I am mad at Abu Bakar. And I seriously need to calm down.

That’s how I ended the review for the last episode.

And this episode made it WORSE.

A montage of 3-4 scenes and we are now to believe that Abu Bakar had always been in love with Zaryab. Oh, did I ruin the episode for ya? Did I upset you? Get in line. I’m upsettest.

Yes, so when Zaryab keeps pestering Abu Bakar to talk about the woman he loves (and hasn’t broken up with), he says: “kyu ki tum hi, bas tum hi ho, meri aashiqui bas tum hi ho…”

Excuse me? Bhai Jaan? You threw tantrums when your mum asked you to marry Zaryab. True, you may have been conflicted given her “relationship” with Zamil but no way would I buy A fella for Z in first sight. No way.

And then there’s Zamil who’s questioning everyone who questions him. He showed his true colours just by talking the way he did about Hamna: usey uski auqat ze zyada mil gaya hai.

The only good thing about the episode was the real green flag Arham who tried to calm down Zamil, repeatedly asked to treat the wife with respect and kindness.

And then there was Shamsa seeking approval from Kishwar Jahan: kya main achhi maan nahin hoon? Kya maine betiyon ki sahi tarbiyat nahin ki?

(This was because of usual Faryal BS. She hasn’t learned her lesson and is still picking fights with Shuja)

I was like, why are you asking Kishwar Jahan? Her own son drinks and has little respect for anything.

Btw, I don’t like this: men and orderly women putting all the blame on tarbiyat. Har bande ka apna okhapan bhi hota hai na?

I am mad at the way things are going in this story. And I seriously need to calm down. It’s just fiction, it’s just a story, it’s just a drama. I need to calm down.

Cultural phenomenon people are calling it. That’s too much, really.
