This is how i see it .
Raman being shocked and non plussed is natural . Raman NOT being shocked and totally for his new sasural is odd .
Raman's weakpoint is his first born Adi who he lost in a bitter custody battle .
Raman is vulnerable where Adi is concerned .
So vulnerable that last time he made Ishita apologise to him though he knew he was wrong .
This time he is willing to shield Shagun for Adi's sake .
Actually this is the perfect opportunity for Raman . If Shagun is taken away by the police , she loses Adi . Raman can claim him as Shagun and Ashok r not married .
Yet Raman did not hand over Shagun to the police ...why ? Coz he likes Shagun ? No , coz she is the only parent Adi relates to , and if she goes , the remaining thread of sanity in the messy divorce that affected Adi will be lost and Adi will perhaps be so shattered he may never recover .
Raman loves Adi more than he ever once loved Shagun . Hate for Shagun is not stronger than love for Adi .
To shield a person u hate for someone u love is no easy thing , its a very emotionally upsetting thing , yet he did it .
Now for the Adi vs Ishita thing . Love for Adi is seen by many as less love for Ishita .
Raman told her once that they have seperate places in his life .
If Ishita competes with Adi she loses . Coz
Adi was in his life before this few month old rocky marraige
Adi is a relation that demands egoless permanent commitment , there can be a divorce in marraige , not in your blood bond with kids .
Ishita can however win Raman over by
finding out the cause for his emotional turmoil
and herself opting not to press charges , just as she did not mind Bala going there to teach him .
It will not just win Raman over but will perhaps be the first dent in Adi's armor coz he will look at her with new eyes , it was HER mother that was injured yet for HIS sake she did not seperate him from his mom .
Ishita's mom is old and has lived , the bad days r over , Adi's life is beginning and everything depends on their decision .
This is a ruthless practical thought process .
OR
They may show Raman pressing charges , his fair side taking over his human side and Adi coming to live with them and Ishita changing him for the better .
Lets see which road the CVs take .
oh and the hug ? It did not mean a THING . It was not remotely sexual or romantic , infact he did not even notice her , he responded the same way he would have hugged an ex divorcee wife if one of his kids was having a serious life threatening surgery . So i give no credence to that , Ishita hugs Bala all the time .
