Brilliant post Ami. Wish you made more topics as you have a way or
articulating your words to clearly.
"A mother is never really alone in her thoughts; she always has to think
twice, once for herself and once for her child"! Beautiful quote and it is
so very true. A mother think about her children first before considering
herself. In every situation this mother would have lost. She either loses the
child she has raised or she loses her own biological child. She may not have
given birth to Maanvi but that doesn't make her any less or her child. Even
though there is a blood relation. It is not necessary to feel that bond. She is
mother when she needs to care and love her child. A brother who protects her
from others and her God who will change her destiny. It may not be the norm, or
what we are used to seeing but they relation is so pure that finding words to describe
it falls short.
She did want needed to be done to save her child. They share a unique bond that can be seen to romantic couples. They can immense themselves within each other without a care. It is not their intention but when they are together the words is forgotten. I still cannot forget how Jeevika broke her decision to Viren. 'Meri Maanu maarjagi' Anyone would be distraught at loosing a loved one in any capacity but loosing your child is something else entirely. From that I remember a quote - 'When you lose your parents your an orphan. When you lose your spouse you are a widow or widower. But when you lose your child, they is no word for that' She did indeed lose a child, but losing a child or the fear of losing a child that you have loved, raised and believe to be your identity would mean you fight the world and yourself to save them. A mother cannot sit idly by and wait and watch for something to happen she reacts. Just like Jeevika did.
I know I have rambled on and could continue forever.
