Wow, this was indeed a much neede post & that too coming from you means a big thing. you know why? because you always write down everything in such a subtle & beautiful way that the message is passed ahead without any badtameezi.
Asad really needs to read & heed this one. warna no one, NO ONE, can save him & his life from ruining. it has almost ruined by his own stupidity of throwing Zoe away from him but still he needs to act upon it & try clearing the misunderstandings before the rift drifts them to apart to no point of return.
I agree with you that Asad always holds his earlier old relations more close to him than the one on which his whole soul& life depends. How can Asad just think that by saying a few words he'll console Zoya. he should go out search for the answers that led to this crooked fate.
okay there's a lot that Asad NEEDS to DO but who will force him is still a question, kyunki if left on him, he'll only do the thing he's best at, bawling his eyes out in Zoe's memory. My dearest Dumb Ahmed Khan, instead of sitting & relishing the past, please go & bring back your sunshine. it's a request.
