Reserve. Have a LOT to say today myself.
Edited.
I am just so moved by the episode today. Just with the mere thought put into it and seeing the predicament of a child whose had to suffer so much without no fault of his.
Him learning his mother only uses him as a pawn and how he's never meant anything more then that to him was devastating. He sees the love Ruhi gets from the family. Just how much Ishita can fight for her and he too wants the same. He wants his mother to fight for him. Or anyone for that matter to want him so desperately. But all he's getting is abandonment. He doesn't want that for Ruhi. He saw what she had to go through and the family had to go through. And its nothing less than a mirror to what he's undergone. He did fight for her today and not for himself like his mother has taught him to.
I am going to be all brutal and state this. A lot of people on the forum say Raman differs between his kids, and they say its because Adi is a boy. I believe he's not the one who feels any difference. It's us who differentiate. It's how we see it and now how it exactly is.
Had it been Ruhi in place of Adi, had she been taken away by Shagun when she divorced him. Raman would have been in the same state and in the fix he is today. He is a father to both. Both these kids mean the world to him. How can he possibly want to choose one over the other. Rather I feel sorry that he's always had to choose one or the other. He could never have both under the same roof. He has never been able to have both by his side. If he's ever wanted to be with one, the other is taken away from him.
For Raman its choosing between hell or high water. Here ANY decision he makes its his loss. He isn't going to feel any less guiltier than he is at this moment.
We as viewers have always been attached to Ishita Raman and Ruhi as family. They're on the banner, they are the soul and base of the show's story and they are whose journey's we've seen all along. But Adi is as much a part of this family. He is Raman's son. How can Raman leave him to feel the way he is. At the brink of wanting to end his life?
Then again Ruhi's pain and her insecurities are just as sensitive as Adi's.
She's had severe abandonment issues too. Always pining for her fathers love, not knowing where her mother really is. When Ishita walked in her life, she changed everything for her. She made Ruhi's world complete. And now after being secure again, being hopeful again.. all that's snatched away from her in a second. And all that she's hanging onto is, her faith on her Ishima and her parents. So yes the break of that trust will hurt her like nothing else. And that cannot be ignored.
I cannot possibly gauge anyone's pain and turmoil at this moment. Raman's confusion, the pressure on him to help both his kids rise from the mess he unintentionally pushed them into. Ishita's pain on staying away from Ruhi. If Ruhi got everything when Ishita came into her life, same goes for Ishita. All she has today is because of Ruhi too. And of course I've said all I could about the kids.
It's tricky and sensitive. But like you said it doesn't look murky or horrendous. I am sure that the spoilers aren't going to be as we perceive them. Have to see how it plays out.
Have to give it to the writers for touching on such sensitive issues. Just hope over and over for them not to make these issues too dramatic for their own interests.
