Hey there all the lovely people!!
Me is back again. The sweet Uma is back and it's refreshing to see Kanak and Uma being weirdly easy with the other.
Direct to discussion.
It's in the darkest and hardest of time that the true side of people come out... Uma is happy, he is smiling, for he has found his first friend, a friend that understood him, and knows and shares his problems and make them her own - his first confession that Kanak is his friend... and he is happy that despite their relationship being over, they have friendship - a marriage can survive without love but without friendship it's just unimaginable... unconsciously Uma had stepped on the first stage of Kanak's plan for their relationship to progress... Uma takes Kanak to be his friend - but the irony of life, Kanak who is on level love is upset... because things between them can never be simple or easy, initially when Uma was all in for the marriage angle Kanak was pulling back, asking for space, today when Kanak was anticipating for more, Uma was still on level one - but it's a level nonetheless, it's progress. From being strangers they have achieved one milestone.
The day Uma made Kanak his best friend, Kanak's best friend from her past emerges ... Jai is brought to Ladno by Vansh to meet Kanak... Kanak is happy to see her friend - they have a sweet ice cream session while Uma seethes in jealousy from a distance. His fist clenched and nostrils flaring, for he sees Kanak with another man, she is laughing, she is smiling, she is playful, she hi fives him - all the things she should have done with him, he looks with narrowed gaze, that she is never the same with him - while Vansh adds fuel to his agony, that Kanak would marry jai after their divorce, jai is Kanak's equal, modern n progressive... Vansh calls jai n Kanak, the lamp and wick couple, the eyes that were averted returned to look at them, Uma looking at them with anger, at himself for being him and at Kanak for she is she, they are miles apart, one regressive and other progressive.
Vansh propagates to be modern and open minded - yet he is calling the shots for his sisters life. She is naive and innocent according to him, so does that mean she has no right to choose for herself, she cannot love or fight for a person of her choice. Vansh called the divorce angle and now he himself has decided for Kanak's remarriage, so after Uma - he who himself doesn't respect his marriage, he sent Sara to meet saraswati, he who placed appearances and attitude above his actual marriage, just because Saras is from a backward perspective family, she is not considered human... he who proclaims to love sara in front of his wife - a person who disrespects the institution of marriage shouldn't decide for others. When he can't handle his own life or wife, he shouldn't go around making things worse for Uma and Kanak.
Kanak is humming, while Uma is twisting and turning, he turns to look at her, for she had never done that before - she is chirping and humming like a bird and he writhes in annoyed jealousy... she sees him tossing on the ground, she asks him if everything was alright, he replies it's too loud, she is taken back but she gave an answer for all his problems - he should speak of things that trouble him - that he is not happy with her being frank with another man, he is jealous of that guy for he is modern, that he is unable to accept that she would marry another...these thoughts make him restless. He asks her to switch off the lights as he is not progressive enough to sleeep with lights on - Kanak is bewildered that for the first time Uma is not saying things directly, he is talking in circles and jabbing her with the arrow of being modern - he had known it since the beginning and never held it over her head.
Kanak turns off the light and walks out, Uma sits up in the darkness - that's the answer to Massi's question "that he is going to be affected by her leaving he would be left alone in the darkness, a darkness that would engulf his entire being, and he would be left alone to look through the window to the moonlight, he would be a prisoner to himself, who would watch the world and light with a longing, a regret that had he held it long and tight enough, the evening where he would have set down at the end of the day wouldn't have been taken away from him.
Ps - I being Oliver Twist was thinking Kanak would stumble over him in the darkness... and a few sparks would fly.
