And it's been so so long since I got to read one of your reviews. I know we talk and talk and talk and burn WhatsApp too but still.. the pleasure of reading your analysis gives me a special high. You even pushed back your lunch to get this one out so double thank you.
"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.. 👏
Yup. Reminded me of my Destiny's Play. He told her to go and she went - there too, of course for a different reason.
"Yeah. I have forwarded the details to my HR guys. They'll take care of everything." Sona nodded and left it at that. "Sonakshi?"
Glad there was only a mention of the professional relationship. No detailing required here.
🤔 Wonder who told me not to get into these details
One hurdle and you dropped my hand like a hot potato. Like a useless piece of furniture."
This is what Sona is asking, we are all asking. How did he just drop her in a split second break up with her?
"It had to be done that way or I would never have been able to do it. You were right when you said, yeh sirf aapka pyaar nahi hain. But it had to be done that way. In your medical language, like a band-aid being ripped out.
You and I have agreed on this and discussed this so many times. The forum was up in arms why Dev broke up this way and we know he is not strong enough to do it any other way.
Poor guy yaar. And that scene.. I was watching and feeling for both of them. She, unaware, blissfully stating - where would I be, but beside you.. the more she talked, the harder it got for him until he snapped and broke
Maybe because of the different cultures. Maybe because of the food habits.
So clueless as to why Mom didn't like... Are we going to see that awareness coming soon?
I don't know. You tell me. 😆
But that night I realized she would rather end her life than live with my choice."
The line from Dev's Letter's OS sneaked its way back I see.
"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.
I think this dialogue is the best. Absolutely LOVED it.
"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.
And I can't forget the way he broke down. Normally a guy crying buckets puts me off BIG time but it was tough NOT to feel Dev's pain.
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.
And I think he is going to watch his words from now on. He has learnt his lesson.
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.
I loved Sona didn't agree right away. The day she ran out of her engagement she kind of lost that right. So conferring with her family before saying anything makes sense.
Logic and sense.. we can't let go of either, can we?? 😆
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.
The transition through the various incidents... why they were all required, how they tied up to the story this para is the best example of that. She must have also noticed him take a step back so she is not impacted professionally when he didn't initially come to her presentation.. I am guessing she did, you just forgot to mention it here.
Yes. I forgot.
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..
Kudos!!
Yeah. I wanted her to read that letter. Somehow. Someway.
The entire accident incident was drafted to ensure Bijoy sees this. Sees Dev as a savvy businessman. Not just as a loser, a mumma's boy, a drunkard. To see the Man Sona fell in love with, to remind Sona of the man she fell in love with... So glad Bijoy's concerns were addressed.
Finally no emotional blackmail here either... No "You have to agree." .. Complete choice... Do what you want and we support you in the decision to be or not to be with Dev... Bijoy understands it is for Sona to trust him again not for them as parents to force her.
Bijoy has learnt his lesson too. He had tried to push his wishes onto her before and look how that turned out. I am not blaming him of course... just saying that he wouldn't do it again.
****
"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.
Yup.
Kharapa na, Bijoy thought to himself with a smile. Not bad. "Are you sure?" he asked, nevertheless.
Touchdown... Bijoy has completely accepted Dev here.
When a rough exclamation, he dragged her back into his arms. "Never again Sona. Never again." He pulled back, cupped her face, scattering kisses all over her face. Forehead, eyes, cheeks, chin, lips. "Never Sona," he repeated with every desperate kiss. "Never again," he asserted.
CVs... yeh hota hai passion... yeh...
I want to run to them , huddle with them and say... aww... I love you three...
You should've told me.. I would have added that too. Divya, watching them from afar goes running and they share a group hug. 🤣
Fresh out of shower, clean shaved, hair-trimmed and neatly brushed, every inch the savvy entrepreneur ready to start his day and take on the world.
Extra credit for this!!
My fingers had been itching to write that since I started typing part one. 😆
Ishwari stood there, stunned, staring at her son's departing figure. Sonakshi's house? Without having the breakfast cooked by your maa?
Lets deal with her in the next part . Me not saying anything here.
Good girl 😆
Asha smiled and stepped aside in welcome. "Please come inside. Sona is upstairs in her room. This way," she gestured him towards the stairs. She smiled affectionately.
Yes.. lets get him to call them Maa and Baba... The comfort level is already there.. she is letting a guy in her daughter's room...
Sabr. Sabr.
Shedding the last of his hesitancy, he grinned back at Asha and took the stairs that would take him to his Sona's room.
"Good morning my Jungli Billi!" he greeted.
Ms. Khargosh ab Jungli Billi ban chuki hai!! Super Duper Update...
Don't you dare expect me to write such reviews for each OS that you write.. It was tough writing this review and I can imagine how emotionally draining writing the OS would be and you deserve it... Awesome Job dude... Now you know why I kept saying write this OS!!
Of course O Wise One!!
Lets get the last part out...
