Very Poignant !
II's reaction is a reflection of HER upbringing; and R&B's HIS. Both are totally justified in their place. Somewhere R&B's experience places him in a position to walk her, reassure her through this phase.
But will he explicitly do it. Nope. Don't think so. II will have to figure it from his actions.
And for words worth this relation is now only few months old... Sometimes it takes a lifetime to figure out such men...can vouch for that! But that journey is oh so worth!
Feel like giving a big hug to II and telling her...Bask in the warmth/love that you feel with R&B. You will get there girl! All in good timeπ€.
That's a brilliant catch harshita, and when you put it this way, yes a 3- year age gap & disturbed family, estranged relationships, hardly qualifies R&B's experience.
But given how II has been crafted in this tale , she has this tremendous amount of innocence,compassion which try as she might, she cannot suppress. And plain honesty in expression which R&B in his encounters may not have seen in any girl
For him that places her apart from the rest. That would make him want to protect her, own her. Perhaps not an ideal scenario in real world...
But BOTH will have to work on their relation and no rule book yet defined that says how to, like in real world.
