For those who don't know me, which could be most of you, name's Kankshita. I have never found myself inspired enough to participate much in the forum here even though life has been pretty Zindagized for some time. Nonetheless, I just finished watching the last episode of Maat and I am actually compelled here to write about it. 😳
I am moved to greater extents than I was hoping. You see, this last episode weaves together what seem like many aspects of life, life as Aiman experienced it and as Saman never could. It is an impactful synergy between all the things that make us believe in each other and those that eat up our ability to believe in the good in the world, if at all. It depicts this marked distinction between a good deed and a bad one and their respective results. More than anything, this last episode of Maat was all about the fact that really when we are old and grey, the mansion and the Ferrari hold little importance. It does not matter if we have been good to others or despicable to others all our lives, ultimately it is people and belongingness we seek.
I am gonna split the following content four ways into the four principal people I really wanna talk about, having watched the episode.
Faisal:
This man has set the bar of all things idiot very, very high. 😳 He's limited and selfishness pours out of every pore in his body. You look at his face, look at it and want to beat it to pulp. He is not evil like his lady love but simply the standard example of the entire fool-kind that needs nothing more than to look at the prettiest face in the vicinity and fall for it. Saman is more beautiful than Aiman even with graying hair, that's a given. But if you asked the man what else he liked about her he would have less in the name of an answer than my two-year old nephew would if someone asks him to integrate an equation. For all he cares, the twenty five years devoted entirely to him by Aiman could account for less than roadside Chinese we buy as a last resort on a Sunday night. The whole idea of Faisal is shameful and that's about it.
Saman:
She chases material satisfaction and her sole ambition in life is to have what she wants, whenever she wants and at whatever cost. And for that she ruined the better part of her sister's life, toyed with the life of a ridiculously dimwitted man who always loved her and destroyed the home of a happily married woman with kids and all. Most of all, I care more about the germs on my brother's shirt than she did about Hadid. Vile and conniving, there is never once a sign of a conscience anywhere to the being of her. Her soul, however cold, did cry real tears at the end of the episode though. For, she really was hurt. She can charm fellow shallow people of the world, namely Faisal and Azar but can she get love, which is her new ambition? She gets jack with a side of squat. So, the tears are real. An old woman cries out in loneliness. But I am guessing she is still too Saman-gets-what-she-wants to realize she deserves the pain.
Aiman:
Aamina Sheikh was phenomenal in the confrontation scene with Faisal. Her performance was so, so powerful. 👏 Aiman, after decades of silent obedience and hopeful gestures of love and loyalty and support gets caked in the face with divorce papers and alimony. She curses her husband, wishes he dies and well, as do we. She loved him, Rowling knows why. She devoted her whole, entire life to his and her bitch of a sister's child and that is how she's repaid. A woman so wronged, her cry so bitter and weight in her voice at long last, I was mostly crying at what she had with her own two hands, done to her life. She isn't selfless; she married Faisal knowing he didn't love her because she always did. But the sacrifices she has made are way beyond the bargain. She's drained and all she has is Hadid. All the time she thought he wanted her out of his hair would be the last time she ever has to be in such pain for the rest of her life. She married the wrong man but in his son, she bore characteristics of a right one. That is a hard, hard life but a life well spent.
Hadid:
I cannot imagine what it's like to come to know that your biological mother abandoned you when you were less than a year old, that she tossed you out of her conscious awareness like we toss garbage in trashcans. But I think I can, if at all only begin to, feel the anger when she has the cheek to return twenty five years later going all you-are-my-aulad on your arse. 🤔 Anyhow, this is all the more reason why Hadid has such a beautiful relationship with Aiman. She cannot gauge odes to their blood bond in his face but loving him, being his mother has been her own choice. Let's just say it was nice to see a child so loved evolve into a man who did not wrong his mother. It was pleasant to find that Faisal's son was exponentially smarter and kinder and more loving than him.
I have already written way too much. I am gonna conclude with a question. What do you think the end was about? It was rather thought-provoking.
