Tulsi ki ouburst was required, Tulsi is deep down hurt, felt sad for her decision and Gautam's pain n Mihir conversation was subtle, yet deep, man to man talk. You maintained that "male" conversation very appropriately.
Gautam n Mihir's talk, Gautam relishing his food, dhokla nothing can replace mother's food❤️, his one or two words to Mihir, Mihir patiently hearing him out, taking all his harshwords, anger, pain, hurt, he decided to accept everything comes his way rather than running away from it. He is accountable for his children life mostly, in Gautam's case it had happened from years. But Gautam highlighting his father's mistake why do you hurt Mom again n again, then Mihir searching for answers putting his verdict, how fate had pushed him into such circumstances, but his love has been always Tulsi, not all questions have answers in this world.
It's devastating for Mihir, how his one wrong decision has costed his family so much, which cannot be reversed in anyways.
The pent up emotions of Tulsi exploded, she just started to show her anger, pain, remorse, her lone grief. As a wife she can tolerate pain, but as a mother she cannot tolerate her children suffering bcoz of one wrong decision and the cause of it. So the outburst is genuine and natural, Mihir has learned to be patient at this moment, trained himself ready for anything from any ofhis family. He was more guilty, when Tulsi had not even reacted when he disclosed and owned his mistakes, she just listened and forgiven, never shouted, neither shown any rights over Mihir. But today, the bad phase circumstances have made them find each other to blame, accuse, shout and be real, the way one should be.
Damini and Tulsi's conversation was superbly handled, two women dealing with one problem,broken by circumstances,but are in a position to understand each other very well. Both of them gobe thru loneliness, sad, broken heart, endless love. Their only problem is they don't know how to live without their partner, simply they didn't learn to, despite they created distance with them, they still care for them, long for them.
The whole chapter has been an emotional ride, not all outbursts lead to bad things, some bring good things too, new flowers will blossom, relationships can be mended if careful attention is given by the two people involved. Only we need is to be a listening heart, understanding human, be in their shoes and feel what exactly has happened, how it affected.
Mihir's composure to say allow me to be part of it to deal, you have done enough alone, but not anymore. He is trying to be owning his responsibility as a parent, unlike in the past taking credits. He definitely is worried for Tulsi as she was alone in an unknown place, with broken heart," main thak gyi hoon" my heart goes for Tulsi, same with Mihir. He regrets his every action, but he cannot undo anything, that's what he said to Gautam, mujhe khud pe jitna gussa aata hai, wo tera mere pe jo gussa hai use kahi zyada hai. He is tired too regreting, he invested all his energy into, he is drained out, matlab har din, har pal ghista hi jaa rha hai, apne galtiyoan ke tale daba hua hai, apni ghar ki har sadasy ki haalat ka zimmedar khud hai ye jaanta hai,
समय बड़ा बलवान,
कितना मजबूर है ये इंसान।
खुद के फैसलों पर रो रहा है,
जाने कितनों के अरमान कुचल गया है।
हार गया गिनते-गिनते अपनी गलतियाँ,
परिणाम बड़े घोर हैं।
प्रायश्चित ही एकमात्र उपाय है,
अब बस यही प्रयास करना है।
जो बीत गया उसे मिटा नहीं सकते,
समय के इस आंकलन में हम गिर नहीं सकते।
दिशा नई ढूँढते चलें हम,
नई कहानियाँ लिखते चले हम|
Mihir's silent grief, pata nhi when will he cry again,he being the emotional person, always shows his anger, happiness, chirpiness instantly, he is holding his regrets, remorse, he living every second with guilt. Abhi Tulsi ko hi fir Mihir ko samjhana padega "koi guilt mat rkhna". The righteousness Tulsi showed over Mihir, her pain for the first time displayed to him,the anger cutting the call, then the harsh tone to make his priorities n choices correct, then softening etc.. Brilliant.
You explaned the ambience, intricacies of smallest gestures, expressions, surroundings so well, kudos writer.
