Whatever Vishaka has done in the past is wrong...but for me...what she did today is unforgivable.
You'd expect a parent's love...especially a mother's love for her child to be the unconditional kind. But from what I've seen of Vishaka, she's something else. She remarried...which she is completely entitled to do...but where was it written that she had to give up on Sameer in the process?
She expects Sameer to accept her husband as his father, when the man clearly doesn't want to have anything to do with him. Even if she doesn't realize her husband's conniving tactics to keep the mother and son divided...is she blind to the hurt on Sameer's face every time she ignores him?
Why is it that she only calls him 2 times a year...that too to find out his results?
Why is it that he is shifted from one boarding school to the next?
Why does he get compared to his step-brother?
Why does she expect him to behave like member of a family he was never made to feel a part of?
Why does she set standards for him that he doesn't care to meet and then consider his rebellious nature nothing but insolence on his part?
Even today...when she saw Sameer fighting...didn't it even once cross her mind that there must be a reason for his behavior? Was he hurt? What could she do to help?
Instead, she remained silent as her husband refused to acknowledge that they even knew Sameer.
That's her son damn it! Even if she didn't say anything in front of the other guy...why didn't she follow up with Sameer later? There is just no excuse for her behavior.
She has made Sameer what he is...hurt, confused, lost, rebellious...and certainly one who would be unable to love or trust a woman.
The stark difference between Vishaka and Naina is the very thing that has jarred him into realizing that there can be someone out there that cares for him the way he deserves to be cared for.
Yeah...so...I'd definitely pass the best parent of the year award to someone else. 😡
