Fire and Ice and the Fire breaking through the encased Ice
That's Dev last night in one sentence. He promised Sonakshi that he wouldn't interfere. Aage se mein aisa kuch nahi karoonga - had been his exact words. And encasing his feelings and thoughts in a block of ice is the only way he could do it.
He doesn't deserve Sonakshi. - Locked up inside
His Sonakshi is getting engaged to someone else. - Locked up inside.
His mom thinks she did the right thing by sending the alliance. - Locked up inside
His business is falling apart. - Locked up inside
Everything locked up inside.
And then the news article came out. People were pointing fingers at his love. At his Sonakshi. Everything, including his own pain was forgotten. Rage broke through that impassive face. He was vibrating in his fury. Even his voice was pulsating with offended outrage. Ishwari and Mamaji got a glimpse of it. The reporter and the editor bore the brunt of it. An apology and a retraction better be out or he, Dev Dixit, would destroy them. He ensured her reputation was safe.
And by the time Ritwik barged into his cabin, he was locked up once again. No anger. Nothing Ritwik said incited any kind of reaction. Not even Ritwik's - Sonakshi ke high class ex-boyfriend ki koi class hi nahi hain. The ice had solidified again. Yes, he came home that night. Yes, he spoke to his mom. He even said - Tera vishwaas mere liye sab kuch hain. But for once I couldn't see that naked devotion in his eyes. He just looked...tired.
And it makes me wonder...how much longer is the ice going to hold? Answer is - Probably till Monday night.
