To me it seemed the Aditya being a poet/writer at soul thought he was being profound by comparing Imlie a living breathing woman to ocean and waves. But Aryan who respects Imlie first and foremost as human disliked it. In a previous episode Aditya called Imlie a butterfly and even then Aryan disliked the metaphor and told him that she was a survivor.
When you compare a human being with certain things you are basically reducing the entirety of that human to that object to validate your comparison. In this case, by comparing a woman to waves, he was setting a boundary for her. Waves come and hit the shores because thats their boundary. They do not move forward. They have a fixed path. They are limited to the shores and break away. They have no other options. By saying that to Imlie he was binding her to these characteristics. Like saying you crossed your boundaries, you betrayed me. You left me. Its degrading for a woman especially when she has been the only one fighting for the relationship from the beginning. Trying to guilt her into being the deceiver.
Aryan not being the one with word surprising can see through them to understand its an insult to Imlie. Imlie, though was doing it for AKT and T family was fighting Aryan. She has the fire and power to pick herself up and move forward breaking the norms and the tides. He was not taking that insult on her lying down. Thats why Imlie stopped him and said I can fight my battles and proceeded to give Aditya a fitting reply. But a man who doesn't do poetry and words are not his strong suit, for him to identify these nuances of manipulations hidden behind pretty words is just worth a mention.
well and when he called her a butterfly he was shaming her for being friendly with her co-worker
