what a heart wrenching update but let me go point by point or I will miss saying everything
First of all the song you chose...it is one of my favourites and I loved the way you used to show Maan's state of mind and his restlessness for her
There is no doubt that 1.5 yr seperation without even a single call would have been so harsh on him...I think it was the biggest mistake of his life. his decision was probably not wrong and definately neither was the reason behind it. But his not discussing it with Geet as an equal and giving her a chnace to understand the reason behind it or to take her suggestions on board was a wrong. He thought more like a father figure than a husband.
Geet got preganant and then hid it from him. Mainly because she did not realise the main motive of this seperation. If Maan had shared that with her a)she would have taken the pill and b)She would have called him as the reason itself will have been moot. But though she did not blame him and realised the part of the reason were thier respective careers, so she did not inform him.
Somewhere they both went to extremes. He by taking a decision alone and she by not sharing such an important thing with her
Now Maan is back. She does not want him to be guilty. That is her love and maybe a shimmer of any innocence left in her. It is rwally sad that Maan actually killed the same innocence which he had set out to protect.
Maan will feel pain if not guilty. Pain of being awat from her...pain of being away from their baby and pain of leaving her alone when she needed him the most. Even he knows how she loves his care, concern and pampering and will feel pain of realising her lost innocence
Geet's love will not allow her to see him drowning in that pain so she will take charge of this relationship. To prove to him that she has indeed grown up, she is now his life partner and not a kid he may have found cute, to make him relaise that he has to absorb all the pain just like she did for them, thier relationship and the kid...there is no other way. If he doesn't absorb and convert pain to guilt, all three will loose everything precious to them.
All this based on the theory that your update did refer to the baby. A lot of it is still valid even without that but i guess baby makes everything more prominent...her loneliness...her struggle...her sacrifice...his pain and grief...evrything.
Anu, i know you are busy and so as a writer I hardly ask for quick updates. I usually let people update at thier pace so that it is an update upto thier expectation. But please can I take exception. I know I will be thinking about this FF and maybe cry too but please can you update this as soon as possible and before your other FFs. I just can't wait to read Maan's reaction. So just a request.
One last thing...Geet may feel bad about it but last thing I want is Maan to blame Geet for not eating the pill. He was wrong not to discss it properly with her, not taking precautions and it was as much her decision as his to not eat the pill.
