Raqeeb Se a play which has all the right elements to touch our heart chords. Though bit stretched but in this particular episode characters are more revealing and one of the character is moving towards its conclusion. The play got layers like of an onion and with every episode it gets peels off a new layer appears. In this episode we have seen major developments  as well as their are many scenes which touches your right chords. Ameera is madly gets infatuated with Maqsood Sahab and her madness is reaching new heights. Being a mean person she thought she will try to take her life in order to win Maqsood Sahab’s love but later she realized she is sadly mistaken. Her disappointment and hurt is written all over her face.

Maqsood Sahab opens up a bit, it seems that the ice within him is now melting. The moment he looks compassionately with Hajra is so heart touching. He verbally acknowledges all her sacrifices and love for him. He tells her she is mistaken when she always thinks ill of herself  when actually its Maqsood Sahab’s own mistake. The moment when Maqsood Sahab hugs Hajra, all her deprivation gets dissolved. She was already content with her submissive behavior but now Maqsood Sahab’s acknowledgement adds new life into her.

Maqsood Sahab tells Sakina that she do not uses her own brain and it leads towards Sakina’s realization that she has never ever taken care of herself nor she has protected her own self like the way she should have been. Maqsood Sahab acknowledges that love is a fallacy and it is not love which has stuck him for 20 years but the regret of losing his brother. The way he explains all this too Ameera is so heart touching. Insha also gets a reality check when he sees the real face of Abdul as an opportunist and a cheat, the way Insha deals with it is so inspirational. It seems that Sakina will too get out of this 20 years old bubble and she will  eventually liberate herself. A thoroughly beautiful episode!
