Hi Fierce Lioness,

I would like to start out with showering you with love for responding so cool and lovely.
Sometimes, written words can be misunderstood in intention and that is most likely not what I want.

So, cool that we are all cool! Here, some love for you:

❤️ ❤️❤️ 🤗 🤗 🤗

Just to avoid long long texts, I have removed the rest in your quote.

You mentioned you like discussing the series with lovely people. Well.. You are in good luck!
Here I am 😆

I agree with you. End goal is Ayet! How their journey will be remains to be seen of course, but I hope it is beautiful and one we will always remember.

The way I see it now, is that we are shown a love story, close to reality, where we write and direct our own stories. Just like we take a wrong turn, messing up more and more at times but still, have no bad intentions. Sometimes you get in a situation in which an event or an action keeps getting worse and worse.

From Ayesha's point of view, she does not want to destroy her marriage. She wants to restore her reputation in his eyes.. Get back the respect that she deserves. It is all that she has.. It is all that she came with.. Without it, there cannot be a marriage.. They would be merely housemates..

She has told lies and held back the truth. Yes, I also believe this was not the most wise thing to do. But I can understand her.. Like Basit, she is no Saint.. In her mind, she is convinced that whatever happens, Basit should not know the truth.. If he finds out, with his background experiences, it will influence his view on her and her family (of only women). Although she lies, she does give big importance to values, self respect. She lies, because she wants to stay in Basit's life and she cares for his opinion about her.

Maybe I have to watch the last 2 episodes again or it could be the language at times, that I am missing something, but the conversation between Fahad and his mom, Fahad and Ayesha, Ayesha and Bano

I found these to be quite natural conversations. There was a sudden escalation between friends and husband-wife. Whatever happened was never the intention. On top of that, aside from the white lies, they are both innocent. They have not done anything bad but are being accused of ultimate betrayal in such relationships.

As viewers, we see all the wrong turns the characters make, and we have clear preferences. In general we tend to side with the underdog. In this case Basit, The Broken One. But his sudden explosion was not OK.. these are not just 2 people who you feel have turned on you and betrayed you.. Not only Ayesha had the chance to see improvements and efforts of Basit. I think this is also the other way around. And that he does not know Ayesha, fine.. But Fahad...? Years of friendship and brotherhood even. A guy who has always been there for him. To accuse him within seconds, without proof but only with assumptions and some truths not adding up. That it would make him suspicious, OK.. But go directly to slapping and accusing.. No..

But all fine.. It is now part of their journey and development..

When I try to put myself in Ayesha's place, I would not have lied, but after such character assassination, I would give Basit the cold shoulder. If I step in the shoes of Fahad, and I would be slapped and thrown out and accused like that, I would say worse things than he said to his mom. Love of course does not vanish just like that.. But I would be pissed at Basit! very offensive!

Basit and Ayesha had a deeper connection after they had the talk regarding Sadia Aunty and how to deal with the unresolved feelings. If this thing with Zoya had not happened, they would have been closer by now. or perhaps not.. perhaps Basit just does not want to share his Fahad with his Ayesha and the other way around..

In that same conversation with Bano, it is also Ayesha who says Basit has given me everything. She is not unhappy being with him in house. But she is also not happy. She craves a simple happy life. To be loved and desired by him. Her husband. She takes her wedding values/promise seriously. Just like Basit does.

That Basit is suffering in the way that he does, is not what she sees. She does not know yet, that he too is bound to her. Used to her presence. And the other way around.. If only Basit could see how helpless and empty Ayesha is feeling.. When he came to drop the phone off, he came by not only to confront her but also to check and see if she is celebrating or if she is just as miserable without him as he is without her. When he did look at her, he really looked at her. She looked very confused..

Perhaps I am repeating myself, but I do not believe that Ayesha has not sensed the differences in him.. she has.. for example: breakfast time, conversations, emotional breakdown, he does listen to her advises, flowers.. There was progress for both.. But, he jumped to conclusions quite rapidly.. and exploded..

Your question/remark:

If a girl who doesn't live with him can see the changes but not the girl for whom he is changing himself...

What if we change it to:

If a guy who has lived for some months with a girl, who have left her whole life behind, gave up her ambition to work, trying to create a place in his life and in his house, is having a good connection with his mom and his best friend and is trying to find out more about him via these two people...Should that not give him a clear message, especially about her character?

What thought(s) come to mind for you then?

Awww lots of love to you 🤗

You are a lovely person without a single thought❤️

I absolutely love your take on gifs posted here, and hv a good laugh 😆

I agree with you that they both are normal ppl.. who made mistakes, like we do.. and both can rectify them... I too hope their journey to love will be memorable for us to cherish 🤞

I don't want a dragged , frustrating story with happy ending in last episode...

Absolutely agree on your point Ayesha wanting her self respect... she has every right to without compromising on it... that's why I everytime say basit needs to apologize for his behavior...

As for Ayesha wanting to stay in this marriage, I don't know for now I see this marriage just a burden for her .. not that now basit has accused her nd she is angry but even before that too we could see basit trying to break the ice but she is just shutting herself from him completely(though can't blame her for that). Her actions made sense knowing how basit behaved in initial days of marriage.. but now in this MU I am just not able to understand her reasoning... just like basit she has her own insecurities/assumptions and she is acting upon them only where she feels she is right in everything and has done no wrong... here I feel disconnected with ayesha... I guess I can blame writers for not writing her character properly... she contradicts her own behaviour... in one situation she reacts to things differently when other's are involved but in same situation when it comes to her, she wants to be trusted/understood on her intentions nd not on her actions... lemme take few examples... I already talked about zoya incident, so not going to repeat it. When jawad started gossip about her nd basit, she immediately took decision that she will not stay till late as she doesn't want any rumors about her character.. but now when basit is doubting her with valid reason, least she can do is put stop on her secret meetings/calls with fahad for sometime, till she clears the air. So you see same situation but ayesha reacts to them on her own convenience. She was innocent in both scenarios but her approach is different... same she did with zoya nd basit too.. she wants her family respect and their weak things hidden under the wrap but when it came to basit, her outburst at sadia's funeral was insensitive move. Not for a once she followed the same rule for basit and made sure to make him guilty about his actions.. she didn't spare him public humiliation that too when he was at his weakest.

As much I love Ayet nd ayesha too as character but I guess writer failed to give depth to her character. Nd more than one occasions she come across as self-righteous and for her only she is right or a victim in every situation...

Where we need lots of improvement in basit nd him making peace with his past and coming out of his insecurities, we need to see a proper character development for Ayesha too... that can only happen when they'll show her realizing her mistakes too, working on them and of course leaving past her inferiority complex. Like basit has trust issues with women, ayesha has complex about her being. She feels low of her self nd assumes basit does the same.

Hope we get a track where both work on to remove other person's insecurities... filhal both are making things worst for each other...

Bold :- ok I am guilty but I throughly enjoyed that slap😳 . I was freaking angry on fahad and him showing up to meet Ayesha purposely in basit's absence was a wrong move... not going to defend basit's action but I enjoyed it 😳😳

The only action of basit in whole MU which I am totally against is, him throwing Ayesha out of the house. No justifications for it... he need to apologize nd do everything to make girl accept his apology... by everything I mean everything and not just a sorry ...

@red :- I agree on this ...

@blue :- but this is not the case .. she wasn't meeting fahad to know basit better... she was clearly lying to her husband to keep her family matters away from him.. for which I agree if she doesn't trust him to confide in him but when you know you are being caught and still continue with your lies than I blame the girl more here...

Basit is wrong in jumping on conclusion but Ayesha-fahad did nothing but confirmed his suspicions by staying quiet nd continue their secret meetings .. that was where I feel both ayesha and fahad are absolutely wrong...

Just like you.. I felt the post was getting toooo long.. So here is a part two..

You mentioned trust.. That by the way Ayesha is behaving with telling lies, meeting up with Fahad, how can she expects Basit's trust?

True.. But I think his perception of women and their behaviour is already a setup for failure for both of them. That needs to change. And even if he distrusts women.. why does he not have good faith his best friend, whom he has known for years and years?

Basit has acted like a bull who can only see the red cloth..

Both are bearing the consequences of the choices and actions they have made.. It is Basit who escalated in the way that he did.. There were 2 people trying to reason with him still.. And perhaps the truth would have came out sooner and from Ayesha's mouth.. But now, unless he apologizes she wont tell him perhaps..

Ayesha has heard Basit speak ill of (and to) his mother several times,
Sadia has explained her about Basit, Fahad has mentioned he is been trough a lot. Her decision to not include Basit and to not speak the truth was wrong. I do think this is an action-reaction case. Ayesha felt she could not tell the truth to Basit based on what she has seen and heard.

Fahad got caught between this.. he tried to do good and see now.. Moral of the story? Dont think for someone else, just speak your truth and deal with it.. This will be lesson learned kind of a toast on Bano and Fahad wedding 😆

Basit will have to share Fahad from now on.. He is his best friend, but now also a friend to Ayesha. Men and Women can be just good friends too.

Them meeting aside, but for innocent reasons... I mean that is just good for the story.. more drama, more angst..

i find it very interesting to see, what we see when watching these series.. and why we side with specific characters the way we do..

There is something I like about car talks.. today I saw that scene again when Basit gives Ayesha a ride home. Their conversation was so good!
Many things they could have done differently. All of them.. It is what it is.. Now how will they move forward from here..?

Their hospital scene was good.. I liked Ayesha for praying for him in his room. He will never know.. She prayed for him because she cares.. she stayed because she cares.. and not because a promise made to never leave him alone.

What if Fahad did come home to meet Ayesha? He did that in Basit's villa also.. Staff/Karim was at home.. What if he would comeby, and nobody is home.. she is all alone.. He would have doubted them the same perhaps.. that is also a possibility.

The fact that Fahad and Ayesha want to speak with eachother is fine for me. They are in the same boat and only they know their truth.. which make them bond more.. they want Basit back in their life but he has hurt them too. He has made the pure brother/sister in law relationship look ugly. It is natural to complain right? they will not praise him 😆

These 3 should sit down and talk, apologize and just kiss and make up 😆
I am so excited for the double episode.. Let us see what they will give us..

When we talk about trust nd basit's perception about women based on his past, don't you think Ayesha literally stepped on his weakest nerve? The ppl we love or just care for, don't we be careful to things they are very sensitive about... his bachpan ka dost fahad, doesn't he knows basit's past nd his thoughts about marriage nd women... I don't understand why Ayesha and fahad are even shocked at basit's reaction.. the same fahad at time of Soha was giving suggestions to bring the girl in dayra(boundary) before setting rules to keep her in that dayra... that time I found both basit and fahad stupid with their talks nd I really liked how Soha dumped him nd refused to sacrifice on her way of living... does fahad forget all this?

Basit reacted absolutely according to his character.. honestly any man or woman in this situation gonna react same way, even if they won't have twisted past. I so wanna see Soha's entry here.. high time Ayesha feels the same burnt and realizes how it feels 😳😳😆

Bold :- no they are not reasoning with him.. they are telling him we hv lied, we'll not tell you the truth and you are wrong in not trusting us..

See they hv caught in a situation where rather than blaming basit for his outburst they better need to come clean...

@yellow :- lol 😆

Fahad learnt it hard way 😆

There is a reason when elders say never come between husband and wife .. Fahad is giving dhobi ka kutta na ghar ka na ghat ka vibes🤣

Bhabhi ke chakkar mein,dost bhi geya ...

Of course men and women can be good friends, just friends, best friends or any other friend... no way I am against their friendship... but it's the behavior that matters not the gender... when you talk to your friend you won't lie to your family, you don't go out and pretend talking to your sister, hell you will not keep your meetings a secret... I mean we all hv friends .. and irrespective of gender we come clean with our friendships... aren't we ? What were they expecting that basit will say you guys carry on,I'll not disturb you 🤷‍♀️

Forget boy I don't remember lying to my parents/family even about female friends... did you see how fahad behaved when basit came, fahad left immediately as if caught red handed.. arre bhai tumhara hi dost hai woh, jhuth bol bhi rahe ho to at least normal behave to karo

I remember a member here mentioned how using fahad for this MU is a bad move.. when they'll back to normal things gonna be real awkward.. how they will deal basit, ayesha, fahad in same scene or for that matter even ayesha-fahad scene.. they could hv made a actual cute bro/sis bonding.. but now it'll be odd to see them in one frame.. at least for me as personal choice fahad is ruined nd I don't enjoy him anymore with Ayet( that's a personal choice, no reasoning as per track or episode)

Oh I liked both their car convos... the one you mentioned nd the other one when he came to pick her up after their fight... how I wish to see more of their conversations

Hospital scene was good in every essence... from their silent talk to her praying for him.. his tears for her... damn both are hurting in this misunderstanding 💔

Purple:- this is my problem with whole track... why only basit has to apologize? Why only he has hurt them? I feel basit is suffering more here.. he is alone ... ayesha-fahad are actually talking and venting their frustrations . Ayesha has bano to console her.. but damn basit has no one.

As expected this is what we might get in show too.. basit will be shown guilty nd he'll make up for everything.

For a change I want both to apologize and not just basit. For me both are wrong... who's fault is bigger doesn't matter as long as 2 ppl are willing to make things work. But if they continue with Ayesha's holier than thou attitude then I don't know for how long I'll be able to bear this track..

Me equally excited for double episodes nxt week.. I am really hoping, we'll see end to this misunderstanding. Can't bear the torture for one more week ...

Can we all do a series of Basit comforting Ayesha (also vice-versa in case you guys are interested?

So a few scenarios could perhaps be:

1. Ayesha PMSing

2. Ayesha on her period and dealing with cramps (This would be a good lesson for Basit considering his limited exposure to women kind).

3. Ayesha crying after a fight or being taunted in general by Qudsia (would love to see a protective Basit ☺️)

4. Ayesha being nervous before her exam (would love for Basit to encourage her to study further)

5. Ayesha being jealous of Soha

6. Ayesha being insomniac

7. Ayesha burning her hand while cooking

8. Ayesha suffering from fever

9. A health scare for Ayesha

Will edit this as I get more ideas.

Would love for you guys to contribute as well!

Hi guys! So I really wanted to write on topic number 2 as well but since Twerps called dibs on it, I wanted to wait for her to post her piece before I posted mine. I would confess that it was half written till yesterday however, reading the lovely piece written by Twerps and my general weepy mood inspired me to write another Ayet one shot on Ayesha dealing with cramps.

So the mood in this is a little different. I’m contemplating a scenario where the misunderstandings have been cleared out and both Ayesha and Basit are trying to work on their relationship.

This is the first ever piece I have written, so would love to know your views on the same. I’m nervous but posting this…

Ayesha entered the room with a heating pad in her hand utterly exhausted. It was the first day of her menstrual cycle today and even though she wasn't bleeding all that much, the cramps were killing her. She didn't know which was worse , her back or her abdominal cramps. It was mostly bearable during this time of the month, however this particular instance could count as one of her most painful experiences.

She glanced at Basit who was sitting on the bed watching the news with rapt attention. Basit after getting to know about the misunderstanding had dragged Ayesha back home with him and saved her from her mother’s scheme of marrying Yawar, not that she would have agreed to marry him but there was something so satisfying in watching her husband thrash her mother’s plan and take her home. This did not mean that their issues were immediately resolved. Basit was hurt that she did not choose to trust him but then so was she, he drew the worst conclusion when it came to her and didn’t take a moment’s pause before throwing her out of the house. Over the course of the next few days they spoke about wanting to give this marriage a chance. Ever since then, they’ve been slowly trying to rebuild their relationship.

Ayesha lay herself down on her side of the bed with her back facing Basit and kept the heating pad on her abdomen. As she felt her abdominal muscles relax, she moved the pad and kept it on her back. This proved to be a task at the particular moment, considering that she couldn't lie down straight on the bed , she had to move her arm behind her back.

After a minute she felt Basit’s hand on her back holding the heating pad as he whispered softly in her ear , “let it go, I've got it now”. She breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you”, she said. “What happened?” he asked. Ayesha wanted to deflect but the recent events consisting of misunderstandings and their almost divorce had taught them both a lesson on improving their communication and because she had promised to be more open with him, she bravely responded, “I am on my period, hence the cramps”.

Is it always this bad”, he asked after a momentary pause. “It's mostly bearable but this time around it is hurting quite a bit”, she replied. “Is there something I can do”, he asked again. “Please just keep holding this”, she replied.

Basit wondered if she was in the mood to talk. He never really paid much heed to this phenomenon that women experienced every month but with Ayesha he was curious about everything, more so after realising that his wife wasn’t as forthcoming about her issues with him as he perceived before that horrendous misunderstanding.

Hesitating slightly, he asked her when did she start menstruating. “When I was 10”, she replied tentatively. “Ten” he wondered, “so young”. When he was ten , he was lamenting his mother leaving him and simultaneously playing with video games his father bought to distract him from his pain.

“How did you handle this then?” Basit questioned. I did somehow”, Ayesha answered. “Though it was worse when I was a kid. It used to hurt a lot more”, she opened up. “Don't you have medicines for this” , he asked her. “You do but I usually avoid taking them”. He asked her whether she'd taken one now to which she replied in the affirmative.

Basit could feel that she was starting to get sleepy. To comfort her more and to alleviate the pain further, he whispered “lie on your stomach”. “What?!” she almost exclaimed. “Shh… do as I say”, he nudged her.

On any other day, Ayesha would have been too flustered to respond. However, along with feeling those butterflies in her tummy, she was also feeling the excruciating pain in her back and any comfort from that pain was welcome at this point. So shedding some of her inhibitions and feeling content that he cared, she turned to lie on her stomach.

Basit started massaging Ayesha’s lower back firmly, he heard her moan almost in relief and felt a growing satisfaction that he was aiding her somehow. He continued massaging her back gently and told her to go to sleep to which she hummed in response.

Her husband, Ayesha realised is particularly gifted in the art of giving massages. She hadn’t felt so relaxed in a long time. Most often but especially since her marriage, Ayesha had been carrying herself stiffly and not felt comfortable enough in her husband’s presence to fully relax. She knew that Basit had a softer side, though not always visible. She liked this version of him, the gentle tone of his voice and the sheer intent to comfort her. If only she could ask for such massages more often! Perhaps he would indulge her…sometime in the future.

“It really is unfair” Basit thought , “bearing that kind of pain all alone”. He felt a newfound respect for womenkind but especially for Ayesha. He was slowly realising that he hated to see her in any sort of discomfort or pain. He felt helpless that he couldn't protect her from this but this was the least he could do to help alleviate her pain. He made a mental note to ask her if she needed anything else to aid her. He also promised himself to invest in a luxuriant massage cream for his Ayesha and to read up about comforting one’s wife during her time of the month. Being bereft of a female presence almost his entire life, he could surely do with some help!

Basit’s hands stopped for a minute then and he felt Ayesha moan, not in relief but in discomfort, hence he resumed with the massaging. This time he was more thorough in his task , he warmed his hands by rubbing them together and put them under her night shirt. Ayesha, now pleasantly drowsy felt goosebumps all over her body but chose to remain silent. His fingers on her bare skin was sweet torture. Basit’s fingers made deep circles in the lower curve of her back when he heard her sigh in relief. Basit felt the sigh reverberate in his entire body , almost as if he was the one getting massaged. “It felt good to comfort her”, he thought. He now started kneading her shoulder blades and moved from her mid to the lower curve of her back. Ayesha had surrendered to the sweet call of sleep as Basit continued massaging Ayesha and didn't even realise when he himself fell asleep.

I am writing so much on behalf of Ayesha. I think I like it.. Next time, I will advocate for someone else..

Qudsia, we should leave for the very last - finale episodes 😆

Both judge each others on actions and assumptions and their insecurities feed into that.

I agree on your comment about Zoya, male friends and open mind.. Though.. actions again.. Zoya did show to Ayesha how she handles attention from men and that she accepts gifts.. There lies danger in that.. and for Zoya these male friend(s) are potential boyfriend(s). Fahad is her brother (in law).. I see your point yes.

Ayesha made a big scene for Zoya. I really did not like the way she handled that. She saw, assumed, did not ask anything, did not sit down to talk but just did what she felt was right.. A little bit like what Basit is doing now.. Zoya did invite her sister to come sit.. Missed chance for Ayesha. She is or was also stuck to her values.

I noticed that in series, serials, they show sometimes a moral in stories for the audience.
So, what would be the lesson(s) we could learn together with Basit and Ayesha?

Hmm... I wonder if there are people who would put full blame on Basit. Or on one person for that matter. I think that part the writers and directors did well, to show that we all have a part in the issue.. We are all to blame in that sense. Take your accountability, face your demons and grow up (together)..

Ohh I liked their whole conversation. It was cute, funny and we could feel their emotions..

Mostly, we have been able to see more angles, from different characters. That is quite special.

Thanks for your responses... It was just lovely...

Your mom's health will be in our prayers too my dear.. Hope she recovers really soon. Happy to hear she is home again and family is coming over to visit her. It will cheer her up too I hope.

And you hv already called me pro basit😳

So might change team and try to advocate ayesha next time😆

Qudsia is lost case for me.. thanks to her I don't find zoya's wrong deeds, wrong anymore..

I might advocate zoya too 😆, I am just missing this girl in show...lol

From the background Ayesha comes from, he is not BIL but her husband's friend... enough of deciding on ayesha fahad relationship... they are not wrong but them not coming clean about things they are hiding is wrong for me... we hvnt seen them bonding over time or getting much fahad ayesha scenes to understand the depth of their relationship( friends, bro-sis)

One fine day it was literally thrown on our faces that Ayesha trusts fahad more with her family issues than her own husband.. either they could hv shown Ayesha's old friend for this trust nd understanding OR they could hv shown more scenes of Ayesha-fahad to give us background of how they become so close... she calling him for basit made sense but her confiding in him for Zoya issue is just umm leave it.

Moral ? Don't know , let's see how show ends and than we might get it... for now it's only forced MU without any moral 😆

Red :- completely agree...

this is how it should be ... I just hope we see character growth for all characters 🤞

Which conversation? I lost the track I guess😳

Thanks for the wishes dear ❤️❤️

Them

Oh btw watching the scene when Ayesha asked for divorce, gave me idea why Ayesha is not raising her hand and repeating BAS BASIT when he is talking about divorce 😆😆

Sorry this vm is super love but couldn't help this thought 😳😳😆

@cappacuino5

Cappa! Why would you stop there? What a brilliant piece you have written on Ayet! Had butterflies in my stomach myself while reading it. The fact that their proximity itself opens them up to each other once again was brought out so beautifully in your story. I am so glad inspiration took you and you finished the story and posted it for us!

Please write more! Till then let me imagine Basit leaning against Ayeshas ears, whispering to her, holding the heat pad against her back, massaging her and finally the growing intimacy! Oh my goodness! I am totally floating away to cloud number nine now.

I am so glad you thought of this story challenge. This gave us all the opportunity to discover that you are quite the gifted writer yourself! This was seriously such a beautiful balance between sweet and sizzling! I want more from you!

Oh and also the fact that Basit with his general ignorance about women to have his eyes opened in this manner and for him to embrace what he is learning thus gave such a positive vibe.

Hi Sarce,
I so agree with your words..! Especially @bold
This gives more scope to write right? (don't say try it.. 😆)

Now, we are waiting for your drabble ❤️

Hahaha, you don't need any encouragement. You're ready there. 😆

Drabble coming up!

Originally posted by: cappacuino5

Hey, Sarce! It’s been a while. I especially remember your story on Jaya-Jaidev-Sinhaal. The show did us dirty with JJ but your story seemed to be perfectly paced as regards their relationship. Any chance that we get an update anytime soon? ☺️

I so look forward to your Drabble on Ayet ❤️ You have such a flair for writing. Update soon!

I'm glad you still remember the JJ fic. It is very close to my heart. I really wish I had been able to finish it back then. But I do hope to go back to it some day, just don't know when. Will let you know if and when I do.

I'll be posting the drabble on Ayet shortly. But just a headsup, don't keep your expectations too high for this one. I haven’t watched the show and don't have much insight into the characters so I've tried to keep it short and light.
