Leaving aside all the psychological morass of Sahir and Arzoo's emotions and motivations, and who is more affected, I was really struck by the way Zara and Myrah spoke to Arzoo today, and the lesson that she learnt about the materialism and inherent cruelty of the world we live in.
(Psst... Is this Arzoo's post marriage look- having her head covered?)
P.S. I want Arzoo's 'revenge' to be directed mostly at Nausheen, Zara and Myrah. I want her to kick their a**** and boot them out of Niyamat House!😃 Especially a scene where Zara comes to seek Arzoo's help and Arzoo calmly turns her down⭐️
Sahir urged Arzoo to leave her kitabi duniya and enter into the real world where money and influence matters over anything else, changing your friends into foes and vice-versa. Perhaps he is a tad too pessimistic, but his assessment of people's motives, and his understanding of how they tick is not far from the truth. 😳
The only part where I disagreed with him was the example he gave- that even a baby cries and gurgles only so that it can get something from its mother. That he attributed something insidious to an innocent baby shows how disillusioned he is with the world, and perhaps how far he must have been deceived by Zeenat😭 Otherwise, say what you will, the guy is spot on in his understanding of the world. 👏
Poor Arzoo realized the hard way in today's episode that perhaps Sahir was spouting some very uncomfortable home truths, courtesy her own sisters. The words they spoke to her was probably the "unkindest cut" of all. You could see the reality sinking in at the precise moment when Myrah chided Arzoo for not marrying Zaki and making their lives easier. I was wondering, why didn't Myrah say the same to Zara who has the money, yet refuses to part with it?😡 The CV's have been on a rampage with some of the characters, and sadly even the lovable Myrah was not spared today. Suffice to say that both Sahir and Arzoo have the worst families in the history of mankind, and they must run away to the other end of the earth for them to have even an iota of peace in their lives🥱
In any case, Arzoo's education is complete. The naive, idealistic Arzoo is a far cry from the hardened and pragmatic Arzoo the writers have in store for us, which is what the spoilers suggest. The spoilers also add that Sahir will be immensely troubled by her changed demeanour.
I don't know about you all, but I feel this is perhaps the perfect track to delineate that they are humsafars in the true sense of the term.😳 At this point, Sahir and Arzoo have become mirror images of each other- betrayed in love, disillusioned, and alienated even from their families. It'd be a treat in particular to see how Sahir handles this new Arzoo, because the man has always admired her for her optimism and idealistic notions, and the whiff of positivity that she brought in his life.
Perhaps a role reversal of sorts will be on- the ruthless Arzoo who will resemble Sahir, and a softened Sahir trying to come to terms with this Arzoo who is a shadow of her former self, while trying his darnedest to reach out to her😳 That he has closely observed her metamorphosis and feels partly responsible for it will make him determined to get through to her and heal her--- and in the process, heal himself, I suppose!
Because we have seen that whenever one of the soulmates is meandering and adrift, the other one always tries to heal and comfort them in their own way. Case in point- when Arzoo alone knows about the gashes on his back and puts the ointment on his skin, or the multiple occasions where she has gauged the endless pain his eyes😳
The new montage has this spot on- a determined and cold Arzoo staring into the distance, her back turned, as a troubled and perplexed Sahir intensely gazes at her. Glad to see the montage having the humsafars only, the previous montage diluted the essence of the show😉-
In any case, I am waiting to see what Arzoo will do to get her 'revenge' and how Sahir tackles her from now on. The man has oodles of patience as far as she is concerned, so I am sure that his persistence will pay off when it comes to his begum😆
The real question is- I am ready for this safar with our humsafars. Are you???😃
