I really want Aryan and Imlie to progress naturally and without any forced marriage crap.
I was thinking about what I know to be true so far:
- Imlie doesn't love Aditya. She "believes" in that marriage. She will run back to him if she believes her Sita Maiya wants it.
- She's really starting to fall hard for Aryan. She trusts Aryan. But her trust in him and self-confidence will have to go hand in hand. If her trust is shattered while she still has low self-opinion, she will momentarily forget all the ways in which he has shown genuine care and love.
- The text message: Earlier I was thinking from an AryLie lens, which makes it such a dud because he was only trying to help. The real power in the message for Imlie will be that Aditya wanted to get back with her. That he wanted to kick Malini out. That's all Imlie's wanted since separation - Malini gone.
- Aryan's so-called revenge is the biggest dud 😂. The man doesn't seem capable of hurting a fly. So the only impact it'll have is on AryLie's equation. Confident Imlie will seek to help Aru right away comfortable with her place in his life and heart. Insecure Imlie will doubt herself and him at first, but she'll arrive at the same place.
