Sajan - apart, yet together

9th August

Starts with the Sajan hug of Friday but somewhere over the weekend the hug changed from friendship and comfort, to pure Sajan ... from a casual, relaxed 'I need you', 'I'm here for you' hug to their usual tight clinch ... they just cannot stay away from each other, and it seems that now that Gunjan has accepted her feelings, she has lost the need to even try to pretend, as though she feels she's passed the burden, the guilt over her unchanging love, over to Sam, and is left with just her love ... and with Nups imminent return, the reason for that guilt is gone, so she doesn't even care any more ... she needs him, she needs to be in his arms, she's craved them for three long years, and now she can't do without them - as simple as that. And if she needs him, he's there for her ... he always has been, always will be.
Gunjan's expressions in that hug say everything - complete and utter peace, she's where she wants to be ... as is he ... they're both equally lost.
So back to tight clinch!
But the phone rings ... and they jerk back to reality ... no, this is not what they're supposed to be doing ... they just broke up, remember?
Loved the awkwardness as they come apart ... no recriminations any more, she's not fighting him any more, and she knows she took the first step, what can she say? And he promised he'd stay away from her, but if she comes to him, he just can't. So both are awkward ... talking to Mayank, going away from her to meet him is a relief.

And then Gunjan sees Ash in the mirror ... what did she see?

Ash is shell shocked ... Di and Samrat? No, she must be mistaken ... or is she? She asks Rohan .. Rohan lets it out ... their love story is three years old ...
And Ash remembers all her meetings with Samrat, when she thought he was thinking about her ... and the last ... when he came looking for her Di ...
Heartbreak?

Naveen's link Sg and GunAsh

GunAsh ... Ash asks Gun - do you love him? Does he love you? What is Gunji to answer? But before she can, Ash breaks out - you took him away from me, you broke my dreams ...
um, Ash, remember, SG are three years old ... how did Gunji take him away from you? He was never yours. He was always hers.

Mayank calls Nups. She finally picks up. Wrong number. Grand entry of the LEGEND!
Sam tries to console him - girls like to play hard to get, keep trying. But Mayank is getting worried for the first time.
I liked the bg music for MN - same tune, but with heavy drumbeats. They did exactly the same thing in DMG when Jenni re-entered - very effective.
part 2

Gunji calls Sam, to talk about Ashwini. Sam is acting counsellor these days, looks like Gunji resigned her job!
Mayank still in shock, it was Nupur's voice (ah, he did recognise her), why didn't she want to talk?
SG - Sam shocked at what Gunjan has to say about Ash, he never dreamed she thought of him in that way. Of course he didn't, he never saw her in that way. Ever since Gunjan has been in his life, he's never looked at another girl.
Gunjan asks, you had no idea?
He says, of course not. I was so lost in my own problems ...
He stops. They both know what those problems were. And no, they will not talk about them. Because he will never tell her about the pain he went through, and she will feel the guilt soon enough, has already started feeling it, because she has seen his pain.
He asks more quietly, where's Ash? She doesn't know. She's worried for Ash.
This was a husband wife scene ... totally. Their own issues are their own, but they can be put aside for the moment, because there is always time for them. At the moment, they need to be together for Ash, so they will be. Simple.
Mayank still wondering about Nupur. why did she not want to talk? Why did she say wrong number?
Copy of Sam - kab tak bhagogi?

SG - Sam tells Ro to look for Ash. Gunji worried - everyone around her seems to be losing it Mayank, Ash ...
part 3

Gunji worried Ash will do something stupid, she knows Ash's instability. And after Nups, she's closest to Ash. She can't lose her. What about M? Stop repeating the same lines, Gunjan!
Sam tries to convince her about Nupur, but she's adamant. Her sister would not have stayed away for three years. it can't be her sister. And she doesn't want to talk about it. Running away again. from fear of it being not true, from fear of it being true. Both ways she's a loser. Either she loses Nupur and loses Samrat again, or she gains Nupur and loses Samrat again.
Sam-Ro - i like this pair. Sam tells Ro, find her. Ro says, i will.

Mayank in rain - sees Nups. Two entries of the LEGEND in one episode - wow! She runs away from him. ffwd scene - too long.
part 4

SG waiting for news of Ash. SMS from Ro - Gunjan clutches Sam's arm, what is it?
Ro's found her.
And they both realise how close they are, that she's still holding his arm. She takes her time to release it, though. Nope, never friends. Awkwardness again.
To shake it off, she asks, where's Mayank. He tells her M called a wrong number.
