A killer of a week!

You know what? I loved this weeks episodes. The saaz scenes were fantastically executed - well done to the whole HS team!

-Apology scene
This was a tremendously powerful scene and a lot was communicated here. He told her:
1) I care for you deeply
The choice of words - I want to apologise for every tear that I have caused. How deep was that? He conveyed a strong message of caring for her deeply.
2) I respect you
He spoke about her background and how well she had done in her work. These are in fact the foundations of why he started admiring her in the first place. Telling someone you respect them is one if the most heart moving things you can communicate.
3) I am protective of you
He didn't need to mention Sarfaraz and got himself into a pickle after he did. But he couldn't help but tell her that he won't let anyone hurt her.

Through his excellently worded apology, Sahir has taken their relationship to the next level. You know, most relationships grow organically. There doesn't need to be a confession upfront. Feelings grow and develop quietly, unseen to you until something happens which makes you start questioning your reactions to each other. Then realisation comes.

So Aarzoo senses the proximity Sahir is showing and also wants to move in the same direction. She asks him the question that is killing her. Why is my Sahir sir so sad? She asks, but he isn't ready to answer yet. Both are correct in their question and response. If Sahir has the right to find out about her past, she also has. But the difference is Sahir revealing his secret has a direct impact on their relationship. There is no way Aarzoo can guess this.
Then we have a heated argument. Aarzoo is fighting for her rights here. She also wants to show the same authority over him which he shows over her. She also wants to take that next step with him. They depart miserable, hurting each other deeply and certainly no longer on talking terms. This is where Aarzoo and Sahir leave it with each other.

- The jealousy track
So here's a critical point- This track creates a disconnect between our leads. Aarzoo's equation with Sahir remains as it was post apology. He cares for her, respects her, trusts her and will protect her, but he is not ready to share his own issues with her. Sahirs however changes. He sees a series of events which rattles his faith in Aarzoo. He can't talk to her about it as they aren't on talking terms and because of his insecurities of the past, so the disconnect grows.

- KA accusations
So at this point, Sahir has seen so much with his own eyes, he cannot justify defending Arzoo. He needs a small confirmation from her and then he is more than ready to jump into the ring. But unfortunately this doesn't happen. Aarzoo doesn't know that he has been a distant observer of her and Zaki and its created doubts in his mind.

- The heated explanations
So this has got to be the best scene of the week, if not for a while. I just loved it!!! These guys are really opening up to each other and challenging each other's actions.
So as our leads enter this dialogue, they are on completely different wave lengths. Sahir thinks that all evidence shows she has feelings for Zaki and is pregnant but his heart simply can't believe this and wants some kind if confirmation from Aarzoo. Aarzoo on the other hand is still at post apology stage, she has no clue of the emotional turmoil he has gone through today.

Sahir begins with examples from her past. He is clearly telling her, this was the woman I respected. where were you today?

Aarzoo gets irritated. Why is he doubting her? She clearly tells him this.
- why do u think u can ask me these questions?
- why do u think you can hold me like this?
- who am I to you?
- if I am nothing, why all this pain in your eyes.
She is not being rhetorical. She is genuinely asking him these questions. His face change is perfect, from fiery to emotional. Her questions are perfect (if they were both post apology but as I said one is, one isn't ). Note she tells him that she sees that he is in pain over all this. But that's actually irritating her even more. If he cares so much, why isn't he letting her come close to him.
The final point she makes,you should be able to see the truth in my eyes. What's she's telling him is surely our relationship isn't that weak that u cannot see that there is no way I could have done this?
The final point which killed him was - I never expected you to doubt me, you are just like the rest! "Omg" is what Sahir was thinking! This convo was about me losing trust in her, but she's actually telling me she has lost trust in me!!! His face just drops! He never even thought about it from this angle.
He then calmly explains to her why a verbal explanation is necessary. He is totally right but misses out on telling her about what he has seen between her and Zaki, that's actually why she needs to talk. Last time, when he defended her, although she had actually gone into Zaki's room, as Sahir hadn't seen anything he totally backed her. But the reason this time is different for him because of all he has seen and heard.
Aarzoo is actually ok with what he is saying up until the point he says "eyes can hide betrayal". That's it for her. He doesn't trust her. And she gives him a great response that there is no point giving any explanation and leaves. But not before a beautiful exchange of looks between each other. This was truly beautiful. Both were showing so much feeling for each other. They were both asking each other to listen to their heart on the other. They were both saying "I need you to understand me"

So in summary, I feel from their perspectives, both are correct. Issue is they have both don't have insight into the others thoughts.

Now Aarzoo had actually given away her thoughts which we see Sahir thinking about today. But then the whole Rehman tamasha, Zaki was vague on why he didn't want to marry Samaira making Sahir go back to his original frame of mind and then he had bigger issues to deal with.

Looking at the pre-cap we can see Sahir overhearing. This can go two ways, either the misunderstanding is going to deepen. Or he will confront Zaki and get the truth. Aarzoo may also shock us and decide that things have got so bad that she needs to speak to Sahir. But I think Zaki seems most likely to spill the beans.

We were also shown a further moosibut for Sahir. Rehman has a video. Aarzoo would flip if she found out! No idea how he will get out of this one without some help!

Things are getting so tense my head is spinning!! Ab kya hoga???

Wahi hoga, jo mazur-e-khuda hoga 😉

Lovely lines on the whole week's highlights ..👏

Wow VD I love the way you are able to pick up every subtle and in the face emotions that our protagonists display. You analyse their state of mind so beautifully, its like you are in their heads and know what they are thinking all the time and especially while reacting to each other.

you summed that up beautifully.. the entire confrontation in yesterday's episode was basically between 2 people who are yearning for each other's trust more than anything else.. on one side sahir's like "WHY DON"T YOU TRUST ME ENOUGH TO TELL ME THE TRUTH" and on the other hand arzoo is about " WHY DON"T YOU TRUST ME ENOUGH THAT I"M DOING THE RIGHT THING"

It has been a roller coaster ride this week with some beautiful SAAz scenes and then some ugly ones with KA and big lips. As a woman I completely empathize with Arzoo, its very painful to be in love with someone, knowing that the one you love more than life itself, doesn't care two hoots about you. Words have a power to hurt, just the way he tells her that one needs to say things coz eyes can lie, she also needs to hear sometime that she matters to him instead of being asked to leave and to stay away from him all the time.

I think this is where the Cvs are leading us to eventually. Only something big will shake them out of their self induced bull headedness to acknowledge their love for each other and to each other. Sahir especially needs a jolt to accept that he has fallen in love again, and though it makes him vulnerable, its ok, unless you open your heart, how will love find its way in ?

The writers should take a bow for creating a story that keeps us riveted all the time, We love them, hate them, get vexed with them , but we can never ignore our humsafars ! What intrigues me is that its played out more like a mystery adventure where every day you are made to wonder about the next day's episode. Nothing is as it looks, nothing plays out the way it is supposed to be, the Cvs manage to surprise us everytime.

For example I was surprised when Sahir refused to get blackmailed, he was very categorical that that the deal could wait but he wouldn't force his brother into a marriage of convenience. I thought he would do anything for the deal , but our Sahir Azeem Choudhary is a true diamond, he shines really bright. He will not feed his brother to the wolves, even at the cost of losing his dream. Any other guy knowing that that the woman he cares for carries his brother's child, would have hated her, he yet again endears us to him by running to help her with the heavy carton.

VD, they only panned the camera on Sahir while the trio were talking, I don;t think he overheard anything. Its too early in the day for Sahir to know the truth, its going to be a series of incidents that will reveal all slowly. I have a feeling that the factory clip with Rahman will definitely play its part in the future episodes, Arzoo has always hated the man who burnt the factory down, and once she finds out there is going to be hell to pay. Zaki may tell about his new found love to Sahir once he finds out that Samaira isnt pregnant with his child. Alvira might tell sahir what she knows about Arzoo, once she sees things getting out of hand. N we may yet again get a beautiful SAAZ scene with our Sahir being a sorrybaaz again.

We don;t know what the Cvs have in store for us, but I do hope that they will continue to intrigue and charm us with their fabulously gripping storyline.The more I see this soap, the more it reminds me of the old worldly stories of charming romances, ball room dances with masks, deceptions,villainsand mysterious women .Where the hero isn't black or white but comes ininterestingshades of grey. All I can say is bring it on, I am totally loving it😊

Hi-lovely response. You are correct, the cvs really do keep up guessing. The jealousy (even though Zaki is his brother) also an example of unconventional behaviour.
I saw the pre cap again and yes may be he didn't hear but hoping its fishy enough that he can extract some answers from Zaki. Ideally Aarzoo, knowing now that Sahir is being blackmailed should go and tell him the truth but I am not sure that will happen sadly.

Perfectly summed up - it's all about unconditional trust from both sides.

Thank you. I needed this expression. I was feeling it, but didn't know how to clearly express it. Well done.

Whole week summary...Awesome write up...and it was bangon...loved to the core...😊😊
