Maddy know that she needs all this strength , not to defeat or fight with Rishabh ' she needs it to bear the trauma of falling in love with Rishabh and above all convincing him that she will not abandon him like everyone else . Above all, to convince him that her feelings are of selfless love , not mercy and sympathy as he thinks.
Rishabh seems to have lost trust in Maddy after she behaved like his female version, adhered to blackmail, unfair gaming and arm twisting, humiliated him in front of the whole world. So, the first thing he wanted to see in the morning were the newspapers. He is still in the apology zone of last night and this disturbia is only going to mount his temper. He hates the sight of his nanny Maddy who is standing at his head ' mujhe lagaa toast ko butter toh aise lagaa rahi hai jaise abhi Rishabh ka munh pakad ke thoons degi aur paani bhi pilaa degi. But a little awkwardness is setting in ' Rishabh has no qualms in touching Maddy- infact, Rishabh ko toh Maddy pe haath saaf karne ka mauka chaahiye. That is why he doesn't remove his hand from the glass even though its over Maddy's hand . Big deal! Main haath nahiin hataaoonga , tu hataa! At least Rishabh ki killer look Maddy se yahi bol rahi thi.
Maddy has to keep fighting with Rishabh , if she doesn't , she will succumb to his passionate intensity.Its so obvious.
Oho , jaate jaate faile hue raayete pe comment kaise na maaroon? Pictures chhapp gayeen ' Rishabh ki private memory public property bann gayi aur Maddy ki truly lag gayi.
Precap do baar dekhoge to believe karoge ki Maddy ab abhi zindaa hai. Maddy is lucky that Rishabh didn't break her jaw and give it in her hand. But then, he can do worse things , right? Stop watch starts again tomorrow as Rishabh lovingly call his biwi to come running to the hospital in 24 minutes'..
Well, darlings. Its Tik 'tok-on-the-clock until one of them collapses and the other stops the clock to bring the other one back to life.
I keep saying it and I will say it again. Let Rishabh fall in love with Maddy first. If Maddy succumbs to Rishabh first , her life will be an even worse hell where he will turn a shade darker because for him, it won't be love ' it will be sympathy , mercy served to him in a begging bowl.
Love and luck always to all,❤️
GOD bless everyone.🤗
