Alvida - Episode 7

To tell you the truth, I kind of enjoy this drama. Kind of. I think it's good, but it's so inconsistent and has such weird and obvious gaps (like Hadi wondering how Haya can survive not talking to him. Hello - pooray saal baad yeh khayal aaya hei?) that it just takes the joy out of watching the drama.
Also, I hate Farisa with a passion. :P  
I'm hoping now that the Aroosa chapter is closed, we will see the story move forward with a lot less gaps.

Episode 7 opens with Haya gluing her shoe and purse together with Elfi. It was touching to know that she is adapting to her new situation - a sure sign of maturity - and not holed up in a 5-star hotel paid for with Taya Ji's credit card.
Then psycho calls her


Freesa ko baby ki kitni fikar hai

Oh Farisa...itni daulat aur shaan-o-shaukat dekh kar, Farisa has decided to implant herself in Taya Ji's house. My question is, is she going to try to replace Aroosa or Haya?


One step forward, two steps back: Jooti aur bag tu phut ray hein - but makeup supply is still plentiful. #PakistaniDramaLogic

Ramiz: Promise! Mein sirf tumhara doosth banna chahta hoon!
ugh...when will men learn. No means No


Come on Hadi - KICK HER OUT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
ummm no! dear faceless third sister who couldn't bother to attend Aroosa's wedding, wasn't there during her pregnancy and then didnt come running after Aroosas died, You have no claim on baby. shut up and stay where you are.

On one hand, I want to sympathize with Hadi  - he's lost the love of his life. On the other I feel angry at him for not caring about Haya enough to track her down sooner. Ok, so you weren't 'in love' with her and ok, she left because she couldn't stand you and Aroosa together...But, if you were such close buds, wouldn't you at least try to find out where she is and if she's ok?
i'm totally sympathising with Hadi...he lost the love of his life and his best friend is nowhere to be found...plus it seems like Farisa is picking his clothes for him because what the hell is he wearing in this episode??? Someone call the fashion police.

Taaya ji tries to talk some sense into Hadi but he's having none of it, which gives Fareesa a chance to formulate her diabolical plan.

I really enjoyed this scene - I don't think it's going to take much for these two to become friends...regardless of any resolutions Haya might have.

Farisa trying to act like the lady of the house...must be hard when the hired help has a better wardrobe than you, Farisa.

Poor Saim - Farisa sub ko aik cup mein se chai pillanay ja rahi hei, and didn't even offer him any!

I hate it when I have to take my words back: but fine. I feel for Saim. Regardless of his bad-acting, he didn't deserve to be treated so abominably by Farisa. I think it's quite obvious that Farisa will do whatever it takes to become a permanent fixture in her Mamoo's family.

Yup. One scene later, guess who is friends? And Ramiz - in spite of his assurances he will behave - not only tells Haya his life story (with pictures!) but also makes more I-want-to-be-more-than-friends passes at Haya.
i don't know if its the Mehram effect but I am totally not digging the Ramiz character. He comes off as way too stalkerish.

also where is this place in karachi and why do they force you to wash your hands at the table? I like to wash my hands discretely in the ladies room thank you.
  I don't belive they went to Islamabad to shoot office scenes so i'm assuming this restaurant is in karachi.

Dear Fareesa, if you really want to take over Haya's place in Hadi's life, a good point would be to NOT mention her name in every conversation you have with him.
Casual Chit Chat??? who says that. 

Back in Islamabad Haya is missing her "family." Yeah right. seedhe seedhe bolo you're missing Hadi. Rameez who thinks he's now best friends with Haya after their Ittefaq se aik saath dinner, suggests she calls up her family if she's missing them so much. 

In Karachi Fareesa pretends to help Hadi by trying to "contact" Haya through her friends. Hadi mellows towards her a bit
Haya deicdes to take Rameez's advice and call her Family. Guess who she calls in the family...
Ahhh...lying, scheming characters. What would our dramas do without them?

Farisa makes her moves on Hadi. #Eww
She has also named the baby Sadi. I guess I should thank my lucky stars she didn't name the baby Fadi...
the look Hadi gives her when she says this...*shudder*
at this point i was watching the drama with my eyes half closed, because i really thought Fareesa was going to hug Hadi from behind.

And Imran Abbass pretty much sums up how I feel about the chances of him hooking up with Farisa.

Please, come back soon Haya!

okay so once again i must apologise for being super late with the update. Usually im apologising to you guys but this time im gonna say sorry to my bestie shamsi. She gets her parts done on time and then I mess up her schedule. Sorry buddy. I promise to be superfast with episode 8.

    1. I pretty much obsessed over this fact and stopped watching the rest of the Rosie just to go and find the restaurant.

  2. 1. Okie, since the restaurant is obviously so popular, here are the details (courtesy Alvida's fb homepage) - it is called Rajdhani Delights - here is their fb page: https://www.facebook.com/rajdhanidelights
    You are most welcome. And yes, I am so into this show I follow them on fb, mainly to drool over IA :-)

    2. Our Ramiz is most certainly a bona fide stalker/psycho. Watch ep 8 for more of his spooky dialogues.

    3. Boohoohoo, Farisa has managed to force Hadi into marrying her. Now the big question - Iqra-Hamza type marriage or Iqra-Maya type marriage? The possibility of mini Fareesas is just ewwww, so voting for Iqra-Hamza style "mehram/na-mehram" type marriage.

    4. I've been too much into Mehram and Alvida and may be need a good dose of some better dramas in my life. Sorry to hog so much space N and Shamsi, loved your take on this (and other stuff I avoid like the plague, like Zid - just saying),

    1. Smart girl vee, i should've longer in their Facebook page too. Instead I joined every Karachi restaurant review page on Facebook and obsessively read through the reviews and looked through the pictures in the hopes on finding the name.

      Oh my god nooooooo!!! I haven't watched episode 8 completely yet. Please tell me it ain't so. I hope they don't get married at all and if they do, then she "tragically" dies on the wedding night. :-D

    2. Sorry for the spoiler N.

      I believe Farisa will pakao lots of khichdi in coming episodes before leaving the leads in peace.
