Here is my next VM based on scenes from the Abhay track. This is from Radhika's perspective. I have used the song "Saaiyan" from the movie "Heroine".This song suits Radhika of CB1, but I had a really hard time making this VM. I gave up on it many times, but finally made an effort to finish it. Let me know if it has turned out ok. I think the hard time was because there were so limited scenes where Radhika was shown to feel hurt or betrayed. Also the song is a difficult one to make with difficult lyrics.I probably could have made it on Radhika of CB2 when Dev betrayed her. But there were only 2-3 scenes - slap scene, temple scene where Radhika talks about her devastation to Kanha and one bedroom scene where Dev walks out on Radhika. After that, Radhika's hurt was never shown at Dev's behavior. So it was not enough to make this VM.Anyway, the VM is named "Broken Promise" ; the title is from a poem by an American poet Archibald Macleish. Following are some of the lines from his poem. They don't exactly match the VM, but some lines suit Radhika's belief in Dev's return.Broken Promise (By Archibald Macleish)
THAT was by the door
Leafy evening in the apple trees
And you would not forget this anymore
And even if you died there would be these
Touchings remembered
and you would return
From any bourne from any shore
To find the evening in these leaves
To find my arms beside this door...
Following is the VM "Broken Promise".

Thanks for the VM Angie. I can understand why you found it difficult to make this VM. Radhika was turned into this benign and perfect person who hardly used to show her hurt. Earlier during the Abhay phase of the show they did show Radhika's hurt and pain at Abhay's actions and behaviour but they removed all that from her characterisation later on. Infact Radhika used to show more emotions towards Chachunder than to Abhay...by emotions I mean she used to react more to Chachunder than to Abhay/Dev. It was as if the character of Abhay had no importance in the story.
