I would like to quote my favourite novel Wuthering Heights here.
“I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.”
Coward is the apt term to describe Hamna. She knows what she wants but doesn't have the guts to take a stand for it. I think she always had a passive rebellious streak but lacked the courage to act on it. The reason why she was drawn to a guy like Hamza is the reason why many sheltered girls are attracted towards the archetypal bad boys.They fall for the charm and unpredictability of these guys. For a girl who leads an otherwise boring and mundane life,I am sure a guy like Hamza would have appeared very appealing and exciting to Hamna.It was only later that she understood that he is a double edged sword.
That being said,their feelings for each other were genuine enough from what I saw. The hurt which Hamza felt at Hamna's betrayal and the way Hamna desperately prayed for him shows that.However the reason why their relationship went wrong was because Hamna couldn't muster the courage to tell her dad about her relationship and take a stand for it.She gave up too easily which led to this mess.
Though Hamza's current actions cannot be justified,it does give a glimpse of his cunning and manipulative mind. Feroze is nailing it as Hamza and such dark/grey characters are what he excels in.
I am rather excited to see Hamza and Roomaisa's equation.Unlike Hamna,Roomaisa is more spunky,sorted out and level headed.I hope Hamza doesn't do some irredeemable stuff in his revenge and falls in love with Roomi.
Now let me come to the Siddiquis and their stupidity. Azeem was the son of their long time family friend. They knew him well and he is well settled. Hamza is a stranger and has no degree but he is good looking and has filthy rich parents so who cares? If they don't find something fishy even after knowing that Hamza is Hamna's college mate then God bless them.
