I think we are thinking about this too harshly.
Because we hate haya.
Murtasim grew up with her she's a family member. And he is very caring towards his family. He was a bit different before falling in love with meerab but he softened towards haya. What I noticed was as he was harshly rejected by meerab he emphasized with her.
It's not to say this means he's interested in her in anyway. Sure enough she was bad towards meerab but time and time again it's shown her revelations were true and meerab lied.
After murtasim asks meerab to take care of him and her as he loved her so much she crushes him with the marium betrayal.
And even though she was whitewashed with vikas. What she did was reckless and ridiculously stupid. Why did she not just listen to him?
Why does she have to prove her point. Rather than apologize for it. She all of sudden starts feeling sorry for herself he drove her 3 hours to karachi but she never said a word cos he didn't ask?
She couldn't apologize she even said she had a hand in helping marium run away and couldn't explain anything as he left her home?
And she went out with rohail we will give her benefit of doubt she went because she realized she loved murtasim when he left her home. And she was a bit out of it.
But after all she did and knowing how haya is to not believe him was beyond stupid.
Murtasim once meerab abandons him after that MR stuff or consensual or whatever. He has no reason to believe anything she says because meerabs marzi. He doesn't even think about what haya did. Because all he thinks about is meerab. All he cares about is her.
He looks for her. Haya slithers all around him. Taking care of his every need. But he's barely breating she got him alone. But he's heart broken.
He doesn't care about her.
His mother sent him back to work, he barely does his duties and has no interest in anything.
He does whatever for his family. But he lives with fear she left him for rohail. So when he finds out she didn't. He feels relieved.
But then he realizes she left because of her dumb contract.
Now if we give meerab the benefit of doubt she lost the last wall she had control over. Her running away is an identity crisis. Her family held her marriage above her happiness. So she didn't trust them. Despite their later kindness. She also didn't trust murtasim. Or any love he professed to her because people lied to her. Everyone who said they loved her lied to her.
To her that scene with haya made her think just like everyone else he let her down.
She had nothing in her control. She wanted to regain that. But her getting Pregnant doesn't allow her that. But it gives her a true love. Someone who depends on her. With meesam she heals.
She wants meesam to have everything she didn't. And give her all the love in the world with no conditions.
So I can see her swallowing her pride and going back to him. Now nooran probably meant some of this for us to interpret. But seeing murtasim offer to marry haya on his own wasn't written well enough go convey is majoboori. He should have been forced explicitly not implicitly. Meerab didn't need to be raped for her to loose her identity with the contract.
She could have lost it consensually sleeping with him. And after that noticing his closeness with haya.
Waqas did not need to die. At all period for meerab to realize meesam needs her father.
Meerab could have figured it out while pregnant. She didn't need Farooq fam. She could have moved away and let waqqas and anila support her.
I'd have proffered her living alone. Than having that Farooq character at all.
