The eyes were indeed a challenge and something Kumud believed in that first glance and it is the betrayal of those eyes that has her existence challenged and heart break!!! She had believed in something good and suddenly that belief was proven to be wrong..ofcourse it was her ego which was hurt too...but she wont exactly be saying that...

And on Saras's side it was more of his inner beliefs that were turned upside down...deep down he himself believed himself to be a good son...a good person...his mother's son..and a person told him coward!! COWARD!! he actually has jumped twice...in fire and in water since coming to the village...and yet he has been branded as that...his hurt and his anger at this is so so justified..and yet what bugs him most is that Kumud wont look at him...*sigh* such stubborn souls both of them!!

-Srushti-,

Thanks for these keen observations. Comprehensive and yet succinct- an ability,so obviously I lack!😳

I agree with the gist of what you say. But on practical level, I would be more charitable to Kumud's stand. She does have some valid reasons to feel angry, besides a hurt ego. For example;

The proposal came from his side. The rejection too from him! Why! Are they so easily expandable?...Her father was ecstatic. Nye, right from Grand father to young Kumari, except a possible exception of Bua, the whole family was. The betrothal was announced in midst of a media level Party. Entire society was probably informed about the alliance. Her Father too must have declared it in the village with certain pride. And now all of sudden, a dry, trite rejection from the same corner?! Father's slurred prestige, hopes trampled, and inescapable butt of social gossip, these were not their faults. So when she says, ' I charge you with an abuse', she is not entirely off the mark, is she?

On personal level too, she had some valid grouse; Even if we discount that her excited hopes were not personal doing of Saras, the tone and mode of communication was lacking courtesy in content if not in form. In his zeal to be forthright, he ended up being insensitive, arrogant, and distinctly unapologetic. Something, even Saras rued afterwards. Besides, he ended up appearing escapist and 'coward' too. Coward, for clearly he was unable to convince his own father. And he was seeking her in securing the break! Throwing onus of breaking the alliance on her! All these was uncalled for from her end. So yes, unwittingly Saras did come across insensitive...😛

And then of course her tainted picture, you so aptly put.😊
