So when I see Dutta smiling at Naku, holding her hand, staring at her, getting ready to give her the MS back, here are the thoughts that go through my head:
Naku must have a slight sense or more that Dutta has feelings for her, unless she has inherited Babi's brains. đ Now don't get mad.
Based on her reaction, she was relieved that Anna took her secret to the grave. Instead of looking guilty or struck by her own conscience, I sensed she felt fear instead of shame. I myself did not appreciate that much.
So far, her words or actions do not indicate that she feels regret or her conscience is bothering her. So long as her secret is intact. But it is still early, let's see over the next week or so if her conscience bothers her to act. I'm not so sure she will be able to bring herself to state the truth, which is a big disappointment for someone we call a sherni...courage to do anything, including standing for the truth. The same sherni that confessed her love to Dutta in front of everyone...without hesitation.
I know the CVs will handle this with wonderful elan. I have no doubt of this. However, as much as I am loving the LS, and will continue to love it, a part of feels like Dutta is being taken for a ride and his feelings not respected. Because of all the people in his life, only Naku fully understands what half-truths, mistruths, lies, whatever one wants to call it, can do to a person like Dutta especially in love.
