The wedding ceremony is over. Kavya is passed out in the car after a night of dancing and fun. Dhruv opens the door to the passenger seat as Kavya opens her eyes. “Party animal” he exclaims, reminding her about the night before.

Kavya smiles and asks “Where are we?” and then notices that they are in the outskirts of the city. It’s the same place they visited last year when they ended up attending an impromptu wine tasting. 

Dhruv tells Kavya that he feels terrible about their fight but he also feels that the two of them need to re-evaluate their relationship and make some changes going forward. Kavya nods in agreement and they head to the lush fields nearby.

Sitting on the grass, breathing the fresh air, once again gives them the opportunity to think clearly. Kavya talks about how important her career is for her. She wants to be self-reliant and continuously build a better lifestyle for herself and Dhruv.

Dhruv talks about his uncertainties and how he wants to live a simple life with Kavya, full of love and laughter, even if it means that they don’t get to be the couple who travel all over the world together.

Kavya points out that the two of them “look at life so differently” and Dhruv reminds her that “uncomfortable conversations create space for comfortable moments.”

This episode progresses very slowly. But the dialogues and premise offer a refreshing world view. I was deeply impressed by the way Dhruv and Kavya communicate with each other. They don’t believe in the age old adage “love conquers all” but they don’t abandon a loving relationship at the first sign of trouble either. 

Effective communication and constant compromise are what make a successful relationship. It’s a wonderful tribute to modern relationships.

As the season closes, Dhruv and Kavya realise that they do in fact, truly love each other. They want to stay together but they also want to grow as individuals. They decide to be more honest with each other. Dhruv talks about potential job opportunities he wants to explore in the future and Kavya assures him that he doesn’t have to worry about their relationship or his family back in Delhi.

Amidst the ever changing world, watching Dhruv and Kavya be constantly supportive of one another is a feeling of relief.

The season ends on a hopeful note. And for this relatable and warm ending, this episode gets a rating of 4/5.
