Lovely post 😊 Well explained.
But I was a bit disappointed when Zoe showed Asad the video and when he was in denial about it, she just left it there and then when she had a golden chance to probe him further and had the evidence in the form of his video. She knows by now that Asad stopped her because he feels something for her. Is it like they both have a habit of ignoring what's obvious and right in front of them?Any thoughts on the above?PS: Loved the quotes you used (Love Kahlil Gibran)
S,
I was angry with Gul because of Asad, actually.
I might mention it again in the diary. He was not making any sense- he knew he loved her- wanted to save her the pain of his imperfect love- lets her go- the mat jaa happens by a play of fate- till here, it was fine.
Then suddenly he takeds the coin and makes her stay back- what made him change? Why was he dilly dallying? If he had made the decision, he should've allowed her to go.
2 things I remembered-
1. Dilshad says- uss bichaari ki koi nahi hai.
2. He wants that smile back on her face.
And the best way to make her happy is to let her stay back- because she had alreday made that decision to stay back and he had been th eone who had pushed her in to going. It had become an ego hassle between them.At least, for her , it was- I will stya if and only if Mr. Khan says so...
And he did not say that because he felt that was not in her best interests. But when she was about to leavre, Zoya again expressed her wish to stay back, without him saying mat jaa- so it was clearly her decision alone. And she was happy with it, even though he had not asked her to.
This was a major realisation for me when I triesdd to crack Asad. And I was happy when it came to me. Otherwise he just did not make sense. I want to laud the creatives for this twist in teh story...it is a series of twists, na.
On Zoya not probing further- she is just fed up of his voltefaces. One moment he says he will accompany her to Badi Masjid, the next moment he is suddenly too busy.
SHE KNOWS! She knows that he cares for her- BUT SHE DOES NOT KNOW THE DEPTH OF HIS FEELINGS- so for her it is another game- Mr. Khan loves to hide- the dance which he obviously remembers (That is silly, according to her, because she knows they both remember it, and SHE DOES NOT FEEL ANY NEED TO HIDE- IT IS NOT EMBARASSING FOR HER, why is it so for him? ); and now he refuses to acknowledge that he cares for her enough to ask her to stop!
This has confused her.
Why can't he be straightforward?
If he cares, why can't he show? What is he afraid of? Zoya is expressive, and ASAD is REALLY emotionally challenged! Yesterday she did not probe him further, because she could see he was lying through his teeth.He had lied at the toss, then he lied about it, and now he was lying about him wanting her to stay back- in spite of the video.
And he suddenly, cleverly averted her attention by mocking at her- highlighting the differences between them- 1. That is foremost in his mind- their differences. 2. He knows she will bite that trap, so it is an easy way out of her interrogation!.
What do you think Zoya takes Asad's feelings 4 her to be?
I feel she is excited about th efact that Mr. Khan who wanted her out of his house the moment she set her foot in, wants her to stay back. He cares for her...like a...It is this part that is incomplete!
And he confuses her enough so that she does not ponder enough to fill in the blanks!
This is how I see Zoya right now. And believe me, I am always happy with her. Loved the way she barged in and left in a huff- so typically her, and so well Asad has learned to misguide her!😆
