After the leap, I was really rooting for her to defend herself and her decision, to bash Abhi for not coming after her and everything. But.......temple confrontation changed everything. Slowly she is the one who rewrote the narrative. She declared a relationship that she repeatedly chose, as umarkaid. She broke Abhi down, not just to show him how he had hurt her, but she basically removed all of his self worth.
Fine. That might have been necessary to remove him from his delusions. I will agree to that. But then, why not tell him about the kid? Her decisions to keep Abhi away from Abhir, to act like Abhi is the worst person, and that she was forced into a relationship and forced into having a kid with him? That's the issue.
The issue is that she broke Abhi down repeatedly, called him a bad father, and finally only rested when he himself accepted it. His position right now is not the same as hers in any situation. No one has called her a bad mother; no one has ever said she doesn't deserve to be a mother.
The problem isn't that Abhir chose his parents - cause of course he did. The problem is that Ak didn't let Abhi bond with his son at all. Even after Abhi got custody, her entire focus was on breaking him so that he will give Abhir back. This is emotional manipulation of the worst kind. She made him believe he is not worthy of her or of her son.
Abhi isn't just sad cause he misses his son (like Ak was); he is sad because he has lost in life. He is sad because he feels unworthy of even living - because of Ak. How does she expect to resolve this? How is making him spend time with his son when he is going through an emotional breakdown going to help anyone?
