First of all. .Beautiful caps. Captured all my favorite bits in that scene.
I loved the episode. How the built up with the first scene when Rudra just walked away not able to answer Paro, because he was not sure what to answer. Should he give a name to the relationship? And then Rudra-Dilsher conversation. I love it when Dilsher encourages him to have umeed. It all started with Dilsher for Rudra. So it makes sense that Dilsher is giving him the push at each stage.
And then the terrace scene. It was a very emotional scene for me. The discussion about the moon, sharing their experiences and finally Rudra talking about his mom. So he has wholeheartedly started trusting Paro. What was in his subconscious is coming out. In the hope that this relationship will be what he never had in his life. The love, family and normalcy that he craves. He directly tells her he wants to share his pain with her. Now right there was a love confession from him IMO. Of course a more direct one would come later, but for now he has let her into his heart. I guess Paro got her answer.
And the part when he asks her to sing..Sigh..All I can say is - Ashish đ You nailed it and lead us all into Rudra's heart there. And from precap - that scene is not done yet. I am waiting for more!
The last part where they show Mala and Rudra in the same frame. That gives me goosebumps just thinking about how their first meeting would be now.
Story is moving forward. Rudra is moving forward, which could be for the time bring only before he is thrown back to where he started. But still something in him might change forever and he will find the strength?
