10/2 Epi 31 ... In My Silence Lies Your Defeat

Monday 10th February

Why is Paro so quiet, so apparently acquiescent? Is she resigned to her fate? Has she developed a soft spot for her captor? Has she forgotten all the tragedies in her life caused by Rudra and the BSD?

No, she hasn't. She goes along with what people around tell her to do, because she has no choice. But she will not open her mouth and say what Rudra wants her to say. And in her silence, lies his defeat.
He can push her, browbeat her, threaten her into staying with him and not running away, but he can't make her open her mouth.

The PaRud scenes are always the best scenes of the episode. And when they include a fierce, defiant Paro, even better.

The rest of the episode was as expected ... tying up all the loops. Aman and Kaaka persuade Rudra that he has to take Paro back to the haveli, as his fiancee ... they should have thought of a complete back story for Paro while they were at it. This one is full of loopholes, but it will have to do.

Work has resumed in the haveli ... sweet scenes of bhabhi-nanad Maithili Sunehri ... life goes on as usual and there are actually some normal people living in the haveli, apart from Masama Kaaki and her wayward son.

Rudra enters with kaaka and Paro and introduces himself ... for a moment, I wondered why he was introducing himself, then I realised it was to the workers. Last time there wasn't much time for the niceties of polite conversation.
Kaaki-sa is not happy with the return of the prodigal son ... not at all. She thought she had managed to get rid of him for good.
She extracts her pound of flesh ... an apology. A very reluctant, patently not from the heart apology from Rudra ... but Rudra has no choice ... he has to keep Paro safe and the only place is currently here. For Paro, he came back to the haveli, for Paro he bends to Kaakisa ... for now.
Samrat holds a strong grudge against Rudra ... another conflict here.

As predicted, Paro will now stay with Sunehri. And Rudra doesn't trust Paro an inch still ... as the PaRud fierce conversation shows. And neither does she ... her silence, her apparent complaisance is not her defeat ... he may have forced her agreement by his threats, but he will never get her cooperation.

And Kaaki-sa is into Bond mode ... there is something wrong in this engagement story, and she wants to find out what it is.
While Paro remembers her prayers to Lord Shiva ... she wanted a man with His name ... she should have been more careful what she asked for.
