Societal Expectations: The Pressure on Young Fathers

Now, as he works tirelessly to secure a comfortable future for his family, he comes across as insensitive and overly ambitious.

Kese keh dia, kese keh dia kay humare bache ko bojh samjhta hoon. Bojh hosakta hai kiya, us k ane ki khushi nahi manai toh is ka matlub hai kay main khush nahi hoon. Mere dil ka tukda hai, mere wajood ka hissa hai. Apne farz pure nahi kar sakoonga shayad, is hi khauf se khush nahi ho pata. Main chahta hoon jab woh is duniya mein ankhein khole, us ka baap us se ek achhi zindagi dene k qabil ho. Tumhe aur humare bache ko ek achi zindagi dene ki khuahish rakhna kia ghalat hai? Sharjeena tum ne humesha mujhe samjha hai, sirf tum ne humesha mera sath diya hai. Sab ne ghalat samjha, bura kaha, aur tum sath kharhi rahi phir ab kyun.

Mustafa’s intention to work hard and provide a better life for Sharjeena and their unborn child come out as selfish sometimes. This perception overlooks the pressures he faces as the primary breadwinner. Mustafa wants to move to a better neighborhood to ensure a secure life for his child, but Sharjeena’s reluctance to leave their old mohalla (neighborhood), adds to his stress. Despite his busy schedule, Mustafa tries to show up for Sharjeena’s doctor’s appointment, demonstrating his commitment to her and their child. Yet, Sharjeena, battling loneliness and struggling with her health, fails to acknowledge the emotional and physical toll on Mustafa, a young father dealing with new responsibilities, as she focuses instead on his shortcomings.
Sharjeena’s Struggles: Pregnancy and Emotional Turmoil
Pregnancy is undoubtedly a challenging period for women, and Sharjeena’s experience is a testament to this. Her gynecologist emphasizes the importance of a stress-free environment, noting that her blood pressure needs to remain normal. Sharjeena feels lonely and emotionally exhausted, exacerbated by her decision not to seek her parents’ help during this time. This isolation, combined with pregnancy hormones, makes her situation even more difficult.
Mama buhat akeli hogai hain beta, jaldi se ajao please. Is akelepan aur sanatay se ab mujhe khauf aata hai. Tumhare Baba ne toh mujhe akela chhor diya, woh hum se buhat dur chale gaye hain.
Sharjeena from Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum
Sharjeena’s complaints about Mustafa’s busy schedule are valid. She feels neglected and alone in their apartment while he is caught up in his work. Mustafa’s commitment to his career, although driven by his desire to provide a better life for his family, leaves Sharjeena feeling abandoned. She then provides to give him the silent treatment, refusing to engage and resorting to sarcasm to unleash her frustrations & resentment. However, the emotional support she needs is often lacking due to his overwhelming work commitments.
Men Should Learn from Mustafa: Balancing Work and Family
Mustafa’s experience serves as a lesson for men on the importance of balancing work and family life. While his dedication to his career is commendable, it is equally vital for him to take out time for Sharjeena. Achieving this balance is crucial not just for the well-being of the family but also for personal fulfillment.
Sharjeena’s role as a working woman should make her aware of the pressures Mustafa faces in his creative job. His frustration over the low downloads of his new game is a testament to his passion and commitment. Mustafa’s role as a boss and partner in his company adds another layer of responsibility, often driving him to overwork. However, it is imperative for him to find moments of respite and engage with Sharjeena, offering her emotional support and companionship.
On the other hand, Sharjeena needs to understand the demands of Mustafa’s dream job and the pressure of meeting professional goals. Her decision to avoid seeking her parents’ help during pregnancy to protect Mustafa from their criticism further isolates her. This emotional fatigue is palpable, and recognizing each other’s struggles is the first step towards mutual support.
