But see, here's the thing, other than when S said on their wedding night that "God willing, this marriage won't last long and I'll be out of your life," he has never had any other inkling about the 3-month time limit.
Even to R, in the office, ARI was only trying to apologize for the state of affairs, not trying to reassure him that he will get S back soon. Even he knows that he won't do so (divorce her). That is not even an option for him.
He just felt very bad for R (and himself), trying to say that, the wedding is done. She's my wife. You got a raw deal. So sad. Very bad. Now let's move on. She's my wife.
Except that R said those words, more or less.
So, no matter his pouting and anger and vows to hate her, he does love her, and is hoping that she'll give some hint of either feeling for him, or, at least, show that she is deserving of his love, i.e., not a gold-digger.
The latter may be accomplished sooner, with him coming to know about Dilshaad...then the, 'I'll hate her', would be null and void and all that is left is to wait for her to love him back.
But while S, I feel, has accepted the marriage (she is very practical), I do think she is not on the love road yet. Attraction, sure...but love will take its time.
The usual things to impress a girl may not work with her. She cherishes her family above all and if ARI cares for them that may win her around.
