Tanveer is milking it for all its worth. Asad is so caught about how he wronged Zoya that he is now ignoring everything else. He isn't thinking straight. He isn't questioning the incidents of the fateful day. He has accepted Tanveer's explanation and is only worried about Zoya.
We wait and wait for the day Asad starts investigating.
