Thanks Usha di, for yet another nice post :)
Yes, the episode was nice because they focused on the correct emotions that would have been expected. Usually whenever we expect the characters to do something as an aftermath of the circumstances they face, the characters don't do that (or rather they don't show it) But this time, pleasantly they showed Rads' hurt at being betrayed by her best friend whom she trusted more than her life. At this point, i want Radhika to dwell deeper. She has to learn why barkha is doing all this. Because until and unless Rads doesnt get to know all this, she can't fight Barkha. She is still in a daze, fighting to believe that Barkha indeed is bad. Yes, it becomes hard to believe when the person whom you trusted so much backstabs you like this! So Rads won't be able to start thinking hard quickly. She would need time.
Felt bad for her because she cannot share her pain with anyone. She so wanted to tell Dev everything, but restrained herself coz, she didn't want him to take any wrong step. However, I believe Rads should tell him about Barkha, because he is the only one whom she can trust :) Infact both RaDev only have each other to trust entirely. Everyone else out there are selfish people who would advise them in such a manner so that their own vested interests are not harmed! As for Dev getting angry, Rads can control him and they both can chalk out some plan to vanquish the evil Barkha! Radhika needs support at this point, she needs guidance but doesn't have anyone sadly. Even Dev doesn't have guidance. But if they come together, they would have the strength of their love atleast. I won't say I was disappointed to see Rads not sharing anything with Dev, because i wasn't expecting her to tell him everything right away. She was right...barkha owns the legal property...and in front of the society and law, she is Dev's wife and can bring PF to roads for all this. RaDev and especially, the PF would have to stand mute all through because they were the ones who braced 'adharm' as dharm!
BB is in full force but is manipulating Rads and wishes Rads to dance to her tunes. But Rads is no doll and has a brain of herself. BB thought that Rads would make a huge issue, but she did not much to BB's disappointment. BB wants Barkha to be out. And she thinks that once Rads knows about Barkha's intentions, Rads would obviously throw Barkha out of the house...in turn, Rads would start trusting BB and would ask Dev to hand over the RPti to Virat! However Rads knows the repercussions of throwing Barkha out at this point...which may straight forward defame RPti, Dev and the entire property of PF can be with Barkha, which may land them up in roads! Rads is thinking hard...she needs to first get her mind clear of the haziness she is in because of the shock (of being betrayed).
Loved RaDev's small scenes today. They weren't too romantic...but simple, logical and normal scenes that were totally enjoyable. Loved the night scene where Rads keeps gazing at her husband who was sleeping clamly...and then she saying that she wanted to be here looking at him throughout...because she was scared to loose him. And then how Dev realized that there was something seriously wrong with Rads because she looked so lost. He wanted to know but when she didn't share with him, he got upset. Nice scenes :))
Oh and Barkha talking to stranger...she was telling that...I know much time is not left...but the previous plan failed. Now, i am wondering why did she say that not much time is left? So is there something that has to be done before a particular time? Why is she here? Just because she loves Dev (obsessed about him suddenly?) No. There is lot more than that it seems so!
