Quoting dolphinUSA: "Words are the most influential and powerful tool, but they are also the most destructive. It's like water and fire - they can make you or they can take you. And so, wrong words spoken even at the right time can take you to a place you don't want to go."
Words once spoken cannot be taken back. The damage that's caused by them cannot be undone. The wounds that they wrought can not be healed. These daggers pierced deep into one's heart can never be drawn out. The anguish that ensues can never be soothed. And we have seen yet again, another example of how the bitterness of unwarranted accusations can wreak a havoc and leave wrecked hearts in their wake. I'm sure many will learn from this caustic incident we witnessed Friday.
The man who left no stone unturned to support a wronged girl when he didn't have to, the man who loved her "as is" inspite of her being an unwed to-be-mother, the man who didn't care about the society before embracing a girl who was sure to bring defame to his family honor once her truth was out, the man who stood by her in every distress and disappointment, in every pain and predicament, in every hurt and heartbreak, was wronged today. For no fault of his, he was held responsible, given nefarious motives, and stripped of his honor, dignity, integrity, and social standing.
Being torn between love and family, it can be quite a challenge for anyone to decide what to do. But he chose the difficult yet the right path. He chose to support the truth and honored his love by putting his own brother behind bars whom he dearly loved. He suffered the pain that the defame caused his daadima who had been very diligent in protecting the family honor. He suffered the pain his daadima felt upon knowing that she had failed in her upbringing. He suffered the sight of his brother behind bars. He suffered losses in business. Only to see the truth and justice prevail, Only to love and to be loved. But what did he get? Betrayal.
She accused him for siding his brother, she accused him for supporting the wrong, she accused him for ..........but when she raised a finger at his love, at his intentions of marrying her, at his unconditional care and support, he lost it. He was hurt, hurt deeply. But being a man filled with love, little could he do to make her listen up. He could not force her to give an explanation of his doings. He could not be harsh with her yet again. He could not hurt her yet again. Even so, he tried to keep her close to him and tried to reason with her, and make her understand that his intentions were innocent. Despite the bitter words she uttered, despite the ugly image she formed of him, despite the way she twisted his answers to suit her thoughts, he still tried to hold her close, and didn't want to let her go.
And then all his efforts and self restraint went down the drain - off came the taveez and off went his cool. He could not bear to see their symbol of love being snatched away like this. His heart cried out times innumerable - he begged to be heard, he begged to be given a chance to speak, he begged to take yet another test of his true love. But his pleas went unheard, his words got convoluted, his love got rejected and his heart got crushed. That was the last straw and he decided to give her what she wanted. He dragged her out, and in every step he took, his intense pain masked as his anger is very much palpable.
At the very next chance, she maligned him, yet again, in front of the media. She insulted him, ridiculed his love and support in front of the whole world. Yet, inspite of this public disgrace, inspite of this display of her lack of faith in him, he supported her with his very silence. He asked her how she can survive without him, and in those words is hidden his silent plea of not to leave him alone. Not only did he lose his brother, family honor, fame, but also his love. After supporting her with everything, she chose to reject him. She came, she conquered and then she ransacked him of everything he possessed. He felt dejected, he lost all hope because his love failed the test of time. He fell hard at this loss because he felt his love was not strong enough to hold them together.
He did not deserve this insult in front of the board, nor in front of the office staff, nor in front of the media. His love, which is the epitome of purity, did not deserve to be tarnished in front of the public. He did not deserve any of this...none of this... In midst of all this, he stands quite alone, a lonely warrior waging a solitary battle to defend the very girl who has forsaken him and there is now no one left to soothe his aching heart.
Disclaimer: This post has been worked on by my good friend dolphinUSA and myself together. We have been and still are ardent supporters of Geet and have supported her through thick and thin even when others did not. It does not mean that we do not love and support Maan. We love both of them equally, but we have supported Geet when she was shown to display any doubt on their relationship like using "fake" word, etc. After Friday's episode, we could identify ourselves with and feel more pain for Maan than Geet. It does not mean that we are bashing Geet. We already feel the pain that she will go through once she realizes how baseless her accusations really are, but we do feel that whatever solid reasons she may think she had, her conduct towards Maan is something he, especially his love, definitely did not deserve. This is just our point of view and we wanted to share Maan's pain as we see it with the rest of you. But, feel free to throw your chappals or belans at us if you disagree. No matter how angry and hurt one is, bringing your loved one to public ridicule has no excuses whatsoever. Hence the post...
Tidbit: Geet has forsaken him when Maan was on the battlefield fighting her battle full-fledgedly in her support. As a result, he lost everything including himself. Hence, the title. Hope you like it.
