So when this song started playing, I was like 'Nooo..I want Noor-e-Khuda' but as it progressed, each and every word of it's lyrics SCREAMED of Asad and Ayaan's agonising pain of separation at the thought of never meeting each other again.
The silent telephone conversation today was rather tearing because I had really expected them to have that one last cheesy goodbye conversation. But even that didn't happen. They called each other up and didn't even talk remembering their respective mothers' words. The way these two cried on the phone made me cringe so bad! At that moment, I wanted to jump inside the screen and just make them MEET each other. When I see the kind of yearning these two have, I can't help not being able to see them apart. And here, the fact that they won't meet again was killing them. With every minute I saw something die inside them.
The flashbacks cleared things up a little bit at least about how these two became so close. If adults weren't enough, Asad's and Ayaan's kiddie versions just made me feel worse. Little children only know how to love. Emotions like hatred, dislike, greed, revenge come later when they're exposed to the world which doesn't allow their innocence to exist. Had Asad and Ayaan met at adolescence, I'm sure such a bond couldn't be formed. But they first met when they were only kids, when their heart was pure and knew how to love without conditions. We saw that instant click between the two of them when they were left alone in the room.
They were once separated when little with Ayaan crying uncontrollably in his father's arms and Asad running behind the car despite his mother's best efforts to restrain him. But they found a way out and met in secret. However, today their secret is out and giving their word to their mothers, they cannot go back on it this time. I don't know when and how they'll meet again but I am preparing myself for some painfully heartbreaking moments as they miss each other. I can already feel that emptiness creep in Asad and Ayaan. Till they meet, they cannot be complete again.
Nikhat is a darling. She has to be given more to do because the character has potential and so does the actress to pull it off. If Asad and Ayaan can keep their relationship a secret for her sake, she too cannot stay happy seeing both her brothers so miserable without each other.
To make it an episode dedicated to the Khan siblings, we finally got to see Nuzrat and Najma properly as well even if it was just for 5 seconds each!
P.S. Asad was such a jerk to Zoya, man! Felt really bad for her. She seemed genuinely hurt as somewhere, she's grown to be fond of him. When Asad gets to know the truth, he better make it up to her well! But seeing the last scene (before Zoya's monologue) and the precap, seems like that won't happen. I apologise in advance if this offends anyone but this is precisely why I can't seem to ship AsYa to the point of being a fan. I do like them and their nok-jhoks are entertaining to watch but there has to be a time for everything. Every time I see some intensity creeping up in this couple, I get that hilarious BG and some silly bicker and banter. There is no continuity of moods and emotions to them when it comes to each other. It makes it very hard for me to take them seriously. Please feel free to differ and if you can change my opinion, I'll be the happiest of all!
