Chapter-5

Asad kept looking at Zoya without blinking his eyes for a few moments, Zoya had looked at him for one instant, and finding his intense stare at her, lowered her eyelashes... Not knowing how to react. After a few moments Asad cleared his throat and then in a low soft volume said-

A: Aap kuch bolengi nahi Miss. Farooqui?

Zoya did not say anything, but kept looking down. That made Asad give out a small chuckle. This wasn't the nature of the bubbly girl he had heard on call. Amused, he continued,

A: Aap aise nazrein jhukaaye kyu baithi hain. I won't eat u up. (He chuckled again)

Zoya slightly raised her eye lashes looking nothing in particular, and definitely not at Asad, and then said-

Z: Aap mujhe aise kyu dekh rahe hain Mr. Khan?

A: Kyu? Mana hai aapko aise dekhna?

Z: Nahi, but it is looking so awkward...

Asad chuckled at her palpable discomfort, and then very lovingly began,

A: Aap bohot hee zyada khoobsurat lag rahi hain Miss. Farooqui... Mere tasavvur(imagination) se bhi kahin zyada haseen.

And that was it, a sunshine smile broke on Zoya's face, one single appreciation from the one, for whom she had dressed up with so delicacy, made her day. And that was all she needed to come out of her shell, and with a vibrant smile, and the exact vibrancy in her voice she said,

Z: Thank you Mr. Khan... Isi baat pe ek sher arz hai... (On Asad's silence) Arey, Irshaad toh boliye...

A: Ji, Irshaad-irshaad...

Z: Toh arz kiya, mulaaiza ghaur farmaaiye

Bhaag gaye saare dard, mit gayi saari takleef,

Arrey, waah-waah toh kijiye...

A: Waah-waah!!!

Z: Bhaag gaye saare dard, mit gayi saari takleef,

Bhaag gaye saare dard, mit gayi saari takleef,

Zoya Farooqui ki taraf se Thank you,

Jo aapne ki meri taareef...

Shukriyaa-shikriyaa-shukriya!!!

A(Disinterested) : Aap New York mein shaayar thi?

Z: Oh no Mr. khan!!! I was an electronic engineer...

A: Toh phir ye phati hui shaayari ka marz aapko kaise laga Miss Farooqui?

Z: Allah Miyaan what's wrong with you Mr. Khan!!! Aapko pata bhi hai Phati shayari kisey kehte hain?

And Zoya stood up from the chair, clearly angry... Asad was non-plussed... he too stood up, and fearing she'll get away from here, he caught her palm in his...

A: Ruko Zoya!!!

Zoya was electrified for a moment. His first touch and him calling her with her first name. All she could utter from her stumbled speech was- "J... Ji..."

Asad made her sit again, and then sat in front...

A: OH! I'm sorry... Didn't mean to hurt you... Dekhiye baat kahan se kahan chali gayi, mai toh bas aapki taareef kar raha tha, aur phir...

Zoya smiled to herself, and then looked at him for once, to fit his image in her mind. A perfect physique... well built, on it the traditional Indian wear, spotless white Pyjama-Kurta, perfectly clinging on to him, finely cut hair, and very light stubble, giving him the manly look, that any girl could die for, for her man... Zoya blushed and smiled together, this is going to be her man soon... she did not know why, but the choice made for her, made her so proud.

Waving away the thoughts, she smiled at him, and then replied back...

Z: Mr. Khan, you too are looking very handsome.

Asad did not know how to react, all he knew, he felt embarrassed at the statement. Girls' commenting on him wasn't what he had always given his ear to. But, this statement was from someone, who is soon going to be his better half, still he was too new at this... with a smile on his face, he thanked her, and prompted her to start having breakfast, and started talking one after the other about their choices, not to mention Zoya being more at the speaking end.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, after breakfast when both of them came back to the hall, there were curious eyes on them, as if asking them what they had the talk or how they liked each other, But, Asad's one stern look told his family, he's not going to share that with anybody, and Zoya's obvious smile gave all of them the answers, that she is finally happy meeting him.

In the noon, Dilshaad announced they are going to go for shopping after sometime, to buy the necessary stuffs for the bride and groom, and asked both of them to go the market together... Asad gave a stern look at his mother, and she overruled all of them, stating, they need to buy things as per their mutual choices, and not that of the family... That made both of them reluctantly agree for it...

Zoya, was sitting next to Asad in the car, when she asked,

Z: Mr. Khan, where are we going to buy the stuff from?

A: Emmm... I think we should go to DB City Mall...

Z: Why mall? Aren't there any local markets here?

A: Come on Miss. Farooqui, we do not go to the local markets to buy our stuffs.

Z: okay, but it's not like we are buying some priceless stuffs, it's just some regular things... Please Mr. Khan... please-please-please... Pretty please...

The innocence, in her eyes made the ruthless businessman left behind his repute and prestige and decided to go in to the local market nearby, walking into the crowded streets with his wife-to-be. They had just reached there, when Zoya excitedly asked him,

Z: Mr. Khan ye kaun sa market hai?

A: This is called the Chawk Bazaar, the local market near to our house.

Zoya looked pretty excited going through the local market dragging Asad along, buying some of the stuffs they thought were necessary to buy, when she almost yelled,

Z: Mr. Khan!!! Ice-cream Parlour!!!

A: What is the need to shout Miss. Farooqui? Chaliye...

Zoya and Asad went into the Top 'n' Town Parlour, and brought out their favourite flavours, with Asad on the Vanilla, and Zoya on the Chocolate flavour... Asad was so amused to see Zoya licking the ice-cream like a little child, not caring if that smears her lips, but relishing it to the core... Zoya was a real carefree girl, unaware of the atrocities of life, completely enjoying her life, as it presented it to her...

Unknown to himself, Asad was smiling whole heartedly, when Zoya saw him... And that bought another smile on her face, not because of the ice-cream, but, for the lovely smile he had, and that made her life bright...
