My two cents on the whole if it's love or not conversation.
They have been married for a month and possibly known each other for about a month so total of 2 months. So is love possible in this short time?
I believe so. Some people find love young and it lasts decades. Some wait and never find it.
Initially it was definitely curiosity from both of them. They had never encountered someone like the other. After that it was basic human decency, basic care you would offer another human who was in trouble or pain.
Mahid fell for her first. I think as he was around her; even though his grandfather made the decision for the marriage; he could see a future with her. Mahid has had time to sit with these feelings and they are run deep. Seher on the other hand fell harder. She really didn't get to know Mahid till after the marriage especially the essence of who he is and what makes him tick.
I think Seher thought he cared for him deeply but she didn't think it was love till Kausar said it. Kausar called it puppy love but the depth is much deeper and I don't think Seher fully understood her own feelings till the Nazima drama.
So in short, I think the love is real and they just didn't understand the depth of it till it was too late.
