PART 46
Asad Room
Asad was trying to get Zoya's attention but she was still indifferent. He was waiting in the bed and saw Zoya coming out of washroom after having a shower. Her hairs were wet and water droplets were dripping from her locks. Zoya was holding her hair and drying it with a towel sitting in front of the dressing mirror, she saw Asad looking at her through the mirror. Her eyes twinkled with mischief, she immediately got up and slowly walked towards Asad's direction. Asad saw her coming and he got some hope that he will able to at least initative some talk between them, the silent treatment given by zoya was killing him, he was now used to zoya's bantering and their pre sleep talk where they share their innermost feelings to each other. Zoya came too close now, she was deeply looking into Asad's eyes without leaving the eye contact and Asad too was lost in her beautiful eyes , now she was almost sitting on Asad's lap and Asad was felling very happy too. He took his arms to snake her and hold her close to him that at the blink of the eye Zoya took her wet hairs and splashed the water droplets on Asad's face and moved away quickly before he got her close and giggled seeing Asad's expression. Asad face was flushed out, he wanted to scold Zoya for sprinkling water drops in his face and his dry kurti but then suddenly remembered of what he promised to her. Asad thought she did nothing serious but just played a prank on him, he should control his anger now and she did nothing serious to yell at her. He quietly went to the cupboard and took another kurti and changed into it.
By the time Zoya was on Asad's side of bed. Asad pressed his temples, he came to Zoya and said "zoya this is my side, you know I always sleep on the right side, otherwise I don't get good sleep" Zoya too said in a cool tone "kuch nahi hoga agar aap ek din bistar ke dusri taraf soyenge to, kyun mujpe gussa araha hai" She battled her eyelashes at Asad. Asad without saying anything went to the other side and slipped inside the duvet as he was in no mood to argue or fight with Zoya. Soon he saw Zoya arranging pillows between them. Asad was now completely pissed. He asked "ab yeh kya hai Zoya" Zoya beamed "chastity pillows" Asad "what" Zoya "yes vahi jo apne suna" Asad "main pooch raha hoon ki yeh hamare beech kyun" Zoya "simple taki aap uss taraf aur main iss taraf aram se so sake" Asad "vo tho pillows ke bina bhi kar sakte hai" Zoya "haan lekin, pichle kuch ghante main muje aisa ehsaas horaha hai ki apke irade nek nahi hai, tho yeh chastity pillows, you know to save me from you" Asad was liked having "what the hell is this ?" expression on his face he softly said "isski koi zaroorat nahi hai, main isse hata deta hoon, main koi rakhshas thodi hoon jo apko mujse khatra mehsoos ho raha hai" Zoya "khabardar isse hataya tho, aap bhool rahe hai ki agle 24 hrs aaap vohi karenge jo main kahungi, yah phir aap haar man lijiye" Asad silently obeyed to Zoya's antics. He murmered while turning to the outer side "pata nahi yeh ladki agle 24 hrs muje pagal karke chodegi, kiss ghadi main maine unki baat manli, muje pata hona chahiye tha inki dimag main aise bheterin ideas ayenge" Zoya "apne kuch kaha Asad" Asad " jee maine kaha goodnight" Zoya smiled "Goodnight akdu and sweet dreams too" Asad shook his head hearing that and thought "really sweet dreams, kya lagta hai apko, mere dreams sweet honge"
In the morning
Asad woke up first to see that all the chastity pillows are scattered over here and there and Zoya was cuddled up against him and their legs were interwined and Zoya's cheeks were against his chest and her hands on his abs. He smiled and shook his head "confused ladki, pehle thakiyaan beech main rakti hai aur phir mujse lipatkar soti hai, maine kaha tha iski zaroorat nahi padegi, lekin meri mane tab na, yeh jane aur inke fisool ke ideas, ab aaj ka mera din kaise jayega, aajto Sunday hai or poora din yeh mujse kya kya karvane vali hai, yeh tho Allah hi janta hai, lekin ab ke liye yehi teek hai, pata nahi poora din muje ignore kiya tho" saying that he too snuggled close to her and slipped inside the duvet again not to loose this precious moment with his zoya.
Zoya woke up after sometime and realised that she had moved to Asad's side and was sleeping on him too embracing him. She blushed and smiled. She quickly disentangled from Asad and slipped away to washroom. Asad had dozed off again in zoya's warmth. Zoya quickly took a shower and came out to see Asad still sleeping. She went out quickly made his black coffee, returned to find that Asad was still sleeping like a log. She tried to wake him up by calling but he stirred in his sleep asking not to wake him up that he didnt get good sleep last night because of change of side. Zoya giggled at his sleepy comments. She took his finger and dipped in the hot coffee which made him to jolt up from his sleep "ouch". He saw Zoya in a red color suit before him, he wanted to yell on her, but controlled his emotions and softly asked "Zoya yeh kya tha" Zoya cooly replied "vo kya haina, sleepy heads ko aise hi jagate hai, jo aise ghode bhejke sote hai" Asad "maine kaha tha na ki muje bed ke iss side main neend nahi ayegi, saari raat jagkar I got to sleep early morning nly, aur aapne meri neend kharab kardi" Zoya pouted for Asad "awww, my baby ko neend nahi ayi, mere shona ko neend nahi ayi, lori suna doon" Asad was now irritated at Zoya's baby talks. He got up from the bed and started to go he was stopped by Zoya. Asad "ab kya hai?" Zoya "kaha jaa rahe aap, bed coffee nahi peeyenge, maine pyar se banakar layi hoon apkeliye" she blinked 3-4 times showing a puppy face. Asad was now completely irritated and he said in a bit loud voice "zoya aap janti hai ki, muje bed par kuch bhi khana peena pasand nahi hai" Zoya in an authorative manner "main jaanti hoon, issliye tho keh rahi hoon, aap karna nahi chahte hai tho, apki marzi, haar man lijiye" Asad pressed his temples and asked "at least can I brush and come" Zoya said "no" then turned to the other side. Asad defeated without thinking anything drank the coffee making wierd face expressions and asked "Khush" Zoya "very much, nice improvement, aap gussa karna tho chahte the lekin kiya nahi, haina" she asked Asad in a slow tone. Asad "muje kaam hai, washroom main, ab main jaa sakta hoon" in a unpleasant tone. Zoya "kya main bhi ajaun, apke saath, washroom main" stressed the washroom part. Asad eyes widened hearing her request and rolled his eyes "jee isko koi zaroorat nahi hai, vahan jo karna vo muje karna hai apko nahi" He quickly rushed before zoya could say anything embarrassing. Zoya giggled.
After sometime
Asad came out of the washroom in a towel and saw Zoya in front of him holding a trunk with both hands. Zoya "aaj aap yeh pehenge,tantandayan" Asad stunned "zoya yeh?" Zoya "yes, and we going to Architects club now" Asad again surprised "lekin club kyun?" Zoya "are acha khasa Architect Club ka membership le rakha hai, lekin aajtak apne ek visit bhi nahi kiya hai, tho maine socha aaj aap vahan swimming karenge, you know swimming is a good exercise" Asad eyes widened "zoya please,main yeh pehankar, sabke samne, nahi I cant" Zoya "tho kya swimming poore kapde pehenkar karte hai" Asad got a bit angry now and raised his voice saying "no" Zoya "theek hai aapko meri baat nahi manna hai tho mat maaniye, phir maafi ki bhi umeed mat rakhiye ga" Asad almost deafeated "teek hai, yeh main vahan jake change karlunga" Zoya "good boy" and she ruffled his hair. He quickly adjusted it back to keep it in place. She seeing Asad's that gesture she ruflled it again. Asad rolled his eyes and Zoya giggled. "kyun Mr. Khan ko gussa araha hai?" She asked in succumbed tone. Asad knew that she was purposely doing all this to aggrevate his anger and so he controlled it and said " nahi main gussa kyun karunga, after swimming is a good exercise you know" Zoya said "hmm hmm".
Architects Club
Zoya made Asad change into the swimming trunks and now she was ogling shamelessly at him. His well toned body and muscles and his perfect 6 packs never fail to give hard time to Zoya. Asad asked "kya apka yeh drooling session khatm hogaya tho main jaun" Zoya snapped out and blushed "jee, jayiye, jayiye, pool Jahapanah ka intezaar kar raha hai" she showed her hands at the pools direction. Asad rolled his eyes at her antics and he went and dived in the pool. Zoya showed a thumbs up to him but he didnt respond to it. Zoya's face fell. But still she went and sat beside the pool in one the reclining chairs watching Asad swimming. Asad was stealing glances at Zoya in between but Zoya had worn a goggles and she was resting her head against the back and looking up. Asad was feeling really good, he never tried swimming instead he had his personal gym in his house. But this was really different. Zoya got up when the waitor offered her fruit juice. She took it was sipping it watching Asad moving inside the water like a fish. Just then she saw some girls coming and they changed and dived into the pool. And all the girls were drooling over her hubby dear and commenting on his body and features. She was fuming now, and was hot like a frying pan, pangs of jealousy grew in her and she shouted "Asad enough we should go now" Asad was not at all hearing. Asad was unaware that some girls have come into the pool, he was busy swimming. Zoya came near to the pool now and shouted "Asad, enough for today, ayiye na chalte hai, please" Asad was saw her shouting and he signalled with his hands that he wants more time. Zoya walked along with Asad parallelly and now Asad was in doing a butterfly stroke in the deep zone. Zoya shouted "Asad bas kijiye na ayiye, aaj ke liye kaafi hai" seeing that Asad was not hearing and he had gone to the other end of the deep zone, she forgot where she was standing, she moved a little bit ahead so that her voice could reach him and in the meantime she slipped and fell into the pool. She started shouting "Asssad".Asad turned to see that zoya had fell into the water and she is struggling. He quickly swam to her side. The lifeguard at the swimming pool was also not seen at that time. He managed to reach a struggling zoya to find that she had almost enough water and now was unconscious too. Asad laid her beside the pool and pressed her belly. Water spurted out of her mouth. Asad rubbed her hands and feet and patted her cheeks, seeing no response, he leaned in closer and cupped her face and gave a mouth to mouth respiration. Zoya coughed regaining her breath and saw Asad was close to her. She hugged him tightly forgetting that she was in a public place. Asad patter her hairs and pacified her, he softly whispered "zoya apko swimming nahi ati hai" Zoya "main kabhi seekha hi nahi" Asad "are you ok" Zoya "hmm better now" Asad made her get up and took her to the restroom. Just then the lifeguard came and asked about the incident. Asad yelled on top of his voice pointing out how irresponsible he was, how could he go away somewhere that when the pool timings are on. Zoya asked Asad to calm down and told him to once listen to what lifeguard has to say. Life guard apologised, he said, that he had to go to take injection as he is a diabetes patient and it was time for his medicine. He had gone to the medical room and was taking insulin shot that this incident happened. Zoya apologised for Asad's temper and they both returned home. The drive back was quiet. Netiher Asad nor Zoya spoke.
Back home
Zoya was trying from to manage Asad's anger but again today he yelled at the life guard without knowing the reason for his absence or without giving him a chance to speak. Zoya "gussa pehle karte hai baat baad main sunte hai, main kya karoo inka, kaise inki gusse ko kaboo main karoon, Allah kuch tho raasta dikha" suddenly an idea cropped up in her brain. She quickly went out and announced to everybody who were in the living room "suno suno suno, aaj Jahapanah hum sabke liye shahi andaz main khana banayenge..." Everyone jaw dropped hearing that including Asad who was now coming from outside. Asad pinched the bridge of the nose and adjusted the inside of this collar by putting his index finger to ease out the tension coming up.
Soon Asad was seen at the kitchen counter and rest were in their respective rooms except for Dilshad and Zoya who were in the living room watching Asad trying to cook. Dilshad asked "Zoya kya aisa karna teek hoga" Zoya "khana kitna bhi acha bane lekin apko koi na koi galati nikalna hi hai" D "lekin zoya behcara Asad" Zoya "phoppi vo bechara nahi hai" D "hmmm". Zoya thought to take a tour of what Asad was doing in there. She came around and saw that Asad was crying and wiping his tears. "Allah miyaan whats wrong with you Asad, aap ladkhiyon ki tarah ro kyun rahe hai, apto machoman hai" Asad was irritated at Zoya comment firstly he was not able to manage the kitchen and he doesn't know abcd of cooking, and upar se Zoya's bakwas. He in a irritated tone "ro nahi raha hoon, dikhayi nahi deta ki pyaz kat raha hoon, aur yeh kaat he kaise hai" Zoya looked down on the cutting tray to find a irregularly peeled and cut onion. Zoya giggled. "Mr Khan apto perfectly har kaam karte hai, tho phir yeh kyun nahi" Zoya with hands on hips now. Asad "main haar kaam main perfect nahi hoon, main uss kaam main perfect hoon jo muje ata hai" Zoya "exactly, haar koi haar kaam main perfect nahi hota hai, issliye don't expect hamesha perfect things from others too, kabhi kabhi unse bhi galati ho sakti hai, aur bevajah unhe dante hai" Asad saw that Zoya was trying to make him understand a valid point. So he kept quiet. Zoya saw Asad fumbling with the onion. Seeing that she showed him how to cut the veggies and then moved away. Asad "pata nahi ammi aur najma kaise yeh sab karte the, main tho hamesha table par ake bait jata tha, khana kha neke liye, aur time pe khana serve nahi hota tha tho maine..." he thought how he used to scold Najma for not timely getting him coffee or serving lunch or dinner.
Zoya after a while got him her I pad. "yeh lijiye Mr.Khan, apke reference ke liye" Asad "yeh kiss liye?" Zoya rolling her eyes "offo Asad aap bhi na, agar apko koi bhi doubt aye ki koi receipe kaise banana hai, then you can ask Mr. Google" Asad "Mr. Google?" Zoya "google.com pe jayiye aur search kijiye" she kept her hands on her forehead "lagta apko computers bhi sikhana padega" Asad "very funny, but sorry I already know how to use computers" Zoya "whatever" Zoya sniff sniff "kuch jalne ka boo araha hai Mr.Khan" .Asad had kept veggies for boiling them and they were getting charred. "Mr Khan aap aise hi baton main uljenge tho aaj aap kuch bana nahi payenge" she put off the gas and immediately added some water to it. "Yeh sab aap ki vajah se hua hai, nahi aap yahan ati mujse baat karne ke liye, aur nahi sare sabji jalte" Zoya "Allah miyaan, main yahan apki maddat karne ayi thi, aur aap muje hi suna rahe hai, okay I m going, khud hi manage kijiye, ab yeh sab" Zoya went and sat in the living room and started watching cricket. "Dhoniii" Zoya shouted. Asad shook his head from behind.
Asad somehow managed to make a mixed vegetable dish with the help of Zoyas's i pad. And he had made plain rice too. Now he was wondering how to make roti's. Dilshad came this time and saw Asad in thoughts. She shook Asad and asked "kya hua, kuch chahiye?" Asad "vo ammi roti kaise banao, muje nahi ata hai" Dilshad smiled "main batati hoon" Asad saw that Zoya was engrossed in watching cricket especially Dhoni was batting so he knew that she wont even move an inch from her place. Dilshad explained by taking out flour, adding little oil, then salt and then little bit water to first mix it, then adding little more water to knead it, then little more to make them into a ball, then knead it thouroughly with her fists. Asad watched carefully how the dough was finally made. Dilshad rolled out rotis and fried it on tawa and she said rotis are ready and asked him to make other rotis too. Asad asked "ek aur dish batayiye na simple wala rice ke saath serve karne ke liye" Dilshad laughed and said "dal banao, this is the simplest dish, and you can make salad too then" Asad "aur sweet dish" Dilshad "hum bahar se ice cream order kar lenge" Asad smiled a little and hugged Dilshad. "chalo chalo jaldi karo, varna Zoya..." Asad cut her off and mumbled thanks.
Lunch time
Zoya now came around now to watch if Asad had done everything. Asad "thodi maddat kijiye na, table set karne ke liye" Zoya "teek hai, since you are requesting I can oblige you know" she told by waving her hands here and there. Soon Zoya called everybody to lunch. Nuzzat was the first one to ake rotis and boom she held the roti in her two fingers to see a big hole in it. She turned towards Asad "Bhaijaan, yeh roti apne banaya hai" Najma took another roti to serve herself she found it an irregular shape, she exclaimed "yeh tho muje amoeba ki tarah dikta hai, koi shape hi nahi hai, bhaijaan yeh kaise banaya apne" Nikhat was silently amused and was suppressing her laughter by pressing her lips together.Asad pressed his temples "roti ka shape nahi taste dekhte hai" Zoya "oh really Mr. Khan" Asad "aur nahi tho kya, yeh konsi dictionary maine likha hai ki, roti gol hona chahiye" Dilshad also giggled and said "lekin Asad tumhe tho perfect rotis pasand thi na, hum jab banate the, tho thoda jal jata yah phir thoda sa gol nahi hota, tho tum kitna hume sunate the, ab kya hua? Vaise mere samjane ke bavajoot bhi tumne roti banana nahi seekha" Asad " I m sorry Ammi, maine kabhi socha nahi tha ki kitchen ki kaam bhi itne...mushkil hote hai, I never realised that aap aur Najma kitni mehnat karti thi, at the end I used to get up without eating anything and telling something arrogant, if it was not according to my tastes and choices. I m sorry Tamatar, apne bhaijaan ko maaf kardo" Najma "koi baat nahi bhaijaan, its okay" Zoya retorted "vaise Mr. Khan dal main namak zyadaa hogaya" she had taken a morsel to her mouth and tasted and made wierd faces "aur yeh sabji sabji tho bohot theeka hai, agar tum beheno ko aasoon bahana hai tho khalena, main nahi kha sakti" she was wiping the tears from the eyes while telling this. "Aur Mr. Khan yeh kya sweet dish nahi hai?" And that went on. Asad was disappointed.
Humera was silent spectator, she never told her opinions nor she participated in the family conversations, she simply didnt feel interested in anything now but stuck to her room only. She came today after a long time and was feeling alone in a noisy atmosphere around. She nibbled something for the sake of eating and didnt express anything in particular about the food. Zoya saw that Humera was withdrawn so she asked "kya humera, Mr.Khan ke hath ka khana khake tum aise chup kyun hogayi ho?" It was then everybody noticed that a fragile body is sitting next to her. She smiled a little to convince everyone that she was okay but the smile did not reach her eyes. She just ate something and went to her room. Zoya noticed that.
Asads room
Asad was disappointed at what happened at the dining table, he was looking outside the window and staring into vacumn he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. Needless to say with the touch he knew it was Zoya. Zoya called him "Assad" he didnt turn back so zoya came in front of him. Still he was looking outside the window. She took his hands and took them in hers and intertwined it and held them firmly. Asad spoke "main bohot bura hoon na zoya, sab par bevajah gussa karta, bina kuch soche samje" Zoya said "aap bure nahi hai Asad, lekin apka yeh gussa zaroor hai" Asad looked at her now and he saw some assurance in Zoya's eyes. Zoya said ", anger is a very hurting emotion, we should not take at the wrong person or at the wrong place or wrong time, aap gussa kijiye lekin sahi vajah ke liye, yeh choti choti baton ke liye, aap gussa karenge, utna hi apke dil aur dimag par stress hota hai, you tend to forget things easily, you may get hypertension, lack of sleep vagera vagera and also you have to see your loving ones in deep pain after hearing your hurtful words. Hum sab aapse bohot pyar karte hai, issliye kabhi apko bad dua nahi denge, sab kuch bhool jate hai, lekin kya ek teesra aadmi aisa karega" Asad understood what zoya was explaining to him so he nodded "main koshish karunga zoya" Zoya said "chaliye khana khaa ljiye" Asad "khana lekin vo to khane layak ho tab na" Zoya smiled "kisne kaha khane layak nahi hai, agar aisa hota tho ... she dragged him and opened the door and showed him the scene. His ammi, tamatar, nuzzat and nikhat everybody was enjoying the food. Asad looked at Zoya with questioning eyes. Zoya "what, chaliye, hum bhi khate hain" Asad was going to go outside Zoya tugged him in "udhar nahi idhar" he saw two plates of food on the couch table. Zoya made him sit and motioned him to eat. Asad said "haath se" Zoya "hmm Jahapanah aaj haath se khayenge" Asad "no please its unhygienic" Zoya "what, you unbelievable, iss duniya main itni sare log haath se khana khate hai, tho vo sabko kabka bimar hona chahiye tha, come on Mr. Khan, mere itne sari batein tho aap man li, yeh bhi sahi" she made Asad to eat with his hands. He was cringing and flinching while doing it. Zoya was irritated at Asads expressions "aisa kya khaa rahe ki jaise apke haath main gobar ho, stop making that faces Asad aur khana dang se khayiye na".
Zoya playfully asked "agar coffee lane main 2 -3 min late hua tho, kya karenge?" Asad "I will wait patiently" "agar breakfast serve karne main thoda time zyadaa lag gaya tho aap gussa karenge? "Asad "nahi karunga" "agar roti gol na ho tho?" "tho chup chap khalunga bina koi shikayat ke" "agar sabji main namak kam hoto" "tho namak dalunga" "aur agar parate jal gaye tho?" "main gussa nahi karunga Zoya, ab please stop these questions" Zoya "agreed good boy" She pulled his cheeks with her left hand. Asad wiped the area after Zoya's pulling. Now Zoya told how to enjoy food eaten by hands, she put her fingers in mouth and sucked them and clicked the tongue. Asad turned his face away. "kya Mr. Khan kijiye naa, yehi tho haath se khane ka mazaa hota hai, ungliyaan bhi chat jana, yehi tho tasty khane ki pehchan hai" Asad "tho mera khana tasty tha, tho bahar aap itne saare complaints kyun kar rahi thi?" Zoya "kyun bura laga apko, jab maine vo sab kaha tho?, aise hi kitni logon ko bura lagta hoga, jab aap unpar bevajah chillate hai, jab ki baat shanty se bhi bataya jaa sakta hai aur khana of course tasty hona chahiye, lekin agar kissine bohot pyar se banaya ho tho, uss insaan ka pyar dekha jata hai, naki usme galatiyaan nikal chahiye, samje aap" Asad inched closed to Zoya now and wiped off something from her lips and let his fingers linger there for more time. Zoya suddenly squealed "ice cream" "aap hum sabko ice cream khilane bahar lekar jaa rahe hai and thats final" Asad "zoya ice cream?" Zoya "kyun phoppi ne kaha tha ki sweet dish main ice cream order karenge, since apne order nahi kiya hai tho, hum parlour jayenge" She showed her famous puppy face. Asad had to agree.
Asad was tapping on his steering wheel "kitna der lagti hai, yeh ladkiyaan tayyar hone main, ab ice cream parlour hi to jaa rahe hai, tayyar aise horahi hai jaise ki koi shaadi main jaa rahi ho" Asad now was impatiently waiting in his SUV and then turned to see whether they were coming. The sight before him swept his feet away from the ground. The whole family was dressed up in jeans including his ammi. Dilshad was wearing a long kurti with jeans and Najma was wearing a knee length kurta and rest of the girls all had worn some funky tops. Asad pressed his temples. Zoya came and winked at him and sat in the front and said "chalen" The rest of the family took he back seats. Humera also accompanied after a lot of coaxing from Zoya that she will feel good. Asad silently drove them to a nearby ice cream parlour. After having everybody choices of ice cream, the all returned home.
Asad room
Asad caught hold of Zoya's elbow and stopped her after entering the room "yah kya tha? Apne sabko jeans..." cut off by Zoya "allah miyaan whats wrong with you Asad, yeh sari jeans muje apke wardrobe se mile the" Asad " vo tho maine apke liye lekar aya tha" Zoya "Asad vo mere size ke nahi the, kuch bade the, aur kuch chote te, aapko jab meri kamr ka size pata nahi hai, tho kyun liya?" Asad blurted out "kaise pata hoga, apka size, humne... kabhi ek dusre ko..." he stopped abruptly realising the meaning of what he was going to say .Zoya blushed at his statement and now asad too embarrassed at his own statement. "I mean apne kabhi muje bataya nahi, tho maine aise hi random purchase kiyaa tha" Zoya "its okay kissi ke tho kaam aya"
Zoya said "now time to say sorry Mr.Khan aur vo bhi dil se". Asad again "ab kya hai Zoya, I swear dubara aise galati nahi karunga" Zoya "aap sorry bolne wale hain" Asad "kisse bolna sorry" Zoya "haider se" Asad eyes glued and he remembered how he spoke to Haider last time. He fumbled "vo main actually..." cut off by Zoya. " apne apna exercise sessions band kar diya hai, kyun, kyunki aap Haider ko face nahi kar pa rahe hai, right" Asad "vo Zoya.. I mean.I didnt skip.. but ...didnt go, I was busy..." he tried to reason but again cut off by Zoya "apko pata hai Haider kitna sincere physio hai, apne Haider ko bhala bura kaha iske bavajoot, apke skip karne par he was worried for you, unhone aaj subah muje call kiya aur apko swimming ke liye lekar jane ke liye kaha, , he would have taken you for a swimming session if you hadn't skipped the sessions, he wanted to see the improvement in your back muscles and how your spine responds to it." Asad lowered his head "vo main dubara Haider se kaise milta, maine uss din bohot .." Zoya "issliye tho hum aaj vahan jaa rahe hai, sorry kehne, uss din ek possessive bhai gaya tha Haider se milne aaj ek obedient patient jayega usse milne, aur vo possessive bhai sorry kahega" and with that she dragged Asad outside to the car.
Haider's clinic
Zoya and Asad were seated before Haider now. Haider had taken some scans of Asad's spine and was watching it. "Mr.Khan apko aaj swimming ke baad peet dard yah phir fatigue of your leg muscles aisa kuch hua" Asad was looking down and didnt not hear what Haider had asked. Zoya nudged him to speak he sprang up and asked jee kuch kaha apne Haider?" Haider repeated the question and Asad anwered that he was actually feeling better to do swimming. Haider said "good,maine swimming issliye recommend kiya kyunki weights utane par apke peet par zyadaa strain hoga, swimming is a even exercise, it will tone your body well and then you can do your regular push ups, bench press, weight lifting and all, thats why I started with swimming" Asad nodded. Zoya was signalling him to say sorry but seeing Asad was uncomfortable in her presence she excused herseld indicating him to tell sorry to him. Haider was examining Asad's nervous impulses now. He was sitting almost kneeled down in front of Asad to check his knees. Haider "just hang your legs and let it free" He was directing Asad how to position his legs while he checks. Asad nodded, he hesistated how to talk to Haider. Anyway he started "haider who are there in your family?" Haider smiled at his question "why are you asking this question?" He was checking "your improvement is too good Mr. Khan" Asad again "vo main jaana chahta hoon, Najma ne bataya ki aap yahan par akele rehte hai, tho.." Haider amused "main yahan akela rehta hoon lekin meri ek appi hai jo UK maine rehti hai, she is settled there with a well of businessman and a kid girl too" Asad "oh tho apke parents?" Haider "dad was in IAF, he died in Kargil war, and mom soon followed him" Asad "oh" then after a brief moment " I m sorry" Haider "its okay, I was not offended at all, trust me" Asad "not for now but for that day" Haider "which day?" Asad "the other day, I had come to speak about Najma" Haider laughed "for that, it was not really needed, I am too a brother and I could very well guess from your behaviour that you were too possessive about your baby sister, I didnt mind it at all" Asad was relieved now "thanks Haider, you have removed a big burden from my heart saying this, I did really spoke to you that day rudely" Haider "I said its okay I had seen nothing but a possessive and caring brother in you that day who feared to let go of his baby sister, so I never took it to my heart, they way you behaved was exactly I behaved when my jiju came to marry my appi, so I can very well understand" Haider now completed his examination completely asked him to take his seat. He came after washing his hands. Haider "may I ask you something, is the reason that you avoided the sessions with me?" Asad lowered his eyes indicating a "yes" Haider burst into a laugh. "you are unbelievable Mr.Khan, you skipped your doc's appointment since you couldn't face him again, I guess you should give prime importance to your health not to your ego" Asad smiled a little "thats what my wife too says" Haider "aha, yes where did your pretty wife go?" Asad eyes shirinked at the mention of pretty and Haider noticed that too "don't be jealous Mr. Khan and don't misunderstand me again, I always admire beautiful things in my life, be it flowers, or nature or women, because I m an amteur photographer and I do some freelance photography for some wildlife channel sometimes, so that comes naturally to me" Asad smiled wow thats nice, guess I would like to know more about you, if you could come to our house sometime, you can meet Najma too." Now Zoya entered to see both of them behaving as buddies. Haider "sure I will come sometime when I get free time" He turned to Zoya "Mrs Khan, I must say your husband has shown tremendous improvement in his recovery, now he is perfectly alright, needs some body toning up and well if everything is put in place, he be back again with a bang" Zoya smiled and said "thanks" Haider too smiled. On the way back "apne sorry kaha na" Asad"jee haan, aur maine Haider ko ghar par invite bhi kar liye hai, khush" Zoya "not bad, aap utne buddu nahi hai jitna maine samja tha apko" Asad rolled his eyes at her and her silly comments "apko main buddu lagta hoon" Zoya "thoda sa" she showed a pinch with her fingers and Asad shook his head again. The drive to the home was full of Zoya's banter and Asad was enjoying, soon they reached home to find Rashid and Shirin sitting and talking with Dilshad and Badi bi.
Precap: Asad meets Rashid but this time he doesn't have any hate but only pain that he had no abbu when he wanted one. Rashid says it was all destiny's cruel game and we all became mere puppets in its hands by succumbing to the situations. Neverthless Rashid decides not to interfere in their children and Dilshad's lives and he along with Shirin will live in the old age home and look after the poor and the needy for the rest of their life till Allah calls them back. He just asks for one thing from Asad that he should put one handful of mud on his burial and that is his last wish. Humera starts her life afresh, she slowly gets out of her shell and is now determined to make a life for her own, an identity of her own with Zoya's help.
I have been getting very little comments for this ff its barely 2 pages now, so i m thinking to end this asap and regarding sequel I m in second thoughts to write or not, becoz it takes too much time to give long and meaningful updates and in return I don't get even enough comments to be inspired to write, I hv already lost my inspiration to write with breaking up of KaBhi, but you readers till inspired me to write but now that also is gone. Those who are on studies and cant get time can at least like it if cant comment. So I have decided to do send pms of this rest of the updates of this ff to my loyal readers and rest I don't care and I wont post it in the forum openly.
