Future predictions - Sacrifice

Following the New York Times article; it does appear that Zoya will be torn between Assad and Ayaan but the question is will Assad sacrifice his love for Zoya? From where I see the story going, Assad might be the one to fall in love with Zoya first...Zoya not attracted to him but Ayaan. Then, she marries Ayaan, gets divorced and the later in order to marry Ayaan again, she marries Assad.

Of course the idea of her consummating her marriage with Ayaan and then later Assad does bug me but this is the team who brought us another show where a woman was initiate with one brother and later finds herself falling in love with his brother (who kind of reminds us of Assad).
