This is how I’m seeing it too. The problem is that dialogue is too vague and open to interpretation. Like I thought she actually wanted to get slapped by Ammar. It also made it seem like she just wants a reaction from him because she still has feelings for him. The explanation of her pointing out his fake personality makes so much more sense and is in line with the story so far. I don’t know if I got influenced by tweets that I saw or if that’s how I objectively saw it. I don’t like things spelled out but some things need clarity.
Also Sadaf telling Bilal she wants to see him at 1 am was because she was feeling vulnerable and wanted to see him.The problem is it probably came off sounding like a booty call when it really wasn’t. She was feeling a bit rejected after their dinner, but the guy helping her with her luggage gave her hope again when he said Bilal came checked out the rooms for her. She feels safe around him now in contrast to how she used to feel around him before. She knows he won’t try anything so I feel it was very innocent but she isn’t thinking clearly.
Let me analyze the emotional awareness between Amaar, Sadaf, and Bilal. This will help in understanding the characters better.
It is clear that Sadaf wants to hurt Amaar—she has no intention of going back to him. She harbors deep anger and resentment towards him, which is why she is baiting him, just like luring a fish with bait. Due to the chain of trauma she has experienced, her personality is evolving towards narcissism. The reason for this is not that she ever loved Amaar—she never did. She wanted to believe in his love and tied herself to him through marriage. However, when she saw Amaar and Dania together in an intimate setting (feeding each other, Dania saying, "I will put you to sleep"), she realized that the problem wasn’t Amaar’s insecurity but that his love was fake.
Now, Sadaf is filled with anger and resentment, thinking, "How could I have fallen for this fraud?" On the other hand, Amaar is still unaware of this reality. He assumes that the girl who rejected Bilal will calm down and eventually forgive him. However, Sadaf married Amaar because she believed in his love. Failing to understand this, Amaar built his reconciliation attempts on the idea of settling scores. Notice that his apologies and proposals always revolve around phrases like "I forgave you, now we’re even."
Sadaf’s emotional breakdown and trauma are preventing her from acknowledging the feelings she had for Bilal since the very first day they met. People find ways to cope with their losses and painful experiences in different ways—some turn to alcohol (like Bilal), some distance themselves, some seek comfort in a trusted friend, some hold on to anger and resentment, and most importantly, some try to rediscover the love they lost.
Bilal, on the other hand, has not fully recovered from the trauma of his parents. His self-preservation instinct is making him stay away from Sadaf. His experience with love has only changed his perception of women and eradicated the hatred he once had inside him. He believes that Sadaf was truly in love with Amaar and that her actions are driven by anger and revenge. He does not see her as indecisive but rather as a stubborn girl who frequently changes her mind.
Each of them has a different and incomplete perspective on love.
- Bilal thinks love is a one-sided feeling.
- Amaar sees love as something that must be stolen or forcibly obtained.
- Sadaf has a narcissistic approach—she believes the ultimate boundary a man can reach for love is suicidal tendencies.
In the upcoming episodes, all three characters’ perspectives on love will change again. Ultimately, we will see Bilal and Sadaf together.
