First congratulations on taking up a complex story , an Ashni story indeed but as Ashu n Nidhi's story n sorry for the late review ...a concised review to the 3 updates.
This is one of those stories that leaves you breathless, emotionally drained, in shock, but somehow oh, so grateful that i got to read it. Like it was somehow a gift of someone's heart that you got to share. I know I'm waxing poetic on this one but I can't help it. It was just so touching and so heart-wrenching for me. U did such an amazing job of revealing the innermost workings of two people who were in love at one point of time in their life. You can truly see the excruciating pain of the two leads while you read. The fact that u were able to do this so skillfully was phenomenal.
You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work,but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them.Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.
That's exactly wat was happening with Ashu n Nidhi...Their scars remind them that they indeed survived their deepest wounds. That in itself was an accomplishment. And they bring to mind something else, too. The damage life had inflicted on them has, in many places, left them stronger and more resilient. What hurt them in the past has actually made them better equipped to face the present.
Not to forget that both were in Nidhi's room all alone by themselves n cud hv chosen to a physical relationship but as pure n divine their love was they were only trying to touch difficult memories with some slight willingness to soften the tension. For Nidhi the only way to let go off the past was forgive Ashu for his one-sided decision. But Forgiveness is not a one off decision; it is a journey and a process that takes time, determination, and persistence. Forgiveness is not forgetting; it is simply denying your pain the right to control your life.
But the Q is that is Nidhi's behaviour justified here? Seeking comfort from Ashu when she is married?
There is an extremely sensitive area of the heart for a woman, and has plenty of opportunity to be easily bruised. When that happened wd Nidhi, she ended up putting a protective barrier to try and avoid any such pain occurring again. This barrier had her heart shielded inside n gradually becoming hardened which even Rohan cud not dismantle . Confronting Ashu after 5 yrs was the only way to peel away those hard layers surrounding her heart. love is a catalyst for our turning, our healing. Where pain & anger may gain our compliance, love captures our heart. It changes the heavy burden of the "have-to's" of imposed obedience to the "get-to's", a joyful response.
Keeping a tab on Ashu ...his pics...an EMA?
Our culture is obsessed with perfection, especially when it comes to the way women behave. The parameters of acceptability as far as morality goes are very limiting .
We all have a celeb crush at some point of time in life...keeping pics n tab on our fav celebs even after marriage...can this b called unethical?
As for Nidhi also coming face to face wd her first love made her emotionally unstable .under such conditions there is a definite tendency to act impulsively and without consideration of the consequences; the mood is unpredictable and capricious. There is a liability to outbursts of emotion and an incapacity to control the behavioural explosions. May b her interaction wd Ashu acts as a talk therapy to let go off the past. Calling it an EMA🤔...I don't think so.
