He mentioned of not getting him triggered. I think maybe he won't able to stop then in his limits, if she continues to meddle with him like that. It surely pointed out that why should he alone have decency and civil limits. And also, he still has some tad bit of insecurity in losing out his own self and personality in the quest and acceptance of his love for her, by his own self.
He is definitely open to loving and accepting her wholeheartedly but for that he need not erase or change anything about his connection to Imarti. When Naeem Bi mentioned how Imarti had died, and when I saw how he felt about Minnie above all else, it was even more obvious that he would never forget Imarti or his first child or stop hurting. It's just that over time he would learn to deal with that hurt better.
Again, maybe I'm completely wrong here. I think as he was leaving for Chandigarh he had time to think that he must continue to maintain his control over himself, and never lose control that way again. I think he surprised himself and I think he is afraid of making an irreparable mistake that could hurt Babita. Especially after what Minnie and he discussed in the hospital, he might be worried about crossing the lines of decency.
Naeem Bi had also told Beeji that HS had been crazy about Imarti. I don't think it was just a sweet innocent kind of romance. They were both strong-headed and passionate people, and I don't think that aspect of HS has changed at all. I think he is afraid to unleash that on Babita because he still sees her as a gentle soul who would never be able to handle his craziness the way Imarti used to be able to.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. Are you referring to his loss of self-respect? Or are you saying that he is cautious that he channels his emotions in a reasonable way instead of going nuts for Babita the way he used to for Imarti?
