He even said that, no? That the silence and solitude in the house had never felt this oppressive to him before. And when Ayesha tells him in the hospital that she went to his house, he asks her lightly that so now it is his house? But of course, by throwing her out, he has made it clear that it is indeed his house, and as archiesview had said, perhaps the apartment gifting came out of this sense of guilt that when they had fallen out he had made her essentially homeless. So being Basit, he is like so what if this is my house. now you can have your house as well which is your own
And he does look lost without Ayesha, I love how you describe his inner turmoil, the changes that have happened in him. ❤️ Please pretty please, write that story...the one about the Soha factor.
I suddenly remembered that moment when Sadia told Ayesha about Basit missing her...she was like "it was sooo obvious"! poor Ayesha...all this never happens where she can see it too. Before her, Basit always has to appear, cool and collected, the master of his universe unless he is emotionally shattered (like after Sadia's death or when he lost it on seeing Fahad with Ayesha)
Btw I suddenly thought of something...we keep saying that Ayesha doesn't know of the deal between her mom and Basit...but Ayesha's family also doesn't know that Basit and Ayesha got married because of Basit's father's will. I mean, in Ayesha's eyes would that extra 75 lakhs Basit paid her mother make any difference considering the fact that she already knew that this marriage was a part of a business-related decision? Only thing, perhaps it would help in breaking her even further since till now she has at least this source of comfort that she never tried to profit out of this marriage and that by marrying Basit she returned him a favour. But if she learns of Qudsia taking the money, then she will lose even that.
Yes!! I don’t know could I forget that scene where Basit acknowledges that he’s never felt so oppressed in his room and also that he never missed Ayesha before this!
About the apartment, I also felt that this was Basit’s way of apologising for throwing Ayesha out. He wanted to give her the security of a home. Unfortunately, he went about it the wrong way. He should have begun by apologising for throwing her out, clarified that he doesn’t want a divorce and wants back in his life, told her that her action of hiding the truth hurt him and that he jumped to the worst conclusion, waited for Ayesha to speak her side of the story and then gift her the apartment by telling her that this is for her security.
Basit’s ego prevents him from coming clean to Ayesha (not that Ayesha is very forthcoming about her feelings). You’re right he’s mostly maintained a charade of being in control around her. He’s never admitted to how much he appreciates her before this entire fiasco. I wish Ayesha could see him pining for her now.
Haha I’ll try to write the Soha factor story, in turn you please please please write the kitchen romance whenever you find time. ☺️
As for the money that Basit paid to her mother, it would make a world of a difference. I remember that Aamna in one of her reviews said that till now Ayesha in her own mind is on a higher moral ground, she married Basit to help him get out of a conundrum in turn for helping her financially. Even while she was angrily leaving towards the end of episode 22, she tells Basit that I want no compensation for the time spent with you. Therefore, getting to know that Basit paid a huge sum of money in exchange for her help, would make her feel that she was traded by her mother and bought by her husband. It would shatter Ayesha and this would reaffirm her belief that Basit has no interest in her. She anyway believes that he never liked her, was never emotionally invested in her and this truth will be the final straw. A lot will depend on how Basit will communicate his feelings on the matter with her.
How and when do you think Ayesha will get to know about this truth and what will be her reaction? I remember in the ost, there’s a scene with Ayesha walking on the road alone at night, crying and something tells me that this is in the aftermath of getting to know the truth. Then we see Basit dragging Ayesha back home with him, even though he initially looks annoyed.
