Opposite of love *New Update 22nd Dec Page 7*

Love



Today the episode was clearly divided in two opposites : Love and Indifference.

Two siblings are experiencing on the same day the two opposites of life. Ruhi has experienced first hand what different flavors of love are : love of her very much in love parents, love of her family supporting each other through thick and thin...she's secure in embrace of unconditional love of her family...quite opposite to Adi who has only seen the ugliness of life ..backstabbing, scheming and bartering of conditional love for personal gain...he has experienced the constant fear of losing someone you hold close to heart.

Love all the three scenes with Ishita and Raman.



One of family teasing Raman and preparing him for his big moment. The best suggestion coming from the littlest one...a simple but most effective way of showing love. And the moment Raman notices his wife in the saree of his choice (Must say RKB's choice is impeccable this time...Ishita is a vision in pink and blue today!) ...in the note he has wanted her to increase his heartbeat but it looks like he forgets breathe momentarily...and Ishita is also not immune to her dashing, handsome hubby either and his open checking her out. Both made a beautiful couple...and I'm with Toshijee...they truly need lots of her nazar utaru wishes.

So relate towhat u said as a mom. I know u are all abt Ishra but todAy maybe we need to pause and think of Shagun as a woman. Feel so pulled and sad for her.

Res...

--- EDIT---

Excellent quotes, collages and especially discussion of the episode G!

And Doc- Loved the classic quote and your dissection of the ISHRA scenes, you explained better then me why I loved that silent drive so much...😆 We actually seem to have very similar tastes I notice.😃

This was a wonderful episode all around really. To be honest I didn't really expect more from ISHRA romance then what was in the preview so I was pleasantly surprised by all the lead up to it. And even having seen the preview that scene was simply divine; love, hate, indifference, tolerance- no matter what emotion they've had to portray since the show started- KP & DT just get ISHRA and their chemistry is off the charts so much so that we can never look away!😊

I loved Raman's nervousness, his behavior up to the rescue of Shagun was so sweet it just made me fall in fall with him all over again. The excitement, the nerves, the hopefulness, the irritation, the flirting, his awe of Ishu- honestly it was like watching a man fall in love for the first time, not a once married father of two. As well, we usually get such scenes from the POV of the female lead and it was quite refreshing for me to see the male lead in this state.

The family teasing- especially that last shot where they waved ISHRA off... And the scene in the car with the secret glances and shy smiles, how utterly sweet , realistic and completely teenage love style- gawd these two...I actually think i loved this scene the most in the whole episode.

But from now on Raman should forget 'I ' start start with 'love' during his next almost confession- seems 'I' is the word that triggers interruptions!😉 Also loooved the way he look after Ishu stated they should go get Adhi- it was disappointment , acceptance, respect and admiration all in that shot. I felt like her care for him and their kids just made him fall for her even more in that moment. Brilliantly portrayed by KP as always.

I do hope this turns out to be a Adhi focused track rater then a Shagun one. Especially after Shagun cursed Ashok @ the bar, I really hope they don't go the typical ' Shagun gets selective amnesia and tries to steal back Raman and create MUs between ISHRA rather then destroying Ashok' route that everyone on the forum seems to be thinking it's going... please CVs - surprise us. We, like Ishu, just looove surprises!😆

Shagun's immediate reaction to turn to the bottle for comfort struck me for two reasons. Firstly, it worked terrifically with Raman's offhanded comment at the hotel about how if his plan got interrupted again he'd have to drink the bottle in his hands and secondly it reminded me of how Raman has the same tendency to turn to alcohol for comfort. Despite that, Raman has always made it an effort to take care of his own self even when drunk- that's the difference between them.

As well what Raman found what Shagun has not - a partner, family, daughter and extended support system who understand his tendency and do whatever necessary to help and support him through his pain. While Shagun, she has Adhi, a little lost boy who is burdened with much too much responsibility at such a young age.

I also think it is significant that Ishu has a different relationship with alcohol then Raman & Shagun- that's what balances Raman out. The idea there being of opposites attracting and balancing. And maybe that's what Shagun needs- someone that balances her out. And that is not Ashok. I don't know, just a random thought.

Anyway, I'm hoping for the best and preparing for the worst - as per usual. Hope we continue to get some super sweet ISHRA & ISHRARU scenes which will show Adhi the reality about his father, step mother, sister and the family he never knew... before the sword eventually falls again for an ISHRA 'separation'.🤢

Note: There's exactly 48 YHM episodes (6 weeks) until Valentines day/ISHRA anniversary ( yes I counted-😳) at which time I expect we will get the real and true ISHRA confession... can we hang on until then?😉

Res- My heart broke for adi

Adi:

"But the hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes. The heart of a hurt child can shrink so that forever afterward it is hard and pitted as the seed of a peach. Or again, the heart of such a child may fester and swell until it is a misery to carry within the body, easily chafed and hurt by the most ordinary things." ~ Carson McCullers, The Ballad of the Sad Caf and Other Stories

Shagun:

"Sooner or later in life, we will all take our own turn being in the position we once had someone else in." ~Ashly Lorenzana

Ishra:

"I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything." ~F. Scott Fitzgerald

"I want you. I want you so badly I can't stand it. When you left, it felt like the world got darker. Like I couldn't truly see anything. Couldn't feel anything." ~Rachel Vincent, Alpha

Gan stunning collages once again. You always do wonders, no surprise there. So much has happened in today's episode I dont know where to start. It was such a nice episode I didn't even mind the Shagun scenes. Actually I enjoyed them for the first time.

Let me start with talking about the adi and shagun scenes. I have no sympathy for her. What goes around comes around. How long did she think that she could get away with her actions. She did not once think about leaving her child and now karma has bit her in the back. I felt so bad for Adi though. The poor child had to watch his mother's breakdown. I cant imagine the burden on this child. Instead of her taking care of him, he had to take care of her. I am so glad he called Raman. Deep down inside he knew that Raman will always be there for him. Thats why he turned to Raman. He knows that Raman is his true father.

Ishra scenes were just bang on. Raman's expression said a million things. I could not stop smiling. He should take Ruhi's advice and give Ishimaa a nice kiss(dirty elves again). I did not think Ruhi's advice above her age because she has seen her parents kiss her on the check and tell her I love you. She just gave her papa the same advice she has seen. I love how Ishita wanted Raman to express his feeling yet she was not ready for. Her nerves just represented her excitement. The way they look at each just melts my heart.

I die but when the grave shall press

The heart so long endeared to thee

When earthy cares no more distress

And earthy joys are nought to me.

Weep not, but think that I have past

Before thee o'er the sea of gloom.

Have anchored safe and rest at last

Where tears and mouring can not come.

'Tis I should weep to leave thee here

On that dark ocean sailing drear

With storms around and fears before

And no kind light to point the shore.

But long or short though life may be

'Tis nothing to eternity.

We part below to meet on high

Where blissful ages never die."

~Emily Bront

Ps. Shout out to the CVs for the mature dialouge: Our children are more important than us. I loved the reality and maturity of this show.

superb episode...when shagun is pleading ashok..it reminded me of raman who begged shagun...although i hate her and thinking dat it is Karma...but as a women,my heart went out for her and poor adi..the epi is perfectly executed..one side a women once who has a loving husband and family...left them for high class luxurious life..and now she is in a state worst than a slumdog..another side,a women who is once left by her fiance bcoz of her inability to conceive..made a right choice and bcoz of her good and selfless nature..win all others heart..has a loving husband and family and her daughter ...and she is going to begin a blissful life...
after watching d Olv..we bashed how can ishu bring shagun to her home...we thought it is stupidity...but i am proud of ishita..dat is called Humanity...
adi always hated raman..but in that worst situation he called his father for help...deep down in his heart he knows wat his father is..
my heart went out for this kid..even i am not married..but a 12 yrs kid seeing his mom in such state..nothing worse than dat..
even ishra's scenes they didn't shown much...but shagun's acting and her state..taken the episode..m
