In one of the best finales of any drama this year, Jama Taqseem’s finale will make you smile and full of warmth with the real happily ever after.
The family gets together for Abba Jee (Javed Shaikh) and Amma’s wedding anniversary and the one part that we were all wary off is settled with the best stinger: Sidra rises like the confident girl we all knew she would.
Even though Faisal, her cousin, wants to marry her, she rejects him, telling him and Zeeshan that she wants to make something of herself and needs no one’s pity to be who she is meant to be.
She rightfully says that she wants to become something for her parents and she and her sister would show that to everyone when they do. And we can’t help but smile and literally clap for her and girls everywhere - this is the episode we were all waiting for.
And the finale doesn't end there. It allows the bitter Abba Jee to realise that every woman - including his wife - deserves her own house. And only when massively pushed does he agree to live with his son Majeed, whose wife needs her elders with her, making this all about a choice, a choice on who to live with and who not to.
And to his credit, Abba Jee fills our hearts even further, by saying that his other son cannot live with him and can only visit - a silent nod to Zeeshan that Zeeshan’s crime might have been forgiven by the elders but it was and will not be forgotten. All is well but all will not be forgotten that easily.
Qais (Talha Chahour) also apologises to Laila (Mawra Hocane) for not realising what a toll pregnancy can take on a woman and her, and Laila also apologises for being insecure.
The moments in the finale are what truly can move you to tears because you have felt them too. The cars in a driveway, highlighted to show a full house, the family whatsapp group where everyone is connected, watching your kids laugh and play with each other and remembering the bad times that in memory, become the good times like stealing milk.
It is a beautiful ode to family and when it ends, you will want to call your family, or write in your family whatsapp group because it teaches you that there is nothing except family, understanding, and respect. And that is what life is all about. Letting others live and living with them in love and harmony.
