🤗 thanks misti ... that is such a wonderful poem ... between you, angie, sia and some others with your threads - you have been able to bring about much better emotional closure to cb2 for me than the last 2 episodes of the show ...You are welcome Rajsri and thanks for the appreciation.

how i wish they had shown chayya and how i wish they had shown dev's conflict between dealing with padma and chayya ... oh well....the how I wish goes on building up Rajsri...

even i have wondered about chayya ... while i am mostly sympathetic to her, a part of me wonders why she thought dada's money and status would be more important than the love she had for the child. Sometimes I wonder that did she have a choice...she was the hidden wife whom dada had rejected as the DIL so wouldn't she have doubts that if the relationship of hers with Hari was hidden then why will her son's real status not be hidden? That makes me wonder that did she actually have a choice and whether her only option was to give up the child. What must she have gone through, knowing the kind of person dadaji was - he broke up their marriage and forced hari to marry someone else ... did she ever come back to check on dev from a distance to see how he was doing? there were a lot of emotions that were still left unexplored 😭 That question has always been there in the back of my mind that did she come back to see Dev but did not let her presence being felt by Dada or dai.

but once again, as some of your poems had done in the past, i had to have a box of tissues by my side when i read your poem Don't cry Rajsri.🤗

Misti, beautiful poem and you expressed all the thoughts I have about Chaya. Thanks Angie. I wanted to see her return to see her conflict and also there has to be hurt in Dev that his mother chose to give him up even if she mistakenly thought that it was for his own good. Also I wanted to see her devastation that Dada broke his promise to her when he told her that Dev would get a family and instead brought him up as a servant. Yes I wanted to see all this too and I always had this image in my mind that she is waiting for Dev to find her. Since she gave him up she might not come back herself because she might think that by giving him up she does not have the right...but she might be waiting..sitting and maybe looking out of the window at the road.

The last paragraph is very poignant. I always wondered where would Chaya be? She deserved some happiness too and Hari was the one who let her down really badly when he gave her rights to another woman. Then he never made any arrangements for their child. So she too deserved somebody who would have been her support in her grief. Yes she deserves someone with her but from the way she was projected she came out as a traditional person..would such a person think about making a family again? She might be adopted by a family or she might be in some ashram but will she be veer be able to let go of the past to look ahead in the future.

Somehow I don't think of Chaya as hardening her heart as I think that Dev got her compassion and sacrificial nature as well as her pride. So just as Dev was waiting for his family (his mother and Radhika), she too is waiting for Dev to come and get her back. So I choose to think that Dev would search for her and Chaya would let him find her. She would not come herself to him at this time when he has become successful and achieved a status in his life. She would want to be brought back with respect by Dev. At least that is how I see her. I also think that Dev will go to look for her and for me her reason in wantng to come back on her own might be more linked with the fact that she gave him up...she might think that since she gave him up she does not have the right to come back.

That's why I felt so bad that there was no closure for this. They didn't have to bring back Chaya but they could have shown Radhika vowing to Dev that they would find his mother. If they had to show Kanha, they could have shown him telling Dev that it was his duty to look for his mother and maybe point him to the right direction.Yes to all here.

Thanks Misti, for bringing back the poems thread. The last verse made me very emotional like everyone else here.

What a missed track for the creatives.

Like Angie, I will also imagine Dev and RAdhika are going to look for Chaya
