regarding the gray area, I didn't mean to say that Basit's faults should be excused but just that when such separations happen and if not handled properly, it can seriously affect the child, no matter what the reasons were in particular. Our stories do tend to romanticise toxic males and throw up some childhood trauma as an excuse to justify all that toxicity. In this case, as I had said, Basit's forgiving his parents will make him come out of that bitterness that has enveloped him. It did not matter whose fault it was, Sadia's or Salman's. Basit did suffer for it but he too has to realise his parents were human. But of course, we all want to know what had happened. Why Salman and Sadia, who both seemed such decent people, could not make their marriage work.
One thing I feel about Sadia is that she did not find happiness in her other relationship either. Had she found a loving partner who truly understood her, she would not have told Ayesha that men only want happiness from their women. That they don't keep tally of their sadness.
That scene made me feel that even with her second husband, Sadia had remained unloved or did not find what she had left her marriage with Salman for. Especially one area where Sadia might have felt especially lonely in her second marriage must have been her feelings for Basit. She must have missed him at the same time as her second husband might have wanted her to focus on him and their relationship. He might have been careless about the sadness she felt for not having her son with her. Who knows...
Thank you so much for telling me about the song!! Loved it! In fact, we need a VM on Basit set to that song now. And that is really what I was talking about too. The peace that will come to Basit when he begins to think of his parents not as Mumma or Baba but as individuals who made mistakes because they were human.
