PART 18
Zoyas Room
Zoya went to her room to see it in the same state, the room was a little more neat but the same curtains, same bed sheets, pillow covers, duvet, everything was the same and a photo frame of her on the beside table. She went and picked it up and saw that it was a photo taken by Najma forcefully with her bhaijaan on Valentines Day. She carassed it and opened the drawer to keep her personal things she saw her music ball rolling inside it. Zoya was astonished to the core how did this ball come here, it was with her and she had indeed taken it with her when she went back to NYC. She thoughh she will ask Ammil and Najma about this. She went to freshen up to the washroom. She tried to opent the tap but it was too tight for her. So she went out and came back with a hammer and hit it hard on the tap that it broke and water started splashing, hearing the sound, Asad rushed into her room to find her in a pink bathrobe upto knee length and loose wet hairs. That look was creating havoc in him and he quickly turned away Zoya was too embrassed that Asad saw her like this. she immediately pulled the bath curtain. And said "Vo pipe khul gaya aur pani ruk nahi raha hai." Asad was turned back and he said "aap curtain peeche hi rahi mein kuch karta hoon and he stopped the main faucet below the tap. The water stopped. Zoyas thin white legs were visible below the curtain and Asad was having hard time controlling him. He said "Ab teek hai, main jaa raha hoon. aap aram se fresh hojaye" Zoya said "okay thanks" Zoya when Asad had gone immediately locked the bathroom door and took shower. She was having wierd sensations in her when she was standing under the shower. She started thinking what happened at the door bell, in the car etc. And she whispered, "Muje yeh sab asli kyun lag rahe hain, yah allah meri maddat kar" and she quickly came out and dressed up in one of her favourite white nighty pyjama and kurta and went out for dinner.
Kitchen
Dilshad was preparing dinner and Zoya went to help her. Zoya was standing near the gas stove and frying something as per Dilshads instructions. Zoya being Zoya was working in a haphazard manner that she managed to tilt a jar of water kept on the counter and it accidently fell into the boiling oil and oil started spluttering all over and immdiately it caught fire too. Zoya was seeing high flames before her and was sweating profusely.Dilshad came over and swtiched off the stove and shouted "Asad". Soon Dilshad took some sand from the flower pot beside and put in the oil to extinguish the flames. Soon zoya had frozen to the spot and had started seeing the old same scenes of her ammi burning. She was getting panick attacks and almost fainted. Asad was coming out hearing his ammis voice and saw Zoya fainting and immediately rushed to her side and caught her before she hit the ground. He picked her up in his arms and took her to her room and placed her on her bed. Dilshad also followed. She said ' Asad hume doctor bulana padega shayad" Asad called for a doctor.
Zoyas room
Asad was sitting beside and wiped her forehead with a towel. He was visibly disturbed by seeing Zoya like this. Meanwhile doctor came. She examined her and said it was just a panic attack and she needs mental rest and try to keep her happy. Asad thanked the doctor and came into Zoyas room. He saw Dilshad sitting beside her and caressing her forehead. Najma had come out for dinner and seeing no one outside she came to Zoyas room seeing it open and saw Zoya. she was very happy to see her. Dilshad said "no najma not now, she really needs rest, Kal baat karlena. Dilshad said she is going to be with Zoya in her room for tonight and everybody can have the dinner which has been made and can settle for today. Asad didnt want to leave Zoyas side at all but on Dilshads insistence he left half mindedly. He and Najma had dinner and Asad took one plate to ammi also. She had been keeping her head on the headrest and was holding Zoyas hand also. Asad came and said "Ammi kuch khalijiye tab tak mein ruk tha hoon zoya ke paas." and he made Dilshad sit in the side table and have dinner while he sat beside Zoya. He wanted to tell ammi about todays happenings but at this moment he thought. Dilshad asked " Asad tum bohot pareshan lag rahe ho, kya baat hai? Asad started " Ammi mein apse kuch kehna chahtha hoon. aap shanti se suniye" and he completed. Dilshad just smiled. Asad asked "Aap muskura rahi hai itni serious baat mein bhi?" Dilshad said " Asad these are signs from above. Allah ke ishare kabhi galat nahi hote. Dekho tum aur Zoya apne aap se bhaag rahe the, tho allah ne rasta dikhaya hai, usse qubool karo, khule dil se, poori shiddat se" Asad said "Par zoya, zoya ke liye yeh sab nakli hai." Dilshad ":To Asli banao Asad, tumhe phir se ek mauka mila hai, usse dil ki baat kehdo. mujse vada karo Asad ki tum iss sagaai ko nakli nahi samjo ge. Tumhare paas nikah tak k waqt hai. tab tak zoya se apni dil ki baat kehdena." Asad said. "Ammi mein koi vada nahi kar saktha, par koshish zaroor karoonga." Dilshad saw her emotionally challenged son and said"Zoya teek hi kehti hai,m tum emotionally challenged ho." Asad said "Ammi " Dilshad "Kya ammi, ab ammi ka pallu chodo aur Zoya daman pakdo" Asad turned his head away in embarassment and quickly went outside saying that he needs to sleep.
Next day morning
Zoya got up with a heavy head and was feeling dizzy also. She remembered the yesternights happenings. She held her head with one hand and walked towards the washroom. She had still not got over the incident. She came out freshned with a lame gait and Asad was seeing her walking clumsily from the dining table. She was still holding her head with one hand. She came and sat at her usual place. Najma also came and Dilshad also sat. Zoya was quiet and did not talk much. She suddenly noticed something and asked "Tanveer kahan hai?" Kal raat se dikhayi nahi diya?" All the three looked at themselves and then realised that Zoya doesnt not about Tanveers departure and her whole preggy fiasco. Najma was about to reply that Dilshad rolled her eyes and said. "Uska kaam khatam hogaya issliye vo chali gayi" Zoya said "Oh ok". She ate her breakfast and retired to her room. After she went, Asad asked "Apne sach kyun nahi kaha?" Dilshad said "Asad doctor kya kaha tha kal, she should be free from any kind of mental pressure she had recovered from one shock just now. I will tell her when the time comes, dont worry." Asad said okay and left for office.
Zoyas room
Dilshad came to her with a cup of coffee and sat down beside her and patted her face. Zoya smiled. Dilshad asked "Kaise ho, bohot dino bad mili ho aur teek se baat bhi nahi kar payi." Zoya continued smiling. Dilshad asked with a small request in her eyes, "zoya kya mein tumse kuch maang sakti hoon.?" Zoya said "Kyun nahi phoppi aap mangiye to sahi" Dilshad said "Zoya mein tumhe apni bahu banana chahti hoon, kya tumhe yeh qubool hai?" Zoya was staring at Dilshad for this request. she said "Phoppi ,mein bohot khush kismat hoon ki muje app jaise saas mile, app mein muje meri ammi nazar ati hain. par kya aap ne Mr. Khan se baat ki hai.? Kya unko yeh faisla manzoor hoga?" "I mean he doesnt like me at all, aur mere taur tareeko se vo chid the hain, aur mein unki perfect life partner ki idgid kahin bhi nahin hoon." Dilshad replied in one sentence. "Pyar yeh sab nahin dekhta zoya, vo hojata hai" She got up and walked upto the door, agar Asad mangaya to kya tum maan jaogi?" Dilshad was waiting for an answer but seeing Zoya silent, She said "Kya mein iss khamoshi ko ekraar samjoon?" Zoya finally said, "apki marzi". Zoya didnt know why she told like that but she felt it right. Zoya knew that already they planned a fake engagement but this one from Dilshad was not a fake one. She kept on tossing and turning in her bed thinking of the consequences of an engagement with Mr. Khan.
Two days later , A Hall
Asad and Zoya were seated in two chairs in the middle of big hall and they were looking like show pieces. Everybody came upto them saw them congratulate them, some gave gifts some flowers, some emptly handed like Hasina bi. Both were pissed off really standing and giving smiles to each and everybody. Asad saw Ayan coming with Nikhat, Nuzzat and humera, nobody else was with them. He was happy to see them only. Everybody came to them and wished them. Zoya was wearing a white lehenga with golden works and a sky blue backless choli. Asad was wearing a black and white suit with a sky blue hanky in his pocket to match Zoyas attire. Ayan Asad Zoya Humi, Nikhat and Nuzzat everybody took a family snap. Soon Dilshad announced the ring exchange ceremony. The spot light was on Asad and Zoya. Asad took out the ring from his pocket which ammi had given him and took Zoyas hand in his and he slided his hand to the fulll length of Zoyas plam and held her hand sofly. Zoyas had har time feeling Asads touch. She closed her eyes. Asad slipped in the ring and gave a half smile at her. Zoya opened her and saw Anwar and Zeenat standing next to her holding a ring. She took it and she too made Asad wear the ring. Her touch was again creating havoc in his mind. Her soft but smooth skin and her tender hands made him restless. He wanted to badly kiss her hands but resisted. They both were in an eyelock, lost in each other beatiful orbs. Zeenat cleared her throat and said now that ring exchange is over, they will have a small couple dance.
And tum hi ho started playing in the back ground, everybody came up to the dance floor and started dancing softly. Asad and Zoya were too dancing. Asad had kept his one hand on her lower back and the other on her hand and were swaying to the rhythem slowly. Zoya had kept her hands on Asads chest and the other was in his hand. He held Zoyas hand so tightly. His free hand was travelling on her back up and down due to changing postions. Zoya was feeling sensous at that moment, she closed her eyes to control the emotions and Asad too closed his eyes mirroring her emotions. And the dance came to an end. They both came out of the lala land when everybody started teasing them.
Zeenat was searching for Anwar and saw Anwar at the food counter. He was asking the serving people that whether the dish contained baigan or lauki. Zeenat came in and barked. "Yeh buffet hai yahan apka lauki aur baigan nahi milta hai, yahan log paneer or non veg dishes khane ke liye ate hain aur aap hain ki. Maaf kijiye bhaiyaa, inka kuch nahi hoskatha. Chaliye app"
