OS: Yesterday and Tomorrow--Forgiveness (completed) - Page 21

Moving from heartbreak (first para with confusing Kesari Ram as paro) to more heartbreak (paro calling Aman, Rudra talking to Paro and Paro talking to JK) , to terror to again heartbreak (NO, I DID NOT HAD A SMILE OR SIGH OF RELIEF) is a tough job, especially when you are trying to gulp your sobs throughout.

The conversation between Paro and JK is special. You know Why?? Because its normal. A normal conversation, with soft voices and encouraging words and innocent questions. Encouraging, because paro was almost encouraging him to kill her as he has to do, and JK encouraging her by telling that her truth is known to everyone. All this amongst the very scene of death.

I cant say I wont have nightmares tonight.

And the way all those officers wanted to stand by her in the very moment, as if giving her their silent support any way they can, I had this huge physical pain just below my neck when I was reading that portion.

When I read last part, I thought I will never be able to forgive Rudra for putting her through all this. But today he earned my (and probably of all baisa's) forgiveness, when he went to her cell before JK arrived. He wanted her to speak, so he could save her , not because he wanted to prove her a terrorist. After that whatever he did, it was him stepping again on the ladder towards the HERO title in our eyes. But that, was the moment when he earned our forgiveness.

Napsterji, You tell me, how I should praise your skill so that you don't feel offended. Anything I have known till date as "praise" is nowhere near what you deserve. So I am asking for your help. Help me in giving you your due as a writer.
