Hi everyone!!! Fellow QH maniac here! I live in the US and watch the shows online, so I always seem to be behind on all the comments and discussions, but I've truly loved reading everyone's thoughts on each episode! I will try harder to be more active 😊.
I've also been loving all these OS's from the many talented authors here. Hopefully you'll like what I've written here. This is my take on the Asad-Zoya scene after she leaves the breakfast table. In this universe, Asad never saw the pink iPad case, and Zoya came home alone ðŸ˜. Please read my story and tell me what you think! I haven't done a lot of writing, so any constructive criticism is welcome 😊. Sorry it's a little dialogue heavy...okay enough of me..on to the story!
Part 2 - pg 6 (https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/qubool-hai/3476535/ss-zimmedari-part-2-on-pg-6)

"I'm sorry Ms. Farooqi. Aap waha bus ke paas thi, aur maine aap ko wahi chod diya." Asad said, his eyes burning into the back of Zoya's head. After Zoya and Ammi both left the kitchen table, Asad sat wondering how quickly his life was falling apart.
Zoya slowly turned around to stare quietly at Asad. "Aap kyu maafi mang rahe hai? Aap ne jaanbujkar mujhe waha ne choda. I'm sure agar aap ko pata hota ke mein waha thi, aap mujhe help karte."
"Lekin - " Asad tried to interject.
"Lekin kuch nai Mr. Khan. Aap ko guilty feel karne ke koi zarurat nahi hai. Mein aap ke zimmedari nahi hoon. Mein apna khayal rak sakti hoon, and in fact, bachpan se meine khud hi apna khayal rakha hai. Mujhe aapse koi shikayat nahi hai."
Asad didn't know what was worse. That she didn't want to be his responsibility or the truth that he really couldn't claim her safety as his zimmedari. "Agar aap naraz nahi hai, to aap mujhe ignore kyu kar rahi hai?"
"Mein kaha ignore kar rahi hoon? Baat hi to kar rahi hoon aapse." Zoya tries to ignore the question.
"To aaj subha aap breakfast se kyu chali gai?"
"Mr. Khan, mein bas wahi kar rahi hoon jo aap hamesha se chaate aye. Aap ko aur apke personal matters ko akela chod rahi hoon. Meine aapko hamesha pareshan kiya, na? I'm really very sorry ki maine aap ko itna takleef diya. Magar aap chinta mat kejiye. Aaj se mein aap ko aur shikayat karne ki mauka hi nahi doongi."
Asad was confused. Hadn't they gotten past all this? "Ms. Farooqi, aap mujhe galat samaj rahi hai."
"Nahi Mr. Khan. Shaid pehli bar meine aap ki kahi hui baat samji."
"Meri kahi hui baat? Aap kis baat - " A strange sense of foreboding rose up in Asad. He felt like he was missing a large piece of the puzzle. But before he could inquire further,
"Asad?" Taanvir walked in.
