They say nobody can hurt more than a closest friend, nobody can hold a mirror of ugly truth in more firm hands, nobody can give a cruel jolt of reality in straight simple direct sentences than a bosom friend. Because he / she knows u inside out... the boggarts lurking inside deep dark alleys of your memory to terrify you, accepts you with your anomalies and lash out at you if you try to rebuke her for the shortcomings overlooking ur own imperfection .
Some thing similar happened with vibha today. Vikram forgot in his anger and grief of seeing shova groveling in front of that despicable vermin , that while he so strongly advocating sobha a new life and hope, he himself was stuck in his past and had not moved an inch in past 10 yrs. And that woman was a mere girlfriend...granted he had loved her with all his heart and dreamt a happily ever after life with her, but still he had not actually lived with her...he had not woke up seeing her face every morning or went to sleep kissing her goodnite, he had not given birth to a new life out of her, he had not shared life's small triumphs or losses with her , quarreled with her for a bad dinner or surprised her with a diamond necklace. His attachment was hardly comparable to shova's 9 compact years full of happy memories of life with a man who has suddenly become a stranger, a monster with turn of events. And yet he could not move on, the loss, the betrayal gnawed him so viciously that a normal, happy,caring man became a living zombie. And seriously he was certainly in no state to lecture sobha to move on and open herself to the possibilities of new life.Especially when as shova put it, her past is still a vivid present...she has to live with it, deal with it and fight with it every passing moment.
But then again he couldnot really help himself, hearing that sobha suddenly disappeared so late at night, his ground shook beneath his feet for a few precious moments until she emerged with defeat written all over her face. The anger for that man who made her life hell, made him utter sarcastic remarks ...what was she thinking when she went to plead senses from him ?? that he will hug her and say all is well ?? the pain she was going through was so unbearable that the couldnot just stop himself to emphasize the point, MOVE ON !! And hell the reaction he received ! In fact shova herself realised as soon as she finished her tirade,what she had done in the heat of the moment, she had opened the hidden box, threw its contents at his face and emptied it in front of audience. Hell !! she slapped her head...why she did that ??
And he staggered back home still stunt at the vehemence of her accusation , the mirror answered for him. She was right again. That witch has cursed his whole life with her evil spell, petrified him into the past and robbed off his ability to move on.
And even the realization hit right place itz manifestation was all different ! He became snappy, grumpy and unreasonably hot headed...sobha's presence might have calmed her down,but her marked absence and the news she would not be able to come soon hammered in the last nail in the coffin ! he had become addicted so much to sobha's soothing balm like approach to his feverish hot temper that unknowing he actually behaved like a tantrum throwing child waiting sobha pacify him...and with that crappy piece of information,his already ghoulish mood just snapped...how could she just leave him like that and went vacationing with her family ?? his heart burned so much that all reasons,informations, possibility,logic be damned ! She went away without seeing him personally and he would be unreasonable all day, he would be cranky, he would eat his employee's heads,he would not take her calls, he would make Mahesh run for his life , and he would sulk at the disorder. He would miss her all day. HAQ hai uska !!
