MB, You are damn good, you know that right!!!!Another super, amazing, awesome update. 👏
The amazing part of your story is that you give equal prominence to all the characters and their emotions.
How beautifully you expressed the ongoing dilemma in Manorama's mind.
Khushi and Meera are the main connection left for Manorama with her son Naren. She sees her dead son in them. But now the dynamics are changing and they are changing fast.
In her mind she knows that if Khushi is getting a second chance in love and life, then Khushi should go for it. If Meera after losing her father has a second chance in getting fatherly love, then Meera should embrace it.
But who can convince this stupid heart. Khushi marrying Arnav means the bond with Manorama will weaken. A certain distance will be created. Khushi will be no longer just a widow of NK but she will be Arnav's wife. Manorama will lose Naren even more than earlier. She does not want that to happen. She wants to hold onto Naren as much as possible.
There is such a tug of war going on between her mind and heart.
She knows that what her mind is saying is the right thing to do, yet as a mother her heart weeps for Naren.
This emotional dilemma has been so beautifully portrayed by you.
Its almost the same dilemma with Khushi too. She wants to embrace Arnav and his love but that would mean letting go of NK to a big extent. NK will remain an important part of her life, yet Arnav will take prominence in her life.
But you know MB, I thought a lot about Khushi's character from last night.
Happiness does not come easily for everyone in life. Many of the times we have to fight for it.
Khushi was still young when she lost her parents. Though fate snatched her parents away, destiny filled that gap by giving Khushi her aunt's love.
Then comes Arnav into her life. She was probably on top of the world when she found Arnav, his love and passion. Whatever the reasons were, fate again snatched him away from her. She again resolved to loneliness and sorrow and thought she was too broken to get happiness again.
Destiny again brought NK into her life, who stood put, pulled her out of her depressed state and made her fight for their share of love and happiness.
Fate again took NK away from her.
Now she has come to a conclusion that this is her fate. Loneliness and sorrow are her permanent companions.
Even though love and happiness is calling her again, yet she does not want to embrace it because deep down she has decided that being happy is not in her fate or destiny.
This is not at all uncommon. This kind of nature is present in almost everyone of us.
Known sadness is better than fighting for unknown happiness.
Thats what happens with people having depression too. They are scared to come out of their depressed state. Deep down they know that they have to fight their mental state and come out of it, yet they are reluctant to do it. They find peace in their own sorrows and darkness.
I feel its the same condition with Khushi too. She has become too comfortable in her loneliness, sorrow and the widow tag.
How should Arnav convince her that she has to fight this demons inside her? Will his declaration of his love for her be a stimulus for her to fight for her share of the happiness? Will Meera's bonding with Arnav and Mohan be enough for her to embrace destiny again?
Waiting to see what that stimulus will be???
Coming to their passionate intimate encounter, MB kudos to you for writing it with so much passion yet with so much sensitivity.
Either be it you or Jigs, you write such scenes giving so much of importance to emotions that you leave your readers craving for more.
Thanks MB, for writing this update so beautifully.
I hope I did not bore you with this lengthy comment. 😆
