OS - Say you believe me!! Part 5 Pg 39 Sept 25 - Page 25

"You know me very well, don't you?"

"I thought I did."

This was required.. The ruefulness of the situation, the trust is gone from both their sides. He left her, she was ready to. The hesitant start to their relationship.. 👏

You reminded me that she also was ready to leave him in spite of her promise.

"But my mother was on her deathbed. To grab her and get her back, I needed both my hands and in that process I had to let go of your hand. I traded off my heart for her life.

Dev did what he did as his mom was on the deathbed. I always wondered when people questioned why is he not fighting for his love. He can fight his mom if she is also fighting with him. To fight he needs an opponent. But the minute his mother gave up her wishes, her thoughts, her life who does he fight and how? Seeing a parent on the death bed... its no time for choices and I see that you got Sona to see that and agree to it.

This was my problem with Dev all along until Suvi wrote that OS thume ethras na ho tho and I better understood Dev.

"You'd said, humaara break up hochuka hain Mr Dixit. Aap jab chaahe aise call nahi karsakte. That...that was when it hit me. That was when it hit me what break up actually is going to entail.

You mentioned this then... as soon as you saw the episode that now it hit him what a break up means. The guy who broke up with Sona was Ishwari's son... but it broke Dev Dixit instead.

I simply loved this line. It is so true.

Who was I fooling? I cannot live without you. So I became that horrid stalker you'd accused me of being.

Dev is now not going to promise anything. He is going to let his actions speak... When he fell in love he spoke of the stars the sun and moon.. and he now realizes that he cannot simply talk. Even during the proposal he didn't promise her anything. This entire conversation he didn't promise her anything. In that sense this line is significant as it states his condition. "I cannot live without you" The only line to indicate his current situation. Simple and straight.

I noticed about the promise part only after I read this. I was so disappointed after the previous episode that I viewed the whole episode as a detached viewer. Now watched it again and surprisingly I loved the episode.

All I can ask is to believe me. Say you trust me."

Finally why you started writing the OS in the first place. Like I said love was never a question between the two. When Sona said to him I don't believe you. It hit Dev harder than anything else. All he wants is for Sona to believe him and trust him and if he has that he can face anything.

This was the crux of the problem with what they showed.

With a tortured whisper of Sona, he grabbed her arm, pulled her back and hugged her. Hugged her so tight to himself. Like he wanted to glue himself to her.

The hardest thing for Dev to do was to see Sona walk away. He broke down.. the image of Dev crying can never be wiped out of our minds.

If she didn't agree after this, she never would... So in that sense this was potentially the last time he was seeing her. Him reacting like that, to cling on to her one last time was so required... 👏👏 Fabulous.

I read this part again after i read your review. You added more depth to what Suvi wrote or more correctly as a reader you opened me up to what the author intended.

Taking a step back and then another one, he whirled and strode back to his car, leaving her standing at her door,

I am glad for 2 things here. He did not tell her Bijoy agreed. He didn't try to emotionally pressurize her. Like the day of the proposal he said what he needed to say and took a step back.. In response Sona asked to be hugged.. Here also we shall see Sona's response in a simple hug ( The next day though) but that will convey everything.

I was thinking about this. But didn't connect with the confession. His stepping back and her asking for the hug.👏

Bijoy came back and gave her Dev's letter.

Finally the letter... it has reached the person it was intended for. Strange it's intended purpose was to severe all ties and yet here the letter was instrumental in strengthening the bond between Dev and Sona..

Brilliant

"In this rain? Are you kidding? Message me his number. I'll talk to him and then come and pick you up. You stay put until I get there, you hear me?"

Haq hai mera... that's how he is going to be. She doesn't say a yes.. But she spoke to him and he will always be protective of her.

Same what I felt when I read.

Kharapa na, Bijoy thought to himself with a smile. Not bad. "Are you sure?" he asked, nevertheless.

Touchdown... Bijoy has completely accepted Dev here.

I was smiling with Bijoy.

Dev took one step back into the rain when his arm was held and pulled. He turned and found Sonakshi in his arms. His Sona. In his arms. Hugging him.

The response to taking the step back... " Mr. Dixit aap mujhe hug karenge please" She needed to ask then... Now he was equally hers as she was his. They truly complete each other.

You understand both Dev and Sona better.

"Did you just...why did you...are you..." he gave up. "Don't go. Please," he finally whispered.

He is so scared to interpret what he thinks could be.. He needs the assurance so much...

I so loved this part. He can't believe that his Sona have accepted him back. Because he truly believes that he doesn't deserve her anymore.

Divya you made me understand what Suvika wanted to convey in a more better way. You have done complete justice to it.👏
