Now, when I think about it, it was all affection and attachment as I mentioned earlier. The attachment was there before marriage as cousins.. and post marriage it was husband wife wali affection. Him going all gaga seeing her in wedding attires and that dinner dress and all, it was JUST the beginning of the whole process of him falling for her which was a part of his development. It was attraction towards your life partner that usually couples develop for each other it is all natural. Then, things started to get more serious and both of them started to think about how they need each other.. again, it was only a part of the beginning of their love for each other. Then Ayna leaves.. and it ends for her as her monolgue indicated how bad she felt on knowing his thoughts about her.. there all was done for her.. according to me.. BUT Mohsin STILL was in the same phase.. since the "two-Mohsins" scene indicated.. that he felt bad.. for the first time ever.. he felt bad to point his fingers on her character.. he did it before as well.. but there he knew he was right.. here.. his instinct told him that NO, this time he was wrong. The 'Good' Mohsin told him he COULD be in love with her.. he didn't say yaasss you are .. cuz this actually was Mohsin's heart saying things aloud. He was about to fall in love with her.. but then she came back home on his demand and beem it all stopped again.
I personally feel that Ayna should have been away for a couple of days .. to actually finish this development phase of Mohsin to at least 50%.. he could have realized a bit more of her worth.. she was away for like.. 3-4 hours maybe ? And he got her back.. it' not enough. I wanted a separation track before leap.. but kher..
Again this is only my way of thinking .. it may have nothing to do with what writers actually intended to show.. lol
Wow, Ash, you are on fire! Seriously, these insights are great, and they seem like they really could be the missing link!
I said quite a few times in the other thread that I don't think Mohsin was in love with Aina at the time of his confession. He was in the process, just like "Good" Mohsin said--"You could be [in love] if you let yourself." You may be correct that he started taking for her granted which immediately cut off his development because he didn't "earn" Aina back.
And jasmine great addition! I agree, I didn't think MoNa had an argument in the first scene. In fact, despite everyone saying it was negative, I thought Mohsin was actually being a little vulnerable in saying that he's fearful as a father. I think you, like Ash, could be onto something akin to the missing puzzle piece with the facial expressions...but like JNAM said, there's such a thing as being "too subtle". There's a fine line between reading between the lines and grasping at straws. The writers really need to include something like Mohsin talking to Faraz on the phone and relaying his insecurities to him, or something like that. There needs to be some type of insight into what Mohsin is thinking, something more than that he's fearful as a father.
My little sister watches the show with me. We just had a conversation over the phone and the topic of this latest episode came up. I was quick to complain about Mohsin, but she asked me, "Does Aina love Mohsin?" And I didn't have an answer for her. What jasmine said about Aina not ever fully giving herself emotionally to Mohsin (or anyone, really) because of Maaz really could be haunting Mohsin and garnering this reaction from him, but again, we need some type of confirmation of that from the writers. It's like going to a symphony to see the world's best orchestra play without a conductor: nearly every piece is there to make something beautiful except the one piece that can pull it all together.
