Bhavani made a passing comment to deride Sai in her absence in front of the family but it was actually the most arresting dialogue of the episode. For the first time, I thought someone should have told her genuinely, "Mast ha mast"
The dialogue: "Jahan Sab ki Soch khatam Hoti hai, wahan Sai ki Soch shuru Hoti hai".
Rani Patralekha of Maturegarh, did you hear that? You don't know Sai yet -- just as you don't know Virat and vice versa -- but Sai knows you. Not since she came to life under the same roof - do din pehle, but since YOU were not even in that house. Sai is intuitive unlike you because her brains are in the right place, Aapke Jaise ghutno me Nahi. Ji Haan, isiliye toh usne Maharashtra board me top Kiya hai. Added to that, she has instinct from the right values -- she gauged Virat's fondness for you even before there was any need for her to know who you are.
She knows your intentions. You have been so busy training your ears at their bedroom door to find a chance to see Virat that you missed out on the sharpness with which she has seen you -- right from the moment she first caught your glimpse when your BEST FRIEND had just finished filling her maang. You can wear the Persian fur cloak to hide your shivers but she can see the instability in your eyes.
You might actually think she wants to compete with you, but sorry, you are in for disappointment. She does not want any part of YOUR Virat. YOUR Virat is yours. Because the Virat she knows is the Virat you do not even know exists and would perhaps never know. Sai, without giving it much Soch, has managed to enter into that space around Virat, which you have not even thought of. And yet she does not stake any claim to that Virat either, as of now. Because that claim is not hers to stake. She will not even ask for it. It is her right, which HER Virat will hand over to her, most respectfully when both of them get there. And she will still say, "No, thank you" because jahaan aapki Soch khatam Hoti hai, wahan Sai ki shuru Hoti hai.
Just like, Jahan Aapka pyaar khatam hota hai, wahan se Sai Ka pyaar shuru hota hai -- outside the realm of the physical existence, in the space where minds meet and souls are intertwined. That's where they are going to journey. Aur aap, aap wahi khadi Dekhti rahengi - darwaaze se andar barge Karke aur pooch Kar, "Kya hua Virat?"
But you won't find the answer. Because Virat never has an answer to that question, did you notice, Ranisaheba? It is because Virat ko khud hi Nahi pata hai Kya Hua hai... But Kuch toh hua hai and the more you use your Soch to remind him ki "Kuch Nahi hua hai, bhool jao", the more he will get pulled into that Jo ho Raha hai space... And all you'll be left with is the empty case of a mannequin of Virat that you thought was the man you actually wanted.
I feel sorry for you Patralekha. You deserved the empire you wished for. Only if, you had chosen the right king.
