“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”
― Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever
The episode starts with Mish purchasing balloons and standing near a bus. She remembers the time when they first met. Unknown to both a great story was about to start: their story.
“Shaadi say pehaly mainay courtship mail mallap ki shart rakhi thi mujay toh pata hi nahi tha kay upar walay nay meri shart bohot pehlay maan li thi. Meray liay courtship toh ussi din say shudu ho gayi thi jis din main tumhay mili thi. Tum ketki ko dhoondnay kay liay parsehaan thay hum ladhtay thay jaghatay thay shahid iss liay yay nahi dekh payay kay hum bhair say jitney different hain andar say utnay hi aik jaisay hain dono ko family ki importance pata hain. Pata hain kay apno say door rehnay ka dard kiya hota hain. Main hamesha tum say naraz rehti thi tum mujhay chadhrtay thay aur maantay thay lekin phir bhi koi ajeeb sa connection tha iss liay toh tum nay iss angry chroni ki kabi pole nahi kholi tum meray problems meray fears hamesha bina kehnay hi samaj jaatay thay. Abir yaad hain who din jab tumnay mujay kaha tha”Life ko aik chance day kar toh dekahy” Tum nay mujhay hamesha himmat di hamesha hosla diya aur hamesha meray cheary par smile bana kar rakhi. Hah tumhari poetry smjanay main kabi kabi mujay difficulty hoti hain lekin main yay zaroor samjti ho kay tum kia kehana chaatay ho. Aur aik baar main bohot achay say samaj gayi hu Abir kay tum say bethar life partner mujay mil hi nahi sakta kyun kay main jaisi hu tum mujay waisay hi accept karnay ko tyaar ho. Tum mujhay badlnay ko nai kehtay aur meri soch ko aur meray khayalon ko hamesha importance daytay ho. Aur main tumhay batna chaati hu. I love you”
I couldn’t think of a better confession. Mish says this while sitting on the roof of the bus. She recalls some of the most iconic AM moments. The first scene, the scene where he sees her in her chorni avatar, the scene where he encourages her to take aleap of faith, that cute holi scene, the scene at ketki’s wedding when she exposed Ved. Time and Time again Abir has shown his care and love for Mish through both his words and his actions and the biggest thing he loves her the way she is. He respects and values her opinion and does-not expect her to change because of him. He helps her grow by making her believe in herself he understands her fears and concerns and shows her that he will always be there for her. Mish can’t wait to tell him but sadly Meenu overhears everything. Don’t even want her to mess up the confession but I didn’t like Ben Baa’s OTT acting. Rhea though was fabulous in this sequence. Kuku have stooped to a new low. I really wish Abir gets to know the truth about the trio soon Mish really needs him by her side. For now I will just focus on that confession that setting those balloons. That girl put so much effort normally ITV shows guys doing this. Kudos to Mish for breaking stereotypes.
