Pyarey Afzal- Episode 16

Pyarey Afzal  is a Pakistani Drama watch Episode 16 Online at Bathak.com

Now this episode totally ruined it for me. After last week’s fast-paced, mercury riser, my expectations were 
impossibly high but I guess they just couldn’t top that! Either the writer dozed off and lost track of the storyline or just lost interest altogether, I couldn’t make sense of today’s episode. Bear with me as I try to recollect. Apparently, upon her return journey from Molvi Saheb’s home, Farah has instantaneously developed the power of premonitions! Suddenly, she ‘knows’ everything to do with Afzal. What he’s thinking, how he’s feeling, and when he’s leaving. Umm, yes, so she also knew the exact time of his departure from Hyderabad! Farah was on the verge of tears after last week’s showdown at Molvi Saheb’s home but within moments she shifted her focus to the jhoola? ADHD alert?

Arifa is beginning to get on my nerves now. Does that girl have nothing better than to be her brother’s shadow? They really haven’t shown her do anything else besides harass Afzal over his day-to-day activities. Kahan se arahe ho? Kya chupa rahe ho? Khao meri kasam! Who khat kis ke hain? Kya karogay? Let him breathe, woman! It seems that Arifa’s obsession has passed on to the deadly duo of Farah and Lubna. All they seem to do is discuss Afzal. Molvi Saheb was his usual charming self. I adore his efforts to make his wife smile- true love indeed! If only Afzal had learned a thing or two from his father, he may have had a better shot at love! Upon finding out that Afzal had left, he made contingency plans and arranged for a doctor to accompany him after Fajr when his wife would wake up.

Afzal had already made up his mind he was not going to stay in the city anymore and go to Karachi to achieve his dreams of becoming a bara aadmi. That was why he took the plunge into gambling one last time so he could make enough money for his trip to the city of dreams- okay, so Karachi isn’t exactly a city of dreams but Afzal seems to think so. He assured Babloo that he has no intentions of returning and he would drown himself if need be-Sharam samandar se ziada bari hoti hai! Finally, Afzal caught the train to Karachi. Yipee. With a broken heart he remembered his various encounters with Farah. His reverie was interrupted by a mother/ daughter pair and I get the feeling we will be seeing much more of them. New love interest, maybe? Who knows?

I hope they don’t drag this drama beyond 20 episodes. There’s only so much melodrama that I can handle. What are your thoughts about today’s episode? Are you rooting for Afzal’s return?
