I’m not pissed off at the episode any more than I was with its precap last week. In fact, this episode only aligned with my earlier analysis.
The episode highlighted a few things:
1. Haya has been adamantly refusing every proposal throughout the year
2. MK’s doubt on Haya. He again questioned her if she was involved in Meerab leaving.
Why did he ask her this? He was giving her a chance to come clean and go scot free. With her lie, she lost her chance and his mercy.
3. Haya could have answered a simple ‘no’, she could have escaped. Her answer was the most apparent lie on MK’s face: Had I been there, Meerab would have been here
He knew it’s a lie.
4. Thank God for small mercies. MK didn’t allow H to put that ring on him. Notice he wore the ring on his own. And he didn’t bother to wait for formalities and mu meetha karna.
MK kisi ka jhoota nahi khata
5. MK again recalled the scene about losing umeed and promising Haya the ring.
Why would the makers insert this fb while giving us devdas MK simultaneously? He hasn’t lost umeed.
6. MK’s body language throughout the episode, his subtle eye rolls, eyes twitching, jaw ticking at Haya’s antics.
7. MK’s silence when Anwar defends Meerab. He was not ashamed. He should be ashamed if he’s moving on so quickly after claiming to love his daughter, no?
This was such a deja vu of Waqas’s adalat and MK’s silence.
8. And why would Anwar specifically talk about ‘Intezaar’? Hasn’t MK been saying ishq is ‘intezaar’?
9. How come Anwar has suddenly grown a spine and is speaking for Meerab when it is a story about MK’s ishq and intezaar?
Sure, Anwar gets a redemption, but never at the cost of the writer’s favourite character.
10. Haya’s monologue during the engagement. Confirmation: She never loved Murtasim. It was always MK and the power of being his Begum. So there’s hope for no redemption for her. She won’t become mahaan and sacrifice something she isn’t capable of.😆
But the harsh facts remain:
1. Meerab is being character assasinated publicly. MK has allowed this.
2. This is a public engagement. MK is going along with it.
Murtasim spent what little mercy he had for Haya.
He gave her one final shot at confessing about Meerab earning his forgiveness, marrying Muneeb leaving the haveli despite her sins he is letting her have her happy ending.
She is family she is his responsibility the humanity in him required that he try one final time.
But Behaya squashed his last chance, now no more pity from his side and he will feel no guilt for what he is going to do next, she doesn't deserve happiness.
She wants pain he will give her pain KMK style.
Subject of Khulla was brought up, light bulb in KMK head lights up. What better way to smoke Meerab out than to force her hand with divorce. She will find out about his engagement and come storming back in his life.
Then he will be like GOTCHAAAAAA WOMANNNNNN
Nothing is over till it is over
He will have the last laugh
Stay tuned
