So the clash between Zoya and Razia has been coming to my mind a lot too. Here's one idea that has been cooking in my mind. This is all a narration as of now because the idea is still forming. I will update if anything else comes to me.
Somehow Rashid and Zoya's phones get swapped. Zoya realizes this when she turns on the phone the morning after the factory interaction between Rashid, Asad, Zoya and Dilshad. She listens to a missed call by someone from Rashid's office, realizing whose phone this is she wonders what she should do. After seeing everything in the Gurya factory and after everything that has happened regarding the raaz Zoya is confused, scared and worried. She knows that the gun man who came to shoot Dilshad could be either Rashid or someone else who has some connection to the Siddiqui house. Going there would not only be a problem for her safety but could also create more misunderstandings. Although safety isn't her main concern a doubt crosses her mind regarding re-entering the house which is responsible for her phoophi's medical state. Zoya also realizes that Mr. Khan wouldn't exactly approve- he may even misunderstand her motives for going there. She has a flashback to the scene where Asad says " Agar aap ko kuch hoja ta to I would have gone crazy." Zoya feels as if she should talk to Asad regarding this.
Zoya walks over to Asad's room- his door is slightly open. She sees him sitting on the couch with his hand on his forehead- classic Asad thinking. The sun was just peeking through the curtains pulled in front of the windows giving his hair a golden glow. Just as she is about to knock on his door he looks up towards his closet and she sees a tear roll down his cheek. She feels the need to wipe away that tear- the need to reassure him, to encourage him. She is just about to walk in when she stops herself. She forces herself to knock on his door. Hearing the knock, Asad quickly gets up and wipes his face with his hands. Turning around he sees that it is just Zoya.
Zoya begins to talk:"wo, Mr. Khan mujhe aap ki help jhayeti", Asad looks at her a little surprised "Aap ko meri help kab se chahne lagi?" Zoya doesn't understand why but that stement from him made her feel a little crushed. She brushed away that feeling quick and said : " woh actually mene jab apne phone ko on kiya to pata challa ke ye mara na hi he. Mujhe lag ta he ki jab kal raat mein Mr. Rashid se takraei hum do no ke phones ghalti se switch ho gaye to'" Asad looks at Zoya in surprise again only this time at hearing Rashid's name. He looks at her and wonders what made her come to him for this. Before he could ask she continues "wo actually mujhe pata nahi ki mein kya karo. Kya mein kud unke ghar jha kar apna phone le awoo yeh phir kisi ko bhej do...us ghar mein actaully mujhe janne se pata nahi kuy koi uneasiness lag ra hi he. Besides mujhe nahi lag ta he ki app ko mera vaha jhana aacha lage ga", as soon as the last phrase was out of her mouth Zoya stopped. She couldn't believe what she had just said. Asad was also shocked on hearing this. "I mean, mujhe nahi lag ta mera waha jhana tik hoga so me aap ka opinion puch ne ayi", Zoya quickly said while taking a few steps away from Asad. Asad gained back control and said that it was a good thing that she came to him first. He tells her that he can't allow her to go to the house of his mom's shooter alone, he said in about an hour- if she wouldn't mind waiting that long- he would drive her there and she could get her phone back.
Zoya agreed- thanked him and left. Asad stood in his room confused at everything that just happened. Back in her room, Zoya sat down in her bed in shock. What had just happened? She couldn't make sense of anything. She looked at the clock and decided to quickly get dressed. Maybe a shower would help her clear her thoughts. In about 45 minutes, Zoya was ready to go. She arrived in to the kitchen just as Asad did. The two looked at each other and then moved to their respective seats at the breakfast table. Najma was already there with a tired Dilshad who looked on into space. "Salam-allaikum" Zoya said cheerfully. She knew that Dilshad must be thinking about last night, she couldn't see her phoophi like this and she tried to cheer her up. It was an awkwardly uneventful breakfast. Asad took one look at his mom and looked down at his plate. He drank his coffee not touching his plate at all. Najma caught the vibe and looked at each face. "Kya hooa?" She asked. Asad glanced up at Najma then back down, Dilshad kept staring into space thinking about the Raaz. It seems as if Zoya was the only one who heard Najma. "Kya hoga tamatar? Tum bi na.." Zoya began. One look from Asad made her stop and Najma felt as she was imagining the vibe. The look Asad gave Zoya clearly said that nothing was wrong- everything was normal.
Suddenly Asad gave Zoya a quick glance and signaled her to meet him outside. He excused himself and left the house. After a few moments, Zoya said "waise Phoophi, tamatar mujhe na koy kam hai so I'll be back soon ok- khudafis". As Zoya got up, Dilshad looked down at her plate and asked Zoya to be careful. Dilshad seems to be coming back from her thoughts. Najma bid Zoya farewell and began to clean the table.
Outside, Asad was in the car thinking about everything that had happened. He hoped that Zoya would not be in any trouble going to the Siddiqui house- that no one would see him with her- to avoid trouble. As Zoya walked to the car she saw Asad in deep thought- a worried expression flashed across his face now and then. She hoped that no problems would arise on this little trip. The ride to the Siddiqui house was pretty uneventful- however as they neared the house, Asad seemed to tense. Zoya had the urge to give him a reassuring hand squeeze but stopped herself. "Aap ghar me akeli jayegi'' Agar mein app ke saath jaooga to acha nehi hoga. Us ghar mein sirf Janab Rashid ko pata hai ki aap kon hai aur jo bi hoowa he uske baad who nahi chahege ki kisi ko pata chale ki aap con he. But please Ms. Farooqui, be careful" said Asad as he parked a block away from the house. Zoya looked at Asad and asked him what she should say. Asad said to keep the conversation short, to the point and asked her to come back out as soon as possible. He said that she should come back out in 10 at the least- he doesn't want her to be in such a place for too long. Zoya understanding gets out of the car. She walks up to the door and a feeling of uneasiness, worry and fear engulfs her. She feels the presence of Asad; she turns around to see that he has brought the car a little closer to the house. She turns to face the doors again, takes a deep breath and knocks.
The door is opened by one of the servants. He says "ji?" "Ji mein Janab Rashid Khan se milna chahti ho" says Zoya. Shireen hears this and asks for Zoya to come in. "Ji aap?" she asks. Zoya remembers Asad's words and replies "Ji wo actually mera phone Janab Rashid Khan ke phone se galti se switch ho gaya ta to bas mein aapna phone lene ki liye ayi ho". "oh, to actually aap ko tore dher intezar karna hoga- wo iswaqt ghar mein nahi hai lekin wo a hi rahe hai". Shireen responds. Zoya is surprised she suddenly hears Asad asking for her to be out in ten minutes. She turns back to Shireen and asks how long it will take for Rashid to get home. "Yoo he bus paach (5) minute aap behthye na please bus woh ate hi hoge" Shireen replies. Zoya is hesitant, she excuses herself by asking Shireen for a minute; she moves aside. She takes Rashid's phone (in her hand) and calls Asad "Woh actually mujhe shyed dus minute se zyada lag sag ta hai- woh abhi ghar pe nahi hai leking wo aara hai hai". Asad doesn't like this "aap phir wapas aajaye, hum phir ayege lekin us gahr mein zyada dher rukhne se aapko khatra ho sakh ta hai." He says. Zoya asks him if 5 more minutes would really make a difference. Asad takes a moment and given in but tells her that if she doesn't come out in the next 5 (extra) minutes he will come in there for her. Zoya agrees and silently hopes she can avoid that. Mr. Khan meeting his other family in the circumstance in which they were all in right now could be catastrophic.
Zoya turns back to Shireen. Shireen leads Zoya to the couch. She asks whether or not she'd like something. Zoya politely declines and compliments Shireen on the house. Shireen thanks her and excuses herself as a servant calls her. As she leaves, Nuzhat, Nikhat and Humiera come. They see Zoya and wonder who she is. Zoys recognizes Humiera she gets up and says hi. The three girls wonder who this girl (wearing a western attire) could be. Zoya then asks to Humeira "aren't you the one from the fashion show- you didn't want to walk out at the last minute right"? Humiera is horrified and asks Zoya not to mention this. She then asks how Zoya knew, Zoya says she was the woman in the (I don't remember what you call those things so this is what I am calling it) Hijab. Humiera is surprised and looking at Zoya says "aap?" Zoya realizes why Humeira is shocked and decides to change subjects. Nikhat and Nuzhat introduce themselves and Zoya picks up Nikhat's name. She has a flashback to Dilshad and Najma discussing how Nikhat had gotten engaged. She says " are, aap wo Nikhat to nahi jiska Nikah howa hai"? Nikhat and the girls are surprised. They ask how she knew. Zoye realizes that she shouldn't have said that comes up with an excuse- her friend said that her friend's friend's sister was getting engaged- she congratulates Nikhat and quickly changes subject.
Suddenly Razia comes out. She sees Zoya conversing with the girls and is shocked. "yeh larki yaha?" she wonders. She has a flashback to Zoya and Asad outside the factory. She wonders if Asad and Zoya are close to the truth and hence maybe that's why the girl was here. She also realizes that Asad couldn't be far behind- she looks around then puts a smile on her face and walks up to Zoya. When Zoya turns seeing Razia's face she is shocked. For some reason Zoya feels as if she knows this woman as if she has seen her somewhere before. Looking at Razia, Zoya is suddenly engulfed by the emotions she experiences when she has the nightmares regarding her mother and the fire. Zoya could feel a sudden tingling going through her burns. She looks at the woman in shock. Razia smiles at Zoya and asks "ji aap"? Zoya couldn't find the words to respond. Suddenly Shireen returns and answers Razia's question. "Bhabbi- zarasal inka phone Rashid ke phone ke saat badlaya gaya ta isi liye yeh yaha ayi hai- apna phone lene ki liye". Just then Rashid enters- seeing Zoya he is shocked. He looks at everyone's faces and sees that they are smiling. He feels a little reassured, this means Zoya didn't tell them about last night, but he needed to make sure.
"Ji aap" Rashid begins as he walks up to the group of women in his house. Zoya turns to see Rashid and has a very blank look in her face. However her eyes showed complete shock and disgust. After listening to Shireen and the girls she had been thinking about how Rashid had hurt these innocent hearts. She spoke in a calm yet stern voice. "woh mera phone aap ke phone ke sath switch hogaya ta to mein bus appna phone lene ayi hoon". She extends Rashid's phone, Rashid looks at Zoya with question, he then takes his phone and gives her her phone. Zoya then realizes that if she doesn't leave soon, Asad may storm in here. She turns to Shireen "ok, to ab mein chalti hoon. To, thank you phone ke liye aur I'm sorry meine aap sab ka time liya". Shireen smiles at Zoya and says no problem. Zoya looks at Razia and the tingling in her arm increases. She clutches her arm as a burning sensation begins. As Zoya turns away to leave, Nikhat stops her by saying "aap zara nashta to kha ke jaye- aap to kab se ya ha hai aur hum ne aap ko kuch diya bhi nahi". Zoya turns to Nikhat and smiles "aaj nahi, maybe some other time lekin agar mein abhi nahi gayi na to phir jahapanah mujhe dival mein charvadenghe".(I think this is the line, right?). Zoya gives a small, nervous, weak laugh while Nikhat, Nuzhat, Humiera, Shireen and Razia as well as Rashid give her a confused smile. Zoya bids them farewell once more and begins to walk out.
