Agree with all of this. I still felt very bad for Meerab, as she didn’t really foresee this happening to Maryam, and I know she feels for Murtasim but has not wanted to admit it to herself. So in that respect, yes, I feel very bad for her. I hope and believe Waqas and Aneela will take care of her. But still don’t feel as bad for her as I feel for Murtasim. Because, Meerab never wanted this relationship anyways, nor did she want to stay in this haveli and be part of this system. Which I understand…why would she want to.
You are absolutely right…everything else was a priority for Meerab before their relationship. (Which is b/c she didn’t want to be there in the first place, didn’t care for their relationship, and it was a matter of her ego as well. I totally get why she wasn’t into their relationship, from her character’s perspective.) And this Maryam fiasco was a direct result of this lack of priority…he told her not to put Maryam in between them, specifically he asked her not to. And she refused. And then, he looked her in the face and told her not to do anything like this. She felt his tears, cried herself, because she knew she was about to do just that. So there we have it. She even told him a few episodes ago that she wanted to leave this house, right to his face, but that she was only staying because Maryam was her maksaad. Her bari bari baat has come home to roost.
To me, Meerab’s character knew what she was doing and what the consequences might be from the family’s reaction perspective. Even without Anas turning out to be Zooby, they were not going to be ok with Maryam getting married behind their back. And Meerab helping them do that would have happened even without Haya knowing about Anas’ identify. If Meerab and Murtasim had a stronger relationship and communication that comes with it, she would have been able to tell Murtasim all about it, about Maryam’s suicide threat etc. But the relationship was not there from her perspective, so she didn’t get those benefits. So, what good is staying in that kind of a situation?
Also, here’s another point which nobody really acknowledges or talks about, but it really is a mark of a person’s character. Meerab has always made Murtasim feel insecure about their relationship, indicating that she wants to leave, and it’s actually very cruel. What happened to Meerab was incredibly cruel, but why is it ok to take it out on an innocent person? It’s not. You can’t dangle that threat over some innocent person’s head because you were wronged. It’s messed up and unfair. If you want to leave, and in Meerab’s case I think she is justified to want that, then she should have left. You should leave a person, instead of taking out your frustrations on them. It’s just human decency. And whether you are religious or not, I doubt any view of spirituality thinks it’s ok to treat a person like that. Constantly threatening that you will leave them. It is a power dynamic that is just wrong. (And no, it’s not the same thing as Haya, because Meerab herself told Haya to go right ahead and take her out of Murtasim’s life because she can’t leave herself.) Lots of eating words happening right now.
I am happy with Meerab’s actions today. I noticed that Meerab wasn’t really protesting when they were asking her to leave, and I was glad for that. She just said that she wanted to wait for Murtasim. But not that she opposed the decision to leave. That gave me some more respect for her…she knows she made a decision that affected others and accepted the consequences. Had I unintentionally helped to place someone in this dangerous of a situation, I wouldn’t have wanted to stay there either. I wouldn’t know how to face those people, or myself. It doesn’t matter that Haya and Maryam were more at fault. You were the older, smarter, lawyer type city girl, and you took Maryam under your wing like your sister.
Not only Meerab, but Murtasim deserves to have someone make him their priority as well. I will very much enjoy seeing Meerab do that work. I hope I’m right..that Nooran makes Meerab the star in this part of the series and fights for him. In the meanwhile, Murtasim can also learn from his mistakes. Haya still lives in his house after almost murdering his wife…so in that sense, he also put that relationship before Meerab’s safety. He is now suffering for that huge mistake.

I hated the slow mo and fbs in the episode.
But i liked the teaser.
For me, Murtu did the right thing.He let her go.He saw her breaking of his trust as her determination for her to fullfil her marzi.So he gave her what she wanted.
Now its meerab's turn if she wants this relationship then she should go back to haveli like a boss and show haya her place.She fights for everyone but does not fight for this relationship because murtasim was doing it for a long time. Now meerab should fight for their relationship.
Murtasim is a human being he did whatever he could till now but even after listening to his chahat and him crying infront of her.She was adamant on her promise with third person and their relationship was not her priority so he let her go.
