Alvida - Episode 12

So we start off with our clueless hero running around in a mall trying to find Haya.

Saim and Fareesa reconnect. 

Jumma jumma aath din amreeka return Saim had a better car than private hospital owner Hadi salman? Oh come on! Seriously - why is this drama called Alvida? Alvida to females and their braincells? Alvida to all the good men in the world? Why are all the boys so creeepy in this drama? Except Hadi - that guy is just in his own lala land... 

Haya returns from psycho villa

 I'm hoping this boring stalking turns more interesting soon because right now its a snoozefest.

So, it's quite obvious that Hadi should be one of his dad's "head" patients. First, he helps Haya sneak off to meet Ramiz, then he's all "you'll marry him over my dead body." Meanwhile, Haya (who should be in the mental ward room next door to Hadi) has apparently gotten over how fast Hadi forgot about Aroosa and married Fareesa, and is now getting revenge (?) by keeping details of her "affair" with Ramiz secret from Hadi, like Hadi kept his "affair" with Aroosa secret from her. 

Continuation of confrontation from two episodes ago.

Chalo. Taya Ji has also entered the race of contenders that make no sense. Let's review his statements - the ones I remember anyway, in chronological order:

1 - (To Hadi) Fareesa is only shopping like a lunatic to cover some internal anguish.

2 - (To Tayi) SHE'S GOING TO BURN THROUGH ALL OUR MILLIONS AT THE RATE SHE'S SPENDING MONEY.

3 - (In this scene) Kitnay ki shopping hogi? (Tayi says 1 lakh) Pagal thori hei, itni mehngi shopping karaygi.

4 - (In this scene) (Tayi says 80 to 90 thousand ki shopping hogi...you know, like 10k less than the above statement) Oh, acha. Phir tu no biggie.

COULD WE POSSIBLY BE MORE CONFUSED OUT OF OUR MINDS RIGHT NOW?!

Inner monologue results in the most stupid decision ever taken.

Shamsi, I'm leaving all the dad bits for you, because I can't... I just can't 

Just shoot me now. Yeh baray hein is family kay? No wonder this drama makes zero sense. First, Tayi wants to ask Fareesa about Ramiz -- matlab kion? Fareesa ka bhai hei Ramiz? Cousin hei? Class fellow hei? She met him once, in a mall, for two seconds. Also, have we seen ANY evidence of ANY shred of intelligence from Fareesa? No. So, why does Tayi want to ask Fareesa anything?? Then Mehram-dad says baroon se mashwara kar leina chaheeaye - and Taya goes, "Great idea! LET'S ASK HADI!" Cos, well, Hadi has been showing an abundance of good decision making skills throughout this drama...And why the heck is Mehram-Dad asking Taya to help at all?

List of Taya's family's grievances against Mehram-Dad's:

1- Hadi called Haya his "tooti" all his life while meanwhile doing aankh machooli with Aroosa.

2 - Haya ran away and was almost raped cos Hadi married Aroosa.

3 - Hadi killed Aroosa.

4 - They handed Aroosa's baby over to a maid (cos it's obvious Fareesa ain't taking care of Sadi). 

5 - They hitched Hadi off to Fareesa before Aroosa ki kabar ki matti ko sookh nei ka mauka milta.

6 - Hadi lied to Mehram-Dad and let Haya go to shady-Ramiz's apartment.

During the entire scene with Hadi and his parents I kept looking at Imran Abbas 

And thinking

Oh yeah, the whole Saim-Fareesa situation is a total rip off of "Janam Jali"

BTW you guys notice the contraption Fareesa used to hang her bag from the table. For a second I thought she was using a gigantic Gate wala tala to lock her purse. Lol.

Haya and Ramiz have the same conversation - AGAIN.

uff taubah. When will Hadi realise he loves Haya? Psycho se shadi se pehle ya baad mai?

You tell a guy your family wants to meet him so you can get married. He says, "Do I really HAVE to meet your family? Let's forget your family and runaway together." Should you:

A: Giggle and playfully swat his arm..."Aray! Aap bhi na!"

B: Assume he has baggage.

C: RUN LIKE HELL

(I think the answer should be obvious here...)

Oh look - the family is having another private party and no one cares where Fareesa or Sadi is. Should I even continue to point out that those two are absent? Does Sadi even matter to anyone anymore?

*Moment of utter silence*

Go ahead. Go watch it again. That's what she said. Maybe that's how rich people roll? Shadi then mangni? 

The scene where Fareesa manages to make Ramiz uncomfortable...

Haya gets cold feet, but Fareesa railroads her into letting Rameez bring his proposal. 

I think I just diagnosed Fareesa. 

Combined with...

Rameez tries to impress the family. 

Bhai nahi - BARA bhai. *COUGH COUGH*

Fareesa Haya ko tayyar kar rahi hein - cos she shopped for PKR230,000 worth of clothes that look like maternity clothes my sasta wala darzi would stitch for PKR500 per suit. But it gets better: Fareesa then manages to slip in she didn't get to go on a honeymoon...#GroupHoneymoon #GateCrasher #KababMeinHaddi

...Aaaannnddd Hadi and Haya have the same argument. For the 100th time.

Honestly - this episode felt like it would NEVER end. Of course I have yet to watch the Zid finale, but still, for a drama that so many people had such high hopes for, this sure is turning out to be a bust. And even Imran Abbas, for all his hotness, can not save it.

And lo and behold, it's Wednesday and another episode of this nonsense is airing as I type...*joy*

Someone put me out of my misery...
