Chapter 28:
Hmm Door opened really.
Gautam n Mihir's conversation has been so lovely. I really admire the fact that, Mihir is slowly making path to converse with his son. He waiting patiently, explaining how he got trapped, how his mind was drawn n believed noina more than any one, how he was trapped. But the disgust the son has shown in his eyes for his father is something no dad would ever have the courage to face, which Mihir did, "Naate potoan k saath khelne ki umar me.." Exactly he did not have to complete the sentence, the look n the tone in which he delivered this sentence said how angry is he with his father for ditching his mom. Deep down Gautam is very angry and felt the pain of his mother, though he is angry with her, he still has that affection and love for Tulsi. Mihir must be atleast relieved by this.
Gautam shockingly surprised by his mother discovering the truth, he knew how efficient is his mother in such circumstances.
Beech me Gautam ka uthke jaana, door close karna, not wanting talk, even if talks, the harsj words to taunt n blame his father it's lovely portrayal of Gautam's state of mind n his behavior. ❤️
Mihir revealing we are as parent always their for you as a unit Gautam admiring, things settling down.
Mihir's coffee, then complementing ahh, father son thing awesome.
The phone call with Tulsi, Gautam's anger then surprised and happy somewhere Damini is going SN with his parents. (I didn't get his change in behavior). After hearing Gautam's accusations, Tulsi saying you are the only one I called in the past 6years, but you didn't answer my calls, neither reverted . Mihir felt some pain in his heart, (i failed to understand here as well, what was his concern or worry?? 🙄 is it Tulsi not forgetting her duties as mother inspite of being lonley??)
Tulsi n Mihir's conversation when Gautam went between the call, Mihir explaining Tulsi his son's change in behavior, then worried, hesitantly asking are you ok, Tulsi's haan then her sorry, Kal milte hai shows the care n the kind of concern they have for each other, it's lovely.
Then bechara Mihir wanted to talk but the son is difficult to handle absolutely behaving like teenager with his father ( i think we often tend to do this with our parent however grown up we are) so normal, typical of a child craving for care attention and ahh,his stubbornness ❤️ superbly written, i loved this, can visualize him😃.
Damini n Tulsi's conversation the bahu saas saga, they share friendly relationship. Damini is neither interested in a new job, but her mind wanted to be around ppl, she is tired of being lonely. it's good that she initiated the conversation and expressed to be in SN, Tulsi a yearning mom, hopes to get her son back. Perhaps, Tulsi knows how painful it is to be alone, so she wanted a better life for both Damini n Gautam.
Arre Gautam, kidhar leke gaya papa, where there is no room to talk 😂 smart beta.
Mihir had hard time with Gautam, he tried to talk 5mins, he wanted his son back, pleaded him to come back, he apologised,bcoz of him his son couldn't come home, and living a lone life, his parents separation affected him badly, his father's affair affected him, somewhere Mihir is more guilty of keeping his son away from his mother, his home, his family and getting depressed by his parents drifting apart.
Probably a pang in his heart out of guilt, frustration, i think it's difficult to survive like this for longer 🙄, then hold a straight face and be part of the routine, Mihir is commendable here. Thank you writer.
Mihir's BP will shoot up, Gautam's sudden entry n he looking at the monitor, gussa hai par pyar bhi hai papa ke liye. Khoon k rishte 😃
Mihir's logistics and administration smartness shown in vacating the Damini's flat. Mihir has contacts here too. True leadership and years of relationship with ppl helped here.
Mihir n Damini's meeting subtle. Mihir accompanying Tulsi till the car, Tulsi asking him about his BP, Mihir simply stating all ok, ❤️❤️
Gautam n Tulsi's adorable meet again. Dono maa bete ziddi, she preparing breakfast, he having it, then he kneeling over her shoulder, (can't tell you how good i felt with this scene), mom preparing Aloo paratha n chutney, she us stacking up for two three days efficiently, koun mana karega, maa bhi kaha sunti hai
.
Then Gautam asking why is Papa having BP, she answering half truth kuch saaloan se, then sadness then kaadha story... Small, short info fills the gap..
His questions on Nakul, Tulsi stating how happy he was to learn Damini going SN. Then maa to maa hai, she crying seeing her son living a ghost life, she cannot compell him to join him at SN, but be happy wherever he is
The family dinner elaboration, Gautam may not be interested, even if interested to join will not show in his body language, ego, kiddos behavior, 😂 but Damini bhi to janti hai kaise leke jaana hai isse😂, then comes our couple moments.
Damini stating she will wait for Gautam at SN, he was quiet but probably he knows there is some chord which still connects.
Let's see.
Our favourite couple balcony conversation, hearty smile, Tulsi still pulling stint to make Mihir have a hearty laugh. Then her concern n quick action, the allergy thing. Everything here is adorable, just fabulous.
Thank you writer for the great writing again, i have no words the depth you created among the, sans bahu, mother son, father son, estranged couple, and a family together. You touched the dynamics among all these perfectly.Your explanation to the surroundings like some open door, footsteps, cying child, heavy weight thing moving upstairs, auto at downstairs, cooker whistle at the neighborhood, the landlords thing handling, paper work the kitchen etc.
One more thing, Damini looking at the wall where the photographs were hung for years,Mihir understood this, his taking her so that she can create new memories at SN, probably with her son n husband also the family.
You are a gem, take a bow, thank you again.
