I wanted to share a few thoughts. I think as an audience we tend to forget about things in the past about a character when something new occurs. I know there were a few people who started liking Maheer from MPHT after the last episode and started comparing her with Meerab. Are we forgetting how unconcerned and dismissive she was about her best friend in the previous episodes. Meerab never considered Murtasim a best friend and in fact hated him so her feelings were moving forward rather than backwards like Maheer’s were. Also there was definitely attraction from Meerab’s side too that made us hopeful for this love story to move forward. I felt the same way about Waqas’ courtroom drama - I was glad he came in and had Meerab’s back but had he taken a stand in the first place, Meerab wouldn’t be in this mess. We as an audience seem to only remember the most recent behaviour of characters. Nourez came in a lectured everyone and people forgot that Murtasim has stood up for Meerab numerous times. Mariam also became mature overnight and came clean with Nourez. So yes credit to him as it could have gone either way but Mariam had better communication with her husband than Meerab has had with Murtasim.
That being said, Meerab’s situation is quite different so I understand where she is coming from. I give her a free pass sometimes just like I tend to give Murtasim a free pass.
Meerab leaving because of an identity crisis makes perfect sense to me and is completely in line with the entire story. The whole entire drama has been about her struggle with losing her identity and not wanting to completely lose herself. That’s why she resisted Murtasim for so long despite of her growing feelings towards him. It’s almost like the two are conflicting. This same conflict is what made her break the contract and make her deeply regret it after. She felt like she lost herself and lost control over the one thing she felt she had control over. I think if Murtasim and Meerab would have been in a good place then she would have been fine but they were in the worst, most toxic place in their relationship. I think it was enough for her to lose it. Meerab needs to figure out who she is without interference from her husband, in-laws and parents. Once she figures that out, her realization for her love for Murtasim will mean more. She will only be with him because she wants him and nothing else, until then she will always view him as someone was the cause of her losing her identity. Murtasim has already realized his feelings for Meerab. I think this whole separation track is for Meerab to realize her feelings towards him. Hopefully the distance between them and that fear of having lost each other will make them realize that they need to trust each other as well. They need a good heart-to-heart. To me, her running away because of an identity crisis makes so much more sense than MR. That would go against what both characters stand for. I didn’t buy the MR trope today at all unless they completely edited the episode but it didn’t feel that way.
