Week 28 - Moving on...

The dinner date! What was the name of that guy who the Bose family had shortlisted for Sonakshi initially? She went for a dinner date with him but Dev kept calling her as he needed help to cook dinner for his mom... I was only reminded of that as I watched the dinner date between Ritvik and Sonakshi. Dev did not allow it to happen then and he does not want this to happen now. The problem with Dev now is that he is struggling to find a balance to keep himself in control. Therefore, he is unable to play the game of life with grace...he embarrassed himself that night.  The game ended with Dev losing to Ritvik. But the crowd favorite is always Dev. Especially when he expressed his possessiveness for Sona. "YOU ARE MINE". Yes, the biggest truth that night was that Sonakshi loves Dev and only Dev and everything else is the balancing "act" that she is trying to do with her life.

The scene post dinner date in Dev's office was one of the most beautifully made scene. I could write pages about how beautiful this scene was, and still not do enough justice. That night was the night when Sonakshi expressed how deep her love for Dev is and how "moving on" is only an act that she is trying to do for the sake of her family... For a moment, Dev, Sona and all of us relived the good old happy days.. Very emotional scene and very aptly enacted. Dev was finally able to express how exactly he felt after he bluntly said "We need to breakup Sonakshi".  The guilt that was killing him alive finally found some peace..The guilt is at rest now... However the very deep sadness that Dev is experiencing is beyond healing...From the time of their breakup, I have always felt sad for Dev and he made me feel so much more miserable for him as he told Sona how much he loved her and how painful it was for him to see her with someone else.. Sonakshi's promise was the right way to deal with it. Her underplayed emotions were very apt. I cried with them when Dev asked her helplessly "Mujhe nahi bulaoge?..shaayad tumhe wayse dekh khe mein bhi move on kar sakhoon" But inspite of all the high emotions, their conversation was like water on a lotus leaf - rightly so! They had so much to tell, yet could not, so much to apologize for, yet did not, so much to cry about, yet could not... This is for all the said and unsaid things 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 

Talking about "unsaid" - Ishwari was the reason behind the new person in Sonakshi's life and this is hidden from Dev. It was time for the truth to come in front of Dev. I wonder which time period Ishwari lives in? Either she treats Dev as an 8 year old or she behaves like one! It was like an 8 year old trying to cook up a story of where the cookies from the plate went! When you say the truth, you really don't have to remember anything... But she was trying to weave a big story on why she sent the alliance to Sona. Well, lying doesn't come naturally to anyone. So, her body language, her stammering was enough proof. Dev's quiet walking away was the just enough reaction. His face expressed everything that had to be. Once again this is for the unsaid dialogues, Dev 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 

I don't know how necessary for the story was the article about Dev-Sona in the newspaper. But I felt it was necessary for 2 things - 1. To show that Dev was indeed a person with values who will not tolerate a woman being treated like this. 2. For Sona to realize that however nice Ritvik was, she does not feel good if Ritvik criticizes her Dev. And we don't feel good as well. And, why did Dev not talk back to Ritvik as he went on to accuse Dev of the many things he did not and will never do? You should have given him back, Dev and shown him his place. Seriously Ritvik.. did you call him "Ek number ki ghatiyan insaan?" I don't intend to project Ritvik as the bad guy or anything. But I just did not like him shouting at Dev like that - especially as Dev is making a sincere effort to follow all that Sona told him. Its been a whole a week since Dev met Sona, probably the longest since the time they first met.

The week moved on. But surely Dev did not move on. He was clinging on to Sonakshi's bracelet as well as her memories...

As far as Sonakshi is concerned, she surely has a fool-proof plan in place to move on, that is, to get married to Ritvik as soon as possible. However, she is not even close to moving away from Dev even an inch.  Sonakshi's mind is clouded completely with the grief of separation from her beloved. Her inability to move on came through vividly, as she was struggling with everything that day from fitting the bangles in her hand to fitting Ritvik in her mind.

It was sad and hard to see the engagement card in Dev's hands as he struggled to breathe. Blame me for being his fan! Well done for the nth time Shaheer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻  His hesitation and compulsion to ask for permission to attend the engagement was very well done!  Its time for Ishwari to realize that her son is an adult. Its time for her to realize that there are many forms of love not just the love between a mother and son. Its time for her to realize that its  completely appropriate for her son to feel that love for someone. And Its time for her to realize that her son is losing himself in the process of living without his love. It would be best if Dev himself tells her all this. Because only he can say how he feels for Sonakshi.

One of the biggest truth of this week is that, moving on is completely impossible for Dev and Sona. 

The second biggest truth of this week is that Ishwari can never make her son happy enough. She may be successful in making sure no-one comes in-between her and Dev. But Sona's thoughts and the emptiness that she has created in Dev's life are going to linger forever.  The only person to fill that emptiness is Sona herself...

They say Life is like a bicycle..In order to keep the balance, we need to keep moving. There are 2 kinds of people in life - one who can keep this balance and one who are not able to.  The people who are weak and unable to keep this balance tend to fall down. And then at that point in time, comes the mental strength, which is the secret power that God gives for all of us. You will not know your own power until the time you have no other choice but to use it.  Dev and Sona's life is losing the balance and they are struggling to move on...Will they be able to move on in different paths? Or will they experience their secret strength and save their Love? Well, we just have to wait and watch 😄❤️😍
