Rushed Decisions: Epi Apr 16
The world judges me by the decisions I make,
Never does it see the options I had to choose from!
There are certain decisions that we make that change the course of our lives forever. One of these decisions is our choice of a life partner. Most of us have an option in choosing our life partners, and even if we don't, we hope that we have made a thoughtful decision after weighing other options.
The four main characters, two brothers and two sisters are also at such a juncture in their lives. Unfortunately, even though the decision might be right for all of them in the long run, they are being rushed into this decision making process due to external but unavoidable forces. At this point, it's not their choice but forced due to circumstances. That's why I think none of these engagements should happen.
Unfortunately, whenever we are forced into a decision like this, if things go wrong, we have a tendency to blame others, get upset, start hating life and we often stop living.
ASAD: One can sense his discomfort with this whole engagement fiasco. The way he resisted taking the ring from his ammi and his awkwardness when the immigration officer drops by are quite palpable. Even though, he went with the flow, called Zoya 'sweety' and answered all his questions, Asad's conscience is nagging him constantly. Such a person, even if pushed into a relationship with a woman he is attracted to, will never be satisfied or happy with the decision, because it was not made by him, rather the circumstances. So, is it fair to push Asad into such a big commitment? Dilshaad sensed his discomfort, but probably she has an inkling of Asad's true feelings and that's why, without forcing him, just handed the ring to him. She hopes one day, it would be Asad's choice and he would willingly give this ring to the woman of his choice.
ZOYA: Zoya is in complete denial mode right now. She doesn't realize that they have landed in a big soup. Instead of worrying about her visa and fake engagement issue, she is busy planning a gift for Ayaan on behalf of Asad. I think it's quite foolish and nave of her to brush off her own fake engagement with Asad as a theatrical performance. What she needs to do now is introspect, talk to Asad and decide what they want to do collectively. If Asad breaks off the fake engagement tomorrow, Zoya has herself to blame and no one else. She needs a wake up call. Come out of your dreamland, Zoya. Don't you remember what Asad said yesterday- he doesn't want to make a mockery of a pure relationship? Then why are you ignoring the reality and once again, venturing out into your dream world? Going to Ayaan's engagement is her escape from the real issue. Hope she learns to accept reality after this major fiasco that's about to happen.
AYAAN: For a change is acting responsible and hopefully, will embrace Humeira wholeheartedly and not blame others rest of his life.
HUMEIRA: Is in for a major heartbreak. Once again, this engagement is not her decision and that's why she is not in control of the circumstances. Yes, she wants it but Ayaan can become hers only when they both decide to get married, not because they are being forced.
TANVEER: After making a post about what an ineffective vamp Tanu ahs been, looks like her evil eye will show its true colors soon.
Symbolisms:
1. 1. Asad stares at the engagement ring and Tanveer appears in the background: BAD BAD SIGN!
2. 2. Zoya in Siddiqui mansion- a new beginning for her. She will hear the music box tomorrow. Life will never be the same for her again. I guess she needs this jolt so she can see the real world rather than live in her dream world.
