'Rukmani, u always come when a huge storm is to hit my life, but today i will make a deal with you, u won't come to meet me ever again after today, because after today ur that friend, that old Paro, will die. She will be finished, and a new Paro will be reborn who will have no relation with either u or her old life, who will have no memories of that time. because of that don't come again. Don't come back to remind me of anything.'"
And Rukmani listens to her and goes away, and Paro unable to stop herself turns to watch and then as she has always done when bidding goodbye to Rukmani she follows her..
But two steps and she stills.. For where Rukmani was leaving, on the threshold of that very doorway stood Rudra...
Paro bid goodbye to her past. And at the very moment her past left her, entered her future in to the very room she was standing.
And Rudra, what did he do? He turned around and firmly closed the door on her past... he is the one to do it... Paro asked Rukmani to leave, her past to leave.. but still kept a few steps to follow after it, to stop only when her future Rudra stood before her..
And he locked out the past as he walked towards her after ensuring that the past cannot come back to her, from the doorway it left her at...
And through the verbal and physical tussle her kangan, the kangans of the mother who gave him life and the mother who brought her up entangles itself on Rudra's kurta...tying them together..
And she drags away uncaringly trying to break the bond, flimsy though it is, she tries to break it...
And its he, who stops her attempts to break away...for the moment...
And his words offer to free her.. she refuses.. their words said that.. but on the other hand, he tried to hold on to the bond while she struggled to be free... so finally he untangles the fragile bond that bound them together and flings away her arm from him... cz their words n actions were the exact opposites...
The past is already gone, and the future is also leaving and going away...leaving her alone...
I wonder if this is symbolic of what would happen with the Thakur at the mela...
