Kuch bhi nahi hai aage tumhare...

Hi,

I'm new to this forum.

Started watching Beintehaa only a few weeks ago, and I've just been coming by and reading a few of your posts all these days.

Was tempted to post about that lovely Suno na sang-e-marmar scene yesterday.

Zain sitting there, feet propped up, watching mindless TV!! Bliss.

His wife is hovering around - he's surprised. Her folks are here, so how come she's still here, doing "time-pass"?

A sponge bath! Fine! He's still in that cocky frame of mind and offers her some nice buttery popcorn. Aliya, superwoman with super powers of resistance, doesn't even help herself to one tiny piece. And she puts it aside... and leans forward to unstrap the arm sling.

Zain is already blinking at the proximity - Aliya in flesh and blood... warm skin, soft hair, smooth cheek, rosy lips, perfumed breath... all within touching distance... he loses the smile.

Aliya squeezes water out of the damp cloth and runs it neatly, meticulously over his hand, gently over the palm, carefully over the fingers and tips. Again the arm. Then the neck... there was just a lovely quality to the way the actor did this - she was particular, gentle, dignified... a nice economy and deliberation to Preetika's movements.

Zain is losing it - losing out to the concern and care in her every gesture. He is conscious of receiving her unwavering attention... and he is transfixed himself!

She pulls the plaster off his forehead - a small twinge, but he can't resist making a little more out of it. And she falls for it immediately. Contrite that his wound was hurt, she leans up to apologise to it, blow on it sweetly to make amends. He looks up at her, her lips so close... focussed on the wound on his forehead.

Bin tere maddham maddham bhi chal rahi thi dhadkan

Jab se mile tum humein...

Aanchal se tere bandhe...

Dil ud raha hai...

Zain is being wooed, almost. And he falls for it. In this love battle of theirs, he has conceded massive ground today.

aaj se dil pe mere raaj tumhaara...

taj tumhara

She sticks on fresh dressing and leans forward again to cradle his arm in the sling. She's done. She leans back and hands him back the bowl of popcorn - but his hands are unsteady and he takes two attempts to hold the bowl securely. And as she gets up from her task: "Thanks."

Yes, Zain Abdullah saying thanks.

Gratitude. Such a beautiful feeling.

Why does someone do anything for us? Our parents, our siblings, our friends, our significant others, our children, our loved ones? Why do they care? Why do they put themselves out?

Possibly because it makes them happy. Possibly because, with love in their hearts, they cannot do any less.

But to someone on the receiving end, there is inevitably, surprise and tremendous gratitude.

There is nothing is the world as irresistible as love. If someone loves you, without wanting anything from you, sooner or later, you have to give in.

Zain got a small glimpse of that yesterday.

Very well description of the scene!!!

I think Zain has been observant of this unconditional care and affection for quite sometimes now. This started from the moment he got to know how risking her own self-respect Aliya went out-of-way to help Fahad.

Before he could ponder more on it, there was plethora of eventful interruptions.

Thanks to the accident, it gave enough time and reason to refocus his attention on Aliya. Her concern and anguish to catch the culprit confused him. He could not believe or understand it. Even during the soup scene, I felt that he was gauging her reaction on his preference for his mother's soup and to her sarcasm. I never felt that he conveyed any kind of silent apology. It was more of a curious look which was responded by Aliya's smile. He was not expecting her to be so caring and accepting.

And today when she came to attend him inspite of her parents being around, he realized the genuineness of her care and concern ... and so could not stop himself from thanking her. But again her response dazed him. And when she gave the explanation he was back to his self admiration but in a rather cute way which even Aliya would not have minded had not Inspector Thorat interrupted them.

So true!! That day people on the forum said he looked at her in an apologetic sort of way or understanding sort of manner. Whereas I just felt he was looking at her to see her reaction. Nothing else.

He won't be apologizing for hurting her so soon. Consideration aana abhi baaki hai.

As for the main topic, TM, you have described the scene so beautifully! 👏
