This is my imaginary scenario for RumZa reunion at the end. No rotten tomatoes or eggs please 😆 Azeem exposes Hamza,Rumi ditches him.Idiot realises his feelings and sheds tears of blood but Rumi refuses to take him back. He goes into his possessive mode and pines for her and she still refuses. Eventually she sends him divorce papers. After some time,he decides to leave the country.Just before boarding his flight he gets the news that she is getting engaged to someone else. He rushes to her house and finds in sitting in her room looking beautiful. His heart breaks upon realising how much he loves her and what he has lost.
Rumi : Why are you here Hamza?
Hamza : You....look beautiful.
Rumi : Why are you here Hamza?
Hamza : I just....wanted to see you. For one last time.
Rumi: Really? How do I know that you're not here to stop the engagement? Which girl are you planning to marry now to get revenge on me?
Hamza : Please don't say this Rumi. I've apologised countless times. To Hamna. To Azeem. To you.
Rumi : Is an apology ever enough? Hamna betrayed you and you decided to betray every single relation you had because of it.Do you even understand what your parents went through after discovering this? They stricken with guilt even though it was none of their fault. And what about me? What was my fault amidst all this?
Hamza : After I came to know about your sister's marriage,my mind had stopped working altogether. All I could feel was unadulterated rage. After I gained consciousness after my accident,I realised I had got a second chance at life.A part of me thanked God for it and wanted to move on from all the pain and anguish.I contemplated forgetting Hamna and starting my life afresh.But there was another voice in my mind which wasn't prepared to let all of this be over yet. It wanted to make Hamna pay for all the emotional carnage she caused me. And it was that voice which led me to your father's doorstep that day asking for your hand. Now when I look back,I realise that it was just my fragile and wounded ego which wasn't ready to accept defeat.
Rumi : So just because of your ego,you embarked on this dangerous and unforeseen path and ended up playing with several lives in the process. Hamza,do you realise that you could have avoided all this misery? You could have still gotten your revenge on Hamna but in a different way. You could have moved on in your life,found someone else and been happy with her eventually making her regret about what she lost by not fighting for you.
Hamza : I don't regret it though.
Rumi : You don't regret it?
Hamza : I regret tormenting Hamna and putting her through all that undue stress after our marriage. I regret lying to my parents and deceiving you. But I don't regret getting married to you Rumi. Like it or not but you changed my life for the better. The Hamza whom I had kept suppressed within out of anger was able to emerge only in your presence.I cherish every single moment I spent with you. You inspired and influenced me and I kept denying it.Somewhere deep down,I wanted to become worthy of you.And even though I realised this only after it was too late and you had left me,I had fallen in love with you.It was something which I had never experienced before. Not even with Hamna. And maybe that was when I understood that love doesn't seek to claim ownership over someone.Rather it is about becoming the best version of yourself in the company of the one person who is dear to you. And that's what you are for me Rumaisa.
Rumi : So you aren't here to stop my engagement?
Hamza : I would be lying if I say that I don't feel like doing so. I feel like thrashing that man even though I don't know who he is and make it clear before everyone that you're mine. But that's not the Hamza Rumi fell in love with. As much as it pains me to imagine a world where you aren't my my side,it would hurt me more to imagine you not being yourself even if you were to be with me. I saw how lifeless and broken you were after discovering about my treachery and that sight still haunts me. I never want to see you like that again Rumi.You deserve all the happiness in the world and if it is with someone else then I am willing to walk away from your life. You trusted your father's choice last time and ended up getting hurt because of it. But you're wise and you know what's best for you. I just wanted to let you know that I belong to you but you belong to yourself. I assure you that you'll never hear from me again after this.
Rumi (sighs) : It's such a pity. You turned out to be so boring Hamza.
Hamza (is baffled) : What do you mean?
Rumi : I mean that I expected you to come barging in here and proclaiming your love like some clichéd Bollywood hero but you had to take the higher road this time.
Hamza : So all of this.....is an act?
Rumi : Yes you idiot!! I had forgiven you long back but I still wanted to make sure our relationship was worth salvaging or not.
Hamza : Does that mean you forgive me?
Rumi : I admit at first I was furious at you to such an extent that I wanted nothing to do with you.Even though I was advised to get back with you for the sake of our child,I couldn't do it because it would have been unfair to all three of us. But eventually I realised that I was deeply in love with you as well. However there were still some apprehensions which remained and without clearing them I couldn't give you another chance for mere love isn't enough to sustain a relationship.You may not have acted like a clichéd protagonist tortured in love but you certainly did prove why you are the man I should be with. If this is what Rumi's Hamza is then he has to be with Rumi and no one else. If I give our relationship another shot then do you promise that you won't blow it up?
Hamza : I promise. I promise you won't regret this. Henceforth I shall devote every moment of my existence to you and our child. But please never leave me again.
Rumi : All right. There is no need to get cheesy now.
*RumZa hug each. Later when they are driving back home*
Hamza : Well I must say that you all are damn good actors. I was totally fooled.
Rumi : Thank Azeem Bhai for this. It was all his idea.
Hamza : There is a lot I have to thank him for and apologise as well.
Rumi : Don't worry. He is family and there is a lifetime to make amends.
Hamza : By the way,who was playing your fake fianceé?
Rumi : Oh it's that Principal's son. That guy had a lot a huge crush on me before our marriage so he agreed to help.
Hamza : So you're saying that he was flirting with my wife?! Looks like I need to have a word or two with him personally.
Rumi : Chill!! Whatever happened to that matured and sensible Hamza who was there a few minutes ago? Anyway how are everyone at the house? I miss Uncle,Aunty and Zoya.
Hamza : They missed you as well. And I forgot to tell you something. Alishba stayed over for a couple of days so don't be surprised if you see her there.
Rumi : *raised eyebrows*
~ The End......Of Alishba maybe? ~
