Appu and Ross... I agree with you. Sameer's frame of mind is not one of joy... he is deeply depressed, scarred and scared that if he goes near Mundit or Naina he will lose them...
From the time he came back, he has seen them a few times, but has always stayed hidden... He is happy to see them from afar, yet is dejected that he has to remain hidden from them...
Today, he did his best to mislead them... he thought they were gone, he was missing them the moment they left... even feeling guilty of lying to them. But he didn't realize they had caught him...
So initially it was shock... he then had a sad smile on his face... very blah kind, not reaching his eyes...and he also had tears run down his face when he saw them... when they hugged him he reciprocated... The moment they mentioned Naina and her conviction that he was here, he closed up... Them calling her as 'bhabhi' probably hurt him, because he knew that would not happen now... not when he was keeping away from her forever... he knew he was sacrificing her to keep her safe... again twisted logic, but fear is irrational... and makes one act in the craziest of ways.
He realized he had just spoken to his friends/ brothers again when he had swore he would not... and they would tell Naina... so his mind started working once again and he made them promise... but when they left, even he was hurt because he knew he had hurt and disappointed them... yet his fear is so great that he didn't stop them or listen to their demands of meeting Naina.
Next came the college encounter... seeing Naina was sudden. While she was ecstatic, he was shell shocked... this is not what he ever wanted to happen. He was at a loss, not knowing how to deal with it... so he ran, knowing very well that she was following... when he crossed the road his concern for her made him turn back, and he was right... because Naina was blindly following him, so he rushed to save her from near accident... and I feel him flinging her on the road was instinctive... he could not stop his motion and she fell. He could not even see her hurt...
Unfortunately it again reinforced his warped theory that he was the cause of harm for his loved ones... actually it was sad seeing him that way, running away to hide his tears... but everyone saw him... I'm glad they did. They know how much he is hurting himself as well...
He needs to be loved, and be happy... ever since Nanu, he has had one blow after another that has eroded his confidence, and ability to be positive. But that line about his mother was telling... Vishaka sent him for his own peace of mind and he is thinking his being away is what will fully cure Vishaka... now she also needs to talk to him and explain he was wrong... hope Vishaka somehow finds out what Sameer is thinking.
