Adultery Love Sex And War : Age Of Darkness

I get your point and it makes sense. Yes Sonarika's relation with Vikram wasn't entirely based on her medical condition, somewhere she did find attraction with him. But at the same time we must also acknowledge that despite that affair , she didn't close her heart or emotions to Hemant. She even confessed she loves both of them at moments , but she never stated she loved Vikram or confessed her love to him. Here is where her complexity is drawn. Yes , she seeked Vikram because he was giving her the thrills and spark that she missed with Hemant. Keep in mind that their marriage wasn't always stale as they had very physical explosions in their early times of marriage. Vikram just happened to fill that void that Hemant left as their marriage went stale. She never said she wasn't satisfied with Hemant , even in his struggling form he managed to give her orgasms. But she definitely missed the Hemant who could do the "fireworks" like he did in their early years of marriage.


But once she discovered her condition , her "desirable man" and the man she craves was all gone , because at that moment she saw Hemant was always her true love because he was her life's real savior as he came in the right time to save her from her descend. The realization also showed her , her own mistakes , the kind of hurt she unkowningly committed on Hemant. And from that moment , her heart and mind only has one man. But at the same time , she also understood the truth that Hemant will never accept her considering the extent of her betrayal. Even now she is suffering but she accepts the fact that she deserves it , because she did betray a man like Hemant who had only loved her and kept her in a high pedestal. Sonarika's journey right now is finding herself being worthy of that love.

The key part is Sonarika's dreams. During the affair days , she saw Vikram as her "Desirable" man. But everytime she confessed her "love" for him in the dream , she immediately sees Hemant dying or being killed by her which traumatises her. But ever since she found out about her illness , she no longer has Vikram in her dreams , no longer craves for that "Desirable" man. She only dreams Hemant and their moments together. Even while visiting Goa  , she reminisced her trip with Hemant to that place long back. Even in the slumber party , Hemant came in her dreams. In many ways , Sonarika has changed because she is slowly connecting to the woman that was meant to be. And her future arc is just that , her ambitions and her liking for plants and greenery forging a Sonarika who values faith , perseverence and resolve. This is her time of growth while accepting her mistakes. She only has love for one man in her life now , but she also accepts that he may never take her back in his life. For now , her focus will always be on Karan , to be the mother he needs.


Sonarika's arc is now all about making peace with her choices and evolve to be the woman she was meant to be. She also has a war of her own with an enemy she hasn't fully recognized yet and win it. Whether she ends up with Hemant or someone else , she will eventually find peace and atone for her sins and live her life!
