@Sanfan..
Benna, interesting point here..At some level this thought is very unsettling too...which is why this whole aspect in the narrative has raised some very uncomforatable questions. I will elaborate later due to paucity of time but briefly my point is...this desire to be a choice is understandable but this desire to be first choice is actually a facet of chauvinism and regressive thinking. I know we are looking at this as a story and romantic love does tend to challenge many notions that are uncomfortable...I hope the Cvs address this issue sensitively..in the Aditya phase..
Does he have an issue with being her second choice? Or just choice? He feels Suman is agreeing to him because of family, and Aditya was her original choice. He is so desensitized to other's pain at this moment (just like Suman), that he does not for once think that Suman may have been pressurized then (with nanu on death bed). He has no idea on all the things that have been happening behind his back all these years and everyone (except Lalaji and Pushkar) have been manipulating him to some degree. He did get uncomfortable with Suman having a crush in college remember, that's when he realized his love and then that match.com rishta, that Suman used as an excuse for making him meet Nirmala... I guess with Adi, Suman defied not his importance but what his perception (and in his world a final acceptance of her, despite her flaws/their disagreements) of Sumo is that hurts him the most...
