Not love.
Not even friendship.
Cordiality? Ha! Far from.
Strangers. Complete and utter strangers, that's what Asad and Zoya are.
Asad's anger was hard hitting (no pun intended) because some where I had convinced myself they were falling in love.
I wanted Zoya to walk out on him and teach him a lesson. But that's far from what's happening. She doesn't stay with him out of love but out of compulsion. If they were lovers, then I can judge Zoya for being spineless and taking things lying down. But she doesn't love him.
If they were in love then I can ask how did Asad show such anger towards someone he loves? How can he be a bad lover when he isn't a lover at all?
They are just two people who stay under the same roof.
Sure they are physically attracted but without emotional attachment, that doesn't mean much.
There is a big difference between the anger of a stranger and that from the one you love. Like if some random class mate who i have to see everyday but don't really care for, sees the way i dress and tells me about bad parenting, I wouldn't really care because they don't know anything about me. Sure I'd feel bad but I can't change schools.
Zoya doesn't have anywhere else to go. That's all there is to it.

PS- I am ignoring the slap and just addressing it as anger sans slap because if i don't i'll probably never be able to watch QH and then what will i do with my life? 😆
