She's not special. He does this overly concerned thing with everyone - Ruhi, Rohit, dadi, vidya , etc etc. He isn't confiding in Abhira and if he does, its not exclusive. He cried in front of Abhira in that blanket when Rohit was missing but then he also confides in Ruhi. So he is doing this whole "friends" game with both women.
There has been a character growth in Armaan. He isn't the same impulsive Armaan as before. The deal marriage was the last thing he confided in Ruhi with. Otherwise he hasn't really dwelved into much details of Abhira's life. AbhiMaan have slowly bonded over their grief. Him losing his brother resonated with Abhira hard. She knew the pain of losing a loved one. Armaan too has begun to understand her more. I like this progression. Dekha jaye toh Ruhi ke saath there is no emotional intimacy. Their scenes have only theme Ruhi in pain because of him and him getting guilt tripped. Ek understanding hai AbhiMaan mein. For eg he didn't feel bad when Abhira didn't get any gift for him and Abhira too didn't guilt trip him because she knew the circumstances. However that kind of understanding is missing between Ruhi and Armaan.
I do agree he isn't confiding in Abhira. The major reason is he is scared. He cherishes his friendship with Abhira. He somewhere scared that she might not understand him if he were to confide in her. Moreover, if the truth were to be out he fears boycott by his family whom he loves dearly. For him nothing matters more than family.
But that is slowly changing. He is standing up for Abhira. He feared Abhira being ousted by Dadisa and took the blame of Ruhi leaving Poddar house upon himself. He was ready to give up his seat at the dining for Abhira.
Having said that him not confiding in Abhira about Ruhi is going to bite him back hard. Abhira had given him enough chances already. He will lose trust in Abhira's eyes. That will be the day his redemption arc will begin.
