But then Badar’s vision doesn’t support a consummation either na. He or the writer gave him the line that “Mohabbat nahi ker sakoon ga main” to MJ. Then his distance and aloofness when she confesses to him. The immediate and convenient lack of trust the moment they come back. The veiled threats, “Sab ko barbaad ker doon ga. Sab ko..” Him still siding with ONLY Ayra “Ayra ke ilaawa Mujhe Sab pe doubt hai.”
I think the most accurate depiction was the last memory of MJ - the heels wala scene. She’s confessing and romancing , he’s not making eye contact, really distant and cold. His kindness and politeness is there but there’s no reciprocation. When he supports her, she’s taken aback but his reaction is normal/flat. That scene is really well performed and kind of bittersweet. Added to the tragedy of MJ for me.
Their relationship was still in its infant stage of trust building before things went to hell. But yes the comfort was building between them and Zaid had let go of his previous harsh judgement of her to some extent. Hence the comfort in the rain scene. Which he regretted the moment he came back 🤦🏻♀️ Even in the last scene of them you can see he still doesn’t trust her. Despite her bringing her walls completely down.
I would go with this headcanon but it would completely destroy both their arcs for me so I just can’t 😂😂😂 In my head it would make Zaid even more of a jerk to both women than he was already. Not to mention out of character - his loyalty to Ayra despite their problems was pretty constant and sincere. And it would also mean rewarding MJ for manipulating the trust building between them instead of being real and honest with him. And I can’t 😭 Because ultimately, she did betray him.
If I have to make a headcanon it would probably be changing the entire arc of MJ post Turkey 😭 The redemption, growth and honesty I wanted to see but I never got. Her drawing the line somewhere. Fighting for what’s true, helping bring Rayyan down instead of covering for him. So much could have been done 😤 I’ll forever stay mad about that. To have a character like MJ and not use her and show this kind of growth was a crime. She stayed insecure about societal pressures and what Zaid might do to her till the end 😡
