This post is negative rant only on Meerab BEWARE
In every episode since the slap we are like this is it this is the moment they have ruined the characters, but somehow we are able to reign it back in and find some justifications for their behaviour, there is a collective sigh and TBA marches on. This time I just don't know how to find any justification for what they did to Meerab, so I target all my rage against the writers.
When she didn't clear the initial misunderstanding she was lying by omission. Forgiven
When Murtasim asked her to confirm the truth publicly she was lying consciously. Forgiven
When she stopped Murtasim from telling the truth now she is not just lying she is scheming. Forgiven
What is not forgiven is that she hopes to continue this lie until welllllllllllll forever. Because she is scared for her izzat WHAT IZZAT, the moment she lied she tarnished her izzat. Since when was she such a coward. Murtasim asked the same questions we wanted to ask what the hell is she doing. Yesterday cuteness was all fun, we enjoyed it I am glad for it but today they should just be putting their heads together trying to come up with a strategy.
What should have happened in this episode is they both come up with a plan to go to the doctor, and the doctor would scientifically negate the pregnancy was a genuine mistake and the matter ends. Of course before they could go to the doctor the contract is disclosed and now MM are confused as to how to handle this matter delicately without blowing 'we didn't have sex' cover yet. This is how they redeem her, give her a plan, even if the plan is stupid anything is better than nothing.
I don't care if she doesn't love Murtasim yet, make him sleep in the garden for all I care, I don't care she is talking to sticky notes, but don't destroy her truth, her convictions, her self respect. She has done the right thing for the right reasons, we might not agree with those reasons but her heart is always in the right place. How they made her handle this fake pregnancy is not the same girl who said sign the contract or FOUUCKKK OFF.
The joke is on the writers, the more they sink Meerab's charaacter they make Murtasim look bad too. Would he admire and love a liar, a schemer and a coward, this only makes him just as stupid as she is. His whole 'Tum Meri Meerub Ho was shot to hell, where is his himmatwali, sach ke ladne wali, kisi se darnewaali. She didn't show courage, or speak the truth, and got scared when there was nothing to be scared of to begin with. Just because she makes mistakes doesn't mean she will stop being all those things that Murtasim admires about her. Even the bravest of us, strongest of us, truest of us will falter but I wish they gave her a real adversary to justify her sacrificing her principles.
Now if I did dig deeeeeeeeep deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep so deep I reach the remains of Titanic the only justification for this lie is that maybe she wishes she was pregnant. WTH what do I know.
This does not mean I am giving up on Meerab. This is the writers doing I blame them, have they completely ruined the story no not yet.
This is a Matrix glitch, once we reload we should be back.
Ok rant over
I might review the episode sorry guys. I don't think the episode had enough substance even for my mindless writings. There were a few husband wife cute moments though.
My exact issue with Meerab.
This fake pregnancy track is so shoddily written but I still do not think it's something Meerab cannot do.
I would have taken her as a liar and completely unforgivable had she lied to Murtasim about the fake pregnancy as well. That would have been a fall from grace. ( Rohail issue is an altogether different tangent )
I was mad at Meerab for thinking about her izzat and keep the lie going until the teaser for next week. She thought, she will be humiliated if people know she is not pregnant, on top of that, people now know she does not have an intimate relationship with her husband as well. Her not being pregnant has already led her MIL suggesting her son to divorce her. So was she completely wrong in carrying on with the lie? No. Except it could have been handled logically and not make her look like the lesser person.
The reason most are bummed is because Meerab's indifference is shown in a stark contrast to Murtasim's devotion in this marriage. That is where the writer somewhere failed to gain a neutral perspective. But can I say I am not enjoying it? No. Because I am honestly curious to see how this absolutely ignorant wife will come around head over heels for her husband. What exactly will make her choose and return to him, only to not leave forever?
Meerab's confusions are being set up for the volcano that will be Murtasim's rage when he knows about Rohail.
I say, it's the calm before the storm in their lives, so should I say, their lovestory?
Tables will turn somehow and it will be her pursuing him.
