Bepannah~ My thoughts ~ep 109. 16.8.18 Destiny dance to my tunes!
For some, Life is about waltzing around, events, circumstances, people. All means to get to what and who is predestined for us. For others it's also about making one's own destiny ,taking headway that which is already predetermined for us, especially if things are not going our way. Making destiny to dance to one's own whims and tunes. To me the episode teeters on either submitting ones self into the hands of fate, or fighting to change the course of undesirable events.
Changing dance partners is about dancers jumping through the hoops of establishing new, different contacts. Through unexpected experiences, three paired dancers, go through the motions of beat and time. Are led into seeking and finding their misplaced dance partners ordained by fate for them. For all three dance pairs, Anjana/Harsh ; Noor /Arjun; Adi /Zoya to coordinate step together in time, is far from easy. Adi nearly gets to Zoya. They bump into each other! Only to be split by Harsh and Anjana. This relates to an imbedded opposition in senior Hooda's hearts for Zoya and Adi getting together in real words. This then is one upshot of destiny Adi has to accept or fight against his family. However he does make destiny dance to his tunes, works on the brisk moves of the dance on the dance floor of life. Cheats the course of events in a manner that it's Zoya who lands in his arms not his mother. His foul, ensures the pairs made for each other, end up together! All this bending of games rules, so he can find out more from Zoya regards what she thinks of Arshad and marriage itself.
Adi's impatience knows no bounds. His love yearns for Zoya's prompt reaction. She senses his haste and repeats for the tenth time, she turned down her fathers idea of marrying her off. As fate has it. Adi's reins of impatience need to be bridled and Arshad's tap on Adi's shoulder just that! The scene is most baffling to watch. From Adi's eyes, this man literally takes away his woman out of his arms. Worse still, Zoya places her palm in Arshad's out stretched palm willingly. As far as Adi can see she stands him up! can Zoya be blamed? For as far as she can see Adi is her best, dearest one and only friend. Surely Zoya does see the manner in which his face falls. How he leaves crest fallen. But then again, after a few whirls and twirls, with Arshad which Adi never gets! She leaves Arshad too as her duty calls! Professionally she has to see to the events management too. So she was not fobbing Adi off! Merely showing him there is a time and a place for everything under heaven!
In Arjun and Noor we see the carefree, playful, hungrily stolen moments of togetherness akin to young love! how precociously Noor dares him by calling him a coward! To which Arjun vows to kiss her before the evening is over! She teases and then evades him! leaves him love smitten! How their young love differs from whatever is going on between Adi and Zoya.. Arjun and Noor are free from past emotional baggage that Adi and Zoya carry.
Anjana gets briefed by the hospital that Sakshi has escaped. what lies in store for Anjana? Her fun is spoilt. She'll deal with the medicare later. Her first priority is to beef up security outside her house. But then destiny in the shape of Sakshi already hides in the parking lot waiting for Adi! The man who will take her captor Anjana to task! Meanwhile her predicament remains in gaining access into the house. To confront and expose the whitewashed mistress of the house.
Seems Arshad is not a gate crasher! After all but an invitee of Zoya herself. He compliments on her event management and gives her the title of one who spreads happiness! But Adi is far from happy to see lofty lambu as Adi nick names Arshad dismissively! Chatting his Zoya up!
Adi takes it upon his hands to make destiny dance to his tunes. Picks up on feelers from guests and literally takes them over to liaise with Zoya over their forthcoming events. The scene reminds me of the time when Pooja uses to promote Zosh events and roped in clients for the company. She acted in Yash's interests. Today Adi in all sincerity praises Zoya's efforts wants her business to flourish! The woman he sees destined for him! Anjanas friends admire Zoya's, event management. They go as far as naming Zoya as superwoman. Adi beams at that. But Anjana downgrades Zoya's value by upgrading her son! getting Zoya hired is all due to her Adis discerning. Her son has the potential to change dust into gold! Adi is the sun! which relates to light. That which makes clear, all things hidden by darkness. Anjana's, so to speak dust, Adi will turn into gold dust some day only time this reality shall be exposed before Anjana !
It's significant that Anjana reflects that for her, both Zoya and Sakshi are two irritating thorns lodged in the flesh of her conscience. She tries to get rid of them. Yet both Zoya and Sakshi continue to prick her with their closeness to Aditya, her son. They live with her like her guilty conscience. Zoya is in Anjana's face, courtesy of her son Aditya.As for Sakshi she is about to cross Anjana's threshold. Is Anjana's doom predestined?
Talk about making destiny to dance to his tunes! Adi even fibs! Vinod wants to see Zoya outside! It's a polite excuse to snatch Zoya away from Arshad like he did earlier, when Adi was about to dance with Zoya! Adi fights fire with fire! Makes a statement before Arshad, gently drags Zoya well out of Arshads company into the garden to have a quiet word about the same marrying Arshad topic!
If she has no time for him then Adi creates time for them. He is clearly agitated and her understanding defies her as to why he cannot see that she is in the middle of conducting the in progress anniversary! Its clear that due to consistent interruptions during the event she only gave him bitty answers to a matter terribly significant to him. She tries to fob him off again.. they'll talk after the event is over. But Adi clearly has had enough !and I think Zoya begins to recognize that. she has to calm her best friend. She confides that she made her thoughts known to her but he failed to grasp what she meant. For some reason Zoya fails to latch on to his questioning eyes. Adi clearly wants to know how she feels about him? but then again Adi prefers not to be too vocal either, about his real feelings for her. At one point he sees a ray of hope of being more than a friend to her.. its when she admits that both have been deprived of fun moments ,happy experiences in their previous lives. Seems that providence made way for them, to enable them to share what they missed out in their lives before. She gives sincere but emotionally distant reasons.
In all honesty, Zoya impresses upon an expectant Adi ,that she appreciates his persist concern for her happiness. She values his anxiousness in her being thrown into marriage against her will. She tells him, his deep interest in her up coming career, also goes far from not being noticed by her. That she knows the truth behind his recent weird behaviour. Adi hopes for more from her. Finally! Zoya stops beating about the bush! Zoya narrows it down to how she views it. That its all because he thinks of her as his best friend! Adi's face crumbles. This is not how he sees her. he loves her. Yet Zoya fails to see it..
The question remains, can Zoya not tell by the way he has just acted before Arshad that Adi may not just think of her as a friend only? Is she trying to back Adi off? it's hard and mystifying, for me to accept that Zoya of all the people seems to want to hurt her best friend in this manner of covert rejection.
So shall I thus assume, that when Zoya tells Adi that she has gone along with Arshad s suggestion that as Arshad too doesn't force himself upon her, perhaps that they should give themselves a period of a fortnight to gauge whether they hit it off or not. That Adi will accept this as a plausible solution to the problem Zoya faces. Zoya clearly thinks, Adi as her best friend, would not want her to rush into things. Rather cautiously, she explains to him, this was the best option she had ,to yes to Arshad's idea. This way it will cause least emotional disturbance to her father , to Arshad and to her his best friend.
Adi is speechless by her words. What of the disruption she has begun in him?? Zoya runs back to the house to see to the arrangements. Her words beat against his heart. She raced to the airport.. just to tell him, he was her best friend she would never want to lose!
Just as well Adi didn't force his feelings upon her. Perhaps this destined delay is brought about so Adi can read the sadness in her words, that yes she has experienced love. what Zoya failed to add is that she was badly betrayed by the man for whom she thought she was the only. But she was not. Adi needs to build Upon the strong friendship bond she talked about. Who knows her friendship may blossom into love for him? only time can tell. Meanwhile he needed to share the emptiness of his heart with someone.
Arjun and Noor gather Adi's dispirited persona. The scene is poignant as I see Noor and Arjun's views as two sides to Adi's personality. Noor voices the brash side of Adi.. bit of a loser, when it comes to professing his love! time waster! as Noor states, perhaps he should have grabbed all the small chances he had during the evening! and professed to Zoya that he loved her. Arjun though is the optimist side of Adi.. all is not lost yet! He has to act well before the two weeks are over. Arjun's words, speaks for Adi's himself. Arshad can never replace him for Zoya. Adi will fight destiny to make Zoya his. Truly Arjun echoes what Adi feel . Adi will snatch Zoya from the destiny that is set to take her away from him1 and hand her over to Arshad. He will fight for his love! Adi's adrenalin gets going! Zoya will have the last waltz with him on the dance floor of his life! Hamlet53 17.8.18
Lets be sure Adi will put up a good fight this time. he has a worthy opponent on the other side. Adi needs to bear in mind,its not about defeating his adversary. Its about winning Zoya's love! Harshad and Zoya stole my dented heart...
