Because even when happy believed that rocky was behind smiley's assault, when she hated him for a crime he did not commit, when rocky should have hated her for not believing in him, it was a future with her that he dreamed of. That beautiful dream he had of her and chintu together with him as a family. Happy took away all of that. For what? What was this great plan? To get rid of rv? She could have gathered evidence. The guy practically left them for her to find. Anaya found them didn't she? Why couldn't happy have found the evidence? What right did happy have to put rocky and the rest of her family through so much pain? She chose the coward's way out. Truly courageous would have been if she properly collected evidence against rv. True courage would have been if she stood tall before momsi and said yes I love your son and I am going to take care of him until my last breath because that's how much I love him. Had she stood up to momsi and given her a reality check, stood strong with rocky the way he stood for her, is when she would have been truly worthy. She's hurt rocky and all for nothing. She didn't save anything. She put a man in jail not for for the crime he committed, rather one he was framed for. What makes her so different from RV? She too lied to the one she loved for 6 years. She too framed a man and put him in jail. It's okay to frame RV because he was bad and rocky was not? That doesn't make it right. She did not get justice for rocky because rv never went to jail for what he truly did. And she did not guarantee his happiness. She disappeared because she was too much of a coward to deal the obstacles she and rocky would have had to face. She could not stand up to momsi. She did not want to find evidence against rv. She pretends its for the good of everyone but who benefited in all this? Is it only enough that they are alive? Should they not be living? She's moved perfectly well. What about the destruction she left behind? The hearts she broke, the anguish she caused?
Very well articulated! I couldn't agree more. If she, at least once, had confronted RV for what he did! And now that you mentioned all of these events, I realized that she never ever told Rocky that she loved him and neither she ever denied that RV was not her boyfriend when he kept mentioning it...
I am starting to think that Rocky moving on is not so unrealistic... in the end who was Happy to him? Other than a girl that he loved like crazy in his youths, but who never loved him in return, always misunderstood him, refused his pure love, refused to marry him. And, in return, she decided to marry an animal who beat her black and blue and she, like moron wife, decided to continue her marriage even if Rocky always offered her alternatives. From Rocky's perspective, Happy was just a youth dream... a girl whom he loved but she just fooled around with him only to reject him for a criminal, a girl who had a stupid death at the hands of her violent husband that she refused to leave...
