Binge watched the 2 episodes this week 🥹
I think my MOST favorite development has been the bond between Zarnab and her dad. This is such a progressive and refreshing take on the father daughter relationship. The way he just GETS her. The way he knows keh even though she has “settled” for Faris, this decision is a compromise and isn’t making her happy like she deserves to be. And him noticing the change in her while she’s in the hospital and acknowledging how and why it’s important to her to save this guy. Zarnab upholds her ideals so much but I feel her father cherishes them even more than she does And during this whole time he’s noticing the friction between her and Faris, Faris becoming overbearing and judgmental, and there is NOTHING Zarnab doesn’t share with her father, absolutely nothing is left out, so he sees her unhappiness with Faris and the sense of peace she’s achieved tending to someone who has proven his loyalty to her. So in the end where he chooses her happiness over being tied to Faris? That was such a great scene. Who writes fathers like this? I mean it was so great to see father and daughter together this whole time.
It’s not even about what Munna feels for his daughter (I believe he suspects) and what Zarnab feels for him. It’s more about how his daughter was compromising on her ideals and ending up less happy than she deserved to be, and now she’s suddenly found peace and a task she feels good doing. Paying back someone who had tried to save her. I love that he acknowledged that she needed this task - something she could divert to while she was compromising on “lesser” choices. And ultimately that speech at the end to Faris was the nail in the coffin. He was done. Just like he knew his daughter was done with him the moment he reversed his transfer. Pehle he was like his daughter will be okay with a man even if he isn’t a wali (saint) but now he realized that will just make her miserable in the long run when things are already so broken. And Zarnab showed him that in a situation separated from Faris, she can actually find little things to be content and happy with. So I loved that last scene SO SO MUCH.
This isn’t even about feelings like I said. Clearly they are developing too between the leads but from strictly the father daughter relationship standpoint these two episodes were so so wholesome A father for who his daughters ideals and happiness >>>>> anything else 🥹
