Just my 2 cents on today’s episode-
In this episode, we could clearly witness Zaid’s mind being “all over the place”. For a lot of people, his actions can give out bratty teenager vibes but he’s visibly struggling with past feelings and is finding it incredibly challenging and overwhelming in dealing with his new relationship.
Zaid is someone who doesn’t engage in extensive decoding or reading between the lines.He values clear and direct communication, and this can sometimes lead to a preference for taking things at face value(Eg-Ayras mood swing scene - she told him to leave n he left,he couldn’t see through his dad’s/sister’s lies and deceptions and even in today’s episode he just believed Ayra’s words).
His indifference and rudeness towards Mub is because of his lingering feelings and a lack of closure from Ayra.He is regretting his impulsive action big time and this emotional baggage is not going to let him move on that easily! He is venting his frustrations from his relationship with his father onto Mub as he finds her to be an easy target.
I loved the self-deprecation scene- “yes,I am a loser” between Z and his dad;it resonated with me.Here’s a person who has lost in love and is using this as a defense mechanism to cope with his feelings of inadequacy/rejection/heartbreak.
Mub is trying really hard to make this relationship work;She has always respected him for his forthright nature but little did she know that she’d be stuck with someone as complex as Z. Z is as complex n flawed as Mub if not more!
