"The heart wants what it wants. It doesn't seek other people's opinions; sometimes not even your own"
Dr. Steve Maraboli
This quote summarized the week for me. Be it for Ishwari, Dev or Sona.
If Dev the son and the husband were in direct conflict with Sona the daughter and the wife in S1, it is a conflict between the Dev and Sona the lovers and the parents in S2. They are in control of the son and daughter aspect of themselves in this season which actually played havoc in their lives.
Dev, when he signed off the agreement of writing off his rights on his daughter he respected his daughter's mother's fears and tried to put a rest to it which he was never able to do with his mother. When Sonakshi was angry on him after Soha was hurt and he accepted it quietly it was again because he respected his daughter's mother's concern. Dev the father trusts Sonakshi the mother of his child. He understands that she will never use that agreement to keep him away from their daughter. His only gripe with her is that she needed this document to trust Soha with his family.
He signed Soha's form, perfectly understanding that Sona will never contest it. He also knew she will come with their daughter no matter what. Though he said he went there for Soha, as soon as Golu spotted her and went to her Dev's eyes were searching for Sona. He had eyes only for her even though he acknowledged the fan girls there. Sona's attempt of indifference hurt him though. Throughout their interaction they were just the hurt lovers.
I for one loved their entire interaction in the balcony including the hand tying. (No I am not a fan of Christian Grey) Pretty Preethy was surprised that flirty Dev could be serious about someone. So what did she want from him when she was casually including pyaar in it'? I loved the way Preethy accepted that they were just friends, without even batting an eye lash. She just grew on me there. When Dev apologized to her saying he is in love with someone, has been waiting for her for the past 7 years, will wait until she accepts that they were meant to be together and looked at Sona pointedly his heart was in his eyes. He saw what he was searching for in her eyes before he turned the table. Not so easy lover.😆 Sona might have been pretty good at concealing her emotions to every one including her family but not with Dev. He already saw what was behind that mask once and he is not going to let go until it is completely chipped away.
Dev have been shown repeatedly asking her to ask his help, to rely on him, to let go and trust him for once. Even if he shows in his own way how much he loves her he is not going to stop pushing her until she starts trusting him and lays her heart bare this time. If she can't trust him with her fears they cannot move forward even with all the love that they have which remains intact even after 7 long years.
When Dev said he will always be together and got close to her, she was lost completely. Her husky Dev' kya kar rahe ho' took me back to their hug in Dev's room during Neha's wedding.😳 There Dev tied a gajra' to her hair to make her his whereas here he tied her hands when she was already his. Dev tied his lover Sona and not Soha's mother. But the thing I loved was Dev played blindfolded and that was tied by Soha herself. So Dev needs Sona to reach Soha or else he will be completely blind. He won because Sona wanted him to.
The precap was interesting because of Dev's remarks that Sona is now 7 years back Dev. So just like Sona brought the colours of love in Dev, he is going to bring back the colours in her life.😃
