But even though stolen, those moments were at least there. Those few moments when he was himself and was truly happy. That is why the break up shattered him so badly. Even those few moments were forcibly taken for the sake of his responsibilities. Hence the constant emphasis by him to Ishwari that he has fulfilled his responsibilities.

I feel that behind the garb if these words he is screaming to his mother, look what your expectations has done to me.

When it comes to ishwari, I think he understood her human form and accepted this truth. But coming to Sona, he can handle her anger, screaming and shouting but I think he is not able to accept her indifference nature.

I am not at all arguing that Sona's indifference didn't bother him, but in the scene where Golu asks if Dev is sad, I read it as a direct reaction to the conversation with Ishwari that has just taken place. It hurts Dev to be like this with his mother because buried under all of his pain, there is still a lot of love. But he is no longer willing to make the first step and show that love unless he is certain that it will be reciprocated. He asserts that he is still hers, if only she is willing to accept who he is now. Ishwari, woefully misguided by everybody else's opinion, thinks that this new avatar is a black hole of doom that she must pull her "raja-beta" out of. Ishwari, why not put your heart before your brains and jump in the black hole with him? You might actually find you like it! 😲😆

@vayu_prachi: Thanks, and exactly. He is fully enjoying that luxury of complete honesty, not that he isn't concerned with pleasing everyone and their mother. The

You may be right Sam but for me it was looking more like Sona's affect because in his first Convo with ishwari he was more calm and composed at the same time sarcastic but not hurt. But in the recent Convo he was looking more disturbed and hurt and I see the only difference between these scenes is Sona's presence.

@divya, I think the first and basic rule for art of balancing is understanding where your happiness lies. From my POV, I feel he is already in that path and his pace is too good at present in this journey and I hope it continues. The only thing left from his side is understanding and accepting his share in this entire mess and the same need to be done by his two most important women also then only they can bring their lives back on track and I feel in this process these kids will play major part.

Thanks again for everyone's awesome contributions. I will add some generic comments and thoughts

1. Golu and Soha have now eaten each other's lunch. i.e. been nurtured by each other's families.

2. Does Golu remind anyone of his saurabh mama? And Soha of her Riya bua?

3. Is Vicky's surname tripathi or did a shukla adopt him in the last 7 years? The text said shukla

4. Won't it be cool if BigCha prepares sandwiches for Golu and Soha starts relishing them just like her mother did?

For some reason, I am not so hassled by soha-mumma and golu-bigcha girls vs boys conversation yet. With the kids being in the same class the possibilities are now endless. I am letting the story form around the set-up that the story teller has chosen to use.

Ishwari - the trouble here is, she already did the jholi-failaoing in front of sona once. Got the toy that Dev wanted but eventually didn't like him wanting that toy. So, her solution this time cannot have Sona in it. She is trying to show her raja beta all the other toys he has in his nursery and trying to remind him how happy(!!) he was playing with those before Sona suddenly appeared and then rudely left him. Dev 2.0 is amazing that way. He is happy to co-exist in the same space as the jhula. His room is back to pre sona days, but he has made his office more orange. He doesn't wear Orange anymore. But doesn't wear greys, blues and blacks either. You see, he has become his own person who is not defined by anyone's standards. And once you start living life by your own definition, you start defining your own happiness too. His mother's undue demands don't affect him and he is comfortably able to remind her of the prenup in so many words. This is a big learning curve for Ishwari who at one point in time wouldn't even let Dev bond with his sisters. There is hollowness in his expression but that is bound to be there because something inside him died - like one of you said, the guy who used to wear his heart on his sleeve now isn't as emotionally vulnerable as he was. If ishwari can stop defining Dev's happiness by her definition and be happy for him (she has already failed twice at this), she will see her Raja beta Dev right in front of her eyes. This suffocating-palokon-pe-resident-halwa-feeding love is what Dev is running away from. It already cost him the only thing he ever wished for.

The spanner in the works is going to be Soha. You see, if Dev has a bucket list - actual or virtual, fathering a tiny miny Bose-Dixit isn't an item in there. During the fake pregnancy he had everything covered but God had other plans and Mashi ma made an entry. I think similarly, Soha's appearance is going to topple all his plans. He is brooding over losing his first love. However, he also thinks its water under the bridge.

@Malika, I have been dreaming of Dev having his own bachelor pad. Wouldnt it be cool if him, Sona, Soha and Golu were to spend time together over there? We can always dream

@Sam, poetic justice indeed where Vicky has brought sona back in Dev's ecosystem just as Dev is wanting her as far away from him as possible.

DQ , interesting thing is no matter how much Ishwari had qualms with Sona , she was never forthright about it . She was ready to put up with that for her son's happiness . Its strange that both women , Sona n Ishwari were ready to put up with the things which did not sit with their character for the sake of love . I believe Sona letting go of RR's taunts had lots to do with it . Ishwari was not ready to tell him the truth until she thought this relation is bringing him nothing but misery .

Since Ishwari is still in denial of her own role in distancing Dev , I think introspection from her part may happen only if Dev breaks down once more if he loose his kid because of pre-nup she made .
