Scene 1:
Location: Asad’s residence
Zoya tries to cheer up asad, when he expresses his concern for not being able to talk to either Ayan or nikhat. He thanks her, but she says that he shouldnt thank her for every small thing, as he should get used to wifely duties being performed by her. Asad asks why and who is this Mrs. khan that she is referring to. Zoya gets angry, and says that she would be Mrs. Khan and no longer Ms. faruqui, after the marriage. Zoya goes on a rant of nonsensical chatter, and asad reminds her that she was to go and get coffee. She shuts up and leaves, with a pouty face. Asad says that he thinks that nikhat wont have a problem, but he desperately hopes that its true.
