I get that ,….but I think settled is not equal to marriage or partnership with someone else …settled is financial and emotional/ mental stability and some sort of emotional support…like friends or family u can rely on….
naina was a strong willed girl who had her entire family behind her (post aman fixed her family problems ) …rohit had her back without or without marriage ….he was always there for her …she was settled in many ways …perhaps not romantically involved but that has to happen organically …which it will if she has he chance to heal in due course
I didn’t think getting her married would be the fix for her grief …her and rohit could have continued to date, be engaged and committed to each other, process their grief for aman and in due course get married one they feel ok …it’s exactly the same
….except that she wasn’t getting married with unprocessed grief in her head on her wedding day …and rohit isn’t as conflicted in his head next to his weeping bride
I see what RTH is saying. Similar scenario. When the hubby of one of the U.S. supreme court justices got dementia, he was placed in a nursing home. He completely forgot about her and his family and developed an affection for another resident. Justice (O'Connor, I think) in fact blessed their relationship because she wanted him to have that companionship in his last days.
It may be a bit paternalistic, but it is very much human nature to arrange things to our satisfaction so we can go/let others go in peace.
