Satya Drabble: Outsider
Satya never knew what it was to be an outsider. He was the apple of the eyes of all his family members. Satya's wishes were, and are, their commands. Girija loved him to the moon and back. Even in her death, she held on to him, as if as if taking his memories in her afterlife. His new colleagues and patients loved and adored him, except maybe Dr. Sai Joshi, but it wasn't like she considered him an outsider. Then he got married to said Dr. Joshi and had to witness her breakdown, something he knew only the closest people to Sai had the privilege to witness. Savi and Vinu treated him like their friend, never making him feel like he didn't deserve as much, if not more, love and respect than their parents did.
But then, Sai held an injured Virat's hand, and something crashed in Satya. The realization that he was running away from since the photograph at Vinu's birthday party. He was never a part of Sai's world. He was an outsider, and at times, an intruder. He had to witness her world from the boundaries, and be there to help her, but he could never be in that world. He wasn't allowed, and he had had moments when he had thought he was. He didn't blame Sai. In her defense, she had witnessed her world break a million times and was protective of it.
But why couldn't she consider him? He wouldn't hurt her. He would do his best to keep her happy. He didn't want to sit on the outskirts as her world hurt her, but he wanted to hold her. But he wasn't allowed because no matter what they said, his Aai was right that he was an outsider in Sai's world.
