1.Third person perspective- Really loved the episode. The drama can happen even when no one is playing evil.Rather, it touches you deep than OTT drama.
Somehow, I did not get irked when AK cared for AbhiM. Today, I felt that rather than jumping to the conclusion, I should watch the journey of a character. When I watch AK as a third person, I feel that she should come clear ASAP about AbhiN and should let him know what she thinks of him so he does not get hurt in future. But, then I realized that it is easy to tell someone else how to act, but are we not slave of complex emotions in our real life. AK is a living being with very very strong and complex past. She herself does not know clearly what is in her heart.Both AbhiN and AbhiN are clear with their perspective on AK. It is AK who is not clear and is making the journey. I will choose to keep patience to know what she feels as time passes by for either AbhiM or AbhiN. It may be possible that when in future if she chooses AbhiM over AbhiN, rather than feeling sad, I may feel happy as AbhiN got free from the clutches of a fake relationship. Who knows?
2. AK's care: AK cares for even her enemies. AbhiM and AbhiN both played/ play important role in her life so she caring for either (in different ways) looks natural. Unfortunately, her care is taken by each as a sign of her feelings for them. Atleast today, I felt that AK just cared for AbhiM. It was simple care for anyone whom you know and have loved deeply. People can and should interprete her actions differently. That is what beautiful writing is about.
Immediately, after she gave blanket to AbhiM, she said everything to him to protect AbhiN from getting hurt.
3. Abhir, the proxy of AbhiN: Abhir is legacy child of AbhiN. When AK and AbhiM were kiddishly fighting, Abhir' s presence was exact same as that would have been of AbhiN. Even if AbhiN exits the life of the trio physically, he is going live through Abhir.
If Abhira happens, Abhir will become parent of two kids. I so much want that boy to kick both AK and AbhiM and file for his own sole custody by AbhiN.
AbhiM's word can't be trusted even for a night. Just before going to sleep, he said that he can live under any circumstances for Abhir and threw tantrum in the morning over breakfast.
4. Living or leaving:Many people do stay in life of a friend who they know has feelings for them. Only WISE friends exit from life as they know that their presence would hurt their friend more and would not help them move on, even when they want to have that person as a friend. TBH, AbhiM is not a great friend to have and has never heard the word wisdom. He can not think anything but his obsession which is Abhir currently. There is no Ruhi in the picture. I do not see him missing her at all. He has chosen to live with his ex's family.
Same thing would have applied to AK, but she gets benefit of doubt because she has clear intentions to live with the her FAMILY as of now and the last thing she wants is AbhiM living with her family.
5. Thank you: Thank you has remained part of the conversation between AbhiN and AK all the time. When AK explained Abhir about his superpapa, AbhiN thanked AK. Same, AK did when AbhiN was overworking himself in UD for Abhir. There relationship has started on formal note but has become semiformal with so many years of staying together. Even after ' Ashiyana' idea by AK, AbhiN thanked her. To which she said, family never says, thank you. They are making the journey from formal to semiformal to nonformal.
6. Curiosity: On the side note, I have developed deep interest in AbhiN as a character and I wish to know in future about his background. I want to have that character a complete closure and hopefully a happy ending not necessarily with AK. Living in a loveless marriage is not happy ending. AK once thought that how she can pay him back. She can, by may be helping him find his identity which he misses immensely. Then, he might realize that it is not blood relations but heart relations that matter or at least find peace with himself by connecting ' khud se khud ka Rishta'
