Mastan Singh readies to attack someone, presumably Hilmand for doing ghag because he has promised Gul Meena to protect her. His knife is sharpened, and he’s dressed up to leave.
But Zargoona stops him. Mastan Singh is shocked to see Harshali sitting with Zargoona; she has come to invite Mastan Singh to bid goodbye to Guru Bakhsh who’s last time has come.
Guru Bakhsh asks Mastan Singh to marry Harshali. The moment he says yes, he dies. I don’t know why I felt emotional. I don’t generally cry.
Sheherzade and Marjaan talk again. Sheherzade wants to stay to research about ghag while Marjaan doesn’t want her to stay. But he does let her stay.
Sheherzade talks to Hikmat but Hikmat doesn’t tell her much, except that Hilmand lives at the graveyard and that Hilmand’s father is dead.
We see Hilmand with his rhyming poetry again. It was such a well-written scene but then Hilmand finds out that Guru Bakhsh has passed away.
And so does Marjaan. Both are shocked to hear the news. And we wonder why.
Hilmand and Marjaan come face to face yet again. Their conversation is always like a match, a match that can go either way.
It has been two days since ghag but Zargoona hasn’t asked for a jirga.
This episode clarifies something from the past, that Mastan Singh had killed Asadullah over a small dispute; and that Marjaan had took poison from Guru Bakhsh presumably to kill Nasrullah. This drama is so twisted. Every episode unravels a mystery and then starts a new one.
Did Hilmand do ghag just to end it once and for all? Or is it just a revenge strategy?
