She cannot deal with it. Angry Asad- No. Sad Asad- No way. Crying Asad- In no lifetime. Its strange that how closely Zoe is binding herself to Asad - psychologically, emotionally. Someone who is everything that she stands against of. Someone who is everything that the man of her kind should not be. Someone who she thought is good enough to look at but not good enough to fall in love with or imagine a life with. Against her persona, her every thought and in complete oblivion, Zoe has bound herself to Asad in compassion, in emotion, in an unsaid relationship that she will never get out of.
She has seen the worst of Asad, seen the flicker of the best in him , sees him in 24,000 moods in 24 hours, laughs when he just rolls his eyes and gives her a WTH look, saddens when he does not pay her attention or listen to her, cries when he pushes her away. And yet, she has accepted Asad as he is. The MCP, the orthodox authoritarian, the emotionally volatile side of him, his refusal to open his heart and shut her up - Zoe has accepted and understood it all. Is she even aware of the fact that the way she has accepted and embraced Asad is against all the ideologies and convictions she stands for? No. She is oblivious to the fact that her compassionate flawless heart fell in love with his complicated flawless heart.
Zoe , without judging Asad even for a millisecond, ran to his aid the moment she heard the sounds from his room. No fear of his temper, no fear of what he would say or do - she ran to him inspite of closed doors. If he didn't open the door, she forced her way in. Scared for him . Not of him. His agony and his injury showed up in her eyes and on her face.If he suffers, she suffers. She cleaned his wound but the pain on her face continued. She has always been a compassionate person but with Asad, its always emotion. Even later, even though she should have left Asad alone and concentrated on an ill Dilshad, her heart took her back in there - with Asad. In the precap, Zoe is being a pampering mother, instead of a Pampered Princess. Just so that she can see Asad talk, smile, normalize , snap out of the trauma , even if to tighten his jaw and say - Miss.Faaruqi, aap mere kamre mein kya kar rahi hain?
Sometimes, you fall in love with someone along the way , walking together, growing together, evolving together, being each-other's balance and foil. You come to a point where you have woven someone so intricately into your soul, that if you were to be pulled away, you would live rest of your life with a hole punched through your heart. Asad and Zoe are that kind of soulmates.
Its symbolic , how we have often seen Zoe looking at the closed door of Asad's room. Sometimes knocking , sometimes banging , sometimes walking in, sometimes forcing her way in and sometimes... looking at his door with tears in her eyes. She has always hated that door and she still does.
As for Asad. what Karan said today sums it all - Zoya is Asad's biggest emotional support at this point of time.
Asad has tapped into his pent up childhood trauma. And more than reality checks and sermons, he needs a hand at the back of his head that says - Everything is going to be okay and you are going to make it okay.
