but that isn't the part that stirs my cold, dead heart.
It's the words he follows it up with a second later,
as though it barely takes him anything to let them out:
"So if you want to run, run.
I won't sit on the side-lines and wait for you to slip away,
like you never existed."
He pauses, thickly. Takes a second, in a way I can understand.
"I'll fight for you, El. I'll always fight for you."

Raman's love for Ishita is possessive, he wants her all for himself...and he desperately wants to be THE man in Ishita's life: her go-to person, confidante...the person who she hugs openly, or holds hands. He wants to have what Mani shares with Ishita. He wants to exercise his haq on her and Ishita to exert her haq on him(thanks aishu_divan for this 😊).
Every rejection from her has been a brutal blow to that feeling. All his actions are rooted in that feeling. Yesterday, he promised her that he was not going to stand by one corner and let his heart be trampled one more time. This now has become his junoon: He'll not let go of the one, who is his..to love and to hold.
Every single thing he uttered reflected his inner burn...his grit of not letting it go easy. He's going to fight for his marriage, his love. His Ishita.
A lot was said today, by Raman. If his speech had not opened a gaping hole in Ishita's heart, if his extreme actions and words trying to hurt Ishita for her 'betrayal' had not happened in their bedroom the previous night...if the wall of misunderstanding that stood tall in between them were not there... Ishita would have listened to the plea from his heart, felt his anguish, his desperation and understood that those are not the words of a man who is insensitive but of her Raman, who is not tied to his ex...but is suffering from the woes of his present, which is tied to her.
Both stood on their ground of misunderstanding, languishing in the pain of unrequited love.
Note:
It was a bit of too much happening too fast episode. Enjoyed the confrontation in the beginning. Rest..I'll wait to see what CVs make Mani do now.😆
