The Fathers .....................
Karim
This man has no right to find fault in others when he couldn't take care of his own children. If he deserted his daughter when she needed him the most......... what can you say about his character? Maine kitne minnate ki lekin aapne ek na suni ....... was Saba's comment. That one sentence spoke volumes. He has lost his daughter the second time now. She clearly tells him she doesn't need him anymore........and quite rightly so.
He is also repenting his thoughtless actions and is suffering. But he has found a scapegoat. He blasts Arfeen and his absent father. Aap logon ne meri beti ka....... blah blah blah. Arre bhaiyya itni phikar thi toh aaye kyu nahi tab jab beti minnate kar rahi thi? He cooly washed his hands off the "Saba affair". People like Pontius Pilate can never sleep in peace for turning a blind eye to a grave problem. Blame yrself Mr Ostrich not yr brother or his son. What a hypocrite!
And Arfeen is apologising to him for himself and his egotitstical parents.
Arfeen's father .......... what is his name?
He looked a bit unhinged as if he had lost it. Forget about her (Shakila), she's nearing her end. But please forgive me ........ he goes on like a broken record. If you watch closely, you will notice Arfeen's expression. Its full of disbelief and despair. He even asks he father whether they will ever realise how much they have affected and destroyed his life and his chance for happiness. It's in the past begs the father but yr forgiveness is the present. He begins to weep and yet Arfeen finds it in him to take pity, show compassion and hug his father. The man who has taken away the joy of of living from his own son..............
Treatment of the fathers by their respective children
Saba remains detached from her father and distances herself from her him. Forgiveness is not that easy for her obviously. She is more accusing inher silence. She decides to make a clean break from her family.
Arfeen remains in close proximity with his parents though they have ruined his life. They have spoilt his prestige and his image in the eyes of everyone who knows their story. He bears the brunt of hate, scorn and ridicule from all the characters in the serial except Haider..... as of now. The viewers themselves cannot forgive him. Yet I feel he is the most compassionate of all the people in the story. Haider is sweet because of Arfeen not despite him.
