tum hamse na kuch kah paye
lagta hai dar ye bat ye dil ki
dil me na rah jaye
- movie Ziddi
"Aap meri zindagi se kab rukhsat hongi?"
"Apne naam
ka nameplate lagwaa leejiye darwaaze par!"
"Aap jahan
jaati hain, museebat khadi kar deti hain."
"Agar
aapko is mulk se itni problem hai, tho wapas kyun nahin chali jaati aap?"
"Aap mere
ghar ke liye misfit hain. Aap meri tho kya, kisi ki bhi bahu ban ne ke laayak
nahin hain."
They both
remember everything he has ever said to her. She made it a point to remind him
that he has always wanted her to leave, and finally she is leaving, this
country and his life, forever. Then why isn't he happy? Why isn't he looking
forward to her departure? Why is he dreaming of confessing to her that he wants
her to stay? He doesn't know why he wants her to stay, but he does want her to
stay. Asad, a man, who is very clear headed just like his neat room and desk. A
man who revels in facts, the truth and honesty; who gets upset when people
fumble or lie to him, hates cluttered thinking is currently the most tangled
person in his household.
Dilshaad is
very clear- she wants Zoya to stay because she has become so attached to her
and loves to have her around.
Najma- loves
Zoya as a sister and hates to see her go that soon.
Tanveer: of
course is on a mission and would rather see Zoya leave ASAP. She has even made
remarks about how her visa is going to expire and no one should try to hold her
back.
Zoya: A woman,
completely distraught by the incidents of the last few days really wants to
stay back. She loves Dilshaad as her own mom, Najma as her own sister and
Asad..yes, of course she loves him more than she realizes. That's why her gaze kept
traveling back and forth to park itself at Asad's direction as she spoke to
Dilshaad and Najma. As if she was searching for answers, expecting to see a
glint in his eyes, hoping to hear those three words from him 'ruk jao Zoya'
Yes, he said
those three words, but to himself, in his dreams. Remember, he had said, "aap
mere khwabon mein saaya bankar kyun aati hain?" He dreams about her day and
night, but just hasn't mustered the courage to make these dreams real.
Couldn't you
read it in her eyes, Asad. She really wanted to hear it from you. Zoya is
right. She has no right to stay back, she is a guest, just a relative of a
distant acquaintance, and she needs to go back. Najma and Dilshaad can ask her
to stay for a few more days, but she doesn't want to be a perpetual guest in
this house. Asad, do you have the courage to ask her to stay back forever? Can
you give her the right she deserves? You love her more than you will ever love
any other woman. You have practically lived like a married couple the last few
months, then why is your thinking so warped right now?
Thank God, Asad
acted on his instincts. Of course, it would have been ideal if he had confessed
directly, but Zoya knows Asad well. She knew all along what he wanted to say,
that's why she even threw those barbs at him, hoping to hear a counterattack
from him. Perhaps, just like the cheesecake, he might just surprise her and
say, "Zoya'I want you to stay." She didn't expect him to say anything more. For
her, just his desire to have her stay back is enough validation that he cares
for her. That's why the employment letter came as relief to her. Zoya has
learnt to accept Asad as he is. She didn't call him emotionally challenged
today, didn't yell and say,"why can't you say, you care?" For her, his actions
have started speaking more than his words. As their relationship grows, they
will probably never need to say things directly to each other. They will
resolve their issues themselves, learn how to read each other's actions and
intentions and hopefully, never let anyone else interfere in their lives.
So, Tanveer's
first plan is about the backfire thanks to the employment letter. Hope Zoya can
continue to understand her Mr. Khan and not get swayed by external forces.
Loved the
episode, especially the AsYa scenes. KSG and SJ's scene in the bedroom was the
highlight for me.
Predictions:
1.
Ayaan will now refuse the
nikaah because he cares for Humeira? He wants her to marry someone who loves
her as much as she loves Ayaan? I am not sure I understand that logic but looks
like that's how Ayaan is thinking.
2. I wish we had no SBS/SBB
segments. I would have loved to predict how Tanveer would be defeated in her
evil game by Asad's employment letter but I guess we have more
misunderstandings to come. Hasn't Tanveer taken a big risk here? What if Asad
had confessed his feelings to Zoya and proposed marriage to her? Tanveer would
have a hard time breaking that alliance in such a short time, especially given
the fact she is pregnant.
