SPM~ MyMusings~ 22.5.19 Unwrap the gift
It's all to do with undoing, exposing the outer covering of some token of love. The same as raising the curtain to bring the truth before the public. Of recent Kainat felt that the ice between her and Saltanat was beginning to thaw. She felt some support coming from Saltanat's side. However the exchange of views between Saltanat and Neelam is quite a slap! on Kainat’s face.For her, Saltanat’s shell of showing well being for her is just a farce. That perhaps needs to be exposed before all. The real face of Saltanat needed to be unmasked before the public. Undo the parcel as it were.
Kainat is already, clearly deeply disturbed at the way fate has suddenly turned adverse towards her. Even despite her devotion and prayer, the gift of Zaroon! her hearts desire is denied to her. Kainat’s spirit flaps with anxiety. She wants arelease for her for pent up rage. It comes as no surprise when she looks for two people in particular to vent upon. The two who sabotaged her engagement. Kaina tunderstands one to be Saltanat. The other a man both cousins love.. lover boy Zaroon.
On the face of it both appear as a gift, wrapped in an eye-catching wrapping paoer. An excitement exists, that flows both from the giver to the one who receives.But we see that after the gift from Saltanat is presented to Kainat and Humza . Kainat just refuses to accept it. As the contents of the gift is far from something Kainat wants and expects to cherish. It unmasks Saltanat as an imposter who poses to be Kainat’s sister, acts as her support. But really Kainat uses all in her power to bring out Saltanat’s real face before all. Shows The side that plotted and schemed to create hurdles in her engagement.
The sad bit of the episode is that what Saltanat did, she did in good faith. But it! is made visible by Kainat as an act which smells of conspiracy .Rather than an act of sacrifice ! where Saltanat actually forgoes and forfeits her true love for Zaroon , to create an opportunity for Kainat to be available for Zaroon,rather than be tied down with Humza. But as the real intention is gift wrapped no one gets to appreciate Saltanat ‘s sincere intent.
Kainat does the honours, and what a slap in the face it is for Saltanat ! where her whole purpose is misconstrued. The fault lay in the secretive, underhand manner in which she carried out the plot. Duping roles, and rather stupidly leaving sufficient evidence behind to expose herself before the entire family,both guests and hosts!
Mind you for Kainat too. it is sheer luck that she stumbles across a meaty piece of conversation which is enough to uncover the conspirators.
In her bitterness , Kainat was expected to unleash her fury. Not only does she expose Saltanat but she goes far to disclose that Zaroon too was in on the whole seedy game. Zaroon with his usual smiles, plays dumb ! acts normal and wishes the newly engaged couple. But when Saltanat bids the couple well. Kainat strikes the blow ! All with the facts, the phone calls, which Humza confirms to have received from Kainat , imploring him to reject the engagement other wise she will give up her life! Turns out to be Saltanat posing as Kainat! Saltanat does not have a leg to stand on!
This then is Kainat’s way of giving Saltanat a mild warning and punishment. That she too can play games. Here she might be seen to play a nasty cruel game of unwrapping her cousin’s real purpose. But the facts and evidence that Kainat unclothes are all true. Humza as a witness stamps on their authenticity ! while Kainat sneeringly presses charges against Saltanat.
Saltanat’s position in this whole scenario of meaning well for Kainat is subject to suspicion. After all she has her own vested interest in Zaroon .
This unfortunate, grossly misunderstood predicament of Saltanat robs her of any benefit of doubt as well. The shame is as she cries to her father, she did no wrong! Which is partly true. But the slap dash manner, in which she carried out her crusade for Kainat is what gets her condemned eventually. The credit for getting her slapped before all by Mainjaan goes to Kainat, for the way she presented her case! At the right time!
Goes without saying that Saltanat meant well, but other agencies like Zainab who has her own agenda , also intervened and made Saltanat take desperate measures to stop Kainat from getting engaged to Humza. Her failure lies in pursing haste, still I don’t hold being slap dash against Saltanat . As time was the issue, it was slipping! So she had to act!
Zaroon gives a roped entrapped in an unwanted marriage Kainat !an evil smile.The one that a fowler gives to a helpless prey!!
However by the end, Zaroon’s smile vanishes and is gets replaced with a furrow, what a piece of advise he gives Kainat where she can show value for Sultanat’s love,the sacrifice she gave, for her. Will this piece of advise, make Zaroon happy by being civil to Saltanat.Just like Zaroon does give attention to Kainat just to make Saltanat happy ?
One rather valuable gift unwrapped Is the gift of the two daughters of the Shah family .Saltanat gets negative publicity that earns her a slap! Kainat continues to be there, all eyes remain on her. She is the girl who remains between Zaroon and Saltanat as a unchanging. Constant.
I feel that one other issue that stands out between these Shah daughters in this episode is that one is seen to be too overexposed. Whilst the other has always been underexposed. Both Kainat and Saltanat surprise each other. Saltanat the overexposed, suddenly takes second position by the underexposed Kainat. Thus ,gradually in time we shall see, both give and take the best out of each other.
Zaroon and Humza, standout as the sons,who cause least amount of anxiety to the family in comparison to the daughters, Saltanat ,Kainat . 23,5.19
Interesting episode, that in a nut shell, out lines how people behave in various scenarios.
