This has to be my favorite episode so far hands down! The scenes between harib and Haya were super cute and the chemistry was to die for! For once, Haya stood up for herself in front of harib and made him realize what she is going through; that her pain and suffering is similar if not worse than his. She needs to do that more often. Her boldness took Harib by surprise and he recognized that she can take control of the situation and cares about their relationship.
Is Harib undergoing therapy for his borderline personality? If you compare the harib of earlier episodes to today's episode you will see that he has changed. Although, he still displays unstable mood, impulsivity, anger, stress related paranoid thoughts but they are fewer and less intense as opposed to earlier episodes. He has not had a dissociative episodes since that divorce incident. Communicating his emotional state to his mother, confronting her in the previous episode probably helped, and forgiveness is an important aspect of an abuse survivor's healing journey. I want to stress that forgiveness does not mean that we excuse the abuse, or forget it or even trust the abuser again. It just means that we let go of resentment and find peace; and this is what Harib has finally achieved with his mother. All of this isn't possible without psychotherapy, and if he is not getting it; then it's a major loophole.
The other inaccuracy was the way they showed the inability of Haya to get pregnant at all. It would have been plausible if they showed that Haya had excessive bleeding during her miscarriage and the doctor had to do hysterectomy. But looking at labs wouldn't tell you that she is infertile and even if she is, there are infertility specialists that the OB can refer them to. Also, why did the physician not tell the patient herself? That results in major distrust between patient and physician relationship and any information should be given to patient first and then to family once the patient approves!
Coming back to the episode, I have no issues overlooking these minor loopholes because of the brilliant performances by both sami and armeena. Finally, we got to see what we had been waiting for. Harib has changed and witnessing the transformation of a man with abandonment issues, impulsive behavior to a husband who is caring, affectionate and doesn't want to distress his wife by telling her the truth brought tears to my eyes. The actors involved must be applauded too, for bringing these characters to life, and exuding the tender moments between Harib and Haya with brilliance. Sami, your harib is one of your best performances!
My review wouldn't be complete without mentioning sameena peerzada. The manner in which she has portrayed the multifaceted tayi jaan is commendable; it could have gone wrong easily but she was in control throughout; never going overboard. Her malicious, conniving tayi jaan always had a heart beneath that evil exterior that was evident even when she was at her worst. She outdid herself in each and every scene.
Rasmeduniya is my absolute favorite drama these days, and the team effort is visible on screen!
