Part 28:
Asad's House: Guest Room:
Asad, Najma, Ayaan, Humeira, Zoya, Aarif and Aashi are standing
around his bed with Dilshad and Rashid.
Arjun - shukriya aunty. Par meri wajah se aapko taqleef utani pad rahi
hai.
Dilshad - Koi Taqleef nahi hai beta. Aap yaha aaram se rahiye.
Arjun smiled.
Rashid - kisi cheese ki zaroorat hai toh befikar poochiyega.
Arjun - Ji uncle.
Rashid - Abb hum chalte hai beta.
Dilshad - Mein khane ke liye, kuch bejti hoon. Najma, meri saath chalo.
Najma - Ji Ammi.
Rashid and Dilshad left from there. Najma followed them.
Zoya - Guys, mein bhi chalti hoon. Baad mein milungi.
Aarif - Tu kaha jaa rahi hai?
Humeira - Baji ko Akram ji se milne jaana hai.
Humeira stressed his name gaining Asad's attention.
Aashi - Salwar pehnegi ya Jeans. Better Saadi pehenle.
Humeira - Shaadi karne thodi jaarahi hai. Saree nahi, Salwar is better idea.
Ayaan - oh. Tu kaise jaa rahi?
Aarif - waise waha jake baat kya karegi?
Arjun was smiling at there questions. He understood what they were trying to do. This discussion is luring Asad's anger and Zoya's embarrassment. Asad turned to leave and was stopped by Najma who entered with a tray.
Najma - aap kaha jaa rahe hai Bhaijaan?
Asad - mujhe kuch kaam hai.
Najma - snacks toh kha ke jayiye.
Asad - Nahi.
Asad left from there. His abrupt exit left Zoya with blank expression. She didn't understand what to understand. Should she ask him the reason for the anger? Or reason for his abrupt exit from discussion? Or the reality which he is hiding?
Zoya (To herself) - Nahi. Jab tak woh sach nahi batayega, confess nahi karega, Tab tak mein bhi kuch nahi kahungi. Kuch nahi poochungi.
Humeira - Kya soch rahe ho Baji?
Zoya - Kuch nahi. Mein bhi chalti hoon. Mujhe taiyaar hona hai.

Zoya - Teekh toh lag rahi hoon.
Zoya wore Jean and simple Kurta complimenting with a scarf.
Zeenat - yeh pehenke jayegi!!
Zeenat exclaimed. Zoya rolled her eyes. Zeenat examined Zoya's wardrobe and pulled a shiny black saree with a thin border. And matching blouse.
Zoya - Saree!!!! No way Aapi. Mein nahi pehnugi.
Zeenat - Mein jo bhi bolti hoon, tu na kardeti hai.
She made a crumpled face. Zoya walked to her and took the saree.
Zoya - Aisa Kuch nahi hai Aapi. Teekhe, mein pehnungi. Sirf aap ke liye.
Zeenat smiled and presses her cheeks with her two fingers.
Zeenat - Abb jaldi taiyaar hoja.
She left from there. Zoya looked at her saree. She has no other option other than to wear that.

Asad's House: Asad's Room:
Asad - Abb yeh sach mein milne jayegi. Pata hai milne hi jaa rahi hai, par milne jane ki kya zaroorat hai. Zoya bhi na. Pagalpan ko bhi Pagal bana sakti hai. Bhoot ko bhi uski gusse se dara sakti hai. Aur mere chalte dimaag ko rokh deti hai.
His blabber was interrupted by ringing phone.
Asad (Irritatedly) - Helloo!!!
Virat - Gud evening Sir, I am Virat. Ashraf ka information mila hai. Abb kya karein?
Asad - toh uss information ka achar dalo.
Asad said with blank mind.
Virat (Confused) - sorry sir.
Asad - ah. I mean. Keep the report ready. I will be there.
Asad disconnected the call. He took a deep breath and exhaled.
Asad - Asad calm down. Tu itna tension kyun le raha hai? Woh Zoya hai. Except u no one can handle her. Akram kud baagh jayega. Shall I go with her. No need. Calm down Asad. Calm down.
Asad started doing breathing exercise to calm him-self down.
Dilshad - Asad.
He heard Dilshad calling him from living room.
Asad - Ha Ammi.
Dilshad - beta ek baar neeche aa. Zeenat ko head ache ho raha hai. Yeh tablets dekhe aaja.

Anwar - Kis ka intezaar ho raha hai?
Zeenat - Zoya Akram se milne ja rahi hai. Mein ne socha Asad ko bhi saath bejungi.
Anwar - Asad kyun jayega?
Zeenat - kyun ki Zoya ja rahi hai. Woh dil se jana chahta hai. Mauka chahiye. Hum denge woh mauka.
Anwar - Lo agaya.
Asad - Aapi. Yeh lijiye tablets. Apne manga tha.
Zeenat - Thank you Asad.
Asad turned to leave when Zoya descended her first step.
Zeenat - Zoya, tu taiyaar hogayi!!!
Asad stopped at his exit. He wanted to see her. He tried to restrain himself from doing that. But he couldn't stop himself from doing. He was stunned to see the beauty in black. He couldn't stop himself from admiring her. Asad remembered her wearing saree for the first time.

Asad's House:
Zoya rang bell hard. She was restless. She is ready to blast like a volcano. Asad sneaked, seeing Zoya he jumped out.
Asad - Zoya, tum yaha kya kar rahi ho?
Zoya ( Angrily) - kyun?? Disturb kar rahi hoon.
Asad - Disturb??!!

Asad - Baal pakad ke ulta latkao.
Asad whispered smiled under his jaw.
Elderly Lady - Nikha se pehle dulhan yaha kya kar rahi hai?!

Zoya - I am sorry Asad. Woh mujhe Simran aur Humeira ne kaha ki tum mere bina dusre ladkiyon ke saath maze kar rahe ho toh.
She made a most adorable puppy face. Asad smiled at her.
Asad - Jealousy ha. Tum tension matt lo. Tumhe sambhalne mein meri saari waqt nikal jayega. Kisi aur ko kaise dekhungi.
Zoya - Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan!!
Asad - Future Mrs. Asad Ahmed Khan!!
Zoya broke hug.
Zoya - Thank god Phupi ne bacha liya. Nahi toh hum aaj toh gaye.
Asad - Ammi hai meri!!
He pulled his imaginary collars. They heard knock on door.
Najma - Ammi ne kapde beja hai.
Zoya - Teekhe Asad, abb tum bahar chalo.
Asad - Kyun?
Zoya - Mujhe change karna hai.
Asad - Toh?!!!
Najma giggled.

Zoya - Najma kaha chali Gayi. Najma...!!!

Asad - Kya hua Zoya???
Zoya - Asad Najma ko bulao.
Asad looked around.
Asad - Najma busy hai Zoya.
Zoya - Toh phupi ko bulao.
Asad - Kyun?!
He enquired barging in getting aw-struck at standing beauty.
Zoya - Pin lagana hai. Tum bahar jao. Aur kisi ko andar bejo.
Showing deaf year to her words, Asad moved forward in trance to capture her shy filled eyes in his heart. Zoya took a step back and hit the wall looking at him. He slowly plucked pin from her lips and held her from shoulders turning her back. He pinned pallu as she startled with his touch. She slowly turned to him. He cupped her palms in his as there foreheads supported each other.
Asad - Chaand lag rahi ho.
Zoya - sirf aapka.
There moment was disturbed by giggles of Najma and other cousins. Zoya stood looking down as Asad try to cope up with this embarrassing situation.
Asad - woh mein...
Najma - Rehne dijiye bhai jaan bahana bana ne ka koi fayda nahi.

Najma - Jayiye Ammi bula rahi hai.
