Hey there all the lovely people!!
I am back with a short post. DO watch the episode, it's really good, KanUm are back in one frame, in one zone, on one track.
It's said that "insaan galat nahi hote bs waqt aur halaat theek nahi hote... it's not the people who are wrong but the choices the circumstances, the situations they get stuck in define their course of life...
Kanak once betrayed twice shy, doesn't let Akshay mess up with her, she cuts down his attempt in between... her hand forced by the video evidence shared by Uma. Akshay is a character that needs more time to develop and show the multitude of layers/colors in it. He walks out saying that it was a circle of test, test that they all laid out for each other, test of honesty, betrayal and trust.
Kanak calls Uma and the long awaited confrontation happens, away from the walls of any house or office, in an open ground, in the darkness of night they sparked up bright, they stand secluded from the spying eyes, eavesdropping ears... Kanak questions his actions, his betrayal, the way he turned away from her, left her alone, not bothering for years about her, weather she lived or died, the way he never apologized or gave any reason for ditching her, breaking her heart and her trust, breaking her soul, her entire existence was around him and he extracted himself away and left her soulless... Kanak questions and Uma replies that he is he's jealous, he burns in agony whenever Akshay is around her, the way he touched her shoulder, they shared an umbrella, they way they talk, they shared a coconut... Uma burned into smithereens, the ashes of which he had to sweep every day and night. The fist that clenched, the forehead which lined in annoyance, he confessed it all, Because he LOVES her... he loves her and has loved her and would always love her.
Time must have flown away, each sunrise brought a new day but he was still where they both stood together... he could never move on, it's like his body went ahead and aged on with time, the years went by, but his heart and soul stayed back, for it somehow couldn't accompany him in the journey/choice/compromise he had to make with Meera... the confession today was the body screaming in agony without a heart, every piece of the puzzle wants to go set in its place, be done with the games, enough of stealing glances of longing, holding back in silence and burning through self... Uma holds her arms, shakes her as his facade of being strong crumbles, the hurt sweats out, he confesses his emotions, the dam that broke the feelings it would bring back, unsealing them all. While Kanak stands there taking in absorbing it all, his love, his confession, his utter helplessness on being selfish to confess his love.
