We are all lamenting with what Dilshad is going to do and we are questioning her reasons and bashing her. I for one never wanted her to go back to Rashid. A man who has abandoned her once will surely abandon her again and this time when the wolves (Razia, Shireen and yes Haseena bi) will try and rip her to shreds-metaphorically. There is no guarantee that he will stand up for her.
But what is going n in Dilshad's mind? Why is she ready to get back with him? Answer: this is a woman who has lived without a man for over 17 years. She has struggled through her life and bring up her kids alone, done menial work and came out on the other side. But who was there to give her a comforting word, a hug and a promise to make things better? No one. She is now at a junction where she has married off her daughter and her son soon to follow, we hope 😆. So what is left for her? She is after security and stability which she believes blindly that Rashid can give her. A belief which I fear will be shattered in due course. I am reminded of the words of one of my favourite songs recorded by the Bee Gees and then by Destiny's Child,
"don't you know there's nobody left in this world tohold me tight
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight."
Loneliness is the saddest thing of all. I just wish that Dilshad had found someone else.
That is quite a profound situation you have found with your friend. I hope she makes peace with her demons soon.
