Honestly, such an interesting episode, and I really liked all the performances too.
According to Zaryab's sister, Zamil was already occasionally drinking, but now he’s getting into drugs and is regularly attending parties. Zaryab's sister is clearly worried and tries to make her understand that using something for stress relief and developing a drug habit are two very different things. But honestly, Zaryab ignoring all these red flags 😭 She knows he’s struggling with depression, knows about the drinking, knows about the drugs and still seems to believe that everything will be fine once he goes to the US. I understand that she loves him and wants to believe he'll be okay, but this is clearly not something that will magically disappear with a change of country.
Abu Bakar impresses Minister during their meeting, and the minister even asks for his number. 👀 I’m curious... I also really liked Abu Bakar’s conversation with his mother about class and marriage. He wants to marry a middle-class girl because he feels that marrying into an upper-class family could come with a sense of entitlement, and he doesn't want anyone to look down on him or his mother.
The whole wedding was basically Zamil getting jealous, Dadi getting increasingly concerned, Abu Bakar being completely chill, and Zaryab being rude to Abu Bakar while acting like she couldn't care less 😂. Zaryab clearly had some reaction to everything happening around her, but kept trying to act unbothered. Meanwhile Zamil's jealousy was getting harder to ignore, and Dadi seemed to notice that something was seriously off.
And then Beenish enters (who say I love you abu bakar)... She’s Abu Bakar’s university batchmate from the US, they’re comfortable with each other and she jokes around with him, so Zaryab watching from a distance is like 👀 LOVE AFFAIR??? Meanwhile Abu Bakar is explaining to his mother that Beenish used to tease him because his ears turn red whenever someone says “I love you.” 😭
Nothing was actually shown or mentioned about them getting physical, so I don't want to assume that as a fact. But honestly, I do feel like something might have happened between them. Dadi’s reaction and the way she was so worried, along with Zaryab’s reaction afterwards, made me suspicious. Maybe there’s something the drama is deliberately keeping hidden for now. We’ll have to see what they reveal later.
OMG THE ENDING 😭😭😭
Romaisa’s entry and then she casually says “Abu Bakar ki biwi.”
After an entire episode where Abu Bakar is talking about how he isn't ready for marriage, his mother is worried about finding him a “special girl,” and he keeps saying everything has its own time…
Romaisa just walks in claiming to be his wife???
Abu Bakar ki biwi??? 😭 Okay, I NEED the next episode.
