Chapter 5
He took a breathe and waited for something to strike his mind. His eyes roamed every where for inspiration for his story, the faint stress could be easily seen forming in his eyes. The desperation to get out of this situation were remarkable on his face and then like a magic his eyes laid of basket and a bun.
"So well it happened like this" he started and zoya quickly nidded her head in yes and with a keen look she waited for him to begun.
"Its few months back, when i had first seen you. You were in red hoodie and white knee length frock, you had this basket full of edible items store beneath it. Like an innocent creature, unbeknownst to the danger, you were walking on road , trying to reach at yours granny place on time. Actually your Granny was a nice lady, she was not feeling well that day and so she requested your father and brother to let you meet her before she dies."he paused looking at her for a minute, to confirm that she is on same page with him.
"Then what happened asad?" She asked getting a smile from asad. He got close to her and then remembering the pain he had earlier he quickly took two steps back away from her " then when you reached there you found that your granny looked little ugly and she had hair all over her body" zoya's face twitched on word hairy granny.
"When you entered the house you understood that the one on Granny's clothea and her bed is not granny but a wo- theif." He quickly changed his word as he was almost about to say wolf.
"Then you got scared and started to scream and i being a mere trespasser there heard your screams and came for rescue and from that day onwards we started to meet regularly amd eventually landed getting married." He finished with his story with a proud smile, he felt so happy to finally get a good story from some tales.
"Asad is it really our story?" Asad looked at zoya whose eyebrow were scrunched together as if she is trying to remember this story somewhere in her past.
"Ms farooqui!" Asad quickly called her name before he gets caught for his lie.
Zoya looked at him in wonders and confusion "asad, we are married right?" She asked again beating asad before he could speak.
"Ye-yeah" he stammered scared to get one more bouncer from her.
"Then why do you call mr ms farooqui and why not zoya or mrs khan?" She asked him with curiosity in her eyes ,patiently waiting for his response.
"Wo...actually" he again started to dance indian form with his eyes,in order to think a better excuse for this one.
"Wo actually zoya, before marriage we use to adress eachother with pet names, you ms farooqui , and i mr Khan" he closed his eyes knowing what a stupid excuse he has given and he was prepared for another round of questions for him but to his luck she didn't ask. He opened his eyes slowly to look her facial reaction, his heart clenched and then unclenched in fear , which could not be justified with any reason or scientific term for occurring there.
"Oh,ok." She said softly and then getting up from her bed , revealing her exotic legs she stood in front of him.
"But now we are married na, i don't like it when you call me ms farooqui, call me zoya or mrs khan asad even any other name you wished, you can call me that too." She said looking at her hands.
Asad turned his head towards her and a beautiful smile crept on his lips On its own , admiring her innocence under his lashes,his heart played a drum with each beat loud enough to hear zoya.
"Asad?" She called him to get his attention.
The soft voice of her, broke the palace he made in air with zoya; "yes" he replied refraining himself to make eye contact with her.
"Asad" she called out again when her face twitched and mouth opened wide for a yawn, her cuteness doubled with her sloppy eyes and an attempt to kick her sleep away which was obviously difficult to do at this time of night. Asad chuckled watching her everymove with love and affection , his eyes showered intense feel which his mind refused to name it: " i think you should sleep now!" He said sternly again trying to get a hold on his running horse like desires.
Zoya noded in yes but did not obliged to his suggestion, asad looked at her with a smile and went close to her helping her to lay on her back; " now be a good wife, and sleep.ok!" He asked and she nodded in approval with a smile on her face.
Asad smiled again on her cute expression as she was trying to catch up on sleep with both hands on the edge of the blanket pulling up like she is scared.
"Good night mr khan" zoya called him peeping out of the blanket a little from the edge.
Asad waited on the door ,holding thw knob as he too turned and whispered in tiresome voice; "good night" he laughed remembering something then quickly ended with lights turn off "sweet dreams wifey!" And he left the room.
In the morning, the ring from his phone echoed in room and asad constantly tried to kill its voice instead of receiving the call.letting the ring buzz a couple of minute finally hw convinced himself to atleast check the name on its screen before mentally cursing the peraon for ruining the morning for him.
He tried reading the name with narrow eyes and then with a sigh he picked up the call; " missing me already stell"
"Of course honey, now would you please come and open the door for us, since half an hour we are waiting there for no reason." Her voice picked up rage and glarea which he could sense even when she was on phone.
"What?" He said looking at the table watch; " but its just 7am stell, cant you come late, go home" he said fingering on the cancel button when he heard almost door cracking sound from the living area.
"Hey hey you fat lady, dont you dare to break my door, my allowance are finished , i will take money for the repair from you only. So stop the stupid act" he scolded her but his scoldimg made stell giggle and she with her hands down warned him cold "ok then be quick on feet ,open the door, will you?" She looked at the door again , enjoying the feel of him in panick , which is quite rare to see.
Asad quickly changed his clothes and patting his head with water he puahed his hair back sexily and gargling some water in his mouth, he was ready to admire himself "hot and sexy James" he complemented himself with a gun shot from hisbhand and thumb to himself on mirror.
"What took you so long james?"stella snout at asad as she pushed him of his way literally to get inside home.
"Hey watch it!" Asad warned and she shrugged keeping two bags on table near her.
"You bought me gift!" Asad exclaimed in a fan girling tone; " oh i love you stella boy" he teased her along with thanking.
Stella gave her a look which says "call me again and you will be so dead asad!" But her little eye glare was enough for her to seal his lips.
She twitched her lips and pursed them in thin line looking at asad from corner of her eye "where is zoya? I got some of my clothes and few new shirts for her that she had asked me to bring" she simply said pointing at bags in front of her.
"What? She asked you to get this things for her" asad digged his hand inside the bagband got some laddies inners out with finger scissor grip.
Stella immediately pulled the piece out and hit his hand making him shreik a little, " stop being ao cocky asshole some times james" she nodded her head in disappointment ; " what? She is my wifey you know . i have a right to touch her-"
"Shut up james, now tell me where is she?" Stella asked him shrugging her shoulder.
"Its 7 stell, she must be sleeping in her bed, as it is she was up till late last night" he walked back to the kitchen pouring some water from purifier in a vessel.
"What? Why was she up James, anything happened last night!" She asked with her suspicious eye aiming his cock with anger.
"Yes, dearie she was a PAIN to my things and yet i controlled my little emotions, you should thank me for my bravery and efforts, you cant imagine how difficult it is to be so close to river and yet you cant drink anything from it" asad pouted making stell roll her eyes in sarcasm.the little lips he pouted turned in to wide frown and then into confuse look "but the question is, why was she behaving so strange yesterday." Stell looked at her with crease forehead with lines ;"what behavior you are talking about?" She asked with concerned.
"She was screaming yesterday and when i reached there to check up on her she was in poaition like she was getting stroked forcedly" he looked at floor with sadness.
"Was the examination correct done by dr nazma? I mean how is she behaving like a rape victim. I doubt-"
"No james i trust dr nazma with her efficiency at work. We should not doubt her there. May be we are missing something in our search." She looked curiously at him waiting for his answer.
"Then what i am missing god damn!" He hit his wrist on the table near him, the loud thud of the banging made stella baffled and scared for a second.
"Asad!" She yelled in shock taking his hands in her checking any injury or damage he caused himself.
"We will crack this soon james" she tried to help him cope with the frustration he felt on his failure.
"james take this " she gave a glass of water to asad.
" where is zoya by the way james" she looked at asad in confusion letting her eyea roam all around the room.
"She must be in her room, let me get her" he said getting up from hia seat.
"Wait me too coming" she followed him behind.
both went to zoya's rook to check her , well being.
"Zoya! Zo-" asad was shut by stella by keeping a hand over his mouth.
"Shhh asad, look there?" Stella points at the floor where zoya is praying to allah in ibadat.
He stayed out for a few minutes till his eyes almost turned moist as her prayers rang in his ear " ya allah, i know that you must have been given me the beat life till date, i just want to thank you for everything. Although i have lost my memory but the man you choosed for me is taking really good care of mine, allah please give my husband more strenght as i know the path to return my memory wont be easy for him as well. Make his health fine and bless him with all happiness he deserves to get. Shukriya allah" she spreaded her hands on her face and that was when asad eyes turned wet with the little torment that had occured in him.
