Any intelligent person will wonder why she didn't go to his wife with the lawyer.
I must not be intelligent, because it makes perfect sense to me. Every minute that Arjun spends in a jail cell, police could torture him, criminals could attack him, his mental health could suffer, the mat could give him lice, the food could give him an ulcer, the mosquitoes could give him malaria, the walls could give him leprosy ... Of course, Manali's focus was on getting the lawyer and the bail money to the police station.
Manali doesn't have Savi's phone number. She doesn't know which courtyard Savi is plastering with cowdung today, or which storekeeper is still willing to let Savi buy on credit. So, instead of making a detour to Rama's shed to check if Savi's at home, or dropping by Bhima Sadan to apprise Krishna'i, Vidyadhar, Priya etc., Manali decided to let Arjun tell them himself that he's all right.
I hope that Vidyadhar is involved with Manali and this track gives a clue to Saavi about his real face.
That's an interesting idea. Vidyadhar could want Arjun to break up with Savi before Savi discovers her birth story. Then Arjun will remain poor and Savi will need comfort from her advisor Vidyadhar.
Who gave Arjun the idea to go to Ākkācī Khānāvaḷa for lunch that day?
