Well , I get your point. But Sonarika's stance is there for a reason. Plus not to forget , Sonarika always had that submissive side in her. She became the strong and confident woman she is because of Hemant. And the evidence is there in the sex scenes , when you read Vikram and Sonarika in their passionate moments , most times Vikram is dominating her , and Sonarika likes it. But when it comes to Hemant and Sonarika , there is a passage of control between them , sometimes its Sonarika who initiates and has fun with Hemant, while sometimes its Hemant. But Sonarika always had one frustration with Hemant , he always held back. But Vikram didn't , which is why her physical relation with Vikram felt more connecting as Vikram was willing to show his true self to her , while Hemant didn't. And thus their physical acts formed a deeper connection between them , but this also resulted in Sonarika loosing some of her own identity of a confident and strong woman she was. In a way , her relationship with Vikram is also a downgrade as she is also becoming her true self and not improving herself.
And even now I still say Yes , she still has some love for Hemant. If she didn't love Hemant , she wouldn't initiate sex with him and actually enjoy it , yes she feels guilty and pain , but deep down she is always grateful and in debt to Hemant for fixing her life. In a way it was goodbye sex but if she didn't love him , she wouldn't have been physical with him. The arc right now is just Sonarika accepting her sins which is why we didn't see her reasoning. This will indeed happen soon and we will see Sonarika to finally come clean. As for the house twist , he made it clear he was planning that as a surprise like many couplle does , the problem was he was too late for that. Hemant only wanted time to give Sonarika a life full of love and togetherness and he was this close. But he was unaware that Sonarika had drifted away in the sea of her pleasures. He only revealed it now because he wanted the divorce proceedings to go clean without another issue. Its not negligence in Hemant's matter , the problem was that Sonarika wanted more from Hemant , but he only gave her a promise for a wholesome future. But sadly , that future took its time coming and Sonarika faltered in her path unaware and now in regret realizing that future was just a cusp away. The dream house they envisioned together is now a relic of a shattered dream.
As for his switch in character , that is basically the result of Hemant's trust being broken. He trusted Sonarika blindly , never expected her of all people to cheat on him. This not only killed the innocence and kindness in him , but also broke his own perspective , making him realize that this ten years worth of starting over was a mistake. As for the "husband being hailed" well I took this narration for a fresh approach rather than portray the husband as the "loser" in the story and have the wife being gifted reward after reward. Its like Hemant said in the chapter itself , he inadvertadly will end up the looser in their separation story as Sonarika is only going to gain while Hemant will loose everything. Just think it in a general perspective , if divorce happens right now. Sonarika will move away , start a new life with Vikram , he will make her a part of his empire, make her quit TANISHQ and be part of his family business. She goes from a COM of a company to someone who leads a business empire. While Hemant will loose his time with Karan , completely loose his relation to Anjali , live in a house that no longer is part of a family dream he once had , leaving himself in his own chaos of unfinished business and trauma for the rest of his life.
On paper this can happen too. Regardless , both of them are loosing something at this point. Just the grieving process will be different than other stories.
All opinions are welcome , including yours RCF , appreciate your read
