Chapter 9

A few days later Dilshaad, Najma and Asad were invited by Zeenat for lunch. While on their way Asad received a call from Zoya. He was happy to see her name flash on his phone but as soon as he heard her voice he knew something was terribly wrong. He swerved his car towards the curb and jammed the brakes listening to her. The look on his face told Dilshaad and Najma that something was not right. As soon as he disconnected the call he reignited the engine accelerating at high speed.

"Slow down Asad. You're driving too fast." But he just looked at his Ammi for a second and then concentrated back on the road ahead. Dilshaad continued "Is everything alright Asad?"

He looked at his mother with worry in his eyes and tried to say something but the words wouldn't come. He gulped as he felt his throat turn completely dry and then managed to put together a sentence that his mother could understand.

"Zoya called...Anwar Jiju has been arrested for fraud at the company he works."

Dilshaad was shocked to hear this and immediately her thoughts went to Zeenat and Zoya.

As soon as they reached Zeenat's house Asad saw a distraught Zoya run down the stairs and before he could react she threw her arms around him crying. He held her in a tight embrace trying to comfort her. He looked at his Ammi for help but realized both Najma and her were already in the house. He understood that Zeenat would also be in a similar condition. He realized Zoya was crying clutching onto him and repeating the same thing that her Jiju is innocent and that he has not done anything.

"Asad I swear by Allah, my Jiju can't do anything like this. He has been framed. He is innocent Asad. Please do something." She cried almost screaming at him. "You are a very famous man here Asad, they will listen to you. Please tell the police to release Jiju, he's innocent I know it. My Jiju is a pure soul Asad. You know na he's looked after me as his own child not affected by my scars or that I' am an orphan. He brought me into his home even with all the flaws that I have. How can someone so loving and caring stoop so low? Please Please Please do something." Asad saw her crying so bitterly and tried to comfort her. He gently caressed her head to calm her down. He said words of comfort to her but she just wasn't listening to him.

Zoya clawed at his collar grabbing it and shaking Asad trying to make him understand. After a few minutes when he realized that she was just not listening to him he held her arms in a tight grip "Zoya enough." He roared at her shaking her aggressively. Zoya stilled hearing the anger in his voice and realized how tight his grip was on her arms. She stopped immediately and almost winced in pain looking up at him. Asad relaxed his hold and pulled her into his arms.

"Zoya I know Jiju is innocent and that he can never do anything like this. But we need to talk... We need to talk and understand the whole situation."

He felt her nodding against his chest and he dropped a light kiss on the top of her head. Zoya looked up at him and mumbled a thank you which he acknowledged with a faint smile and whispered a welcome to her.

They walked into the house to see Zeenat crying and explaining what had happened to Dilshaad and Najma. Zoya quickly went to the kitchen to prepare tea for everyone as they had a lot to sort out and her instincts told her that the times ahead were tough.

Zoya came back to see Asad talking on the phone and her Aapi and Phoophi huddled together on the couch. Najma came forward immediately and helped Zoya with the tea.

"Ammi, I've spoken to the head of my legal department and they will be handling Jiju's case." Zoya looked at him with eyes wide open. He looked at her shocked expression and with a slight nod of his head asked her what was wrong. She shook her head in negative and walked back into the kitchen talking to herself aloud "Allah miyan. What will we do now? Jiju needs help but Asad's legal department must be very expensive. He's a big businessman and his team must consist of the best lawyers in Bhopal. How will we afford them? No no we can't, I will tell him to look for some other lawyer for Jiju's case."

She heard him clear his throat behind her and turned around to see Asad standing at the threshold of the kitchen, staring at her. She fidgeted with the spoon in her hand and looked away. Asad took a step towards her and with arms crossed at his chest asked her "Were you saying something?" Zoya looked at him shocked and very slowly shook her head in negative.

"Who were you talking to Zoya?" he asked but she didn't say anything and looked away trying to hide the tears and her worry from him. She wanted to cry feeling helpless in this situation where she didn't know what she should do to help her Jiju but she didn't want to take advantage of his friendship either. Asad looked at her for a couple of minutes and when he didn't get any answer from her he closed the distance between them and took her hands in his. He squeezed her hands in his, comforting her. Zoya looked at him after a few minutes of letting the warmth of his hands calm her down. She didn't know why but his touch always calmed her and helped her think straight.

Asad repeated his question and heard her exhale loudly.

"I can't take this favor Asad." She finally said with lowered eyes not wanting him to read her emotions. Asad stood there holding her hand, looking at her for a long moment but didn't say anything.

She looked up after a long time and saw hurt in his eyes. She understood he had heard all her mumbling. Asad took a few steps away from her and without a word went to the living room. Zeenat looked much better now and in control of her emotions. He wanted to talk to her and get some information regarding what could have happened.

"Kh... Khala ... Do you have any information about Jiju's office... I mean is there anything you can tell me that might help us understand the whole situation better." He asked Zeenat and immediately kicked himself for addressing Zeenat as Khala and Anwar as Jiju.

"Why are you calling me Khala Asad?" Zeenat asked him shocked as he always addressed her as Aapi like Zoya did.

He saw Zoya return and she looked confused too at the change in the way he addressed her Aapi. She was too intrigued to know the reason behind the change that she forgot what had happened in the kitchen.

He looked at Zeenat and said "Khala, some people are under the misconception that whatever I do for this house is only because of them, rather I should saw my relation with them. They don't realize that my mother is your friend first and that is the relation that binds me to this house." With a cold expression in his eyes he looked straight at Zoya and said "Nothing else does."

Zoya's eyes widened with shock at his harsh words. She realized why he was saying what he just did. She took a step towards him to clarify what she meant but Zeenat spoke up stopping Zoya in her tracks.

"That my dear is true. You are bound us, to this house because of Dilshaad and I am very happy you called me Khala, Aapi is also good but I liked it when you called me Khala."

Zoya looked at him and saw him staring at her with no expressions at all. As the day went by Asad was busy with one phone call after the other. Whenever not on the phone, he stayed with his Ammi and Zeenat ignoring Zoya completely. Zoya couldn't take his ignorance anymore and excused herself to go to her room. She wished he would follow her there and then she would explain why she said what she had said in the kitchen. She waited for almost an hour but Asad never came. She couldn't take it anymore and went back to the living room. She saw them all still sitting there and Asad was again on the phone. She offered coffee to everyone and Asad snapped his head in her direction as soon as he heard her voice.

Zoya gave him a small smile which he ignored and went back to talking on the phone. She didn't know why but she was feeling alone once again. The same feeling started clawing at her heart, the one she had felt the night she discovered she was adopted. She wanted to talk to him but he just ignored her. Zoya walked into the kitchen and quickly prepared coffee for everyone. She came out to find her Aapi and Phoophi engrossed in their conversation and Najma listening to them trying to understand all that was happening. She set the tray on the table and picked up Asad's coffee moving towards the window where he was standing still talking to someone. She waited for him to end the call. As soon as Asad disconnected the call he turned around to find Zoya standing with his coffee. He took the cup from her and very softly mumbled a thankyou and brushed passed her. She realized all her attempts at talking to him were going in vain. She looked down on the floor dejected and then slowly lifted her head to look at him. She caught him looking at her and as soon as her eyes made contact with his he looked away.

With slow steps she approached him and said "I want to talk to you Asad."

He looked up at her and raised his eyebrows questioning her. She sighed and very nervously added "Alone. Please." He saw her lower lip quiver and the last thing that he wanted was for her to cry. He stood up and saw a faint smile on her lips and then followed her to the terrace. As soon as they reached the terrace Zoya realized it was too hot there and then suggested to go to her room. Without saying anything Asad followed her to her room. He closed the door behind him and Zoya immediately turned around "I'm sorry Asad. Please I'm really sorry for what I said. But try and understand my viewpoint. We cannot afford the kind of lawyers that work for you. You can look for someone for us who is good and will accept the fees that we can offer." She begged him.

Asad looked at her exasperated "I am not doing this for you Zoya. I'm doing it for my Khala and her family."

Zoya looked at him with hurt in her eyes "So now you don't even want to consider the friendship that we have shared for so many months." She said her voice heavy with emotions.

Asad gave her an incredulous look. "Me? I'm not considering the friendship that we have had?" he was almost shouting "Sorry to burst your bubble Zoya but it's you who is doing that." He shot back at her. She realized what he said was true and felt extremely guilty for her actions.

He stared at her hard and turned around to leave. He had barely taken 2 steps away from her when she caught hold of his sleeve to stop him. He refused to turn around so she walked around him and stood infront of him. She raised her hands to hold her ears "Sorry" she said in barely a whisperand tears floating in her eyes. Asad looked at her and tried to walk past her without answering. She took a step to block his way "Sorry" she again said but Asad was too hurt to let go of this issue so soon.

He had spent months building this friendship with her, winning her trust only so she could see the love he had for her, and here she was, still not able to treat him like a true friend, still not able to move past the first few steps of friendship. Asad tried again but Zoya was quick to block his way. Exasperated he sighed audibly "OK, fine. Now please let me go. What will everyone think we are doing alone like this."

Zoya's happiness knew no bounds and she smiled her million dollar smile displaying her dimples, happiness clearly visible in her eyes. "But next time you behave like this Zoya I swear I will never forgive you and never talk to you."

"I won't, I promise" she said and she saw a small smile on his lips. With that Asad left her room. Zoya smiled at his childish behavior and followed him back to the living room.
