Round and round in circles we go, clutching at successes we never grasp, endlessly tripping over the same old failures. Truly, life is the misery we endure between disappointments… yet another episode that managed to throw me off track. Afzal’s promise (Zabaan deta houn- mangni karoun ga tumse toh shaadi bhi tum hi se karoun ga) coupled with Farah’s inquisitiveness led Yasmeen to reconsider the proposal. Why, you ask? Your guess is as good as mine! After last week’s rejection, I was glad the writer had taken the route to show a self-assured and confident woman who wouldn’t settle as someone’s backup option but all that changed in a jiffy with a simple “Yes”. It makes you wonder- where are we going with all this?
As if that wasn’t disappointing enough, Sabtain, who showed some hints of ghairat last week went back to being beghairat– bloody psychiatrist! So suddenly, he has realized that Farah should wear the anghoti jo usney mangaitar samaid wapas kardi thi… Kal Molvi SubhanAllah aapko anghoti pehnayein gei… If any of you are still confused, shoes are the new expression of love! No matter what size they come in! Is it a mere coincidence that Sabtain happens to bring along shoes that fit Lubna instead of Farah? Tum mera chora hua kya kya pehno gi? I’m most surprized at Lubna- this girl refuses to flinch despite the constant flow of venom targeted at her. Woh jo moun se laga tha, lahu nahin tha, kalak thi…
Molvi Sahab made his way to Arifa’s room- adab ki jaga as he puts it. This man never ceases to amaze me- jo aap per meherbaani na karein unki saza yeh hi hai ke aap unpe meherbaani karein… Arifa refuses to give up the anghoti jo usney nishaani ke taur pe rakhi hai… As Farah has rightly guessed, ussey waqfay waqfay se badley lene ke daurey parte hein… What better revenge than watching Farah suffer in silence? Just as everything else she does without thinking of the consequences, Farah decides to call Arifa and enlighten her about Afzal’s mangni– a decision she thinks he took to counter-attack her. The handsome bacha has managed to get her pretty worked up.
What do you make of today’s episode? I’ve lost track of second-guessing myself but everything seems to be pointing towards a Farah-Afzal union. Or is this just my wishful thinking?
