Mahir: Main tumhara saath nahin chod sakta..
Bela: Kyun? Kyun nahin chod sakte? I mean aap apni priorities badal sakte hain na? Koi majboori nahin hai na...
Mahir: Arre majboori ki baat nahin hai you fool I love you...dil ki baat hai..
I love you Bela..isliye main tumhaare saath zindagi bhar khada rahoonga..andhere mere bhi khada rahoonga. Tumhe aur kisi baat par bharosa ho na ho iss baat par bharosa rakho ki main marte dum tak tumhaare saath hoon.
Like Mahir ji even I felt Bela was being a fool in asking that why can't Mahir leave her? Why can't he change his priorities?
Isn't it a silly question to ask? In the time of need would you just abandon the person you love? That just can't be so.
Either Bela asked that question in the sense that for God's sake Mahir, for your own sake why can't you just leave me?! Why can't you change your priorities?! (Remember once before she even asks him that doesn't he feel like asking her to go away because she always messes up)
OR it was an innocent Bela's dillusioned heart asking for further more reaffirmation that Mahir truly loves her.
Mahir has always been the more expressive of the two. Be it through his words or actions, he has reiterated again and again what Bela means to him. AND YET there's a part of her heart which refuses to believe that someone can truly love the way Mahir loves her. (That could be because of the betrayals she faced at the hands of the very people she once trusted and loved)
That whole scene made me think of certain dailogues from two of my favourite serials.
One from KRPKAB
When Dev tells Sonakshi
"Pyaar haq de deta hai Sonakshi...mera tum par haq hai kyunki main tumse pyaar karta hoon.."
Likewise Mahir tells Bela that majboori ki baat nahin hai you fool I love you...I won't ever leave you because I love you...(Pyaar haq de deta hai Bela 😉 Haq to make the choice to be with the person you love through every thick and thin)
The other dailogue that I got reminded of was from Zindagi Gulzar Hai. When Kashaf writes in her dairy
"..Apne ird gird tumhara ghoomna, mere wajood se na hatnay waali tumhaari gehri bolti nazrein, tumhaari har waqt ki tawajja, tumhara jaan chudknay waala har andaaz.."
Kashaf ain't the very expressive kind either when it comes to love, infact she confesses her love to Zaroon only in the last episode. While she absolutely loves and enjoys all the love & attention that she gets from Zaroon, she also dreads that love would only cause her pain. She fears if Zaroon too would turn out to be the disappointing man that her father was.
Ofcourse Bela is very very different from Kashaf but she's no less in awe of her man ;) She did easily ask that why can't he just leave her or change his priorities but for real Mahir forgetting her is unimaginable/intolerable for her.
PS: I wanted to give this post a better, more conclusive end. My apologies I couldn't do so.
