Dear Viji,
I am back for : DbC - Epilogue 1
I did mention it or maybe I did not - but then reading about the epilogue was like seeing a portrait of paradise. Their impatience and their reluctant wait to their vows, which as you put was but a mere reiteration of the vows of love that they had already taken when they pledged themselves to each other. But it was very gratifying to see the little moments of their cozy togetherness, a little like the twinklings stars, which on a whole emblazons the heavens much like their love story.
I liked the firm stand adopted towards the Gadodias (Ragini obviously being one in name only, somehow the blood that courses through her veins is not that of the Gododia stain). And Lucky here, is the adorable sibling, nothing but the best for his brother. (and the final scene when he wished he had emulated his brother completely and carried a handkercheif, was nice) I am hopeful, though you might not write it, that they have their own beautiful silvery love story.😳
But what I liked, nay, loved the most was the gesture that Swara made, of having her hands and arms, stained in the deep crimson lines of mehendi, with his initial. As if, by repeating it over and over again, she is saying that every thing she is, is his. That was a symbol of literally branding her body, mind, heart and soul with his name. It does not matter that the henna dye would fade in days, his name would forever be etched on her soul. Sanskaar understood, which is why he must have lit up with joy. And when she sees his happiness, I am sure Swara must have been singing:
Ye kaun ayaa, roshan ho gayi
Mehfil kis ke naam se
Mere ghar mein jaise suraj
nikalaa hai shaam se
Yaade hain kuchh aayi si, yaa kiranen laharaaisi
Dil men soye giton ne, li hai fir angadaaisi
Aramaanon ki madiraa chhalaki, aankhiyon ke jaam se
In the end, it does not matter, whether they chose each other or they were destined to be together. All that matters is that they are now bound to each other, irrevocably, for now and for ever.
love,
Nyna
