SPM ~ My musings 14.5.19 The story of her life..
The story of Kainat’s life is dappled with a secure home ; a doting mother; continuity of faith, values, traditions in the figure of Mainjaan. Whatmore could be amiss in her life ? she also has sibling Sultanat with whom she may fall out, but she knows when time comes her articulate cousin sister will speak up for Kainat.
Then in Zaroon’s arranged proposal a new lease of life Kainat gets.That keeps it’s zeal even after being rejected by him. Her pain gives her theexperience of playing a fresh hand at life’s game. Due to her appearance, hercarriage of herself, her quiet disposition , there are many who think of her as a bit of a whimp and weakling. Zaroon and Sultanat, again are deemed to be the strong characters in comparison with Kainat.
In this episode too, both Zaroon and Kainat provide the cover of acanopy over Kainat where she is found with Humza alone in the dead of thenight. Kainat just as well might not be there when Mainjaan wants to know whyfour of his fledglings were found outside the house in the middle of the night? Saltanat, uses her argumentative skillsand points out to Mainjaan ,affirmative! all four made a mistake, but insisted they were not involved in acts outside the law. They had naught to hide, they committed no sin! What Mainjaan sees is their need to break or even dare to tamper with the house rules ! He too worries that worldly evils have crawled into his house from underneath the main door! the truth is the children busy adjusting, jiggling, relationships.. all in good faith in the family interests!
Zaroon, then flies in and provides the umbrella of protection for Saltanat from Mainjaan’s wrath. Humza chose to besilent. Whereas Zaroon,remindsMainjaan that he was merely acting upon directives.. given by him, i.e. encouraging Humza and Kainat to meet.
Mainjaan, however senses, mutiny brewing up on the decks of his smooth sailing ship. All his life he ensured his ship sailed over calm seas. But some how the tempestuous waves gets to the stern of his ship. As the captain! He will determine now! which course his ship and all its crew will sail to come out of the fury of the deadly waves, that could sink his boat!
The rock like figure head takes the decision! Humza and Kainat’s engagement is to go ahead! On the double!
All elders seem to go along with Mainjaan’s decision. However Sultanat seems to think she can still manage to stop the engagement from going through. She is unsure about the match.
At this point I do seem to feel that the whole family concludes that the best way for the family to over come this unpleasant incident between Humza and Kainat is to get them tiedin a bond! This way the families respectability, Mainjaan’s revered image will remain intact.
Kainat’s emotions do not seem to stand a chance. Zaroon did what he could. Zainab herself turns violent to save the image of her mothering values Kainat sent down the drain. She is cruel to be kind! Reminds Kainat she is in love with Zaroon who never even bothers to look at her! Zainab seems be tough now, and refuses to agree that Zaroon’s love appears to be a matter of life or death for Kainat! What will it take for Kainat to accept that Zaroon does not love her? Is she content in this predicament?
On the other hand, seems like the bricks of every one’s over protection; overly concern are piling around, smothering her systematically! Not before she is pushed into doing something that is likely to put a stigma on the famous Shah name! For Kainat's slogan remains marriage to Zaroon, if not then it will lead to her end.. how can she overcome this mindset? Perhaps to realize the value of life will be an interesting route for cvs to take rather than this talk of self annihilation! maybe take up a job.. or step out of the domestic setting ,like Sultanat does.
For how long will others chivvy Kainat to lead her own life for her? Does she not have any strengths that may be the light of her life? Mainjaan and her mother showed her the way.But recently, Zaroon arrives and the light of love triggers her along with her staunch faith. But then again, Kainat has a fear in life too.. the fear of losing the man, who every one knows does not love her. But She loves him , fearless of something called rejection! Or even getting engaged to Humza ? will this draw Zaroon’s attention?
Take the wretched text message. Zaroon’s text message lands Kainat to fall from grace not only in her mothers eyes but in the eyes of the whole family.Now once again Kainat gets caught in the cross fire of text messages between Saltanat and Zaroon’s.
The whole episode, is about how others make Kainat lead her life. The two mothers Ghazala and Rubina are vicious enough to see Zainab suffer in every possible way. Even Mainjaan shows great disappointment at Kainat’s action of venturing forth and meeting Humza under the blanket of darkness. Both Zaroon and Sultanat come clean by giving their defence. But Kainat’s silence about heeding to Zaroon’s text messageraises question about her behaviour! yet Kainat bears it all!
She swallows all that goes around in her life .Catty women ready to push her into a loveless marriage! On the pretext, that it's ok for a girl to be hurled against a man, that a girl does not love.As in time love happens eventually..
The more Kainat suffers silently for the sake of family respectability , stifles her emotions. The more she receives my sympathy as being the girl who is expected to make sacrifices..while the world just ticks away as normal.. Dadi snores during the siesta; Zainab brings her plea of getting Kainat married off a.s.a.p; the men of the house decide the day; Mainjaan continues to give his scholarly Islamic advice ,which Nadeem needs as a novice. That Ramzan permits any such action that is deemed virtuous . So engagement arrangements cannot be bound by religious restrictions. Humza gets his engagement attire measured! Zaroon measures his own success in this neat alliance between Humza and Kainat! that he too help set up. The buzz continues in Mainjaan’s house. None looks to the specs shielded tears of Kainat that flow nonstop. Her universe seems to have gone upside down.
While Sultanat mops Zaroon‘s brow and still admits before him if only he hadn’t come for Kainat.. things would have been different. But till then both Zaroon and Saltanat will carry on playing this game of having one up against the other. Zaroon promotes Humza before Kainat. Kainat too thwarts his efforts and the engagement. She decides to launch a crusade which will make Humza hate Kainat All at the expense of Kainat ..
Precap: the engagement seems to be underway! Due to great public demand! Ghazala and Rubina cannot contain their joy! Of removing a hurdle named Kainat from the way of their children Sultanat and Zaroon. As far as these two mothers agree, that Zaroon and Saltanat are made for each other! But can they function without the identity of Kainat ? something tells me the story of her life will carry on in their lives! 15.5.19 Hamlet53
