One of the continuing themes of this PD trip and Adi's realization have been his fear of losing Imlie.
This was touched upon again in yesterday's epi in the tone in which he said, "Tum humaare saath nahin aana chahti"?.....oh man, it's worth taking a step back many times to remember that the guy who never cared where ANYONE was coming or going😆.....isko bas apne aane jaane se matlab hota tha....that guy now is shown always with this vulnerability in his eyes regarding the fact that Imlie can leave him.
Throughout his relationship with Malini, Adi kept claiming that Malini gives him space, gives him understanding, never questions when he has to leave for work. He gave her pampering, mush when she asked for it....but I never once saw a vulnerability in him that he may lose Malini.
I've seen him worried for her health, worried that she may be hurt, worried that the truth will shatter her.....but none of that worry ever matched up to this feeling that completed undoes him even at the THOUGHT of Imlie leaving or not being with him.
It's all ofcourse been triggered by the fact that Imlie showed the courage and resolve to leave him.....and she didn't do it in anger or to prove a point to him....she did it all with honesty....clearly letting him know at every step why she's leaving him even though she considers herself attached to him. And that very thing undid him.
This entire time in PD, he's been asking Imlie in a zillion roundabout ways ki tum waapis naahin chalogi? Tum chahti ho hum chale jaayein?....it's all been connected to the same basic vulnerability....the vulnerability that comes with loving someone so much that you can't live without them....and you fear losing them.
Adi experiences this vulnerability more acutely than Imlie because he's never loved anyone/anything in life enough to fear losing it before. Imlie on the other hand has loved and lost many things in her life so she has the emotional strength to leave....and that's what she did. But Adi hasn't been able to reconcile to that....that how could Imlie leave him after everything.
And I think this will remain a lingering vulnerability in him for a long time....that if Imlie could leave him once, she can leave him again😆.....he will keep coming back to this point in different ways....either pleading with her or taunting her over it.....but that will always be his hurt that she left him....lol....until the time comes when Imlie promises him that she will never leave him.
This contrast was touched on slightly in his FB about Malini where they talk about how you fear losing someone if you truly love them.....but I don't know if it's fully connected consciously in Adi's mind yet that this is what he's feeling only for Imlie, not Malini.....the irony is that Malini also left his house but I doubt even when he goes back and learns this, if he will ever feel the vulnerability he feels over losing Imlie.
