What is endearing about ZGH is that spread over the episodes are small threads that are linked to each other. Almost imperceptibly. But, these form the basis of the relationship between the various characters.
I am tempted to try and pick on these as the story progresses.
One: Kashaf's sense of humour
Two: Reason behind Zaroon's decision to get engaged to Asmara
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One such thread is Kashaf's sense of humour.
At their first meeting, Zaroon tells Kashaf that she has to improve her sense of humour and she replies that she could give him the same advice!
Over a year later (before their Library Tiff), hearing Kashaf's replies ("you are easily impressed by girls, na?", "Which girl aren't you impressed by?") Zaroon compliments her on her sense of humour. And Kashaf tells him that he is the first person to appreciate her sense of and that, till now, she has not been able to find her sense of humour,
Not everyone could get Kashaf's sense of humour. Sidra, Kashaf's sister who is as kush-misaaj as Zaroon, understands Kashaf's sense of humour -- the dry humour laced with wit -- even if she doesn't address it as such. For instance, when Sidra tells Kashaf that anyone who conversed with her for a few hours would want to go and drown, Kashaf tells that one would have to travel a distance and that there was no money as it was the end of the month. Sidra understands her sister well enough. It is the result of sibling love and years of living with each other and being each other's sounding board.
Yet, in their verbal sparring spanning a period of a year (and slightly more), Zaroon has understood Kashaf's sense of humour. Completely taken aback at her verbal thrusts and parrys at their first meeting, Zaroon countered it with a suggestion to improve her sense of humour. Over time, he became used to her verbal thrusts and finally understood and appreciated her sense of humour. I don't think that Zaroon's appreciation of her sense of humour was merely a ploy. He had finally understood her sense of humour, although he was almost unerringly its target.
