After listening to her , I was dumb . Completely lost and struck at only one word ," VIDHWA " . All the nerves in my body has stopped reacting to anything that could have happened later on. For once my world came to a stand still. Her eyes showed no emotion which were constantly watching him . He tried to search if they showed any anger , pain , hurt or atleast hate if not any. How did that word hit him hard and the pain of it directly reached his soft part of the heart was still a mystery!

He was still to all her revelations . "Raghav " He snapped into reality. He try to form words but his brain was  not processing anything . His throat was dry , eyes fixed on her face , body totally numb . Was she making any sort of lame joke with him ? Or any kind of revenge she is aiming at ? He thought . But he could not find any evidence of anything in her eyes or her face or atleast her body language.

May be if TRUTH had a human form then it would definitely look like her . As PLAIN as it looks , as WHITE as clear sky , as EMOTIONLESS as it seems to be , as PURE as she is .

With lot of fight between him and his brain , he spoke , " Pallavi ? " and she was surprised that he called her by her name for the first time ...... She couldn't fathom the fact that his just one word  made her stop in her track while she was moving away from him .
The emotion with which he called her name out was very new to her. She never heard him in that tone . What did he just do ? Call her name ? Call her with a raw emotion ? What happened to him ? Or her ?

She slowly turned back to look at him and that immense empathy that forced to rush out of his eyes for her, made her even more surprised . She couldn't believe  what she saw !!! She definitely thought that her mind was playing a stupid game with her.

He did not even speak a word after the change of expression on her face when she looked back at him.

That was pure emotion !!

Whatever happened between them or with them , all did not matter now , atleast at this moment nothing seemed 'true' except their eyes and the raw emotions they had for each other . It was seeming that nothing in the world was more important than the person in front of them.  

She stood there without responding whereas Raghav had no idea what was he going to say . With lot of courage , he spoke , " tum..... Ye ..... Sab .... Kuch..... Ye ..... Saree.... Ye ..... Mein ..... Vo ..... " Only to struggle with words . This was the first time he had struggled infront of her . She noticed that he was not the one whom she had met . This was a totally different Raghav Rao.

She wondered why he was reacting like this. Had he not known it before ? Kirti and Amma knows this and how come he had no idea about it . His eyes , his expressions , his struggle was all indicating her of his innocence.

His emotion was pure and she understood that he was shook by her revelations.

Raghav was about to speak when pallavi said , " you don't have to try , I know " and earned a shocking expression from  him .

He thought, how did she read me so well . Am I that transparent ? Or is she a mirror to look through me ?
May be a stranger sometimes reads you well than anyone . Stranger ? Was she a stranger to him ? Not anymore . Definitely not after such a revelation .
He tried to push away his thoughts and tried to look at her calm face .

He then spoke , " Pallavi ...... Ummm.... I'm sorry !!" With so much of empathy that she just couldn't stop herself from giving him a little smile . Looking at her smile his heart thumped out at a moment .

She was serene 😍 Her attire only added to her serenity !!

The significance of WHITE has made a revelation to his heart that no one can be more pure and calm when they hold the truth in their eyes. The colour reflects the truth a person holds !!

To him she was no more a widow or a helpless woman . To him she was more like a deity of TRUTH. Her fight , her grit and determination , her self respect all through these days of their challenges made him believe she was more of a warrior than just his SAREE KA DUKAAN.

The stare of Raghav Rao was always intense but today his raw emotion towards her was definitely a distracting one . Disturbing one too. His eyes made her a great revelation  that he was not the one whom he showed to this world . He was much more . He was not the one made her suffer but he was the one who taught her to fight back when life kicks you down. He was the one pushed her limits only to reveal how strong she was . He was that cute little kid who becomes happy om seeing his mother . He was that emotional brother who makes everything possible tot make his sister happy . He was the one who became empathetic caring husband after a revelation by his wife .

Another revelation , Farhad made .......
" They were meant to be , together & for each other "

After watching today's episode when I realised that Raghav actually has no idea of pallavi being a widow , made me pen this down .
