Yes, this ultimately became the summary of the situation.....Adi fundamentally didn't trust Malini....not just when it comes to Imlie, but when it comes to handling her own Mom....he never has trusted her fully, but he never had to confront this truth so directly before this. This is a result of him and Malini glossing things over the years, and now both of them feeling shocked by the lack of trust and understanding between them.
I'm trying to think back through their conversations and I don't recall Adi ever saying "I trust you, Mun"....it has mostly been, "I'll fulfill my promise to you, you know me best, you understand me best".....no mention of trust anywhere.
That is probably part of it....I also think that Adi has never fully understood the instinctual nature of trust....you don't have to declare trust on someone for trust to exist....it's something that you instinctively start feeling towards a person. Adi has actually developed instinctual trust and expectations towards Imlie.....maybe because from the very beginning of them meeting, she has been stepping up to take a stand for him....even to the point of standing between him and death. He has never gotten that from Malini - their relationship never faced anything like that. So the trust has been of a very surface level - not really meaningful and deep.
The shocking thing for Adi to process right now is that his trust and concern are both for Imlie right now over the woman he claims is his rightful wife. When it came to Imlie, he didn't even trust the woman he claims he wants to spend his whole life with....and that's definitely a warning sign for them.
Yes, to some extent, that question is getting answered....the silver coin is like a burden for him that he is feeling weighed down by in terms of expectations, considering himself unworthy of. The simple coin on the other hand, instantly feels apna to him.
Again, this reminds me of Adi's own gyaan on relationships that he has forgotten....the right partner won't make your relationship feel like a cage, instead it will give you wings to fly :)
