Good morning sisterhood! π»π»π»
The reinvestigation has been ordered. Now will this result in a new twist and close the gaps of the commonsense questions we have all been asking or just fill up days and go back to square one? π€ Ummeed par duniya kayam hai... π Until that time: Is the plastic toy gun going to sit in the cupboard between those shirts?
So chalo, Holi ka 'eve' is to be stretched like a rubber band...
The highlight of the episode was actually the minute long conversation between Virat and Sai. Keeping aside his atrocious investigation so far, his questions made sense as much as Sai's. Wish this conversation could have been had earlier. It is actually an unbelievable explanation of why Harini calls Madhuri 'Maa'... Right when Pulkit offered it (like most of us did) Sai should've also questioned. Of course, the slip up made by both Sai and Virat cannot be ignored but Sai's reason to go by instinct in such a sensitive matter is a very childish.
As most of us have said that it's the impatience and not the intention that is a problem... What is the hurry? Even if the wedding is delayed by a few weeks in trying to establish facts,would it matter? Sai's pledge in her conversation with Aaba's photo is baffling for that one reason: she has taken it upon herself to make it happen as soon as possible. This coming right after Virat's assurance that he will relook into the proofs and also a warning to wait until that time is a bit too imprudent because the fact is that Sai doesn't know anything about the past yet...
There is no denying that she is going by her instinct, which is right. But it is not a great idea to do so -- it is important to play the devil's advocate and examine things in order to ensure that decisions in such life altering issues are not impulsive. Just like she feels that the letter and the document in the college are part of a plan, she should also consider the reverse -- what if the document she saw is planted? Wouldn't it be easier for Pulkit to plant a document in the medical college rather than someone from outside? Her resolve to find 'proof' feels like a small consolation to finding commonsense answers...
Since Virat has offered to get into the details and investigate the letter after Holi, Sai absolutely must wait. It would be entirely wrong to have Devyani elope even before at least trying to establish the truth, whatever be the emergency.
It was funny how Virat opened up to the idea of getting to the bottom of the matter the moment Sai mentioned how she could call him a smuggler too π He was so provoked by the suggestion that it was almost as if, Lo, ab Chakram niwas me sound investigation shuru ho Jayega π
But Chavan saheb showed so much 'machoority' and said okay, I will reinvestigate. Waise 'aap khud ko arrest Kar lenge kya?' was so typically Sai's way of winning an argument π€£
But his kaash-thought of "Iss baar Sai mere khilaaf nahi jaye" is pertinent. It is not about one-upmanship. He is speaking from knowing that she doesn't listen -- she has fallen into trouble in the past in just going by her instinct or first reaction to information that has been shared. He knows she would not think before putting anything at stake for what she believes is right. There was a sense of worry in Virat's warnings and thought about Sai's obstinacy in the matter -- he does not want any kind of harm coming Sai's way or the accusations that would follow if she's proven wrong. Not to forget, for him it is also a question of Sai's standing in his family... He doesn't want that to be shaken at any cost. If given a choice, he would want to be on the same page as Sai-- although his leaning towards finding the truth is very weak, he will do it if Sai pushes him patiently, instead of getting into a 'i can't wait for him and I will do it myself mode'. Doesn't Virat get manipulated by his family and Vahini? He does when overwhelmed by the insecurity regarding his relationship with Sai but at the moment, he's just going by the 'evidence' he has poorly collected...
It was interesting that Virat completely changed his tone the moment he spotted Vahini --- it should have sent some alarm bells π¨π¨ for both Sai and Virat that she silently waited and eavesdropped with almost sweaty forehead at the prospect of the 'reinvestigation'. Police wale toh chehra Dekh Kar hi jhoot pakad Lete Hain but vahini Ka chehra is like a maze... Khud boojho khud jaano... In Vahini's presence Virat sternly warned Sai about the consequences and also to not overstep the line until he's done... And the warning to 'wait' has been sounded more than twice in the same conversation.
Vahini ki beizzati ki basket khaali ho gayi thi so bharwane chali aayi π ... Does she even need Sai's responses to fill her beizzati stock? Her beizzati hormones go into fluctuations the moment she stands at the door of her imaginary bedroom and watches Sai there instead... Vahini has upped her game for sure. She's using restraint in her tone and words dealing with Sai although the intention is the same -- the contempt is masked under the sweet venom act of susheelta and 'samjhana' that is meant for Virat's eyes. Vahini knows he will take it at face value but not Sai -- she was spot on. From telling her to leave matters for 'ghar ke bade' to being careful about trusting an outsider blindly -- who would find fault in such advice. And of course Samrat and Ghar ke bade are the two shields she uses for the purpose very well.
Sai should have just heard quietly and let it pass, instead of being argumentative about 'main wohi karungi jo mujhe sahi lagega.. doosre log kya sochte hain mujhe fark nahi padta...mera sar hai..' why even waste your energy with someone who you suspect is the reason behind the entire hurdle?
But it was nice to see Sai driving both the best friends out of the room π π especially after Vahini's amnesic "Maine kab Bola tumhe kamre se jaane ko?"
So aaj se, the room has become 'Apna kamra' for Sai π
But if course, delusional Didi would have loved the opportunity for another "akele mein baat Karni hai" π€¬ and with full chance pe dance ππ someone please tell me what kind of army and police jobs are these Chavans doing that they have been celebrating all festivals together in colour coordinated clothes? Inko koi special leaves milte Hain for every festival that normal officers don't get ππ
Virat's teary eyed 'Ye meri pehli Holi hogi jab mera Samrat Nahi Hoga' was so ridiculous! Has Samrat managed to get leaves for every festival and coming to join chakrams in celebrations? Virat is in his first posting so it's his first Holi for sure but the fact that he is going to be home to celebrate the festival instead of bring on duty is itself a blooper πππ kaash asli mein police ki duty mein itni chutti milti ππ
The conversation Vahini wanted to have was nothing important.... It was exactly how a deceiver behaves. She wanted to strike a conversation to replay the victim card -- to reinforce the sympathy he should feel for her. We'd never know why she actually came into the room, whether it was to check on their conversation or to really talk about Samrat -- especially since it is known she's hardly bothered.
It most likely was her crafty move to use Samrat as a cover up to her deeds -- before Virat thinks or believes (if Sai points out) that she has anything to do with the letter, he has to be distracted from the current situation to also remember that she is the victim -- she has always been a 'victim' of her fate while he has 'his wife'.
Her Shaadi ke baad meri pehli Holi hai par 'mera pati' Nahi hai... dialogue was so creepy π especially uttered in that proximity -- obviously the pati she's referring to is not Samrat. But it did seem like Virat was consoled to hear her addressing Samrat as 'mera pati' for the first time in such a conversation. He definitely misunderstood her sentence because she spoke from a general context of being 'lonely' and not for Samrat.
Also today, did Virat seem comfortable with her touching him or was he too lost in the situation at hand as well as memories of Samrat?
The need for Patralekha to have Virat's attention today came from her guilt -- not the guilt of doing what she's done but the fear that she will eventually be caught. Somewhere although she has made her case and is convinced that Virat has believed them, she witnessed how Sai was trying to make him see the truth. And if he wants, he can definitely figure out sooner than later ... Exactly what I was asking: do they think the letter will last to separate Devyani and Pulkit for their entire life?
So although Vahini carries a smug smile at the small victory at the moment -- it is not a smile the is genuine. It is duping one, which is flashed by the dead guilty... She knows she can be uncovered -- more than Virat, it is Sai who is a threat. It is necessary that she removed herself from Virat's thoughts around Devyani and the letter by playing the safe Samrat card -- her biggest license for all her deeds, and top that with Ghar ke bade and parivaar Ki izzat dialogue in front of Sai.
Usually, it would be easy for anyone to suspect but Patralekha knows she can misdirect Virat's attention to Samrat and he will not pay close enough attention to pick up her lies despite the biggest clue she's given him -- speaking of 'pati' missing on he first Holi and Sai's obstinacy about Devyani's marriage in the same breath. Along with her sudden dropping of an octave while speaking to Sai, provoking with the finest words and exploiting Sai's agitated mind for words that don't sound wise...
Patralekha's conduct in the coverup after the crime is interesting-- she can play mind games with ease. It's not just in her delusion that she does things... it's a sign that this can't be the first time she's done something manipulative and it won't be the last.
The scenes with Devyani and kitchen were evidently fillers to build up to the proof finding... But thehe college is open too it seems or is she going to sneak into the administration officeπ€? So Bhavani has given Sai chance to find the proof and bring Pulkit alongπ―? Now, is that the deviation in the story or the actual trigger to why Sai will take the drastic step? At least for once, we don't know what's coming next π

Things always come apart easily when they have been held together with lies. But a half-truth is even more dangerous than a lie. A lie will be detected at some point, but half a truth is sure to mislead the best of minds for long... add to that a dash of venom and it is almost dressed up as the absolute truth.
And sometimes, half truths are actually called "common sense" π π
Yahan wahan dhuaan dhuaan
Chhupa kahan haan gupt hai wo
Ye jaan le agar pehchaan le nazar
Sabhi bandhanon se tu ho jaayega mukt...π§π§
