Welcome back Ria.
Since my complaints on unfinished stories are out of the way, I will concentrate on commenting on your new story.
Very good analyzation on Advay's state of mind. Hope you will analyze Chandni's state of mind too! Or is it very clear from the 11 episodes which were aired already?
I still can't get my head around taking revenge from an 8 year old.
I will explain why...
Dev and Chandni were best friends. Heck they even carved their names on a stone. He was protective of her. He taught her so many things and shared his knowledge with her. He gives her strength. More importantly he knows that she speaks her mind.
So, Dev must have seen some good qualities in Chandni too!
Chandni openly asked him whether his mother is a witch because she saw her flying.
This was before the said mother was burnt to death.
Dev could have said any of the following
1.No you are wrong, she does not fly.
2.Silly girl, my father was carrying my mother/she was jumping on a trampoline and it must have looked like she was flying.
3.She does fly but, keep it as a secret.
4.I do not know, I will find out.
Advay kept talking about Chandni's betrayal for not keeping a secret/for lying. Was he talking about the above incident or the below?
He was running away with his kid brother and asked Chandni to keep it as a secret. She still informed the villagers.
In both instances (telling the priests about Dev's mother's flying abilities or telling the villagers about Dev and Miku's whereabouts) Chandni did not hesitate even for a second.
If Dev is a very good friend, won't she hesitate? It did not look like someone prompted her. Even if she was blackmailed into revealing those half-truths, I did not see any kind of hesitation or fear on her face.
So, before Advay decides a punishment for Chandni, won't any of these memories play in his mind?
You can say something else has happened to make Dev believe that Chandni betrayed him. Let us leave that speculation aside for a second.
Dev's mother was burnt to death in front of Chandni's eyes on the basis of her declaration. Dev and Miku had to run away from their home and town because of her revelation on their whereabouts. Dev was her best friend and she is still waiting for him to come back. So, what does Chandni think about the incidents 16 years ago? Does she remember them? Does she feel guilty? Does she feel sorry for Dev and Miku? Is she waiting for Dev's return, so she can ask for forgiveness?
Chandni's keeps recollecting her trauma during kidnapping.
Wasn't she traumatised when Dev's mother was burning or father was bleeding to death or Dev running away with Miku in front of her?
I still can't hold her responsible for what happened to Dev's family. The adults and priest must have told her not to feel guilty for revealing the truth.
Like I said before, a grownup Advay should understand that Chandni said what she said, but it is the adults with ulterior motives, who actually killed his parents.
Similarly, Chandni said what she said, but shouldn't she remember those incidents and shudder even for a second? For goodness sake, this happened with her best friend Dev!
Hope I am making sense.
Cheers...
