It's strange how life can mock you.
She is walking towards her own doom, head held high with her eyes blazing. Yes her doom and she knows it. yet can she do anything about it?
Lets try to put ourselves in Kushi Kumari Guptha's (no not Kushi Singh Raizada yet) position for a few miniutes shall we?
Her sister's happiness is at stake. Her love of life had taken a complete 180 degree turn and asking her to get married to him, for six months. She knows what awaits her after these six months.
She has no idea about Shyam-Arnav encounter. She doesn't know the motives behind Arnav's actions.
She must have pondered the reason for this and the only one that must have come to her mind would be that he needs her for his physical pleasure for six months and then abondon her. He had been charming to her for the past few days. A girl will easily take his advances as lust after this sudden and gut wrenching proposal. Else why would he want to marry her for just six months?
he's going to end the marriage after six months. Yes end it in such a way that she would not be left with anything.
what was she going to do after he divorces her? She would be a diviorced woman, a rejected woman in the eyes of the society. A woman who had lived with a man.
So without even signing those marriage documents, she knows that he would leave her after six months. So when she agreed to get married to him she also knew what awaited her and had accepted the inevitable. She knew her fate and silently consented for her own destruction.
Whats more painful? Dieing a slow painful death or watching and waiting for it untill it finally arrives?
Another marriage is the only option left for her after this but even then she will always be a woman who has been married before. The prospects of her being able to find another man is very slim considering the conservative background she comes from. Her family will reject her, her husband will have already abondoned her and she would be left on the streets trying to fend for herself. All these thoughts must have flashed across her mind.
In other words, she had watched her future, her life's happiness, the dreams she wove from child hood slowly collapsing in front of her eyes.
Yet does she have a choice to stop this predecamant? can she refuse? yes she can but at the cost of her sister's happiness. And the Kushi we know will never forsake her sister.
So does she really have a choice? No.
She willingly let go of her future, the dreams she cherished for the singular purpose of her sister.
can a woman make this much of a sacrifice, let go of her ideals and dreams for her sister's well being? yes she can and she had done it. That's how she has become Kushi Arnav Singh Raizada now, an empty soul with the main essence of her life drained out.
Will she ever be able to return back to that carefree Kushi of the past?
