Hey Sneha 😊
thanks for the reply and I got your message too about it earlier 😊See I am not saying they are gonna bring back Subu like sometime soon, but I believe they will at some point.If you remember we had this convo about Ishita' past and her story not having any prominence until now in the show in my SS - The Risk To Blossom, and I had said then - perhaps because the makers are opting for a novel-like approach here with Raman acting as the narrator, we see things he sees and knows and has lived so far, but until and unless he learns the story of Ishita' past, we wont too. Hence Ishita' story would need to have Subu in it. Even if in scenes of flashbacks.Raman believes his relationship would have completed 12 years the month he married Ishita, and he even sarcastically asks the same to Ishita when they leave to attend that valentine' day party by his friend, as to how can people sustain a relationship for that long. And Ishita just looked at him with this resignation that said - this man is such a pessimist,Can he never believe in anything?Ishita, as is shown was in a relationship with Subu since the time they were 15 - now even if they broke up some 4-5 years ago, that would make their relationship a decade long at the least, given the fact that Ishu is 30 now. She knows a relationship can survive that long - but is even aware that it doesn't guarantee a lifetime of togetherness.Raman I think merely believes or is under the impression Ishita was engaged to Subu and later on with Pratik - though that never materialized - he doesn't know she was in love with the guy for such a long time. That even she carries that exact same baggage - memories that don't abandon, dreams that never got realized and trust that was betrayed.When I say about things being out in the open - I am not saying things have to be explored in detail with attention to every memory and event - but that it is important for Ishita to learn that Raman was the one betrayed here and Shagun isn't the victim she perceives her to be. Their marriage ended because she chose to walk out on Raman for riches from another man, not because he was a sadist who abused her son, as Shagun had informed Ishita, on the occasion of her marriage with Raman. Yes, the recent restaurant apology ought a have made Ishita question the authenticity of those accusations but the makers never went there.Similarly, Raman has to know Ishita' story too, if not in an in-depth version then at least the outlines of it, he doesnt have any idea of what Ishita has went through - all he knows is her engagement broke because she is barren - and while that is true, there is more to the story then just the conclusion he learned, and unless he finds that out - however will he be able to bond with Ishita? Learn that here is a woman who has faced as much as him, and yet it hasn't made her into this ruthless person he chose to become, he would strive to better himself, if perhaps he learns that he isn't singled out here - in this act of betrayal - Ishita too has been dealt much the same hand as him.I am not saying Subu will necessarily try to win back Ishita - but their paths might cross and given that Ishita' story needs to be heard (and this is Balaji, we are talking about) I am sure they will.regarding your point whether Ishita is still hurt - yes she is. Like I said I am slowly catching up with the show and I recently started catching up on what I missed online and in the very 3rd episode of the show - the scenes of which I have posted the caps - Subu makes an appearance in the present too. Ishita is not only visibly shaken by his appearance but admits to having found someone when she sees him holding hands with his very pregnant wife in front of her - her resolve to lie becomes firm upon that moment. And later when she reaches her home, which was flooded due to a tap left open, she is shown to be aggressive and completely angry, that makes me believe she isn't over the hurt Subu caused her. She is over him - but she hasn't healed. She has just been able to have a better grip over herself.And as is said still waters run deep - Ishita is calm on the surface - but there is a turbulence of enormous amount simmering beneath it.Shagun' withdrawal made Raman aggressive - he erected walls around himself and withdrew the loving, kind man he was. Subu' betrayal - it exactly is not known what sorta effect it had on Ishita - like we already discussed - her story is still an unopened. untouched book. 😳The recent hug Raman suddenly sprang upon her - she goes slack and is shocked by his audacity not only because it was an uncalled-for and unexpected gesture - but because besides Subu, she never ever has been held by another man, not in the way Raman did at least and spoken those words too as well. And here she was by a man who barely is nice to her if at all, so that was not appreciated by her.And in case Subu re-appears, it will be interesting to see Ishita handle his return and Raman would definitely be someone to watch out for, he has lost a wife to another man - if his current wife finds herself face to face with her past - it is a possibility he may find himself thinking, dreading - that history may repeat itself with him. And that might perhaps finally open his eyes to the nature of his relationship with Ishita and how he feels for her, he wouldnt want to be with a woman he doesnt love but he wouldnt be able to be without her too, and not only because Ruhi cannot lose another mother.Something has to snap out IshRa from this - Sirf Ruhi ke liye mode - and that can be only if they learn to find the partner they both want and need in life in each other- but for that purpose they need to heal from the wounds of their past, and while none of them has succeeded in the past alone - together they would and will - but for that to happen, they have to first learn that they both carry the same wounds, are ailed by the same pain. 😳
