Hmm. I thought he said the doctor had given her an injection to make her sleep for a few hours. I might be wrong.I guess in my mind, right from the beginning, a slightly different storyline was unfolding where Aina and Mohsin had this playful/combative dynamic, which they never thought meant much. I guess your plot twist bit makes sense; I never saw it that way. I always saw the show as guiding Aina and Mohsin, who were meant to be, towards each other. I thought in the events leading up to the rain scene, that was what Mohsin was unconsciously doing. He was following his instinct which always led him to confront or interact with Aina.I guess I misunderstood. But I am a biased viewer; I can't imagine Mohsin not feeling tug towards AIna even prior to his marriage :-)
The doctor did say that! But he probably told Mohsin to take his wife to her bed before injecting her with a drug to have her fall asleep. So I actually went to and graduated medical college (ya I'm a doctor, and a journalist, long story). I would never give an unconscious patient who apparently wasn't eating much a sleeping injection, but I don't know how they practice medicine in Pakistan. Either way, Aina falling asleep was just a plot device to trigger memories in Mohsin, like that lovely flashback to their earlier days...
Which leads me to your next point: Why can't it be both that the writers were trying to do a plot twist but at the same time foreshadow the imminent MoNa union with little bits of MoNa scenes like him seeking her out all the time? That flashback with Mohsin talking to Aina's mother is the perfect example of how they did always egg each other on, not necessarily romantically, but they just couldn't leave each other alone. These things were often hinted at in dialogs, too, like how Sajjal told Aina in the first episode that Aina was always the leader when it came to "burai" of Mohsin. Also, when Mohsin asked Aina why she was willing to marry him when Aina used to tell Nadia that it's better to commit suicide than marry Mohsin it was just more proof that the MoNa bond wasn't just Mohsin-->Aina; there was a fair bit of Aina-->Mohsin too. For a man she wasn't married to, she had a lot to say about him! After Nadia's death, Mohsin, probably more on a subconscious level than anything else, had the moral barriers of not going after a woman he wasn't married to taken off of him (Mohsin is a lot of things, but he's not unfaithful or a creep). He could finally return, or perhaps resume (resume meaning continue where he and Aina's bond left off before his marriage to Nadia), this pull Aina had been sending his way.
