Deception...

Notty...this one's for you!!

You Smiled, You Spoke, and I Believed
Walter Savage Landor

You smiled, you spoke, and I believed,
By every word and smile deceived.
Another man would hope no more;
Nor hope I what I hoped before:
But let not this last wish be vain;
Deceive, deceive me once again!

Just six lines that convey probably every emotion that will tear apart Sumit when he realizes that Ridhima is just a pipe dream. She indulges him, his whims, his fancies…she smiles when he wants her to, in the middle of his carefully worded ode to her person and her company…she listens when he craves her attention…she buttresses when his world seems to be collapsing around him…she empathizes when he rants…she touches when he is sinking…she encourages when he loves…she will eventually shirk when he confesses!!

wow your just on a role today arent you aarti!
when i was reading the poem, i first thought of armaan, but then you went and used it as a exapmle of summit! which makes total sense! he is being decived, but i dont think its being done intentionally by ridz. shes trying to be a good doctor to him. but what will be his reaction when he learns shes not what he thinks?
another wonderful post hun! keep it up! 👏

😆 😆 😆 sorry to laugh but ur poem n ur description made me think all those ridz's actions when she was with sumit n armaan [ before armaan confessed]..........she was really sweet,caring,loving for armaan also, before he confessed his love KHULLAM KHULLA..........but as soon as poor armaan confessed his loved n was completely mad after her.........she moved away n now sumit is next in line........... 🤢

applicable to armaan too, definitely, but i was caught by the use of the words last wish...and so i associated it with sumit....

Thank-you DD!

So she is indeed leading him on to a nowhere land.And when he will beckon her she will scoot before he can bat his eye lids.

That last line actually brought an image of Ridz diffusing like a "phoos bomb"!

Sumit is unlike Vivek but he can be the obsessive kinds if not stopped in time.
Now only sth drastic can bring Riddhima out of her wonderland!

roll or not, don't have an option...too long an absence...too many requests, just keeping up with all of them, cos each one is dear!!

this is to open the debate on whether or not ridhima is intentionally deceiving him. while deception is too strong a word, i do belive that ridhima is now atleast partially aware of where sumit's words come from. it is not his cancerous lungs that call out for her, but the neighbouring heart!! and in not clarifying her stand in his life as mere doctor, she is causing him more harm. a dying man, dreaming of the impossible will be shattered when he finds the truth. he is holding on to ridhima as one would to a life boat, little does he know his life boat has a tiny hole in it, that is going to take him down faster than his cancer!!

😆 😆 Aarti, can't help but laugh at your description! sorry!
but this poem truly n perfectly suits sumit, who's the next one in line! poor guy!

hey maybe ridhima should have the poem set to tune and listen to it on her ipod during her famous jogging jaunts!!!

ok now if this post has started lemme pour my heart out........
Can't ridhima see that sumit is proposing her indirectly........i mean no patient have dare to say ''MAIN AAPKO AADHA GHANTA DEKHE BINA BHI NAHI REH SAKTA'' to his/her doc..........buts umit is constantly saying this n everytime he inists ridz to stay with him.........GOD ridz can't u see.......she is a doc n haven't realized change in sumit's behavious till now..........SUMIT keep on saying ''AAP HI MERI DAWWAI HAIN'' wat does she thinks on hearing this line.........do patients talk with their docs in such a obsessive manner????? she shud learn sumthing from angi coz angi very well knows how to keep distance........😃.
Sumit badly needs to understand that his n ridz's relation can't be carried on n it will be better if ridz make this point clear right now........other wise sumit can be a big threat as sumit's obsesion is increasing day by day

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH I M FEELING BETTER NOW

@ Aarti

lol! 😆 😆 exactly!!
