I have to give it to Samira Fazal for writing such a good script. I enjoyed this particular episode the most because there was a twist in the story which I had been awaiting, the episode was fast paced which was the plus point. Ishal’s father has successfully snatched Araiz’s job, he plants Araiz’s colleague to do the needful. Poor Araiz is jobless now.
The episode starts with Ishal at the hospital since she suffers second degree burns after accidentally dropping freshly fried pakore (I think?) on her wrist while arguing with her husband. As always Ishal’s father overreacted and started blaming Araiz for Ishal’s burns because according to him, Araiz and his family have deliberately hurt his daughter. All this while, Ishal has behaved very maturely, after her father’s order for her to not go back to her sasural, she didn’t budge and still went ahead. Thankfully, Araiz didn’t budge either when he was stopped by the security guard from entering the house. Iva’s intellectual level may be quite low but she did the right thing by allowing Araiz inside the house. Rehbar seems to be killing two birds with one stone. He has to settle scores with his father-in-law so in some way or the other he IS using Ishal, having said that I am agreeing to the fact that he understands Ishal’s position, that how wrong her father has been with her and her husband.
The best scene from the entire episode has to be the one where Ishal is in a conversation with Sunny, who was sent with fruits, medicines etc by Ishal’s father for Ishal and she tells him that her in-laws are taking very good care of her whereas the sadness in her eyes was evident. I liked it when Amma understood her responsibility and knew she had to take care of Ishal but alas! Her useless daughter Soni had to interrupt and mess up things but I still hope Amma takes care of Ishal.
Coming back to Araiz losing his job, Ishal’s father is doing exactly the same thing he did with Rehbar. The reason for Araiz’s termination would most likely not get him another job and he would have no other option but to join Ishal’s father’s business and become his puppet like he did with Rehbar who is now adamant on teaching him a lesson. I do think Ishal and Araiz’s marriage is going suffer badly because of all this, since Araiz has always been a khuddar guy and it will be VERY VERY difficult for him to leave his family and move in to his sasural with Ishal. Honestly, I did not think Ishal’s father would go to this extent so soon, but then I shouldn’t have forgotten what he did with Rehbar. He doesn’t realise that Rehbar and Araiz are two completely different individuals with different personalities. I am awaiting more plot twists hence cannot wait for the next episode.
Ahsan Khan, Mehwish Hayat, Aly Khan, Javed Sheikh were good in the episode, Sana Askari really needs to step up her game, she usually has the same expressions on her face, I understand she doesn’t have much to do except bhadakao-ing her mother against her bhabhi and roaming around the house with food in her hand lol.
