The confession without hiding anything. Almost all of part 31 is scripted with his confession. He told everything. Everything about why he did it, why he married her, his sufferings, his helplessness, his love all...how quickly he fell for her
"When everyone was coming to take you I had to save you anyhow, take you away from that hell where you were tortured because of me. So I married you without any glance at the future. And I fell for you. It happened too fast just when you brother and others had swords out, pointed at my neck. You came out without a care for yourself, despite my instructions and wouldn't go back in until the swords were down n I was out of danger. That act left me aching and... I couldn't stop myself. It was fate's payback. I now know why I had to feel for you. I had to burn in hell knowing that I had wronged the girl I loved."
I was eagerly waiting for her reaction. she didnt react at first but stilled even that is a reaction of being shocked beyond measure. I'm not surprised at her being appalled, hurt n angered. Its not just that easy to forgive ur rapist n live happily ever after. She is also upset with Dadima for not telling her the truth. She may not understand Dadima's POV now but i also agree with her that Geet came as a new bride n she didnt want to crush her dreams.
U clearly portrayed her feelings n at this moment its justified for her to feel this way "*Kya socha aapne? Let Geet live a life of lie, let her dream. That I would live happily with my own rapist who didn't even had the guts to tell me the truth. Mera dil tootta? Aur aaj kya hua Dadimaa? Aaj kya hua? Sach saamne aa gaye aur aapko kabhi pata nai chalega kitna dard hua mujhe jab- Maine unhe aapna sab kuch mana. Chee, mujhe sochke bhi sharm aati hai. Maan was never that man that I always thought him to be. All this time he kept me with him to satisfy his guilt. And you supported him. You cheated me.*
Nai aisa nai hai. Dadimaa said crying but Geet's own ache was so colossal she couldn't see anything else. Inside her something had broken. She had always held on to that little strength, a voice that told her to always be happy. No matter how hard the times may be she had lived through them. Not today... Today all her past agony seemed so small. Like the real definition of pain she had just came to know... pain n betrayal. Nothing in world could make it go, ever. How she will live with it she had no idea.
Her chin quivered and hands shook. *Aisa hi hai, Dadimaa. Isilie mai jaa rai hu. Mera iss duniya me waise bhi koi nai hai aur jisse apna mana usne tod dia mujhe. I am indebted to your grandson. Aaj tak mujhe Maan ne jo dia maine khushi k sath lia yeh sochke k usme kahi na kahi mere pati ka pyar chupa hai. But he was just paying me, buying me and I can't take it anymore. Wo admi kabhi mera pati ho hi nai sakta aur mai ek-ek paisa chukka dungi.*"
But despite being angry n hurt she cant brush off the feelings she has developed for him for years...she is this much hurt n upset because it was caused by the person she deeply loves. Once she cools down a bit she may see things differently.
As i thought earlier Dadima's illness is needed to stop her from leaving Maan. U hv skillfully given the entire confession n made everything clear like crystal. And also gave righteous description of Geet's reaction. A superb update.👏 Thank u.
PS: Its good to know that he upon Dadima's insistence went to HP to surrender himself for his crime n bear the punishment for his crime. So he didnt realize it was the wrong girl until he met her the 2nd time. Be it Geet or Rajji that doesnt make his crime any less severe. Nothing justifies rape.
