Week 27 - First Love never dies!

Sonakshi was deeply hurt by Ishwari and Maami last week. She could not share that pain with Eleena, because Elena will only get more angry with Sona for giving Ishwari so much of power over her emotions... Her dad and mom will be more hurt, if they come to know about it. She does not have anyone to share that pain, and when Ritvik came in front of her, she cried her heart out to him - about how special her and Dev's relationship was... And thus Ritvik became a good friend of Sona. Ritvik was empathetic and sensitive and even was able to light up her mood. Like I said, Ritvik will be a perfect fit for Sona, if Sona hadn't met Dev before. You cannot rewrite your first love. Its just impossible. 

When we are young, and when we say the wrong things, we can say Sorry and undo our mistakes. Our every mistake is pardoned. When we become adults, our every single word is for real and cannot be taken back. I wish whatever happened between Dev and Sona could be corrected by a Sorry.. or atleast by eating a kilo of green mirchi - I am sure Dev would not mind that if it will "unhurt" Sonakshi. Sonakshi, please realize that he is the person that asked you not to give him the power to hurt you. He is not the kind of guy who wanted to throw you out of his life in a moment. He was helpless at that moment, as his mother was almost in her death bed. Still, what he did was not right - every single word we say as an adult has an impact.

The scene where Dev, unable to sleep and sulking over their breakup was one of the best scenes this week. His act, when he heard his mom enter the room, his uncontrollable tears as his mom pitied him for not knowing how to keep himself happy and his seeking his mother's lap for comfort was all very realistic. This is just one of the many scenes (that I am going to narrate) in which he excelled himself. 

Well, the breakup was initiated by Dev. So, the guilt is killing him alive. Along with guilt comes a desire to justify his mistake or to look for the other person to also join his club of guilt. So, he just hopes to find something wrong in the person that Sona is looking to making her life partner... But, it turns out that Ritvik is as good as "good" can be 😏

From the time we know Dev, we have seen how he cannot live with guilt at all..  I would just like to remind you all of he breaking Sona's cellphone.. he spoiling the sugar free cake..or even when he broke his engagement with Natasha - He first had to do something to ease out his guilt..thats his first priority. That is his character. This mistake he has done now, is by far the worst ever..and can never be justified. He is very well aware of that. And therefore he was literally dying of guilt.

His pursuit of healing takes him to wherever Sona goes..or bringing Sona to wherever he wants to go. Thus, he tricked and brought Sona to the restaurant that they both used to go to.. Sona is strong alright..But not emotionless. Obviously she loved him the same way or more than he loved her. The pain in her voice with which she held his collar and said "Even I loved you!", during the break-up, echoes in my ears even as I write this. Sona stopped and looked at the table the couple used to sit at, just as expected.

But she is genuinely trying to move on. What do you expect Mr.Dev Dixit? That she should sit in that table and cry? Women have been taken for granted for ages. And they are more strong emotionally because their emotions are tested time and again by the very men who say they love her. Alright, I am being a little too women-chauvanistic here. I just want to say, today's women are stronger than yesterday's. They got to be, to take on this male dominated society and Sona trying to move on does not surprise me that much. Her being a little rude with Dev bothers me..because I am a fan of both Dev and Shaheer. Dev, the lover, was every girl's dream..I have see how the girls on social media dreamt of finding their prince charming..who was just like Dev 😍. Not anymore, I guess!!

Sonakshi purposely sat in a different spot and purposely ordered a different kind of coffee. Coffee lovers know the importance of not messing with their cup of coffee..  So, Dev, please don't come to a conclusion about your relationship based on the coffee decision.. Well... having said that, Dev is all over Sonakshi's mind, for sure! Its just impossible for the two to think about anything other than themselves. Right now, they are just torn between, love, family, ego, etc. As the storm in their mind settles down, they will find a way to make this work, I am sure.

Coming back to Dev and the extent to which he can go for keeping his Sona from flying away, can be alarming for some. But, he stalking Sonakshi outside her home, on social media, etc. like an immature teenager, he overhearing Ritvik's conversation like a cheap spy, and then like an underworld Don, cancelling the bank loan and buying the property that Ritvik was going to rent for his clinic... can all be overseen..😄 - because everything is fair in Love ❤️.

But what does Dev want, after all? He broke up their relationship. He was the one who asked Sona to go away. Now why is be disturbing her? Why is he standing in the way of Ritvik's career? Sonakshi's anger in this matter was genuine. And Dev's dilemma was also genuine.

Even though a million butterflies still fly in front of Dev, everytime he sees Sonakshi, the poor guy is unable to express his love for her, which he poured on her in abundance before. Instead, he was just a statue in front of her, completely engulfed by his guilt. The scene where Sonakshi storms into his office again and challenges him that she will marry Ritvik was one of the best again! Shaheer's body language, his voice modulations to show the anger, helplessness, desperation, love- phenomenal acting, once again Mr.Sheikh 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Every time Ritvik and Sonakshi's name come together even I get irritated. So, Dev cannot be blamed for his irritation on that matter. He was trying to tell her that she is rushing getting into another relationship.. He was right. She was digging her own grave. How can a marriage built over compulsion bring happiness?? 💔💔

Trying to move on with life is ok to me. I like strong girls. However, getting into another relationship so soon is not the right thing to do.. Its almost as if Sonakshi was just looking for a place to hide herself. And another person's heart is where Dev cannot come and she just wants to get there soon.  Ishwari being the catalyst in getting Ritvik's alliance materialize has, for once worked in Sona's favor! But what Ishwari did in this case, was the lowest she can stoop down. Or may be more is in store for us...

When Bijoy came to Ishwari niwas and shouted at her, I did not feel even a bit sorry. Whatever Bijoy said was completely true. Dev's love was weak. Ishwari's love was selfish.  I felt happy when Ishwari was told by Bijoy how bad a mother she actually was. I like how Ishwari gets intimidated every time she sees a member of the Bose family! She was totally speechless when Bijoy came the second time to complain to her about Dev's calls to Sonakshi. Bijoy was fully furious, but I honestly, was enjoying it inside when Ishwari's face became sooo small  😄

Although Bijoy was right mostly, I cant agree with him when he said Sona's love is the only pure love. "Pure Love" never gives up... does it? Then why did Sona give up so soon?? Having known the relationship between Dev and Ishwari, why did she not give some time to Dev to think with some peace? Why did she take him so seriously that night.. She could have just quietly walked out that night..and given him sometime to think and call her back..Am I asking for too much? 😏

There is a thin line between being "arrogant" and "assertive".  Sonakshi crossed that fine line this week, which was keeping her so far in the "assertive" zone. The way she challenged Dev, the way she snapped at him the next evening when he came to meet her was all too arrogant. 

But then, just when I came to this conclusion.. I couldn't stop thinking of the innocent and gentle Sonakshi who understood her Dev inside out. Her little conversation with Eleena when she pointed out how Dev has no-one to share his feelings as she was his only friend was so nice to hear.. I wish Dev heard her that night. Dev and Sona lived a fairy tale together..and even had a small Sona and a tiny Mr.Abhodro in their mind. I can only imagine what the poor girl must be going through to take away all those moments from her heart and mind. How much ever she tries, she may never be able to..because "First love never dies".

The creators have very carefully weaved the flashback scenes to make the current breakup track more realistic and more impactful. The bangles scene had such sweet dialogues and was such a treat for all the fans to catch a glimpse of their favorite onscreen jodi.

Dev underwent a lot, emotionally, this week. One day, there was a pinch of happiness and hope in his heart when he found out from Saurav that Sonakshi's engagement was not over yet.. The very next day, he was hurt very deeply by Sonakshi when she challenged him that it will happen very soon.. One day, he saw that Sonakshi was thinking about their special times together, but the very next day he heard her say that he has no place in her heart anymore. And Shaheer as Dev has excelled in every frame of every scene ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One such was the scene post Sonakshi's challenge. Ishwari and Nikki were waiting for Dev to pick them up. But Dev was in shock. He was angry with Sonakshi, angry with himself, disappointed and Dev had no place in his mind for anything else. But, when finally he was reminded by mama ji, he got all guilty and ran to his mom to apologize.. The apologizing was heartfelt..but shorter than all previous times, when he had to... 😊 Along with me, I guess Ishwari also noticed that the apologizing did not linger for a long time..😲  Only difference, I was happy because I was in no mood to see the mom-son bonding that night; but she was not happy 😏😏 Post this incident, the way Dev dwelled upon Sonakshi's words as he held that glass in his hand was just too good. Dev is the kind of guy who gets more hurt than the person he hurts. Mama ji's timely intervention was soothing for Dev, I am sure. Well, I felt relieved that Dev finally had someone to talk to who gave him the good news that "First love never really dies and therefore Sonakshi's love for him is still alive ❤️"

Now that he knows this, he was on a mission to stop Sona from entering into a big commitment.. But Sona was in no mood to listen to Dev anymore. She had closed all the communication channels for Dev after his unreasonable acts towards Ritvik. I must give it to both Shaheer and Erica for their excellent performance. Every time they talk, I can feel the lump in their throat! From Sona's side, her hurry to get into this relationship was too glaring for Ritvik and he really was not comfortable with this. From Dev's side, he getting into Sonakshi's territory was too glaring for Ishwari and finally made her openly tell Dev that "he should not talk to Sona anymore".  Ishwari - he is not your 8year old son anymore! I think she herself is finally realizing how unreasonable she is..(thanks to Bijoy and Sona's pep talk) Her conversation with Dev finally brought out a little bit of the caring mother in her..its too late now, to undo many things...

Well...lets wait and watch how strong this couple's "First love" is ❤️
