And so the Lion fought for his Lioness

Hello all you lovely people 🤗

I'm Ankita, and I'm basically an EHM member and a diehard VirMan fan. But since I find VirMan being ignored just like flies being disregarded by roadside vegetable vendors, I find myself writing on a couple that is starting to interest me a lot Asad and Zoya. I must say, I think I'm starting to fall for these two.

I absolutely loved yesterday's fight sequence and before I knew it, I had written a page about it, and I thought I'd share it with you guys.

And so the Lion fought for his Lioness

Asad has never been a man who bends down on circumstances. He fights his way out of them. But he has this inherent part of his character that allows him to make a few exceptions for a certain someone who has destroyed the peace and routine quietness of his life. He bends down, and offers her a hand, anger boiling in his veins; allowing chivalry to take over rage.

Asad may be the prince charming who came to her rescue, but she's no damsel in distress. If he was a lion, she was the lioness. She wouldn't take a helping hand from anybody, not when her hands were in full working condition. She wasn't sorry for her behavior, and she certainly hadn't forgiven the man who had yelled at her very certainly. But she did need to get rid of those goons, so she got herself up and readied herself for the inevitable fight.

There are moments in life where a feeling takes over you, and you kind of go through the motions. You don't know what you're supposed to do, because your mind feels numb and has stopped working. Your body refuses to respond. Are you dead? Of course not, your heart is still beating. So what was this? Love? Not really. This was disbelief. Zoya was incredulous at the fact that the man who never spoken for her, was now fighting to protect her. She just couldn't believe it.

Sometime in life, the things that pulls two people apart is the only thing that can unite them. Sort of like a zipper. Asad and Zoya were two individuals with polar ideals, and they both despised the others stubborn nature. But it was this obstinacy that made them take on the goons alone, without feeling the need to call the police or ask for anybody's help. They wouldn't hold each other's hand and fight the goons; no, holding hands was certainly not permitted. Yet. But falling into each other's arms had become routine by now.

He didn't want her to look up to him; not for protection, not for happiness, not for love, not for anything. He wasn't trying to be a hero. He was a lion, but she wasn't his lioness. He didn't need to protect her. He didn't want to her prince. He didn't need to. But he didn't know why, he just couldn't let her get hurt. He would rather walk over hot coals himself than let her feet be wounded. He would rather get his head smashed by a bottle than let a tiny shard of glass touch her.

Anger is a paralyzing emotion. You can't get anything done when you're angry. People think that it is an interesting, passionate igniting emotion, but it's not. It is helplessness at its worst; an absence of control over mind and heart. Asad's heart told him that he had done the right thing in protecting her, but his mind was filled with innumerable questions. It is true that a lion always protects his territory, but since when had Zoya become part of his territory? Why had felt the need to look after her? Why had he felt the need to protect her? Why had he felt a demon take over him the moment he saw Zoya's lips stained with blood? He didn't know. Not yet.

So there folks.

This was my first attempt at something related to Asad-Zoya. I hope you guys like it.

Let me know if you guys want me to write more.

Ciao.

Wow. I'm so glad to see people from other forums here! Welcome ;)
And your post..This is one of the best posts I've read so far! You've made Asad-Zoya rise a level higher for me. The way you explained the heart felt of each was beautiful. And the caps obviously added to the intensity! :D
You should write an OS, SS or FF on these two! You'd rock this forum! <3
Love.

Great analysis Ankita!

wowww a great writing ankita👏

Amazing analysis and very aptly titled..lion fought for his lioness.

I don't know if it was intentioned but when Asad maneuvered Zoya to do the kicking and punching herself, it seemed that Asad had finally come to terms with the fact that Zoya is not just any damsel in distress who will quietly stand in the corner and let someone else do her fighting.She would rather die than giving up her independence.

Liked it?! By God one of the best posts I've read here. You explained each and every action of Asad and Zoya so well. I'm slightly speachless now.

Thank you so much! I'm amazed at the response this one's got, considering it's my first on AsYa :)

SS/FFs are not really my thing (I have 2 pending FFs which I haven't touched in months!) I'm just not that patient. OS, hell yeah! I'd love to!

So why don't you participate in the OS writing competition we are having? :D
Check the sticky thread if you're interested! :) would love to read a piece by you 😃

Loved the way you analysed it. In fact, I think you've given this scene more than its due! Well, I mean you've got it bang on in terms of what they were trying to convey but some things didn't just cut it for me.

Thank you so much! And relax, it's a show, bloopers are part and parcel of it 😆

1. Asad asks Zoya "Are you ok?" - would have been more impactful if they showed his hand trying to reach her to help out first, and then Zoya shunning it.

Um, he DID ask her. He asked 'Are you okay?' and she said, 'Allah miya! What's wrong with you? Do I look okay?' and then he extended his hand.

2. Zoya's reaction: mainly her body language when she says "Allah Miya, what's wrong with you?" - the shrug was not typical of someone who had been slapped and was in a dangerous situation. Agreed she's spunky, but even the most brave of us all would be a bit unnerved by this.

It would have been more realistic if she was shocked on seeing him there, after all, it's not like she was expecting him there, was she?

Well, fictional characters do tend to get a little unrealistic at times, and though I too expected her to be a little unnerved, she wasn't. Well, that's the Zoya that's been written for us, I guess.

3. Goons typically aren't gentlemanly enough to wait till their victim and her rescuer finish their dialogues but these guys were rather polite 😉

Yeah, I noticed. Each other waited for the other to get bashed and then they took their turn. I guess they must have had some pretty tough disciplinary schooling. But if they went to school, I wonder how they became goons in the first place 😉

4. When Asad pulls her behind him - it would've been awesome if she looked at him in wonder cos after all this girl has fought her battles herself until now and that's why it didn't occur to her to hide behind him

Yeah, they missed that. They could shown Asad wiping off the blood from her lips, as a humanly gesture. It's what a guy would do. First make sure the girl is okay, and then kick some ass.

5. All the extra pauses when they're in each other's arms could have been shortened to give us a post fight scene

I swear! Did they just go home quietly after all that? I mean, that was just. UGH.

The poor guy got hit on the head by a beer bottle - her concern, maybe reaching out to ask if he's ok. Him shrugging her concern off

What also irked me a bit is that it would be realistic to show Asad needing medical care - he was bleeding. At least a band aid for god's sake! 😉 The next morning at his place, it seems like he wasn't in a fight at all! 😕

Yes, that bugged me. Wasn't his hand hurt as well? What is he, Wolverine? How did he heal that fast? Ah well, it's fiction. We shouldn't break our heads over it 😆

I loved the rest of it though, but these things would have made a GOOD scene PERFECT for me! 👏

Perfection often eludes TV soaps. Seldom, very seldom do we get a scene that is perfect in every sense. I do believe though that Karan and Surbhi will give us a perfect AsYa scene someday soon *fingers crossed*
