Hamna’s Dramabazi

Hamna’s drama was over within two sentence.

“She’s my cook’s daughter,” Abu Bakar says.
“But I love you,” Hamna says.

Game over. Khushbakht could have talked to Abu Bakar about Hamna instead of ordering him to come home like this.

Just then, Dilawar, Abu Bakar’s cook, calls and informs that Hamna is missing. Dilawar knows there’s a guy, but he doesn’t know the guy is Abu Bakar. Abu Bakar promises to help, but he can’t tell Dilawar: teri beti bhag kar mere paas aayi hai.

Women from the neighbourhood come to see Khushbakht, congratulating Abu Bakar but he refutes all allegations, not that aunties would listen. Mithai ka bol kar hi gayin.

Flashback

We see how Dilawar sought Abu Bakar’s help for fixing a guy who’s after Hamna (Salman’s driver’s son Abraz). Abu Bakar deals with the situation sensibly.

Abu Bakar talks to Hamna alone.

Abu Bakar to Dilawar: Aap ki beti meri behnon ki tarah hai.

It was a blackmailing situation that Abu Bakar has handled well, and gives a pep talk to Hamna to study hard and be something in life. So, she thought, hey, iski wife banne ka drama karti hoon.

Dilawar asks Abu Bakar’s permission to bring Hamna to stay with them for doing +2. DANGER. DANGER. SAVE YOURSELF. To cut a long story short, Abu Bakar gets a card in the drawers: I Love You.

Friends get-together at Abu Bakar’s house. Hamna brings tea, and the friends gawk at her. Abu Bakar sends her back: bachhe, you go, we’ll take tea ourselves.

The next day, he sternly tells Dilawar to shift to quarters with Hamna. I adore the strength of  his character.

This episode had some kufriya kalmaat (as is the case with Umera Ahmed characters). Zaryab is still worried about Zamil, and I got a feeling even the younger sister has some idea what Zaryab and Zamil have done. Zamil is back, though, so…

Aap ki Izzat Epsiode 11 and this one, both had 50% flashback. But overall good.

Salaam!
