Abhay- Maithli : Pyaar Ki Ye Ek Kahaani
Maithli : You will always love me, right? Nobody can separate us and you will always be mine?
Abhay ( smiles and kisses her forehead )- I will always love you and am yours , Maithli. Forever and beyond. Always.
There sat a smile of contentment and reassurance on her face and she put her head back on his chest.
THAT. That is the Abahyendra Maithli remembered . That is the love she remembered. That is the promise she remembered. Time changed. She died. Abhayendra died. They both turned into vampires. Abhayendra became Abhay in the care of good vampires . Maithli turned into an evil biatch from a kind-hearted princess because she was turned by an evil vampire who fed her lies and hatred. While Abhayendra became even more human as a vampire , burning in her memory and guilt , keeping her alive, Maithli turned darker and darker in her creator's shadow , hating Abhayendra for not saving her and gunning for sadistic powers. The beautiful love story had tragic ending '..but they both were alive, still. As a living dead , yes, but they were alive. Good Abhay. Bad Maithli.
For 200 years, she let him burn, suffer , writhe in a love that Abhay made truly timeless. Not even once the thought came to her mind that she should let Abhay know that she is around and its not impoisble for them to be together. How could she? She was a cold vampire now who only connected to her creator and none else. Unlike Abhay , her heart had actually stopped feeling any emotion. She was her creator's Frankenstein.
Fed over lies seeped into her , she hated Abhayendra all these centuries but the hatred was not cold . It was deep and passionate. So, we saw when Piya tried to tell Maithli that Abhay had never stopped loving her. The hatred that she felt for Abhay was the only 'FEELING' that you could see in her. The moment Maithli laid her eyes on Piya, you could see that it was not a queen vamp sniggering because she was to get some powers in the name of dinner ' it was an old lover spitting venom at the young guileless girl who had DARED to love Abhay. She was disgusted at the sight of her good, pure, kind-hearted doppelganger who had healed Abhay's bleeding heart and taken her place. How could Abhay do that? How could he fall in love with someone else? How dare he?
As the possibility and time of being able to see and meet Abhay came closer , the subconscious fixation with Abhayendra , the deep rooted passionate and ridiculously selfish love that she harboured for him came gushing to the surface. Yes, she was with Sid as his evil vampy ally but she could not kill that Maithli in her who had died for her love. The only difference being that the innocence and purity of her love for him was raising its ugly head as a dark , obsessive pathological fixation. Everytime she looked at Piya, she only realized that she had never really hated Abhay. She was still fixated to him. The thought of this human-being with Abahy was driving her insane. No, there was no way Abhay could be with another woman. It doesn't matter how much I hurt him, cheated him , tortured him, he was supposed to love ME ME ME ME ME! That was his promise and he cannot break it , or rather he will not break it.
And Abhay? 200 years of wait , longing and suffering . For what? To see this day? Yesterday , when he had come to know that Sid and Metz were planning to kill Piya, his only concern had been Piya and saving her life. At that time, he didn't realize or even think what he will go through the moment he sets his eyes on Maithli after centuries. Talking about punishing Metz is one thing but seeing her in front of him alive and evil is another.
He saw her. Saw her after an entire lifetime and all his anger and savior mission faded away. Instead of getting angry and biting her neck off , he felt this surge of mixed emotions- a bittersweet lurch in his heart , a depression , a grieving shock at what his beloved had become. I don't think one can really put it into words that what Abhay FELT when he saw Maithli. A woman he had loved , lost , worshipped and waited for across lifetimes. Piya is Abhay's soulmate . And Maithli , an entire epoch of his life. Then, how could he not feel. He did.
It makes you feel weirdly all soppy inside when you see that Abhay accuses Maithli of nothing. Nothing at all. He rages and rants at Siddharth for making a Frankenstein out of Maithli . He blames Siddharth for snatching away Maithli from Maithli. He screams at Sid and foreshadows the future by saying that Sid was scared and is scared that no matter how much water passes under the bridge , she will always love Abhay. And that did it for Sid. He lost all control because he knew that he has not been able to change anything in these 200 years.
Abhay killed Siddharth by staking him ' his own brother and he didn't even shed a tear. But Maithli? His hands refused to rise to hurt her. To me, the last scene between Abhayendra and Maithli stays the most powerful scene of not only the episode but of all AMetz scenes till date.
Maithli, furious at the death of her ally and moreover Piya escaping from her clutches in addition to her disgust for Abhay's love for Piya, confronts him. All the simmering boiling water of jealousy and betrayal came out in crashing waves. Siddharth, Vampire power, Doppelganger bloodline , Werewolves, T, Dobriyaal sisters - WHOOSH! All were forgotten. It was just between a heartbroken shattered man and a venomous , accusing , hurt and vengeful vixen.
Abhay has the wooden stake in his hand but his hand just doesn't move to drive it through Maithli's heart . Tears not only well up but flow down his cheeks as he is not able to deal with what Maithli has become and where destiny has brought him. Maithli, on a jealous and possessive rampage slaps him, grabs him, accuses him , abuses him when he says that she is not the one he loves ' she is not his sweet innocent princess. Maithli bellows at him to kill her then. You cannot love me? Then, kill me! But you realize that Abhay cannot do it, Infact, forget this vampire no man with a heart that has loved someone with this depth can do it. Abhay ,at his emotional weakest , tears rolling down his tired vulnerable face , tells her that he is sorry. But he can give her neither ' no death, and no love.
This is when a devastated and almost psychotic Maithli springs into real action. She catches hold of him and screams at him. She tells him that she and him are meant to be because he promised. He promised her that he will always love her and that is not going to change because of Piya. I cannot kill Piya because you love her. I cannot kill you because I love you. You cannot kill me because you once loved me! Great. I have a solution. If I cannot have you , I can enslave you. Enslave you until you forget Piya and she forgets you. One day, Abhay , Piya's mortal body will turn to ashes and she will be gone. And then, I will be back. We will be together forever. Till then, sleep a cold sleep as I stamp you with my wait and longing.
And as Abhay stood in her grabbing arms, she pressed a slab of ice to his heart , freezing his blood and freezing him in time ( never mind where the ice slab came from, maybe madam Metz learnt some witchy boo boo magic in these 200 years to pass her time, haha)''Betrayed and stabbed in the back by Maithli, Abhay , his body beginning to freeze , pleaded with her to let him go. Go to Piya one last time.
Maithli stepped away, walked away into shadows, promising him that she will be back to reclaim him one day . He was hers and nothing is going to change that. You want Piya to live? She will live and one day she will die. That day , once again, it will be you and me. They both go in opposite directions, with a dangerous promise between them ' forced upon Abhay by Maithli.
So, as this story reaches a high point, Abhay goes into a deep sleep of slavery under Maithli , Piya gets ready to enter a life where there is neither Abhay , nor his memory and Maithli? She bows out to look at the clock and wait for time to tick ' waiting for that one moment when Abhay will open his eyes , open his arms to her and tell her that he loves her.
Ironic, isn't it? Abhay waited his whole life for Maithli to come back and what did he get? Betrayal, back-stabbing , heartbreak and her slavery. Now, Maithli is waiting for Abhay to come back to her , no matter how long it takes. What will she get, hmm?
P.S ' From day 1, there were always three people in this love story . Abhay, Piya and Maithli. Siddharth was the connecting thread who brought all three of them together once again. Maithli refuses to go. Even when she was not there , she was always between Abhay and Piya . Today , when she is there ,she has snatched Abhay away from Piya. Tomorrow, when Abhay wakes up and meets Piya again, she will be back. To reclaim Abhay.
Maybe, Abhay should have staked Maithli when he had the chance to. She would have been released from this life of sin and damnation that she did not choose. And Abhay-Piya would have been released from Maithli's stubborn obsession with Abhay that has long killed the love she had for him. Abhay's innocent princess is no more'.
Love and luck always,β€οΈ
GOD bless everyone.π€
