@Soapbubble...hey thats bad!!
Hello! I is back! π€aren't we all in Kriya Heaven! π
Just a few thoughts on what I think is Krishna's frame of mind.
I don't think that he is thinking anymore of 'betrayal' because simple fact: she HASN'T betrayed him. What happened with the whole meltdown was that he came to terms with a truth that devastated him, something beyond the immediate reaction to Creepy Angad Abducted My Pratigya aspect. And that was: Pratigya did not love him, she did not marry him because she had hidden feelings for him, she married him because she was harassed into doing it. If he's feeling anything at all, it's that he has no rights where she's concerned. He's UPSET with her, but not necessarily angry.
When he held her back, I felt he was equally responding to her desires AS WELL AS HIS OWN. He didn't want her out of his presence - simple. A little step forward from earlier when he genuinely didn't want to look at her because it hurt. ππ He still won't look at her, but he looks FOR her - with the whole lot of them surrounding his bed, he looked at the door when she stood at the porthole. Instinctively he held her hand - it was a mute gesture that wasn't even thought out. It was just... like... don't go. stay.
He's by nature a very assertive man, so that impulse held
out. π³
The next morning, although he was still numb and not really FEELING very much,
it pleased him to see her lying there. "You're looking tired, I shouldn't
have stopped you," he muttered, revealing that it was at least partly for
his own sake that he caught her hand. The 'haq', the right he exercised
unthinkingly the previous night he tried to back away from now. Wouldn't you
have done the same? she asked him. There's a difference, he told her. Subtext: I
love you, I am compelled by reasons beyond myself but you don't have that
compulsion.
It's upto her now to convince him of HER compulsions. Tell him she won't leave his side in spite of hideous in-laws, constant hostility and landmines everywhere she steps. Show him, like he showed her, one incident at a time. Becuase that's what Krishna did, didn't he? Everytime Pratigya (and all of us) expected him to turn tail and revert to his upbringing he surprised us by supporting her β by being loving, fair and SEEING where she was coming from β every time.
I've said it before, I'll say it again β this is one helluva love story.π
