Week 30 - Love will find a way :)

They say an apology is really a changed behavior.  The week started off with a completely changed Ishwari. The change was so profound that the insecure Ishwari completely went out of our minds! Her apology had a sincere "sorry", a heartfelt ownership of the mistake she did and a desperate desire to find a solution for the mistake that happened...She literally "begged" Sonakshi to come back in Dev's life.

Sonakshi is not a person who needed that apology from Ishwari.. She had accepted Ishwari long ago as her own mother..but the Bose family needed to see this, in order to heal the wound caused by the Dixit family. It was a very important move by Ishwari in Dev-Sonakshi's life. 


I especially liked how Ishwari spoke about having the right companion for the long and tiring trip of Life. She was absolutely right..Its very crucial to have that right companion if we seek happiness.


Asha was admirable this week, as she very carefully convinced Bijoy and Sonakshi.  When we analyze things based on "why it happened"... its important to consider "what if it hadn't happened". Thats exactly how she convinced Sona.. She very carefully explained to her about Dev's situation at the time of breakup.. "What if Dev didn't breakup with you..Would you have preferred to elope with Dev knowing Ishwari did not agree? Ofcourse not, because both of you respect your families.". πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» "Don't you want to go back to your Dev?" How many mothers have a heart like Asha's? I just loved her πŸ˜„❤️


A mother can fix anything! Not all super heroes necessarily wear a cape :) Ishwari ma and Asha ma (UP ma and Bengali ma πŸ˜‚) thus took the driver seat of their families at this point and drove them in the path of "Love". 


I am sure, we all remember - "when Mr.Dev Dixit proposes, it'll be the world's best proposal!" No doubt. In a very emotional patch up, with very few words and eyes full of tears and emotions, Dev and Sonakshi became one, that night. They say, if someone is meant to be yours, eventually, they will be! What do I say about the proposal? Was it the simplicity in it that stood out? or the profoundness? Was it the tear filled eyes of the actors that showed it all? or was it their child like smile on their lips? Was it the little kids that added beauty to the scene? was it the music? I am unable to point at just one single thing that stood out that night,  it was the wholistic experience which made it magical πŸ’•πŸ’žπŸ’–❤️ 

And now, we can let go off that breath we have been holding for the last few weeks... Its DevAkshi again πŸ˜„❤️😍 I hope there will be no more Ms.Bose and Mr.Dixit. Its going to be Mr. and Mrs. Abhodro πŸ˜„

However, its not yet "they lived happily ever after".. picture abhi baakhi hain...

When 2 different communities get into the bond of marriage, its never easy. In our case, its a different language, different culture, different food, in addition to the already created uneasiness...Dev was trying his best to get that uneasiness out of the equation. But as much as Bijoy wishes his daughter's happiness, he is also as much angry with the man who once took that smile away from his daughter.. As Dev rightly said, whatever Bijoy says or does against Dev, is definitely less. Everything needs time to ripe... and this coldness between son-in-law and father-in-law will soon vanish, am sure. After all, who else but Dev knows the value of a "father"..


It was a treat for all the fans this week with extra Dev-Sona moments. I personally had a rough week and every night was a big relaxation for me to see this lovely couple....For Sona, Dev was cute and for Dev, Sona was cute. But for us ---> "cute tho thum both ho" πŸ˜˜πŸ˜˜


When marriage talks happen between 2 families, from different culture and community, its not bound to be smooth. There was a lot of bitterness that cropped up during the discussion, when Bijoy brought up the past and kept daunting Ishwari. Maami added fuel to Bijoy's anger with her trademark sarcasm! I was only hoping for "no casualties" at the end of discussion πŸ˜. But with a man like Maama around, positivity has to spread. Dev gauged it right..he had a lot of trust on maama ji.. After all, maama was the one person, who Dev opened his heart during the break up period.  Finally, all ended well on a note that soon we will get to see Sona and Dev as bride and groom.


When the man and the woman tells the family who they want to marry, the ball comes to the  court of the parents . The way the parents play the game for the short period of time of "marriage preparations" has a lasting impact on the wedded life of the couple. I can very well understand Ishwari's desire to have a peaceful marriage. After all the rough tides that happened in the families, its time for them to see some happy moments. They all deserve this because the foundation of this marriage is purely love. Not just love between Dev and Sona. Its also a celebration of love of a father for his daughter and a mother for her son.  But in this celebration, a lot of compromises have to be made by either side. Small things which add up to be huge! And huge things that might end the show in a second..like the Prenuptial agreement!


A Prenuptial agreement is a legal agreement done between the bride and groom prior to marriage that clearly lists how the property will be divided among the husband and wife, in case of a divorce later on! To me, it looks like a process of fixing your cremation ground, prior to your death...😏! Sona very rightly said..Marriage is not a house rental agreement, where if you have to leave, you give notice, cut the maintenance and go..If its not forever, then its not Love. The marriage ceremony by itself is a "promise to never give up on each other".  I am very glad that Dev threw the agreement in the trash bin. If he didn't I would have been so upset with him. 


Just as we were all feeling safe for our Dev and Sona, Ishwari's insecurities surfaced again! And this time, its for her daughters and I feel, it cannot be completely ruled out this time.. but she could have asked Dev to safeguard his sisters' future before getting into a marriage with Sona (may be write some properties in their name) - its as simple as that. Both Dev and Sona would be happy to do that, because Sona knows how dear are his sisters to him. But Ishwari chose to get Dev's signature without his knowledge - a decision which is going to haunt her later on, am sure.


In a minute of desperation, Ishwari was going to spoil the peace that just started to prevail in Dev and Sona's life. I was very happy to see Dev stand up for Sona and talk to his mom..and to see him talk to Sona's father and explain how confident he is, about his Sona's love for him.. I was even more happy to see him run to his love and express his fear of losing her. Otherwise, we would have missed the "tho..no.2 little Sonakshi hogi" dialogue πŸ˜„❤️😍 Its really endearing to watch Dev and Sona talk happily with each other. Promises were renewed again. "Please don't leave me, ever - I will not, if you promise to be with me, forever." I sincerely hope that this time, promises are kept and the Prenuptial agreement becomes void πŸ™πŸΌ


Shaheer, playing Dev, has a lot to be proud of, especially this week. His forte is his expression of different emotions. This week was a mixture of happiness, anger, romance, love, sadness and every time it was just bang on! I probably say this every week, but what can I do? He just proves it every week! πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½


Any marriage preparation will be incomplete without talk about food! And a bengali marriage starts and ends with food. The Bengalis have a great love for food. There was a girl in my school, who was from Calcutta (as we called those days). I used to love her food and will exchange it for mine all the time. Until one day, when she brought fish. I am a vegetarian and the moment I opened and saw it, I just felt like throwing up. I know, its not a very pleasant thing to say or do, especially on someone's food.. but I really felt like throwing up. Its not as easy for a vegetarian to accept fish or chicken or meat or for that matter, even egg. Its really an impossible task to accept non vegetarian food in the same table as vegetarian, that too, in a sacred event like a wedding. Dev's family's reactions are completely understandable. And this feeling of aversion that the family expressed can probably only be comprehended by a pure vegetarian. Well, marriage is all about compromises.. I kept calming my heartbeat that was racing and told myself  "All is well..All is well".


In between the heated marriage discussions and prenuptial agreement, many times this week, we got to divert our mind and attention to the happy times of Dev and Sona. Dev is just like a friend I know...taking out the veggies from Pizza :) We know our good old Dev is back in form - Internet research has started again this week on "Jokes like Rithwick", "Bengali traditions"..πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ The "show me your kharghosh wala teeth" probably made the entire fandom show their khargosh wala teeth πŸ˜„πŸ˜ 

With some ups and downs, and the extra 30 minute time we got with the KRPKAB team, we were pulling off this week happily until Dev and Sona returned home after seeing the wedding hall.  Sona's tiredness was already noticed by Dev. Why not? Its only natural πŸ˜Š Mr.Cool Dixit - It was a nice attempt, to pre-order your permission to occasionally forget the birthdays and anniversaries in future.  But Sona was right, the "Cool dude" doesn't suit him...And he will actually be the person that remembers all these dates more than her!! 


When Sona said bye to him that day, I did not know that it was a good bye for their dreams about "tiny Abhodro and tiny Sonakshi"..

Of all the rights and blessings of a woman, the greatest is, to be a mother.  And, a man is not complete until a little hand holds him to call him Dad! It truly breaks my heart to see Dev and Sonakshi's future as a couple struggling to have a child of their own..I couldn't wait to see the tiny Abhodro and tiny Sonakshi...


Man proposes, God disposes. Who knows what tomorrow will bring us? The good thing amidst the bad news is that there is 7% chance, Its planty of room for a miracle to happen. Ishwari was right, after all... The journey of life is long and if you don't get the right partner, it will be so difficult to complete the journey...Now that we know this medical problem, we cant agree more that Sona and Dev were meant to be with each other. Love finally found its way and got Dev and Sona together :)


Shaheer, the last scene was just excellent! When a medical diagnosis is given to us for the first time, there is an unexplainable grief and a million questions that occupy our heart and mind. This is more when its for a loved one! Perfect portrayal of this emotion πŸ˜˜πŸ˜˜πŸ˜˜  Only you can act like this. πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
