For Rehaan- Seher's...and Sanam's ...and Aahil's

"No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they'd die for."
Martin Luther King Jr.

The tears have not dried. But one tries to come to terms with tragedy- it is a part of life.

He has not been buried yet... .. but there are sides taken already.

Wasn't there a Rehaan beyond the Sehaan? The love story was the sweetest part of his journey...but there was more to Rehaan.

Beyond a friend...and a son...

It was what he gave his life for...Love for a brother and a mentor he looked up to- whom he silently supported ...Always.

I had forgotten this. The day it was clear that Rehaan was Tanveer's son, I had anticipated drama in the form of a son turning a sacrificial lamb for his brother...He'd give his brother his life. Then walked in Sunehri and a love story, and the basic intention of the writer had been swept under...A beautiful walk...And he strode on proudly into the sunset- avenging a brother who had been wronged by his mother.

Al Vida, Ammi...A nail has been struck in Tanveer's coffin. The world might accuse that a love story was murdered...But Tanveer's loss is bigger than anyone else's. She paid too high a price this time. When it is time for her to bid goodbye to this world, whose face would she remember with regret?- Asad's? Zoya's? The Nawab's?...All their deaths have been avenged by Rehaan's act...and it has only compounded on her sinfulness.

A mother protects her son with her own life...Tanveer would have too...Rehaan Imran Qureshi MOCKED HER IN HER FACE with that final goodbye. Checkmate! Guess who won this battle between mother and son; Good and Evil?

Rehaan lived a short, but meaningful life and walked into eternal heaven. Tanveer finds her whole life empty...Nothing in the world can make up for a son taken away...Nothing! No amount of revenge can fill the emptiness she feels...Seher, Sanam and Aahil- the trio she wants to punish are richer for having known Rehaan. Tanveer will never have the pleasure of having known or understood this noble character who was born of her blood...He was the mirror that showed her the error of her ways...and she destroyed that precious mirror... He would live on in the minds of the lives he touched...and never grace the living corpse that is Tanveer...She has lost more than she knows...

And SHE HAS SIMPLY LOST.

It is not a revenge by AsYa's daughters...they wouldn't have to taint their hands with her blood...

Tanveer has finally opened the doors to the purgatory... she stands at the steps..All it needs is a push from behind...and she'd be swallowed up by the darkness.

Beautiful post, and a fitting tribute to Rehan, one of our favorite characters of QH2, and QH as a whole. A well written, well executed character that was consistent to the very end. He was steadfast in his rejection of his Mother's plans! He always made his stand clear. Being a dutiful son, he kept her confidence, but tried in whatever way he could to salvage things in Aahil's life. In the end he gave his own life to save Aahil, and avenged him. He redeemed himself for ever concealing the truth from him. He died a Hero. Still visualizing that scene is very painful, when he says "Khuda Hafiz Ammi" and falls into that pond. Very painful.

But you are right. That was his final declaration of war on his Mother's intentions. His final act of defiance against her. He died to pay for her sins, and he died to bring about her destruction. I really hope that Aahil finds out what she did, or else his death would be in vain. How I loved that boy and I will miss him.

He was a pure soul and proof that a Lily can be born in Mud. He also proved the saying "Only the Good die young", which I remember SRK saying in an interview reacting to Divya Bharati's death, which I saw years later on YouTube. He was honestly so gracious in his tribute to her.

Rehan...you were a wonderful guy and the people that loved you will always cherish your memory. I wonder if you have left something behind in this world as you leave? (The night he spent with Seher, I feel may have resulted in more than just romance and passion). So if there is a small Rehan going to come into this world, then he or she will surely miss having a Father like you.

More than anything, Rehan will be remembered for his quiet strength and the love he had for those he cared for. His awful Mother, who was always a burden on his conscience. His brother who he loved and respected. Sanam his first crush and close friend, Seher his true love. His bittersweet love story with Seher aka Suneheri will be his enduring legacy to this story. But how I wish he had been able to get the happiness he so deserved in life. But it is true that sometimes the sins of the parents visit their children! Rehan was a prime example of that! Alvida Rehan. You will be sorely missed!

Rehaan's death is by insensitive writers and loss is for sensitive viewers.

What all unsaid was truth but saddest part is tanu is still the same. Yes she is regretting for shooting rehan but even at his funeral she is blaming ahil for rehans death forgetting that if she didn't have pointed the gun to ahil then rehan would have been alive. She is blaming sase for rehans death. I agree she was instigated by Sanu 4 this. But always she was like this. Remember what explanation she gave for asya's death? That asad was her beinteeha mohabath & zoya spoiled her life by marrying him forgetting that she never loved asad she wanted to marry him only for money & status. So my point is rehans death have became a waste. Tanveer has only became more evil than regretting & loathing herself for murdering her own son from her hands. I understand the reason y cvs created rehans death but the way they executed it his death has become a waste.
