The conflict they managed to create in this track was sheer clever writing. They brilliantly exploited the flaws of their.leads. I always said aryan is not perfect . He is suffering from.survivor's guilt . This is what they used to create.conflict. Unpopular opinion but I don't think aryan is acting like a dumb person. Aryan is wallowing in extreme guilt of failure to protect his loved one again. He is at his lowest now ,I personally would have found unrealistic if he was still being all.calculative . He can't be right. He thinks he can't father child, his wife is pregnant and only thing making sense for him is she is wronged. The amount of anger and guilt he must be feeling is unmeaseureable.
You know what hurts most is that the way narrative is suggesting at the end when aryan will come to terms with truth at that time Imlie would have had MC, . The moment he will come to know it his child,.he will.loose him.
The pain, guilt, shame he will feel will be inexplicable to the point that he will feel worthless of Imlie's love. I think the plot that remain untouched during arvind's saga will be touched now. I always felt aryan never accepte his.love for Imlie bcz he felt culprit for arvind's death and considered himself unworthy of being loved..
That is going to come next. He will again start feeling undeserving of love that too especially Imlie's .
Ahh I think we are in for a emotional.stirring angst.
If plot could go in the direction you are suggesting then I should gather all of tissue paper boxes because both Sumbul and Fahmaan have potential to make me cry like nuts. Your direction of the plot does make sense though
