The episode opens in the same frame where the previous one left off: farheen asking Salman: “what will happen when I’m gone?”. It is evident that she probably has some ailment but doesn’t talk about it. Panicked, sort of, Salman promises to meet Sania.

Sania is rude, as always. Salman was no saint, either but I felt Sania was wrong here, and let’s be honest: I haven’t liked her since the first scene.

Salman: Doctors ko maseehai milti hai, khudai samajh lete hain.

I didn’t like how she suddenly apologized, without even a moment of introspection.

That water scarcity wala scene with Sania’s colleague, I didn’t understand its relevance.

What’s up with the moving camera when they are talking? Uff, gave me a serious headache. Sometimes I seriously doubt the creative choices made by directors.

Mina learns that Faizan is lying to her and is probably having an affair.

Salman lies to Farheen about meeting Sania. When Sania meets Farheen accidentally, she tells a different story. These two are so immature. But I liked how Farheen slapped Salman in irritation. She might be abad mother-in-law but she’s good to Salman.

We see a glimpse of frustration on Farheen as she watches a clip of Shahnawaz’s interview. She doesn’t like her husband’s superiority complex but treats Mina like a napkin and is planning to treat Sania the same way. The irony is so lost on her and it makes me want to scratch her eyes right out. Or maybe I just want to do that to my bosses.

Sania can’t stop thinking about all the meetings with Salman, when she’s driving, or trying to study. I was able to relate to her, strangely. When I’m working, I keep thinking about all the stories I am yet to finish writing. I have at least 6 notebook a full of ideas. When I’m writing, i can’t stop thinking about the household chores piled up to the roof. And when I’m down to bed for much-awaited sleep, I start reliving the office hours and come up with snappy (snooty) responses to my colleagues’ incompetence. Not all of them are morons but those who are win the day those who aren’t. Aise mauqo pe shayar ne kaha hai: ya dil na diya hota ya ghum na diya hota.

Bahot khush naseeb hote hain woh log jinke maan baap har waqt un ke liye duaen karte rahein.

True that.

Sumaira’s rishta is fixed with some Sharjeel guy and Sania has also said yes to Salman so I guess kapde banane ki tayyari shuru karni hai hum sab ne.

Review

Alag se review section always indicates I have more to talk about. I love Saeeda. Sure, she was annoying when she tried to setup Sania with Faizan but her protective phupho energy is so good. It is also rare to see because generally phuphos are shown as vamps. Not this one, and i love it.

Have I said Shuja Asad’s voice has a calming effect on me? He might be a mama’s boy and a flawed character by design but can we give him more lines please?
