You know what I think. I think that he should have given her some time to explain herself. I think everyone should be atleast given that chance even if he or she is guilty.
But I think that her father is right in his position because he got such a big shock... But I do think that he should give her atleast one chance.
SPECIAL, this is such a boring topic that I'm typing this out in my sleep😛😉
I agree with Mahn786.... Even the Devil deserves ONE chance to explain himself. All he did was ask his daughter ONE question - "Did you do it?" and got ONE most unsatisfying answer "Yes" and hung up the phone.. cudn't he have hung on for ONE more minute!?!😕 He IS supposed to be the mature one here...
They say that parents try to live out their own ideals and dreams through their children... I think with Billu, it is practically a disease. He is fanatical about preserving his honesty and self-respect - which is all fine as long as he doesn't expect his Queen Victoria to follow his own Victorian principles. Unfortunately he does
I also think that this has been an especially rude shock for him because Jassi has hardly ever tried to go against him, assert herself against the hard line he takes sometimes, or engage in a battle of wills with him. She acquiesced to being Daddy's good girl because it's the Path of Least Resistance. Suddenly, they both find themselves adrift because the umbilical cord has been cut so fiercely and dramatically ... it's nasty for them both. Billu - because he realized that his daughter has a different take on things, has made different judgements from what he would have made. He can't possibly find this easy to accept - it must be traumatic. For Jassi though, it is more a question of fear of losing her father's love than anything else. She must become a good girl in his eyes again and regain his trust and affection.
Sometimes, events like this are cathartic - and actually necessary!! When handled right it can lead to a deeper understanding of their own natures, and lead to a more fulfilling relationship later on. Billu's job as a father was to teach her the right from wrong - he has done that. Now he should stick to simply having faith in her. Jassi needs to learn that she can love her father infinitely and still come into her own as an individual. Isn't that how human beings are meant to evolve??!
