Update was very emotional dii. You really did full justice to Geet's pov. Her childhood, growing up, feelings, relations, confusions, innocence, immaturity. Everything was so beautifully written.
After this update I really dont blame Geet at all for not understanding the intimate relationship shared btw husband n wife.
Her childhood n growing up phase clearly said she was really an innocent girl. Plus no girls as friends also was one reason why she never got to know other stuffs.
You know what you might not like me for saying this but I somewhere blame Geet's parents for getting her married so early. Her mother was concerned about Geet, wanted her to grow up, behave like girls, be mature; I understand everything. But I guess they failed to understand that marriage was not the only solution to get Geet mature or grow up.
It was so clear from Geet's talk that she wasnt ready for marriage. But just cos her mother was worried about Geet's future she thought to get her married in a blink without preparing her which was a very wrong move from their side. Geet was just 22 n girls of 21st century really want to become something. Be independent, earn for themselves n then they think of marriage, children n stuff. But her parents dint think that despite being educated n knowing the importance of education. It wasnt like Geet's parents were narrow minded people who dont let their daughters to study or think about career. So why rush in getting her to become mature n grow up all of a sudden that too with only solution being marriage?
Aur chalo maan bhi liya that whatever decision they took was cos they wanted everything best for their daughter, for her good only as her in laws allowed her to continue studies which rarely happens in India, then also it was Geet's mother duty to at least make few things known to her daughter. If not about kitchen related things then she should have at least make Geet understand about husband n wife relations. I guess every mother do that when they get their daughter to marry. Dont they generally have a mother-daughter heart to heart talk before marriage where a mother shares few things from her own experience? And in Geet's case toh she was immature, childish, wasnt even prepared for marriage so it was more of her mothers responsibilities n also necessary to make few things clear to Geet. When a girl is just not mentally prepared for her marriage n hardly knows what a relationship is being shared behind the door of bedroom, mistakes like Geet did in her marriage with Yash are bound to happen. So how is Geet to be blamed if she thought a simple kiss makes girl pregnant? Or for whatever she blabbered on her wedding night to Yash in fear of getting pregnant n losing her chance to study?
I would infact say it was Geet's sheer luck that she got such a understanding, mature n patient husband who supported his wife in her career n waited for her to be ready to start their married life in all sense. I shudder at the thought had Geet was married in some narrow minded house or for god forbid her husband was not a nice n selfless person like Yash then her life would have been ruined along with her career n dreams. Her innocence had been snatched in the rush to make her mature n grow up suddenly by putting her in marriage responsibilities.
I know Geet wouldnt ever blame her parents but I really hope she comes out of her guilt of not been able to fulfill her duties as a wife to Yash who loved her unconditionally. This update not only made me feel for Geet but also for Yash that he couldnt express his love for his wife the way he wanted or being loved by her in return.
Loved the update Dii. Also sorry for partially blaming Geet's parents. Hope I dint hurt your feelings or disrespect you in any way.
