Quote of the Episode: Happy Endings Depend on Where the Story Ends
If you look at fairy tales, we cherish them a lot because of the happy endings they promise. The princess gets the prince and they live happily ever after. But do they? What if the story were to continue? Would they truly be as happy as they proclaim? What if they were to go through a new set of struggles? Would their relationship actually survive?
In Garv's proposal, he's offering Titli a lot of hope. Yes, she might have encountered bad experiences before, but she hasn't experienced them with him. And truth be told, there is truth to what he's saying as well. They haven't gone on this journey together so they don't even know what's awaiting them. They'll only know if they take that chance.
Now, had he been a different man, we would all have pushed Titli to take it. To not let her past overwhelm her present and future. To not deny or forbid herself from falling in love. But given the fact that it's Garv... loll, well, Titli's right in staying away.
am reminded of one of my favourite quotes I came across accidentally.
so similarly, happy endings provide the same kind of relief to audience; everyone is aware that not everything is tied in a neat bow especially when your reality is rather difficult but seeing happy endings gives one hope that things can work out nicely.
however, that said, not all happy endings look the same. as you grow up, you realize that sometimes a bittersweet ending can also be happy but it is up to the audience and their maturity to accept it.
for example, the last samurai movie had a bittersweet ending where we lost pretty much all these characters we loved. but it is one of my favourite endings and something I remember among the countless movies and dramas I have watched.

was it fully happy? not necessarily so. but like the narrator says, "he found a small measure of peace" and sometimes that is what true happy endings are about. not the absence of future conflict but the characters finding a resilience to keep going and so you are left with the knowledge as a viewer that these characters you have enjoyed will be fine regardless of what happens.
