Sandeep came home late, he wasn't happy with what he had done but he felt he could not still get around to accepting things as they were evolving. His adjustment to the present situation was to convince himself that it would be a phase that his mom would go through may be for a year and then regret it. At that point he would be her knight in shining armour, pull her out and prove how right he was. Even this seemed a bit out of place to him as the days passed by. One thing was clear, he had lost the opportunity to stop it completely and now he had to live with it. Somewhere he still felt angry with himself for letting things go to where they were and that anger then led to guilt and discomfort with accepting the reality. It was as if he was wrestling with all of it and knew overtime that his grip was slacking. He wasn't gaining anything, by continuing the bout, but his ego kept kicking in and he would change his mind and try again to gain control. At the end of his though he realised he had further exhausted himself and was closer to losing it all. He was just delaying the inevitable. But continuing like this had a danger too, if he accepted at least now, he could probably not risk breaking off all relationships with his maa. He began to pay more attention to that and to taking part in the remaining rituals and functions if any for that sake.
