To Papa...With Love-I (17 Oct epi.)

This post is dedicated to Abby and Raveena, who took the trouble to dig up the earlier letters to papa posted in Dragon Club (DC) and insist that I post them in Main Forum. This particular post was made the day Yash got Aarti and Ansh back...and that same night they had a celebration with everyone recording messages for Gayatri, who was in Delhi and dancing...with Yash on guitar. Aarti had still not told anyone about the pregnancy complications and didn't know what Yash's decision will be...Remember? 😊

*********************************************************************
Episode WU of 17 October


Bubbles were back...this time around Yash. And they burst almost as soon as they made their appearance, because of the urgency for him to wake up and face a nightmarish reality. Aarti gave herself to him completely long back...and has always been there for him. It's Yash's turn now. She needs him now...just as someone else needs him now... a certain someone who needs his/her papa to step forward and help clear his/her mother's dilemma...


There's a cloud covering my path, and a problem I am about to face...I know you'll catch me before I fall and put all in the right place. You both are the reason why I am so strong...with you two at the helm, nothing can go wrong. Even if I have to fly up and away...I'll be happy I came by your way; So always remember that this is true...that I shall forever love you two!!!

"Papa, I never did understand why you were so angry with mumma after we came back from Mumbai. I have to say I was very scared of you, then...so much so that I hid deep inside mumma and didn't even tell her that I had arrived...that God had sent me to you. I could let myself be known to her only when Ganpati Bappa directed me to...She was so happy to have me, yet sad and scared as to how you'll react. Whenever she kept her hand over me, pacifying me, talking to me, I felt protected and loved. She told me all about you...that how nice you are...how much you love my bhaiya and didis...and that one day you'll love me too. I was so proud of you after you won that boxing match...and then I came back home to you. Mumma tried so hard to tell you about me, but couldn't. She was so afraid...for me..because Doctor aunty told her I'll have to leave her. You should have seen how she fought for me...my existence...not caring about her life. I tell you papa, you would have been proud of your Aartiji that day. But the Doctor told her that she needed your decision regarding my future. She didn't know how you'd feel, whether you'll accept me or not...she was very scared of the anger she had seen in you, so she took me and bhaiya and left home. Thank God you found us in the end...I have to tell you I was very worried for her. I know mumma is stubborn, but look where that got us? I am still there ...and you changed. When I saw you in the Mandir, I saw the love mumma told me I too shall have. You had accepted me...I was thrilled. Mumma kept her hand over me and thanked Bappa...I so wanted then to hold her hand from inside and tell her, "You won, ma...you won for me...I love you, and I love my papa." We came back home and you took care of us. Now you don't let us out of your sight...I don't miss mumma's hand on me anymore, because before that comes, your hand is there to protect us.

Oh..before I forget...I have to tell you how much I enjoyed your laughter the other day with mumma. Even if I don't make it to the outside world, I would always carry that picture with me...and pray that that happiness stays intact even after...Another picture I want to carry is you in the car today...What was that, papa? First, you couldn't take your eyes off ma, fussing about her...and then when Bhaiya and Palak di teased you two, you got all so flustered that you started blabbering. You went on and on and on...which first surprised me and then I couldn't help laughing at seeing this side of you...I'll call it the mumma side, because normally she is like that. Don't think I don't understand, papa? I may be youngest in the family...but I still carry the wisdom of my past life, so there. I saw how it miffed you that mumma chose to keep quiet and not say the words you probably wanted to hear. Ahem...what did you really want to hear, pa? Some lovey/dovey words...eh? Sorry...no go. Too much on her mind...meaning me...my survival. But thank you for giving her these happy, loving moments before she musters courage to tell you.

I love my family...they are the bestest!! At the dining table, I loved how chachu teased tayaji and tayiji. I adore dadaji...he has always been nice to ma and understood her...and now I saw how he was missing dadi. I wish I could meet her before...Oh, I am not going to think about that for awhile. I loved being part of the message to dadi...even though I was the invisible one. Boring? She called you boring, pa? Don't let her get away with it...There you are; I knew you would take the bait. Beware, papa...mumma can be quite the sly one if she wants to be. She sure knows which buttons to push where you are concerned. I loved the song and how you sang it with your eyes only on ma...Always keep it that way papa, cause she'll always need you by her...just as now. Your dancing with her and holding her in peace finally gave her the courage to let you know about my condition. I understand how shocked you must feel...and I know everyone in the family stands in support...but papa, do whatever is good for ma. She trusts you to handle this for both of us. She loves me too much to make a practical choice. She might fight with you over my life...but please do what you feel is the right thing to do. Wherever I am...wherever I'll be henceforth...remember I shall remain in your hearts...till eternity!!!"

Ayu



Have a nice day friends.😊

OMG...

lovely indu... that was a wonderful write up... thanks for ravz n abby for the dig up work... well read it that time too... u are splendid

@Frozen007: Thanks...I'll await your comments.😊



@Anusha: Thanks...yeah DCians would know about this one.😊

Indu thanks for posting it in main forum .. your today's take makes perfect sense now when I read this one.. I remember we were all in awee that day when u wrote this from Aayu's POV 😳😳... Aayu is Yash's inner voice in a way .. the baby who desires to live but before coming out wants to see Yash in love with his/her momma Aarti first 😳😳

Thanks a lot for posting this in the MF. Beautifully written👏👏

@Jyo: Thanks...You are so right about Ayu being Yash's inner voice. That makes perfect sense. Ayu's survival always dependent on the decisions Yash took...I guess even now Yash's reaction to Aarti's secret will decide Ayu's future in an indirect manner.😕


@Ash: Thanks. Exactly my thoughts...from resigning himself/herself to fate to feeling safe and enjoying its time with papa/mumma, Ayu has come a long way.😊

it is a delight to read this post again
i have read it in the DC
but didn't comment there
so , here i am taking that opportunity to express my pleasure to read a superb write - up

aayu -- love bond of arya or the love connection of arya at least initially from yash's side
he is a tiny tot developing in his / her mother's womb yet feels the pain , agony , love , happiness of his / her parent is well described by you
my heart goes for Aayu more after reading your post
i wish our Aayu survives to see -- how wonderful his/ her parent is , along with beautiful brother and sisters

beautiful piece of writing😊..thnx for posting it in the main forum.

@Aditi: Thank you so much. You guys make me feel so special with comments like that.😳



@ksfan2 & Mitul: Thank you.😊
