Can anyone possibly look better than Hamza Ali Abbasi in a suit? If this is what a gangster looks like, I wouldn’t be surprised if girls start fantasizing about the prospect of marrying one! I don’t know about you but I can totally vouch for the “Pyarey” in the title. Moving on, today’s episode had plenty of emotions- starting with my favorite Molvi Saheb and Ruqaiyyah Begum to the trio of Farah, Lubna and Dr. Sabtain, Yasmeen and the big man himself- our Pyarey Afzal. Dil ka hi toh saara masla hai, doctor saheb– Molvi Saheb’s love for his wife is so pure and unconditional, it moves me to tears. These two were meant to be soul-mates. Ruqaiyyah Begum’s tarapna has taken a toll on her health and she’s confined to her bed for the most part. Molvi Saheb tries to invoke a reaction out of her- beta par lagaakar taraqqi ki aakhri seerhi chargaya hai! But the bond between a mother and son is a special one- it remains unchanged by time or distance; it is understanding of any situation and forgiving of any mistakes. She asks Arifa to invite Farah (woh jo khud tarapti hai to aajaati hai) over- Khoob guzray gi jab mil behthein gay deewaney do!
The realization that she is a lost cause is finally starting to dawn upon Farah- mein abb kisi se shaadi nahin karsakti… Days away from her wedding, Farah’s getting cold feet. She wonders why her parents agreed to the proposal and turns to Lubna for advice. You can count on Lubna to make things even more complicated- not only does she conveniently hint at her being a patient in need of treatment (Mein bhi kisi psychiatrist se shaadi karloun! Mein koi pagal houn kya?), she also arranges a meeting in the absence of her parents! The way Lubna was casually talking over the phone irritated Farah- is Lubna still trying to get Farah to explore and accept her true feelings for Afzal? Who do you think she was talking with? A new character, maybe? Or has she joined forces with the shrink? Sabtain is a man on a mission- he looks dead serious about marrying Farah, but at the moment he’s trying to rid her of her unresolved feelings for Afzal.
Back in Karachi, Yasmeen shares her feelings with Samina- jis tarhan usney phone number badal diya, usi tarhan ek din mera dil bhi badal jayega… Yasmeen is clearly head-over-heels in love with Afzal but she wants him to make the first move. I loved the way she spoke to Saajid- larka agar andar se mard na houn na toh tumhari tarhan kunwaara hi rehna chahiye ussey! This lady knows how to manipulate people into getting what she wants and manages to find her way into Afzal’s home. Afzal tries to scare her away by telling her about the murders he has committed – karooro rupayy hain mere paas lekin jeeney ke liye ek lamhe ki bhi guarentee nahin! Yasmeen continues pressing him into admitting his love for her and he is finally left with no choice but to break her heart and shatter all her dreams. Like I’ve said from the start, Afzal is a one woman kind of guy and if he can’t have Farah, he won’t be with anyone else!
What did you think about today’s episode? Do you feel Afzal was right in speaking his mind? What was your favorite moment? Karachi ka toh pata nahin, magar Afzal ne logon ka dil zaroor fatah karliya hai!
