Hi All,

First I want to apologize for taking this long to update. I was not well and my brain was dead. I couldn't think one straight sentence for almost the whole week, let alone typing. Here's Chapter 13 for my story and this one goes out for my dearest Sis Saima as she proof read and tweaked it a bit. She assured me that the update is good and that's the ONLY reason I am updating today. Thank you Sis and you know you are the best.

Chapter 13

After the alter action with Akram, Asad and Zoya were in no mood to eat. But he still decided to take her to her favorite restaurant. On their way back Asad couldn't help noticing how lost in thought Zoya was, he tried talking to her, to initiate a conversation but all she did was respond in monosyllables.

Asad felt himself fill up with anger towards Akram as because of him Zoya had pushed herself into a shell. All his efforts seemed to have lost as he tried a few more times, in the end he gave up thinking it would be better to let her be.

Dinner was a silent affair with both of them hardly eating anything. Asad was losing his patience, he wanted her to be comfortable with him as she had always been. He wanted to hear her nonstop chattering and her melodious laughter. He wanted to see her eyes widen with joy at something hilarious and then feign anger at him for pulling her leg. He was dying to see his Zoya behave normally around him.

On one hand he was feeling restless desperately wanting his Zoya back, and on the other hand Zoya was thinking how he had always been there for her, helping her when the times were tough and also enjoying the lighter moments that life offered. Unknown to him Zoya was only thinking about him.

Both moved out of the restaurant and started walking towards his car. Once there Asad held her hand and made her turn around but she didn't look at him, she was still deep in her thoughts keeping her gaze lowered. This broke his heart, Asad knew she was still very scared because of what he had said to her at the caf. He took a step closer to her "Zoya please... at least look at me" He said pleading "I know I have said things I shouldn't have... but I wanted to...it was not for you" She looked at him puzzled. "All that I said at the caf was what I was telling myself... It was my fault... I was late... I should have been more careful... what if instead of the caf I had suggested the park... what if something had happened to you, if he had harmed you?"

The pain in his voice made her snap out of her thoughts and she saw the guilt in his eyes. She understood that Asad had taken her silence in the wrong way."It's not your fault Asad" She said taking a step closer to him. He couldn't take it anymore; the guilt was eating him inside out. He pulled her closer and held her hands in his in a tight grip. The intensity with which he looked in her eyes was unbearable. Zoya tried looking away scared she would do something inappropriate but Asad was quick to cup her face and not let her look away. Zoya saw guilt mixed with immense love, guilt because he was not on time and love for her. She wanted to believe in that love but then reminded herself that he loved her only as a friend. She wanted to drown in his eyes. Only she knew how she was keeping her emotions and her actions in check when in such close proximity with him. She wanted to lose control and do as her heart desired. She could feel his warm breath wash over her face and she closed her eyes letting out a sigh that mixed with his breath.

Asad saw her eyes close and as her breath mingled with his he inhaled the most intoxicating fragrance he had ever smelled. His eyes rolled back into his sockets and the next thing he knew was he felt his head tilt forward and then the brush of the softest petals on his lips. He opened his eyes and saw her, her eyes were still closed and she was clutching his collar. He then realized he was kissing her. With no resistance from her he realized she wanted this too and he groaned as the desires that he had been suppressing swelled out of control. He pressed his lips firmly onto hers and without breaking the contact, moved one hand from her cheek to her waist and pulled her against himself letting her know what he wanted and what she did to him. He felt her lips part and a soft moan left her lips, her hands left his collar and travelled the length of his arms once coming back up circling around his neck pulling him closer to deepen the kiss. Asad so desperately wanted to give in to the desires that he knew she also had but realized what was happening and very reluctantly he broke the kiss earning a soft sob from her. He felt Zoya pulling at his collar and he bent down to peck her lips a couple times before putting a safe distance between them.

Both didn't want the moment to end but the realization of what they had just done or rather what they had just shared came crashing down on them. Zoya took a few steps away from him and turned the other way. She took deep breaths to calm her raging heartbeat and to let the color from her burning cheeks reduce. Asad saw her turn away from him and felt a knife pierce through his heart. The moment that they had shared had been the most beautiful moment of his life, but Zoya's reaction to their first kiss was different. Rather than look in his eyes with love and acknowledge what they had just shared she turned around not even wanting to look at him. Asad felt it was high time he let her know how he truly felt for her.

Where Asad was happy to have his first kiss with her Zoya was scared to lose the friend she had in him. Thinking that he could never be hers a lone tear escaped her eyes. Zoya so wanted to turn around and burry herself in his arms and relish the feel of his warm lips against hers again. It was not just a kiss but it was what she truly felt for him. It was her first kiss with the man she loved so much. Asad moved closer to her and gently put his hand on her shoulder. Zoya turned around and looked in his eyes and what she saw stunned her. There was love, pure love that she saw. Asad moved closer to her and cupped her face again "Zoya please stop shutting me out... I can't bear to see you so distant... I know this maybe not what you want or how you wanted things to be. I understand you consider me just a friend but for me you have always been more" Zoya was shocked at this revelations and Asad completely understood. "The day we met at the caf for the first time... I had seen you prior to that too." Her eyes widened hearing what he just said. "I had seen you just a few minutes ago at a stall eating gol gappas..." he smiled remembering her expressions. "Zoya I have never felt like this before... The way I feel for you. I have always stayed away from love because of what happened to Ammi... I couldn't let anything like that happen to myself. I was the only support Ammi and Najma had and if I too lost my love like Ammi, I don't think I would have survived" Zoya's eyes softened hearing what he said. She felt scared just by the thought of something happening to him. She placed her hands on his trying to hold him closer as if he would really go away.

"I saw you at that stall and I had lost my heart... to you" He whispered the last part looking deep in her eyes. Zoya felt her heart hammering inside her chest and thought "Is he really saying things I so wanted to hear from him?" "Zoya I don't know what you feel for me but the day I saw you, I knew I wanted you as a part of my life, to share my sorrows with, to share my happiness with, to be a part of my success and failures, to be my strength when the times were tough and be the person I could spend peaceful days with." Asad pulled her closer to himself and gently held her hands "Zoya I Love You... Please be mine. I am nothing without you" Saying that he hung his head scared at what her eyes would hold for him. He wanted to hold her in his arms and inhale her minty fragrance to calm his heart which was beating like a drum and he knew she could hear it.

Before Zoya could completely process what he had just said, Asad's phone rang. He reluctantly stepped away from her and fumbled in his pockets for his phone. He saw it was the lawyer.

"Yes Mr. Reddy" Asad listened intently for a couple of minutes "OK I will see you at the Farookhi's in around half hour. He then disconnecting the call and looked at Zoya.

"We have to leave immediately..."

"Is everything ok Asad?"

"Yes, just that Mr. Reddy has a few points he wants to discuss with Jiju and me immediately. He's found some information that can lead this to be an open and shut case" He told her smiling a little.

Listening to this new information Zoya's happiness knew no bounds and she immediately hugged him thanking him for everything. It took Asad by surprise that even after whatever he had just confessed to she still hugged him without any inhibitions. This brought a smile to his face and he too wound his arms around her waist pulling her closer. Zoya realized what she had done and felt shy but quickly moved away from him. This action didn't go unnoticed by him and he suddenly felt hollow. He had never wanted this to happen to the two of them. Never had he wanted them to feel awkward in the presence of the other. He had always wanted them to be together but Zoya's actions were telling him a different story.

The drive back to the Farookhi's was not as quiet as they discussed a few details about the case. Asad was relieved that at least Zoya was not avoiding him or ignoring him after his confession. He had been scared that she would not behave normally with him anymore. Zoya saw the change of emotions on his face and immediately knew it was because of his confession. She smiled to herself and decided to tell him what she felt for him.

"Asad"

"Hmm"

"I want to..."

Asad was too distracted to listen to her as they had just pulled into the driveway to her house and he saw Mr. Reddy already waiting for him. He cut her mid sentence.

"Oh. Mr. Reddys already here." He said and looked at her. "Can we please talk later Zoya?" he asked her with such pleading eyes that she just giggled at his expression and nodded her head in agreement.

As they entered the house and all settled in the living room Mr. Reddy took out a disc and asked for a disc player to be connected to the television. As Anwar arranged everything Mr. Reddy handed him the disc and asked him to play it. Anwar, Zeenat, Zoya, Asad and Mr. Reddy watched the television with eyes wide open. By the end of it there was a smile on the faces of all of them. Zoya and Zeenat got up and clapped their hands with excitement and both hugged Anwar with tears of joy rolling down their cheeks. Seeing this Asad couldn't help smiling at them but he was suddenly pulled out the house by Mr. Reddy.

"Mr. Khan. This is actually an edited version... There is more that we have on the original disc but it will bring Ms. Farooqui's name in between... so without your permission I have already tweaked the recording so she doesn't know."

"But is that not against the laws?" he asked.

"That should not be an issue as we have only removed the bit where he mentions Ms. Farooqui's name in a very inappropriate manner"

Hearing that, Asad wanted to punch the daylights out of Akram. He took deep breaths to calm his anger and then smiled at his lawyer and nodded his head for approval.

"2 more days Akram and you will be out of our lives for good" Asad mumbled to himself and walked back in to see Anwar, Zeenat and Zoya still standing in a family hug. Anwar motioned for him to join them. Asad was more than happy to be a part of this family. He walked towards them his eyes fixed on Zoya and her smiling back at him.
