Probably for the first time, I don't see any reason why I should defend Naitik. I feel let down; I feel cheated. This isn't the Naitik I know. CVs have ruined his character
BIG TIME. The Naitik I know,
always placed his family above everything else. The Naitik I know,
always prioritized his family above his dreams, his success, his growth. The Naitik I know, could easily pick up on his loved ones' feelings w/o them being directly expressed to him. He learnt of their state of mind from their stance. Then how has he, all of a sudden, become so oblivion to the pain his wife, his mother, his entire family is going through! Why is he not able to see the ache in their eyes! Doesn't he realise that he's hurting everybody around?
Till day before yesterday, I was against the posts which tagged him selfish. I defended him saying he was only trying to provide a better life to his family but today I eat back my words. My heart aches to write this, but Naitik IS acting selfish now. The thought of settling abroad along with the family is not a selfish thought, but the thought of settling abroad only with the wife and child, leaving behind the oldies of the family all by themselves is. He's undermining his family's happiness, their misery, their agony just to chase his dream(s). Where has my old selfless Naitik dwindled?
My post will be impartial to Akshara and the rest of the Singhanias and the Maheshwaris if ended without appreciating them for the support they extended to Naitik lately. I have always had my share of complains from Akshara for not supporting Naitik in his endeavours. But the girl has made me proud today. Inspite of her unwillingness to move out, not once did she ask him to give up on his dream. Instead she silently conceded to his wish. A bow to her for that. Though I wish she had openly expressed her displeasure and told him that she didn't want to leave her parents, her siblings and her in-laws behind and settle in London. That she will feel home-sick and out of place there.
Coming to the family, both the Ss as well as the Ms have been equally supportive of Naitik. Moreover the way they encouraged Akshara to stand-by him only proves that they are family in true sense. God bless them.
