"You," he said, "are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world, and that, I believe, is why you are in so much pain."

She wants him to open up to her ...give her access to his heart, his world...she knows he can say 'koi fadaq nahin padta' but he does care...she has seen the depth of his care...now she wants to share his life,share his burden, share his highs, lows and everything in between. She wants to co-ordinate with him, be by him in every stride he takes ...as his wife...as his other half.
He still is reeling from the burden of the discovery of her 'betrayal'...his past still clouding his mind..all her action feels like mocking his love, him. He wants to break loose...not of the relationship...but from the clutches of his own feelings for her...Wants to tell his heart...that she doesn't matter to him...as he did not matter to her.
She comes home to accompany him to the biggest night of his career...only to find he didn't wait for her. He had done this before...but now Ishita is different, so is her expectation from the relationship. She cannot be nonchalant anymore to his actions.
He arrives at the party alone...his eyes seeking someone. His mind wants him to look ahead...but his heart makes him glance back...seeking the center of his attention...the other half of his soul: his wife.
Notes:
I look for little moments in an episode, and that little scene of Ishita lovingly cradling him with all her love, hoping to ease the burden he's carrying in heart. Just touched me. Rest of the episode was a blur. So don't know whether I made any sense in what I wrote. Couldn't find a quote to fit😳
