Parts 61 & 62
Part 61
Mixture of emotions in this update. It started with some awkward moments moving to Geet making Maan feel special with the one week anniversary thing in order to make up for the guilt she was feeling inside her, further to some nice moments to finally a blast in the form of divorce papers. Well, I am a little confused about the divorce part. Will come back to it a bit later in the comments.
Maan's monologue in the beginning showed that he did feel bad for losing control at that moment, for his physical urges dominated his thinking, his understanding for a while.
Geet still can't give herself fully to her man for she's still under the spell of the childhood incident. She's still confused, still scared. Her monologue while she was in Meera's apartment showed that she was feeling really very guilty for her actions. And thats the reason she thought to make up for it by draping herself in a black saree followed by the lunch and the mini NY outing. Guess she hadn't planned to celebrate her week anniversary this way before. It came out more from the guilt. But then, I loved her efforts, the way she was trying to make things to be normal as before. She realises that Maan too would be feeling guilty of his actions, she knew it was more of her fault than his because she knows that Maan is one person who has accepted her as she is, understands her completely and would not never force himself on her. She wanted to shoo away the memory of that incident from both of their minds. And what better way could be than to relive the days, the moments before their marriage.
Loved this part a lot, reminded of the earlier parts of the story. Her small gestures and the kada with the inscription-so beautiful. They both gift each other meaningful gifts, gifts which have a story of their own, which have a memory etched in their minds and will always remind them of the love they have for each other.
She then asked him to have her Maan back. It felt like she still wasn't ready for it since she wasn't comfortable in the elevator, the necklace part. But I guess she asked so for Maan's conscious behaviour was hurting her.
And then the sudden unexpected twist-'Divorce papers'!
Well, I am a bit confused here. Dev had sent her papers, she had signed it and returned it back very soon, as far as I remember. I guess this happened sometime in December before Christmas. And she got married in early Feb. But the problem which is there is now the date on which the judge stamped the papers after Dev and Geet's signature. Is it that Dev sent the papers to the court late? And does this date issue hold the validity of Maan and Geet's marriage?
Their monologues after they saw the divorce papers showed the pain they were experiencing at the very moment!
Part 62
The transition of Geet's behaviour from being quiet to back to her chirpy self with dawning of the realization of the situation was really amazing to read.
The time which passed after the discovery of that yellow envelope had been really heavy for both Maan and Geet. Geet is quite an emotional person, she was sure to cry over this and to add on-Maan's yelling! Maan, on the other hand, is quite practical in his approach towards life. He does understands the seriousness of the situation but knows that it can be handled. Geet's crying irked him and he yelled at her. Geet can't be blamed that she's giving so much importance to those papers. She's been treasuring the moments spent with Maan, both pre and post-marriage and to find that the validity of her marriage with Maan is at stake, she's bound to be break down. Neither can Maan be blamed, for he is not able to digest the fact that Geet is giving so much importance to those pieces of paper and the date that she'l probably be distancing herself from him due to this
. The reactions to the papers were quite realistic and hurting at the same time. The time from the receipt of the papers to the part where Maan comes back home and initiates to break the silence in their relationship must have been really very hard for both of them with thousands of thoughts drifting through their minds!
Liked the way Maan brought back his Geet and how Geet also went with the flow. Loved the bickering session a lot. The way she was complaining and Maan listening, infact enjoying it-loved it a lot! And Yash-Meera part was rightly included since it helped Geet to realize that each one has a different way to express his/her love, each has their own perspectives about doing things for their loved ones. The most important thing that it doesn't matter how one expresses one's love but the thing is that their love is unique, the feeling with which one expresses one's love to the other is unique and is soley reserved for their loved one!
Half cup empty, half cup full-purely a matter of one's perspective.Quite often people see the cup as half cup empty because it really needs a great deal of positive attitude to face life which seldom happens in today's world.( I won't say optimistic since its quite a heavy word to be true in today's world)
Don't know if Geet has actually realized the true meaning of this. She knows that she has Maan's love, his support which is always with her, still she finds herself alone sometimes due to her own insecurtities, her ow fears. Geet can only see the half cup full with her own initiative to be strong, to handle things with a free mind along with Maan's unconditional love!
