"Kya tum hamari Rinki se shaadi kar sakte ho?"
"Have you lost the plot?" Shagun objected
Then, Ishita started her mini-speech which lasted a good 7 minutes...She tried to make Mihir understand how she and Raman had started their marriage on the basis of friendship, and how this marriage between them could be the turning point in his life...coz they have been friends since long..."maybe yahi tumhari zindagi ho"...On the other hand, Shagun kept trying to dissuade Mihir 'Tum aisa kaise kar sakte ho Mihir? Yeh poori zindagi ka sawaal hai...Yeh shaadi nahin ho sakti..."
"Dil tumhara bhi toota hai...main bas koshish kar rahi hun ki do toote huey dilon ko jodke complete kar dun" OKAY, THAT BIT WAS A BIT TOO MUCH...but I liked that she persisted with it...
"Dekho...main jaanti hun ki Mihika ke baad tumne kisi se shaadi karne ka nahin socha...par Mihika jaa chuki hai...uski shaadi ho chuki hai...woh ab tumhari zindagi mein aa bhi nahin sakti...ab waqt aa gaya hai ki tum zindagi mein aage badho"
"Aaj ek mauka hai ki tum zindagi ko ek doosra mauka de sako"
And then the next thing she said, I kept bobbing up and down, agreeing to EVERY WORD...
"Mihir..yeh tumhari galti ki hai tum hamesha hamare saamne rahe...Hum har jagah groom dhoondte rahe...par tumhare baare mein kabhi socha hi nahin...shayad hamari hi galti hai...magar tum dono ek saath bahut khush rahoge...main tum logon ka future sochke bol rahi hun" Mihika was crying by this time, Okay..I DID feel a little bad about it, coz at the end of the day she was married to the creep for her own twisted reasons...and not because she wanted Ashok's money and was out of love with Mihir
Shagun objected "Kisi chhodi hui ladki ka haath thaam loge" Raman got furious at these words, Bala restrained him
"ISS AURAT NE APNI AUKAT DIKHA DI...AB TAK RINKI KI HI TARAFDAARI KAR RAHI THI...ab usi ke khilaaf khadi ho rahi hai?" Ishita yelled at her...LOVED THE NOSTRIL FLARING-EYE WIDENING-DIALOGUE DELIVERY UNDER GRITTED TEETH SO MUCH!!
Anyway, Shagun blabbed a lot some more nonsense...Mihir stopped in his tracks...he dropped her wrist...he turned to look one last time at Mihika...she was teary-eyed...Bhalla ji approached him...Toshi approached him and hugged him...Mihika looked like her world had crashed...Mihir nodded his head, agreeing to the marriage...Shagun looked like rotten tomatoes...Vandu clutched Mihika for support...the Bhallas walked towards the mandap...
Mihir - Mihika last intense staring...EVEN THIS GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS, despite me rolling my eyes at the nutcase...What a scene...Mihika and Vandu were already standing beside Rinki...at the mandap...Mihir went right there and stood beside Rinki, held her Tujhe yaad hai...jab hum pehli baar dost bane tab se lke ab tak hum sab ki zindagi mein kitne changes aaye..purane log gaye...aur naye log aaye...lekin in sab ke beech bhi hamari dosti kabhi nahin badli...Raman bhai aur Ishita bhabhi ki shaadi mere liye ek misaal hai...ki shaadi ki sabse zaroori cheez DOSTI hai...sabse acchi buniyaad hai shaadi ki..tu mujhse zindagi bhar ka dosti ka rishta nibhayegi? Will you marry me?"
The lady nodded, said YES...Mihir looked HAPPY...Ishita TRUMPED over everyting else...Vandu looked at Mihika understandingly..Well..no matter what your intentions are, in the end actions DO COUNT, Mihika...Im sorry for you, but am glad Mihir wont pine for you and waste six yrs of his life like Raman Bhalla did
"Yeh tum kya kar rahe ho? What's WRONG with you?" Shagun rounded up on him
"Shagun, what's wrong with YOU? Tum meri life mein matter nahin karti ho...tum KISI KI LIFE MEIN MATTER NAHIN KARTI HO"👏..."Meri sabsi badi galati yahi thi ki maine dobara tumhen apni zindagi mein jagah di"
"It's a FRESH, CLEAN start..mujhe yeh start karne do Shagun" Yay Mihir, GO FOR IT!1
Shagun called Ishita some funny names...called her 'chalaak' and all...even I WAS LAUGHING AT THIS WORD... 😛
Ishita replied in a befitting way, "Nahin Shagun...main CHALAAK NAHIN hun.. main bahut bewakoof hun...maine socha tum sudhar jaogi...sabko zindagi mein ek doosra mauka milna chahiye...maine sabko convince kiya...maine apne PATI se ladai ki...TUMHEN ISS GHAR MEIN LAANE KE LIYE...par tum waisi ki waisi rahi...Tum jaisi auratein naa DESERVE hi nahin karti second chance...tumhen yaad hai hum tumhen kahan se leke aaye the? Kacchre se uthake laye the tumen... MAINE SABKO CONVINCE KIYA TUMHEN ISS GHAR MEIN LAANE KE LIYE..Par tumne kya kiya? Tumne iss ghar mein sabke emotions ke saath khela...Apne bet eke emotions ka fayda uthaya...uss bechaare ko toh yeh tak nahin pata ki uski maa ne uska istemaal kiya...uske aadhe psychological issues ki wajah tum ho, TUM...tumne hamesha iss parivaar ko todne ki koshish ki..Raman ko mujhse alag karne ki koshish ki..."Tumhen maaloom than naa Amrita kaun hai? Tumhen maloom than aa Nikhil ek fraud hai? Lekin tumne IS LIYE kisko nahin bataya taki tum mujhe neecha dikha sako...tum KIS TARAH KI AURAT HO SHAGUN???"
Romi stepped in...with Puri...threw him on the ground... "Papa ji..Bhai..yeh hai Shagun ka bicchhoria...isi ne Amrita ko chhupa ke rakha tha..."
Puri confessed...Shagun tried to call Romi a thief
"Haan ki..ki hai chori..magar kiske kehne pe chori ki huh? Maine CHORI Shagun ke kehne pe kit hi..."
"SACH BOLNE KI HIMMAT HAI TUM MEIN?' she challenged him
Romi kept quiet for a few seconds, Ishita tried to convince him to tell the truth.. " Iss jaisi auroton ko badhawa de rahe ho tum Romi...Galat cheezon ko badhawa de rahe ho...tumhara parivaar tumhare saath khada hai"
"Sahi keh rahe ho Bhabhi...mujhe pehle hi himmat kar leni chahiye thi..Shagun ne meri majboori ka bahut fayda uthaya...aap logon ko yaad hai mera accident hua tha? Usmein ek medical problem ho gayi thi...jiski wajah se...MAIN AB KABHI BAAP NAIN BAN SAKTA"
Ishita looked shocked..IT HIT TOSHI THE HARDEST...Raman and Amma looked shocked too...Toshi ji approached him "Kahin aap logon ki beizzati na ho...ki main baap nahin ban sakta...isliye...Shagun ke kehne pe iss doctor ko 5 lakh rupaye di...jo who leke bhaag gaya..."
Raman hugged him tight...Aly is SUCH A GOOD ACTOR...He can speak a few lines and those expressive eyes of his do the rest of the talking...LOVELY FIND, EKTA👏
Raman turned to look at Shaggy, Singham-style... "Ab isse pehle ki main tumhen dhakke maar ke bahar nikaal dun..GET OUT"
"KAMEENI ..NAAGIN.."🤣 Toshi slapped her hard... "Jaakar usko phenk aa uss kachre mein"
Mihir said - "tumhara ab yahan koi apna nahin hai" when Shagun tried to gain his support...
PRECAP - Ruhi and Adi entered at the same time (HOW AND WHY THEY SHOULD COME TO THE VENUE AFTER THE APPOINTED TIME IS BEYOND ME) Ruhi looked LOVELY! Adi saw Raman throwing his mother out...The look that Raman and Adi shared gave me GOOSEBUMPS...Adi looked like his world crashed around him...I could be wrong, but for a moment, I felt he was looking at his father, as if to say, "You didn't do the right thing Dad" Raman turned his back on Adi, even as Shagun turned to look at his reaction seeing Adi stand there...it was symbolic of the fact that Raman will NO MORE show sympathy to his vamp mother foR HIS SAKE...
Im sure Ishu wont let father-son be separated forever...and if that DOES happen, then I can foresee a future track where the show's taken a leap and beta has come for avenging his mother's insult...
P.S. Ishita spoke a good 17 MINUTES OUT OF 22-23 of the slot...Though I wanted to tear some of my hair today, I was relieved that her long-winded speech ATLEAST GOT SHAGUN THROWN OUTTA THIS HOUSE...AND THAT'S ALL I CARE ABOUT AT THIS POINT😛
P.S. I loved the fact that despite everybody calling Ishita mahaan and samajsevak, she continued to do things her way...smiles and calm galore..Usne Mihir ko FORCE nahin kiya, lekin usne Mihir ko tab tak samjhaya jab tak Mihir ne khud faisla na liya...Smart move...
