Okay, am Back!
Sorry, got caught up with other things after booking this space - you know how it goes!
Where to begin? I can't remember the last time I really sat down and reflected on this masterpeice of yours Rehana...really.
I think I simply want to start with this "alliance" of marriage of sorts, and everything its shaped up to be...
So they are married and back in Mumbai and every day learning new things about each other. Heer is finding that she can trust him, after all, and not only that, but that she loves him, with the whole of her heart - with every ounce of her being.
I am, in short, in love, with your Premeer....and dearest Pratham, of course.
Ahem...beginning with first things first...the Reception...and, some important relationships...
Prem's relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Gupta. What a beautiful relationship. I love how Preet's parents have simply adopted Prem as their own and see him as their son. If I thought that his relationship with Ash was beautiful, then I am even more in love with his heartwarming relationship with his makeshift parents. It really brings me to tears to think how sometimes, when out own flesh and blood can't understand us, perfect strangers become our family. Love this element, dear.
Mrs. Breganza....Prem's Housekeeper/Nanny/Mother-figure...Caretaker....whoever she is....I loved this women from the moment she came into the frame. For some reason she just exudes a motherly love that melts the heart....I love how she took to Heer immediately - no questions asked. My guess is that she knows all about Prem and Heer...and little Pratham...my guess is that Prem does in fact treat her more like a mother figure, and has not left her in the dark about his little family....I love it.
Prem thought to ask Heer's good friend Veera to be at her side for the important occasion....god I am putty in this guys hands....How can Heer even pretend not to be head over heels madly, desperately in love with him?
Veera and Heer...my heart was soaring when the girls reunited at last. When Veera last saw Heer, Heer had just vanished, leaving so many questioned unaswered...and now, years later, the truth was finally unfolding, and Veera, though confused as hell, instead of asking 21 questions, just opened her arms to Heer and excepted things for what they were because all that mattered at that moment was that her friend was happy. I can't tell you how very beautiful that was.
PRATHAM....Have I told you HOW MUCH I LOVE this LITTLE Bundle of JOY?!?!??!?! Everything abou him, Rehana, I just love him to pieces - I can't even tell you! His constant need to jump from one person to the other because something catches his eye, the way he burries his head in the groove of mommy's neck when he's tired, the way he always needs to please mommy, his constant popularity contest against daddy, and, most importantly, his new found "buddy" in daddy...I JUST LOVE HIM.
Ahem, backtracking just a bit - Pratham, and Prem...It was a very special thing, Indeed, to see the two really bonding for the first time, when they woke up early, before mommy did, and Prem vowed to make up for lost time, as he showed him a room full of new toys just for him. The scene brought a tear to my eyes, and the the gravity of Prem's emotions during the scene, didn't hit me, until much later....
Now...coming to more recent developments....more recent...heartbreaking developments....
May I just say, I knew something like this was coming, and so I was not surprised when it finally happened, but, when it did, my heart positively broke, along with Prems...and Heers....
To come face to face, with a past that has haunted him for years and years....and, that too, on a day as special as this one...
To come face to face with his "father" that never really was....
To be 11, and accused, of killing your mother...To be 11..and be accused...of killing - your mother....
I can't begin to fathom....I can feel, even now, my heart breaking into peices as I attempt to sympathize with Prem...as I attempt, to understand what he must have gone through...and what Heer must be going through now...
All I can say is, thank god she was with him then, to simply hold him, and let him weep in her arms, for then, he needed nothing more, than the warmth of her caring love, to tell him that she did not accuse him of a crime that he was declared guilty of....all he needed then, was for her to tell him, that she was on his side...for once, he was not alone....
I love the special bond that was created between the two then....she, gave herself fully and completely to him then, surrendered herself to him, knowing that her heart belonged to him now and that there was no turning back...and he, could finally rest assured of her love for him....
It was positively beautiful.
I love that you took the time to describe the meeting between Mr. Gupta and Mr. Mittal...to have Mr. Gupta talk some "fatherly" sense into "Mr. Mittal" - to make him see or - fully realize, the error of his ways.
And, I loved, the most recent encounter or Mr. Mittal with Heer and Pratham...Mr. Mittal's apology and Heer's acceptance of this man, and his effort to repent...for he was, after all, her beloved Prem's father...and so, her's as well.
Thank you Rehana, for what can only be described as a beautiful story of wonderful, deep, soulful relations that leave the reader laughing, crying, and living, every moment, with the protagonists.
I look forward to the next installment....
A few final notes:
Why is it that Prem always falls asleep without having dinner? 😆
You write the passion between Premeer brilliantly - its hard not to get caught up in the moment with them. Simply breathtaking! 😳
Love,
