"I love it too," she divulged.
"Really? That's good.. I know how to cajole you too now when you start crying," he chuckled."

""You said last night, that you thought that you didn't know what you saw in my eyes that day, love or pity. It wasn't pity, it can never be. It was love, admiration and respect...For you, for your struggles, for what you're made of. I can only be proud of you Zoya, and these scars on you are nothing to be shameful off.

"Woh sirf aapki beti nahi hai Asad, she is mine too, aur aapne ek saal bahut bigaad liya, now let me do it too.." she said sheepishly making Asad stare at her, and her bond with their daughter."
So is Mom and baby! š
Adore the over-protectiveness and concern that's always present within the both of them, especially Asad. š
