The journey back to KV from holi party was filled with silence. Asad is fuming with anger after seeing rashid in party. Unnaturally zoya was also silent. Zoya has not received any information about her abbu & she hardly has 10 days in India. She tried calling that photo frame guy. But his phone was switched off. May be since it's holi he might be busy with with his family. Tomorrow morning itself she has to go & meet him. She don't have time to waste in India.
In KV
Every one was surprised to see a handsome gentleman waiting in the porch of KV. Before any one could realise zoya ran in to the arms of the gentleman.
Asad clutched his fist due to anger. Already he is upset because of rashid & now zoya is in arms some other man.
Zoya turned towards every one.
Zoya: Allah Miya! What's wrong with me? After seeing farhaan I got so excited & I forgot to introduce. He is my childhood friend. He is our neighbour in New York. Also he is my senior in college. When I joined york university for Bsc computer science he was doing his first year MBA there.
Dilshad: ok beta. Come inside. Why are you standing here?
Dilshad greeted him & she asked najma to get coffee for every one. Every one settled in the hall. Asad was not interested in this guy. Farhaan's closeness to zoya was making him irritated. On top of that zoya sat next to farhaan in the sofa. Asad had an urge to push farhaan. But he controlled.
Dilshad: beta you know zoya & her family for a long time right? What are you doing beta?
Farhaan: aunty ji! I am working as a business analysis for a MNC company in New York. I came to Bhopal for a business meeting. I will return in ten days.
Zoya: Allah Miya! Even my visa expires in ten days. So we can return together.
Farhaan: ha Zoe I am missing you for past 2 months.
Zoya smiled. Asad was restless. Zoya's visa is expiring. Also she is planning to leave with this idiot.
Dilshad: beta where are you staying?
Farhaan: aunty ji! I will take a room in a hotel.
Dilshad: no beta you can stay here.
Zoya: I don't think mr.khan will like it phupi. For him me & some one related to me are mannerless.
Asad stared at her.
Asad: ms.farooqui! When did I say that?
Zoya: there is no need to say. Your actions implies it mr.khan. For you if some one who lives abroad, who were jeans, who is Indepentant is mannerless. For you only people were salwarsuits are decent people.
Farhaan: Zoe
Dilshad: don't get scared beta. It's usual in our house. Ignore it. I am the elder person of this family. So it's my desicion you are staying here.
Asad was frustrated. Already he didn't like farhaan being close with zoya. Now ammi made him to stay here for next 10 days. How is he going to handle farhaan & zoya under one frame? Wait! What's wrong with him? If zoya is close to farhaan why it's affecting him? After all they are childhood friends. Is it because farhaan's cool & carefree attitude? He knows farhaan is similar to zoya. Is he getting jealous? No way why AAK should get jealous if some one is close to zoya farooqui? He brushed away his thoughts. He went to his room.
Dinner time.
Every one gathered in the dining area. Asad was surprised when zoya sat next to farhaan. Usually zoya sits next to him.
Zoya: farhaan I have made your favourite chicken pasta.
Farhaan: Zoe you know how I missed your food?
Zoya served him pasta. Asad was furious. Zoya used to set only for him. But now she is concentrating on this farhaan.
Farhaan: you know aunty ji when we were in college zoya always used to make tiffin for me. Pastas, pizzas, sand witches, omelettes,pancakes.
Zoya: ha phupi I studied all this only for him.
Asad's thoughts: only for him? So who is he to her?
Farhaan, zoya & najma engaged in the chats. Where as asad was lost in his thoughts. Tanveer was revealed after seeing farhaan. She knows asad loves zoya. But now this farhaan will help her to come to close to asad.
Dilshad was noticing asad's restlessness. She wondered what could it be the reason? Is it because of farhaan? But farhaan seems to be a good guy. Some one like zoya.
After dinner
Farhaan was tired due to his long journey. So he went to sleep early. Tanveer was also tired Since she is in her first trimester of pregnancy. She too returned to the bed. Dilshad was cleaning kitchen. Asad was in the hall reading a book. Zoya was helping najma with her project. They were sitting opposite to asad.
Najma: zoya your BFF is extremely handsome.
Zoya giggled. Where as asad stared at her.
Najma: I think he likes you zoya. The way he stares at you I am sure he has some thing more than friendship. Did he really came for a meeting or is he planning to propose you.
Zoya: tamater. Farhaan has a meeting here. It's true. About his soft corner towards me I am not sure. If he proposes also I think I should accept.
Asad was astonished.
Zoya: it's not that I am in love with him. I know him from a young age. He is some one like a guy whom I want. So carefree & friendly. Not like some one who is Akdu & reserved.
Zoya stared at asad. This was more than asad could bare. He went from there angrily. He was pacing in his room.
After sometime he was sure that he should meet zoya.
Asad went to zoya's room. He knocked the door.
Zoya was browsing net. She curse the person who came to her room at this time. Zoya was shocked to see asad at her door steps.
Zoya: Allah Miya! What's wrong with you mr.khan? You lecture about tameez & tahezeeb, you are coming in to a girls room at this hour? You are so mannerless?
Asad: it's enough ms.farooqui. What's going on here. What you & farhaan are doing.
Zoya: FYI he is my childhood friend. It's not only you who can have a childhood friend & be close with that person. I don't have to give any explanation to you. You are not my guardian. Understood?
Asad: ms.farooqui you are staying in my house. So I have all rights. I don't feel like that farhaan is a good guy.
Zoya: mr.khan not a word about my friend. If I say some thing about your tanu you also won't like it. And waise all that matters is about attitude. According to your attitude a person like tanveer only is good. Because she talks sweetly & were traditional cloths. But I don't judge a person according to there cloths. Farhaan may be carefree & friendly but he is not a bad person. Now please let me sleep. Good night.
Zoya closed the door. Asad was shocked to see zoya's changed attitude towards him.
Note: I have seen in QH asad declaring zoya as misfit & zoya's heartbreak due to asad's closeness to tanveer. So I thought why not to have a change? If asad can declare zoya as a misfit because she is modern girl, then why can't zoya say some one who is friendly to be perfect for her?
