So what's next?

There is so much floating around in my pea sized brain that if it doesn't come out, it will surely explode. So last week, we witnessed extreme highs and lows. It was literally a roller coaster ride. Starting from tunne usse chuha kaise, biwi ho meri, jaan se maar doonga.. to... talaak talaak talaak... My god by Friday, I wanted to punch someone in the face for leaving us on a cliffhanger.

Zain, very dear to my heart, is one character, who had shown tremendous growth in Beintehaa. If you look at his character graph, he was the only one character in this entire show that had grown over time where as Aliya did not. He went from a flirtatious young adult to a caring sensible husband. Losing his father was the biggest blow for him. He lost his friend, his father, his companion, everything... You could relate to him because of the kind of buildup CVs had given to this relationship between a father and a son. TBH I cant relate to Zain's emotional attachment with his mother as much because I never witnessed that as audience. I only saw Zain connect with two people and they were Usmaan Abdullah and Aliya Zain Abdullah. So this past week what really put a dagger in my heart was how easily he was able to divorce Aliya and agree to the marriage. Why could the writers not have shown tad bit of hesitancy on Zain's part? They waste time on ridiculous scenes anyway.. might as well had given us five more minutes of Zain and his hesitation to agree to this marriage. A little more sensitivity would have been appreciated. There was just so much disconnect. Anyway leaving this aside, I will never doubt his love. He is very precious and I know to the extreme he has gone for his wife. You know sometimes Buddhi Brasth Ho Jaathi Hai.. and when you have a mother like Surraiya then I dont know what to say.

Aliya, what do I say here? She is my most favorite character in this show. I say this because I am a feminist and the kind of way her character is written it just motivates you in some way. She had so many dreams for her married life. I still remember her excitement during her wedding with Zeeshan. She was just someone, who really believed in fairy tale romance. Finally Zain enters her life and eventually he sweeps her off her feet. She was living her dream with him... She literally lost herself to him because she loved him immensely. If you all remember her dialogues to Paro ke woh mere shauhar nahin, but all the things he meant to her.. again she reiterated after the saturday dance of how his support was everything for her.. but wait... dont let this deceive you .. this does not make her weak. Right from the beginning, I knew she was a tough nut to crack. Instead of sitting in a corner crying, she challenged Zain on her suhaag raat. After the beach scene too, I knew this girl was something else. In every situation, she was probably the strongest pillar in this show. She did not cry much till she gave that right to Zain. Today her dream broke...

So what's next?

I can foresee a bitter and a new Aliya. She will be emotionless. For the first time, she put aside her self respect and begged to Zain for their marriage. When that self respect gets crushed, it hurts. She will bottle up her emotions and become heartless because she will never be able to love anyone again. This is why this whole rehaan angle makes no sense to me what so ever.

Zain, on the other hand... its time to feel for this guy. I think the kind of way they projected Zain in the past three days had put me in extreme shock. I am waiting for this period to fall in love with Zain again. I was really emotional last week because this character in some way had become our dream man and I felt I was losing him thus the frustration. I am sure he will do anything to get her back, but what makes it difficult is the one word that he pronounced three times. Talak.

HOW will they get back together?

This is where my brain stops working. I don't even think I spent this much time researching on one of my papers for my master courses as much research I did on halala, ruju law, and nikaahs in Islam. 😆 On a serious note: Halala, Ruju, or whatever the case may be... I strongly believe in Zain and Aliya! I cant believe that my determination has turned out wrong. I still think there is more to this. The whole Mon-Wed Episode had a purpose.. Something must have happened during the jungle track otherwise why would you have a random scene there? What did he mean by dont sleep with Aag? How can they be divorced.. gosh it boggles my mind! I still cant accept this.. there has to be something to this.. I am intrigued to know HOW they will get back together.

Having said all this, I dont want CVs to forget to explore Zain's side now. Aliya has gained enough sympathy in the past three weeks. You have provided enough justification for her to be bitter in the upcoming episodes... but now I want to see Zain's pain and misery. He should reflect back on all the harsh words he said to her and the things he did to her like throwing water on her face, and etc.. It is really important for the sake of his character to show this.

I am looking forward to Zain's desperation now and Aliya's coldness. I can already imagine the intense moments between the two. I cant wait to see Aliya in a new avtar.. OMG their first meet after this.. there will be so much fire!!!

*One thing before I leave - Why the hell is there a Sanam in this show? What purpose is she serving? I mean please it is one thing had you made her enter had Zain not given talaak, but now you are just giving us more reasons to be angry with Zain. Please stop doing that! Also stop making Zain hold his mommy ka palloo... He was also a witness to Surraiya's cruelty on Aliya. I can just never forget the stuffing of the cake. shudders..

Ok I think I am done.. gosh I cant believe I wrote this much

(Sorry due to my weird traveling schedules I have to do an analysis on weekends only) .


*Edited: Ok is anyone going to do anything about Nafisa now? I hope to see her kicked out or was the hate only reserved for Aliya? I am seriously waiting for an answer from the CVs. I want Nafisa out period!
