A tale of metamorphosis, haunting memories, hallucinations and revelations of love that we all succumbed to because of the magic it wrought upon us may fall victim this week to the cruel realities of commercial TV. Looking at the general despondency that seems to have overcome practically every member of the LTL forum this weekend, I wondered whether it was time to start the post-mortem of the essence of Dutta and Nakusha's story. Do we all have to be dragged down by the spiral of shooting pain and despair that seems to be freezing the hearts of two of the most loved TV characters in recent times? Unfortunately, this E-LS is close to our hearts to the point that it is almost real for many. Do we have to be to go through a repeat of every single tribulations that Dutta and Nakusha will be forced to go through before they are able to resuscitate a spellbinding bond that had already made them one entity in spite of the fact that their relationship had never crossed the final barriers a union of two individuals entails, but it would have eventually, I am sure because they are one soul. So here's a rambling message of hope to our wounded lovebirds who will have to prove all their detractors wrong and prove that fairy tales can become true. Remember that "When the world says, "Give up,"Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."(Anonymous)
Dutta, understanding Nakusha would have been a huge part of forgiving the one person you cherish most on earth. Why are you hell bent on proving to the world that all the love that she had showered on you was not enough to erase the deep fears that still seem to be raiding your heart and soul to the point that you are ready to let go, your only passport to your personal redemption and hold on to the last vestiges of sanity. We loved you because you are the first TV character who taught many how to look beyond the crust which hides the real person and you are now all set to give reasons to the cynics who always shouted that you have gone too far down the black pits to ever come back. You know that this is not true. You know that you always had more humane qualities that those who professed to be but are letting the dark forces within your inner self suppress you. You never let them overcome you before, why now? You surely do not want to end up as the lone star which would eventually burn itself in its own blaze along with Nakusha, the angel who believed that you were the brightest one to have graced the skies that she contemplated. Are you really going to contemplate for a fraction of a second that she could possibly be unfaithful to you? Are you not going to make the smallest of effort in bridging the widening gulf between the two of you? You owe it to Nakusha and to yourself. She is the one person who may have brought the ultimate turmoil this time round, but she is also the only one to be able to appease your heart, to satiate the hunger of love embedded deep in your soul. She is only one to love you unconditionally for the person you are. Please dont let go of the woman you love so much that you felt the need to take the sacred vows of marriage a second time to reiterate your trust and her status in your life . You are the reason for which she lives and endures every pain without flicking an eyelid. She is the one single ray of light and hope in an existence that may have a golden exterior but is completely dreary and desolate otherwise. She did a mistake but even the convict who walks the lane of death gets one chance to explain him/herself. Wont you give that chance to the love of your life?
What about you Nakusha? Where has all that sound resolve which saw hope in the most despairing of moments gone? Despite being robbed of your identity for many years and suffered the most terrible indignities, life could possibly throw at your face, you fought against the tides because of your beliefs in yourself and the world that your beloved Bappa had ordained for you to the point that you became the epitome of perfection for Dutta, the one person you let impregnate and brand your very soul. Yes, you erred briefly because you were blinded by your filial duties towards your family and that of Dutta's but also because of your own guilt which had played havoc with what you always knew was going to be the biggest hurdle of your life, i.e, tell the truth to Dutta. It is too late now but all is not lost and we saw this week that you do not need to have any fears as to Dutta still being confused between the two images of Nakusha. Search deep within yourself and knock on that simplistic philosophical side of Nakusha and you will find a way to snap Dutta out of his current limbo. You can do it. I have never been one of your greatest fans but greatly admired the chit of a girl from an obscure, insalubrious slum of this world reach out to the deepest recesses of the heart and mind of an inaccessible/hardened Don with a heart of gold. Had you not touched him with your goodness, he would never have realized his capacity to love, and would have, eventually, closed all the doors that led to his heart which still hid a vulnerable, lovable and beautiful human being. Dutta belongs to you and you cannot possibly put the one person you love the most at stake now. Arise Nakusha and fight back. You will be hurt and humiliated on this dreadful journey but it would not be as terrible as the anguish you have had to face for many years in the face of the circumstantial disdain/hatred/derision heaped on you because this time you know that you will find the love/light of your life at the end of this epic battle.
To Dutta and Nakusha together, I would say that life is difficult and this is the ultimate if not one of the greatest truths. You both have a great gift in the form of this surreal almost ethereal love that binds you. More importantly, you both have the will (that you seem to be suppressing) to extend each others' self for the purpose of nurturing each other's groW*H. You just have to put your hands forward and you will find the fingers intertwined of their own accord. You both need and complete each other because you were meant to meet and rise in love. ❤️So hurry up and make up for the time lost. Happiness awaits both of you.❤️
PS: I mentioned a post-mortem in the first paragraph of this post but eventually, decided to defer it in the form of a series of post that would filter through on different aspects/readings of LTL during the coming week.
