Zara and Junaid never had an affair. They had feelings for each other, but that's not the same as having an affair, practically. Zara never even expressed her feelings to Junaid for him or anyone actually. If I'm not mistaken, she never once tells him or anyone that she likes him, let alone loves him. Zara always held herself back when it came to Junaid because she felt that she was indebted towards Maliha..and then mentioning that she had feelings for Junaid aka Maliha's brother on top of it all? that would have been too much for Zara to express from Zara's perspective. She wanted to tell her, but she didn't know how to...but the BIGGEST thing of all is that Zara was oblivious to the fact that keeping her feelings for Junaid a secret would have Maliha practically ruin her life...and Maliha does exactly that. By the way, Zara explains herself to Maliha in the end as well.
Moreover, when Junaid visits Pakistan..HE's the one who always was expressive about his feelings for Zara. Zara never made an initiative to have their feelings progress into a relationship. It was Junaid..and let's not forget, Junaid never felt that Maliha would get ticked off by revealing the details to her later. My point in saying this is that Zara NEVER tried annoying Maliha about this. If she hesitated to mention this to her..then she also never ever crossed any boundaries with Junaid either. As I said, she never even told him that she LIKED him, let alone LOVED him. She kept her inner feelings to herself. She never expressed herself to anyone. It was all for a reason..if she couldn't express herself to Maliha then she couldn't go around expressing herself to anyone, even Junaid. And, after what Maliha did to her..Zara's feelings for Junaid became nonexistent as she suppressed them somewhere inside. So, in my opinion...Zara wanted to somehow tell Maliha...but just didn't have the courage to tell her best friend because this is the same best friend who literally would do anything for her (at least we all thought that). How do you go up to her and tell her that you have feelings for her brother? If you notice Zara's characterization from beginning till the end & keeping in mind what I mentioned as well..her not telling Maliha was in line with her character. I feel she had a reason for being hesitant and honestly with the way Maliha reacted, who could have blamed her? Maliha had absolutely no right to treat Zara like that no matter what. Zara NEVER ruined Maliha's life. Maliha however, did. It is perhaps arguable as to whether or not Zara should have expressed her feelings about Junaid to her best friend, but Zara never had any ill intentions ever. Maliha once again, did..Maliha was not a true friend to Zara...or else she wouldn't have screwed Zara over the way she did. She had no right, but she still did it because she felt Zara had to pay the price for keeping it all a secret SINCE Maliha always helped her materialistically in life.
Also, Maliha wasn't technically pissed that Zara kept it all a secret from her just because she kept it a secret..she was rather frustrated that Junaid fell for Zara, a low middle class girl. The thought of that even happening meant that Zara trapped Junaid into falling in love with her..and thus used Maliha in doing so. Maliha NEVER considered Zara a friend and her reason for doing whatever she did was her ego..not the fact that Zara and Junaid didn't tell her. You don't screw someone over, especially not your " best friend ", unless you've completely lost your conscience and have had your evil ego take over you. Maliha was never a true friend, regardless of anything Zara did or didn't do. Zara did not deserve the things Maliha did to her in any shape or form no matter how many times she refrained herself from telling Maliha.
