Shouldn't he have the highest regards for the sentiments of heart and being loyal to your humsafar??? Then why does he talk about betrayal and thinks love is a beautiful lie?? Does not make sense at all. Pls tell me, Why, oh why he is not happy with the recovery news???
Exactly. If anything, his wait testifies to the immense love that one has for one's humsafar. That he remained faithful to her and didn't marry a second time is the greatest tribute to the idea.
The feeling that I get is... perhaps he found out that she wasn't worthy of the high esteem he held her in. That he was disillusioned by all these grand notions of love and companionship which once ruled his life, but now seem obsolete. At the same time, his foolish heart desperately yearns for the same thing. Remember yesterday's feeding scene- his confession to dream Aarzoo that she will become his aadat, without which he cannot lead his life?
Perhaps seeing Aarzoo, cast in the same mould as he was, and embodying all the things that he holds dear- a woman who appreciates all the lovely, worthwhile things in life; a woman of substance and high ideals, untouched by the materialistic aspects of life. Her palpable naivete and innocence, the pleasure she takes in the simple things. More importantly, the soul of the artist that inheres in her, something that he can identify with. All this is awakening all those buried passions in him. And that is what troubles him the most. He yearns for her with a despair- but he is too afraid of this prospect of happiness and love, or that he might poison this beautiful, innocent, fairy-like creature with his love!
Whew! That was a long post. Kudos if you managed to read through it😆
