A few words for the Adi-Imlie convo today in the back of that car....no idea when Adi managed to cook up that whole surprise with balloons, flowers and what not😆......but what made the scene was the quintessential Adi-Imlieness of it.
Imlie is touched when she sees that he got the sketch of their marriage framed....he added so many embellishments to the surprise with the balloons, flowers, teddy bears around it.....yet all Imlie really noticed and reacted to was that picture frame. Still Imlie being Imlie, she asked him why he did all this....and he calmly replied that he wanted to talk to her, that is why he did all this.....Then in what actually felt like a more Adi-type touch, he held out a glass of chai for Imlie so that they can both sit and chat aaram se😆.
LOL@ Imlie kicking things off with a "waise toh aap koi bhi baat lathh maar ke bol dete hain, toh aaj yeh gubbaare, phool ki zaroorat kaise pad gayi"😆.....it's bits like these that save their convos from any cheesiness.
Adi cutting to the chase and wanting to talk to her about how she saw him and Malini....telling her that she can trust him and there is nothing between him and Malini anymore jiska Imlie se parda ho....nothing is hidden from her....lol I found this back and forth interesting....they kept it real enough that Imlie is indeed affected by what she saw even if she was trying to downplay it and guilt-tripping over how she should have knocked....and Adi now knows her well enough that she will never admit she was feeling bad so he told her to cut off that nautanki too....lol
This conversation essentially was in the usual vein of honesty between them....Adi told her the absolute truth as he knows and feels it in this moment....that there is nothing between him and Malini anymore that he would feel the need to hide from Imlie.....he felt a need to clarify to Imlie because he wants her to trust him despite the shock of the visual she saw.....he confessed that he has realized what he felt for Malini all this time wasn't love.....usually love brings joy and happiness but in his life it has just brought questions that he is struggling to answer. I also liked that we got a throwback to one of my fav. lines from Imlie...."Agar rishte pe vishwaas ho, toh woh rishta hai....warna woh sirf dhaaga hai"....Adi repeated this back to Imlie and added on today that "yeh dhaaga kabhi nahin toot sakta....humein is rishte par vishwaas ho gaya hai". He again reiterated to Imlie that she is his first wife - not a dhaaga, zimmedaari, farz.
I found it interesting that Adi initiated this conversation needing to reassure Imlie that she can trust him but she as usual turned the issue on its head and told him she doesn't want any proof of loyalty/wafaadaari from him.....again - a stark contrast from all the proofs of loyalty Malini constantly demanded and is still demanding from him.
Anyways, this was just part 1 of the conversation today.....part 2 will happen tomorrow so I'll render full judgement then about what exactly will come out of this conversation.
For now, I liked the poignancy of the bits we got today. Remarkable that even now without directly confessing their love to each other, they can freely discuss their emotions as love....especially Adi can. Imlie won't allow him to tell her he loves her, so he did the next best thing....told her he loves their rishta😆
