Let me tell you a short story from Mahabharat Epic.
When the forecast was made that Shishupala (Krishna's cousin) shall die in the hands of Lord Krishna; Krishna's aunt took promise from the Lord that he will not harm her child. Krishna promised her that he will forgive a hundred mistakes of his cousin.
and he kept forgiving Shishupala who turned out to be a horrid person and kept ignoring the insults meted out to HIM by that human.
Then Shishupala insulted the Lord in bhari sabha. and kept insulting. and insulting.
and then after the hundredth mistake the God said Enough!
and slayed his cousin.
Moral of the story: When all limits are crossed even God doesn't forgive.
So dearest Swara listen in.
Barring very few occasional bipolarity and hence affection and care for you.. THIS is the core character of the ones you love.
Dadi: She thinks of you and your mother as the filthiest speck of dirt on the bottom of her shoes. Even if you and Shomi donate your kidneys, lung, liver and heart to that person and her Laado she will NEVER learn to love and respect you and your mother.
Shekhar: A sperm donor who never met the surrogate and the child will show more love and respect to the later than the sorry excuse of the human you call your father. Heck even your worst enemy will show you more consideration. He will NEVER take a stand for you and your mother. and will NEVER do what is right for you.
Ragini: Let me read out her list of priorities.
I, me , myself and then Laksh.
starts with her own self and ends with her Laksh.
You read your name anywhere on that list? guess what! we don't either. The girl could do final rites of yours for her Laksh so when the time comes she might even murder you for him. (what am i saying!).
(even if this is an act and done out of majboori by Ragini, Shekhar and Annapurna that will not negate the fact that they are being pathetically selfish and cruel and vicious and heartless. I won't count Laksh since i made peace with the fact that this boy will never grow up into a man).
So please. Let them go. Do not hold on to them.
Let it be the last time you loved them and expected them to love you back.
Let it be the last time you hurt for them. and let them hurt you.
Let it be the last time you shed your precious tears over them.
Walk away, walk on and never look back.
Let is be the last time you will put others over your self respect.
Because I cannot; be it real or fictional; CANNOT respect the ones who don't respect themselves.
Sanskaar:
I could write a whole essay for you too but looking at the promo me thinks you are on right track. You finally saw the true faces of your so-called family. and turned your face away.
good on you mate.
and hold on to your stand.
forgive them someday if they beg you for forgiveness.
but do not step back in their lives. or let them seep into yours the way they did earlier.
because forgiving others mistakes if beautiful.
but forgetting those mistakes is foolish.
Stand tall, stand proud and stand by those who love you with true hearts and trust you unconditionally. They are family.
Others are relatives.
So please my dearest Swara and Sanskaar.. Say Enough. and MEAN IT!
Cheers to new beginnings for both of you.
Swara and Sanskaar.
