Great analysis. Loved reading it. I think Zaid’s embarrassment and shyness stemmed from how attracted he felt towards Mubashira at that moment in time. I feel like he might not have even realized it until she opened the door. He definitely felt something. We’ve seen him soften over time with her but it was just different this time.Originally posted by: chicksoup
Will love to go through discussions in a while.
Episode was written to shock viewers, I guess. 😄
All the fans who begged for some chemistry got more than they bargained for. Story ko alag rakhein,chemistry ko alag- seemed to be the theme....ðŸ¤
.....but once the shock wore off...I guess it took the entire night for MJ to believe her eyes too that the guy who refused coffee an hour back spent the entire night in her bed. She decided to sip it in, second by second...savouring each moment...
....and what looked disconnected starts to make sense.
Zaid has been disturbed for quite a while and with each incident he's feeling more and more drained after Ayra's demands make him feel he's the one made to compromise each time. MJ has not done anything spectacular for him other than little things to make him happy, small gestures of love and sweet little requests on his time. These were all things he never expected from her ...or did he crave for these once upon a time? Hope we get to know ...
Zaid reaching out to Ayra out of care, respect and responsibility again and again, despite feeling unsupported by her...abandoned by her. He had wanted her around him in the office, was looking forward to spending time with her- she rejected him and chose her mein- she wanted to explore her capabilities and talent...this equation should have been worked out before marriage, unfortunately. What were Zaid's and Ayra's expectations from marriage - only then they would know their compatibility.
Zaid feeling refused- Ayra not picking up his calls, not informing him about her job beforehand, continuing to work with rivals despite his displeasure -he has toned down his emotions to be compatible with her requirements...yet she seems to require more and more of him.
Zaid comes home disappointed with how things were turning out after a tumultuous journey of their love ...MJ offers him coffee- she offers to make it for him, looking to spend some time with him- he declines dejectedly. (Should have taken that coffee request, Zaid- you would have sat and talked in the lawn till 2 am...and not ended up sleeping in her bed. 😂)
MJ's reaction to his rejection was the first interesting point in the episode. She didn't scowl or throw things around...she just took it very gracefully. She must have spent some one hour lost in thoughts when Zaid knocked at her door.
What must have gone through Zaid's mind after he declined coffee? He was not in a mood to share his problems - whatever was between him and Ayra had to be sorted out between them. He didn't want to sit and brood. He needed a friend, perhaps. Something pulled him towards MJ. He decides to spend some time with her.
Once he has been received and welcomed into the room, Zaid feels a bit embarrassed. (What happened to the chairs in this room?🤣 May be even if there were chairs he'd sit on the bed to watch TV. ðŸ¤)
May be Zaid felt he had crossed a boundary unknowingly once he entered her room...it didn't upset him, he just felt a little weird about it probably.
MJ makes him feel at home and he dozes off watching TV.
By the time Ayra comes calling for Zaid, MJ is in a very protective mood. Zaid is sleepy, but feeling dejected enough to mumble this is his room too...he doesn't want an encounter with Ayra tonight. He'd rather sleep blissfully.
He wakes up feeling fresh. There's nothing off about MJ sitting next to him as he gets up to go. There's a slow sense of familiarity growing between the two. And she throws a bewildering question...and clarifies the invitation was not for another night with her, just....co...ffeeee.....🤠(Better accept the next time she offers coffee, Zaid- or you'll end up here again. )
The second notable scene was Zaid picking up Ayra's stuff and arranging it. He is not pissed off. There's nothing to apologise for as far as he is concerned. He is so calm as if nothing happened out of the way. He needs to clarify one thing to Ayra when she tries to poke him - she sees only his reactions and is blind to her own actions that caused those reactions.
Zaid's silence.
He's silent through the office scene. He just glances at MJ and smiles brightly and appreciatively at her once. Rest of the time, he's deep in thought and silent. Neither his work, nor Ayra's invitation and attempt at reconciliation can shake him out of that mood.
What's going on in his mind? It's not guilt, for sure. He's processing something very significant and it's pulling him into melancholy.
Ayra's plan to win Zaid back. He talked about her actions and his reactions. Will she be able to significantly change some of those actions that annoy him, than try and make amends in some other way? Can their relationship survive the differences?
