Meerab is her own person. She is strong, naive and impulsive but not dumb, bratty or remotely insensitive.
For her to accept Murtasim love she has to accept his flaws too - his anger and his thinking! This won’t come easily to her. She is scared of his anger given her upbringing! She probably never saw Waqas raising his voice over maid and for someone grown up in that atmosphere , MK anger is scary and remember she said she feels he is poisonous and entire environment of haveli and people caged and regressive. He could as well as die to prove his love for her , but that will not make her change her opinion of him. Plus she thinks dying is easy so he has to pull a bigger stunts but not ethan hawke type, no guns and no jumps! So all that support and thing is good but not enuf! Her insensitivity towards his advances is not her naïveté but her way of protecting herself from him. She had fallen for his charm but not ready to submit herself. First he needs to earn her trust and then love.So what can he do to earn her trust and love ? Is the crux of story.
KMK reaction to entire Rohail and aftermath is totally him ! If he would have walked away from rohail house silently after listening to his trash talk and Meerab’s silence it would have been so out of character and him blowing up after what he saw is how he was always! He is in love with her but does he believe she loves him - No , he doesn’t . So for him to trust her will not come easily ! He is a man of commitment, once committed he is totally in, there is no pendulum giri for him and meerab has not given him any reason to make him trust her love, not her character .Since she is not giving him any he came to with his own - Jump ! Does he have right to do so- No. would he do the same - Yes , he won’t even question why? So per him if he can do that in love for her, she can also do it for him.Would he have let her jump- No , what if she had slipped or there was an accident ? he would jumped behind her even before anyone could comprehend what happened.
She smiles - He smiles . She cries - He cries . She is in pain- He feels the pain. She lives - He lives !
That’s extent of his passion and love for her! Is it shallow No not at all , to love someone to let it consumes you so much is not easy! But it lacks depth and perspective. He understands her better than anyone else, but he is holding himself as he is afraid of the aftermath,if she doesn’t reciprocate .Because he ain’t letting her go under any circumstances , he will as well live with her in that bedroom without consummating but no way he will ask her to leave ! so she will leave. him on her own accord for his good !
So with/without Meerab , mariyam was doomed but getting Meerab involved she doomed there already shaky marriage unknowingly! Meerab reaction was what anybody in her place do! She tries to reason out later and let’s see how the ring thing plays out. Am sure Mariyam is not getting hitched to that leech , in TB world only Meerasim suffer rest all get happy meal that too free of cost !
The only problem in all this chaos is why neither Murtasim nor Meerab are addressing the elephant in the room? Why none of them are bringing up what is next step?
Why is he not asking her what is stopping her from taking leap of faith and why doesn’t she tell him what she wants? Why oh why these two don’t talk ?
Why a man who is in love with her and understands her pain is not able to understand that she needs more than his love to heal and why someone like meerab who has gone through so much not able to understand that all her answers is right in infront of her , all she has to do is reach out to it and everything will fall into place!
Can they both stop quoting Pyaar , Ishq and Mohabath and start speaking already !
