To claim that you love a woman and then expect her to leave behind her dignity, self-respect and responsibilities to come with you... is utterly preposterous!
Why should Dilshad even make this sacrifice for this man? Yes, she's emotionally very vulnerable at the moment, presumably tired of this constant tug of war situation between her mind and heart... but Rashid? For all the guts he gathered from his son's act is this what it has come to? True... even copying is an art!
Rashid is apparently conveniently forgetting that SM has never been his house but Shireen's! The people staying there are Shireen's brother and sister-in-law and he had fallen into their trap... The man who couldn't hold a say in deciding a future for his own daughter, on what basis he's making this outrageous suggestion, i fail to understand! Can he even ensure and promise an iota of respect to Dilshad in that house? Is he even capable of taking care of her and standing up for her to say the least? Did he even think about the consequences? He could never put a leash on Shireen's poison laced tongue before, did he even think what Dilshad would have to face if she stood in SM for even a moment, forget about coming and staying with them?
And why should Dilshad stay there? She has her home, her life... her kids and this man wants to uproot her now, in this phase of her life!
Frankly speaking... I don't see Rashid can ever make amends... he can never make up for the lost time... Asad and Najma are grown-ups now, Asad's childhood was lost... the better part of Dilshad's life was spent in fending for herself and her kids... they have shared a fair deal of societal stigma before her son managed to take the reigns and gain a respectful foothold taking care of the responsibilities that his father was suppose to take care of. If really Rashid wanted to undo his doings... the only thing he could do was work to get his son's forgiveness and acceptance, which in itself is quite a steep task!
