Yet Another Mother-Son Relationship to Explore

You would think that when a child finds out that their mother (or father) is re-marrying, they would feel dissappointed thinking of the adjustment with a new father (or mother), a new family and that they would have to share the love if they get a step sibling ... all that sorts. But here, the first thing that striked Aditya's mind when he found out that his mom is getting married again was the Merchant Mansion and that only. He seemed afraid of losing the Mansion, as a whole, to some random non-Merchant as compared to worrying about having a step father now. It makes me wonder if he values power and wealth more as compared to family and relationships? There goes one minus point in this mother-son r/s.

The mother's no better becoz she leaves me even more confused. 😆 If you're marrying for the second time, the first person whom you would want to tell or seek permission/advice from would be your children, woudn't it? (provided if one was married with kids in the previous marriage) Instead here we had Devika asking her mother-in-law permission first (nothing wrong in that i suppose) BUT it was only her whom she asked! 😕 Why didn't she ask Aditya and Miranalini? Wasn't Mrinalini there when Devika was talking to Dadi? Then again, when you think about it, would Aditya even be bothered or affected by his mom's second marriage if she had told him? Does the mother know this hence she didn't ask him? Yet another minus point.

Looks like this mother-son relationship seems to be on the verge of breaking unfortunately. What happened throughout the years... i wonder.

Another reason for the closeness with his grandmother could be because she was the one who thought him the tricks during his teenage years..as compared to his mom. Looks like Devika was living in fear more like it. So he thinks his mom is his weakness and grandma is his strength.

Kinda upsetting though that he thinks as such.
