"The human race tends to remember the abuses to which it has been subjected rather than the endearments. What's left of kisses? Wounds, however, leave scars."
There are far too many silent sufferers. Not because they don't yearn to reach out, but because they've tried and found no one who cares."
The woman knows from living with the abusive man that there are no simple answers. Friends say: "He's mean." But she knows many ways in which he has been good to her. Friends say: "He treats you that way because he can get away with it. I would never let someone treat me that way." But she knows that the times when she puts her foot down the most firmly, he responds by becoming his angriest and most intimidating. When she stands up to him, he makes her pay for it"sooner or later. Friends say: "Leave him." But she knows it won't be that easy. He will promise to change. He'll get friends and relatives to feel sorry for him and pressure her to give him another chance. He'll get severely depressed, causing her to worry whether he'll be all right. And, depending on what style of abuser he is, she may know that he will become dangerous when she tries to leave him. She may even be concerned that he will try to take her children away from her, as some abusers do."
The rat is back, the snake is busy swaying with happiness, the wounded and helpless have become strong and words fail me for the MALES - 2 LAMPPOSTS, 2 so called PILLARS OF SUPPORT SHLOK AND VARAD.
Preparations are on in full swing for the naming ceremony. Guests begin to arrive. Anjali is in her room trying to pick a sari and NA walks in, sees the saris strewn all over and begins playing his games. Oh he never lets an opportunity get by him. Had to assert his control every single time and also humiliate her. How can he have a good night's sleep if he does not abuse his wife be it verbal or physical or emotionally?? The wife turns all meek and timid and then he becomes magnanimous and allows her to choose a sari to wear for the function and reiterates his demand that girls should not be at their mother's house and are a burden. It is only a girl and not a boy where they ought to be celebrating the birth of a grandchild. He grandly orders her to dress up for the funeral and not a ceremony as girls don't have any identity of their own as on marriage their name changes, so the whole naming ceremony was pointless. For the sake of his image it had to be done. Baba wants to be left alone to gloat and plot his next step. Does not want anyone to accidentally overhear him and put a spanner in his works. HOT DADDY WAS SO EVIL AND HIS THINKING EVEN LOWER. 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡
Sojal is dressing and needs money to buy makeup. Why does she need them, does she have a rocking social life or is AM besieged with visitors on a daily basis that she has to be dressed like a doll. Her husband hardly notices her. Varad is distracted and tells her to take money from his wallet. See, this habit of yours is going to prove to be your undoing Varad. Sojal is going to find something suspicious and about Mansi this way. she earlier found the movie tickets and you lied your way out of that one. Soon, you won't be able to do that also and all your explanations are going to fall on deaf ears. It was her lucky day, her stars were shining very brightly, as she glanced upon a jewelry box. She is avaricious and opens it to find an exquisite necklace which she promptly wears. Never one to take the slow approach in such matters and is overcome with love for her hubby, who just grins and grits his teeth and bears it as she gives him a tight hug. She just needs a few gifts every now and then, a dinner date and you are all set with Sojal. She is deluding herself.
The kirloskars are alive and well and they make an appearance after months. They are greeted warmly by Aasthu and she gives them a hug. Returns with pathidev in tow and a gift for the little one. Jyoti is overjoyed to see them again as are they. Everyone except the mother has names for the little one and Shlok, Sojal, Varad give their choices. Aastha looks on and goes near Anjali and asks her what her choice is and the reply is ANAYA - ONE WHO IS FREE FROM ALL BURDENS AND BONDAGE, A LIBERATED SPIRIT. Such a beautiful and lovely name for someone who was born defying all odds and to a mother who went to such lengths to ensure her safety and her very life. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Aastha decides to play her game and ensures that the baby is name Anaya. Till this while there is no sign of the DOTING GRANDPA. Sojal hands over her gift as do AAstha and Anjali too stating it is from her father. As Jyoti announces her baby's name, Abhay walks in and announces it as ANYA ABHAY DESHMUKH. 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲
STUNNED... SHOCKED...SPEECHLESS...DISBELIEF...ANGER...DISGUST...HELPLESSNESS
What followed next was a finely scripted drama by NA who was the director and his actors who Abhay and sulbha tai. The apology, the fervernt pleas, BIG FAT CROCODILE TEARS, owning the GIRL CHILD, grand gestures were all designed to mesmerize the audience into spontaneous applause and the handing over of his PRECIOUS JEWEL JYOTI ALONG WITH HER BABY. HIS MEAL TICKET FOR A LIFETIME AND A LIFE OF EASE AND COMFORT. ONE COULD HAVE DROWNED IN ABHAY'S CROCODILE TEARS, HE SHED SO MUCH. 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
Abhay even made sulabha tai confess that her greed and avarice was behind all of Jyoti's troubles and she would never ever trouble her again. Amidst all this, shlok just moved a few steps and stood in front of him, did not speak a word,was utterly silent. Varad was glaring at Abhay and was also rendered MUTE. ANJALI COULD NOT SPEAK BUT IF LOOKS COULD KILL ABHAY WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNT TO ASHES RIGHT THERE. SHE WAS ALSO DISGUSTED BY THE DRAMA AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO STOP IT. 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢
JYOTI WAS TOO SHAKEN AND DREADED FACING HER TORMENTORS. SHE COULD JUST LOOK ON WITH HER DEEPEST FEARS FACING HER AND COMING TO THE REALIZATION THAT SHE IS NEVER GOING BACK TO HER HUSBAND, HER NEMESIS AND THE ALMOST MURDERER OF HER BABY. 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡
Aastha was only one to speak up and tried to make Abhay carry out his threat of cutting his wrists if he is not forgiven. NA -comes down and assesses the situation before he utters his pearls of wisdom and bestows his grace upon his hapless son in law or should I say RAT IN LAW. The greatest words of wisdom uttered by NA ---- I need time to decide what to do with yoU and give my verdict.
What more does he need, aahhh yes BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER. THE TWO ABUSERS NA AND ASHLOK ARE OF A KIND AND RECOGNIZE AND ACKNOWLEDGE EACH OTHER (MY HAS) HENCE THE FINELY ENACTED DRAMA BY THEM FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE FAMILY. ABHAY TAKES A STEP TO SEE HIS BABY AFTER BEING GRANTED PERMISSION BY HOT DADDY BUT SURPRISE SURPRISE JYOTI IS NOT THE PUSHOVER SHE ONCE WAS, NOT MEEK OR SUBMISSIVE OR TIMID. SHE STOPS HIM IN HIS TRACKS.
THE TIGRESS HAS WOKEN UP AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT HER YOUNG FROM THE RATS AND SNAKES OF THIS WORLD.
I AM NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE 2 PILLARS. THE LESS SAID THE BETTER.
AVDHOOT THE VOICE OF REASON AND SANITY STOPPED KALINDI FROM SPEAKING AND SO DID AJJU. THE KIRLOSKARS NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME. HATS OFF TO THEM. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
PRECAP - NA is fuming and enraged that his baccha questioned his mahaan baba's decision. He is onto plan B to ensure that it never repeats. Control is fast slipping away from NA's hands.
