So today's episode had some really good scenes. For me, 3 scenes stood out.
One was of course the Farah confrontation scene.The way she said "Mangni to duur ki baat, mein to iski shakal dekhne ko bhi tayyar nahi hun," and his responding expression... It felt like all the hopes and dreams he had dared to dream about Farah after she recently started talking to him came crashing down inside him.
Second scene was between Moulvi sahab and his wife. He bought the sleeping tablets because he thought they wont be able to sleep that night because of happiness. Instead they now needed those same tablets to escape from sorrow 😒. The sleeping tablets will become a regular part of their lives from now on. I always found Moulvi sahab's concern about his wife very touching. Especially when it almost always looked like he was trying to take his focus away from his own fears and sorrow by focusing his concerns on his wife instead. On the other hand, his wife shows her concern about Afzal through anger. None of them say it outright to him how much they love him. I guess once your children are grown up it becomes harder for parents to express emotion too.
Third scene was at Sajid's house. First of all, it shows again how firm Afzal is about his principles. Even after being so disgraced at her hands, he did not divulge her name in front of his friends. Even Sajid said, "Kuch to bata do jisay sun kar lagay tum mujhay dost samajhtay ho." Afzal again refused to tell any detail. I felt really bad for him when Sajid said Ammi Abba se maafi maang lay, and he replied, "Phir maafi?" The poor guy seems to be apologizing to his parents every time he faces them. 😆
This scene also tells us how helpless Afzal is when it comes to Farah. When he says, "Lekin mein kya karta, Sajid? Dil agar bewafai karay to bewafai karni parti hai." Meaning he preferred taking his parents there and hearing a No rather than never trying for her at all, even when he knew chances of a No are huge. By listening to his heart, he cheated on his parents.
While Sajid was being his usual friendly self, advising him from his own break up experience that "50% se zyada muhabbatein maa baap ke haath jorney pe toot jati hain", Timmy was also helping him in his own way - "Apni muhabbat fast kar. Khat se nikal aur SMS try kar. Koi aur dhoond. Usay maa baap ka itna khayal tha to muhabbat karte waqt apni Amma se pooch leti ke kar loon?" 😆
And of course it totally breaks my heart when Afzal cries in the end. 😭 His friends have no idea how deeply he is hurt. Because he never told them.
In addition to these three scenes, the scene where Arifa tells him to not say anything until their father says something, warna maaray jaogay. And he replies, "Maara to gaya hun. Abba phir maareingay kya?" 😒 I guess nobody in his family really realizes how much Farah's response has affected him. They of course have no idea how he had been idolizing her for so many years. The scene where he is walking home alone in the rain showed how alone he was, just because he couldn't share his real sorrow with anyone, neither family nor friends, nor Farah herself.
Oh and we did get some important references to the 'letters' in this episode. Afzal's dialogue ke aaj uskay saaray khat jala doonga has a bearing on whatever he felt today, and why he doesn't tell anyone about them. But no use talking about them at this point 😉
