Hello!!!!
I know. I know. I'd disappeared on you completely. And I have no excuse to give other than that I couldn't digest Dev's way of adultery as it reminded me of something that one of my close relative is going through. The similarities were too uncanny. Especially the fact that he and Meera were caught in Dev-Geet's bedroom. I mean what the heck?! I understand that Dev had fallen out of love with Geet and was head over heels for Meera. But still there is something called humanity and having respect towards your decade old marriage in which you'd conceived a beautiful daughter and brought her up in that same f**king house. As Geet kept on going about Dev's flirting and his occasional glances with Meera, them meeting in Delhi, and last straw being them doing in Dev-Geet's bedroom. It truly made me want to throw up. What they did to Geet is unpardonable. They broke her in so many ways. Gosh! I can't even fathom it. No wonder she went ahead and had that one night stand cos she was obviously not in her senses. Who would be after witnessing your husband f**king your best friend in your bedroom?
I know you said not to judge Dev and Meera as they have their own story to tell. I understand that. Especially when Dev had fallen in love with Meera but I can never forgive that he not only hid it all from Geet but also that he was completely disrespectful towards Geet. And I can also not forgive Meera cos she was Geet's best friend. She had seen Geet-Dev's teenage love and their journey as a married couple till becoming parents. And from Geet's story it looks like Meera had fallen for Dev first or who knows was always in love with him and probably persuaded him seeing that he was without his wife. If my assumptions true that Meera is one disgusting friend as she back stabbed her own best friend. Cos her coming to Darjeeling to stay around them is something can't ignore. Something tells me, she wanted to stay around them.
I know what I'm going to say will make me sound immature or hateful and a petty person but I can't help wish that Dev and Meera have karma bite their ass. A part of me wants to see them suffer. I know it's harsh of me but after witnessing what betrayal does to a person in my own family, I have no sympathy left for them.
I've realized that I don't even care about their part of the story cos it won't make me feel any less sick. No amount of justification can make me accept them or how they dealt with their growing attraction towards each other when there was a child involved. A child who will now have to grow before her age. Cos she will obviously question why she is not staying with her father. And though Geet will avoid giving her the truth now, she will obviously have to tell Muskaan one day. And I'm already dreading that moment.
Anyway. It made me wonder, if Yash hadn't passed away and Geet hadn't stayed with Pari and Meera taking Geet's place in her home and married life, would Dev have still felt drawn towards Meera? Or was there always an attraction btw them? You know that special connection which people don't realise until too late. I know the path my thoughts are going will only hurt Geet more since it will mean Dev never truly loved her. But now I can't help it cos Meera was his friend too. She was someone who was always there with them, btw them. Since the start. And that makes this whole infidelity even more messier and shady.
Also, Geet finally joined the dots in Sameera and Maan's connection and she is in a tricky situation I must say. I understand her reluctance of not sharing with Sam that she is the woman with whom Maan has slept with. Cos this is truly not the time. Sam is vulnerable and she would obviously be more hurt. But I hope that she also isn't too late in sharing that piece of the fact cos it can ruin a good friendship that I see building btw Sam and Geet. Moreover, Geet knows the pain of betrayal done by a friend. I'm sure she wouldn't want to be Meera btw Maan and Sam.
And like her even I think Maan and Sam marriage could have been saved. Mostly cos forgiving each other would have come easily to both of them as both did their fair share of mistakes in this marriage. Although I don't know for how long that would have helped them. Cos somewhere I do feel that probably after a couple of years they would have gone separate ways. And then it would have been bitter and made them hateful towards each other. So in a way, I think they saved themselves a whole lot of pain. But then one never knows. Cos I have heard of stories, where people do give a second chance to their marriage and overcome all hardships and tribulations. And actually do end up having one of the best married life and sets an example even.
About Sam. I really feel sorry for her. She is a good person just made some poor decisions and paid a heavy price for it. And now all she has left is regret. I'm intrigued as to how will she move on and find happiness. Cos she deserves it as she has already gone through consequences and paid a price already.
Amongst Geet, Maan and Sam; I feel Geet has suffered the most and brutal heartbreak. Don't mean to compare, just that it's a fact. As she wasn't even in the wrong. All she did was try to maintain all her relationships, be there for her people in their tough times and wasn't even appreciated for it. So it is sad.
Since, now I'm prepared to read this story again, I will read all the chapters and comment on each one of them. I know one sorry won't suffice, but really I couldn't bring myself to read this story as it reminded me of the case going in my family too much. So I avoided it. But now I'm more prepared. Although my thoughts will be biased and might even sound hypocrite. Just thought to warn you beforehand.
