This may be a possibility of how the friendship track might begin.
Asad will come to know how zoya's been hiding Maryam. Maybe he will catch Maryam himself. Maryam will tell him how Zoya hid her in storeroom and how she's really scared, etc. Asad will feel bad and assure Maryam that he'll help. Dilawar mamu might show up again. This time both Asad n Zoya will help Maryam together. Through working together, Zoya will prob be the one who will ask to be friends. And hopefully Mr. Akdoo will give in and accept her hand in friendship 😃
At the moment, Asad wants to stay away from her so it seems confusing how they will become friends, but this may be one way. What do you guys think?
