SPM~ My Musings 20.6.19 Fate’s appointed hour..
One the sanest bit of the episode is when Mainjaan, accepts the existence of the power which appears ,or is thought to control events that happen in a person’s life. He also tells Zainab, that destiny too has its own designated time. Humans cannot quicken or influence the course of events that are likely to happen inevitably. Being a true follower and devout practitioner of his faith, he also reminds Zainab that all pleas and supplications can be put before god, and expect answers to prayers all in his good time and not by the demands of humans. Mainjaan consoles Zainab that if Kainat and Zaroon are destined to be together, then nothing can deter that from happening. If not, then it only goes to show that the two are not destined to be yoked together. As elders, they have to accept the outcome and not resist it, as he is not in favour of forcing Zaroon to marry Kainat.
I thought Mainjaan did not breakdown under Zainab’s pro Kainat pleas. Mainjaan’s conscience is clear , he did what was in power ,to appeal to Zaroon.. Now all depends on gods and Zaroon’s will!
But others like the Mamoon‘s, are of the view that one makes and shapes one’s own fate. The predestined ordeals before them can be tweaked, fought against, for personal dreams and aspirations.The slinging match between Zaroon and Mamoon over which sister Kainat or Saltanat?he is meant to marry eventually, continues to cause great friction between father and son.
For Zaroon its all, to achieve his love against all odds even his father! who threatens to take his own life. It’s like both father and son are engaged in a power struggle between themselves . Will providence allow Kainat and Zaroon to become one ?as Zaroon believes there meeting and Sufiyana love was pre-ordained to happen. Manoon continues to discourage his son’s love towards Saltanat ! Mamoon has no faith in his son’s airy fairy faith in his love. Actually Zaroon, appears stupid when he goes by no confirmation from Saltanat’s side, other that he has firm faith in her love. In a predicament where Saltanat’s open confession or consent is badly needed. Zaroon’s faith in her love will just not suffice.
Two hours to get himself Saltanat’s confession gives the sense of the clock ticking away, for Zaroon. The race is on to get Saltanat’s confession. Finally to shape his own destiny. I think Zaroon kicks up a fuss to show the whole family ,not just his father ,but Mainjaan too that the legacy and the heirship can go to blazes ! His destiny he only sees in his future with Saltanat. Zaroon also warns his parents he might not even marry ,if it’s anyone other than Saltanat! So as far as Zaroons’ Sufiyana love is concerned, his father Mamoon’s best laid plans for securing his future can just go astray for all Zaroon cares! Such is the fervour of Zaroon’s Sufiyana love..
For Kainat, as usual overhearing Zaroon’s powerful resistance to marrying her, is nothing new. But it sure gives her and Sabina the feeling that its like they proposed but god disposed their perfect conspiracy. But then again, with Kainat, the more Zaroon shouts outs from the roof tops! He loves Saltanat. The more Kainat gets the adrenalin to hunt Zaroon down! again she brings her love into the picture in comparison to what Zaroon feels for Saltanat. Kainat too is obdurate and like Zaroon is a fighter! rather than a loser especially at the hands of destiny! Kainat rejects destiny! and also determines now is the time to claim her victory!
Saltanat, the new age woman with principles, actually weeps over Neelam’s shoulder and literally bows down before events and trials destiny poses before her and Zaroon. Like a loser, disgruntled and dejected she accepts that perhaps Zaroon's love is not meant for her. Neelam mocks her, that on the other handm Zaroon turns his back to everything,and turns down every elder, even Mainjaan and here she is sacrificing every thing for the eternal ingrate Kainat! Saltanat is at a resigned to destiny stage.. where she needs to be on her own, to sort her head out!
Well her stiff collision with Mamoon , I suspect perhaps shakes her up a lot. Mamoon’s fury at Zaroon, plus losing his hand at the legacy, literally makes him vent out at her. He warns her she’d better say no to Zaroon! as she’s caused enough trouble. The scene contrasts in Saltanat holding her piece of accepting him, from Zaroon; while Mamoon forces her to reject his son! Mamoon tampers with destiny so in turn he can force Zaroon to honour Mainjaan’s request and also to uphold Mamoon’s esteem as a parent!
Saltanat is seen as a virtuous, yet troubled soul, in the episode. Her parents, especially Nadeem points out that Saltanat has always looked out for the less fortunate Kainat. The chances are that Saltanat is very likely to give up her love Zaroon, for Kainat, in return for all Kainat has done for! Saltanat! The question I ask is what all has Kainat done for Saltanat ? to me this bit of Nadeem’s statement does not make sense..CVs have not shown any such thing..
Kainat tells Sabina, she will do what she can as a daughter! now what’s left to see is what a mother can do for her daughter? Kainat, in the presence of her mother, shows care and affection for Mainjaan.Kainat also puts on the resigned to gods will act as well! She confesses before Mainjaan that as a true devotee , to please her god, she is even willing to sacrifice her one desire only to fulfil her devotion. Sadly she admits that she will give up Zaroon her only wish,if that is what god has determined for her at this point in time.. she will try to survive, as god determines what’s best for her.
Mainjaan smiles at her benignly. Kainat’s sincere resignation, puts his heart at rest. Kainat gives him a false sense of security.. but Zainab, as a mother is fired up!
Overhearing Nadeem’s words about Saltanat’s soft corner for Kainat, plus hearing her dear child’s sad confession of giving up her only desire Zaroon she prayed for.. is enough for Zainab to follow a troubled Saltanat to the dargah!
Kainat makes her mother do her bit now,to procure Zaroon back from Saltanat to her! The dargah is the right place to manipulate the already in two minds vulnerable Saltanat!
The spiritually needy girl, seeking moral guidance from her god at the shrine is given a sacred thread by the Iman, to be tied to the dargah wall for prayers wishes to be granted. Zainab’s shadow looms over Saltanat..as a reminder of the oath she had once given to Zainab to grant Kainat her life!
Zainab repeats her request, seeks Saltanat to sacrifice Zaroon ,her love! all to save Kainat’s life. The tie of the sacred thread. Two ends tied.. in a prayer. The sacred thread is love the highest virtue that personifies the prime quality of god. It’s two ends stand for Kainat and Saltanat.Which of the two will tie Zaroon in the knot of love? Sufiyana, not selfish love?.. 21.8.19.hamlet53.
Precap: Sand sifts in the hour glass. Will Zaroon force a confession of love, out of Saltanat to fulfil his Sufiyana love?
