Episode 100Aalingan - Part 1Khushi ke man ka peeda kanth tak bhar aayaAshruoan ki dhaar mein dhairya ksheenit hogayaIs avastha mein sahayata ke anurodh parDevi Maiyya ne Arnav ko upastit kiyaKhushi ke sainyam ka baandh toot gayaPragadhta se Arnav ko gale lagayaApne vilaap mein hruday ke bhay ko samaksh rakhaBhavuk huye Arnav, magar Khushi par hast na rakhaSahaanubhooti ke do shabd kehne ko man tha vyakulDheeraj usey bandhaane ka avsar tha anukoolEk hokar bhi adhoora tha ye bandhanKyun na poorna hua inkaa aalingan?Translation (Anuvaad):Khushi's heart's pain came up to her gulletIn the flow of tears, courage reducedOn asking for help in this situationDevi Maiyya presented ArnavKhushi's dam of patience burst outHugged Arnav affectionatelyIn her wail, poured out her heart's fearsArnav became emotional, but did not put a hand on KhushiHis heart wanted to say two words of consolationIt was an appropriate time to provide her courageInspite of being one, their bonding was incompleteWhy wasn't their hug completed?
beauty, durga. i notice deeper, richer, more difficult to access words. love that bit too. nothing like bringing words getting tucked away in little read corners right out into the most contemporary medium where everybody reads, not just the literary minded. so many words i will now have to check in the dictionary. 😆. aalingan, oh what a nice way to say hug.
loved your hug thoughts on previous page. the hug was completed really, just not the conventional way. it did what it had to, and that look between them, his eyes flowing, open, wanting to say so much, yes in that he returned her embrace. but as you beautifully point out, only he didn't understand that. i am glad he didn't, that was also beautiful.
but every time i think of his arms not reaching and completing a circle, i remember the rain, sound of car, headlights bright, a girl terrified, and a man coming rushing out of nowhere, arms reaching without any hesitation, scooping up the slight girl, whirling away with her taking her to safety, putting his own body as shield between her and harm. arms tight around her. wonder why i think of this every time.
