This was definitely a conversation that was much needed for Farhad to at least have a direction or to understand what he needed to do rather than just wasting his life over a heartbreak. I am hoping after this episode, I’ll get to see the beginning of Farhad’s spiritual journey where he will rediscover himself & understand the true purpose of his life. I felt this conversation linked Farhad’s Mohabbat to the aspect of Khuda that was so far missing in his journey & the rest of the story. He was shown that using this force of love, he could walk on a very different path, the only pre-requisite was the honesty & steadfastness that he needed to hold onto. This was definitely the first time Farhad’s love was given a new direction. I will still say I chuckled when at the beginning Farhad asked him who he was because Farhad may not know but the viewers have so far understood that the Dervish happens to be the writer & director of his journey but yes, apart from that, the rest of the conversation proceeded nicely. The dialogues were profound & meaningful & I will honestly say I enjoyed listening to Farhad’s questions getting thoroughly answered by the Dervish. The most important part of this episode definitely was the conversation Farhad had with W&D Dervish. The analogy they drew was another bitter truth they both highlighted because they have seen men from all walks of life, feeling entitled & expecting to be treated a certain way by women who are on their own. This particular incident highlighted the fact that women like Chanda & Romana are always vulnerable & end up being easy target for men. The interaction Chanda had with random strangers showed how things might get tougher for them in the future but for now, this was just an introduction they got with a world outside their secure four walls. Romana & Chanda have started facing their own struggles but because they both have each others’ support, they are fighting through.
I am glad that Jageerdarni also acknowledged the fact that if Mahi wouldn’t agree to this marriage, her decision will be respected, this was definitely refreshing to hear! Sikandar’s kids love & respect her, Mahi feels comfortable, Jageerdarni values Mahi more than ever, therefore her mother got to assess the entire situation which was favorable for Mahi.
Mahi’s mother who at first thought it was impossible was forced to think things through after she saw the kind of treatment her daughter was getting at Jageerdarni’s place. Jageerdarni too has lost her son but because she is seeing the bigger picture as she said, she buried the grief in her heart to bring joy to her family & keep it intact. I found Jageerdarni’s case to be strong & her points valid because Mahi wasn’t alone to have suffered a heartbreak. Although Mahi’s mother had all the right to reject Sikandar’s proposal but the points Jageerdarni put forth were convincing enough for Mahi’s mother to consider everything that she said. Jageerdarni approached Mahi’s mother with a lot of wisdom & sensibility.
