Misleading title..haha... As there is an overall dragfest going on, I'll be sharing my POV reg. many of the latest episodes, not just today's.
1. The trio dance: I generally ff the dance sequences in the show, but AbhiN, AbhiM and AK dancing for Abhir was supersweet. They were just parents, nothing else. Looking at the trio, more than future ship ( I m open to any couple ship), my heart was thinking more about Abhir. I do not want him in the situation where he has to choose between his parents. He should get all three with one father figure becoming the guardian. The angel deserves all the love. At the same time, I do not want him to be fed with decision. He should be presented with facts unmixed with the pain associated with it in each of his parents heart. Even Abhir is going to make a journey after truth reveal and that should be his.
2. AbhiM: There is something in the air of Kasauli, it makes person comparatively calm.. Jokes apart, I am really liking AbhiM's overall conduct in Kasauli. Just before, coming to Kasauli he had made call to the lawyer reg. the custody case impulsively but after coming to Kasauli, I see him in overall restraint. He also managed his mom quite effectively, thinking more about his son than his Mom. Coming out of influence of Manjiri, is going to be AbhiM's first step towards self- healing.
However, I did not get why he hid the letter written by Abhir from his parents. I do not see any bad intention in that at all. But I did not get logic of it. He was so furious that AK took Abhir to kasauli without his knowledge, and not involving him in the decision making. AbhiN and AK made all the efforts to keep him part of the equation that time, but AbhiM just kept the letter info to himself, and thinking about possible solution to it alone and watching his son go through pain. AK should be the first person to know the reason why her son is in so much pain.
Even though, I liked AbhiM making space for himself, in Abhir's life, which is his right, I do not understand why he would like to uproot his own son from a complete family? When I think of this point, I feel that he is still selfish somewhere.. He wants it all.. I feel that AbhiN strongly wants AbhiM to be the coparent, but AbhiM is fine not having AbhiN part of the equation.
3. Ruhi: Ruhi's transformation is a bit drastic from a sweet but spoiled kid to mature one. However, she is still under the impression that her Poppy is soon going to be her Papa. When she gets to know the truth, will she remain the same mature one? AbhiM is managing both kids well recently. However, I do not see him having a foresight about how he is going manage the relationship mess that he will create due to Abhir's custody battle.
4. AbhiN: I like his presence. Because, he gives a contrast to the relationship AK and AbhiM have. The contrast is nice to watch and I am finding both beautiful in Kasauli. I want AbhiN to remain part of the equation, till this track ends as he going missing or dying would take away the contrast. I want AK, Abhir to choose what they wish in his presence and that makes their choice worth. I also like how he is aware of his weaknesses. Knowing the weakness does not mean he will not be weak. In upcoming track, we might see weak AbhiN again, but he knows it.
5. AK without help: As abhiN said, that AK still would have fought it out in his absence. He was right for having that perspective because AK never asked his help. He kept helping her. However, it is difficult to imagine AK being able to fight it alone that time. There is a huge difference between AK of today and AK immediate post leap. AK has healed so much since then that she is able to live with her ex in the same house, without getting much affected. I remember her pain when AbhiM had visited her house for the first time. Even if platonic, her relationship with AbhiN has brought the strong side of her out. Kairav post AbhiN's release had said, Ak pehele aisi nahi thi. I feel that it is AbhiN effect, so for me AbhiN's help matters.
