Finally I'm back! And here with the comments for Part 4...

"La, la, lalalalala," Asad began doing the stupid jiggle that Zoya had kept as the password of her iPad. The driver scoffed, and Asad cringed, but he was grateful that the driver didn't ask anything. Asad scrolled through her iPad aimlessly, looking through her camera roll. He smiled, looking at all the photos she had taken with his mother and sister, grinning away. And that's when he noticed that there were hardly any photos of him, just a few she had taken while he was unaware. That made him smile even more. So she was sneakily taking photos of him, huh?

HAHAHAHAHA... OMG... Did Asad really do that? 🤣🤣 I can so imagine the driver's expression to this! 🤣

Hell with you Tanveer! 😡

"Delhi mein?! Maine taxi ko isliye call kiya tha taake tumhe airport bhi jaana na pade, par tum toh Delhi hi chale gaye," Tanveer blurted out, her rage clouding her sensibilities. Within seconds, she found herself squeezing her eyes shut, realizing her mistake.

"Kya?! You were the one who called for the cab to pick Zoya up from the house?" Asad demanded to know, his voice heavy with disbelief. Snatches of his conversation with Zoya about who called the cab earlier began to sketch out in his brain.

"Nahi toh! Why would I? I said ZOYA ne taxi ko call kiya tha, so that you don't need to go to the airport..." Tanveer tried to explain herself, putting on as much fake concern as she could, as she bit her lower lip in worry.

Zoya called the cab? But she seemed confused about the cab herself. Besides, even if Zoya did call the cab, why did Tanveer know all about it? It made no sense for Zoya to inform Tanveer about calling a cab; it was a rather trivial matter to discuss. Asad was about to verbalize all his thoughts, when the can came to a sudden halt.

Finally she blurted out! 😆 Now to Mr. Dumb Ahmed Khan, It's high time you use your brains!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! 🤣 I loved the conversation between Asad and Zoya in the international airport. 😆

"Phone bhi kar sakte the alright. Aise peeche aane ki zaroorat nahi thi," Zoya argued stubbornly, as she crossed her arms across her chest and glared at him. He made no attempt to pass her the iPad, choosing instead to hug it to his chest instead.

"Yes you're right, I should've called you. Because after informing you on the phone, your iPad would've magically zipped through the phone line and come back to you anyway," Asad commented sarcastically, batting his eyelashes.

Wow! Sarcastic Asad? 😲 😉

"Not so fast Miss Farooqui. Woh kya hai na... while I was travelling here... I uh, woh actually, I happened to browse through your iPad. And um, saw all your photos, with Ammi and Najma..." Asad took a shot in the dark, and he noticed Zoya raise her eyebrow in amusement.

"Happened to...? Uh Mr Khan, mere password itna elaborate hai ke happened to ka sawaal hi nahi uttha. Khair, what's your point?" Zoya pointed out casually, biting the inside of her cheek to suppress her giggle as she watched Asad's face turn red in embarrassment.

"Uh, mera bhi photos hai ismein..." Asad continued, unsure about where the conversation was headed to either. But a small sense of victory began to arise when he noticed Zoya's face pale at his statement. Oh yes, he was well-aware that she was taking photos of him without asking.

"Yes, woh main camera test kar rahi thi bas. If it bothers you so much, I'll delete them," Zoya clarified, as she tried to reach for the iPad again. Asad continued holding it out of her reach, shaking his head slowly.

"Nahi woh... aapne mere... mere, uh, mere saath photo kyun nahi liya?" Asad finally managed to formulate a proper sentence, despite it being one of the stupidest things he'd come up with on the spot. He looked away immediately after taking in the wide-eyed reaction that Zoya gave him.

ROFL! 🤣

Ya Allah! Kill this man seriously! Please use your words wisely Mr. Khan! 😳 You need to confess your love to her! 😆

Continue soon... You've got more than your specified number of likes and comments, so UPDATE!

Love and hugs, ❤️ 🤗

Mrina

New story, accha... dekhte hain what new dhamaka you will give us with this one. Looking forward, very forward. You know why nah... ;)

Shuru karen?

Part 1

Well, this would work splendidly! (What is she planning to do?)

He shook his head sharply and looked away again (Wrong answer...very wrong answer!)

"Nahi jaana? Toh yeh sab drama kyun kiya? (Ya Allah, aap kabhi nahin shudrenge nah...)

"Heads," Asad whispered into the quiet room (Oh yes, that moment...)

"That's tails Jammy," Tanveer blurted out (Can somebody throws this girl out of the house and give her an one way ticket to nowhere's land?!)

If he so badly wanted to send her to the airport, why'd he call the cab in the first place? He could've just as easily sent her in his own car (LOL, so true!!!)

Good riddance Zoya! (Good riddance Tanveer, yes...)

Oh Greenie! What a lovely first part. It reminded me of those golden QH days and those AsYa moments I loved. The whole scene kept playing in my mind while reading this part.

You have already put your own flavor to it by making Asad go to the airport with Zoya. She asked him several times but no, the stubborn and confused man he is, refuses to say anything. Urgh!!!

Okay so what is in store for us? Chalo, second part is not a secret for me since I had already read that one (could not resist...take that as a compliment!) Will give my next comment soon. Oh and yes, will not read part 3 okay ;)

Thank you so much! 😳

Haha yes, I loved the coin-flipping scene, one of the most hilarious scenes ever shot :p Tsk tsk, you went against your own principles and read part 2 HAHA. Chalo nevermind, maaf kiya iss baar :p Glad you liked it (:

And there am I am again...With some new energy and fun.

Here we go, full speed!!!

Part 2

"No," Asad snapped (Urgh! Somebody hit this man in the face! LOL) 😡😆

"Zoya!" Asad yelled (Oh how I miss that ZOYA!!!)

Main margaya tha kya? (Khuda na kare, don't talk like that)

Do you want to say something before I go in? (This has to be the 10th time she is asking him aur phir bhi, he does not say anything)

breathing in deeply as she took in his scent... for the last time (Oh the hug and the oh so lovely scent of his...) 😳

Zoya Farooqui was leaving his house, his life, and him, for good (Stop that girl, right here right now!)

This Mr. I-will-take-forever-long Ahmed Khan bhi nah! Zoya has asked him so so so many times, lekin nahin...as if his lips are glued together. Uff!!! So she is there at the airport, all checked in and he is still standing on the same spot. Can this guy please run full speed after her and confess his feelings right there! Okay chalo, at least ask her to stay...

One like and comment from me. Can you please update now?

Oh look, the next chapter is already there. This time I did not read it, so I might be in for a surprise?

Thank you Green!

Hahahaha people use lip balm on their lips, Asad uses glue (: Okay great, you didn't read part 3 beforehand hahaha. So proud of you!! :p Yes I'm updating soon (:

Dear Goingreen ji,

I, one of your ardent fans of your writings , would like to put forward a request that if you don't update fast, our zoya will fly off to new york 😭 and the cat will prey on our poor asad 😡 who'll be completely clueless as to how that happened! ❓ And then we all will be heartbroken and will declare national mourning 😭 😆 so please do update soon...! 😉

Yours truly,

Aashka

Hahahaha Aashka! Don't worry, I hate the cat just as much as you guys do, aisa kuch bhi nahi hoga. Updating soon (:

yeah I agrree ...

I guess Gul had lost her mind ...

lets wait for some change ...

As KSG is the New producer ... we may expect some change...

I'm very disappointed too... what a horrific end for the characters I'd grown to love so much. Even a car accident would've been easier to watch than all the gruesome stabbing my eyes were tortured with. AsYa have been ruined forever.

Hey Goingreen ji...!

Is everything alright on your side since you haven't been much active on the forum...? We miss you and your updates a lot so please do update soon...!

Oh I'm okay (: Shall explain in a note in my next update, coming right up (:

Hello my lovelies!

First of all, I apologize for not only delaying the update, but also for going completely MIA and not even informing you guys about it. I don't really have an explanation for my behaviour, except for what's already written at the bottom of my every post:

What happened you ask? Life.

Lots of crazy stuff's been happening, and despite the fact that I could've come here and just told you guys, I chose not to and I apologize for that. Anyway, enough bak bak, here's the next update:

Something Anything: Part 5

"Aapko... aapko mere saath photo lena hai? Theek hai, I mean, sure. Abhi le lete hai, laayiye," Zoya replied after a momentary pause, too taken aback to even come up with a snarky response. Asad finally relaxed, allowing his arm to lower and pass the iPad to Zoya. Zoya flipped open the cover and fiddled with the lock screen, before looking for the camera tool.

"How did you manage to unlock it with doing that ridiculous dance?" Asad asked incredulously, as Zoya started changing the settings to flip it to the front camera. A small smile grew on Zoya's face, the slightest hint of her dimple beginning to form.

"Obviously I've kept another secret but more normal way of unlocking the iPad, for the purposes of unlocking it in public. I'm not crazy enough to be okay with looking like a fool in public," Zoya grinned, making Asad groan as he thought about how stupid he must've looked in the cab.

"Now don't ask me how I keep the option of setting double passwords. You've got to be as intelligent as me to understand that. For now, woh sab chodiye, aur idhar aayiye. Let's take a selfie!" Zoya taunted backhandedly, before telling him to come close as she held her iPad up in front of her with both her hands. He stood next to her awkwardly, staring at the screen which was showing both their faces enlarged, along with some random head in between them because of a man standing at a distance behind them.

"Closer!" Zoya ordered, irritated that the composition of the photo was being ruined by that man. Asad complied easily, pressing his chin against her cheekbone and closing the gap between them. The man behind them moved a little, his head sticking out from on top of Zoya's head this time. She clicked her tongue in annoyance, and Asad moved quickly, changing his position to behind her.

"Oh," Zoya sighed softly, as Asad cautiously slid his arms around her waist from behind her, before pressing his body against hers. He proceeded to rest his chin against her temple, deliberately adjusting his head slowly and grazing her skin with his stubble. Zoya swallowed nervously, before hitting the camera button and capturing the shot, with both of them staring directly at the camera in a stony manner.

"Another one," Asad insisted, as Zoya began to lower her arms. She raised the iPad up again, unable to keep herself from shaking as she captured another shot. She could feel his heart drumming a pattern into her back, while her own felt like it was going to jump out of her body.

"That one was blurred because you shook Miss Farooqui. Another one," Asad insisted again, and Zoya tried her best to keep steady as she captured another picture. She pressed the capture button a few more times, realizing that each shot was getting more and more shaky.

Suddenly, Asad's arms left her waist, and Zoya felt her system flood with disappointment. But next thing she knew, his arms were trailing down her own, and his hands clasped hers and held the iPad up properly. Zoya turned to look up at him, and Asad captured a shot right at that moment.

"Stop staring at me Miss Farooqui. Look at the camera and smile," Asad suggested, making the now highly flustered Zoya turn back quickly. She smiled nervously, as Asad's lips tugged into the tiniest smile, and they finally captured a good, smiley shot.

"Selfie isse kehte hai Miss Farooqui," Asad whispered into her ear, tilting his head so that his lips would brush the shell of her ear on purpose. He hit the capture shot at that point as well, brilliantly capturing the slight blush that was beginning to grow on Zoya's face.

"Bas, okay I have to go now. Aapko aur kuch karna hai? I mean kehna hai? I mean do you have something to say?" Zoya began to ramble, as she tried to pull herself out of his arms, hugging the iPad to her chest. She stared intently at Asad for a moment, as he took his own sweet time to move his arms away, his body still pressed against hers. Suddenly, she felt something vibrate against her hip, and she stepped away from Asad quickly, gasping.

"Relax, mera phone hai," Asad clarified, rolling his eyes at her. She clutched her chest, calming her heartbeats, as she watched Asad fish his phone out of his pocket. He stared at the screen briefly, before picking it up urgently.

"Hello Prasad? Yes, tell me," Asad began to discuss with his assistant, much to Zoya's chagrin. She was leaving and still here he was, prioritizing his work?! She huffed out loud, and spun on her heels, deciding to just walk away. But before she could even take a step, Asad grabbed her elbow and stopped her. She turned back to glare at him, but all he did was look at her pleadingly, signalling to her to give him a minute.

"Thanks Prasad, thanks a lot," Asad said gratefully, a slight look of worry on his face as he put the phone down. Zoya looked at him earnestly, tapping her foot on the ground as she feigned impatience.

"Miss Farooqui, give me a second yeah, I need to sort out something important," Asad explained, as he scrolled through his phone urgently. Zoya grit her teeth in frustration, as she watched Asad dial a number and press the phone against his ear.

"Hello Tanu? Sorry for cutting you off earlier. Kya keh rehi thi tum?" Asad said into the phone as soon as it connected. Zoya gaped in disbelief. He was seriously making her wait just so he could resume a conversation with that annoying little Tanveer?! She spun on her heels again, storming off as quickly as she could, leaving Asad no opportunity to stop her in time.

"Zoya wait please!" Zoya heard Asad's voice in the background, but ignored him completely, breaking into a slight jog as she made her way to the entrance. Her vision blurred up, as sheen of tears began to form in her eyes.

Zoya stopped at the entrance, quickly flipping the flap of her backpack open as she stuffed her hand inside and looked for her passport and ticket. She pulled it out and was about to pass it to the the officer at the door when Asad pulled her arm away, in the process pulling her away as well.

"Got it? Great then, goodbye," Asad told Tanveer over the phone, as he held Zoya in an iron grip. He disconnected the call and finally gave her his attention, loosening his grip slightly. Zoya looked somewhere over his shoulder on purpose, hoping he understood that she was no longer interested in anything he had to say.

"Toh main kya keh raha tha?" Asad asked awkwardly, and Zoya hissed at him in irritation. She pulled her arm entirely out his grip, shuffling her passport and ticket in her hands as she bit her lower lip, controlling the tears from falling out of her eyes.

"Kuch bhi nahi. You weren't saying ANYTHING, at least not to me. Jo bhi baat karni thi, mujhe lagta hai aap Tanu darling se kar chuke. Goodbye Mr Khan," Zoya said with finality this time, passing her passport and ticket to the officer before Asad could stop her again. Thanking the officer, she took her passport and ticket back, marching into the airport confidently, using all of her willpower not to look back.

XXX

Okay that's the end.

Okay just kidding haha.

As a way to make amends for my strange behaviour, I will not make demands for likes and comments this time (:

But of course I'll still be happier with a larger amount of them hahaha.
