This is what I got at face value as well. I'm perfect with this explanation as long as Adi keeps within his limit in his future dealings with MAlini. Somehow I worry that this is the start of Adi propooing up Didi under the guise of fikar and ghehri dosti :( No trust left with CVs now,,
I also think he will start propping up didi. And after knowing that didi lied about having a BF just so that Adi-Imlie can get together, didi will definitely get the devi status from Adi😆. Because didi did so much for him, he will always have a soft spot for her and will definitely go out of his way for didi, confusing imlie (and the audience) in the process. But the truth will remain that he always loves Imlie the most.
