@Spartan187, beautiful writing. Loved everything you wrote. Nothing more to add. You are absolutely right about that diary being his confidante at this point. With each passing day as Aru is seeing him for what he is from her filmy imagination Mukhiji will also realize the girl in the diary he admired is none other than his wife.
First indication of that merge was when they both recite that kavita which he dismissed, second one he saw Aru falling from sofa in her sleep then after he put the mattress by the sofa he was waiting for her to fall as he was reading it (I'm not a native hindi speaker so I must have missed the dialogs altogether) and him arranging the dinner after reading the diary. And her journey also started from you cute to how good you are. Its a slow realization and that's the beauty of this story.
