Hey Nikki
Very 'soothing' post on Raman. Your post is sober, quiet and calm. Just like Raman is feeling in that scene!!!🤗
That picture you posted looks like he's finally content. That is something we havent seen him be earlier. Like you said, he's always wished for his children to be together. He's wanted to have that family. And with Ishita's help he'd even come close a couple of times. BUT, the Rakhi celebration was like someone just waved a magic wand and made his wishes come true
The man who'd been momentarity disheartened by Shagun's denial to come to the Bhalla house was quickly cheered up by his wife who came up with plan B. Although it looked like she did that for Ruhi's happiness, there is no hiding from the fact that she also wanted to see his smile back. Their unspoken words were were clear when she pleads with him to go along with her plan, and her thanks her for coming up with that plan.
For a change, his son is also behaving like a good Boy, and his ex-wife isn't causing any drama. The Raman who witnessed his son and daughter participate in their 'first' Rakhi ceremony together was someone who couldn't believe his luck. His emotions at that time not only revealed content, but also the gratitude towards the one woman who's changed his life for the better.
Last but not the least, there is now hope in his eyes, that things may be alright after all. He's been through enough pain. He wants to now experience real happiness.
I had planned on using a different song for my reply, but the last line I wrote just reminded me of this one, hope you find it apt too.
Aye Zindagi Gale Laga Le
Aye Zindagi Gale Laga Le
Hum Ne Bhi Tere Har Ek Gam Ko
Gale Se Lagaya Hai
Hai Na
Chhota Sa Saaya Tha, Aakhon Main Aaya Tha,
Humne Do Boondon Se Mann Bhar Liya
Humko Kinaara Mil Gaya Hai Zindagi
PS: My reply is short, not because I am being lazy, but because I dont really have anything more to say. The pic and your post just made me feel so calm that my gushing also sobered down... thats a compliment NIkki, in case you were wondering 😃
