Both male leads did something they didn't want to today, something they found difficult. Rahat braved his agoraphobia and drove out in search of Haya (OMG did he accidentally run over his wife !!? )
And Aahil stepped into a dargah. Something he NEVER did before. Because he watched Sanam and Rehan walk away and felt a sense of loss. And he fought his natural instinct and went against it. For Sanam.
(Ishq da rang hai nyaara... the song is haunting!)
Sanam is enthralled to finally see the place her parents met and their lives entwined. She prays for strength of spirit and willpower, to rebuild her dhaba, so she can once again take care of her Badi Ammi and Haya. To give her heart peace and to show her the right path. So that her parents would be proud of her. (Oh my AsYa feels!)
Rehan prays for Sanam's wishes to come true. He shares no relationship with her but she brings a peaceful feeling to him. For the first time he feels these new things, but only He knows where Fate would lead him to.
Aahil confides in prayer that he feels new emotions with her, emotions he never had before. All he knows is he can't see her hurt. He is touched by her tears in prayer, and gets up to follow her as she leaves.
A sage greets Sanam, by calling her Zoya. He tells Sanam of her mother's habit of coming there in times of difficulty. He advises her to be strong although they are no more, for they will be with her in spirit. (*cries* AsYa feels huuu!)
But there's more... She explains to Rehan ,that today was the day her father first saw her mother. (dying here! choke!sob!) She tells him how their relationship began with fighting, and after some time it evolved into an intense love. (grieving here right now! Waaah !)
Aahil hears all this and draws parallels to their own relationship: beginning with fights and animosity, wondering if this is heading in the way of Mohabbat.
"Kaun jaantha hain, yahan bandh ni vala kaunsa dhaga, kab kisi dusra dhaga mil jaye, aur dono ki naseeb ek hojaye"
Who knows, whose wish-strand tied here will meet with its pair? And their two fates become one...
As Aahil very determinedly ties his strand, he finds Sanam on the opposite side, her strand bound to his. (with haunting bg tune Qubool hai...)
(OhmyGod. I've to stop and scoop my melted self off the floor now...)
Sanam tries to unbind her strand but he stops her, his fingers halting hers, his eyes earnestly seeking hers.
'Now that the strands are bound, please don't separate them. If you pull them apart they might break...and broken strands are bad omens'
Sanam walks away without saying anything. And Nida pulls out the dhaga... ( I'm pretty sure she pulled out the wrong dhaga! LoL! rewatch and you'll see what I'm saying! *skippinghappily*)
*~*~*
Loved the use of Piya milenge (from Ranjhanaa) for Rahat's search and rescue of Haya. For him to go out and save someone is like a small redemption of sorts for the guilt he obviously feels over his wife's accident.
Precap : Rehan catches Sanam from faling, and Aahil is quite unhappy about it. Nida confronts Sanam and calls her out for trying to steal her fiance... Some major confrontations ahead!!
p/s: I case you're wondering, I really enjoyed the episode ! But still scooping my melted self off the floor. *bliss*
