Hey there all the lovely people!!
Me is back... apologies for being super late... I was pondering on the idea that last time Uma confessed his love their relationship was kept on the flames to turn it to smoke, it was submerged in the water to suffocate the life out of it... now that Kanak has confessed and both of them are to tread on the path again - their relationship would again be in tatters for Kanak would pretend to be a gold digger so that Uma gets back his property/money - she has it all in that moment, he her world was complete yet she was bothered by the cheating Massi. - - -
Coming back to the proposal.
Direct to discussion.
~ I will be waiting here...for your silence to break. For your soul to shake, for your love to wake... ~ Rumi
Confessions are never easy, especially of love... the fear, the anxiety, refusal all claw down on the heart, trying to cage it, to not let it fly, for the the fear of hurt is innate.
Kanak looks around for her missing heart, she thinks she lost it on the way somewhere, till Uma brings it out and asks if she was looking for this - this is the subtlety of the whole concept of love... over time living with Uma, Kanak lost her heart to him, he became the keeper of it until one day she finally realized that she was in love with him. He kept her heart safe, he didn't read it, for he didn't know what to do with it... he tried returning it but she says it's for him - he is clueless, hesitant hands he opens and reads it stoically, Kanak snatches back and says it's no way to read a love letter - Uma is ignorant in the matters of heart just like everything else, it was all in his hands and yet his approach to it was indifferent... Kanak confesses that she loves him and loves him a lot... she has given him her heart, her life and herself... finally the magical words are out and he hears them crisp and clear, yet there are lines on his forehead, he is unable to make sense of anything, he reminisces about the time she was angry about their marriage - this shows the extent Uma had shut down, the words had sealed his heart, earlier he was expressive about his feeling to his wife, but then he closed up, went into a shell, he is still in a shell, for the words pierce his mind and soul. Words that meant they weren't compatible, that their marriage ruined SarVansh... it wasn't in his wildest imagination that Kanak could fall for him, for he wasn't like her... But it's when she twirls around shouting that she loved him and she loved him a lot, she hugs him without hesitation that the frown breaks and he smiles a bit...she expects the magical words reciprocated but she is ready to wait, she gives him all the time to respond, for she has confessed/expressed her feelings, the mountain has been relieved from her heart and shifted towards him, it's his turn to open up his heart and let her in... to accept the place she already has staked claim on. He informs her that he has asked the lawyer to postpone their divorce as they need more time... Kanak promise him an eternity together as they can't be separated... it's by then Uma has thawed and he smiles- he is hesitant to invest himself again but he is prepared to take baby steps towards their relationship...
