Subhash reflects on the silence that looms between him and Bela, stemming from her irreversible decision to abandon their child. The weight of guilt rests heavily on her, as she feels the profound loss of severing the bond with her child. This act, she believes, is more devastating than any of Udayan’s actions. The realization of her crime leaves her with a sense of culpability that is unshakeable.

Despite the pain, she never attempted to reach out to Bela, feeling that nothing she could say would alleviate the hurt caused by her absence. The horror of her decision looms in her mind, leading her to abandon the instinct to comfort or reconnect. In her view, remaining silent is more bearable than any words that might echo her regrets, illustrating the depths of her remorse for the life forever altered by her choices.
