CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR :
'Wasn't it raining last night ?' Ayaan asked with a wide grin on his face as soon as he realized the reason behind their behavior while Asad gave him a deathly glare to not speak a word further which Ayaan followed quietly.
'Ya Allah ! It reminds me that I forgot my guitar at Saad's place last night.' Zoya whined as soon as Ayaan mentioned rain remembering how they came out of their house in haste.
'Which guitar ? I guess you broke it last week.' Humaira asked her confusedly.
'No its a new one. Asad gifted me.' She replied while proudly looking at Asad who was late in stopping her from telling everyone.
And now they all start ! Asad thought annoyingly who was very well aware of his drama family while taking the newspaper back from the table.
'What ? Asad gifted you a guitar ?' Dilshad asked her surprisingly while Humaira and Ayaan were also shocked at this revelation.
'Yes he did but I forgot it in the party.' Zoya said sadly. 'Asad I want it back.' She requested while holding his hand which was on the newspaper. His grip got tight on the newspaper as soon as he felt her soft touch on his hand.
'I --- Actually I will tell Saad to send it.' Asad stammered while Zoya moved her hand back and rolled her eyes in disbelief.
'Jeejz you have changed so much for Zoya. Can I know the reason behind it ?' Humaira asked him mischievously.
'Call me Bhaijaan Humaira.' Asad pointed out her mistake again while concentrating on the newspaper and ignored what she asked.
'Its a different emotion which you are not aware of Humaira Begum.' Ayaan replied her annoyingly while Asad smiled behind the newspaper understanding his point. Humaira made a weird face on his filmy lines while Dilshad exchanged a confused look with Zoya before leaving the dining room.
'But bhaijaan what's wrong in calling you Jeejz ? Its so cool.' Humaira asked for the umpteenth time ever since she was here while Asad stayed quiet again making Humaira sigh sadly.
'Allah Miyaan ! What's wrong with you Asad ?' Zoya exclaimed annoyingly. 'My sister is asking you something and you are not even interested in answering her ?' Zoya asked him in disbelief while he huffed in annoyance at her typical wifey behavior and looked at her.
'Zoya when i don't answer it means I don't agree and I guess Humaira knows it very well thats why she is fine with it.' He said while looking at Humaira who was calmly doing her breakfast.
'But whats wrong in jeejz ? It sounds so cool and if I was on Humaira's place then I would have forced you to allow me for calling that.' She snapped back angrily while Ayaan choked on his juice as he can never imagine his Humaira to be Asad's wife and same goes with Asad who was fuming with anger now while Humaira started laughing at their reactions.
'Forget it Zoya ! Bhaijaan is not going to agree.' Humaira said and pretended to be sad while Zoya accepted the challenge.
'Won't you allow her for me Asad ?' Zoya asked sweetly this time while Asad rolled his eyes at her change of tone.
'Why should I ? What am I getting in return ?' Asad asked casually while again keeping himself busy reading.
'I will k --- I mean I will hug you in return.' Zoya said sheepishly while Asad's lips curved up in a perfect smile as he was very well aware of what Zoya covered up in her words.
'Ahan ! So Mr and Mrs Khan have started hugging eachother ?' Ayaan asked with a smirk on his face while Zoya pretended to be shy infront of Asad. He stood up and walked out before she can blurt out about what happened last night between them.
'Hi Asad !' Vishaal entered the house while they all turned towards the door where Asad was hugging him.
'Hi Ayaan and Hi Beautiful NRI Bhabhi !' Vishaal greeted all of them one by one while Asad scratched his eyebrow when he called Zoya beautiful.
'You forgot your guitar last night and I had to talk to Asad so I told Saad that I will drop it.' Vishaal told the reason of his arrival while Zoya walked towards him and took the guitar from his hand.
'Thanks !' She said with a smile adorning her face.
'You can go. I will join you later.' said Asad to Zoya who was asking him in weird sign languages about when are they leaving for hospital.
She nodded in yes and walked towards her room but her ears did catch what Vishaal said to Asad while walking towards Asad's room.
'You were not ready to listen to me last night so I thought to come home and talk in detail about whatever happened there.' Vishaal said and Asad shut the door after entering inside with him while Zoya was left confused about what they are going to talk about.
---------------------------------------
He was walking towards the laboratory. His mind was busy thinking about what Vishaal told him about Sehrish when he stopped in his way sensing her presence nearby by her loud chirpy voice. He looked here and there and walked inside the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit with hope to see Zoya. He noticed her in a corner busy with a kid around 3 to 4 years old while he walked towards one of his patients to show that he came just by the way.
He kept on checking vitals of few patients while looking at Zoya who was busy telling a story to that kid now and never noticed him. He was checking out reports of a kid who was confused to see his new Doctor while Zoya kept on making faces to describe an animated story. His smile grew wide when he noticed her dimpled smile. She was busy in the book when he felt like tucking the strand of her hair behind her ear which was irritating her since a long time while she rubbed her nose with her handkerchief.
She moved her hair back annoyingly and that is when she noticed him who was busy reading the reports again. She waited for him to look up while he tried to look at her secretly again but was caught by her. She raised her eyebrow and he took a deep breath while walking towards her.
'I came to check a patient's reports and just noticed you now.' He said confidently while she shook her head in disbelief still sitting on the bed.
'Allah Miyaan ! What's wrong with you Dr Khan ?' She exclaimed while he pinched the bridge of his nose and told her to lower her voice when he saw few nurses looking at them. She took a deep breath and controlled her voice this time. 'Can you tell me how do you read when you are holding the file upside down ?' She asked and took the file from his hand which he was holding while he mentally killed himself for his mistake.
'I can read it by holding upside down. Its my case not yours.' He said sheepishly and tried to take the reports from her hand.
'Oh really ? Tell me your patient's name then ?' She asked mischievously while he was not understanding why she was hell bent to make him say that he was here for her even though she knew already.
'Ermm --- actually --- I am never interested in patient's name.' He said in the same tone and adjusted his collar while the kid was quietly listening to them.
'Then tell me what he is suffering from ? Or what does this report say ?' She asked. Her voice was calm and authoratative while their was no answer from his side. She looked up at him who was trying to remember if he read anything in the file. 'Asad atleast agree that you are here for me. I won't bite you.' She said annoyingly and sighed sadly while he thought to agree as their wasn't any other option.
'I came here to meet you.' He admitted in low voice while her smile grew wide as soon as he said that.
'I knew it !' She exclaimed happily while he kept his finger on lips telling her to lower her voice while she nodded in yes. He wondered how people manage with her in his absence.
'So Dr Khan meet Abhimanyu and Abhimanyu he is my Dr Khan.' She introduced both of them as soon as she realized that they were talking infront of a patient while Asad smiled when she called him 'my Dr Khan'.
'Hi Doctol.' He said while looking down still and Asad got confused at the cute little kid's behavior.
'He is the patient I am going to operate tomorrow.' said Zoya in low voice and he understood that the kid was having cataract in his eyes thats why his image was blur.
'Ohh ! Hi Abhimanyu --- ermm how are you ?' Asad asked with a smile gracing his face.
'I am fine How ale you ? I have heard sho much about you.' He said in his sweet voice while Asad was happy to know that Zoya discusses him with her patients.
'I hope the good things only ?' He asked mischievously while pulling his cheeks and looking at Zoya.
'Yesshh ! She told me that you ale the besht husband ever and she loves your gifts.' Abhimanyu told him while he was left stunned at his words.
Me ? Best Husband ? Really ? He thought as he can never forget his mistakes while looking at Zoya who nodded in yes while reading his eyes.
'Lets go now. Abhi I will come to see you later. Your Mom must be on her way.' She stood up from his bed before he can blurt out everything she told him while Asad smiled.
'Bye Dr Khan.' Abhimanyu shook his hand with Asad while Zoya kept the books back in his shelf. They both walked out of the PIDU while Asad was busy checking his phone now.
'Asad I didn't get my pizza and flowers today ?' She asked all of a sudden while walking with him towards her office.
'Why you need flowers now ? I thought I am forgiven ?' He asked casually still looking at his phone.
Yah he is right. She thought but was not able to digest the fact that she is not going to get those notes anymore.
'So no more gifts and flowers ?' She asked and pulled out a perfect pout on her face while he stopped in his way and looked at her confusedly.
'I miss those flowers in my room --- and your notes too.' She said sheepishly while he was not understanding what was so special in his notes.
'I will always send you flowers Zoya specially when you are not expecting that.' He said while tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear while she flashed her dimpled smile happily.
'Thanks !' she said and tried to walk away from him when he held her hand. She looked back at him confusedly.
'What about the deal you did in the morning Dr Zoya ?' He asked innocently but she did notice a slight smirk on his face.
