Finally Sara communicated to Ryan...

Now she may attempt to get in touch with Ian, how he reacts to her is interesting...

She did but was immediately backtracking right after! She’s confused right now- wanting to do the right thing which she thinks is staying with Ian and pushing Ryan away which is tough for her to do because she obviously has deep feelings for him.

You mean how Ian will react to Sara’s closeness to Ryan? He doesn’t know yet.

No....not regarding Ryan....

The relationship and bonding has changed now....i am interested to see how the conversation happen now...

May not be from Ian but for Sara, she has recognized she is in love with Ryan....how will she communicate with Ian...will Ian identify she has changed...

Well it all comes down to who Sara is. She’s not used to putting herself first. Even with her mom, she let her wounds fester for years without saying anything, silently keeping her thoughts to herself. Jai guessed because he knows her so well, but neither of her parents knew what she really felt about her mom’s longing for Ashutosh. Even now she wouldn’t have said anything, but it happened at the spur of the moment. She blurted it out and was immediately apologetic. She didn’t want to hurt her mom and felt terrible that she did that. And as soon as she heard what had really happened, she was willing to try with Ashutosh. She loves with her heart and soul, and does not want to be the cause of hurting someone she loves. She unwittingly puts a lot of pressure on herself because of it. Even with her best friend, Chloe she has kept her feelings largely hidden. She has never told Chloe that her ex-boyfriend in high school was dating her just so he could get close to Chloe. Sara is willing to take on hurt and pain herself to avoid giving pain to the people she loves. With Ian, she is at crossroads. She has realized she’s probably in love in Ryan, but isn’t ready to act on it simply because for Sara it’s hard to do that. It’s hard for her to just reach out and take something that could belong to her. Add to that her sense of insecurity in herself, the feeling that she may not be good enough for someone like Ryan. It has taken a long time for her to accept and believe that Ryan is attracted to her. He had to say it out loud for her to finally get it. But she doesn’t know how much deeper his feelings are for her. Would she be willing to risk everything just to spend a night with Ryan? Without the promise of anything permanent? I don’t know. That’s the journey of growth for Sara. Right now, she thinks she’s doing the right thing by staying with Ian. She’s irritated by him, isn’t sure if she even loves him, but she’s still willing to stay with him because she owes him! She owes her mom, she owes Ashutosh, she owes everyone! What about herself? But she puts herself last. That’s just who she is. Maybe her love for Ryan will teach her to be a bit more selfish. To do things for herself and not to keep the world happy because that’s just not her job. She has to keep herself happy first. She needs to learn how to do that. That’s the growth for her in this journey of love and self-discovery. Right now she’s denying herself everything she wants just because of a misplaced sense of duty. She needs to get over that.

Ryan has to go down to the path of self-discovery himself. He’s had many relationships but nothing permanent . Which is why he wants someone who will love him for himself. Too many women crushing over him has jaded him to the whole idea of love. With Michelle, he was probably ready to commit, but she went back to her husband. With Sara too he’s facing the same deal: she’s placing Ian before him. So now he thinks women just want to have a good time with him and dump him when they have what they want. He needs to be shown that he can be loved for who is: deeply, and forever. He’s never had that forever kind of love and thinks he cannot ever have it.
Both Sara and Ryan have to grow and learn with each other and for each other. Only then their love can get to the destination they need to be at.
But first, they have to be willing to admit that they’re both in love. They haven’t got there yet. They need to have a few more experiences together before they get there.

And? Any further comments?

The impressive point is the relation between Jai and Sara...they know each other and what is happening in their lives...

True! Jai and Sara are very close and growing up, Jai has noticed how Sara has yearned for her mother’s attention. Sara too has noticed some things about Jai. Siblings that are close sometimes don’t need communication to recognize the other’s feelings. But sometimes they can get it wrong too. Direct communication rather than assumption and presumption is the best however close you are!

More than her Mother's longing for Ashu in her childhood, it is getting a new person now in to the so close knit family is tough for the kids ...

Fab update.. Good that Sara has got her issues with her mom off her chest

Thank you! Yes I wanted Sara to have it out with her mom first before things came to a head with Ashutosh. She is more inclined now to work on having a relationship with Ashutosh. We’ll see how that goes!
