As Tabish (Shahveer Jafry) and Hurmat’s (Dananeer Mobeen) relationship moves quickly, the stage is set for an inevitable downfall; what they believe is a deep relationship now rests on a broiled-up past that will determine their future. While Hurmat’s controlled life is already known, Tabish’s childhood traumas and their impact on his present have taken center stage in the latest episode. A difficult childhood marked by separated parents and bullying left Tabish with a single coping mechanism-to prove his worth by acing in life.
With every aspect of his life calculated, he was taught by his father to build a wall of achievements around himself to wipe away his scars. Though he has reached a successful position today, his future remains heavily shadowed by his past, and he treats his life partner as his greatest achievement. She reaches the top of his domino wall, but the question immediately arises: does she want to be recognized as his achievement? This is precisely where Tabish’s unhealed childhood trauma will eventually affect his relationship with Hurmat. His identity is built on keeping his achievements intact, and any threat to the relationship feels like a threat to his survival as well. Tabish cannot afford to lose what he considers his highest peak, meaning his need to protect his wall may gradually translate into micromanaging or dictating Hurmat’s life. His obsessiveness ensures he would not let go of this relationship easily, even if it means holding on through force and control.
However, for a woman who has spent her entire life stepping on eggshells, this elaborate display of childhood trauma is not only scary, but also a reason good enough to assume that she will be catering to his traumas in the future as well. What she believed was a breath of fresh air, an escape from her father’s control, proves short-lived when she realizes she doesn’t want to be responsible for caring for her husband’s past.
Hurmat’s conflict sits at the center of this narrative; having already paid for her father’s mistakes, she cannot be dictated to again by her partner’s scars. She is simply not up for becoming someone’s trauma response, nor is she willing to spend her life walking on eggshells for another man. Her quest for freedom cannot be bound to her future husband’s past, who has taken her as another brick on his grand wall. As the questions grow and the mystery of Tabish’s personality is revealed, Hurmat’s confusion becomes the ultimate representation of her deepest fear: moving directly from one traumatic life into another.
While Hurmat’s conflict is yet to be explored, netizens believe she has realised she might be walking into another trap. A user took to X and posted:
the exact moment when the fantasy and idealization start to slowly fall apart for hurmat, he’s no longer just the handsome powerful guy who promised her a dream but someone who carries traumas just as deep as hers if not worse, she’s realizing that those few seconds of freedom outside the cage might have been nothing more than a path leading her straight into a new one #hurmat

Supporting the young girl’s conflict, another added:
#Hurmat has spent her whole life under her father’s cruel restrictions,hoping of a future she could finally call her own. so if knowing about tabish’s past makes her scared of what that future might hold, her feelings are completely understandable…
