This episode wasn't quite where I was expecting the story to go, but chalo I'll play alongπ
Babita surprised me by actually ending up blurting the truth of the fact that she avoided HS last night cuz she isn't comfortable with the new rishte and new things take her time to adjust to. We are expected at this point to not question why she agreed to get married if she didn't feel ready to take on new rishte. Okπ......
HS didn't question this point either....because he is in supportive husband mode who wants to overcompensate right nowπ.....so very nicely, swallowing his hurt as always, he tells her it's all good ji.....take your own sweet time jiπ.....Mahaan Hanuman alertπ. Jokes apart, it was nice that he still atleast questioned why she lied needlessly....and asked that atleast they maintain honesty b/w them if nothing else.
Barring the line about honesty, this didn't feel like HS as his real self....this is HS placating Babita....this is the HS who can't bear Babita's tears or seeing her in pain so he suppresses all his own emotions, human feelings, reactions to constantly acquiesce to whatever she asks for......he's playing a role....rather than being himself.
Babita then decided to do some role playing of her own as seva karne waali wifeπ....which is why she served special naashta and chai to patidev as he comes back from work.....when she said, "Shaadi ke KUCH toh faayde hone chahiye" π€£......did she realize the irony behind her own words? LOL so she is trying to compensate for the fact that she can't give him companionship, but can serve him food and bring him a towel? π......I guess this is the basic role expected of a wife in society? Seva hi dharm hai......and HS itne mein hi khush ho gayaπ.....
It's just funny to me.....yeh sab toh yeh dono shaadi se pehle bhi kar rahe the....she literally served him food almost every other day....khaana toh mil hi raha tha.....bas towel new haiπ.....iske liye ki shaadi dono ne? Isse achha toh inka HS style live in hi thaπ.....atleast they still talked without playacting and putting on appearances.
LOL@ Babita telling him she's being honest with him when she tells him she will only eat with Mini.....she is still determinedly keeping him seperate from both of them in the guise of "honesty" and HS is just playing along......this appeasement strategy is also not the way to go IMO.
And then there's Mini.....adrift in her own way. As expected, Babita guilt-tripped about what the Khuranas must be thinking of her after what she said to them....lol so she doesn't want Mini to go see them so that they don't think of Babita as a bad mom.....lol......and HS again asking that just like him, Mini also blindly agree to everything Babita asks for, anything to give her khushi.....lol
I was hoping for a proper HS-Mini convo first before the ice thaws....but yahaan toh avoid kar ke sab surface normalization mode mein aa gaye hain.....HS has turned the entire focus onto what Babita thinks, what Babita wants.....everything has become about only appeasing Babita.
Today's NB gyaan focused on a different angle....again, she is the voice of the writers....with the way she spoke of Mini internalizing her pain when HS was all upset about Babita being stressed. She took a moment to remind him that he too didn't abandon his flesh and blood despite how much pain they caused his mother, so how can he expect the same from Mini?
The line of the epi has to be, "Rishton ko ek dusre ke khilaaf mat tol, Hanuman....pata nahin kab kaunsa palda halka pad jaaye".
HS is getting carried away in trying to appease Babita....in a sense, in his own way, he is doing what Mini used to do.....lol trying to make it about himself as some kind of sole protector of Babita against the big bad world.....and in doing so, he's measuring everyone over whether or not they give pain to Babita.....even his very own Veer Balika....that's where he's starting to lose perspective a bit....so it was good that NB reminded him.
I'm wondering if he's again seeing his mother in Babita and trying to protect Babita because he failed to protect his mother....somewhere there is an overcompensation going on.
They are all definitely struggling in their new roles....and I still feel candid convos are needed rather than these convos that are avoiding the real issues. Until they can all feel free enough to be their real selves with each other, it's just role playing going on here.
Precap seems like Mini is gonna try stricter measures with Babita since Babita insists on escapism....so since HS is probably sleeping out in the hall again, I guess it will be back to midnight convos for HB? π
