Their car conversation was pretty clear about where the problem was. He is aware Malini will be hurt but he is ok with it since he knows that is the only way he gets to live his truth. But Imlie clearly does not understand it fully and he is not going to override her wish in all this. Atleast not just yet. If she continues pushing him towards Malini, he might end up snapping.
His interactions with his editor and Prakash were an indicator of how Aditya will feel about the truth coming out. Not telling it out loud is a burden that he has been ready to be done with since the moment he accepted his real feelings.
Sorry for ghusoing! I found it really interesting that both Pamk06 and you brought up this point. Completey agree to both your points. I think initially it was Malini's health stopping him and now it is Imlie's vachan. I also think, that he is waiting for Imlie to accept the relationship like he has done. Not because of her vishwas alone. He wants her to need this relationship with her full heart. Till date he has taken all the actions for both of them...oh well until ofcourse Imlie left for PD. Telling the truth is not going to be only his responsibility...even though he probably is more accountable. Imlie has stopped him from revealing the truth plenty of times..
But they are so stuck in the vicious circle or right, wrong, hurt, love, deserving, undeserving...It will take a while for them to understand that something must end for something to begin....(Abhi toh didi, is really a didi has to be revealed..fir toh pata nahi kaunse guilt excursion pe nikalegi Imlie.sigh.)
But what a true thought you both have brought out- he is at the point where he is not afraid..But is Imlie ready?
