April 2nd Episode
Deep Breaths. Big deep breaths.
I’m going to start with others before I talk about MaHer.
This will be all CAPS lock because yes, I’m yelling. I WANT ALL OF THE SUPPORTING CHARACTERS TO GO AWAY FROM THE SCREEN FOR A LITTLE WHILE. Tahir and Asad can stay; the rest need to go else I’ll break my screen.
What a horrible group of people. Parvez is a scum yet somehow, I was shocked at how much lower he could fall, worrying about 21lakh mahr. Wasim is just as vile. How can we forget the two award winning mothers. Phufi who is constantly mera bacha mera bacha. Yet it did not register to her that within hours of Seher leaving he was in the hospital, unconscious. Even with his past anger etc. this has never happened. On the other hand, we have Kausar; I swear on all things holy I somehow loath her more each episode. Her child is in pain and all she can yap about is her school. There is a time and place for everything. And I swear I saw a small smile on her face when Seher asked her to wipe the Mahid book from her life. Your kid is getting treated and instead of worrying about that she is worried about school. Also Seher left for few hours before and this was her condition yet remember when she told you, he doesn't even let a thorn touch my feet? UGH. Maybe focus on her emotional well-being, so she is well enough to take her exam. UGH. I just hate them all.
Nazima needs to jump off something and again I swear on all things holy if they even hint at Mahid/Nazima track; I will start a campaign to shut that down so fast.
Now let’s talk about our babies. It took me 45 minutes to watch this episode because I couldn’t watch the beginning. There were floods of tears, covering my eyes and clenching my fist in pain and anger.
Everyone keeps saying Seher is free from her cage but I’m sure she never felt caged with Mahid. Yes, there were issues with his family members but never him. I have this before that if you husband in your corner then you will be fine in a home where all of you in-laws don’t like you. This is true in real life as well because you know he will stand up for you and care for you.
Even in pain they are so synced, remembering the same moments. The aesthetics of those two parrels scenes were gorgeous. In Seher memories, Mahid is the color and in his she is color of life. They paid for their love with blood. They are in pain together and they collapsed together.
This show has some great parrels and you all know I love some good parrels. I could have done without this one, etched and covered in their blood. All of their moments are now tainted. These horrible people took something pure and simple and turned it into a weapon and a crime. All of their emotions have been weaponized; Seher’s has turned into nafrat (hate) and Mahid’s into nasoor (open wound).
I have horrible streak of guessing on a show or a movie and being spot on. I had said the last few days he was going to do something crazy. I was not expecting this kind of self-punishment. He is so disgusted with himself for what he perceives as a crime. He is against underage marriage, but he was unaware; it was out of his control. Yet this man holds himself to such a high standard that he became his own judge, jury and executioner.
Mahid’s conversation with Tahir was heartbreaking. This man holds the world’s pain in his heart. He is so firm about his principles that he will destroy even himself to uphold them. I really really need Tahir to stick around more regularly. May be take Mahid to his home because I don’t want him in Niyazi Manzil. Everything is going to remind him of Seher and he will continue to torture himself.
On a side note, a little note for Mahid - Honey, she is 16 not 11 or 12. 16 year old girls understand things. It not like you were married to a child, she is almost an adult. (I'm not condoning child marriages) Just making a point that she is almost an adult not a preteen who doesn't understand good touch vs. bad touch.
The hospital room scene was hard to watch. Seher felt off as she soon as Mahid was wheeled into the room. Her blood pressure rose.
Both them fell so hard and fast in love that unfortunately they didn’t see the crash coming. They are in each other’s soul. First word in the morning out of Mahid’s mouth is Seher, unconscious it’s still Seher.
The precap is somehow just as sad. I am hoping Tahir will come in and tell Seher how Mahid ended up there, but I have a feeling it will be Phufi or Nazima. UGH.
I wish this Nazima misunderstanding gets cleared up so they both get some peace. In the future, I hope Seher learns the real reasons for the scars on Mahid’s back; and he learns about hers. I know these shows at some point gloss over these past moments, but I think it provides a core understanding and it will bond them further.
In conclusion, without saying there were a lot of tears today. I hope we move past this a bit quicker because I can’t watch them torture themselves. I’ll take angst and yearning but torture is hard to watch.
