This week has been so amazing that I'm not surprised at all to see you making topics on each one of them. I'm super glad that YHM was the show to make you do that. Loved reading every one of them and yes, your understanding of Raman is just that perfect! :D
Coming to the epi, if we've previously had glimpses of them admitting to themselves the importance the other holds in their life, last night's was the most giant step towards that complete realization.
Sirf Ishita Ke Liye
How epic is that?! You are right, I think at some point, we've all ranted a bit about the sirf ruhi ke liye and sirf adi ke liye issue but here this man has completely bowled us over with those words and made us once again realize he doesn't say or do things just like that, when it comes out, he means it. Giving Ishita's license importance over everything else just shows the long way Raman has come from the person he was before Ishita. He was so irked by Mihir's arguments about putting his reputation and business at stake, he didn't want to be questioned about it at all because for him it was crystal clear what was important. As he had said to himself during the saree scene in the previous epi, in front of Ishita's happiness, nothing else mattered. By saying family is important, he has admitted to himself that what he has now is a family in the right sense of the word, he admitted that his priorities have shifted and the reason was none other than Ishita. Profit is the happiness he gets at seeing Ishita smile and loss is seeing her troubled. For him, her smile and happiness is priceless. Bowing down to Ashok's demands, how hard must that be for a man who has spent the last six years of his life trying to bring Ashok down? He went on to say if Ashok had asked for his company, he would have handed it to him. For a license? He would really have done that without thinking once back simply because anything tied to Ishita's happiness automatically takes precedence over the most valuable of things. His anger at everyone questioning him was so stirring, almost like he just expected them to understand why he had done it and was frustrated that they couldn't. He didn't want to be explaining himself, I guess the reason being his emotions could not be easily put into words. What he was feeling could only be felt.
From the pooja scene till the end of epi, it was only Ishita the wife of RKB that we saw. Praying for his success, getting anxious at the news he had resigned and finally coming to know that Raman had done all this only for her, Ishita just showed how everything affecting Raman affected her too. So much, that the happiness of getting back her license was overshadowed by the fact that Raman had forsaken his position for her. She couldn't understand why he had to make that sacrifice because just like Ishita's license was important for Raman, his name and reputation was important to her. They are both the same in that way. That bit when she tells Romi she doesn't play games but she will play a dhamaakedaar one just for Raman, that was just soo heart-warming. Like Raman had no regrets giving up his position, Ishita was having none in playing games to get it back. JKR at her best there!
You said it, it's hard to find more to say because the scenes were eloquent on their own. Ek Duje Ke Liye have really became their anthem and I just love how they do things for each other like it's their right and no one and nothing can stop them from doing it, not even the other. ❤️
Beautiful song, in particular that line which perfectly concludes this post. ❤️ :))
