Well, obviously, with the entry of Shahwar’s (Adnan Siddiqui) wife, Maham (Savera Nadeem) Shahwar and Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) were not going to get married. Maham enters the scene, sends the moulvi sahib packing, Shahwar to jail and kicks Mehwish out of the house. Her role is complete. She has taken back her money, dismissed her dirtbag husband and gotten rid of the woman he was having an affair with.

Maham takes control

All in one episode.

Oh, and Danish (Humayun Saeed) tells Hania (Hira Mani) that his son Roomi, wants him to marry her. So that’s out in the open now too.

Hania finds out that Roomi wants her to marry his father

Mehwish after getting thrown out of Maham’s house, goes back to her old home, realizing what she has lost. She wanders around, homeless and unsure about what to do. She goes to see her son at school, who meets her nicely, but tells her that he can’t tell his friends she’s his mother.

She meets her son in school who tells her that he doesn’t want her coming around. He’ll talk to her on the phone

She goes to meet Shahwar in jail who tells her to leave, because Maham would have a fit if she found out. All those promises, gone. He says to her that they had a good time when they were together. Mehwish can’t believe it. Her life as she knows it, is over.

Shahwar, yelling for the guards to take away this woman he doesn’t know

Adnan Siddiqui does a brilliant job in this episode of being the totally disengaged, uninterested, in-it-for-the-good-times guy we all knew he was. He looks through Mehwish like she is nothing – at one point screaming for the police to take her away. He says he doesn’t know who she is – and for a minute you might think, has he gone mad? No, he is just making sure he gets out of jail and Mehwish, means absolutely nothing to him anymore.

Mehwish ends up in a park, crying on a bench. In a very strange scene, a little girl tells her mother that look, that lady (Mehwish) is crying just like you. Who this lady is and why she’s crying, no one knows.

Girl watches Mehwish cry in the park

The only plausible reason to keep this scene in the episode is to show that Mehwish, the once rich and almost married beauty is now worse off than someone sitting in a bench on a park, crying. So realistic is the scene, that one realizes that Mehwish, who always had perfectly manicured nails in the series, now has broken, dirty ones. The attention to detail in this drama is intensely perfect.

Danish goes on to partner with his friend in his stock market firm and obviously is going to end up making a lot of money, that also because he bought shares in Shahwar’s company (oh the irony).

Mehwish is going to want Danish back. The teaser for episode 19 proves as much. And in a deep twist, the roles of Shahwar and Maham come to an end. Now comes the face off between Mehwish and Hania for Danish.

Hania will most likely not back down, and Mehwish will want the love that she lost. But who will Danish choose? The women he loved with all his heart, who broke it but is still the mother of his child? Or the girl who would most likely never do him wrong, will cherish him, but is in fact, terribly boring? In this delicious episode the series takes a twist. And it will now all be about who is team Mehwish and who is team Hania.
