Take 5: Top 5 countdown for May 23rd

Some of you were wondering how I came in for a take 5 for the full week ... As many know, I am currently in leave in India for personal reasons ... I got pulled into a project at work but now that was pushed back ... So I am staying around as long as I can ... I felt today's episode definitely needed a take 5.

The spirit of this Take 5 is to try to celebrate something in every episode ... Because I definitely try not to watch a show to put me in a bad mood. Yesterday, we were all in dreamland to see Jodha-Jalal's love and there were three cute interactions between Jodha-Jalal today ...

Suddenly, Jalal leaves the jashn to see Ruqaiyya and is thrilled to be a father and caring about Ruqs and everything seemed to have gone South in the forum. Suddenly, does it mean his love is not true? Does it mean he only loved Jodha for a child? Does it mean that he really didn't want to spend his anniversary with Jodha?

Ofcourse not, he never escapes from his responsibility and his love for Jodha is different and his care for Ruq's is different, even if hakim had come with the info that Ruq's is not well, he would have rushed to see her, and here he got the news of he becoming a father, so no complains

Is the love of Jodha-Jalal so weak that it will not survive Ruq's (fake) pregnancy? No. But, we will need patience to see it through and I know it ain't pleasant to see.

Jalal will be broke😭

Of course, any one in Jodha's position would be hurt ... She has every right to be hurt and cry. However, If an anniversary was the happiest day for Jodha, then becoming a father was the happiest news Jalal could ever want. If it is only natural for Jodha to be hurt, it is only natural for Jalal to be extremely happy.

Jodha was upset, but if a Jalal is becoming a father, then she should be happy for him, she knows what this news means to him

This track could have been about Jodha and Ruqs accepting each other's roles in Jalal's life but it looks like the CVs took the easier way out by breaking the Ruqaiyya and Jalal relationship completely as I truly believe it is a fake pregnancy and I will describe a few hints below.

So, here is my take 5 today:

(1) Jalal asking why Jodha is upset at him ... I liked it for three reasons:

- Jalal's perceptive enough to realize that Jodha is smiling at everyone but him

- I was glad Jalal continued to hold his stand that Shehnaaz could hurt someone unintentionally even while trying to appease Jodha

- Hamida Bano conveniently catching them with they spoke of children

(2) The game of finding the "magic eyes" in the milk bowl ... No surprises our Jodi plays a game they should have played at their wedding a year later ... Except I had never heard the twist that it was to get a duaa and not who would have an upper hand in the relationship ... But, perhaps everyone knew the outcome of that one 😆

But, anyways, of course my favorite moment was the hand hold!

(3) The precap scene was even cuter seeing it in full ... I loved how Teda Jalal got Jodha to come near him by saying he would tell his words of love to everyone ...

Of course, love Jodha's dupatta for supporting Jalal's shararat.

The whole interaction was cute ... But I also loved Jodha's blush at the end, showi that all was well after her bit of annoyance over Shehnaaz.

And then we had the news of Ruqs explode like a bomb and our happiness exploded just like Jodha's ... But two rays of hope still for me:

(4) Jodha's reaction to the pregnancy news and Jalal's interaction with Ruq's : No, I am not a sadist who love's Jodha's tears but I couldn't help compare it with Jodha's reaction to when Ruq's first became pregnant ... Then she was also smiles, telling Moti that one should be happy for everyone who becomes a Mom even if it was her sauten. But now, it was her love for Jalal that she was filled with sadness by the very same news.

I was actually the CVs showed this scene ... As it was very un-Jodha like. She never intruded on the personal space of Jalal-Ruqs and surprised me by doing so today ... If anything, I think it was to show today how much Jalal's love and attention meant to her and I am glad she is not withholding her feelings now and I hope this signifies the start of a new Jodha who asserts her right on Jalal instead of giving it up to others.

(5) Why I think it is a fake pregnancy

- Ruq's maniacal shouting yesterday

- Her wanting to talk to the Hakim Sahiba alone without anyone else

- She did not have the same pride and happiness on her face of becoming MUZ that she had the last time

- Jalal double-triple checking saying this is a "sanjeeda maamla" and is she sure?

Hence, I foresee that Jalal's extreme happiness will turn into extreme sadness. I do not blame him for not doubting Ruq's due to his extreme happiness but he did seem doubtful a few times that hints the truth will be uncovered soon.

I know folks are probably not in a mood to be cheered up ... But your likes and comments really help me keep going.
