Dev Dixit fell in love. He broke his engagement when he realized that. He confessed his feelings to the girl he fell in love with. His joy knew no bounds when she looked at him and said, aap mujhe hug karenge please?
He knew his Sonakshi accepted his love. He knew she loved him. He just didn't know how important he was to her. How vital his presence was to her. He has always been aware of his need for her. But probably never thought about the fact that she needed him just as much. Until last night. He was missing her. Desperate to catch a glimpse of her. Spend a few minutes with her. Turning grumpy and irritable because she wasn't doing even that little thing. And then he knew. He looked into her sad, desolate eyes and he knew. He saw his Sona's beautiful eyes full of tears and he knew.
I think he had a subconscious inkling of it when she had been in that accident. When she woke up, took one look at him, wrapped her arms around his waist, hid her face in his tummy and hugged him tight. When she was connected to all those tubes, wrapped in so many bandages, she gaped at the blood splattered on his shirt in horror, terrified by the mere thought that he might have gotten hurt.
Both instances hit him hard. That night and last night. They brought home the fact that he has become so important to her that the thought of him in any kind of pain torments her on a very deep level. That she needs the reassurance of his presence just as much as he seemed to need it. "It's not fair!" she'd said. And he realized, it was indeed not fair. For her. For him.
Pyaar kiya toh aisa laga ki humsafar paaliya!
Humsafar kab humdard bangayi pata hi nahi chala!
