Sorry Aditi, that instead of talking about the update, here my question was on Maan first when he wasnt even in the whole update. I cant help but think of him first. I can only hope, he is able to accept Geet back once she decides she is strong enough to face him and his reasons of hiding such a big secret from her.
Coming to the update, Geet and Tej decides to meet their father. Chalo, finally that moment came when Geet will be able to move on from her past.
Frankly speaking, I dint felt any emotions for Mohinder Handa. His first words in his monologue that he is seeing his son and daughter after decaded was enough to make me steal my heart. And then even after listening to his side of the story, to which I completely understand and he had all the rights to move on cos as it is staying with Rano would have been wronging her when in his heart he would be loving another woman, I still dint feel any pity or as much as sorry for him.
Strangely, I was shocked that he was shocked when Tej addressed him as Mr.Handa. The man even after knowing he became selfish how can he still expect to be called as Dad and get the respect from his children when he failed so miserably to play a father to his children? I get that no matter what he is still their father and he still has the heart of a father to feel the love and hurt. But I felt he dint had the right anymore. He lost it long back when he only thought about his own feelings and new family he created with his second wife. Geet dint like her step mother which was normal for any 6 year old kid. But instead of bridging the gap btw himself and her, he send her to hostel away from him when he so much wanted to have a daughter. Sadly, he dint value the gift given to him by the god after Rano miscarried. So asking his son to call him dad when he wasnt one to them all these years makes it all fake to me. Or say I dont feel giving his feelings, emotions and thoughts any importance anymore.
The images of small Geet age of 6 is flashing in front of my eyes who was deprived of her mother as well father's love and affection and was later send to hostel cos her father felt she was getting a bad temper. Who wouldnt feel irk and anger at her step mom at that age when she wasnt even mature? For her, her family was broken cos the second woman in her father's life whom he had marry way too sooner after the divorce. Cos of her step mom she had to live away from her own mother. And later her father too sends her to hostel away from him. Mohinder failed to read what was going in that innocent child's mind and heart. He was so busy sorting out his life that later seeing her enjoying with her friends more, he totally stopped bothering about the same daughter he had wished for so badly after initial few years of getting her into a hostel and seeing her with Meera. He truly never made efforts and tried hard enough. In a way, he stopped being her father in all means in his selfishness and let his daughter slip from his hand all by himself.
Also, he himself confessed he didnt wanted to meet Tej cos he felt Tej was at the crucial stage of adolescence that it would be difficult for him to handle a teenager. So in a way he back off of his responsibilities from his first born who made him a father. Agreed both the children were too young for the truth but that does not mean one stop being a parent to their own child. No wonder Tej addressed him as Mr.Handa.
The saddest part of all was he still hadnt realized where and what wrong he did. He in fact says that Geet shouldnt have complained cos he provided her with best of dresses and toys and he felt he played his role of a father perfectly. Tej was so right. There was indeed no point in talking when the man still doesnt know about what his loved ones are complaining and demanding answers for.
Both the children were deprived of their parents love from such a young age. Right from their childhood, at least for Geet it was very disturbed and messed up, and Tej's growing years were totally ruined. Both had to mature a lot more before their age which is sad. They both dint had a normal childhood.
But yes, it is indeed a proud moment of any parent that despite everything both their children had grown up to be better human beings. They had made themselves successful in this hardship. Else most of the childrens are spoiled and totally go out of hand.
Also I understand what made Geet forgive her father. He might be a failure as a father but he indeed did good by sending her to hostel cos at least there she created her own family and got the love which was meant to be given from her parents.
But the question he asked out of curiosity just made me feel angry at him for the first time. Specially when he asked "Why not years before" It made me say "Cos you never bother about them and made any effort to explain your side of story when they were mature enough to understand. Or what exactly when wrong btw you and your first wife. They came to you seeking answers so that they could move on like it seems you have"
Im really thankful to Maan that he had suggested her to talk to her parents. She indeed grew more stronger today cos she had the heart to forgive her father after everything he did, or should say at the lack that he dint do anything for them. Not only that, today she could sit and have lunch with her step mom without any grudges. With time she would be able to let go and move on. Im really happy for her and Tej.
Their whole part of confronting Mohinder was hell lot emotional. If I dint an ounce of emotion for Mohinder, my heart was heavy thinking and imagining Geet and Tej's childhood.
Last part was interesting. Cos I was really having so so many questions in my head when I was reading Mohinder side of story. I cant wait to read Rano's side now and see what made a mother stop bothering her children. Looking how you said she had been deprived of her children seems like there is going to be heart wrenching story.
Rano has last seen Geet when she was just 8? Sad.
But yes, I should mention, we can be hard on a father but never ever on a mother. I can myself never see my mom crying, seeing tears in eyes instantly wells up my eyes as well. But strangely, that never has happened with me for my dad. I dont know why.
Update was emotional Aditi. You portrayed every emotions so very well. Im sorry for being so harsh on Mohinder though. I cant help but feel anger building within him reading his side of story. I did understood him at certain parts but rest of all I couldnt look past so bashed him left right center in this comment. Sorry about it.
