Aditi🤗 Both the chapters were so beautiful and you stopped at such a point that it is making me all excited and eager to get

to know what happens next.

Mini🤗 Thank you yaar,I will update soon enough so you will know what happens next bas thoda intezaar

ok so coming on to the chapters...Chapter 17 was really good.The first scene made me feel for

Kesar.He would have been heartbroken to hear her explanation na.The dialogue of his regarding his childhood haq was so

poignant.I mean he knew even when he was a child that it was only his his zid and nakhras that made Gullu say yes to his

question about whom she loved more?awww that made me a little sad😭This has to be my fav scene in this chapter.beautiful

dialogues.I could imagine Neil saying all these dialogues and it really got me very emotional Aditi.Wonderful job👏

Mini you expect this from Gulaal right,she is completely unaware of what's going on in his mind nor is she privy to his thoughts like he is to hers and somewhere Kesar knows and accepts that the space in her heart is just filled with Vasant's memories and Vasant's love,there cannot be anyone else,he will have to rise above his wants and needs to actually expand the space and co-exist with Vasant,there cannot be any other way😭

The next

scene which I liked was the one between Dushyant and Kesar.Right now Kesar is like a simmering Volcano.He is keeping all

the anger and pain contained in himself just for the sake of his Gulaal but I have a feeling that one day very soon he is

going to explode.

Kesar and Dushyant dynamics though largely remained unexplored in the show had so much potential,Dushyant in repentance of his past act and having turned over a new leaf and Kesar having discovered his unforgivable sin oblivious to his present sacrifices ahh what an irony

One thing I am very happy about is that he is privy to Gulaal's thoughts and feelings through her journal

cause for now this is the only way to get to know her mind.Gulaal has a long way to go before she can share her heart with

Kesar na.loved the journal entry Aditi

Thanks the journal entry I think is what connects him more to his brother making him reflect on how his brother was and why Gulaal had no choice but to comply with his wish,had it been any other way he would not have fallen in love with her,his love was because of Gulaal's unconditional and complete devotion to Vasant and his dreams,He was attached to her and looked up to her but what made him fall for this strong .gritty and determined woman is definetly not her beauty but her inner stregth,her ability to love a person beyond morality,her devotion to one man she surrendered her entire being ,and he knew he had to rise above all to get that space he craved for..yes a long way to go for both of them

Chapter 18:MB was always a smart guy so now he is sensing that his son is trying to cover up something.He does get the

feeling that it has to do something with Dushyant and he is so right na that whatever Kesar is trying to hide will tear the

house apart.sigh...I loved Kesar's dialogues a lot here.His frustration and helplessness has been portrayed very

well

Kesar is trying hard to come to term with the fact that he has to share the same roof with his brother's killer and he also realizes the fact that it's has been a slow poison for Gulaal all these year,his frustration is not only for him but for her as well,he now knows why she has lost that ability to laugh and feel within the boundaries of that home,that what makes him angry and helpless

.MB and DB are rightfully worried.DB is the cupid here na.If only there was someone who could have guided Kesar in the show but that makes me admire him all the more cause he stood steadfast in his love for Gulaal throughout even when he was supposed to hate her

Yes Kesar always knew that he could not move on,she was his life period,and when he realised that she will never be able to give him that space he craved for his life stopped,yes he was moving on but to abyss leaving his life behind

I

really loved the dialogue where DB says that it is not wrong to love your wife but you have to become worthy of her

love.That was nice.Aditi...

DB understand both Kesar and Gulaal very well,she wants him to understand his responsibilities and there by making himself worthy of her love,she wants him to be her support and her strength and that's what she tell him na,slowly but surely Gulaal will realize this too in her opinion and will come around and accept his love ..

I am now really looking forward to the next chapter to see how Gulaal reacts.Will she go out

with Kesar and will they be having a talk...will Kesar speak his mind?uff so many questions and they are all making me

impatient.Eagerly waiting for the weekend to come😍

oh forgot to add the little talk between DB and Gulaal was beautiful.DB does understand Gulaal very well na.loved that bit

a lot.

so yeh le a big hug for the two wonderful updates🤗I am so happy to be back😃

ok there is something wrong with the formatting.I tried to make it right but it is not working.and really sorry about the haphazard nature of my comments😭

Thank you Partner for such lovely and detailed analysis,you guys are my constant support without which it would have been difficult to continue Thanks for always being there,it means a lot🤗

Aditi 🤗 Thankoos much for continuing with your PMs, without which I'd totally miss updates given my absence on this forum! And I came and realized I'd missed TWO chapters!!! 😲 But then I realized that you'd been superfast and done two quickies!!!

Hey Jzee I know the forum is not completly deserted only 4 or 5 of us who still couldn't move on are regulars here but no complaints,I know it's been long time since the show ended so naturally it's the right thing as well😳

So here goes chapter 17 - The last part, the diary entry, out of nowhere reminded me of how Gulaal was technically never supposed to do complete shingaar as per the mannat for her birth. And how, until Vasant came along looking for his water finding angel Nirja, she'd never worn paayal to keep up the mannat. How Vasant changed that for her. Out of no intention to bind - but how, truly, it did bind her in a way that she herself could not break free even when chances came and went! I loved the writing and flow of the entire chapter - as always - including how you wove in the making of a BIG Kesar Dushyant storm in such a subtle and unsuspecting manner with the mere mischief of mango felling and Dushyant's harmless act to help the farmer ... but what TRULY moved me was the diary entry. In a matter of seconds, I relived the whole thing that was Gulaal's pre-Talsagra past... all that went into her going from Gulaal to Nirja to Gulaal... what a wonderful wonderful show this was - and what a stupendous job you do bringing back entire flashes of whole chunks of the show! 👏

Thanks Jzee for your lovely and encouraging comments,I didn't realize this tiill you pointed out that she was not supposed to wear payal having missed much of the pre-leap section of the show What I was trying to connect using that reflection was Vasant's thought process to Gulaal's diary entry and how it made perfect sense to Kesar who along with Gulaal will now have to bear the brunt of that tathashtu that was enticed out of Gulaal ,The only difference here is unlike his show counterpart Kesar is aware of Gulaal's reasons and her dilemma,he will soon have to come to terms with this and then make her understand how futile and impossible it is to live in the past,everyone has to move forward and give life another chance especially when you have someone to live for😳

***

Reading Chapter 18 later today and will be back after!

Ok will wait-Thanks for your lovely comments,it means a lot and thanks for getting here to read this it's enough for me to keep going🤗

Chapter 19

It's my turn to share the burden of responsibilities

Part I

"Kesar, MB tujhe bula rahe hai bahar,tera nashta bhi wahi le aati hu..."

"Gulaal mujhe tujhse kuch baat karni hai...", "Kesar MB bahar bula rahe hai", Kesar left from there giving a side glance to Gulaal , signalling her to see him as soon as she could get away

JK who was watching this silent exchange between them smirked and addressing Sudha spoke loudly "Kuch sikh Gulaal se, kaise kabu mein rakhte hai apne pati ko,agar yehi kaam tune kiya hota toh mera beta aaj mere pass hota,sach kehti hu PB iske rehte hue Kesar kissi aur ki baat manene se raha,apne pallu se badh ke rakha hai bachpan se ab kya chodegi usse,dekha nahi kaise apni patni ko bahar leke jane ki baat kar raha tha...pata nahi apna kiya hua vaada isse yaad hai bhi ya nahi..."

"Jamna Kaki mujhe apne saare vachan achi tarah se yaad hai,aap ko yaad dilane ki jarurat nahi,PB main janti hu Kesar ka bachpana hai yeah,uska mere prati lagaav usse yeah sab kehlwa raha hai,aap nishchit rahiye,main aap ko shikayat ka koi mauka nahi dungi,Kesar ko bhi samjha dungi..."

"Kya samjhayegi Gulaal,Jab samjhana chahiye tha,tab toh kuch kaha nahi,ab shayad bahut der ho chuki hai,woh mujhse keh chuka hai..."

"PB aap sab kuch jante hue bhi kyun aisa keh rahi hai,Mere liye Vasant hi sab kuch tha aur woh hamesha hi sab kuch rahega,Kesar ki nadani hai yeah,aur main uski nadani mein uska saath nahi dungi aap fiqr na kare...",she left for her room not knowing what to say further and PB lost in her thought mumbled "Gulaal Kesar ka bachpan sawarne ke liye tumhare uthaye woh kadam ka saath dekar maine apne bete ke bhavishya ke saath bahut bada khilwad kar diya hai,bhagwaan kare tera vishwaas sahi ho aur mera darr bebuniyaad..."

Gulaal was restless, she was staring at Vasant's picture but MB's words were haunting her,"Tumhare rishte ko samaj toh pati patni ki nazaro se hi dekhega,jab Kesar bada hoke yeah rishte ke mayne samajhne lagega,apne pati hone ke adhikaar magne lagega tab tu kya karegi Gulaal,kya jawab degi usse,tune dono ke bhavishya ko bahut bade daav pe laga diya hai tere yeah nirnay se Gulaal..."

MB and Kesar had walked up to the courtyard after their breakfast,putting his hand on Kesar's shoulder MB had asked him if he wanted to tell him something that was bothering him from last three years,something that had kept him away all these years,something that had his eyes were not able to hide,something that was breaking him slowly...

Kesar was surprised and holding MB hand had asked for his forgiveness for keeping away for so long, failing in his duty as son in shouldering his responsibilities and talking rudely to him the other night

"Per yehi toh main janena chahta hu na tujhse, aisi kaunsi baat hai jo tujhe andar hi andar khaye ja rahee hai beta,main janta hu tu kissi baat ko lekar bahut pareshaan hai,toh mujhse baat kar na beta,kya main iss layak nahi ki teri takleef mein teri koi madad hi kar saku..." MB said lovingly ruffling his hair

"MB aisi koi baat nahi hai,aap toh jante hai agar mujhe koi takleef ho toh main kabhi chup nahi rehta,har takleef ka ant ya samadhaan turant hi dudh leta hu..isliye aap bilkul nischint ho jayiye agar aisi koi baat hui toh main aap ko jarur bataunga..."

"Kesar main janta hu bachpan se tere man mein kuch sawal uth rahe hai jiska jawab aaj tak hum mein se kissi ne tumhe nahi diya,hum sab tumhare gunehgaar hai beta,uss waqt tu bahut chota tha kuch bhi samaj ne ke liye, isliye tere har sawalo ko nazarandaz kiya hamne per yeah silsila tere bade hone per toh khatam ho jana chahiye th, teen saal pehle maine koshish bhi ki t hi,lekin meri koshisho mein jarur koi kami reh gayee hogi jo aaj tak tere sawalo ka jawab nahi de paya tujhe,tere saath Gulaal ka DV ek woh samjhauta tha jo tum dono ko hi majboori mein sweekar karna pada tha,Gulaal ki iss ghar ke prati,tere prati jo jimmedaari thi uski wajah se aur teri nasamji or apne nirany lene ke liye uchit umra na hone ki majboori,isliye aaj tak maine woh rishte ko nahi mana beta,agar tere mann mein iss rishte ko lekar koi aashanka..."

"Nahi MB,main manta hu bachpan mein iss rishte ko lekar mere mann mein kayi sawal the jiske jawab mujhe nahi mil rahe the uss waqt ki meri nasamji ki wajah se aap ko bhi maine kai baar woh kehne aur karne pe majboor kiya jo aap kabhi nahi chahte the,per aaj main iss rishte ko lekar katai hi vichaleet nahi hu,main jaan gaya hu mere kartavya aur meri jimmedaariyo ko,Gulaal ke prati aur iss ghar ke prati,main shayad Vasant Bha ki jagah kabhi na le pau per apne jimmedari yo se kabhi piche nahai hatunga,Gulaal ne apni saari umar de di iss ghar ke neev ko majboot rakhne mein,ab jab uske saath main bhi in jimmedari ko achi tarah se nibha sakta hu toh piche kyun hatu,Kya mera farz nahi uske ke prati mere kartvyo ko nibhane ka.."

MB who was looking at his son with lots of admiration and affection gestured him to follow him in his room,closing the door behind he made him sit on the bed taking the chair near by,"Kesar Gulaal ke prati teri bhavna aur tere sneh ka main aadar karta hu,per beta pati patni ka rishta sirf aadar,kartavya aur samaaj ke diye hue bandhan pe nahi tikta uss ke liye ek dusre ke prati prem hona bahut jaruri hai,ek prem hi hai jo iss rishte ki gath ko kabhi kamjor nahi hone deta,aur main bahut achi tarah se janta hu Gulaal ke man mein Vasant ke alawa..."

"MB main janta hu iss baat ko,aur yeah bhi ki woh bhale apne muh se kuch na kahe woh ekdum akeli hai,na hi woh apne liye kuch karti hai na hi apne bare mein kabhi sochti hai,agar aise halat mein hum bhi uski baat manker uske liye gaye nirnay ko sach manke chale toh uske liye kabhi bhi nyay nahi ho payega,MB main Gulaal se bahut pyaar karta hu tab se jab se Vasant Bha usse lekar pehli baar is gaav ki chaukhat per aaye the,main yeah bhi janta hu samaaj ki nazaro mein hamare iss rishte ki kya ahemiyat hai,per mera pyaar iss rishte ka mohtaaj nahi hai MB,meri jindagi mein Gulaal ki jagah koi nahi le sakta ,aur mujhe pura yakeen hai aap mujhe mere kartvayo ko pura karne se piche hatne nahi dege...

MB who was listening to Kesar with his eyes closed opened it and saw through hazy eyes clouded with tear drops, a son who had truly grown up and who had cut himself a treacherous path ahead...

To be continued...
