Chapter 6: Half Way There
Zoyas outfit
What the hell am I doing here. She had no idea. I should have just not showed up, I should just go back. These thoughts and many others have been crossing Zoya's mind for the past 5 minute as she stands in front of Asad's door room. It was 6:45 pm on a Friday evening where she should have been in Detention like the others but because of the bas***d behind the door she has to be here, going on a date with him. Why the hell did I even meet him in the first place, I should have just swam to India instead of taking the plane at least that way I wouldn't have agreed to going on a date with him but if I said no he would have told Humeira about our father, and if that happens then only God could save me, UGGGHHH, Why must my life be so complicated. She checked her rose gold Michael Kors watch once again to check the time 6: 50 pm, ten minutes. Come to think of it why was she here so early, no matter how hard she tried to tell herself she just couldn't bring herself to think that Asad was taking advantage of her secret she just couldn't. She doesn't know why but he seems different to her, he just doesn't seem like the kinda guy to do such a cheap thing but then again he did blackmail her. She took a deep breath closing her eyes and brought her fist up to knock on the door 3 times.
As soon as she did the door flung open and their stood the most handsome man she had seen. He didn't have a shirt on exposing his perfectly toned abs, she wanted to look away but her eyes were betraying her she just couldn't get enough of that beautiful sight, she knew that the guy was gorgeous but this just added the cherry on the sundae, he could give Adonis a run for his money,
Asad meanwhile had a smirk plastered on his face seeing the effect his body had on her. He had known that she was there for the past 30 minutes but was just waiting for her to knock. He moved closer to her until he was just an inch away from her earlobe.
Asad: Hey
He said huskily blowing in her ear at the end. This caused Zoya to snap out of her dream land and she backed away from them leaving a reasonable distance between them. This guy was stepping out of her comfort zone and she didn't like it one bit, but she also knew that there will be more from where that came from this evening. Regaining her balance and mind she closed her eyes and bought them to see his face but they kept on going down to his body. UHHHGGG
Zoya: Ummm...h-hi😕😕
Asad: Like what you see?😉
He asked mischievously. Zoya shook her head lightly to wake herself from la la land.
Zoya: Wh-what
Asad: Leave it,😆 so you showed up?
He said crossing his arms over his chest and looking her in the eye.
Zoya: Didn't really have a choice🤔
Asad: Didn't you?
Zoya: Huh😕
Asad: Leave it lets go😊
Zoya: Are you going out like that???😲
She said with her eyes widening, realizing what she meant Asad moved closer to her.
Asad: Like what??😉
Zoya who was once again getting lost in his close proximity was trying to find her words.
Zoya: Um... like...like...th...that😕😕
She manage to stutter out. Asad smirked and walked back inside. 5 minutes later he walked out again looking once again as hot as Adonis in his blazer. God this is gonna be a long night.
Meanwhile in the girls dorm room
Aalia had been slumped up in her bed for the past 2 hours she asked Humeira to cover up for her in detention and lucky for her she did. She just doesn't have the strength to go out right now, ugghhh how can he be so insensitive, doesn't he know how much this day means to us, why does he have act like that. She pulled the duvet over her head trying to shut herself out from the world but a knock at the door broke her thoughts. She groaned and cursed the person at the door before rolling out her bed and walking towards the door. As soon as she opened she felt the rage boil up in her once again she tried shutting the door again only for it to be stopped by his hand.
Haider: Listen Ally I'm sorry I forgot the day please forgive me😕
He said trying to open the door while Aalia was leaning against it with her back facing the door pushing it back with all her might.
Aalia: OH so now you remember, sorry to say Mr. Sheikh you are too late.😡😡😡
She nearly closed the door but Haider gave it another push making Aalia stumble forward and allowing Haider full entry. She regained her balance to look at him, he had an apologetic face on which always melted her heart, her eyes soon noticed the wrapped box in his hand.
Haider: I'm sorry Ally please forgive me
He said while handing her the box. Aalia took the box out of his hand and tore it open, no matter how angry she got, she would never pass a gift from him. Haider smiled seeing her antics. Finally she managed to unwrap the present and what she saw completely melted her heart.
She looked up at Haider who was holding his ears with a pout on his face.
Haider: Sowwwyy
He said in a baby voice. Aalia just couldn't ignore the puppy face she took him in a big embrace.
Aalia: Fine your forgiven🤔
She said her head still in his chest. Haider put on a million dollar smile showing his white teeth he moved a bit back confusing Aalia.
Aalia: What happened?😕
She gave him a curious look while he was just grinning away.
Haider: Close your eyes😊
Before Aalia could protest Haider had put his hands over her eyes.
Haider: Are they closed?😛
Aalia: Yes but they wont be for long, if you don't tell me what your doing?😡
Haider held her shoulders lightly and moved the 2 of them in front of the mirror making sure Aalia's eyes were closed the entire time. He dipped his hands into his pockets and took out the blue velvet box. With his thumb fore finger he picked up the silver chain and brought it around her neck to tie it. Once it was tied he held held her shoulders again and looked in the mirror at her face which had a beautiful smile.
Haider: You can open your eyes now😊
He whispered into her ears. Aalia fluttered her eyes open and touched the necklace that said "I love you" on it. She got few tears of joy which were soon wiped away by Haider.
Haider: I am very sorry, I promise I will never do anything this stupid again
Aalia: Wanna make a bet?😉
She challenged him teasingly to which he chuckled.
Haider: My dear Ally I think I've known you long enough to realize to never to make bets with you. So am I forgiven?😃
He asked once again. Aalia turned in his arms and looked in his eyes before planting a soft kiss on his cheek.
Aalia: Does that answer your question😊
With that they lost themselves in a sweet hug.
Meanwhile in detention
Ayaan: OH MY GOD ARE YOU f**kING KIDDING ME😡😡
He shouted realizing that they still had 10 more rows of seats to clean up. Why did he agree to do this anyway, he will make his brother and Haider pay for this, no matter how much money they gave him no amount would be enough to spend a Friday night locked up in Detention with a the most annoying girl on the planet. But lucky for him they hadn't chopped off each others head yet. Humeira who was wiping the seats came up to looked at him with the same expression.
Humeira: I know how you feel, why did I agree to do this anyway??😡😔
Ayaan: Let me guess Aalia and Zoya made you do this😆
He asked moving the bucket full of water with him to the next row.
Humeira: Yep, and I'm gonna make those 2 pay, well Aalia at least I cant exactly do anything with Appi😊😔
Ayaan: Yeah I get where your coming from it sucks being the younger twin doesn't it
By now they both had sat down on the tables opposite each other swinging their legs back and forth.
Humeira: Not always, I mean Appi has always been there for me, but sometimes she goes a bit over board😊
Ayaan: What about your parents?😕
He asked curiously not realizing that he had hit a weak spot. Humeira closed her eyes at the question, she knew that sooner or later that someone would ask her this but was she ready for it, Zoya had always handled this when it came but what should she say, she didn't wanna give away too much information and she certainly did not want to sound weak.
Humeira: My mum died in a bus crash when I was 3 and my dad left me couple months after😔
Ayaan felt like beating the shit out of himself right then and there. He could see the tears that were making their way into her eyes and for some reason his heart did not like the sight. He mumbled a small sorry to which she just nodded and turned her head. God why couldn't you have given me a brain when you were making me. Lucky for him Humeira hated the silence as much as he did.
Humeira: So now that you know a bit about me tell me a bit about yourself?😊
Ayaan: What do you want to know?😊
Humeira: Anything. I mean I don't really know a thing about you, you know beside the fact that you love Sachin, ummm tell me about your family.😊
She said cheerfully to which he just chuckled he rubbed his finger against his chin thinking of where to start.
Ayaan: Well Allah has blessed me with an amazing family to which I am very thankful for, I have an amazing mum and dad and then I have my little sister Tamater😊
Humeira: Tamater? Whats your Abbus name Aloo?😆
She said jokingly to which he laughed.
Ayaan: No Tamater is her nick name her real name is Najma, she goes to College here as well, shes basically the princess of the house and me and my brothers😊
Humeira: Good for you, I guess...So what does it feel like to be the younger twin to you?
Ayaan: I mean its alright mum and dad have always treated us equally but you know siblings they always have to rub it in but I don't mind, but if we're being honest sometimes I feel like I can ever live to my brother like he is good at everything and then...I don't know
Humeira: No, I know what your trying to say, I mean me and my sister have the same brains, but she is so much stronger, aggressive independent, and then you sometimes feel like you just wont be anything without your twin right??
She asked to which he nodded. There was a long silence after that both getting lost in their own thoughts. They both looked up and for the first time observed each others eyes thoroughly. Ayaan saw mixture of both happiness and pain, Ayaan wanted nothing more to do but just go up to her and erase all that pain away fro her. While Humeira saw something entirely different, she saw so much wonder and mischievous in his eyes, she saw a guy who wanted to be let lose. They were both brought back to their senses when they heard the clock struck 8 indicating it to be the end of their detention. Humeira stood up from her seat and left the room as if she was on fire embarrassed that she was caught staring at him, while Ayaan was dumbfounded at the fact that there was a girl beside his pen pal to whom he could share his problems with but the same girl was as annoying as hell. He let out a frustrated sigh before moving down the stairs and out the classroom.
Meanwhile
Zoya: YOU TOOK ME TO A FREAKIN CARNIVAL😡😡
She hollered at Asad while looking toward the park that was once empty but was now filled with Ferris wheels, rollercoasters, food stands, with hundreds of people walking, talking laughing with their faces glowing by lights in the background.
Asad: Not just any Carnival, Shimla Carnival, you see I wanted you to enjoy yourself for once so what better place then a Carnival.😃😃
Zoya: When will this night end??🤔
She muttered to herself only to be heard by Asad who just smirked at his plans for the night. He saw her right arm dangling on its side and grabbed her palm with his large one acting as if it was the most normal thing to do, while completely surprising Zoya.
Zoya: Let go of my hand😡😡
She said trying to free herself from his grip only to have it tighten more.
Asad: I don't think that you have ever been on a date so here is a quick summary, on dates people hold hand, so I suggest that you get use to it because believe me sweety I will be holding your hand for the rest of the evening, now come on I want to ride the Ferris wheel.😃
Before she could reply he yanked their way to the Ferris wheel and Zoya was thinking of 101 ways to murder him. They got on to the Ferris wheel with both of them sitting close by each other. Zoya who was getting pissed of him holding her hand pinched it with her nails.
Asad: OW, sheesh women do you have nails or claws.😲
He said while inspecting his hand while Zoya was smirking away. The ride soon started and Zoya was looking to her right over the Carnival she had to admit it was quite beautiful seeing Shimla from a high view, but the only thing destroying her view is the Jahapanah sitting next to her. Asad meanwhile was getting irritated by the silence.
Asad: SOOO???
Zoya: Listen I came on this date with you because you forced me to, trust me I would rather go jump off a cliff then be here but for Humeira I would do anything.😡
Asad: Wow you really care about your sister don't you?😊
He asked ignoring her insult. Zoya smiled remembering Humeira
Zoya: Yeah I do😊
She mumbled with a smile
Asad: If you really do wouldn't you have told her about your father then
Zoya gave him a instant glare for bringing up her father into this, Asad put up his hand to surrender. Zoya let out a heavy sigh, she was already getting tired of this "date", but if she had to be here with him they might as well talk.
Zoya: I'm afraid that if I tell him about her then maybe she will accept him as our father, and I just don't want to see her broken
Asad: Don't you think that if you don't tell her and if she does come to know that her father has been in the same city as her she will be heartbroken with the fact that her big sister didn't tell her.
Zoya stayed silence, she really didn't have a response she knew deep down that what she was doing was wrong but she just didn't want to admit it but now hearing someone else voice her thoughts she felt like a complete idiot. Asad who was noticing her saddened face slapped himself mentally from bringing up the topic. Soon the ride had ended with Zoya still dazed in her thoughts taking the opportunity Asad grabbed her hand bring her back down to earth. She gave him another angry glare pointing towards the hands.
Asad: Might as well get use to it I'm gonna be holding your hand the whole time😉😆
Zoya gave up seeing how determined he was but deep down she was starting to like the feel of their hands entwined it made her feel...loved. Soon they moved toward the narrow lines of the Carnival with Asad in front and Zoya a bit behind. They came up to a basketball stand.
Asad: Wanna play?😛
Zoya: Sure, but I'm warning you I will kick your ass
Asad: We will see about that...how about we make a bet...loser has to buy ice cream for the winner.😉
Zoya: You got it
They asked the man at the stand for 6 balls, it was best 2 out of 3 game. First it was Asad's turn. The first time and second time he threw the ball he got it in but missed the third time.
Zoya: HA you missed😆
She teased him.
Asad: Whatever, you still have your turn.😆
Zoya took her place in front of the baskets, she got all the baskets in no problem while Asad was staring at her wide eyed and mouth open. Zoya smirked seeing his face. She moved closer to him and put her finger on his chin.
Zoya: Close your mouth your gonna catch flies😉
She whispered without realizing that she was sounding too seductive to Asad. His heart felt as if it had stopped a beat feeling their close proximity. He was snapped out when he felt her yanking his arm towards the ice scream stand which was opposite them.
Zoya: You owe me an ice scream😃
Asad: My pleasure, so what would you like?😊
Zoya looked at the options and realized that she wasn't much of an ice scream fan in the first place. she liked ice scream in fact she loved it but because she always tries to keep fit she just doesn't eat anything junk food like.
Zoya: Ummm...just vanilla
Asad stared at her with eyes wide open, Zoya gave him a "what" look.
Asad: Even what you eat is boring,😡 bhaya please give two cones of cookie dough with strawberries on top with nuts and a spoon of fudge.😛
He asked the man,5 minutes later they had gotten their ice cream. Zoya looked at the huge ice cream cone in her hand thinking of how much fat must be in that.
Asad: For god sakes its ice cream not cocaine😡, just have some.
Zoya reluctantly moved the cone towards her mouth and had a gentle a lick. It was the most delicious thing that she had tasted in years, she could feel the cookie dough dancing with her taste buds to a rain dance asking for more. She put on an instant smile and started to eat her ice cream completely oblivious to the pair of eyes staring at her adorableness. Asad was going to have a taste of his own when out the corner of his eye he saw a little girl staring at his cone. The little girl looked weak and looked as of he hadn't eaten in hours, Asad truly felt bad for the girl just then an idea struck him.
Asad: Bhaya I said no nuts on mine see you have added nuts, I am allergic to nuts now what am I suppose to do with this.😡😡
He faked anger towards the sales man while the man looked at him confusedly. Asad faked putting his finger on his chin and rubbed it while looking around the carnival. His eyes landed on the girl pretending as if it were the first time he had noticed her. He moved towards her and kneeled down to her height.
Asad: Would you like to have my you see I cant eat nuts, so will you do me a huge favor and eat this for me?😃
He asked with a puppy dog face to which the girl giggled she nodded and took the cone from his hand and started to gobble it up. Asad was watching her admiration, she then jumped up and planted a small kiss on Asad;s cheek surprising him.
Girl: Thank you bhaya😃
She said and ran off. Asad smiled at her running figure completely oblivious to the fact that someone had been observing his every move for the past 5 minutes. Zoya was just in awe seeing the selfless man standing in front of her. She had never come across a man like him, all her life she had thought that men were only made to hurt women but now she knew that maybe there are some men who wanted to the complete opposite.
Asad: You done with that?
Asad asked snapping her out of her thoughts. She gave him a nervous nod and both started to move away from the ice cream stall. Soon Asad came across a water fight stand where you have to shoot the water directing into the clown's mouth and an idea struck his mind. He yanked their hands towards the stall.
Zoya: You are kidding me right?🤔
She asked with sarcasm looking at the clowns.
Asad: Hey I brought you here to have fun and that's what we are going to do, so grab a water gun and start shooting, my friend.😛
They both positioned themselves in front of a water gun and were now looking through the eyepiece aiming for the clowns open mouth. object of the game was to shoot water in the clowns mouth until the balloon at the top of his head blows up. They were both ready to start their shooting but as soon as the bell rang Asad diverted his gun and aimed it at Zoya spraying her with the cold water.
Zoya: GOD ASAD, YOUUU
While Asad was laughing like a maniac seeing her wet face, Zoya took the chance and aimed her water gun towards him taking him by surprise. After 5 minutes of shooting she stopped and started to laugh seeing him dripping wet from head to toe.
Zoya: Who's laughing now?😆
She turned around to run off by the next thing she knew she was yanked back into his arms with their faces only inches apart. Their breaths had started to get shallow with Zoya's chest moving up and down. They both looked into each other eyes getting completely drowned in the pool of emotions. Zoya saw the concern for her in his eyes while Asad saw, for the first time, mischeive. He tightened his hold on her waist pulling her closer and to his surprise she didn't move back, he observed her face, she wasn't wearing that much makeup only her red lipstick that made her lips look so soft and plump, how he wished he could just kiss those right now. He looked back at her eyes and noticed that she was still staring at him, he looked back down at her lips and couldn't hold himself and smacked their lips together. He poured out all that he has felt for her ever since he had laid his eyes on her in that kiss his love for her his care his concern, he didn't want the kiss to end he was sucking her lower lip as if it was his elixir of life to him. Zoya meanwhile stood their shocked beyond words, one minute she was just drowning in his eyes and the next he was nibbling on her lips, she wanted to move out and runaway but realized that her body was turning into mud, she felt herself go jelly under his hold he bit her lip making her moan. Soon she started to response back as well, she moved her hands up to the back of his head and weaved her fingers in and out of his hair pulling him closer. She didn't know why she was doing what she was doing, but for right now she just continued to pour out her feelings for the man who was kissing her as if there was no tomorrow. They were soon brought back down when they heard the shriek of a little girl.
Girl: Mummy, Mummy these guys are doing 18+ in public😲
This made Asad and Zoya pull away from each other as if they had touched fire. they turned away from the girl highly embarrassed still trying to calm down their heavy breathings and their erratic heartbeats. Asad was over the moon, that he had finally gotten to kiss the woman who has been disturbing his dreams every night while Zoya was trying her best to avoid any eye contact.
Asad: So ummm
He said only to be cut off
Zoya: Umm I have to go
Without giving him a chance to speak she practically ran out the carnival mentally slapping herself for her actions, but one thing was crystal clear to her she was falling in love with the man who has been haunting her thoughts for days now, and the idea scared her to no ends.
Precap:
Zoya missing classes
