It must not be easy for Nishit to swallow his pride and come to see Kirti even after repeatedly being told off by her. But the very fact that he is here shows that he genuinely cares for her. He was successful in figuring out the emotions in Kirti's eyes (he always does!), but failed to identify who they were intended for. He was unwilling to listen to Kirti's demand to back off, until she confessed her love for Mayank. Or at least that's what he thought she confessed.
It was a painful chapter to read, GN. More so because the person inflicting the pain was suffering as much as the bearer. How difficult it must be for Kirti to be so mean to the guy when even the memory of his words give her strength & courage to go on when life gets tough. Kirti said all those mean things to Nishit so that he goes away from her once and for all. But isn't it a bit selfish of her to do that? In her bid to protect her heart, she broke his. Her mean words are going to come back to haunt her soon.
So Urmi & Hardiik have planned something big, and they want Nishit to give them some inside information? Interesting! Are they pitching against his creepy Chacha or Rimjhim? It could also be Navyam's company. She did seem to know the father-son duo quite well.
"‘The advice, consider it a favor returned" What favor was she referring to? Something from the past that she recollected after seeing the photo in his study? It felt like she was speaking from experience when she gave the advice to not let his guard down or show that he cares.
Nishit has swore off Kirti. But by now we all know, that's not how it works for these two. The universe conspires in mysterious ways to throw them in each other's path, whether they like it or not!
P.S. - Love this song! It is perfect for this update.
I felt it was not her protecting her heart, but her wanting him to be away from the mess that her life is. That he doesn't deserve to be in such a mess. Plus the words spoken by his mom also rings loud in her head. If she lets him come in to the mess that is her life, then the possibility of it turning his life also into a mess is extremely high, especially where the elders of his family is concerned. That would be one more cross (the guilt and regret that she invited trouble into his life too) for her to bear, considering there is quite a few she is carrying.
I agree this was painful to read. And I also feel he knows what the marriage is all about, that it is not a real one. He wants her to come out and tell him, that all is not well, to admit that things are bad at her end. But she wants to hold onto whatever little is left of her self respect.
