Chapter 2

Zoya woke up early in the morning which wasvery unusual for her.

Zoya: Allah miyan what's wrong with me. Mainitni jaldi kaise ut gai. Maybe because I have to take upon new responsibilityfrom today. Thinking about it she started to blush.Allah miyan nahi zindaginahi shuruwat. Bas sab kuch ache se ho

After she got fresh and came out of therestroom she saw tanveer sitting on her bed.Upon seeing how happy zoya was shestarted taunting her

Tanveer: Smile zoya smile. Smile as much asyou can because ab kuch ganto me teri ye smile hamesha kiliye rukenge.

Zoya: Teri kehne pe toh kuch nahi hoga haitanveer. Agar Allah ki mersi ho toh main zindagi par smile karungi. Dekha terismile ki saath teri harkaton ko bhi rukne wali hain.

With that tanveer smirked at zoya and left.

Zoya was scared every single time she didsomething or the other to stop everything.

Zoya: I just hope iss baar kuch galat naho. 

Although she tried to  calm herself downshe was still very anxious. 

Zoya:Kya Mr.Khan mera saath sach me denge orphair har bar ki tara iss bar bhi apni tanu ki taraf dar karenge. Yeh zillelagiki bhi koi barosa nahi hai. Allah miyan pls help me.

As zoya was rattling with herself dilshad cameover to checkup on her honewali bahu and figured that something was botheringher.

Dilshad: Kya hua zoya 

Zoya: who kuch nahi phuphi bas aise

Dilshad: Kya kuch nahi I know you are nervous about this wholewedding fiasco. But don't worry everything will be ok. The wedding will go asplanned. Agar tumhe iss wedding se zyada apni marriage pe parishani hai thendon't worry Masha allah tum usko bhi koobi nibaugi like everything else.Butusme bhi tumhare koi na koi innovation hogi uske saath. I believe in you.

Seeing zoya still anxious dilshad continued 

Dilshad:  Agar tumhe apni marriage se zyada apni miyaan separishani hai toh don't worry he will always be with you. Because he loves youzoya. I know eventhough he hasn't conveyed that to you I know he loves verymuch. Thoda ziddi hai mera beta but bohot pyaari bhi. Allah tum dono ko hameshakush rakenge. Tum jaldi sab kuch pack karo hum wedding venue par jana. WahanJane ki baad tum tayaar hona. Aur teri aapi airport gai hai tumhare jeeju kopick up karene Keliye. Woh bhi aajayegi. Tik hai

After speaking with dilshad zoya felt a little strong. She andnaima packed all the stuff and left in a car to the venue.

Asad and dilshad also packed and were ready to leave when he sawtanveer

Asad: Kya hua tanu tum ready nahi ab tak

Tanveer: Woh jammy hume toda kaam hai aapko or zoyako gift lena haiso I will come on my own you pls go 

Asad: Okay come soon

With that asad and dilshad left 

Tanveer: I will come jammy without my presence how can thingshappen poor asad and zoya.

After zoya and najma reached the venue they were suprised to see that Zoya's jiju anwar was there already.

Zoya: Allah miyan Jiju aap. I am so happy that you have  it here all way from new york. Thank you so much

Anwar: Kaisi nahi aati, akir meri saali ki nikaah and I wanted to meet the man jo yeh chamatkar karke dekaya

Zoya: Kya Chamatkar jiju

Anwar: Yehi jo main aur teri aapi ne nahi karparithi for so long

Zoya:???

Anwar: Arre teri nikkahh

Zoya:Jeju... aap bhi na

As they were conversing dilshad and asad came there and wished zoya's jiju

Dilshad and Asad: Salaam Allaikum

Anwar: Wallukum asalam, kaise hai aapa

Dilshad: Badiyan , akir aap ki ghar ki khushi toh dere hai aap hume (referring to zoya)

Anwar: Woh toh hai, humne toh isse aap ki ghar me kuch din rehne keliye beja aur aap ne isse permanently yahan rakne ki planning banaliya.

Dilshad: Haan kyunki jab woh isne humari ghar pe khatam rakhi sirf roshni hi hai, aur iss roshini itni aasini se nahi chodegi hum

Anwar: Hai toh woh. Zainab aur mujhe iss baat ka daar thi ki kahi humari zoya ki bolepan ko koi fiyda na utale. Ek aachi ladka ka talaash thi hume. Ab jab woh milgaya hume ab koi parishani nahi.

Zoya: Jiju kya main aapko itni din parishan kar raha tha??

Anwar: Woh main kaise bataon zoya. Hum sach bolum ya phir joote

Zoya: Sach

Anwar: Parishan nahi but bohot zyada parishaan

Zoya: Jiju

Hearing it everyone laughed including asad. He realised how much attached zoya was with her adopted sister and brother in law

Anwar: Actually sach bolna toh apni aapi se zyada toh parishaan nahi karti ho

Zainab: Anwar aap bhi shuru hogai kya dekte hum aap ko akele main

Anwar: Arre dekha na asad mia kya haal mein hai hum. Get used to this and infact learn from me kaise handle karti hoon parishaaniyon ko

Zainab: Anwar bus bohot haogaya, ab sab jake taiyaar hona der horiyiye.

Anwar: Haan yes go get ready, aur asad miyan come with me, let me tell you more about the parishaani

Zoya: Jiju

Anwar: I meant zoya

After that everyone went to their respective rooms to get ready while asad and anwar spoke

Anwar: Kya asad kya aap wakaime khush hai?

Asad's silent smile said it all

Anwar: Hain thoda musibat but bohot nadaan hai woh. I really glad that allah ne usse tum jaise ek life partner deraithe. Because tum jaise samachdar insaan ki zaroorat hai usse. She can be childish at times and behave immaturely too but just remember it is her way of dealing with situations. She doesn't like anyone to know her weakness and feel pity towards her. Uski har bachpan ki harkat ki peeche uski pain chupa hua. Although she has us , she feels alone in the world. She also wanted a family of her own. Thats why she was always hesitant of her marriage. She was scared because this is the first relationship she is ever gonna have. But when I saw her now I didn't see any hesitation in her eyes, because I know she is sure about you. Akir jo kuch bhi hua uski saath she does deserve happiness, and I hope you will give her that. She was just 10 when zainab and I got married, she felt more like a daughter to me than a saali, all I ever want is her happiness will you give her that asad.

Asad: Zoya ab meri zimidari hai. Uski kushi se badkar ab kuch nahi hai mujhe. Uski haar wish ko main puri karoongi.

As they werev getting ready guests started to arrive. Ayaan along with Humeira and his sisters Nikhat and nuzat reached early to support the dulha and dulhan, while the elders were planning to come a little late.Dilshad who got ready early in order to invite the guests saw them.

Ayaan, Humeria, Nikhat,Nuzat:Salaam Allaikum

Dilshad: Wallukum Asalam 

And everyone was hesitant about what to speak next. Dilshad broke the silence

Dilshad: Asad uppar apne kamre main 2nd Floor 3rd Room aur zoya 4th room. 

With that she smiled at everyone and left. All were happy and moved to go to meet the couple. The girls went to meet Zoya and ayaan went to meet asad.

Ayaan: "Kitni tareef Karun mai teri muskaan ki

              Kitni tareef Karun mai teri muskaan ki 

              Banjao bahu meri ammi jaan ki"

Asad: Moodkar dekhne bhi zaroorat nahi hai kyun itni gandi shayari toh sirf do log karte hai, ek toh abhi busy hai so obviously it has to be you.

He went forth and both shared a hug.

Ayaan: Kya baat hai dulhe miyan iss baat pe bhi apni biwi ki yaad???

Asad flushed but still managed

Ayaan: Bekaar baatein band kariye aap janab

That's when ayaan noticed how handsome his brother looked. Nothing extraordinary. Just a white kurta, but still looked so graceful in it.

Ayaan: Aap ko dekar aapki dulhan hi hosh toh ud jayega.

Asad: Ayaaan

Ayaan: Ok bhai, jokes apart are you really ready for this marriage? or are you doing this for dilshad ammi?

If it was old asad he would have hesitated but now all he ever wanted to achieve was zoya's happiness

Asad: Baliye yeh rishta joot se shuru hua ho, but ab it's not because she means everything to me.

Ayaan was amused at asad's reply. He has never seen asad react this way to anything in his life so far. So he realised that his brother must truly love his best friend. Mona tum ready rena.

Ayaan: main toh khush hoon aapko aise dekte huye bhaijaan. Masha allah I wish you both all happiness. By the way I did detect something between you long time back, all those falling down on eachother all accidental fallings. Lekin ab aya samaj me.

Asad folded his fist and moved towards ayaan, but he ran from there saying he was going to help dilshad.

Asad was glad although he didn't like those people coming here he felt a little relaxed.

On the otherhand all the girls were pulling zoya's feet.

Najma was helping zoya to get ready. She wore half white and maroon long dress along with green dupatta and a red shawl covering (exactly the same wedding dress she wore for her and asad wedding)

Humeria, Nikhat,Nuzat: Masha Allah kitne khoobsurat dulhan

Zoya was ecstatic seeing all the three there

Zoya:Allah miyan all of you here. I am so happy you could make it

Nikhat:Hum nahi ayengi toh kaun ayega. Akir humari bade bhaijaan ki nikaah hai. Dekhna hai humaari asad bhaijaan dulhan kaisi hai. Hai na najma bhaji

Najma: Haan yes

Zoya: You too tamatar apni beheno ki saath milke apne bhabhi ki masaak udaraiyo

Humeira:Kyun tang karai hi ho aap mere bhaji ko

Hearing it zoya became emotional and started to tearup

Humeira: Arre kya hua apni itni emotional kyun hogai

Zoya:Bachpan se aise family keliye tadapra tha maine aaj jab tumne mujhe aise bulaya mujhe bohot acha laga

Humeira: Ab toh bohot sari rishtey aanewali hai aapko 1 devar 3 naanad.....

Zoya: Woh toh hai

Humeira: Waise kya kaha tha apne nikhat bhaji?  Humari iss pyaari dulhan ko dekhe aap ki asad bhaijaan ki hosh ud jayengi

Listening to this funny banter she realised this how family will be and she was glad because soon she was going to part of it.

Slowly the guests started arriving and even the elders of Rashid and gaffur reached. Dilshad wished them formally. Asad just stood there silently.

As all this awkward and yet happy things were happening, tanveer on the otherhand was busy planning her biggest chaal of all time. It was finally time to execute it. She was waiting for the oppurtunity for asad to to be alone to begin her plan.

Asad was standing alone and was talking on the phone when a old looking stranger came there to him.

Old man: Ji yahan zoya farooqi kaun hai

Asad: Ji why are u asking about her

Old man: Ji I have brought a very valuable information regarding her abbu.

Asad: Zoya ki abbu. Lekin unki entakaal hogaya hai 

Old man:Ji nahi woh abhi bhi zinda hai

At the moment he realised it was something really important and took him his room to talk alone. Throughout the way all he thought was how happy zoya would be when she finds out if her father is alive. This would be the best wedding gift for her.After reaching his room he spoke up fast.

Asad: Ji boliye is he alive

Old man: Yes he is very much alive, look this is the copy of picture zoya gave to me when she was looking for her abbu. I had it with me all the time and somehow met a friend of mine who knew who this person was and told me that he is very much alive.

Asad: Are you sure about his identity, because earlier we found out from a person that he died.

Old man: No this is 100% reliable, because I have verified by my self

Asad: Ok ok tell me who it is?

Old man: Ji unka naam hai Gaffur Ahmed Siddqui

Asad felt as though the ground below his feet was sinking. 

Note: In my story razia does not tell dadi about her husband's past and also asad and zoya does not know about the gudiya factory fiasco where they trace out rashid while he was removing the skeleton. It's just that that razia killed zoya's mother and informed gaffur about it, and he somehow indirectly instigated Rashid to burn down the factory, after doing which Rashid finds the body and dumps them. Also the gudiya factory is not in his name but a anonymous name.

Also pls comment on the story by which I may know your support.

Thank you.

Precap: Asad's decision????
