JC, this one was amongst the most emotional ones. reeeeeeeeely oh good good.😛 I thought i underplayed the scns a bit...because there is more emotionally taxing stuff coming up for the next several updates. I told you no, Michi are going to be very very high emotional drama. Beautifully written as always but am very angry with your Prachi (a small part of me feels sorry for her but I guess my anger has overtaken that bit). I expected that with this update. My heart went out to Milind and Suki. This poor guy has never been lucky in love so far, has he? You had brought out Milsi's feelings very beautifully , his desperation to hear Prachi negate all his accusation, his disappointment in her not doing so, his anger at being taken for a ride and more importantly at her taking advantage of his sister's vulnerability. heartwarming to hear all this. I don't know akka why i am feeling less connected to the last two parts i just updated. For some reason i needed you guys to tell me that i am doing a good job with what i wanted to bring out...kyunki in my head its all too confusing.😕 I had hoped that i would do justice to these parts because honestly its the next two parts that i am really interested in writing. but i didn't want to hurry thru this stuff to get there and make it less convincing. So glad that it worked out.
My heart went out to Suki. What a shock it must have been to hear all this at one go. A brother whom she dearly loves has been living a lie because of her and a sister-in-law who had given her a second lease of life and whom she had begun to trust appears to have staged it all to take away the one person who is the reason for her living. It was heartrenching to read how she unwillingly gave up Ritwik because she felt she and her son owed Prachi their lives. Yes its quite a shock for Sukriti. She is still delirious from it all...and is not thinking clearly. Thats why she told Prachi to take Ritwik away, but she'll regret saying that.
Coming to Prachi, it was only expected that she will not refute any of Milsi's accusations because she had already made up her mind to leave him. But what I could not comprehend is why did she want to take away Ritwik if she intends to return him back? her reasons will be explained possibly in the next chapter...or at least i'll hint at her reason. But you know what the major focus of next chapter will be. There could be two reasons for it. One, she wants to paint herself as black as possible in front of both Milsi and Suki so that they do not feel even a twinge of guilt or sorrow when she leaves. The second and the more likely one I think is for Ritwik's sake. Its is partly...but not what you are thinking. Maybe she feels that if she leaves without a trace all of a sudden it will be confusing to Ritwik and she wants to ease him into the transition. Then again, has she not been preparing him long enough? She has been asking him to do things on his own, leaving him to sleep with his real mother, telling him that she will leave him someday, letting Suki take him to school etc. So why is she now taking Ritwik away? Would it not undo all the past efforts to make him less attached to her? Well Ritwik has started to get attached to Sukriti but he is still not in a mind frame that Sukriti is his mother. To him Prachi is still his mother and he'll not be happy to be away from her. More than that Prachi needed to take Ritwik away for now...she wasn't expecting to exit from Mishra Mansion so soon, i mean today, right now. She had thought she had a few more weeks and the transition then will be even smoother. But she couldn't leave Ritwik at this time...and why will be answered soon.
Moreover, how can she bear the tears of a mother who tells her that she was asking for her life by taking Ritwik away? Is not your Prachi a kind soul who would not hurt a fly? Why then is she wounding so many? Is the secret she is harbouring worth all this pain? Her taking away Ritwik has little to do with her secret. But in a way it does. She can't see Suki's pain but like the title of the chapter says, its the hardest decision for her to make. The chapter has been full of difficult decisions that all of them had to make. Sometime, you got to do things that you don't really enjoy doing but you do them because its for the best.
I am really at the end of my tolerance limit for the antics of your Prachi. I can't find a single logical explanation which will justify her behaviour. I don't know about your Milsi but I am finding it hard to forgive her for the torture she is putting all her loved ones through. I think by the time you decide to reveal her secret I would have already lost all sympathy for her that I am afraid her reason will just not be good enough for me to feel the same about her, especially since I think it has something to do with a man who is dead and gone for long. Why should the living suffer because of what she thinks she owes to this man?
remember i replied to someone's post once and said that i am afraid you all will start hating Prachi at some point. That point is this. I was building up as much sympathy for her as possible without giving away too much and now all that sympathy is going to go into thin air...but don't worry, i am sure you all will cry for her too when she tells you why she is doing the things she is doing.
Oh I forgot. If Alaap had indeed changed, (she too appears to think he has, going by her asking Milsi to give him another chance), She is not entirely sure...she thought he did but she hasn't spoken to him in person or in length to know that herself. is her silence on the issue not killing away the chance of Suki to finally finding happiness? Her tacit agreement that she was behind Alaap's proposal and this was a part of a larger plan to retain Ritwik has virtually ruined everything for Alaap too. yes this had pretty much ruined any chance of Alaap and Suki getting together. Now his good intentions will also be looked up as suspect. Is your Prachi so selfish that inorder to find her escape route out of Milind Mansion she would jeapardise the happiness of her sister-in-law and her brother? well she is not sure where Alaap's head is. She too may have mistaken Alaap by watching the video. So you can't say she ruined it for them. Milind was against Alaap anyway. So there was a very little small chance that he would ever agree and that just got killed by Alaap's video.
Grrrrr...... I cant tell you just how angry I am now with Prachi. If I get my hands round her slender neck I would wring it myself. lolz...not yet akka...wait for another few chapters.
