Hussn ul Muaab Or (Saira Raza)- Episode 2 Review by Shoby

So here is the second instalment of Saira Raza's episodic novel Husnual Muaab. Lets see, what the episode has in it for the readers.

She has apparently saw this dream multiple of times earlier as well but every time her dream was ended rather abruptly, without giving her the opportunity to see the face of her beloved. Hoover this time, in her dream, Husnul Muaab was all set to meet one on one the most anticipated face and just before she was interrupted in between, she seems to have a glimpse of Musa B.

Khadeeja Begum has brought up her son Munna as a single parent after being the widow and that Munna is now the most eligible bachelor in town and if this was not enough, same Munna is now interested in none other than Maria who belongs to an altogether different religion (Christianity). Munna's real name & identity will surely be revealed in upcoming episodes.

The age with which Husnul Muaab belongs is no doubt the make or break age. It is now clear that Husnul is simply fed up of her conservative domestic family atmosphere and it is evident from her behaviour as well that she is everything but happy on her fate. Worse part is that she has started developing a rather forbidden feeling for someone who may never become her companion by any means. 

After trying his luck in Indian music industry, Musa B has realised that he has only one path to follow and that is to make Pakistan his home country the place to make a career in pop industry, so he retruns to the country and launches his first video song which goes on to become an instant hit.

Husnul is developing quite an interesting mode of love with Musa B who is hanging around with an actress Sheher'zaad. However their growing relationship is more of a materialistic in nature.

Meanwhile this real moody Sami has made the life of his cooks hell. But one thing is for sure, he has just said what I really feel and categorically say, Khana banana cook ka kaam hai, wife is kaam ke liye nahi honi chahiye. And needless to say, my wife is quite happy :-)

This episode introduced some more characters. a little cameo of a girl travelling trough a train in a foreign country, which I guess might be Scarlet, who is the love interest of Badr. Meanwhile, someone has Straggled and is now wandering in the deserted area of UAE and it is really not revealed who he is.

To me two of the scenes in the whole episode were excellent. The way Khadeeja was putting up her stance in the favour of her son was tremendously written by Saira Raza. I was bowled over for Khadeeja's sheer simplicity Saira narrated this Munna's proposal part in a masterly manner. I liked the term #SaabitKijiye and the elaboration of the same. My second favourite scene in the episode was the dream sequence. Beautifully executed.

This episode moved the story ahead in a nice brisk pace. It ended with two open corridors to move ahead the things. Husnul Muaab seems to be truly madly deeply in love with some one who does not even know her name (the latest singing sensation Musa B) and Khadeeeja has accepted what destiny has written for her Munna. She has given her nod for his marriage with Maria.
