He still has not gotten a clear picture of his love of 26 years. He feels his Anu is naive, jaroorat se jyada acchi, easily manipulated, exploited and taken advantage of. But, she clearly is not what he thinks her to be. Today, when he gives her an ultimatum to learn to say NO, I was laughing so hard. Arrrreeyyy, he is asking a Ph.D. holder to learn ABC. Anu has said No to Baa multiple times. Actually, she said No to Baa more than she said No to anybody. The most recent one was Maa turning down Baa's rational request to not get involved in Dimple's case. Baa cursed her for wanting to marry Anuj, but she performed all her wedding rituals in front of Baa's glaring eyes. She can also say NO to her children. She blurted out P's truth even after his request to not reveal anything to Kinjal. She ousted Pakhi from KM even after she begged her not to. She clearly and loudly says NO when she does not want to do something. Anuj is not understanding the simple fact that she has no maternal affection toward CA. She just can't come to love her. It happens. She most probably does not love anyone. She is too self-obsessed to think beyond herself. So, asking her to sort her priorities is not going to change anything. She has her priorities sorted. She is exactly doing what's important for her and prioritizing those things that will benefit her in the long run. Anuj can't expect her to love CA overnight. It's better if he stops expecting anything from her regarding CA. He should not involve her in CA's life as it will only lead to heartache for the poor girl. Actually, Anuj is the one who needs to set some boundaries and sort his priorities.
