As the episode progressed, it became clear that Aswad had been feeling guilty for all of his actions. But at times, it looked, he was just as much a victim in this mess- with nothing but unfortunate circumstances to thank! The twist ending confirmed what we already suspected: there is no way this psycho can handle being on his own anymore!
Aswad’s culpability
I like how Saleha wanted to see Mehreen move on after she
rejected Aswad. She never once held back, hoping that he would change his mind,
but it is suitable for her not to be so set on repeating the same mistake
because of what happened with Mashal and their son suffering too much already.
Saleha was adamant about getting them married when all this
trouble started--but now that you know more about both characters' feelings
towards each other (and inner turmoil), maybe things will play out differently
than before...?
In Saleha’s words, she is "so settled in this country that
I don't really see myself going anywhere anytime soon." She accepted his
son's decision, and although he wants to live out his days in America because
of a job opportunity.
I love how independent-minded Saleh will always be even after living abroad all these years; refusing Aswad (her partner) requests like moving back to America.
During their meeting, it is clear to see that Mehreen has been keeping
a lot from Saffan. She shares none of the vulnerabilities she's had for herself
but instead spends time explaining how Aswad's family makes hers so tricky and
why this marriage should work out well—though I'm sure they both have a reason
not to! From what little we know about Saleha or even just her thoughts on life
- there shouldn't be any potential partnership between them anyway, given
everything happening at home.
Even Saffan could notice that Mehreen was not mentally and
emotionally present there, but he was well aware of her condition, so he chose
to accept it. It is genuinely refreshing to see a character like Saffan in
general - even when his opponent Aswad shines just as bright!
I am not a fan of the fact that Aswad has nothing more to him. Before
his death, Mashal was clouding judgment, and now it is this police officer
decided to fill in for him? I don't know why we were shown such softness with
Mehreen when he shares so many similarities; one would think they're both evil
masterminds!
In my eyes, credit goes to the director as well because he has done a commendable job in still not giving away all of Mashal’s secrets. The scenes with Shabo seeing his memories from before are very intriguing and will make you wonder if these expressions came out how Mehreen would have acted, but at least for now, they seem like an interpretation by Shabo herself(maybe). Let's wait and watch the next episode.
Aswad( The so-called hero) precisely does what he did with
Mashal, blaming her for falling in love with him. Similarly, now that his guilt
has driven him to take control of the situation and force Mehreen into marriage
instead of being firm about it like before; As watching this princess crumble
under pressure was not an easy task, but I think they pulled off their
performance well enough without too much help from mehreen's side so props
there.
This episode ended on a rather exciting note. It was pretty
unpredictable, but it goes to show how vile Aswad has become that he would do
anything for the sake of depriving Mehreen of what little peace she's been able
to find since these lies started coming up about their relationship. His
actions have made him more determined than ever before - now it seems as if
there is something worth fighting over after all.
The dynamic between these two characters is fascinating. For
many years, Aswad has served as a way to escape Mehreen's realities, but now
that he may deserve better than what she can offer him, the tables have turned
on their relationship, and it will be interesting to see how things play out
next week!
Outstanding performances
I found this episode of Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay to be quite
interesting. However, I am looking forward to the next story, hoping that it
will move on from these painful flashbacks Mashal has experienced thus far in
her life. Mahira Khan's performance as Mehreen always impresses me; she manages
to keep getting better every time! Though sadly, Saffan’s character is finally
going away after helping out during some chaos before he does, Mahira makes
sure their goodbye moment won't disappoint anyone who watches them both go
separate ways.
The way Aswad is written has always been a
mystery. Emotionally, he's involved with Mashal but cold-hearted and plotting
her downfall by gifting the cup that she loved so much only to break it once
again shows us how deep his feelings ran for this girl while we must wait what
will come next in Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay episode 13.
