Mohabbat Aag Si - Intro

I just want to start by saying to the reader that suggested this drama:

To the family member (who shall remain unidentified but you are welcome to make some guesses...) who told me about the drama by giving away all the story...you really suck. This drama would've been more fun if I didn't know who the villain was. But, no worries. For the readers that haven't watched it, I would strongly suggest, don't read anything that gives the story away until you've watched the first episode. It'll be more fun that way. 

So, anyway, seriously -- I was totally missing out on this thanks to a non-existent internet. Now that that issue is resolved, I'm like an insatiable drama watching machine attempting to turn myself into a blogging ninja. You know, as a way to make up for the long period of silence. (Side note: For all wanting to see how Dil Ka Kya Rung Karun turned out, I'm going to pick that up again. Like, any second...)

Let's go ahead and meet the characters...

Aapa Ji: The perfect picture of virtue that gave up her jawani to raise her two younger brothers that not only dote on her, but practically worship the ground she walks on. 

Shareefa: The gossip-monger household help aka Aapa ki chayli. 

Brother 1 (Sharafat) and his wife (Samia): Married for three years and longing for a child. He's a paragon of virtue and she's Allah Mian ki gaain. So far Aapi Ji's dum kia hua doodh has not helped with fertility... 

Phuppo: She doesn't own a hair-straightener...and seems to possess no warm fuzzy feelings for Aapa Ji. Hmmm....

The fact that this drama had eavesdropping going on in the first half of the first episode is reason enough to expect awesomeness. 

Looky looky - it's a secret love happening between Samia's phuppi's daughter (Saba) and Aapa's younger brother (Wajahat). 

So, besides this just mentioned love affair, the infertile couple, and the phuppo-batheeji issues, you must be wondering "What's the big deal?" Well, I present...

Exhibit A: These reactions to the Bhabi experiencing some vomiting. Father-to-be thrilled, Maasi fake smiles, and Aapa Ji are-you-kidding-me. Aapa Ji, zara takaluf mein hi khush ho jateen. 

Exhibit B: Aapa Ji's non-conventional sleepwear. Yup. She gives new meaning to sleeping beauty. 

So, the question is, why is Aapa Ji making sure her bother doesn't become a father? And why is she sleeping dolled up? One episode in, I am fascinated by the characters and can't wait to see secrets being revealed. 

Having said that, my next question is, how fast can I possibly catch up on all the episodes aired so far?
