Hopes, Expectations, Promises & New Beginnings: Oct 11
After a long time, it was an episode worth making a post on.
Hopes: That will be shattered
Nikhat- After a whole year, has finally entered Haseena's house as a newlywed. As we all know, her hopes shall get shattered soon. Farhan seems reluctant to fulfill the role of a husband. Is he already married? Is he gay? Well, I guess time will tell us.
Asad: After a long wait, is hopeful that he shall get reunited with Zoya but as we all know, this shall not happen that easily.
Humeira: Ayaan gave her the hope and reassurance today but how long will this last?
Zoya: I almost cried in that scene when Zoya wanted to follow Asad as he walked out of the house. She was hopeful that soon after the nikaah, he would take her home. Out of all people, her hopes shall be shattered the most in the coming days.
Expectations: That shall not be met
Ayaan: He expects to take Zoya to her house' that night. Unfortunately, that old wound will decide to flare up just at the most inappropriate time. Is this muqaddar? Yes, it is but not because Zoyaan is meant to happen but because Zoya has to find her roots at the SM- that's what muqaddar wants.
Promises: That shall be broken
Ayaan: Will break his promise to Asad, Zoya and Humeira
Asad: Will break his promise to Zoya
New Beginnings:
Amongst all the above negativity, there are a few positives that herald a new beginning..
- Zoya's entry to SM has initiated the process of uniting the two families. Shireen thanked Asad and dadi, for the first time blessed her oldest grandson. The best part of her blessing was her dua for Asad. Just like Dilshaad blessed Zoya to get what she wants, dadi had the same blessing for Asad.
- The two sisters, Najma and Nikhat shall finally bond as sisters/sisters in law but Haseena bi better watch out.
Symbolic scenes:
- The gift scene: Just as Zoya is about to pass the gift to Asad, Ayaan comes and intercepts the gift. Therefore, just as Zoya is about to go back to Asad, Ayaan will create a situation that prevents that. Ayaan and Zoya then gifted the box as a couple to Nikhat. That means, they will have to maintain this faade of a couple for some more time. That doesn't mean, they will start having feelings for each other. That just shows they are trapped in this natak for a longer period. Asad gave a semi dirty look to Ayaan when he snatched the gift. Are we going to see the beginnings of the much awaited clash because of this delay?
- Haseena's statement: She talked about badhe log with daag on their daaman' What an irony- she is a woman who has choti soch' with her whole daman that is daagdaan' We will probably have a lot of scenes about daags in damans in coming episodes.
It's a long road ahead, but eventually as we all know, good shall prevail over evil and true love shall prevail over the hypocrisies & rituals of the society. As I have said it many times before, just hang in there. The PH makes it a point to establish the OTPs in almost each episode, so let's not worry too much about changing affections.
