why do i feel that..

I feel a Zaki-Arzoo nigah coming on the way! I feel after Saahir confesses that he has indeed played Arzoo. Arzoo might agree to marry Zaki out of pure spite for Saahir. I would not want this to happen as Arzoo will also be leading Zaki on when she actually doesnt have feelings for him. I would like her to leave that house and let those two brothers to fight the ego battle but it seems like the CVs needed a nigah and its on the way. Will it be Zaki-Arzoo or Saahir- Arzoo is the question? I feel Saahir is capable of blackmail and the same way he emotionally blackmailed Zaki to marry Samaira he might blackmail Arzoo into marrying him and complete his deal.

All of this u stated would have fit in ... if we didn't have the egg scene ... if it was about wanting arzoo to himself ... why would he risk her life? Risking his own life is fine but when in love risking her doesn't make sense, even if it was a calculated risk and he knew nothing will happen

I completely agree, but then again we saw how much Sahir regretted and stared at her with disappointment in himself.

Any story is guided by a conflict between a character's Outer Want and Inner Need.

Leaving guttery thoughts aside 😊:

Sahir outwardly Wants the deal to fulfill some promise we don't know about (Something huge at stake).
Sahir inwardly Needs love in his life because seems not to have had any for a long time, and has been hurt in some way by his wife.

(Arzoo outwardly Wants to make a career for herself
Arzoo inwardly Needs love in her life because she's been betrayed by the only man in her life, her father.)

So the story is usually divided into two (unequal) parts:

The first (longer) part, when the Want will be stronger than the Need.
The second (shorter) part , when the Need becomes so strong, that the Want becomes insignificant.

In between, will be the Point of Epiphany/Climax-- when the character realizes that it is this inward, spiritual need that matters.

In a finely balanced story, the Want drives the story to a huge moment of epiphany, where the stakes are revealed (What is Zeenat's history..etc?), and the stakes are huge enough that the reader can forgive the excesses the character has gone to, driven by this Want, and can cheer him/ her on towards following the Need.

So, unless the audience knows the Stakes, it is hard to judge the character on his/her deeds.

Once this climax is reached, the story comes to an end. So, if Sahir realizes that his inner, spiritual Need is what matters, the story won't go on for very long after that.

So, right now, driven by his outward want, his ego, Sahir would continue to drive the story. He would do all he can to get this deal, but something along the way would come along-- losing Arzoo and figuring out how much her love meant, for instance, which would remind him of his Need, and its importance. That process has already started, with the unexpected blessing of Arzoo's love.

If the audience knows the stakes, it is usually easier to empathise with the character...so perhaps the stakes should be revealed to us now, if not to Arzoo.

But if Sahir becomes too overcome in love too soon, the story would wind up all too soon.

I have a feeling the CVs are saving up the Stakes in order to reveal the for a tremendous moment of epiphany, not just for us, but also for Sahir-- so that he then changes drive from Want to Need.

My two cents.😊
