Loved this topic. Though the moments were so subtly played out in the epi, each of them was so striking in meaning. ❤️
BUT Ishu hv bcome his epic most weakness and also at the same time she IS his epic most strength too...!!!
This line..so true. I believe someone cannot solely be your strength without being your weakness as well. The presence of that person in your life makes you strong, but that same person not being there renders you weak which is exactly the case of Raman. He is a strong man in himself, otherwise how could he have risen again after the pain Shagun inflicted on him years ago? But emotionally, he had been a broken man, someone who couldn't quite pick up his relationships back the way they were. Not only was he estranged from his son but he had been completely disconnected with his daughter. And that's where Ishita is his strength, she helped him pick up the pieces of his life and brought back his belief and trust in those relationships. She gave him back his family in short. She gave him that chance to connect with Adi again even if it hurt her to see Raman with Shagun during that picnic incident. But exactly, he should have been happy to spend time with Adi again but that happiness was eclipsed by the fact that Ishita wasn't there to share that moment with him. Just goes to show how vital her presence is to him now especially in the marking moments of his life. He needs her there for it to feel complete.
Raman is literally awed by her, I think what's more beautiful in their bond is that there's not only love but a genuine admiration for each other. He may not voice it often (that's debatable because someone has been heard uttering the phrase you are amazing' quite a lot😉) but the thing is he feels it. Even in that previous epi, when Ishita raised the Raksha Bandhan matter, it was clear Raman hadn't even thought of it simply because he didn't think it could happen. But Ishita surprised him by talking of it, it was as if she had no doubt it was possible, so much that seeing her confidence, he perked up at the thought. Again Raman was struck by how this woman could simplify out the most difficult things and make it look easy as pie. Your title perfectly describes the feeling Raman has for Ishita, she's his dil ki sukoon. The one who untangles all those messy parts of his life and re-arranges it into one neat pattern without even looking like she's trying to. That's why he had that happy relaxed smile as he contemplated the plan and thought to himself aloud that Ishita thinks of every single person in his family. Something which never fails to move him however many times Ishita does it.
But then after trying to get Adi to come, he finds out he won't after all. It was not only the disappointment of a father there, but I believe that of a husband too. He knew that Ruhi alone wasn't waiting for Adi, but Ishita was excited as well, enough to go and learn how to prepare sweets just to please Adi (one more thing that he had to taunt her while it very obviously touched him). When he came into the house, after preparing himself about what to say, the person he addressed himself first to was Ishita and he had such an apologetic look on his face. He couldn't meet both Ruhi and Ishita's eyes. He tried explaining but immediately sensing it was difficult for him to, Ishita herself spoke up making excuses about Adi's absence to Ruhi. That silent convo between them, I so loved it because it showed how independent of words their relationship is. Like Ishu sensed his dilemma, Raman sensed Ishu was trying to make Ruhi feel better. The grateful appreciative light in Raman's eyes and that little thank you highlighted for the nth time how much Ishita's goodness struck him, how her ability to solve his biggest problems did really make her his strength and the fact that she asked nothing in return, only made her more precious and special to him.
The pic you chose, the best one to show how fulfilled and happy a man Raman is. He had his family in front of him, smiling and content, and that moment was made possible only thanks to Ishita. You said it, without her, it would have been incomplete because in his family she was at the centre, the pivot that kept his life turning in the right direction. Everything good in his life ultimately led back to her. Basically, Ishita is the keeper of his happiness and Mr. RKB knows it.❤️
