Asad's POV
I put my empty coffee mug down and started observing the beauty in front of me. She was goddamn gorgeous. And today she was no less than an Aphrodite. The black sari she was wearing was showing her Oh so perfect curves. She was still enjoying her coffee with closed eyes. She is so innocent, I thought. That's what makes her unique. I didn't know that a woman can influence a man so much that he keeps on thinking about her every second, just like me.
Just then she moved her silky hair to one side of her striking neck. I must say this feminine move of hers always holds m gaze. As I was observing her I noticed that there were two guys in the opposite table of ours. They were checking out her gorgeous back, what I supposed from their gaze. That moment I felt like knocking out their heads of their body but controlled myself to avoid chaos. I agree the she has a gorgeous back that doesn't mean she can flaunt it anywhere.
"Ms. Farooqui, Come and sit here" I ordered, while controlling my rage. Why was I so flustered by the fact that someone was checking her out? Why was I so angry on those two heads? God knows, I answered my own questions.
She silently came and sat beside me. She was pleased when the brownie she ordered came. Her eyes sparkled as she ate it, unknowingly even I started smiling, leaving all the irritation behind. I don't know why just seeing her happy gives warmth to my heart. She finished it in minutes. But due to her clumsy style of eating a piece of the chocolate brownie was still hanging on one corner of her pink lips. I motioned her, but she failed to understand.
I took a tissue and started cleaning the chocolate. I must mention that god has given me a very strong will power, otherwise I would have soon replaced my fingers with my lips, which I so badly wanted to do at that minute. The moment my finger accidently touched her plump lips, I felt I would give up my will power. But the fact that we were in a public place saved my day. After I gained control on myself I slowly removed my hand.
She was also disturbed by my act, her red cheeks told me. I just adore her whenever she blushes. I quickly looked away from her and tried to control myself by staring out of the window. As I turned again to her side, I found her getting up, to leave I supposed.
"Um... Mr. Khan I guess I have to leave now am getting late you see" She said politely. I nodded in approval. The feeling of her not being near me surfaced again. She turned to leave but I held her wrist to stop her.
"Thank you Zoya" I said hinting about the emotional support she gave me near that bench. She nodded understandingly. Don't know how, but she always surprises me by understanding my actions. I shifted myself on the chair and saw her going to the parking lot. She was swinging in the air, must be tired.
What is happening to me? I questioned myself. Her smile makes me happy, her irritation makes me agitated, her beauty makes me passionate, and her sweet fragrance makes my heart go crazy.
Hell! Her everything has influenced my everything.
TRING! TRING!
I heard a phone beeping; I took out mine to notice its blank screen. I stood up in search of the ringing phone. I soon found it under the table. It was Zoya's phone. "Ammi" I read from the caller ID.
"This girl na... Always carless" I muttered while keeping the amount in the bill holder. I walked to the parking lot to reach her before she leaves. But as soon as I entered she left in her car. I quickly rushed to my Audi.
Soon I was back of her car; I thought of overtaking her but cancelled the plan as an idea crossed my mind. What if I follow her? I can even know her address and can also ensure that she reaches home safely. I smiled proudly on my intelligent brain.
Her car suddenly started moving carelessly. I jumped on my seat when I saw how it avoided an accident. "What the hell is wrong with her" I cursed while accelerating my car's speed. She took a right turn into a colony; I almost lost my breath when a big car was about hit her car from the opposite. I hit the steering wheel in frustration. She saved herself from it by turning abruptly, but soon lost control on the car and it went crashing into a tree. I pressed the accelerator and sped up to her place where she hit the tree. Allah! Please keep her fine I kept on praying. I didn't know when I hit the brakes and when I stepped out of the car, all I knew was Zoya was lying limp on the air bag which has saved her from major injury.
I quickly opened the driver seat and lost all my senses when I saw her unconscious with blood oozing out from her head.
"Zoya... Zoya..." I shouted while patting her cheeks. She didn't wake up. I quickly took her hand and checked her pulse. I felt relieved when I felt her pulse against my fingers. I realized that I was holding my breath still that minute. I quickly scooped her into my arms and placed on the backseat of my car.
I quickly ran over the passenger seat and started the car. Keeping the Bluetooth to my ear, I dialed to our family doctor."Dr. Hitch, Its Asad here, and Can you just hurry up to my home as soon as possible"
After I heard him starting his car, I cut the phone. From the mirror I saw how pale Zoya was. The painful look on her face pierced my heart. The blood from her cut was just driving me mad on the thought of losing her. She will be okay Asad, I assured myself.
"AAh" I heard her hissing in pain. She was still unconscious. I sped up to reach my home as soon as possible.
******
"Who is She Asad" Ammi asked me while stroking Zoya's hair. Zoya was still unconscious, Hitch has not yet arrived.
"She is um... Zoya, my friend" I asked was she my friend? No. Then what was she?
"How did all this happen?"
"I don't know Ammi; guess she lost control on her steering wheel." I answered while changing my blood stained shirt.
"What's the matter Mr. Khan?" I heard Hitch from the entrance of the door. He was here with a nurse. I motioned towards a pale looking unconscious Zoya.
"Can you both move out for few minutes" he requested. But I dint want to leave Zoya. Ammi understood my plight and slowly pulled my shoulder. I obediently followed her while giving Zoya a glance.
*****
"It's nothing serious Mr. Khan, she will be fine by tomorrow morning. Looks like she was tired while driving and then lost the control on the car. But her head will ache badly this night ensure that she doesn't wake up soon. I have sedated her but sometime the dose might not be enough. But be sure she rests for this whole night, otherwise tomorrow will be a very hard day for her." Hitch explained me cordially. Thank god she was okay.
"Your love is all safe don't worry" Hitch said while patting my back. Love? When did I say that to him?
"Take care Mr. Khan" with that he left. I turned around to find Ammi standing near my room. She was giving me a questioning glance. So she heard it.
"Ammi... WO Actually..."
"Don't try to put me in black Asad" She said while going to her room. I followed her.
"Ammi it's nothing like that... She is just..."
"Just what Asad... tell me, just a trespasser. I will never be so worried about a trespasser." She continued. "Asad tell me, I am your Ammi" she said while motioning to sit down on the floor. I knelt on the floor and put my head on her lap.
"I don't know Ammi... I seriously don't know what she is for me... But all I know is that I can't see her in pain" I said while remembering her in the car. I closed my eyes as I couldn't even imagine her like that, it was piercing me.
Ammi slowly brushed my hair indicating me to continue. I told her how we met, how she influenced my thoughts and also how she understood me when I needed someone the most.
"I don't know what to name this feeling Ammi, I just met her twice, but never felt that she was stranger. Be it a small gesture she understood me easily. The innocence in her eyes makes me think that she is the best woman in the world. But again I know her only from two meetings that's too professionally"
"You mean to say you want her" I woke up from her lap abruptly to see her face. She was laying some kind of trap for me.
"No Ammi, how can you even think like that?"
"Then what do you want from her beta"
"That's what I don't know Ammi, I Feel like staying with her forever. I feel like having her around me forever. "
"Then it's the L word" She said straightly looking into my eyes. How can it be love? That's hell way not possible.
"No Ammi it can't be love. How can I love someone so different from me? How can I love someone in so short span of time?" She laughed at me. What was so funny? She motioned me again towards her lap. I calmly cuddled.
"You know before I married Rashid I met him only once. Only once Asad! But that once made my heart feel so complete that I immediately said yes to my marriage." She paused while still continuing to brush my hair. "Love doesn't have any time or place Asad, It just happens. It doesn't have a time limit; it's just that most of us don't realize it. I don't know what kind o girl Zoya is, but I know that she surely will be an amazing person because she has taken my son's heart"... "Maybe forever" she added.
I looked at her eyes; they were so loving and understanding. She surely is the best Ammi ever. I woke up from her lap and was about to tell her something, I heard a noise from my room, where Zoya was sleeping.
I swiftly rushed to her room to find Zoya trying to get up but couldn't as she was still half unconscious. She was pressing her wound."AAh... "She was hissing in pain.
"Shhh... Zoya calm down everything is fine."I said while making her comfortable on the bed. She was still closing her eyes, but tears were emerging from her eyes due to heavy pain in her head. I knelt beside the bed and brushed her locks away and started stroking her hair while still continuing to whisper sweet nothings into her ear. I took her hand into mine and assured her that I was there.
She soon drifted back to sleep. I cleaned the tears from her face while kissing her temple. I stood up to go when I felt a tug on my hand; her hand was still clutching mine. The way her hand was into mine made me so happy that soon I smiled at it. I slowly detached her's fro mine and adjusted the blanket. She snuggled soon.
After ensuring that she was asleep even I laid on the couch thinking on whatever Ammi said. Can Zoya be the one whom I want as a perfect life partner? Do I love her? I sighed in frustration as I couldn't answer the question even now.
I turned towards Zoya's side, she was sleeping peacefully. Even though her forehead was covered with bandage, I found her to be as beautiful as the time when I first saw her near an orphanage.
Flashback!
As a habit of visiting orphanage every weekend I visited an orphanage a month ago. I generally go to the admin office pay some good amount of money and comeback after watching few kids. Just like every time that day I paid and headed towards the parking lot. But my feet stopped abruptly when I saw a very young woman, guess in her twenties was praying near the small shelter.
She was extremely beautiful, dressed in white Indian dress she was no less than a goddess. Her face was so calm and pleasant that, it felt so right to stare at her. She was still closing her eyes and was wishing for smoothing. Her lips were continuously moving. Just after that an injured kid came near her crying. She slowly wiped his tears and started aiding him while immersing him In her talks. Her expressions were so funny and cute that even I started smiling. Soon the kid started laughing with her, forgetting about his wound.
She kissed and smiled at the small kid who asked her something. Her smile was so hypnotizing that I soon found my way towards her. She was still talking with the kids and laughing with them. Her dimples were inviting me to touch them.
"Mr. Khan" I heard someone call me. I turned to find my PA calling me. "We are getting late for the meeting with Mr. Dior" I heard him telling me. I gave one last look to the angelic beauty and left the orphanage, thinking that she will surely be remembered forever as a very kind hearted woman who took my breath in first sight itself.
Flashback Ends
Life is surely surprising, who knew that the same woman will be in my room in front of me. I don't know whether I love her or not, but surely she is a very beautiful soul.
May be I do love her?
With the confusion of 'maybe's I soon drifted to sleep with the content of having Zoya around me.
