We must remember we are watching a man struggle with a bad decision alone. His reactions are purely instinctive and raw. If he knew he had witnesses he'd be in control ,like he is when his mother is around. He is hiding his struggle from everyone.
Even Sonakshi.
did he even once show Sonakshi that he missed her? No. She waited for him to call at night, he never did. She went running out thinking he came, but he didn't. He sent her last cheque via courier. His mother's words became Sonakshi's last association with him.
" Some relationships were doomed to fail. Its good that you both made this decision before it became too complicated. "
Sonakshi was given no hope at all. No reason as to why she was unsuitable, just that she wasn't. He did treat her very shabbily, and she didn't deserve it. She is a strong, educated confident girl, not any less than anyone. She deserves to be happy and to move on.
Dev is struggling. Alone. He is not coping well and is cracking. He is following Sonakshi around and spying on her without involving her. If you miss her, you should tell her.
But he can't. Nothing has changed in the situation with his Ma. He cant reach out to her. He's stuck.
Sonakshi senses him. Every time she goes out, she feels him around her. He misses her and she feels it, she probably feels like he's troubled with something also.
I really wish they had a conversation, like they had in the early promo. If it doesn't bring them back together, at least keast it would help Dev move on. He needs to tell her he missed her, But he wouldn't.
You cant miss someone, not tell then,and expect them not to move on also, Dev ! You have Sonakshi no hope whatsoever.
Ritwik is a sweetheart. He understands that a man has hurt Sonakshi badly and she needs time to get over it. And he's doing such a nice thing, making her laugh with no pressure. The speed is unfortunate but these things happen.
Dev's journey is difficult. He has to decide now: Am I going to claim her back for me, or let her be happy?
