If things were normal and Dev confessed his love for Nithya and she also reciprocates, I really wonder if Dev would have had the guts to marry her despite all the opposition from his family.I dont think Suchitra would also have said yes to this alliance as she seems to care for Rajnath and his family more.
But since things were not normal and Nithya's family was wiped out due to Payal's incident and thanks to the ruthless Goenkas, is Dev still the Mr.Right for Nithya.
He knew something had happened to Payal and Nithya and his family was not sharing any information about this. Even if he assumed things were normal back home, he was okay with Nithya not contacting him for the last two years. But here he was well aware that something happened to Nithya. It did not come as shock to him after two years.
Yes, he was having Visa problems. But why did he not approach his friends - Sonali and Gautam to enquire about Nithya and Payal. He must have heard of the death of their parents. And he never doubted that his uncle's family were so dangerous that they might harm Gautam or Sonali or any of his friends.
After coming back, he directly confronted Shaurya. But when his family got offended and his mother admonished him, he chose to get the information through RTI and when again his family found out, he gave back the RTI files but never tried to find out about the people who testified against Payal .
He was then introduced to Durga and somewhere in his subconscious, he felt that she was like Nithya and he found her as an enigma and felt in his heart that if he finds out who Durga really is, he might find his Nithya. Its more of a gut feeling and an intuition rather than a logical analysis.
Coming to finding about Payal, he very well knows that the truck accident was a murder attempt on him and he and Gautam luckily survived. Though he does not connect this to his uncle's family, he realizes that this could have been made by any person involved in the case as many top people were involved. He feared for Gautam's life and sent him away. But he should have been surprised that just for trying to find out the truth his life was put to danger. He also knew that the prime witness from Payal's side, Divya and her father Bagchi went missing. Nitya, Divya, Mr.Bagchi all the people who supported Payal were missing. But he never tried to analyze who could be behind these people's disappearance. He may not believe his family but it has to be someone from the people involved in the case.
So When Durga took him to Payal and he knew she made a good progress in her recovery, was it difficult to guess that Payal's life would also be in danger if people came to know that she was recovering.
Yes, he thought he would get some clue from Nithya's diary and was shocked to find the important pages missing. But what did he supposed to find out from them. That Nithya would write down where she was going or if she would say all the people who testified against Payal were lying. If he believed Payal, then its obvious that they were lying. He was not depending on that diary till he came to know that Durga had it.
Then he goes to the place where Payal had undergone her initial treatment. Perhaps he thought that he might get Nithya's whereabouts if she was the one who got Payal admitted. Instead he only manages to get the case file. So from finding Nithya, he moved off to find what was Payal's mental problem. What did he expect,if Payal was genuinely mad and her treatment correct? But then did he suspect anything else.
Luckily for him, he found out that the file was altered and was made recently to deceive anyone. So atleast at this point of time, he should realize that people are keeping an eye on those trying to find out about Payal and trying to divert their attention.
And immediately after that Payal was attacked and has a total relapse. Yet he does not suspect anyone and only want to find out things about Durga and why she is marrying Shaurya esp when she cares about Payal so much. It may be a gut feeling again that Durga is somehow connected to Nithya.
Sakshi also had this gut feeling, this intuition all the time when people from Payal's case got exposed even in different incidents. But she was always trying to analyse things logically.
But Dev never tried to put one and one together. Agreed there was a lot of disturbing events in the family occurring within a short interval of time - Like he getting shot, Shaurya's suicide attempt on Durga's engagement, Durga confessing her love and Durga Shaurya getting engaged and marriage fixed with in a couple of weeks time, Payal getting attacked, and now Shaurya's attack.
But these events were equally disturbing Sakshi, Yet she never deterred or got confused but was trying to find ways to get to know about Durga or keep Durga away from Shaurya.
Agreed Dev cannot think to the level of Sakshi, but he cannot stay where he is. He has to move to a higher level.
He should tell himself on what he wants -
1. Fact about Payal -
What happened to Payal and who were responsible for it (assuming he still does not believe it is his cousin's family) ?
And what precautions he would take so that either his or Payal's life is not put to danger (an accident was set up to kill him and he knew that and Payal's medical records were faked up)
2.Finding Nithya -
What happened to Nithya and where she could be right now, He has to try asking people who knew her and who might have seen her last. Payal is in no condition to give him any information.
3.Solving mystery of Durga -
Why does he have this gut feeling of Durga that she does have some mystery around her which might lead him to Nithya. Mere confrontation or searching her house is not enough.
So Dev has to ponder over the three things and decide what he wants as a priority and then try to focus on how to get the facts while taking precautions. He feels that he has to know about Durga before her marriage to Shaurya else he might have to go back to USA.
So is it only Durga for whom he is staying back. What if Durga gets married to Shaurya, it changes nothing when it comes to Payal or Nithya. If not for Durga, he should be staying back to find out the facts about them.
But Dev really is not clear what he wants and he confuses himself by asking the same questions again and again.
Dev is definitely a straight forward person, good at heart and an ideal partner. But that is only when everything around is well and normal.
But if things go array, not doubting his good intentions, is he smart enough to be depended and looked upon to set things right?
This would be a question even if nothing happened to Payal and his family had objections to his marriage with Nithya.
