Whispa🤗 Wonderful post...like literally everything you've written is so well thought of, this is gonna be one of my favourites among all your reviews.
I really don't have anything to add..it's perfect. So I'll just put down my favourite bits from the post...and a lil on them.
We always felt that once Atharv would come back, everything would be okay. But life's not like that. There's no magic wand that suddenly takes away your hurt and pain. When you've lived for three months with words suppressed, feelings hidden and grief masked, it's suddenly very difficult to show those feelings because you just become so good at hiding them.
This is so true. Like she said yesterday, she was lifeless when she went there. A little life, a reason to live, a small hope bloomed within her only once she got Atharv back.
But a major part of her was still in shackles. She was still lying to people, albeit unwillingly. She was still carrying the burden of the marriage she never wanted. She had her Atharv right here, but it broke her to see what he had come to.
She needs time to understand and process her thoughts, gather herself before being able to pour it all out to Atharv.
He's finally realised everything is not okay. Vividha has changed and it hurts because he can't read her like he used to. The vivacious Vividha, whom he only had to look at to see what she felt, is hidden behind this dark cloud which he can't seem to reach.
This has got to be my favourite bit. I don't know what it is about these lines, but the last line hit me hard.
He is trying his best to get her to open up.
He is there, ready to do anything and everything he can to reduce her pain. He is there for her every second, to readily share or even take away all her pain.
But alas, he can't read her the way he could cos those three months of her life are a blank book to him. He knows she has suffered, she's lost herself but doesn't have the slightest idea HOW.
What exactly happened, the situations she faced, the incidents that took place..he had no clue. And she isn't able to say it all either. And he can hardly do anything knowing nothing. He's lost as well.
Vividha has to heal and Atharv is going to help her through it. I just know he wouldn't give up till he sees the smile on Vividha's face..the smile HIS VIVIDHA SMILES.
I'm glad Sujata was of some use today. I still don't like her one bit though. But again, I'm not a forgiving person as such so it's normal.
To end it, I don't know why I say I don't have much to write in the start. I end up doing lotsa bakbak any way😆
