I have a slightly different take on this scene. After what Ishwari said , Dev was sad and lost. Changes are not something that he likes. His mom said that since he is married now he has to take care of Sona and that she needed him, hence some things will have to change...Ishwari then goes on to say that she as his mother needs to understand this...(here its brownie points for Ishwari )...by stating that statement, she made it clear that she is sacrificing her time with her son so that Sona can spend time with Dev. And she is willing to share Dev's affection .
( Point to be noted him choosing to be with Sona and not with Ishwari makes his mom insecure .Ishwari's statements to him gives a hint of this insecurity to Dev )
Dev felt sad because he couldn't go with his mom like every year...and to top it all he didn't like the statement that after marriage things have changed. He understood that his mom was sad and had to give in for Sona's needs .
As usual our Dev babu came running to discuss his mind with his wife and best friend...what he saw - a sleeping Sona ...he looks towards the door trying to figure out what his mom told , he then picked the line, that sounded logical - "he needs to take care of his wife as she is now his responsibility" ... then you see him adjusting the blanket...and touches her hair... sits next to her ...the next scene is the most beautiful one...sensing his presence ...tired Sona keeps her head on his lap - WOW !! did he expect that ?? Nope !!
( Note : Dev when in need of care /love or emotionally weak, he does the same thing with his mom...keep his head on his mom's lap...but we never got to see anyone in his family keeping their head on his lap )
Can I say "it's a role reversal"😊
Now he has someone who needs his care , affection and support...he seemed a lil out of place...but remembers his mom's words again...keeps his hand on Sona's head as if he was telling her that I will be there always...and is thoughtful abt the balance that he will need to make in future...
I guess from here on...starts another new journey of our DevAkshi ...Dev's acceptance of Sona as his family, as someone whom he needs to protect just like any of his family members...till now She was his but he has never considered her as a part of his family. The effect of mom's advice is what we saw next morning , him feeding her . He wasn't shy / guilty ( unlike the previous night ) to tell his mom that he had breakfast with Sona. He was following his mom's advice , he needs to take care of his wife too !!😉😆
( Ishwari's previous night statement backfires 🤣...she thought that when she talks abt changes after marriage he will feel guilty , but fortunately Dev's take on the statement was way different from what his mom wanted ...I would say its Karma👏 )
Now the question is, would we get to see a weak and typical Sas Bahu serial kind of DIL in Sona?? I don't think so...her statement to Dev, in her fairy tale she sees him to feed her and make her strong so that she can fight her battles alone...
Is that a hint to the future track ?? Don't know ...one thing is understood from the breakfast scene that from now on ,her strength lies in emotional support he is going to give her . And the battles will be fought by her along with his silent and emotional support!!
I am not sure what is that one thing which will make Dev accept Sona as a part of his family. Or is it going to be multiple incidents...more of a slow journey...?? Not sure ...but whatever it is I am going to leave it to the CVs...I hope as usual they will surprise us ...
I am loving this show...and I am loving the way characters Dev and Sona are shaping for their next journey...🤗❤️ ❤️ 🤗...
This is my POV...would love to hear more abt the same from you all.
