An idea what if???

Ok so tomorrow we have Asad confronting Zoya about the broken engagement.

My guess is he will throw accusations at her and not even try to see her side.

Zoya. My guess is she will not tell him anything. She will not say that she was afraid of marrying the guy or worried about losing the chance to find out about her past which is very important to her.

Zoya will say she made the right decision and that was confirmed when the groom's family behaved like caveman saying they will force her to marry Imran and then sent goons after her.

Zoya: is that what marriage is Mr. Khan? Force a girl to marry you. Then what is next - force me to spend the night with him? How is that right Mr. Khan?

Asad will be cruel and his mother will tell him to stop. He will go in his room. Zoya will head to her room to cry silently.

Next morning, Asad comes for breakfast. Nagma and Dilshad are quiet. No sign of Zoya.

There is a knock on the door and it's Imran. Asad assumes there are more cheques to sign. He asks Imran to come in and sit.

Asad tells Imran : I need to tell you something. My mother has allowed a distant relative to stay with us temporarily and I have found out that it is the same girl that you were supposed to marry. I had no idea Zoya was your fianc and she will be leaving in a few days.

Imran is surprised and says: Zoya is here?? She did not go back to New York? Is she ok? Can I see her? I have not seen her since the day the nikah was to take place. I have been so worried about her.

Asad is surprised that Imran still cares so much for the woman who humiliated him and his family. Asad's anger on Zoya is growing even more now.

At this moment Zoya comes out of her room. Imran and Zoya come face to face.

Imran: Shukr. Zoya I was so worried about you. Are you OK?

Zoya: yes, I am fine.

Imran: Zoya please forgive me. I had no idea that things would get so crazy. I knew my family would be upset but I had no idea they would say so many horrible things and send gundas after you.

Asad, Dilshad and Nagma are watching this confused. Imran is asking for forgiveness?

Zoya: I believe you. I know you didn't know the situation would get so bad. It's OK.

Asad can't believe this! First Zoya manipulates his mother into believing she is some poor helpless girl, then Nagma wants to spend all her time with her new BFF, and now this guy is apologizing to zoya when she left him?

Asad: what the hell is going on? Imran why are you apologizing to her? She betrayed you and humiliated your family. You have not been the same since the wedding day.

Imran: well of course, I have not been the same. Obviously I was worried and ashamed. Sir, now that you know everything you must understand why I feel like this.

Asad's face continues to show confusion. Imran looks at Dilshad and Nagma who are also looking confused and then he looks at Zoya.

Zoya: I have said nothing. Not to Mr. Khan. Not to my sister or brother-in-law.

Imran: (in disbelief) Why?

Zoya: I made you a promise. And when I make a promise, I keep it. Imran you also do not have to say anything. (she looks as her aunt and Nagma) the people that care for me, trust me. They do not ask for answers. (looking quickly at Asad and then back to Imran) and others ... people can think what they want. I am not responsible for what others want to think about me. I am what I am and I am satisfied with that.

Silence from all round.

Imran understands the situation now and speaks: Mr. Khan, my apologies. If Zoya has said nothing then you – and everyone – is still under the impression that zoya left me. That is not the truth. I did not give Zoya a choice.

Asad is shocked. What is this???

Imran: I never wanted to marry Zoya. I am in love with someone else. We had problems and broke up. At that time, Zoya's rishta came and my family said yes. I agreed and then my girlfriend came back. She is not a muslim. My family would never agree to this rishta but at the same time, I could not marry Zoya. If I broke the rishta, my family would disown me. Especially my uncles. They tend to be (hesitating, he looks at Zoya and then back at Asad) quite extreme. The night before the wedding, I had a few moments alone with Zoya and I told her everything. I told her that when we marry, I could never truly be her husband. I would forever love my girlfriend and I would not give her up. I know that was wrong but I was angry at the situation and I took it out on zoya. What kind of man marries and then cheats on his wife like that. (Asad and Dilshad have a haunted look on their faces)

Imran: I was very wrong. Next day at the nikkah, Zoya refused and my family went crazy. I was relieved and then felt horrible at the situation I had put Zoya in. Sir, the reason for my distraction and mistakes is that I have been feeling guilty and i desperately wanted to apologize to Zoya. Because of me, it is her name that has been maligned. Zoya, I am so sorry.

Imran goes on with his apology but it gets put into the background. Front and centre: Asad looking at zoya. Zoya looking at asad. Both remembering what the other had said.

Zoya looks away first. Looking at Imran, she accepts his apology and wishes him well. Zoya walks away. Asad looks on remembering Zoya's words: the people that care for me, trust me. They do not ask for answers. and others ... people can think what they want. I am not responsible for what others want to think about me. I am what I am and I am satisfied with that.
