If the shoe fits...-17th february

The episode starts with Neeranjan Agnihtori's manipulation of Astha. hloke does not want her to change anything in the room and Neeranjan tells off his baccha for playing the spoilsport. He does not tell Shloke off directly but his son does get the message and he stands with his head bowed down🤗. On the other hand Astha falls for Neeranjan's manipulations and is very happy regarding scoring a point. When she was showing off to Shloke, he shakes his head in exasperation. Neeranjan declared that since it is the women who run the house, so the right to decide regarding anything pertaining to the house is on the women's shoulder and that they have more right than men. Very good...Of course Anjali has the maximum say in the running of the Agnihotri mansion😳. The house carries her name and she takes all the decisions. Who said that Neeranjan controls her, he only guides her so that she does not lose her way 😡. Anyway, now since Astha has got the green light to do whatever she wants in the room, she decides to nail a bed sheet as a curtain separating the big room into two so that each will have their own space. Shloke comes in and looks in confusion and points out that there is already a curtain present. Now this time I can understand baby bear's confusion... why pin a curtain when already a curtain is present. Actually a door is also present. Wonder by nailing a curtain whom is Astha trying to convince? Shloke or herself?🤔 I mean regarding maintaining their own space.😛 Anyway Missy honeypot manages to nail her finger and baby bear makes her sit down and starts bowling with full concentration on her injured finger. Astha watches with a wishful look while baby bear is so engrossed that he did not realise what he was doing. Slowly it sinks in him and he looks up to see Astha gazing with a questioning and longing look at him. He hides his slip by telling Astha that why does she undertake activities when she does not know anything about it. Although it seems that he was indicating towards the curtain but him noticing her longing look might also mean that he is indirectly hinting towards not venturing in areas that she has no clue about. After Shloke walks off Astha tells herself that she at least now knows that Shloke is not a bad person. Circumstances changed him and that she will see to it that she sets him straight before she leaves the house. So Astha did get Shloke's message.

After slipping in front of Astha, Shloke pays a visit to his room of burnt memories...the memories that he is refusing to part with and the memories that he keeps on revisiting. On entering the room he looks at the mess on the floor as if he is searching for some particular memory that might help him to overcome his slip. He picks up a half burnt picture of a girl and gets a flashback of Swati telling him that how can he love anyone when he does not know the meaning of love. Then he picks up a half burnt card which has the wordings of sorry and let's talk and rebuild our relationship written inside. Shloke's subconscious self is searching for true unconditional love while his conscious self keeps on reminding him that ether another person will not love him because he is bad or that he is not capable of loving anyone. It is his fear that is keeping him visiting the room and it is the same fear that stops him from taking a step forward...what if Swati was right? Lost in his own world he hears the music of the diary that Astha has opened to get more insight into Shloke. He closes his ears and tries to shut off the music because the diary has the secrets that his subconscious self carries. So this noise was what was making Shloke uncomfortable even when he was knocked off by high fever🤔. Shloke goes in search of the source of the music and Astha realises that Shloke is on the lookout for the diary. She hides it in the nick of time and when asked by Shloke that whether she has seen any diary, answers that she hasn't and with a knowing look asks him whether it is anything important. Although Shloke negates her enquiry by saying that it is not important, but he cannot forget and is irritated that why Swati's memories are bothering him. The more he is pushed the more will he will have to face his memories. He has to deal with them and not ignore them. He has to let them go and not keep them as reminder of his pain, one that he also himself scratches to keep alive. Anyway, Astha asks him whether he is ok and he blasts her off for showing sympathy. Astha gives him an understanding look and ignore his outburst by telling him that she is going to get something for him to eat since he must be hungry. Left alone Shloke grumbles that he wants her to live him alone and go away for ever...he meant Swati but it is him who is not letting Swati go.

Astha goes in front of the idol of bappa has a heart to heart talk with him to clear her confusion. This chat is in contrast to the one that her sasuma had with bappa. Anjali's talk revolved around her loyalty and slavery towards her husband and did not have the wellbeing of her son. In comparison, Astha's talk revolved around wellbeing of Shloke. She has now officially accepted project baby bear and wants to help him get over his past. She also does not believe that Anjali does not know anything and believes that Anjali might not want to tell her. That made her decide to look out for another candidate and she finds one, I mean the one who was shown in the precap. Incidentally this candidate was looking very scared regarding telling Astha about Swati.

Now comes the most entertaining part of the episode...Shloke trying to rile up Astha and Astha knowing what he is upto and deciding not to pay attention to Shloke's antics. Which leaves baby bear confused as to why is she not taking the bait and deciding that something is cooking in her brain. I liked the way Shloke's inner kiddish self was emphasised upon in this scene...when Shloke peeps in through the glass pane his reflection in see on the mirror in Astha's room. So whatever he was doing is due to the actions of the inner child that resides in Shloke. Shloke was also thinking through his attack strategy...her makeup...followed by the picture frame of her family and then her bum😆.

I am going to end this write up with another lost soul...Kalindi who is now adamant that she is going to look for suitable groom for Astha. She decides on some unknown person residing in some foreign country and wthout even knowing this person is adamant that this Karan is better than Shloke. What is her problem? Is she scared of past repeating itself or is she angry that Astha has chosen Shloke over her? By the way where does this Karan live in UK? I want to pay him a visit and want to give a whack on his head for even thinking of taking away honeypot from baby grizzly bear😡.

"again his past came to the forefront indicating wats coming our way..Astha was thoughtful n not hurt knowing abt his past..she s kinda aware abt Swati..bt wen she will come to know wat actually hpned wth her..she will help Shlok to come out of his past n move on...

wonder in this process Shlok will fall for her?? does this also mean tht Astha will bring back Shlok's true nature and return Agnihotri's son to them..whether this s wat CVs wanted to hint wen Astha told Anjali tht she will return everything to them which she has got from them wen she will leave their house after 6 mnths.."

These were the lines I had written in one of ur threads Myra after watching the V day interview scene episode...n today Cvs clearly told tht this s d path they r going to take now...For shlokie to fall for ashta he needs his heart fixed, he is still.. lets say "crowded" with his own problems..

Wat a wonderful episode it was..clearly showed Astha's role in Shlok's life..Astha has got one aim now..her pet project.."Return Shlok's happiness" i loved her lines today when she said I will bring all d happiness back to ur life, heal ur pains n then leave.n staying wid u is my first step towards this..." now the journey ahead s going to be emotional as well as interesting..yup, very interesting, will love to see more emotional scenes, avinash and shrenu are good at that..

v already got a trailer today of wats going to come our way..Astha has now understood d reason behind his bitterness..so now she has upper hand in this game...it s getting difficult for Shlok now to keep his mask on all d time n it slips smtimes..the same thing hapned today wen Astha hurt her hand..Shlok couldnt help bt tried to tend to her injury..he was so involved in tht n after sometime when he realized wat he was doing..he snapped back at Astha..he dsnt like to show his weakness n emotional side to anyone...n especially to Astha...n wen tht happened, he put his mask of rudeness back on n snapped back at her...bt there was no evilness or hatred in tht scene..this makes me wonder whether he has realized tht it was Astha who was by his side d whole time he was ill..yup dont think he has realised that, or else he would have reacted the same as with the medicine, refusing her help...ther was some chnage in Shlok while dealing wid Astha..hmm, he is still trying to bugg her as always anyways..I jst loved tht scene n there s some level of honesty between these 2 now..first step towards forming any relation in future..

.n Shrenu's expressions in tht scene...lovely...Astha as if understood his soul hidden behind this wall of bitterness..she can now see through his actions n read his mind...the pain which she felt for Shlok was evident at tht moment..pain for him tht he had to be this bitter coz of some tragedy hapned in his past ..Astha has decided to return all d happiness back to Shlok..make him live his life again n then leave...so that she can live peacefully with her own heart..tht she could do atleast this much for d person she loved truely n deeply..I guess in a way now she has accepted tht she had to leave after 6 months n has also accepted tht Shlok dsnt love her..she knows he cares for her..bt dsnt love her...ther s some maturity in Astha while dealing with Shlok..this entire episode of Swati has also made her grow tremendously..Ashta desnt convince me she wants to go after 6 months, while saying she must stay with him to make her plan, she was quite satisfied and justifying her inner desire to remain with him...though i would love for her to leave if he will not me shown remorcefull abt his treatment towards her..

On the other hand at d end of these 6 months..Shlok's life is again gonna get upside down..Shlok by tht time will be so dependent on her emotionally tht he will not bear the fact of Astha being separated from him...I always looked forward to have emotional bonding between these two..during these 6 mnths, this s wat gonna develop between these 2...

Later Shlok was as usual in his mood to irritate Astha...he tried all d methods bt all in vein n our Shlokie baby was rightfully confused...Baby..ths s jst a trailer..picture abhi baki hai mere dost..

the diary scene was also good..so this diary s musical..wonder y v dint hear so loud music tht day wen Shlok was ill n Astha was reading tht diary...now thts d reason y he was so restless wen she was reading the diary n calmed down d moment she closed tht it..thts coz of this music...this shows tht how deep his pain n his scars r..this music could make him restless even when he was unconscious...its gonna tk a lot of time for Astha to completely heal him n bring him back to normal..yeah, the disconfort turned into a music now that he is awake..creepy thing anyway, this attachement is resulting very consuming for baby bear

Astha had narrow escape today..phew....she has to be careful while reading tht diary now tht she s living in Shlok's room..bt wat was d need for Shlok to go in swati's room in d first place?? if those memories hurt him so much then y??..whether those memories r there so tht he gets reminded of her betrayal n continue to hate female race ..or part of him still believes tht Swati was not entirely wrong n his mind s still not fully ready to accept tht Swati really betrayed him...he is unconciouslly hurting himslf, and yeah he isnt ready to accept he has made a mistake and was betrayed

i dint like Kalindi today at all..y this woman cant even wait till the period of 6 month granted by court is over??..she s in for a rude shock wen she will realize Astha's changed feelings towards Shlok...wonder thts d moment when Astha n Kalindi'd bond will be broken??i dint like the scene either, and yes i also believe this an ham mother-daughter relationship

all n all superb episode..n i m really really looking forward to this track...Swati s going to be instrumental in bringing Ashlok together...hhmm,not exactly the ghost but more like ashtas hard work to achieve her dreams and solve her projects😉

superb work Avinash n Shrenu..u both rock together as Ashlok n v love u a lot..
