Such an IshRalicious epi last night. Still under the spell of it. <3
That first scene with Ishita getting Ruhi ready and Raman looking on, one of my favorite moments of the whole epi because they looked like such a perfect family there and they are one. What had started with 'Ruhi Ke Liye' as a deal has now turned into a fully fledged marriage. One which is a partnership in the truest sense. When one of them is hurt or even slightly troubled, the other feels the pain, what greater sign of love is there but that?
I think if we go back episode by episode, you can point the gradual changes in Raman one by one. It was a slow process because before being able to fall in love, let alone love but before being able to trust again, he needed to heal. He needed something/someone to close those old wounds and make him feel the goodness in him exists still.
To destroy Shagun n Ashok,he ws also bcoming like them..!!
This line, so so true and exactly what I'm talking about. In trying to take revenge, to get back at those who hurt him, Raman turned like them. He became ruthless, unfeeling, and whatever feelings that came into view, he took it as a weakness and suppressed it with greater force. But finally, he found the one that healed him: Ishita. Just like medicine sometimes tastes bitter but ultimately make you feel better, Ishita was a thorn in his side, someone he couldn't stand but had to if only for his daughter. I guess he didn't know it then but Ishita had already become the driving force behind the change in him. She got him reunited with his daughter, made him realize Ruhi was his flesh and blood and he deserved her love as much as Ruhi deserved his, enough for him to want to fight for Ruhi. Ishita was basically the one to crack down those barriers and re-acquaint him with the man he really was, someone capable of love and care, in short of feelings. And he realized way back, when Ishita talked about it being hard to forget your first love and he felt that pang of jealousy, that she was no longer only Ruhi's mom but his wife. No wonder he's so protective and possessive of her, she's the light which drove away the darkness from his world and he knows that he needs her now and forever.
Time and again Ishita proves to him that she's different from Shagun. Not that he compares, like he told her, she's not even worth Ishita's nail. Raman hasn't gone back to the guy he was before Shagun, that's not really possible and I don't even want that. Where before he had been the sweet trusting guy whose every word oozed love and attention for his wife, here even his love comes with gruffness and that's infinitely more beautiful and touching. How? Life has since then taught him too much, broken him down, has made him used to gauging people before he hands out his trust. Which is why his love for Ishita is infinitely stronger and more precious because despite all that, she has earned that trust, worked his way through his heart, made her place there permanent so that he knows nothing can steal her away. His gruffness-interlaced love is just a sign of how sure he is of her place in his life. He doesn't need to sweet talk her to keep her happy. She's happy with him just like that. Isi liye toh he keeps saying she deserves kharoos kumar, not because she does but because he knows him being kharoos or not doesn't affect Ishita's view of him. She might berate him always for being mean but she doesn't think he is mean, as indicated by her smile whenever she says so.
How cute was he calling those people to show her sarees and wait for her for two hours to select one? It was just his way of showing how much he appreciated her keeping that vrat for him. He was pleased and yet the concern about her staying hungry had him anxious for her to come and eat the apple. Aw, RKB, there's no one better than you is there?β€οΈ And he told her not to choose Kanjivaram, lol! Kya hua Raman? Ab tak bade madrasan madrasan bol rahe the, now suddenly telling her she's a punjaban and should look like one? Muah just for that!ππ³
And Ishita! I don't think Ishu looking beautiful yesterday had anything to do with her dressing up. That constant smile on her face, the happiness so clearly visible in her eyes, the fact that she now feels complete, the beauty, the glow came from that more than anything else. When she admitted she was doing it for Raman, there was no hiding her feelings there. She was the wife of Raman Kumar Bhalla and everything that can do good for him, however minute, she is ready to do. The way she was praying for his success in the pooja, her face so alight with faith. Her every action speaks of her love. She took less time than Raman to heal, even though her pain was no less, because she had Ruhi before but with Raman, all the remnants from her past were put to rest. Like you said, everything now starts and ends with him. Raman has surprised her at every turn and keeps surprising her. She realised his worth long back but the little things he keeps doing, they again and again remind her he'll never cease to do that just like yesterday when he thought of gifting her the saree.
She hasn't undergone fewer changes than Raman. She who has always been an independent woman, with Raman, she lets go simply because she can. The trust and love she feels for him makes her capable of completely relying on him, knowing he'll make things right. With everything she lets him do for her, she acknowledges the right Raman has on her. And just the same way, everything she does for him is acknowledging the right she has on Raman. The simple act of wanting him to choose the saree for her is just another example of that.
It's amazing how attuned they are to each other. I saw that again when Ishita lied that she would eat something so that that he would go. She could have outright told him she wasn't going to break her fast but she knows Raman, he would have argued and bugged her to eat. She knew the only way to reassure him was to lie and settled for that. That little gesture of keeping her mouth shut, it was soo cute, lol! As if it were a secret between them, one of paramount importance.β€οΈ
You know these two are such competing souls! Like they have to outdo one another in how much they can do for the other. π³ Ishita keeps a vrat and Raman can't stand it, he has to bring the saree shop to the house, not only that Mr RKB also needs her license back at any cost on the day. The score was 1-2 last night and will keep switching between them forever because they are just that much dhakkans in love. And I love them for that!π³
This becomes one of my most fav posts and the song is just so perfect again! Loved it!β€οΈ
