They wanted to share the life of each other, but what was there for them to share? Very hurtful, and very pathetic situation for the one, and becoming the same for the another ( Ashu )
-- The best of the planners to get a set back... They were thinking something, happened something else completely!
I'll tell you the instance that took place in our own lives...
June' 2008... We were celebrating my sister's selection into AIPMT, and planning for how her MBBS would start... If mom is going to come along to help my sis settle into the hostel, ect-ect...
It was end of the month, when we hadn't even coursed through our happiness, when my mother detected a tumour during a self-test...
She was immediately on her feet, and got checked...
Two days, and our lives toppled upside down when we came across my mother suffering at the 2nd stage of cancer...
Life wasn't the same, we weren't the same... Everything we thought just went topsy-turvy...
That's what life is all about...
I took time to review but am satisfied cos had i reviewed two days back, it was full of my cries and might be somewhere i seemed lost!!!
-- I do completely understand that!
I give full marks to Ashu who sensed the situation so well and reacted as per the conditions. Loved his initiatives for taking the emotional charge of Nidhi and her family. Being a good and a humble person inside out, he uttered only the important issues. He seemed a lover to Nidhi, but he hid his feelings and let Nidhi do what she wanted.
-- Coming from the doctor's family, I know that doctors don't reveal everything to the patient and his family, mainly because not every detail they will be able to handle... Especially in cases like cancer... They too sense how strong the person is or will be able to handle... Sirf utna hi batate hain, or else it will break their emotional support...
Ashu sensed the same, and so didn't tell everything, but necessary details...
Fulfilling the last wishes cud be a charm for the families. But it were mere functions and i applaud Nidhi's in laws who avoided the rituals and let Nidhi go to her room. Understanding a girl whose mother is in last stages, her in laws supported her along with the much much comprehending thoughts of Ashu, and he gave the moral support as a friend first and then as a husband later.
-- Ashutosh had kept his promise of being a friend through out, and he did keep it... Though I too feel like applauding Ashu's parents who were considerate enough to think for her...😃
I really got emotional over the mother and daughter convos that were very few but had meanings lied. Nidhi always wanted her to go to the docs, she always wanted her to have a positive approach to life, but things were not in anyone's hands but in Almighty's.
-- I thought to keep the touchy sensitive things at the bare minimum... To much hurting on the wound is not a good thing... And I didn't wanted it to get draggy either...
Though I suppose Shyama ji wasn't purposefully neglecting her health, but she mustn't have herself thought of the gravity of the situation... And befor any one of them could realise, life had already slipped far away!
Sensed Ashu's feelings, felt Nidhi's condition, and got melted over her father's plight and the few words he spoke to his well chosen son in law. He managed to let himself coming out strongly. He has a daughter who is married now and has to take care of her married life, with her hubby and in laws.
-- Nidhi's father is at a very tough cross road... It is never easy to say good bye to the partner you have lived together for decades... Though he would never let spoil his daughter's life, but he will heavily miss his wife all through... But that's how life goes... You never get an easy bargain...😭
Ashu, yet did not speak much of his emotions, but for me he was fully understanding Nidhi's feelings every now and then. He let her take the decision after telling her his. He let the marriage be taking place, with an unconditional support to his wife, who had sadness prevailing around her. He made it happen for her family to go through with the time and Nidhi was free to be there with them. A good choice, The Best one i wud say.
-- Ashu had been an indispensable part of the support system the Vermas had... It shall never be the same, had he not been... Bless him, he had been there whenever he was needed...
Love makes you stronger. Nidhi wanted him to stay for sometime, thoda theher ja. And he let her take her time for the new life, for the love, and for becoming his wife.
-- "When your steps slow down, I promise to stop my feet too" that was what he must have vowed... He had taken those baby steps as Nidhi wanted to walk... That makes the essence of the story!
It was very sensitive, but very natural beauty came out with Ashu loving her so much, that he lend every help without even asking. Aazu, yes you have made me cried, but you have herself cried out so much, this i cud see in the lines. 🤗
-- I think this was the saturation of my cries that came in the form of this update... I am sorry I made you all cry so much... But my first book, more or less is again going to be this painful, and touching... I know that already...😃
Luv ya sweetie for this emotional and heart warming story you have presented to us ❤️🤗
Worth watching the warmth and the love that has the potential to take his wife out of the stress. Though the pain will remain, but the smiles will take over them and the memories will become the massages of life!
-- I am so glad with your response bhabhi.. Thanks a lot!
Aazu, huggies tight tight 🤗
👏
-- Hugs to you too!🤗
