Very true about Basit's lack of firmness in insisting he take Ayesha to her home at night. He is pretty callous to let her go away like that. I think for that we shall have to take into consideration how Ayesha's parting words left him in shock. For some time there, Basit seemed to not know where he was or what Soha was telling him.
The only thing he says in Ayesha's defense to Soha is that nothing of this luxurious lifestyle matters to Ayesha. I think in Basit's eyes, what Soha was saying were quite natural things that anyone of his status would say. He didn't find her comments unsavoury. And even when Ayesha shouted at him for telling Soha those things, Basit still acts like he was justified. I think there will be more on this in the coming episodes. His shock as well as him allowing Soha to comment on Ayesha like that, the cause is the same. I think in his heart ( like he was thinking to himself in the hospital), Ayesha is a poor girl whom he married. He is very conscious of the difference in status between him and Ayesha. It is not all solely in Ayesha's head. There is cause for Ayesha's insecurity.
Ultimately for Basit and Ayesha to truly fall in love, Basit and Ayesha both have to let go of this thing over the status difference. And I think both have made some progress on this. Ayesha has lost that hesitancy to speak her mind. By the end of ep 25, she was arguing back word for word. Basit too has moved away somewhat from thinking that he did Ayesha a favour by marrying her and letting her have this kind of lifestyle, because he has now realised none of this matters to Ayesha. In ep 23 he was sitting in his room thinking what kind of person are you Ayesha?
What do you guys think?
