Mitti De Baway Episode 10 Written Update and Review

Salaamu!

Starts with ayat-ul-kursi.

I don’t think I said this before, but do y’all remember how she presented her case in front of Pir, of how pious she was, and her marhoom husband and in-laws were wrong.

Pir’s daughter Zehra was there, so Billo has a reason to stay there. Pir suggests Billo to leave, but she refuses, even proposes:

Sarkar Sayeen, aap mere mehram ban jayein.

And Pir saab agrees.

Zareena keeps torturing Kausar and Joji. She thinks that Baala is married to and living with Billo.

Baala is planning for his family’s future, a shop for Joji, gold and jewellery for others… He wants to meet Ghulam Rasool because he took the blame (of killing Nazeer and his two cousins) upon himself. But… Ghulaam Rasool is dead (killed or died? don’t know).

Baala meets Ghulaam Rasool’s family and is…stunned to see the widow Qamrunnisa (Hina Afridi). Like literally stunned, so much so that he doesn’t want to leave. He offers Qamrunnisa to help in lipayi (to daub the walls and roof of her small house; daub, a new word I learned just now), he offers to bring someone else to do it, and then he asks for tea. The look on Qamrunnisa’s face said it all. It was almost as if she knew what Baala’s intentions were and she agreed to make tea for “the guest”. I don’t know what it was, but today’s episode’s writing and direction both impressed me, immensely, which is unusual, especially in the state of mind I’m currently in: perpetually annoyed and willing to kill someone.

This is followed by a flashback of how Qamrunnisa met Ghulaam Rasool and married him.

And now Baala can’t stop thinking about Qamrunnisa. It doesn’t help that his wife does everything to push him away. Long story short, iss episode mein ek nikaah hua (Billo and Pir saab), ek agli mein hoga (Baala and Qamrunnisa)…
