CLOSING A CHAPTER.

(This one is about Tanveer and Aahil...been stalling it for some time. This is for U, vm17🤗)

Tanver Beig- A woman who hunted for a man to give her respectability- something she could never earn on her own. Lies, Deception, Cold blooded murder- There was no end to the devices she chose as she furiously pursued that evasive dream.

Four Men:

Imran Qureshi- Who had flown like a fly into her trap, but had escaped only because her attention had shifted on to greener pasture- The Lucky Guy.

Asad Ahmed Khan- The man who paid with his life and that of his family as he emphatically rejected her over and over again.

Gafur Ahmed Siddiqui- A repentant father who made a mockery of his whole life when he gave up his honour in exchange of the child he had abandoned once...

Nawab Raza Ibrahim: The moth to the flame- the man banished into a life of non existence as he succumbed to the charms of a wolf in sheep's clothing- swallowing her lies...acting on her advice..until one day he stumbled on her truth...and that cost him a large part of his life.

(Many a times I have wondered aloud here why the Nawab never featured in Tanveer's list of murders as she recapped all those horrible deaths she brought about...and now I have my answer! Resurrecting him was probably just a matter of convenience...but in retrospect, there never was a scene beyond Tanveer pointing the gun at him. So he was the last resort she had kept hidden...one cannot help but wonder why she did not put a gun to his head to get everything she wanted...or even use Aahil as a ransom...I suppose it can be explained away as her need for respectability...a position in the society.. . She did not want to be known as a plunderer...wanted to be the rightful owner of the wealth with all the respect that came as the black widow who took her husband's life to save her stepson from torture...and how proud she was when Aahil named that Street after her...she was on top of the world right then. For her, that one award was worth all the trouble she went through, I suppose)

Aahil has now closed a chapter in his life. Interestingly, he has not torn it off. He will not deny that it existed, nor will he ignore it. It is VERY MUCH A PART OF HIS LIFE...will always be. She is the mother he remembers...she might have devastated him, but he cannot forsake the memories of a mother who had been kind to an orphaned boy. How right was Sanam to try and break it to him as gently as possible...And Haya to have prayed for the strength for him to bear with the ugliest truth in his life.

Tanveer cleverly manipulated Aahil all his life to the extent of destroying him. She tried to corrupt his soul, pushing him towards all the vices..under the pretext of giving him freedom and liberating him. In effect, she was entangling him in a web...Never did she anticipate that love would make him break free.

Tanveer looked for love and admiration from different corners all her life. How ironical that the only person who cared for her ever was Aahil. Rehaan, her own blood was nauseated at her ugliness...he wanted to run away from her stench. Aahil, on the other hand, faced the worst ever fate at her hands..that of having been bitten deep , back stabbed at...and having to survive the biggest deception of all.

The trust was shaken, the illusion shattered. Yet he couldn't bear to see her die. The idol he had worshipped over years..the devotion that had piled up...He still couldn't hate her because of what she had meant to him once.

She had been selfish...conniving...evil...but she couldn't taint the image of motherhood even as she vowed to mutilate it and bury it. A strange tribute to motherhood, indeed...the one Aahil wanted to preserve, perhaps because she had built up on the foundations of his feelings for his birth mother. And so,we have Tanveer ranting madly, asking him to get lost...and the child she cast out holds on to her in her death...even as she spits at him. How small is Tanveer in front of that boy who cannot hold a grudge against her, even in the depths of sadness and dejection.

Did Aahil hold Tanveer above everything else? No.

He was devastated...resigned to his fate...the will to fight having gone at the sudden exposure...but concern for Sanam woke him up. He laid aside his pain and disappointments and ran to her rescue...and went on to prove that love could keep him going even when he was at his lowest... It was love triumphing over evil.

'Maa kabhi galat nahi ho sakti hai na?'...an innocent question another hero of Gul's asked when the woman he looked up to as his mother betrayed him. He did not retaliate...he was ever willing to forgive all her trespasses...only after he made sure he stayed out of her sight...the trust was not broken..it was just moving away to give space, so there'd be no further betrayals...with all respect.

Aahil went one step further. His trust was broken beyond repair...He knew he had lost a mother. Yet he forgave, and gave back...Goodness in return for the evil...THE BATTLE THAT TANVEER LOST!👏

Both these heroes- the other one being Sahir from Humsfaras and this particular dialogue being one of my favourite from the show- remind me of shades of Ram who left Ayodhya for his step mother...He loved her and respected her enough to move out of her son's way as soon as he realised he was the bone of contention. I actually liked Tanveer's end. I used to think Sanam 2'd bring about her end, but I feel it is good that she died in Aahil's arms. His forgiveness is a gift she does not deserve and can never pay back.👏

Disagree about the Nawab. The episode where he was revealed alive, they still used the old flashback where he talked to Tanveer and referred to Rehan in the nastiest of ways. That does *not* go with the *new* flashbacks of him being a helpless chap who would cry and feel bad.

It was hilarious to see the Sulaiman chacha flashback after we had just seen the older flashbacks in the previous episode. The one who beat Aahil and his demeanor with Tanveer is not of the new flashback seen. If a man was so "manipulated" and forced and tricked to behave that way, he wouldn't be behaving the way he did with the manipulator and tormentor, and neither flashbacks, his demeanor match with his new flashbacks.

I kind of just separate him now, as just a father, elderly figure now needed on the show. Glad that it won't be one where he is the main person of the house.

Soup. When he was revealed alive, we saw two flashbacks regarding to the character. It was first the Aahil lashing flashback starting from the time where the glass dropped, but not the full length we'd always seen. But still enough.

Then, came the flashback where he's with Tanveer. This too they didn't show the full flashback, but enough. He is choking her, being all nasty, telling he knows about her najayaz son and he will never get anything. No matter what, Aahil is still his 'khoon' and everything will be left to him.

The next episode they had Nawab's sob story and *new* flashback. His demeanor was completely different. He looked like and weeping, broken man, telling Sulaimanchacha he feels so bad for Aahil and to give the food the Aahil. --Meaning, Sulaiman chacha was requested and allowed by Nawab himself to show pity on Aahil during all his beatings.

My point is the two Nawabs do not match. Demeanor is completely different. There is no way that the man who is so 'helpless' in the new flashback with Sulaimanchacha, if he were so helpless could have behaved and talked such a way with Tanveer, the woman he says forcing him to treat Aahil the way he did.

No matter what explanation you try to give and pass the blame on to Tanveer, it doesn't fit. If it's that Tanveer held his two daughters over him blackmailed him, him being rendered helpless. The helpless, hapless man in the new flashback is not the nasty piece shown in the parts of the old flashbacks which they still played back for Nawab reveal.

If the excuse is that somehow Tanveer tricked him or coaxed him to beat and lash his son, well this makes no sense. And that's his fault and and not Tanveer. Last time I checked Tanveer's not the witch or the one can hypnotize people.

CS, i remember you post on the Nawab not being seen n when Tanveer was counting her victims and I said that's because she had served time for his murder. It seemed logical then.

Who knew this show would get extension and the Cvs would be waking up the dead to keep the story going?

I agree with KK.

The man in fb is not the man having small talks with Nayi Sanam. He was a powerful,arrogant man who abused his blind wife & little boy. .The backstory of him doing all that under duress makes me laugh. And he changed the will and showed Billi her place in one of the fbs, he wasn't weak then.

Making Tanveer the fall guy for weakness in every other character is a lazy way to develop other characters. I don't know why the want to make the Nawab a good character.He could have just come back as his old horrible self and that would have been more interesting. s2 can mesmerize anyone & make them do her bidding, so what's the point of making him good by giving an unbelievable backstory?

The loopholes here are similar to Haider's entry and Zoya's age mystery at the time of her mom's death.They are consistently inconsistent.

For me the ideal closure for Tanveer would have been Rehan disowning her publicly and walking away from the riches she gave him.

I liked the way they ended Ahil-Ammi relationship. He was a true son till the end and she the wicked woman till her last breath.He not just forgave her,he begged and gave her another chance at life,which she threw away.She could have found her daughter and started anew.
