Today's episode was all about Gamble and the destruction it leaves behind.
I was very upset with both Dev and Sona today... I hate to say this but for once, Ishwari said something right although it was her own damn fault. She said why did Dev asked for permission if he didn't intend to follow through her opinion?
The same can be said for Sonakshi. Why did she let Dev come to the engagement party, when she knows that she becomes weak in front of Dev and it will hurt all of them?
Dev and Ishwari have a strange relationship. The closest comparison I can find is Parasitic plants...
Parasitic plants clutch onto a solid tree and get their nutrients from the solid tree, but they are never a part of that tree.
Dev and Ishwari's relationship is kind of like a Parasitic plant. Ishwari fulfils her need of self-importance from Dev's blind devotion and Dev fulfils his need of companionship from her constant praise and flattery. But they are not part of each other like a family because there is no honesty or familiarity that could make them walk up to each other with any problem they might have without any hesitation. Instead they cling to the idea of family (the solid tree) without knowing what family is really all about.
But when Sona, the other solid tree walked into their lives, Dev let go of the prior ideas of a family and decided to cling to Sona instead. However, that took away the feeding that Ishwari was deriving from Dev to fulfil her self-importance. But instead of talking like a real family, she acted out.
That jarred Dev's previous foundation (the idea of family) and he reacted as Ishwari hoped he would. He again pulled back from Sona and clinged to the idea of the family. However, that idea had gone weak because he has tasted how a real foundation looks and feels like through Sona. So he kept getting weaker and weaker and the weaker he got, he reached out a little more to Sona to grab whatever he can touch even at the fringes of her life to sustain him until next time.
Sona on the other hand herself got weaker trying to feed Dev's issues. She tried to stand tall, but it's impossible to do so alone. So she took help from another solid tree, Ritwik, hoping he can provide her the nutrients to sustain until she is no longer weak.
Ritwik is happy to provide the nutrients but is not willing to cut off his roots to do so. Also, he knows that Sona doesn't need the nutrients he can provide. She needs to create her own nutrients. But since he liked her, he agreed or should I say he gambled.
Today we saw how that gambled paid off.
Moral of the Story: Never ever gamble on being someone's second choice because that never pays off. A second choice is always left to wonder if they would have been chosen if first choice existed. (Check new spoiler and remember this Moral. To be discussed later.)
I also blamed Dev today. So you wanted to see her one last time. Why didn't you then leave after you saw them? Why would you drink alcohol at her engagement party when last time you had alcohol, you destroyed your office then passed out?
When you drank alcohol at Sona's engagement instead of going elsewhere, you already broke your promise to do "nothing wrong".
He knew he can't move on. But his behaviour was a gamble to pull Sona to him one more time and it paid off.
I hadn't blamed Sona before when she decided to get married in haste. But I blamed Sona today.
As I mentioned in my previous post, she could have stopped Dev from coming to her engagement and send a video instead. But she didn't.
May be she was hoping that he will declare his love in spite of his mother's objection and stop her from getting married to someone else. But love made her blind to her family and Ritwik and his family's honour and happiness.
She took a big gamble subconsciously as well which paid off by breaking her engagement but at the cost of her parents' and Ritwik's family's humiliation. She should have taken Asha's suggestion to call off the engagement. It would have saved other the cost of her decision.
When Dev fell down, she could not stop herself to go to Dev. I understand that. But there was no need for her to drop him home. Her brother or Elena could drop Dev home.
But she did exactly what she had told Dev. If he reaches out to her, she won't care about anyone else and go with him. Very admirable behaviour as a lover, very selfish for everyone else in her life.
If her family gets insulted after that, only Sona will be responsible.
She forgot her family when her love came in front of her. Some people will praise her, the same way when they praised Dev when he sacrificed his love for his family because after all a good woman should always choose her life partner before her family and a good man should always choose his family before his life partner.
But in my book, when you cause dishonour and insult to one relationship at the cost of another, you don't deserve either of the relationship.
Today I felt very ashamed of both of them because both behaved selfishly for their love and neither thought about anyone else.
What Sona did to Ritwik is worse than what Dev did to Natasha. At least he broke up his relationship in private. But Sona humiliated Ritwik and his family including her own in public.
I defended her when people were saying that she was making wrong decision and I told everyone that whether right or wrong, it's her decision provided the other person knows everything and agrees.
At the very least, she should have asked Ritwik before inviting Dev. How would she feel if Dev invited Natasha to their engagement without asking her?
As much as the episode was entertaining, I felt utterly ashamed of these two lovers who destroyed other's happiness at the cost of their own issues...
Now let's talk about the new spoiler.
Remember the moral in bold written above?
Dev and Sona will both face the consequences of their action.
Dev will understand that if you decide to make one relationship your plan B subject to plan A, you lose trust of both.
And Sona will realise how it feels to know that should plan A existed with previous conditions, plan B would have never existed.
While I applauded her stand, but can't feel sorry for her having to swallow this bitter pill.
Like Dev, she can't say that she was not given choices to change her decision. But she refused to take them and hence should suffer the same fate as Dev.
The only regret I have is that between these three (Dev, Sona and Ishwari because she is the third wheel in this relationship), they hurt so many people in the process.
