Thank you. Here's what I think he could have done (or what anyone usually does).
His mother asked whether he had any plans. He could have said that he had and Sona is waiting for him but since they made a plan too, he will just call Sona back so that they can all celebrate together.
Agreed. I hope he says something. Sona has already texted him to let him know that her phone is running out of battery
His phone was down. So he could have borrowed Mamaji/Nikki/Riya/ Neha's cell phone or Landline whatever and call Sona and ask her to come back home because apparently his mom has also prepared a surprise party. It's a courtesy really. Even when we miss our reservation at a restaurant or a doctor's appointment, we call to let them know that we can't make it.
After that, he could have let the Aarti happen at 12:03 a.m. since it was his birth time but he could have asked every other celebration including cutting the cake to wait until Sona comes back. Again, it's called consideration that we do for our family and friends.
yes... I still think the family needs to show some basic manners too. Not just Dev, they are all flawed here.
There were a lot of things he could have done without hurting and disappointing anyone. But he didn't.
He chose to again not give a single eff about Sona hoping that like everytime she will "understand" him and he will get away with letting her down again. And he was right. Why bother understanding the woman who keeps forgiving you for being an inconsiderate man?
