Great post Rivs. Nice way of looking at things.
This new track, Zoya in SM, gives the show and the story a whole new dimension. This track will probably be more aggressive as in Zoya will clash with a few family members: especially with Razia.
I think, it will take time for Ghafoor to accept or to create a soft spot for her since he clearly remembers that she was the girl at the orphanage.
Remember at the Jashn-e-Eid, where he wanted to bless her but hold back? I think that will also happen in the SM.
Like Asad, Ghafoor does not approve of her modern mind and the way she behaves and all but on the other hand, he will know her and see that she is a caring person with a heart of gold. Plus, he might feel a fatherly love for her.
Zoya-Humeira: If Ayaan had explained everything into detail to Humeira and if she is understands it then she might support him in his decision. Both the couples had promised to be there for each other no matter what. Humeira has loved Ayaan from the day she was born 😆 and finally he has expressed his feelings for her as well. So she won't let him go that easily. Asad, on the other hand, will be deeply hurt and perhaps gets back into his angry and aggressive mood.
Anyway, coming back to the relationship of the two sisters. I think they will share a good bond in the beginning. Perhaps, Zoya is that sister which Humeira never had and desired to have. (Nikhat is totally the opposite of Zoya) I think the clash of the sisters will began after the Ghafoor track starts, especially when the raaz will be out about Razia.
Another possibility is: suppose Ghafoor accepts Zoya and gets extremely fond of her, Humeira might feel she is being neglected. Thus, she will start to dislike Zoya.
Zoya-Razia: I don't have to explain this...right? 😆
