Hi!! I am a new visitor on YHM forum. I read this two shot & then went on to read all your other one shots & short stories. I have become a fan of your writing skills. The way you have potrayed each character in your writings is just awesome- whether it is Raman, Ishita or the rest of the characters.My favourite ones are Haunted by a Nightmare & Silver Linings.
What made me post this reply is the side of IshRa relation you have explored- Ishita's infertility, her insecurity regarding this matter & Raman's thoughts. I wanted Raman to tell everyone that Ishita's infertility doesn't reduce her maternal instincts or love. I want him to tell what you have written in this two shot. That if Raman & Ishita had been the only persons in each other's lives, they have been in love & happily married, & after that, Ishita's infertility issue had come to light, even then he wouldn't have left her. If Shagun had been unable to conceive, then even then also he wouldn't have left her. When you are truly in love with someone, in my opinion it does not matter though I know by large the society thinks like Subbu's mom only. Medical science has advanced so much-there are so many options-Subbu could have gone for anything but he chose to be coward. Well, I am glad he chose to be a coward, if not then we wouldn't have got our awesome IshRa.
I like Raman's character more than Ishita- he is much more humane, realistic & hence, relatable. I like Ishita also but her mahanta syndrome annoys the hell out of me. I also find it annoying that they never show what Raman & Ishita feel for each other & them exploring their feelings. I am not asking for acceptance & love confessions but they could be a little more aware of their feelings. Yesterday perhaps was the first they showed Ishita's awareness about her new feelings. God nows, by the time Raman expresses his feelings, Ruhi might be old enough to date.
Ishita had been ridiculed, insulted, degraded & belittled by Subbu- with whom she was in a relationship for 12yrs, Subbu's mom & the society at by large. All these things have made home in her & that's why she feels she is unable to give her beloved husband, Raman a symbol of their love. It is only Raman's love which will heal her wounds- the love which will tell her Raman would love to a baby with her but not by losing her or making her feel incomplete.
Nowadays, so many couples find it difficult to have a baby & most of the times, the reason is stressful & hectic lifestyle. After Subbu had married to the other girl, if he had come to know that he can't become a father, perhaps then he would have realised how Ishita might have felt.
Wonder what society says to men who are impotent or can't become a father.
Wow, this become an essay. Hope you wouldn't mind.
Please keep on with your excellent writing skills. Please can you pm me if you write anything. I am unable to accept buddy request since everytime I tried, there is some error. Anyways, I will keep on visiting the forum & keep an eye for future writing gem from you.
Love,
