Hello everyone😊My name is nida,and this is my first is on asya
I wake up,feeling the heat and light of the suns rays hitting my face,blinding my eye.Groaning,I cover my eyes with my pillow,trying to block the light.I try to sleep,but found myself awake.Wining I proceeded towards the bathroom.
I glance at the mirror.Clad in a blue jeans and red top,the girl smiles backs at me.Red it is his favourite color.I would do anything for him.I could wear red everyday just to feel him glancing at me,his lips curving into an appreciative smile.
He was my best friend,my guide,my protector,my life.I glance at the photoframe,which hung on the wall.It was a picture of him and myself at our freshers day party.Freshers day party,hw can I forget it.He was so possesive.
Flashback
I was wearing a gown,which was strapless.
I was very apprehencive about my looks.Descending down the stairs,I felt his eyes on me.I felt heat rushing to my cheeks,when i saw him openly ogling at me.I stopped in front of him,clearing my throat to gain his attention.He quickly closed his mouth.
'You look beatiful zoya',he whispered.
I smiled,pushing a strand of my hair,behind my ear.'Thankyou'.
He held my hand in his,and led me to his car.We were on our way,when he said'Zoya don't flirt with anyone,if any guy ask you for a dance say no to them '.
'Allah miya what's wrong with you?Why would i do that?',i asked,huffing in annoyance.
'Because i said so.You don't know how guys think.You re very innocent zoya',he reasoned.
I folded my arms across my chest'Look who s speaking,the biggest playboy of our college'.
He grinned.'I do flirt with girls.But,its just for fun'.
Making a face,i say'If i am not suppose to flirt with guys,then the same rule applies to you'.
He frowned.'Okay,i ll try'.
Within no time we reached.
I was standing alone,waiting for Asad to return.He had gone to get a drink for me.I search for him,but he was nowhere to be seen.I felt someone tap my shoulder,i turn around thinking its Asad.
But,to my disappointment i find Farhaan,standing in front of me with a huge smile on his face.I smile,trying to be polite.
He extended his hand forward.'May i have the pleasure to dance with you zoya'.
'um,farhaan I don't dance',I said.
He dropped his hand to his side.'O common zoya,its just a dance',he urged.
'Actually I was searching for Asad,did you see him?',I asked.
He frowned.'Asad is busy with tanveer',he pointed,behind my back.I glance at the direction to which he pointed,and saw Tanveer kissing Asad s cheek.Narrowing my eyes,I turn towards farhaan.'Lets dance'.
Beaming,he leads me to the dance floor.We were busy dancing,when I saw Asad appear in front of me.His face red with anger.He grabbed my hand,and was leading me outside.Farhaan steepped in front of us'Whats your problem?Leave her alone',he said.
Asad fixed her with a glare.Farhaan automatically stepped backward.'Stay out of this!',he hissed.
I struggled against his hold.'Just leave me Asad,what's your problem',I asked,finally freein my hand,once we were outside the party hall.
he narrowed his eyes.'Why were U dancing with him?',he snapped.
I snorted.'I am not a kid,I can dance with whomever I want',I retorted.
He ran his fingers through his hair.'I don't like to see you with anyone zoya',he said.
'Asad,you can let tanceer kiss you.I can't dance with farhaan?',I snapped.
He sighed.'Well she kissed me!I dint tell her to kiss me.And,you're my best friend zoya.I don't like to see you with anyone else',he explained.
I knew it.Tanveer always tried to impress Asad.Always doing things to attract his attention.I should have known he s not at fault.
'Okay,I won't dance with him.Now can we go inside and enjoy the party'.
He grinned,placing his arm on my waist,and proceeding towards the party hall.
flashback ends
Applying kohl,i decide to go downstairs.From childhood we were inseprable.We went to the same school and college.His dad and my dad were best friends.We would always be together,spending time at my house or his place.He was my neighbour.
When i went downstairs,i found some people decorating the house with flowers.I look around,my eyes frantically searching for my mother.
i finally find her.'Mom what's happening?',i inquired.
'oh,today s your engegement',she announced.
I felt my eyes coming out of my socket.She said it so casually.'What!',i said.
My mother gigled'Dont you want to see the picture of the guy you're getting married to?',she asked.
I felt my head spinning.How could i tell my mother i don't want to get married.I love Asad,the worst part was i wasn't even sure Asad loved me.
'I don't want to see anybody's picture.I don't want to get married ',i said.To my utter suprise she smiled.'Every girl says the same thing',she said smiling to herself.
I exhaled loudly,running my hands through my fingers,i proceeded towards my room.
Tears stung my eyes,but to my utter suprise i found Asad sitting on the bed.
Swallowing the lump in my throat,i rush towards him.He wrapped his arms around me.
'Whats the matter zoya?',he asked
'Mom and dad have decided to get me married.Todays my engagement ',i tell him between sobs.
He chuckled.'Obviously they ll get U married.We finished our college.Everyone has to get married one day',he reasoned.
My heart broke into a millions of pieces.'You re fine with me getting married?',i asked.
He shrugged his shoulders.'Fine.More than fine.I am very happy',he announced.
I wiped my tears.That moment i knew i was wrong to assume that he loved me.He only considered me as his friend.
'Did you see the guys pic?',he inquired.
I shook my head.'It doesn't matter,my parents have chooses the guy.I am sure he ll be perfect for me',i said.
'I am sure he v ll be',he grinned,kissing my forehead,moving towards the window.
'Asad,go through the door.There s no need to go through the pipe'.He grinned.'Meet you at night'.
Dressed in a red saree,wearing heavy jewellery and makeup,i descended down the stairs.
I found Asad wearing a black suit,looking as handsome as ever.I glanced at him,was it love that I could see in his eyes?But,I was wrong.Not even once he told me he loved me.He was more than happy to learn I am getting engaged.
My mother guided me towards Asad and his family,stopping right in front of Asad.He smiled widely.
'Lets start with the engagement ceremony',said my father.My eyes widened.Whats happening?,I wondered.
Asad grinned ,taking my hands in his.
'Asad what are you doing?',I asked nervously.
'Putting a ring on your finger,and claiming you as mine.Forever',he said,while pushing the ring on my ring finger.
I glanced at mother,she was smiling.'Cmon zoya,put the ring on Asad s finger.He is our choice.The perfect husband for you',she said.
I couldn't beleive my ears.So all ofthos Asad knew from the starting.All of them knew.And,the most important thing Asad loved me.
I slip the ring on his finger.My hears swelling with hapiness.
Everyone applauded,showering us with rose petals.
I was at the garden,enjoying the cool breeze
I felt a pair of hand,encircling my waist.I relaxed,recognising his touch.He rested his chin on my shoulder.'What are you thinking future mrs khan?',he said
Smiling,I turn around.'I was thinking of a plan to run away from my nikaah',I said.
His brows knit together'Why?',he asked.
With hands on my hips I said'just like that'
He smiled,pulling me closer to himrubbing his nose against mine.'You won't un away,I will always find you,you know how?',he asked,while I shook my head,'Because you ll always be in my heart'.My hearbeat accelerated looking at his searing gaze.
I turned around to leave,when he caught my hand in his.He placed his forefinger on my chin,forcing me to look into his eyes.'I love you zoya',he whispered.
I felt my heart swell with hapiness.I though I couldn't be happier.'I love you Asad',I whispered,hiding my head in his chest,too shy to look at him.
I could hear him smile,and feel his hold on me tighten.
I knew this is where I truly belong.
