07/07/14: Where's my superhero?

I know there have already been a few reviews on the episode so I'll try to keep this one as brief as possible, but I do have a few things to say so please bear with me.

Firstly, what I least appreciate about Indian television is when a show's creatives realise that the audience is not liking a track so they rush the ending, simply to get it over and done with and start something new. I don't believe that was the case with our CVs as they basically dedicated two episodes to wrapping this all up. In saying that, however, I do believe that there was something lacking in the conclusion of this track, and that was ZaYa's charm.

It makes complete sense for Rehan to expose Zubair in front of everyone, because he is a lawyer and he knows what manner to present the truth in, so that wasn't a problem. What was a problem though was the fact that Zain did not say a single word in defense of Aliya prior to and even after Rehan's entrance, and I wish he had. Aliya has always said that Zain is her superhero and the fact that her superhero just stood there without saying a single word to protect her did break my heart. Even if it was just a sentence, just a phrase supporting his wife, I wish he had said something, anything. Why? Because the essence of Zain and Aliya's relationship has always been that they have never needed another person to play cupid for them. Their relationship has evolved and strengthened because of Zain and Aliya themselves. No matter who supported them prior to it, they themselves climbed the mountains and jumped the hurdles. So, my point is, that although it was logical for Rehan to expose the case to everyone, Zain, Aliya's superhero, should have been the one defending his wife, because he loves Aliya and trusts her inextricably.

I really do hope we get a follow-up ZaYa scene in the next telecast. A proper conversation would be nice, discussing Zain's fear of losing Aliya when she hadn't come home and what exactly he was feeling when Aliya was being accused. I don't think the CVs should leave it up to the audience to interpret Zain's feelings through his expressions. I really do think we need a scene to clarify everything but all we can do is wait and watch.

Moving on to Zubair. Okay, I really do I hate him but what he said before he left; I loved it. Suraiya's character is so disgusting it makes me want to cringe. I know many of us think that if Zubair had said everything perhaps earlier on in the episode then more of the Abdullah family would have believed him, but I feel like the CVs didn't want this because they are trying to build the situation to a point when Zain will feel completely compelled to burst Suraiya's bubble and remind her of the role Aliya plays in his life. Yes, the expression on everyone's face did look like they were doubting Suraiya, which Shazia (ugh, Shazia... but that's another story) confirmed a little later by saying that no one stood up for her. It did irritate me a little that Aliya asked Zubair to apologise to Suraiya, but what filled me with more relief is that Zain didn't say anything in support of his mother... fewf. Otherwise it would seem like all the characters were completely blinded.

So, it all comes down to one question. Where is all this coming from and where has Aliya's superhero really gone? I remember when Usman was in hospital Zain said to him, "Aliya kehethi hai ki main usska superhero hero hoon, par mere hero sirf aap hai." Usman is Zain's ultimate support and shoulder to lean on when everything seems like it is fading away. Usman's absence in the show really does take away something from not only the family, but each and every individual. Usman is the pillar of the Abdullah house, holding it together when times get tough and I seriously cannot wait for him to be back in action. Zain's father is his light which guides him through every layer of darkness and I feel like his return will bring Zain, Aliya's Zain, back in the show.

Don't worry ZaYanatics, our superhero, prince charming Zain Abdlluah, will return. Until then, keep calm and love ZaYa 👍🏼

you've put it all together so beautifully!! 👏I couldn't agree more!

What a post!! I said the same thing in regards to Zain, I'm so glad he did not say a word in support of his mother otherwise that would have looked really bad considering he didn't say anything in regards to Aaliya. It was best to keep him mute at least for this episode but tomorrow I am expecting a proper ZaYa scene. I do not want to see this sweep this under the rug, they need to have a serious talk about this.

As for Zubair, no doubts about it he was bang on in what he said about Suraiya. What mother could do such a thing to her child? Suraiya claims to understand Zain's love and wants his happiness but that could not be further from the truth. Its quite sick the lengths she can go to destroy her son's marriage and the fact her family knows she is capable of it only makes the situation sadder.

What you said about Usman, wow! Apt description of his character and the importance he holds in Zain's life

Am just loving ur aviii 🤣 zain is amazing n aliya as well ... about ur review i don't agree in few stuff but u may seeing it in different POV ... ya he will be back n talk in the right time now he is giving aliya some space to do something i think
come again am adoring ur aviii

First excuse my delay in unres-ing.

Ahh this is perfect and tbh I was thinking the same thing. Everything was perfect but that charm of ZaYa was missing and especially Zain not saying anything in her defence! Tonight better have a super ZaYa scene with our superhero explaining exactly how he felt

I really loved reading this review!

You wrote exactly what i felt in each and every scene!

I really do hope that we get a follow up conversation as well!

This whole thing with Zubair was something really big and I really really want Zaya to have a serious conversation about this! I want them to share their feelings to one another and then put it behind them and move on. But they must talk about it!

And about Usman, that's exactly what I've been feeling too! That we can really see the impact of his absence in the atmosphere of the house and the state of the characters. You can see how each character feels lacking or incomplete without him there! I'm really missing!😭 He really is the pillar of the house and the HEAD of this family! I feel that everything will fall back into place when he will be back on his feet! I really hope he gets better on EID!

I really hope the CVs don't disappoint us on this one!

Once again, wonderful post!😳

Aww, thanks. I really do feel we need a scene with the both of them discussing how they feel. It's not like this whole incident would be something so easy to forget for Aliya because it is about a person she always thought was her friend who betrayed her. I really hope the CVs give us a good ZaYa scene!! Although it would be really moving seeing Usman mamu recover on Eid, it's so far away. And looking at the precap/promo I wonder how Zain will live with his wife and dad both so injured... I guess we can just hope the CVs will manage everything well. :)

The Superhero today remained omnipotent. He was mute all along and let the drama play out by itself. His wife defended herself very well without his need to protect her and there was Rehaan who helped clearing his wife's name.

Zain trusts his wife, no doubt at all. It was obvious the way he remained silent and not speaking out. His wife was not even crying...so there was no need.

Plus by the end of Zubair's revelation, both Zain and Aliya knew that Zubair was speaking truth about Suraiyya. However, why Aliya slapped Zubair was because of his spitting abhorrence of Suraiyya's intentions. Because if Zubair too has to be judged, he was no less evil. Together the husband and wife threw out Zubair, saying they will deal with their family issues by themselves.

So clearly the entire drama was played out for Rehan and Suraiyya confrontation in future.

Why Rehan is needed like this, we are not sure. Perhaps, later on he truly might give shelter to Aliya in the event of divorce/separation is on the cards at a later stage for Zaya.

There is another angle we can add too. The episode clarified that Zubair was not responsible for Usmaan's coma. Then question still remains..who did that to Usmaan?

Is it Suraiyya or Rehaan ?

I agree re Zubair, it was an entirely selfish act. As is said, watching a crime without speaking up against it is a crime in itself... and Zubair did not only know of Suraiya's intentions, he took part in her disgusting deeds. Just because he was not the mind behind the plan, doesn't mean it wasn't his fault. I believe the CVs are going to leave Usman's accident as an accident due to hotel mismanagement rather than create a track about a suspect and rather I think they are going to focus on what Suraiya plans to do with ZaYa's relationship while Usman is not around. I think Rehan's track should end here. He's done his job and revealed the truth... Aliya and Zain should be the ones handling their relationship now and Zain needs to confront Suraiya himself, rather than anyone else because as a viewer I feel that will leave the biggest impact.

It was such a relief. If he spoke defending his mother it would be completely ridiculous seeing he did not speak up for Aliya. I know, I think we're all expecting one because after all that, we kind of need one. Aliya would be heart broken knowing that someone who she considered her friend her whole life betrayed her like this... I would also love too see Zain, even just by himself, pondering over what Zubair said about Suraiya, questioning his mother's intentions and being concerned about Aliya.

Honestly can't wait for Usman to be back! Mamu always seems to be able to set everyone and everything right.
