Hold A Mirror Up To

A small imagination of how I wanted episode 219 (15th June) to continue.

The makers of the show really hate confronting Pakhi I guess. Even though questions of Sunny were correct, I never understood why Virat walked away angrily. So here I am putting my thoughts into how I wanted the scene to be.

So instead of just walking away, what would have happened if Virat stayed till the end without interrupting Sunny?

This part was also requested by Gudulii575. Hope you like it.

Promise. It a big word, either it makes something or it breaks everything. We promise people to keep up and never fail in keeping it up. But certain promises come with uncertainty, there maybe no future to them, as any one of the persons may change their course in life. So, am I justifying that breaking a promise is right? Maybe or maybe not, depending on the situation I would justify my answer. But certain situations do not need any justification, you straight away know, it is okay to break a promise and move on. If breaking a promise leads to a peaceful living of people then yes, I would justify my answer, telling it is okay to break a promise.

Virat did the same thing, he broke a promise so that four lives can move and live on their own. When you do certain things, it should be done after informing it openly, to all or to that person who is related to that promise. Virat did not do any such thing, he himself thought about breaking the promise, if only he declared about breaking the promise, none of the situation would have arisen.

Sometimes you can't blame a person, even though they do all sorts of wrong, why? Because they think that what they are doing is right, as no one has opposed or cleared that it is wrong. Pakhi is in such situation. She still believes that Virat loves her and has a chance, again why? Because Virat did not clear it properly to her. Yes, he told her once or twice and also reminded her who she is, but that's not enough. You need to be a little harsh, when the person in front of you isn't listening to you. They need to be shown a mirror, only then they will understand things. And that happened when Sunny arrived. Not only pakhi, but even Virat needs to understand certain things and hopefully he will today.

Sunny asked Pakhi "tell me Pakhi, in what happened, what was the fault of Samrat. He, of all did not deserve, what happened to him". "What are you trying to tell sunny, that isn't the issue here", said Virat knowing where this topic would head. "No, Virat I know what I am asking, just stay calm for some time. I am talking to Pakhi and she needs to answer it. You need to stop answering for her.", said Sunny knowing what happened in his absence. "So, you're trying to tell I destroyed Samrat's life, how could you Sunny, you know what happened with me was wrong and still you are blaming me", questioned Pakhi. "Yes, I know what happened with you in the past was wrong, but as I already told, you had a choice for not marrying Samrat. No one forced you, your parents, in laws, no one, if you are married today, it was because of the choice you made. Stop blaming Virat, that he made a promise. The promise he made, broke the moment you both married different people", said Sunny breaking Pakhi's heart little by little. "Instead of moving ahead in your life, you are struck in the past thinking, every person is still at that moment. Open your eyes Pakhi, people around you are moving on in their lives, specially Virat and Sai. You can't keep coming in between husband and wife", said Sunny hitting the nail finally. "Enough", shouted Virat. "Why should I stop Virat, you and Pakhi very well know, what I told is right. Stop being so coward and accept the truth. Now that I think of it, I feel maybe you both are the reason, Samrat left the house. Don't ask me how and why I think like that, but yes, I do have a doubt about it", said Sunny furiously not scared of his friend. But for Virat, Sunny's words reminded him of Sai, even she told the exact same words the other day. Was is it just coincidence or is he really missing something. "So, if any fight happens between Virat and Sai, why I am being blamed", asked Pakhi crying. "I am neither one of the family members nor Virat, to not see things Pakhi. Stop playing victim every damn time. Okay let's do one thing", said Sunny. Before Pakhi could reply, Sunny took Pakhi hand and put it on Virat's head and said, "Now tell me Pakhi, promise on Virat and tell me that, your intentions were always right and that, you always considered Virat as your friend and nothing more. Tell me that, you envy Sai because, she is an independent girl and not because she is Virat's wife, tell me that the growing proximity between them isn't troubling you and I would take back everything I said to you and also apologise to you". Virat was hoping that Pakhi would tell that, all of it was true, but shocking him Pakhi removed her hand started crying badly. "So, whatever Sunny said is right, and you thought I will see you as more than friend? How could you even think like that Pakhi?", questioned Virat bewildered. "Virat, the feelings for you are still fresh for me and I think even you feel for me, otherwise you would have stayed calm, when Sai was questioning me in the hall, instead you told Sai to back off", said Pakhi with hope that Virat would understand her. "See, this happens, when you don't clarify things Virat, you said to me that there is nothing between you and Pakhi, but telling yourself will not help, instead clear it off, it would help you too, to move on", said Sunny, trying to make his best friend understand the consequences. Pakhi now is angered that Sai has once again come in the conversation. "Maybe your right Sunny", said Virat after thinking and finally understanding things, "Pakhi, yes, I made a promise to you that day, but as sunny said, it broke the day we married different people. And today I want to move on in my life and start living a life with my wife, so I, hereby declare that the promise given to you will not be valid, that is I am giving you the freedom of living your life on your own. It is better if we move on in our lives Pakhi", said Virat. Sunny was proud, he knew he has to convince Virat to pacify his wife and tell her about this. Both of them left for hospital. Pakhi was in a shock, did Virat just tell her to move on in life, when her life depended on him. So, did she accept her reality?

The quote I stated above, is what I am trying to tell, its best to accept the reality, even if it is harsh with us. But jealousy, envy, ego come in between and spoil our life. Pakhi couldn't accept her reality, instead she started plotting against Sai. Guess we can't really change their thoughts, until they do.

Hey guys, thank you for taking out your time and reading this. Hope you like it.

Sunny was that Ray of hope in the episode for me when it aired, but I felt the makers did not utilise his part too.
Even though I wrote it, I am not still completely satisfied. So please let me know whether I need to improve.

I hope I did justice to this part. Please let me know how it is in the comment section.

Until next time.
