Chapter 20
Asad and Zoya were embarrassed after what happen in the room... Zoya simply sat next to Dilshad and Shireen who were busy with their gossips, her mind kept drifting to the moment they shared...'Was he proposing me' she thought and blushed hard.
she kept stealing glances at Asad who sat a little far on the bench reading his novel...
They avoided further games with Najma and Ayan to not get embarrassed further.. They had enough...
Asad wanted to talk to her right away. he kept thinking of ways to escape from his annoying siblings.
He took out his phone and messaged her...
'walk up to the terrace of my house.. I'll see you there'
The beep on her phone brought her back from her reverie.
She blushed looking at his message and she glanced at him while he smiled and gestured her walking towards his house.
She replied to him 'why'
He rolled his eyes reading her message
'You can come if you want to.. Let me know if i could wait for you or carry on with my work instead'
'what an akdu.. Ya Allah, how am i going to live with this man' She thought..
She sighed and walked towards his house... luckily Ayan and Najma were busy playing and Imam, Dilshad and Shireen were into their talks... that's what she thought.. but they were very well aware of the actions... Shireen and Dilshad looked at each other and grinned
As she walked up to the terrace she messaged him ' I'm coming Mr Arrogant'
He smiled looking at her message
He sat on the bench with his hands crossed... she slowly walked up to him and sat next to him.
'Why did you call me here Mr Khan, what ever it is... tell me soon, i have to go' she said with a stern face to annoy him, he looked at her in disbelief 'She knows how to ruin a romantic moment' he thought
'uh, you can go if you want to... its not that important anyways' he said tauntingly, She was disappointed.
'Nothing at all' she asked, looking at him eagerly.
'seems like you have an important work' he said with a straight face
she rolled her eyes... and looked up 'Ya Allah help me'
she was silent for a while and looked straight waiting for him to initiate a conversation again.
He looked at her and sighed angrily and got up to leave
She looked at him leaving and held his hands stopping him and pulled him down to sit back on the bench
'Now what' he said sternly
'Why are you like this Mr Khan' she asked softly
'why are you like this?? you find everything funny, you love annoying me right. That's what you do. You don't even value my emotions' he said turning his face away
She smiled at him ' he complaints like a 5 year old kid, how cute' she thought staring at him
'look, your not even paying attention to my words' he said
she smiled and moved closer to him and placed her lips on his cheeks.. he instantly smiled and turned his face looking deeply into her eyes
Zoya moved away from him ' Allah Miyan.. what will everyone think, we are missing for so long.. I'm going down Mr Khan' She said and ran down the stairs
Asad grinned touching his cheeks where she pecked and go up and walked down to the garden
---------------------
Zoya was dressed in a light pink suit and her hair left open.
She looked simple yet elegant. Dilshad was coming to Shireen's house to discuss about the Nikah and for an official proposal.
Dilshad, Najma and Asad walked in and Shireen was so excited and started acting like the typical mom of the bride.. Dilshad rolled her eyes
'Shireen, stop behaving like this.. You don't have to follow these formalities'
'Dilshad, Now we are not just friends remember' She said dramatically
'Okay.. okay. Fine.. do as you want' She said tired of her antics
Ayan and Imam welcomed Asad with a hug
Asad sat on the couch along with Ayan and Najma on the either side
'Najma, go bring Zoya...' Shireen said, Najma nodded and walked up to the room.
Asad was mesmerized looking at her... She looked at him shyly and sat on the other couch
'Asad Miyan, baad main dekhle na' Ayan said bumping his shoulders on Asad's
Asad looked away... It was decided that the engagement would take place the very next day and the Nikah after 2 weeks... Everyone exchanged hugs congratulating each other..
'Arre.. you two can hug.. right ammi' Ayan said winking at Asad... While both their faces turned a shade of red. Both the families had dinner together... the dining table was filled with laughter
-------
Asad and Zoya kept thinking about each other... They were getting engaged the very next day
There was a knock on Zoya's door bringing her back from her dreamland
'Come in' she said
Ayan came in grinning..' I hope i didn't disturb you' He said sitting on the bed
'Not at all Ayan'
'By the way... today is the last day to be Single' he said giggling
'So, i was thinking, why don't we celebrate it' he said and Najma too joined them carrying some coke cans and snacks... Zoya's eyes were wide open
'celebrating... I mean like really.. nice' she said clasping her hands.
'You must be wondering why is int Bhaijaan here right' Najma said
Zoya looked at her happily thinking that Asad would join them.
'bhaijaan hates parties and you know what, since he's not working tomorrow, he sat down to finish all his work' She said .
Zoya was disappointed and sighed sadly. The three had a lot of fun dancing, chatting and munching... Time to time Zoya kept looking at her phone expecting his call... After their fun filled activities they called it a night..
Zoya was annoyed at Asad. She dialed his number
'you haven't slept yet' he asked with concern in his voice
'No, i was partying' she said. Anger visible in her tone
'Partying?? for what joy' He asked
'because Its the last day ill be single, so i am enjoying my freedom'
'Hmm... So, you think from tomorrow onwards you wont have any freedom??'
'Yes. i think so.. and by the was, there was no point of such freedom...you gave me all the freedom today right.. You gave me my space by not calling or messaging, Right' She said sarcastically. He smile understanding the reason for her anger.
'Actually i was busy with work.. I'm taking an off tomorrow so, i had to finish off a lot of work'
'Mr Workaholic' She said rolling her eyes
'Okay... If you grant me some time, i can prove to be a workaholic. I seriously have loads of work Zoya' He said as sweetly as he could
'Fine. Bye' She said and hung up the call.
'She doesn't even know how to end a conversation.. Silly girl. I wonder how she would react if she gets to know that i am leaving to Delhi'
-----
The engagement preparations were going on a full swing... Shireen kept running around making sure everything was set proper and Ayan was busy checking the outside decorations
Zoya was nervous... Najma was with her side making her feel better.
'Zoya, why are you getting nervous, Do you want to meet bhaijaan once before the function... You'll feel better' Najma suggested
'No Najma... I don't know what i want, I mean. I'm just nervous' She said biting her lips, Najma chuckled
'Silly girl... Just get up and follow me.. ' She said pulling Zoya along with her
'Where are you taking me Najma, Phupi asked me not to go out'
'Relax, Your phupi and my ammi are busy with the preparations... We'll sneak out'
'No Najma.. please'
Zoya couldn't protest, by then they reached the garden area and they walked upto Asad's room window...
'Najma, what are you doing... I'm going' She said pulling away from Najma's grip
'Zoya. Not fair... You came up until here and now you want to go.. No ways.. Bhaijaan ' She shouted knocking on his window... Zoya covered her face with her palms completely embarrassed...
'Najma please, this is not a good idea' She said trying to convince her but in vein, by then Asad pushed open his window shocked to see Najma and Zoya.
'What are you two doing here' he said with a smirk on his face looking at Zoya's face, she had turned crimson red
'Bhaijaan, bhabhi seems to be a little nervous, so i brought her here. Not only that, she was dying to meet you since yesterday and she was disappointed that you didn't join us for the party' she said and looked at Zoya winking while she said the last few words...
Zoya's jaw dropped...' Najma.. i never said that okay' she said glaring at her while Asad had a big grin on his face
'Zoya.. its okay, its your going to be fiance so chill. And by the way i am giving you guys just 5 minutes okay... now go.. jump in' she said pushing Zoya to climb through his window into his room and walked away...
Zoya looked at her with a shock, Asad held Zoya's hands and guided her inside his room and closed his windows...
'Mr Khan, what ever Najma said.. i mean she was just lying... she was the one who got me here. Forcefully' She said nervously fidgeting with her dupatta and her eyes glued on the floor...
Asad walked close to her and lifted his hands caressing her cheek...
he held her chin up making her face him ' Zoya' he whispered in his husky voice.
She blushed 'Do you know why i am working so much' he asked and she shook her head
' So that i could spend all my time with my wife after the nikah' he said looking at her caressing her cheek, while she smiled.
He looked down at her plump lips and lowered his head, Zoya pushed him walking back ' Mr Khan, Najma said 5 minutes.she'll come here any minute. I think i should leave' She said stammering and walked towards the window.
he pulled her arm pinning her to the wall. Zoya gulped and looked at him nervously. he heart raced as he moved his hands from her wrist to her arms and held her waist pulling her closer and wrapping his arm around her with one hand and the other holding her neck rubbing his thumb on her flushed cheek.
She felt his minty breath on her lips. Zoya closer her eyes breathing heavily as her lips parted. Asad smiled and captured her lips with his... He kept drawing circles on her waist and she held his shoulder tightly and slowly moved her hands around his neck as he deepened the kiss, his skin was burning hot to the touch. Passion burned with the kiss. Neither of them wanted this to end but they were out of breath and broke the kiss breathing heavily as he rested his forehead on her's... they closed their eyes and breathed. Asad reached her hands and entwined his fingers with her's and smiled, eyes still closed... After they calmed down Asad Whispered 'Zoya'
'Hmm' was all she could say
'Zoya' he said again and she opened her eyes looking down with flushed face and tightened her grip an his hands
'Look at me Zoya' he and she slowly lifted her eyes to meet his. She looked at his deep brown eyes which screamed passion, she was drowning into his eyes
'I love you' he said in a husky voice... Zoya's heart skipped a beat and she felt numb all of a sudden. She looked away shyly not meeting his intense gaze.
As usual Najma interrupted their moment 'Zoya... its been like 20 minutes.. come soon' she shouted standing near the window
'Give us a minute Najma' Asad said loudly as he rolled his eyes making Zoya giggle at his reactions... He looked back at Zoya with a smile on his face. He freed his hands from her's and held her shoulders 'Zoya, i will be leaving for Delhi tonight'
'Tonight' she repeated sadly... 'Right after our engagement?' she asked pouting her lips
'yes.. I have an important meeting tomorrow'
'But you already attended a meeting in Delhi right'
'Uh.. actually, i never had a meeting when i went there, I went early' He said stammering...
He left to Delhi only because he wanted Zoya to be happy since she didn't want to face him... Zoya understood the situation and nodded
'Okay Mr Workaholic' She said giggling and Climbed on the sofa to reach his window
'You didn't reply' He said and she turned towards him knowing what he meant, 'Reply to what Mr Khan' She said playfully
'I think you know what i meant' He said while She raised her eyebrow
'Oh really... Well, Not so fast Mr Khan' She said and jumped out of the window
'Careful' he shouted reaching up to her
'I'm fine..' She said smiling and ran away
------
The Engagement was a private affair...It was held in Shireen's house, technically Zoya's. Both the families Were happy and content as the couple slipped the rings onto each others fingers marking their rights.
Zoya was dressed in a Red Suit and Asad in his tux with a red tie. The ceremony came to an end with family pictures and Dinner together. It was time for Asad to leave for Delhi. He had a flight to catch at 11PM. Zoya was disappointed but she knew it was an important meeting for him at attend, she never protested and let him go with a smile on her face.
Zoya wanted to send him off at the airport but Asad wasn't happy with the idea since it was too late. As he changed his clothes and took a look at his suitcase, Zoya walked in to his room. He turned towards the door feeling her presence and walked up to her pulling her into his arms as she buried her face into his neck taking his scent. He Kissed her neck and she smiled parting away from him and she held his hands tightly looking at him
'Take care and come back as soon as possible. I mean right after the meeting' She said
'Yes' He said bowing his head down
'Anything else?' He asked tugging her hair strands behind her ears
She nodded silently.
She was finding it hard to send him off... They just got engaged and he had to leave. He scrolled his suitcase and walked towards Zoya and kissed her forehead
'Think about your reply. I want to hear it, right after i come back from Delhi...' He said making her blush...
They walked outside hand in hand as the rest of the family members were waiting for them outside, giving the couple their private time
