Let me just say I hated the 'almost slap' bit. I wish they would have shown him anger some other way. I wish they had not shown this. It made me so upset. Ayesha's reaction in that instant was so heartbreaking. I really felt for her.
Besides that, I loved both episodes. For me the two episode were all about progress. There were so many moments. When Basit gives her the money this time, he acknowledges that it hurts her ego...unlike the last time he gave her money. He has realized that. When he finds her reading the letter, he talked to her very calmly without getting mad or raising his voice....unlike the envelop inssue. When Basit brings her back from the interview, he talks to her very calmly. He explains his perspective very well....unlike the time he fired her from his office. That time he was a bit more distant emotionally. What I like is that Ayesha expresses her feelings to Basit....when he hurts her, what hurts her, how she feels restricted in the house. Basit has started to reflect upon these. I think this will continue. I loved the 'ke me pyaar kasrta' (my favourite part of the ost) where he reflects on what she said. This is the second time they played it. Basit's first conversation with qudsiya in ep 13 was so different from the second one. I thought that was another progress. During the first one, he looked like he just wanted to get it over with and he rushed her as well. Lol he didn't even say hello. He simply waited for her to say whatever she wanted. He was polite during the second one. ]The fact that he went there was another progress. There was no way Basit would've gone to that house for Zoya's rishta few episodes back. Even if Ayesha had asked or requested, he would've simply said I am busy. He went without Ayesha asking him. I guess he went because he was guilty for the almost slap and reflecting about Ayesha. He is still working on himself and progressing. In the next episode we will get the cake cutting scene. I thought it would be much later when they are in love because Basit was smiling for the first time in the show. I am assuming that we will see more progress in their relation seeing their smiling faces.
It's so interesting that everyone notices different things/details in the same scene. Did anyone notice Basit called Ayesha 'tum' for the first time. I has always been 'aap' which felt very formal because he called her that even when she was an employee. I am not sure if he will go back to 'aap' or if this is another progress....that he doesn't feel so formal with her.
This was such a lovely post to read... and so much attention to small details😳
Yes, I really agree when you say the double dose episodes showcased some great progress. The tantrum he threw over the one envelope vs the calm way he reacted in the study.... the extremely rude way he fired Ayesha vs sitting down on his knees and explaining to Ayesha why he doesn't want her to work... the change in the way of giving money in the first and second time... his behavior has really changed for the better. It is baby steps sure, but growth for his character.
About Basit being rude to Qudsiya over the phone... I think she has allowed that to happen. The first time he went to their house, he was respectful. Of course, at the time, he was also in extreme need of help. But essentially if you see, Qudisya agreed to the marriage in exchange of money from him. So, I don't think he respects Ayesha's mother too much because he knows her greed. Add to this his general distaste for mothers given his own past - and he just really doesn't like to deal with his mom-in-law😆 Tabhi I was so surprised when he said to Ayesha "amma ko bulau" in the car. It was a sweet moment.
I am also of the view that Qudisya has wholeheartedly accepted Basit as not a son-in-law but her son. So, she keeps making unfair demands from him like she is used to making from her daughters. Isse bolte hai apnapan...no formality in her mind😆
He better behave good and respectfully with Bano. I want them to bond and he should ask her sister for tips to manao Ayesha
