You are right in one of your earlier posts. Ishwari is Dev's responsibility. The more I think about it, the more I realise how true that statement is. He has seen his mom struggle to take care of them / him when he'd been a child. He did whatever he could but the majority of the responsibility had rested on her shoulders.
Now he has grown up and taken over that from his mother. He wants her to relax. Not think or worry about anything. She's done that all these years and he doesn't want her to do it anymore. Maa tu chinta na kar. Mein sab sambhal loonga. Maa tu tension kyu leti hain. These are the most frequently used words to her.
So, he won't share his thoughts. Whatever they are. He will handle them as he sees it fit - be it Nikki's issues or Neha's or his own engagement with Natasha. Not sharing is a norm rather than an exception for Dev. And the exception is Sona. He sees her as his equal. His partner. He is learning to share his thoughts with her. He's still not completely used to it. Like he didn't tell her what's going on with the Gujral business deal due to the broken engagement etc. She came to know and asked. She is teaching him. Showing him that life can be easy / lighter that way. And he is learning. And relishing that feeling of unburdening himself in front of her - be it about his meeting or missing Neha or his mom's health.
Mein sab sambhal loonga . This tough exterior that he has projected.. that is getting difficult for him... causing him sleeplessness, causing him to take sleeping pills...
He doesn't sleep enough... We have heard this a number of times.. he has justified it saying mein dair se sota hoon... but the truth is he hardly gets sleep. With so much to worry about, no wonder he fell sick.. Because this matter of his mom thinking of Sona as a baharwali, pinched him... he tried to tell that to Sona.. but it would hurt her so he bottled it up and it has been eating him up.
No wonder he was edgy, reactive continuously trying to gauge Ishwari's reaction the last couple of episodes.
I wish when ever they decide to have the "parivartan" of Ishwari , she realizes that he is the son she the mother, he the provider, she a responsibility, he the parent, she the child.
But they were never friends !!
