Azaad-Mahira lovestory is going bullet train speed. They went from "I Love You" , to "I may have feelings for you too" to misunderstanding in 2 episodes.
Azaad cries heartbrokenly as he doesn't know what to do with Mahira being trapped in stone. He is beside himself with grief and he speaks of his love for her aloud. His tear falls on Mahira...

Mahira heals ! The spell is broken and she is awakened. But she in unconscious and he carries her back home. Elsewhere, Ifreet is also rejuvenated and KB realizes Azaad has saved Mahira yet again.
Azaad felt happy with the power of his newfound love. Peer Baba's words give him temporary strength, but in a moment of self hate, he condemns himself to separation from her. He still believes he would be the worst thing to happen to her, and he should distance himself. He vows to rid her of the danger that plagues her, even if it is himself.
Mahira awakes, and immediately tries to figure out what happened.
Immediately she goes in search of Azaad, whom she runs into almost immediately, but he avoids her. This time even Amaad's flirtation doesn't distract her from him. But she gets the closed door in her face.
She didn't rest there...
<She too has some "mind palace" recall moment, where intense concentration revealed hidden memories..LOL" >
SO...
she knows Azaad loves her.
and she feels like she feels the same...
She goes back to his room and wakes him up. He wakes up with a half hearted protest for her to leave. But she confronts him straight off the cuff.
Are you in love with me too?

<Whoa... interesting choice of words.. Immediately implies that she feels the same way.. >
She stands there telling him she feels the same, and to please admit that he loves her too. She is stubborn through all his excuses and prevarication,
Why are you denying it??
SHe can't see the panic in his eyes. What he wants is so close and he wants to accept it so badly. But willpower is his middle name. (other than Iqbal) and he pushes her away.
He insults her...

Look at yourself in the mirror...you think I could fall for someone like you?
One falls for beauty, not someone like you.
There might be a school for the blind somewhere, where someone could love you...
Don't presume I will ever love, because I never did or ever will... Now get out...
<WOw.. that was harsh. Telling her she was too ugly for him was outright horrible. To a girl who was very pragmatic and practical about herself, her self confidence is her biggest defense from mean people that surround her... This blow is downright awful>
She hurts badly ... and then she spots a woman.. in Azaad's bed. (Amaad planted her there to sabotage his brother's good rep with Mahira)...
Dressed in a hot pink sexy dress, she is the exact opposite of Mahira. And he dug it in.
Look, she is my type. Not you. you are now interrupting me. I still want to spend more time with her... Get lost!

That clinches it. Mahira runs away to pick up the pieces of her courageous heart.
KB sees her, and plots with Razia (who is now Naser Khan's Razia Bhaji- Don't ask, these things happen somehow on QH)
I smell a wedding coming soon.
An Angst and Hate and Misunderstanding filled wedding...
Bring it.
I wasn't crazy about the ultra speed love story... but I like angst so I'm OK.
Pre cap: Mahira leaves Khan House, and Azaad watches her go sadly.
On to my title: Yeah... Azaad feels he is dangerous and unworthy of Mahira... but he makes her feels like Sh*t about herself being unworthy of him. And he doesn't have the guts to protect her from the freakish death traps that surround her, but just sends her away instead.
Love is empowering, not something to hide.
Especially when the girl is gutsy enough to come and tell you she loves you too.
Shame.
And the mischief maker Amaad. Hasn't let go of his vendetta, getting innocent Mahira hurt in the middle.
p/s: newbie Sameer entered. Saved Kainat from Amaad like a Hero. Daddy approves too. Good.
