Bhalo achho Stuti di ???
A lot of things happened in this last-but-not-the-least chapter. It was emotionally exhausting, to feel it happening as a reader, to let it happen as an author and to brave it all , letting the storm take over as the characters justly did...
Yet I shall stick to the rule : I will begin at the beginning, go on till the end, and then stop.
So I begin by telling that I really liked all that's happened the way you let them happen. Such lives can't culminate in to happy ending of sorts...👏👏for your bold efforts.
Your Jalal doesn't have much to do...he acts on his conscience and is toyed along by master play of Fate.Sadly, he doesn't emerge as a heroic martyr, and even though he has not poisoned his dying wife, he is no better than a murderer...for he had poisoned a life, rather lives with his oscillating conflicts of conscience and emotions . He could never man up and come to terms with the twist and turns of his life.
It's a difficult character, and even more difficult to imagine oneself as a man like Jalal...first he's given rosogollas (read love), overwhelmed with sweetness, then plunged into depths of bitterness...Jodha remains like an unachievable mirage of sorts whose hope he never loses...but bitterness strangulates the best of his dreams, and when he is all about to submit himself to fate's mercy, he's baited again with hopes of sweetness...and Jalal being a man of flesh and blood eagerly grabs it as his lifeline...
Ruquaiya is wrong and wronged all the way. She gets her share and learns, it's was some one else's, so to make her importance felt she chooses her path,which definitely does her no good. Her intentions weren't negative, but the path she pursued, surely was. You can't health a wound by making another one. In life and in death she remains an unanswered question to Jalal.
If anyone is really punished without any fault...that's definitely Jodha, and she manages to really look strong and supporting...but then again she had never been in the position of Jalal...yet her unwavering faith, her love for Jalal , her unselfish attitude towards Ruquaiya, her optimism creates a convincing appeal altogether...
It was a pleasure reading your story. Would love to read more such works from you...
Till then, bhalo theko, kemon? 😳
