Which is worse? Betraying someone who trusts you or betraying ourselves?
The much anticipated episode is here at last. Wow, what can I say? The episode surpassed my expectations. It had a little bit of everything- romance, passion, chemistry, confession, craving and poignancy.
AsYa have never looked hotter than they did today. Karan and Surbhi did a great job with the song sequence. Karan, the master of romance had the most intense and passionate expressions as he tried to get closer to Zoya. Thanks to the bhaang, Asad could no longer hide his true emotions behind his cold exterior. He was on a high and gave us a glimpse of what Asad and Zoya can do to us when they are completely and openly in love. Zoya played the perfect temptress, who teased him seductively. It was a perfect set up for an outpour (no pun intended)
Asad was way too attracted when he saw his enchantress in a saree. He tried his best to avert his gaze from her, but finally gave in to her dimpled smile.
They laid out everything on the table. Nothing was hidden. They expressed how they each hated some of the quirks in each other. She called him egoistic, patthar-dil, heartless, mean emotionless and in return he called her badtameez, besharam, weird and a misfit. They laughed at each other's imperfections but revealed that despite all these imperfections, they liked each other.
My favorite part of the confession was Asad's monologue..
' agar aap itni badtameez hain tho aap mujhey itni achchi kyun lagti hain...aap mein itni kashish kyun hai...aap kyun mere andheron mein roshni .bankar aati hain...aap ke mere khwabon mein saaye kyun...kyun meri tanhaiyon mein khala daalti hain aap..."
Zoya, in her inebriated state, also blurt out her plan with Ayaan. She let him know that she had betrayed his trust for the sake of Rashid's protection. Of course, he hasn't registered this yet. Will he remember this when he wakes up? If you read my post yesterday, I was fearful about the consequences of this betrayal by Zoya. He has just started trusting her, but once he finds out how she played prank after prank to stall his presence at the court, how betrayed he would feel.
But what broke my heart today, was Asad's confession that although Zoya is the woman he is attracted to, he likes despite her imperfectness, is the light in his life, she is a MISFIT in his life. She is not capable of becoming a perfect wife to him, or for that matter to any other guy in this world. With that statement, Asad came down crashing in my opinion. Betraying oneself is the worst kind of betrayal. Zoya, even in all her lies, has never betrayed herself. She lies to others but never to herself. She lies to help or protect other people. That's why her conscience is always clear.
Asad on the other hand is betraying himself by denying himself and Zoya the happiness they deserve. In his quest for the perfect wife material, he will always be unhappy. He will always crave for Zoya and also keep his 'perfect' wife miserable. Did Zoya deserve to hear this? No, but I am glad she did and I hope she remembers this tomorrow. She deserves happiness in her life and a man who thinks she is not worthy of becoming his wife, is not worthy of her. What does Asad think she is? Someone he can lust after, romance with in the rain, but not fit to be his wife? She is not that kind of woman!
The PH loves to play see saw with our emotions. I can never take sides on a consistent basis when it comes to Asad and Zoya but today, I felt betrayed by Asad. Zoya doesn't deserve this, and neither does he.
I don't think, at this moment, anyone can convince Asad that Zoya is his perfect partner. It will take time for him to realize what Zoya means to him. She is not only the perfect woman for him, she is also the only woman who can rouse him, attract him, bring a smile on his face, invade his dreams and make him long for her.
Asad has a long journey ahead. He needs to go through the perfect Tanveer and then survive Ayaan's attraction for Zoya before he can claim what belongs to him.
Until then, Asad mian, I wish you a life of loneliness, unhappiness and longing.
Just hope it's not too late...kahin Ayaan baraat lekar na aajaye
