Great Episode. In Kasauli track, 1st UD track post leap, there was lot of drama as there was a moving on phase of AK (with lot of back and forth), and Abhir's father truth reveal was pending. AbhiM then had a strong grey shade with temple confession, post- truth reveal rage issues, and AbhiN's insecurities in custody battle.
With most of issues out of closet, with AbhiM changing for good in Kasauli, I do not expect much drama. Now, focus is on subtle emotions of the characters ( AK, AbhiM, AbhiN, AR). With AbhiM changing, it will become difficult to choose between AbhiN and AbhiM in times to come.
AbhiN: I think the promo of AbhiN leaving was about his emotional withdrawal rather than him leaving physically. Let's see! I had a doubt about AbhiN leaving ( 50-50 chances), as even when AK was not his wife (only a coparent), he had emotionally withdrawn but never left physically. He stood there withstanding all the pain. Hence, the idea of him leaving without telling AK was out of character for me and also upsetting as it would hv been unilateral decision. AK during temple confession had said, 'वो मुझसे पेहले discuss करते है |' and that was a sign of respect he has for AK. Him doing otherwise would be sign of impulsiveness, and kind of disrespect of AK which are not character traits of AbhiN.
Yes, I do not expect AbhiN to be superhuman. I still would understand if he leaves due to emotional distress in that moment.
AbhiN' s realization: I liked how he realized that his negative self- talk, easy influencibility is making things tough for AK. 'और मै बिगाडता रहता हूं |'. If he keeps this thought with him, I anticipate him playing somewhat strong partner of AK, henceforth.
His agony was beautifully shown with silent BGM in those scenes. I also loved how AbhiN- Abhir got the same flashbacks after truth reveal. Abhir saw the same scenes when he came to know about AbhiN not being his real father.
AbhiM: AK knows AbhiM in and out. Every word she said, was right about AbhiM. He was imposing his feelings on Abhir. Abhir is just inquisitive but he is not in pain. It is AbhiM who wants Abhir to know the truth, more than Abhir wanting to know the truth.
I felt, he manipulated (not itentionally) AK with his false logical arguments and AK fell for it. He is still impulsive, but by being controlled impulsive he convinced AK that he is no more impulsive.
AK was right. Abhir needs to grow a little more before he understands the dyanamic of relationship. The consequences will be huge, for Abhir, for such a early revealation of truth. He will still know the half truth that AbhiM is his father, but will not be told about white day. Without white day, AbhiM is much better in many ways than AbhiN in eyes of Abhir.
For Fun: AbhiM said, for sake of junior he, AK and AbhiN would need to together for lifetime. That thought itself was so unwanted for AK. She was so happy in her tiny Kasauli home of 3. She recognizes AbhiM's rights but at the same time she knows in his presence she will never hv her happy hime.
AbhiMMata wants AbhiM, AK, AR to be togetger... This Maa- Beta duo amaza me with their ideas..😛
AK predictions: I anticipate AK to move to Birla house in future for sake of Abhir and AbhiN convincing her to do that. I do not know why but I want it to happen. There was one scene where she held herself back from stepping inside the house when Abhir was pulling her to go inside. AK will go to Birla house for Abhir.
The cross: When AK- AbhiM conversation happened the mirror in background showed a church cross sign. Was it to give a feel of confession (AK feeling bad that she hid truth from AbhiN) or it is starting point of journey where AbhiM is going to get the happiness that is written in AbhiN's account?
However, I always hv this question. What makes AbhiM happy? I hv seen him rarely truly happy. Rather I hv seen him happy, content for a long time time in Sharma house. Even when AK was with him, he was only intermittnly happy. Will him getting Abhir and AK back would make him happy? I don't think so. He just imagines so..that by getting certain thing/person in his life, he will be happy, which will not be the case.
