So I'll get straight to business here.
SMST, is a piece very special to me because penning this was a challenge - not just for myself as an author, but it's a challenge that's against the viewpoint of a scene hated by the majority of the forum. The consensus is its hated - but I don't abide by that notion.
Yes, SMST, is an alternative take on Saturday' bedroom scene.
It's considered by mostly an act of seduction by Raman to get intimate with Ishita for the sole purpose of being able to steal that letter.
Well he simply had to wait for her to sleep, if that was all on his mind, isn't it? As he did too, he waited on her and then quietly removed that letter from the file.
So what was the need to be intimate, what was the need for showing what they did?
To me it was simple, as someone who writes, I found myself thinking there' only one thing that would make my character behave the way he did before something so catastrophic was about to strike their lives. Why would he behave in the way he did and the answer was simple - he wanted some respite, some comfort, stolen moments from time before everything went awry in his world and who but the one person he was about to hurt was his only solace in the world.
Thus, he approaches his wife, the woman capable of making him forget everything awful and dark about his life and world.
When he mention Ruhi' name, tears escape from his eyes - those tears are as much for the pain he is about to cause his daughter as much for the thought, if only she could have been here, even if to disturb them in this moment again - what he wouldn't give for that. How he is afraid that it might never happen.
His precise words to Ishita in the scene are, "Sirf tum aur main."
He wanted this one night with her before things perhaps tore them apart irrevocably. He wanted to have this moment of love before facing the hate, anger or repulsion of the woman he loved.
In the real world, two attractive people who were so much in love, married legally too wouldn't still be on the - one on bed, one on couch status - they would have crossed the bridge long ago amigos and only the gods know what's making our CV's think these two are monks.
I don't understand their obsession with the celibate status frankly, so I discarded it in my version.
So in this alternative take here, a husband looks for comfort in his wife before he is about to wreck their lives.
Not graphic in nature, however does posses mature themes.
Reader discretion advised.
Not Proofread.
And before I forget - the title is inspired by one of my all time favorite songs - the extremely sensuous, 'Hero' by Enrique Iglesias.
