Besides, there is something that is called: nipping in the bud.
As you said, Nazifa has always taught her daughter to always speak the truth and never lie. And if once you get away with your lies, it actually becomes a habit. Aaj outings and Shayan ke baare main jhooth bola hai, maybe aage jakar kisi aur cheez ke baare main bole aur uske baad kisi aur ke baare main...
Exactly! And that's my issue with the whole approach.
I might sound like I am bragging a little here but one thing I have realized after I became an aunt, there were several incidents where me or my siblings, we actually got beaten up quite a few times and our parents were never so gentle about it. But if there was one tight slap then 5 minutes later I had my mom, sometimes both of my parents and sometimes my brother who would explain why did it happen and that's the sole reason I don't lie.
But I have seen people being too casual like are baccha/bacchi hain, baad mein sudhar jayenge but it never happened. Koi cheez asman se nahi tapakta. Bacche bhi clay ki tarah hoti hain, mould aap ko hi karna hain. Aage chal ke koi Shravan Kumar nahi banne wala hain.
Like, if we see it, Shayan's father is an extremely disciplined person and one can understand why he has grown up to be such a kind young man.
But just because Ariana doesn't have a father, should Nazifa just overlook everything no matter how big it is? Even today she was screaming at her grandma and I actually wanted to slap her that ypu are 8, learn how to behave. But here.......... 😡 😡 😡
Rest, about Shayan and Othoi... I too feel bad for him because ultimately it is he who is going to lose everything. Nazifa could be really angry with Othoi, might not even talk to her for some time but ultimately it is Shayan who is going to lose everything here.
Felt really bad for him because he was the one who genuinely felt this whole plan was a big mistake and he would disclose everything to Nazifa himself but disaster struck. 😒
