SPM~ MyMusings~ 31.5.19 ~ Matter of life and death
Why does true love. Sufiyana love haveto be expressed in words? can two people not sense this sentiment as a presence they share between each other? Seems that too much confirmation and emphasis is placed on the articulation of three words I love you! Whatever happened to the features of a need to be with each other? Feel their absence; share matters of common interest? Support each other in their highs and lows? .Are these not expressions of loving someone? What ever has happened to the fact, that one says the three words ,when one feels the need to say them, rather than be obliged to say them aloud? Does expressing or withholding the three words effect the nature, quality and value of love itself?
For Zaroon in the lift scene where both hold the ticking bomb. What remains a matter of life or death is his desire to hear whether Saltanat loves hm or not? It has always meant significantly to him. Does this stem from an underlying insecurity within him? Zaroon only thinks about one fact that he would not be able to survive without her. It did cross my mind that why did he not chose the option of taking the bomb off her! and asking her to run to safety! so she could live.. while he dies?
The elevator stops them from doing anything, other than lift them out of a current situation, and ascend them up to a higher spiritual realm. A universe where only their love would prevail. Yet their Sufiyana love as he sees it, ticks way like a time bomb. A challenging situation also ticks in the Syed Shah household! One that has the potential to turn dangerous and explode, if no safe and quick fix solution is found, to detonate this ticking bomb of their love!
For me there are some senseless bits in the episode. Like how the Dicken’s! does Saltanat end up with the bomb on her palms? Like Kainat tests her love. Will Zaroon come to rescue Saltanat like he leapt into the fire and saved her ?Well in this case, he certainly does more than just feel Saltanat's palms under the timed bomb! Zaroon repeats his song of love for her by using words that weave an idyllic world where only the two of them exist. His pleading demand from her in what seems to be the last moments of their lives.. is her confessional love words for him! Where Zaroon confesses he cannot survive without Saltanat. On the other,one panic stricken Kainat can only worry about Zaroon’s survival and not her sisters. For if one thing Kainat is not! a hypocrite!
Where the time bomb of Zaroon/Saltanat ticks away precariously in the shopping mall and transports them in a world of their own. At Shah mansion, too pockets of minor explosions erupt in various sections of the house between various people. The scene between Ghazala and Rubina is interesting. Mamoon said his bit , now Ghazala does the rest of the ground work. I suspect her husband has set her up to manipulate Rubina. To pressurize Rubina into doing what suits them. It’s no surprise Ghazala proposes, that if Rubina wishes to redeem her image before Mamoon, than she needs to dissuade Saltanat from marrying this Zaheer Ahmed! Deep down Rubina too want’s Saltanat with Zaroon together.. so she vows that this marriage will not come about. Zainab overhears all!
Eavesdropping ,spying! seems to be second nature to both young and old of the Shah family . By listening in on conversations. Many camps are by bombed with odd revelations! Such as, who are the relatives who cause craters in relationships and family unity.
Even holy places like the shrine it self is not safe from those who listen on to people’s communion with god. The scene between Zainab and Neelam is explosive where Neelam points out a blatant disparity that Zainab holds between Saltanat and Kainat.
Neelam uses her prior knowledge gathered from the skill of prying, snooping behind doors. Neelam winds Dadi up that Zainab is out to sabotage the liaison between Kainat and Humza as Zainab pray’s for Saltanat to approve .of Zaheer! so that Kainat can gain Zaroon. I can see two emotions in Neelam .One an age old loyalty for her cousin and friend Saltanat.The other, fury at both Zainab and Kainat for messing about with her brother Humza‘s emotions! Seems that a fresh new duo has turned viciously against Zainab. Perhaps Zainab can see the folly of her ways of demanding too much from Saltanat. Now Zaroon bears the brunt.
Dadi is right that Zainab had the choice to refuse Humza’s hand..but both mother and daughter decided to go along with the engagement. My concern is, will Dadi too pull out of the Humza Kainat alliance? If that does happen. Then where will Kainat stand? With Humza and Zaroon both dumping her? surely this will be an explosive situation, and knowing Kainat, she is likely to see Saltanat behind her downfall.. like whatever belonged to her, never got to her as Saltanat invariably got to it before she got to it !
It’s an ironical situation when Zainab prays to god, that may Saltanat accept Zaheer , because at that very point Zaroon and Saltanat are joined together by holding the ticking time bomb. Pledging their life and death to each other!
It’s funny how Zaroon mentions to Saltanat that love is not about falling for someone’s face or body..as both lose their beauty in time! That love is about the communion of two souls! Ironic! since he rejected Kainat totally on the basis of how she looked in the photograph. Without really knowing her enough ! he drew his conclusion that she was some prude, orthodox in mindset, subservient and submissive with no views of her own. It was all about how she looked!
The precap: is terribly interesting! where Zaroon aspired to proclaim himself and Saltanat as a consenting couple before their whole family.The time bomb of their love! will splash across the whole world! making them go down in the annuls of history…like a pair of tragic lovers who gave up their lives in their effort to save the lives of many innocent people?
However, one of the hardest thing both the unfortunate mother and daughter can do is read the signs of the times. That Zaroon only loves Saltanat and certainly not even anything closer to love, with Kainat. But it’s easier said than done. Kainat‘s source of life is Zaroon, as Zaroon’s is Saltanat! Thus , this for Zainab and Kainat is an explosive situation to accept ..the truth. it’s their souls blown away to bits! 1.6.19 hamlet53
