Hey Ashu... Finally I read it again... Thrice now... and trust me every time you managed to sweep me in the myriad of emotions... It is such a beautiful piece of work...😳
And I say beautiful, because every line depicted emotions... and brought forth the deeply felt fears, happiness, insecurities in such a splendid manner that it made me feel exactly what your characters were feeling.
Naina's lost face, her attempt to control her emotion, facing all the tirade of abuse, yet not speaking about the MAN in her life for fear of his name being defamed... Truly, what can anyone teach a woman about being a wife, who has already fought like a warrior for her man.
Sameer leaving aside everything, and rising up to the situation, thinking if he didn't act now there is no use of him being a man, upholding the respect of his WOMAN, understanding the dynamics of the society, therefore providing her the security of his name first, then announcing proudly to the world about their love and commitment - Truly, what can you teach a man about being a husband, who has already stood up for his woman in-front of her own family.
The scene at the hospital, Naina's demand of promise, Sameer's assurance just for the sake of her peace of mind, and his utter devotion to his wife, the wait of countless hours, the ebb and tide of fear and anxiety - I was just as anxious, my own eyes went to the watch to check time... it felt real, my stomach was a bundle of nerves.
The entire journey of motherhood, the happiness of feeling their child moving inside her belly, the sheer joy of holding their daughter for the first time, taking pride on finding some similarities in her, and then finally the act of enclosing his entire world in his arms, with a promise to keep them safe and secure and happy forever - My eyes were brimming with tears when little Naina curled her fingers around her daddy's finger, when Sameer held Naina so she could rest against his chest while feeding their baby, the satisfaction and happiness in silence upon hearing the tiny sounds of their baby suckling... I truly cannot express the absolute beauty of this... Just know that my heart is content, my eyes still have tears, and I am going to read this again on some other quiet mornings...
Hugs for this brilliant piece of writing...🤗
Love,
Mou
