Distances have reduced, especially after the time Zoya and Asad have spent together at the orphanage. They started having long phone conversations, meeting for coffee or lunch with just an excuse like marriage preparations.
Once the workaholic Asad has forgotten to call Zoya as he was so busy in his office work, but when he came back to the home, being realized his phone was on silent mode because of the meeting and it had umpteenth missed calls from the same name Zoya.
"Oh, my god!! 13 missed calls... pata nahi aj to maar hi dale Jhansi ki raani." he thought, when he realized that slowly, Zoya has possessed a right over him.
He tried her phone number umpteenth times, but he could not contact her which worried him for her safety, so he called on her landline number, "Hello!!", Humeira picked it up.
"Hey humeira!! Is Zoya at home?", asked Asad in worry. "Ji Bhaijaan what happened?", confused Humeira replied whereas as Asad took a deep sigh in relief, "Please thanedarni ko phone to do...", he chuckled which forced humeira to burst out with laughter.
"haha!! Oh to apko thanedarni..i mean aapi se baat karni hai...Wow I did'nt did not know about the feelings of you and thanedarni", she teased him while sounding every word clearly.
"Stop teasing! And handover the handset to your sister.", Asad blushed a little while looking towards the floor.
She laughed out loud, "Don't worry, I will not but talk to me first", smirking Humeira said.
Suddenly Zoya arrived and obliviously questioned her, "How many times I have to tell you to not talk with Ayaan on the landline number", and smacked her head.
"It's not my Ayaan, but your Asad," Humeira taunted her sister, making an innocent face.
At which Zoya coughed, "Go inside, all the rubbish comes from your mouth"
Humeira mockingly went inside her room, and Zoya wasn't at all in a mood to talk with Asad, "Wrong number, call later", and was disconnecting the call, but heard a giggle from Humeira's room's door.
Zoya rudely asked, "Tell me, I don't have enough time", pretending to be so busy.
Asad said, "Ah...who...actually...", listening to this Zoya rolled her eyes and mimicked him, "who...actually...do you have to say something or not?", feeling bore.
"Z.. zoya! Ac..ttually I was bus...", he started stuttering, but she interrupted in between, "You were busy in your office work...", she casually mocked.
"H..How do you know?", amazed Asad. "Duniya mein esa koi kaam nahi jo Zoya farroqui nahi kar sakti", Zoya conceited and continued herself, "By the way.. Why the hell did you named me that? ", greeting her teeth and showed towards the name he has given to her, thanedarni.
"Because.. You are", Asad emphasized all three words and immediately cut the call and left Zoya with the open, perfect "O" shaped mouth. She settled both of her hands on her waist and spoke, "Mr. Khan ke bacche".
The day, the incident, their one sentence, made them realized that every shade of them was opposite, like black and white, but one shade was still common, the shade of understanding and care for each other, the turquoise shades of love.
