I would really, really, really hate for Zoya to be related to Mamu or Razia - YUCKS!
I know there has been some speculation about Mamujaan being Zoya's father and Razia killing Zoya's mother before the doll factory was burnt but its my hope that none of these are true.
***What we know from the story so far *** 🤓
1. Zoya doesn't know where her mum's grave is
2. Zoya's father (according to the old care taker) was in America for a while and only came back to Bhopal two years ago
3. Razia would defame her own daughter in front of anyone for her selfish gain
4. Zoya's aapi and jeeju don't want her to know about her past - because they do and they don't want her to get hurt
5. Zoya was in the factory but hasn't had any triggers about that place - only her nightmares
If Zoya's father left his ancestral home and went to America for some time that doesn't fit Mamujaan's life as he's been a builder in Bhopal all this time. I don't buy it either that he and Zoya's mother could have been involved because he and Razia seem so much older than Rashid and to be honest it gives me the heebie jeebies.
Possibilities - 🤔
I think that Zoya and Humeira are related - cousins maybe on their father's side and they share rights to property or wealth. Zoya's mother married into the family that owned the doll factory and maybe Mamujaan was working for Zoya's grandfather as his right hand man. Her grandfather & Humeira's dad dies and the doll factory is left to Zoya's dad.
Zoya's dad is not interested in running it but doesn't want to sell so people don't loose their jobs - he's a bleeding heart sort. Zoya's mother starts running it with the help of Humeira's mom.
Mamu is upset the factory wasn't left to him and conspires with Razia to burn it down so they can buy it cheap. Both ladies are working in the factory at the time and the girls are there with them.
Zoya's mum gets knocked out by Razia while trying to protect the girls and Humeira's mum confronts Razia who stabs her and kills her. Zoya's dad comes in time to save Zoya, her mum and Humeira but doesn't witness the murder nor can he find Humeira's mum.
Zoya's mum is ctrically injured and is taken hostage by some goons. Zoya's dad is devastated and leaves his home with Zoya to protect her. He asks Zoya's aapi and jeeju to take care of her and to keep her safe as its better if people think Zoya died in the fire too. He sends them all to NY to live.
Mamujaan and Razia offer to adopt Humeira because they know she still has some rights over ancestral properties somewhere but its only released when she gets married (requirements of the will maybe) and Zoya's dad agrees because he doesn't know that are behind this scheme. The property goes on sale and either Rashid or Mamu buys it.
Zoya's dad tries to track down the kidnappers and he eventually gets word that his wife was dead. He then goes to America to be with Zoya but the pain of losing his wife keeps him separate.
Zoya may know her dad or may have seen him somewhere as he would check up on her but never coming close. He finally went back to Bhopal because he found a lead that his wife was still alive. Not sure how Zoya found out about her dad but she follows too.
So I propose 😃
1. Zoya's mum is still alive but hidden/missing/hostage/maybe even no memory,
2. Zoya's dad is looking for his wife,
3. Humeira's mum was the woman killed in the fire
4. Razia/Mamu are not Humeir'a real parents but they have raised her lik their child.
5. Zoya knows or has seen her dad in NYC because he's lived close to her all his life but not coming close for fear of endangering her
I want Zoya to find her dad and to know that he loves her and will accept her and maybe even reunite her with her mother. Then her mother can deal with Asad and he would have to prove himself as a worthy husband if he wishes to marry her. He would have to gain Zoya's dad's approval first - I would pay to see that!!! 😆
