"There is no home as comfortable as your father's arms
and no bed as soft as your mother's lap."
~Faraaz Kazi

What can you write about an episode where a kid tries to hold on to her parents by tying all their hands together with a dupatta?

All she cares about is to be in the arms of her Papa and lap of her Ishima . As she has lived through the nightmare of being an 'orphan' for the first six years of her life and has experienced the embrace of unconditional love from her parents since they got the custody. So her fear, her insecurities about losing all of that and going back to the void is understandable.

And the same applies to both her parents...

...together they form the unit which has mended their broken souls...and today they each tried to grasp onto anything that gave them that hope..she tied their hands together...and her parents prayed to the greater power to grant their only wish: that their family stays in tact.

They say kids sense their parents' stress even without being told. And Ruhi is no ordinary kid. She has seen more of life and its vagaries in her 6-7 yrs of life than other kids of her age. So she knew. Her family was trying to protect her from the ugly truth till the last moment...but she has already lived through the nightmare of a custody battle so she sensed what can be the reason.

It was a heartbreaking scene of a kid throwing a tantrum to test her parents and parents indulging her in all her demands as they knew they might lose a chance of being just a parent to her. In all those exchanges came out how kids may complain about discipline but discipline gives them a sense of normalcy, constraints that teach them right from wrong. She tried to be wrong to figure out what's wrong with her parents.

Just loved loved that scene...how the family was hovering around those two kids,,,Shravu being just a normal kid...Raman and Ishita trying desperately to hold onto their tears and Ruhi's unhappy face even with all the goodies ...and the final pout and the breakdown into tears while letting them know that she wants to be with them and not her biological mother and they are giving up the battle too easily. Gosh it was just heart-wrenching to see both her and her family's anguish at the prospect that they might lose the chance of being together.

YHM writing at its best.

Note:

the custody battle seems all to rushed...Am I the only one who feels that?
This track can be precursor to Adi custody trial as Ashok's accusations about Shagun are pretty grave and her catty behavior in the court may have future repercussions.
P.S. Ruhanika Dhawan. Take a bow!👏

Not proofread as I just wanted to write down my feelings down..may not be very cohesive.

Gan, this is undoubtedly your best collage yet. I'm speechless. The emotion in it is heartwarming and heartbreaking all at once.

The second one with the kids...that scene is too much for me, so I won't dwell. I just can't. The family desperately holding back their tears and the innocence of those babies. My heart.

I love that quote; I think it transcends age - no matter how old you get, nothing quite compares to the love, warmth, and security of your parent's embrace.

I'm in love with your words today as I know they came from a very maternal POV. I can't imagine parents watching their child grow up much before his/her time and being powerless against it despite all their efforts.

***

"We're taught to expect unconditional love from our parents, but I think it's more the gift our children give us. It's they who love us helplessly, no matter what or who we are." - Kathryn Harrison

"There are so many ways a family can unravel. All it takes is a tiny flash of selfishness, a rip of greed, a puncture of bad luck. And yet, woven tightly, family can be the strongest bond imaginable." - Jodi Picoult

***

I tried to ignore it, but the longer I ignored it, the harder it became to focus on studying - so here I am, earlier than anticipated. Anyway, this has to be short and sweet today because I can't deal.

It's no secret that Adi owns a piece of my heart; I hurt for him because his parents' divorce has resulted in psychological unrest. Ruhi has been lucky by comparison - too young to understand the divorce at the time, and has had a much more nurturing environment despite being, for lack of a better term, orphaned. Today, I was again reminded that though Ruhi has had it good in comparison, it can't be ignored that this child has not only endured an ugly custody case, but that this tiny 6-7 year old soul also been forced to grow up much before her time.

As adults, we tend to think that kids are too naive to understand the gravity of the issues or environment that surround them, while in reality, they are keen observers who pick up on, understand, and are gravely influenced by our words, actions, emotions.

Yesterday we saw a mother and father face the fear of losing their child. Today, we see a child who has, for the first time in her life found familial stability, fear the prospect of losing her parents. What was heartbreaking however, was that she was witness to her parents' breakdown - and she interpreted their fear of losing her as their having given up on the fight for her before they even entered the battlefield. My heart breaks at the thought because she's been carted back and forth before, felt unwanted and unloved. No child should have to feel that way; and today, though she knows her Ishima and Papa love her, they were unable to assure her that their love would shield her from the storm to come. On the contrary, we saw this tiny soul who, instead of being reassured by her parents, is the one reassuring them. I think as adults, we complicate things more than they need be, or maybe we brace ourselves for the worst possible outcome of a situation under the pretext of practicality. Sometimes, it takes the innocence of a child to remind us that in our fret over the future, we're missing out on the moments that make today.

What came next was the cry of a desperate child to her parents as she asked for the promise of a lifetime together. Her parents came together for her, and over the months, she has been the force that has brought them together as husband and wife in a true sense. It is no surprise then, that today, she is the strength that makes them believe in their future as a family. As she initiated the tying of their hands together in a prayer that they would never be able to be disassembled from this bond, her parents came together to help her strengthen the ties, and each silently prayed for her one wish to come true. I couldn't help but think of another such time when she intertwined her parents hands together and prayed to Bhagwan-ji to help her parents stop fighting. Then, she prayed for her parent's togetherness...and today, together, they prayed for their family's togetherness. Nothing could be more beautiful...a tiny, fragile family, coming together, to strengthen their bond. The union of three broken and battered souls, who are, unbroken, and healed, together.

To end this on a light and happy note...Aao Tumhe Chand Pe Le Jaaye from Zakhmee

Aao tumhe chand pe le jaye

Pyaar bhare sapne sajaye

Chota sa bangala banaye

Ek nai duniya basaye

Pyaar ki hai duniya

Door aasmaan pe

Milke na bechede

Koi waha pe

Aishi bhi ek dagar hai

Aisa bhi ek nagar hai

Aao tumhe chand pe je laye

Pyaar bhare sapne sajaye

Chota sa bangala banaye

Ek nai duniya basaye oh ho

Aao tumhe chand pe le jaye

Gum kahan soye

Aur khushi jage

Aaj ki hai manzil

Taaro se aaghe

Dil waha roote nahi hai

Aashu to hote nahi hai

Aao tumhe chand pe je laye

Pyaar bhare sapne sajaye

Chota sa bangala banaye

Ek nai duniya basaye.

...in the days to come, I look forward to seeing this family finally build the life of their dreams.

Love.

PS: The way daddy lifted his baby into his arms today and nuzzled into her belly for a brief moment. My heart.

PPS: Ruhanika. This child is a polished actor that gives the seasoned actors that share the screen with her a run for their money. Such incredible talent. I can't even.

PPPS: Sorry this makes no sense today.

***Edit Add***

Just spent a few minutes taking in that second collage with the babies.

The scene was just so painful. Focus on Mom & Dad for a sec. RKB literally choking back the tears as he watched his baby girl accuse and cry...his heart literally bleeding at the predicament his past failures and recent mistakes have left his Rooh to face - yet again. Ishita fighting to hold back her tears as she sees her daughters biggest fear coming true; feeling helpless as a mother because no matter how much she wants to lock her baby away, safe from the storm that awaits them the next day, she can't...she can't protect her from this. My heart is bleeding for these three beautiful souls.

Gut-wrenching.

Posting the song again from the movie Aamir, both parents asking God to bless their family! My heart bleeds right now, I need a lot of time to process today's episode.

Aani jaani... hai kahaani...
The stories of life will keep coming and going

Bulbule si... zindgaani...
Life is nothing but a bubble ready to burst

Banti kabhi bigadti...
Forming, and sometimes deflating

Tez hawa se ladti, bhidti...
Fighting with and entangled in the strong winds

(Ha raham, ha raham, farma e-Khuda)
(God Have Mercy)

Mehfuz har kadam karna e-Khuda, e-Khuda
Please protect every step we take, bless our steps oh dear God

So much feels in me! 😭

---------------------------------------

Update:

OMG I love the collages, and you know they made me teary eyed, hence I logged off and took a break because someone thinks I look ugly when I cry. 🤣 G I love all your collages and write ups but this one is special because I could sense a parent's despair in every word of yours and that made it extra emotional and too much feels, so I ran away from it lol. On a serious note, perfect collage and beautiful words, transported me back to the episode. 😳

Okay enough is enough! We need to pull it together and get over this sadness, I hereby declare that none of us is gonna get sad, and if we enter the zone of sadness we need to think about the upcoming Romance between Mr. and Mrs. Puttar! ❤️

Let's get happy, let's do this!

Happy and sappy is on and now there is no turning it around so get ready for the mush fest 😳

I loved how comfortable Mr. and Mrs. Puttar are with each other, and the confidence they have in each other's parental abilities. He knew she would be able to handle Ruhi in this delicate situation so he allows her a moment with Ruhi knowing fully well that Ishimaa is the medicine for Ruhi's wound and Ruhi is the medicine for Ishimaa's wound. Similarly, Ishita has faith in her husband and in his abilities as a father, so she tells Ruhi, 'Your papa is the best papa in the world, he is the strongest, he won't let anyone take you away from us' . The way they sat next to each other caressing Ruhi, coddling her and showering her with all their love was so endearing it filled my heart with love!

The most telling scene of the episode for me was when they allowed Ruhi to tie them into a bond of love turning them into one, Ruhi initiated the bond, Ishita obliged and Raman took the actual steps of tying them together. That is family! It requires commitment, sacrifice and love from every member for the unit to be successful and theirs is a successful unit! She has faith in his fidelity, he has faith in her acceptance and they have faith in child's innocence.

A happy song of hope and dreams of their future life together because melancholy is behind us everyone! 😃

jhilmil sitaron ka aangan hoga

rimjhim barasta saawan hoga

aisa sunder sapna apna jeevan hoga

jhilmil sitaron ka aangan hoga

rimjhim barasta saawan hoga

prem ki gali mein ek chota sa ghar banayege

kaliyan na milena sahi kaaton se sajayenge

bagiya se sunder woh ban hoga

rimjhim barasta saawan hoga

Sorry G, I couldn't write about the dining table scene because of my fragile state or i'll start bawling for reals, so I chose to focus on the future track and some happy and hopeful moments from today's episode. You know I can find mush anywhere and I did in this episode as well 😆

First of all I am really sorry, I had reserved it hours back on the first page and never edited it. Esp on the first page , I am sure it would have looked bad. I was too emotional to even pen down anything of this sort 😭...

I loved the first line , nothing can get better than a Dad's arms and mom's lap. I am the only child to my parents and I could relate here so easily. I might sound dumb right now but let me get clear quiet personal and I really do not know why am I sharing it here. Sorry if it went out of track. Well mom had to go through an Abortion after I was born as the first one. So anything that goes wrong with me be it emotionally or health wise it has always been the three of us to sort it together and my parents always praying to help my wishes come true. Phew.. That went emotional..

Yesterday i noticed the insecurity in Ruhi's eyes and well said after 5 years the kid got a family, so its only like a year since she was felt being loved cared and cherished. I would still relate her to a toddler who refuses to leave his/her parents upon seeing a third person. in the case of Ruhi, she could not even force herself to stay with her biological mother. That got me to feel for her even more.

When she tied all their three hands together, Awww I lost it completely then. The scene was too heart wrenching for me.

Whatever you have written is so true. A kid throwing tantrums thinking she would be sent back and her parents heeding to every single request of hers and the breakdown was something. On the table, there were two kids one who is going through a normal life and Ruhi who is still not sure where she belonged to. Heart wise she belonged to IshRa whereas, lawfully her place was still not decided.

Yes the custody battle seems rushed but as you said in the long run we will have the custody battle of Adi which would be the exact opposite of this. We will get to see the emotional trauma of an Adoloscent, the feelings of a father who lost his child to a woman's greed and a mother who wants her son to stay with her to prove her Ex or we are yet to see Shagun's love for Adi. Yes we did get some ounce of it during the accident track, but during custody it will all be different.

Now coming to your collage, Its just lovely Emotions well captured of IshRaRu. Esp the second one the picture of Ruhi and Shravan together that speaks volumes by itself and the way you have captured it together 👏👏👏.. Helplessness and vulnerability of IshRa so well captured and the effect you have given to it is just Awww. The somber yet warming appearance of the collage makes it very apt. The first collage I don't even want to speak about. I could keep staring at the love they have for each other. The mood of the collage set their is again 👏👏..
well, I am off to admire the pictures again !!

Thanks a ton !!!!!!!

Gan you are so talented! You have again made such beautiful collages. I know your probably tired to me repeating the same compliment everyday but I will never stop complimenting you. Stunning collages, amazing quote, and more a fabulous post.

This is the second day that has drained me emotionally. I just love tracks that focus on Ruhi because we always get excellent writing and performances that give us the old feeling of YHM. RD is a star, so talented and it is not easy the role she is playing. Both Ruhi and Shravan are so cute and I loved how these innocent and cute children made a plan to test the adults.

I agree with you the court scene was rushed a little but no complaints because we will get closer to the confession( did you see the promo? I went crazy when I saw it). I want to give a special shout out to Ashok for being the biggest kameea and changing colours like a chameleon. Instead of killing him, I wanted to give him a big kiss and hug for being so fake and giving a statement against Shagun. ( I know its a first). Shagun's reaction was the second highlight of tonight. Majority of what Ashok said about Shagun was so true and I am glad someone pointed it out to the court.

The dinner table scene was so heart breaking. We have this 6 year old child you has been through so much in such a young age testing her parents. We think that children do not understand us but the truth is they understand more than we knwo . Ruhi is no different and specially a child like her who had to grow up beyond her years at such a tender age. Her biological mother left her when she was 6 months old and she had to grow up well before her age. Her father had be left with dealing his own sorrows but loved her more than anything in the world but could not show it. Then her Ishimaa walked in her life and she got the family she always wanted. Now this child is faced with the dilemma of loosing both her mom and dad. I loved how today they focused on a child loosing her parents. Yesterday we had parents dealing with their fear of loosing their child and today we have a child's worst nightmare. Ruhi's insecurity and fear is that she is going to loose her mother again and again a court notice brought her fears out. No child should have face so much at just 6 years old.

It was sad to think she taught it was her last night in the house and her parents were giving up on her. I loved how Ishra were trying to hid their tears from their daughter but both eventually broke down at her outburst. Parents can never see the pain of their child. Ruhi is no different. Ishita and Ruhi convo was sweet. I just love their bond. Raman ensuring his daughter would go nowhere was cute. My favourite part in the whole episode of when Ruhi tied their hands together and she said we are one and nobody can split us up. I have watched that see zillions of times. It had so much meaning to and so true. The reason they become a family was because of that sweet child. The common love they had for that child was the main reason for them to get married. Slowly, two hearts become one and the official become completed each other. That scene was indication nobody was going to split them up. I loved both Ishita and Raman prayed that God listen to their child. They saw because a child is innocent that God will listen to their prayers. I loved how little Ruhi's words and outburst become Ishra's strength and will. As parents we teach our children about life, but our children teach us how to live. They are innocent and haven't seen the world as much as we have. But they look at it in a different light. Ruhi saw her parents giving up on her because they were giving into her every demand. Her parents just wanted her to be happy because they didnt know what to expect. Ruhi's determination became their will power to fight. In a strange way she was the one who consoled her parents who were broken because of the court notice.

Today I leave you with some lyrics by the Guns N' roses.

Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place

And if I stared too long

I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies

As if they thought of rain

I'd hate to look into those eyes

And see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place

Where as a child I'd hide

And pray for the thunder and the rain

To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine

Where do we go?

Where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Sweet child o' mine

~Guns N' Roses
