Saeeda’s resillience

This episode begins with a happy-sad scene at the hospital as the newlyweds come to seek her blessings and do ayadat. Brought tears to my eyes, as was the intent, I guess. I like Saeeda, not just as a phupho, but as a person (apart from her embarassing encounter with Faizan). She doesn’t make a big deal out of her sickness, which is… aspiring I guess? Many people just give up when they hear the diagnosis: you’ve cancer. It’s not easy undergoing cancer treatment.

The Married Couple

Mina helping Sania with her jewellery etc even though she has fever. Shahnawaz is trying to taunt Salman about the difference in their choices: a doctor vs a receptionist (apparently Faryal, Salman’s love interest once was a receptionist and therefore unacceptable to the doctor family).

She’ll make you do what I haven’t been able to. Shahnawaz says

And on that note, the married life begins with a long argument.

Her: Don’t you know the manners of how to present the present?
Him: I don’t like how you played doctor as if nothing else matters.
Him: I don’t like smell of hospital.
Her: I don’t have time to follow your instructions.

Dono ko hi tameez nahin hai bhai do paise ki.

A Respite

Next day, they argue about the car, and the gift which she didn’t find funny, and the room situation that he’s not happy with. But that night, they both compromised a little with the light situation, so all iz well I guess. Cute scene thha.

Bahu-Sasur Face-off (Sorta)

So obviously the next scene is going to be dramatic, right? Ar breakfast table, Shahnawaz gives tickets to Salman, and Sania refuses to go on the honeymoon trip because of her exams.. Shahnawaz doesn’t like it, others are stunned and boy is Salman thrilled about this small win.

Ego bruised, Shahnawaz takes it out on Faizan, for his poor choice of picking Dr Ambar as Chief Administrator.

I’m not making scene just so people keep respecting you. Shahnawaz to Faizan.

Sab puppets hain for this guy.

On a side note, still on the breakfast table, Mina subtly warns Faizan about cheating but he says nothing.

Mothers

Zainab snaps at Sania for refusing to go on honeymoon. I don’t understand Farheen. She’s an experienced doctor but when it comes to being a saas, she either ignores Mina and her sufferings or just starts complaining to Sania’s family. Badi hi koi jahiloN wali harkat thhi. Education generally gives people some sense, I guess not this family?

More Romance

Salman argues with Saquib, his business partner, and in that frustration snaps at Sania. Sania gets upset, he apologizes, nice scene.

When they both get ready for walima, her heel breaks, he suggests wearing joggers, another romantic scene.

This drama is going good in terms of mixing romance with drama, just that drama is at times too blah. Like how Farheen whined like a typical saas, and how petty Mina was when she talked to Ambar. I understand her insecurities but boy was it uncomfortable to watch her talk to Ambar.

End Game

But leave it to Shahnawaz for ruining things for the couple. He gifts Audi to Sania, and plans for her future mentorship etc. Salman is none too thrilled about it all. And then he loses it all.

O teri!

Ab?
