Exactly. Areeb is not a roadside Romeo. He liked Maheer, sent a proposal, and was going to marry her in a respectable way. Also, he's not a third wheel since Maheer reciprocated his feelings.
I've read several comments criticizing Areeb-Maheer's love because it is just a few weeks old while Saad has loved her for many years. However, in a conservative society, and especially in the middle-class, where dating is not allowed, this is very common that a guy likes a girl after seeing her at a wedding or party and then asks his parents to send a proposal. Even if its just liking, it is called a love marriage that is arranged with the permission of elders. Once, the match is made by the elders and the couple knows that they'll get married in a few days or week, they start seeing each other as their potential life partner and believe that they're in love, even if you don't consider 'love at first sight' love at all. Considering this, Areeb and Maheer's crying for each other makes total sense to me.
