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.
Areeb is a creep,the way he was kissing bracelet was creepy as hell,then in the very first episode the way he was staring even made me uncomfortable watching that and he was following her everywhere in the function,those traits are not really endearing to watch.Its another thing that Mahi didnt mind because tbh her character as i said hasnt been given any relevance in the show yet,a spineless senseless nonsense character it is.He took her number from Anabia,didnt even message first to ask if he could call and directly called her and once again Mahi was ok with it,which made me dislike her character a bit more. The marriage,the mother didnt even bother to stay even for a moment after seeing Mahi,which was an insult,any sensible girl in Mahi's place would have called off that relation then and there.Because his mom insulted the whole family by doing so.And Areeb was saying he would make Mahi just like them after marriage,which actually says a lot about his love or whatever.I wouldnt have a problem with Areeb had the execution being done in a much better manner,yes love at first sight happens but it depends on the execution totally.And Zaviyar is lacking infront of Wahaj Hania,if there was some good actor in his place then i think i would have atleast felt for him,he was given a prolonged scene in the last epi with a breakdown to showcase and i had to skip in the midway because i couldnt take it.
