Chapter 20

The following morning Zeenat and Dilshaad met to plan for the engagement. They had managed to agree on a day for the coming weekend. With limited time they decided to take Zoya and Asad out on a shopping trip so they could select their outfits, and then later to let them venture out alone to pick their respective rings.

Zeenat came home full of enthusiasm Zeenat as she entered the door she saw Zoya lounging on the couch, yet again. Devilishly she smiled at herself before she called out in a loud voice "Come Asad come inside, meet Zoya before you leave..."

As soon as Zoya heard his name she shot up and ran, she was almost at the stairs when Zeenat's laughter stopped her in her tracks. Zoya turned around and saw Zeenat holding her stomach and almost doubled over with laughter. She looked around and realized what Zeenat had done. Huffing she ran up to Zeenat and stood with her hands on her hips and tapping her foot on the floor she waited for her to stop laughing but when Zeenat saw the expression on Zoya's face she laughed out even louder and tried to talk at the same time "Sorry, sorry, couldn't help...you were so relaxed...and last evening..." But before she could complete her sentence she started laughing again.

"Aapi!!!!! not fair." Zoya said crossing her arms across her chest and pouting. Looking at her Zeenat giggled some more.

"Zoya, I couldn't help it, you were so engrossed in the TV, I just had to see how you reacted yesterday. Dilshaad told me that you ran so fast, I couldn't control the urge to see your reaction. Sorry". She said this time really trying to hold her laughter in.

Zoya looked at her wide eyed not believing her Aapi could pull a stunt like that. But seeing Zeenat laugh so much she finally gave in too and both the sisters laughed clutching their stomachs for a long time. Zeenat told Zoya about the plans they had made for shopping the next day and saw her blush. She lovingly caressed her head and walked off to her room telling her to be ready in time as they hardly had any at hand for the preparations and couldn't afford to waste any.

Dilshaad had called Asad at work and informed him that the engagement has been set for the coming weekend and he was to accompany the ladies for their dress selection. Asad smiled into the phone and thanked his Ammi. "You don't need to thank me Asad, as much as you want to get married to HER, I want her to be a part of our family too" After a pause and with naughtiness in her voice she continued "Vaise bhi, patanahi tum apna irada kab badaldo, itni mushkil se toh haan kaha hai, I don't want you to have time to change your mind" Both laughed at her joke and then disconnected the phone.

Not wasting a minute Asad dialed her number wanting to confirm that she was coming too.

"Hi" he heard her as soon as she picked the call.

"Hi would be Wifey." He almost sang into the phone and heard Zoya giggle at the other end.

"So what makes you call your would be wifey." Asad smiled wide at her words.

"Why? Do I need to have a reason to call my would be Wifey, can't I call just like that?"

"Of course you can. But am sure a call in the middle of the day, when you generally are engrossed in your files and meetings has to have a valid reason. It is that time of the day Mr. Khan when you forget all about the outside world, including me and are concentrating only on numbers and figures, files and contracts, contractors and deadlines" She said in a light mood.

Asad laughed at her statement and then praised her for knowing him so well. "Now tell me the reason behind this call" She asked again.

"Umm... Zoya Ammi told me we are to go for the dress selection tomorrow, so wanted to confirm you know and that you are coming."

"Yes, I know, Aapi told me already and yes am coming" He smiled and then continued "Ok, then will see you tomorrow" He was just about to disconnect when he heard her almost scream into the phone. He immediately put the phone back on his ear and heard her shouting at him "That's all, that's all that you called for?" she asked him, shocked. He didn't know what she expected from him and replied in the affirmative with a simple "Yes". She gasped and repeated her question "That's it?" "Yes Zoya. Did you expect something more? You said for yourself that this time of the day I am extremely busy, so what else?"

She huffed in annoyance "Nothing, nothing at all Mr. Khan. Why should I expect anything from you?" She said sadly. Asad didn't understand the sudden change in her mood and sighed wanting to understand what just happened. "Zoya, until you tell me what happened, how am I supposed to know, please tell me what makes you so sad. Why the sudden change in your mood?"

She stayed quiet for a few seconds before she spoke "You didn't say it... Does your work do this to you all the time? Do you get so disconnected always?"

Asad knotted his brows in confusion not understanding what he didn't say that bothered her. He knew people got upset with words spoken, not the other way round. "What did I "NOT" say that upset you?" He asked her in a serious tone emphasizing on the not.

Zoya knew he would not understand, he always was clear in putting his point across, so playing the guessing game was not a good option with him, she sighed, then felt embarrassed to be sounding so childish "You... you didn't say it... I mean before disconnecting the call...you didn't say you... You love me. I am now used to hearing it" She finished in a whisper, telling him what she wanted to hear. Asad smiled and felt his heart swell with love for her. He was happy to learn that these three little words meant so much to her. "I Love You Jaan, more that I can ever express." He said softly.

Her happiness knew no bounds hearing his confession and in a whisper she answered him "I Love You too, more than life itself." Both didn't say another word, just relished the silence between them. After a few minutes Asad heard a knock at his door. Looking up hen saw Prasaad popping his head in. He told Zoya he would call her later and the two disconnected the call.

Dilshaad and Zeenat along with Najma, Zoya and Asad met at the mall they had decided and so began a day like no other. On one hand where the ladies enjoyed themselves to the fullest going in and out of shops without a break, on the other hand it was becoming difficult for Asad to understand how someone can go to a hundred shops to select one dress. Where he had already selected his sherwani, which was off white in color with beautiful maroon embroidery around the collar and all over the front, the ladies were still to decide what they wanted. Where Zoya wanted to pick something in his favorite color, Zeenat and Dilshaad kept arguing about what color would suit her. Finally she stopped saying anything and just looked dejectedly at the two of them. Getting no response from her they looked at her confused and saw her sitting quietly. Zeenat looked at Dilshaad and then spoke "Zoya, are you not happy with what we are selecting?"

"No Aapi, it's not that. It's just that...that... I want... I want something in... I don't want that color." She said looking down feeling embarrassed. Zeenat looked at her and then asked her "O.K. we will buy the color you want but don't look so sad, now tell me what color do you want to buy?" feeling as nervous as the first day she met Asad, Zoya answered very softly "Red, I want red." As soon as he heard her choice of color his eyes locked with hers. Asad smiled at her understanding why she wanted that color. The exchange didn't go unnoticed by the rest and they all tried to hide their smiles not wanting to embarrass them in the shop. Dilshaad cleared her throat to get their attention, which she did, and then the salesman was told to show them every dress available in red.

Stealing glances at him, slyly asking him for his approval Zoya kept picking dress after dress looking at him for his approval. Every dress she picked, from the corner of her eyes she would look in his direction to see his reaction. She was getting tired as dress after dress he kept scrunching his nose in distaste. She saw him get up and go to the other side of the shop. He pulled out a dress from the display racks and walked back with it. He handed it to Dilshaad and sat down in his place again. As soon as the salesman laid the dress in front of the ladies they all gasped seeing what Asad had brought.

In front of them lay an off white lehnga with red thread and sequence work all over, studded with Swarovski. The dupatta was a deep red with the same embroidery in off white silk thread and Swarovski work on it. It was nothing like Zoya had imagined he would like. As soon as she saw it her face glowed with happiness. She ran her hands over it feeling the silky material. She looked at him and he smiled at her. She immediately asked for it to be packed.

Finally the ladies were done with their shopping which included matching footwear and accessories too. Asad was relieved that their shopping spree had finally come to an end and he could sit and give his tired legs some rest. They decided to go for a late lunch and so all entered the Chinese restaurant Najma suggested. Asad so desperately wanted to sit next to her, to be as close as he could, but Najma beat him to it. As soon as Zoya took a seat Najma sat next to her, Asad was left with no other option but to take the seat in the other corner. He tried telling her to sit with him but couldn't as Dilshaad and Zeenat were there too and he didn't want to sound like a love struck teenager. Sighing he looked at her and only then did she realize what had happened and looked at him helplessly.

Since the time she had said yes, they had not got a single minute to themselves. He looked at her longingly which she noticed and smiled at him uncertainly. She too wanted to spend some time with him alone but the current circumstances didn't allow it. Their small moment was broken when the waiter arrived with the menu cards and they all got busy ordering their food. The lunch was noisy with Dilshaad and Zeenat talking constantly about what all they had to do and the preparations that needed to be done. All throughout lunch Asad and Zoya kept stealing glances engrossed in a conversation of their own. There was nothing he wanted more than to just hold her hand at this very moment.

As soon as lunch was over Najma went to the washroom and finding that to be the best opportunity Zoya changed her place and came and sat next to him. As soon as she settled Asad grabbed her hand beneath the table squeezing it tight. With that one hold, Zoya felt goose bumps all over her body, she looked at him and saw his dazzling smile which had been missing for quite some time. She smiled back at him and then felt him caressing the back of her hand with his finger. She looked at him and he repeated what he just did. Only then did Zoya realize what he was doing. She concentrated and felt him writing letter after letter. She nodded after every letter to let him know she understood.

He started with a T and then wrote H, he then wrote an A followed by N, next he wrote K and finally he ended with a U. She looked at him confused and he whispered "For everything" Zoya smiled at him and did the same as he had done. He felt her finger caress his palm and she wrote an I LOVE U on his palm and he immediately held her hand tightly. She couldn't look up at him as this little exchange had left her cheeks burning hot and she knew what she would see in his eyes. Asad too didn't want to look in her eyes at this point as he knew it was becoming difficult for him to hold back. Since last evening at her place he had wanted to hold her in his arms trying to believe that this girl, whom he had fallen in love with at first sight, six months ago, was now going to be his wife.

Dilshaad and Zeenat bid each other farewell and they all headed towards their cars. Asad dropped Dilshaad and Najma home and went straight to his office as he had to read through a file. He was busy with his file when he received her text. He looked at his watch and saw it was quarter past seven. He read her message "Where are you?" and smiled. Instead of texting he called her.

"Hey, I am at office. Had a file to read and since it was just 5 when I dropped Ammi and Tamatar home I decided to come to the office"

"Hmmm ok" She said sounding a little preoccupied. Asad heard some noise in the background which told him she was not at home.

"Where are you Zoya?" he asked her which she didn't reply to. "Zoya?" he asked again and heard shuffling sounds which made him anxious. He called her name again and got no response. He pulled the phone away from his ear to check if the call was still connected and it was. "Zoya" he said in a worried voice and heard her huffing "Zoya? Where are you?" and just then the door to his cabin opened and his eyes widened with shock.

As soon as Asad saw who was at the door he got up immediately and in three long strides reached her and wrapped his arms around her pulling her flush against himself. "Zoya. You ok? You scared the hell out of me" He held her as close to himself as he could. Zoya smiled and wrapped her arms around him. They stood there like that for a while. When he pulled back a little and looked in her eyes and said "I missed you."

She smiled and answered "But we were together all day Asad."

"That was not together, where I couldn't even hold your hand properly." He nuzzled her hair and whispered "This is together, where I can hold you in my arms, close to myself" Asad took in a deep breath letting her fruity fragrance engulf him. Zoya felt butterflies in her stomach at what he said and more importantly how he said things to her. She felt her cheeks burning and buried her face deeper into his chest. They held onto each other for a long time enjoying the proximity they now shared.

Asad moved away a little and nudged her chin up. As she looked up into his eyes Zoya saw his eyes so full of passion that she couldn't hold his gaze and looked away feeling extremely shy. Asad held her face between his palms and she noticed him looking at her lips and then back in her eyes. She saw him bending forward and in the softest of touches, he placed his lips over hers. They shared a soft kiss and then hugged each other as tight as possible. As they let go of each other Asad held her hand and guided her to the couch in his cabin. They spent the evening together sipping coffee and talking, just like they did when she came to his office.

He suddenly realized and asked her "How did you know I was at the office, I was just speaking to you when you barged in here."

She chuckled at his late reaction and told him that she had heard Zeenat and Dilshaad and that his mum had told her sister he was at office and seeing this as the best opportunity to meet him alone she came here.

Asad smiled at her and wrapped his arm across her shoulder pulling her closer to him and they sat like that enjoying their time together.
