Zoya was not familiar with this rude behavior of her husband. She was amazed witnessing it, so was disappointed. The day has half-ended but she hadn't got why was Haider so rude to her.
She tiptoed towards the kitchen in her thoughts and filled a glass full of water, gulped it down, and shrugged off her thoughts, "maybe office tensions"
She thought for a while and came to the decision, "yes. Maybe. He is getting busy day by day. And of the romance time, I was asking about others. Silly me"
She shrugged the thoughts off and wiped her lips from the tissue paper and was about to leave the kitchen when she collided with Dilshaad again, "aap", the only word that slipped out of her lips.
Dilshad left her alone and get all engrossed in her own dish which was cooking over the gas stove and switching it off, she filled three plates, one with boiled food and the other two with spicy, placing them in the tray, left the kitchen when something half-slipped from her lips, "may I he...", But she didn't hear deliberately and left the kitchen.
Zoya was amused with the behavior of Dilshad when she noticed her students have come to learn kathak, and she tiptoed to her dancing room. She taught the step first and then asked the girls with a smile, "now practice this one"
Zoya was personally examining each and every girl, whether they were doing right or wrong. If someone goes wrong she again teaches and then the one copies that step, particularly. At the same time, her eyes fell over a girl in her teen copying the step perfectly from head to toe every posture of hers was perfect.
Zoya was astonished by the position and posture she was doing with all dedication and a broad beautiful smile on her face. She followed the way which went to the path towards the girl and asked getting impressed with her, "perfect. You are so good", and applauded her.
The girl became conscious and widening the eyes ran away from there without wasting the time but she was late and collided with a heavy body. Witnessing the face, she widened her eyes even more, as she was scared and gasped loudly.
He came nearer to her looking at which Zoya was shocked. The girl immediately screamed out loud, "Bhai"
Listening to this Asad and Dilshad came out running and witness Haider tiptoeing towards the young girl. Asad instantly became a shield to her, "away from Najma"
"She is my sister too Asad, don't worry", Haider replied sarcastically.
Zoya came forward when she asked Haider, "what's going on?"
"Zoya my wife, you were asking about these beggars. She is my father's keep", Haider pointed towards Dilshad listening to which a tear fell down from her eyes.
He was smelling drunk when Zoya replied, "You're drunk, you know it is haraam"
Asad was about to kill Haider listening to these words for his mother but Dilshad stopped him.
"How dare you?", Asad glared at Haider.
Haider was about to fall when Zoya tried to maintain his balance, "left wife is like keep right"
"Haider", Asad clutched Haider's collar at the same time and clenched his jaw when Zoya requested, "please leave him, he is not in senses"
Asad thought for a while and then left his collar looking at Zoya, "did you know about us?"
She didn't answer wiped the corner of her eyes and took her husband to the room and laid down him to the bed. Azad's question was echoing in her ears. She immediately departed to the terrace when tears were flowing from her eyes.
She looked at her husband, "I wouldn't forgive you for this lie, Haider"
---
The sunset and the moon were rising, but Zoya was standing numb on the terrace balcony when Haider came and hugged her from the back, holding tight.
She shrugged off his hold and murmured, "why did you hide the truth?"
He took a deep breath, "after knowing it, would you have been accepted me?"
She turned towards him, "you were drunk too and I hate it"
"Do I have any option witnessing my father's first wife", he darted his eyes into hers.
"You could have use better language", she suggested and left from there covering herself in a duvet and the whole night spent of hers was in tears.

Very different concept.. Interesting.. I hope Zoya stands up for them now but why are they staying and tolerating this, I would assume Asad would take action. Continue soon

Loved it Aditi ... Awesome part... People like Haider for whom their ego & reputation is more valuable than someones life ... I still didn't get it that why Dilshaad chose to live with them? Might be we get this answer later ... Thanks for the PM ... Continue soon 🙂

Ohh damn that conscience.. zoya had that soul that pointed out good or bad but haider was a man full of his ego.. i wonder in future what would piss him off so much to give his wife the same.life and be the same man like his father, even though he hated that asoect of his life.. ITS TRUE REALLY NOW.. WE BECOME EXACTLY LIKE THE THINGS OR PEOPLE WE HATE WITH ALL OUT HEART.. AND THAT TRANSITION IS SO SLOW THAT.WE DON'T REALISE IT UNTILL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE.. thanks alot for the PM.. luv Rucha
