Part 23(A)
Asad, Zoya n Najma r showing Ayaan, Alisha n Zain d secret rooms in their house. Zoya takes them to d secret room thru d cupboard where she had kept Tanveer tied.
"Dis is d room where Zoya had kept Tanveer. I remember dis as I talked wid Zoya on Skype," said Ayaan.
"Who is Tanveer?" asked Alisha.
"Beta, Tanveer is d name of a chudail who troubled some good people a lot but ur Zoya was very smart n brave. She kidnapped her n kept her tied on dat chair," replied Najma.
"Dis is so amazing, Khala. Wat did dat chudail do?" asked Zain.
Asad, Zoya, Najma n Ayaan did not know wat to say.
"Beta, dat chudail came in d form of a human being n ur Asad Khalu's childhood friend but she showed her real face n troubled everyone. She was creating problems in our life n bringing tears in some people's eyes. But now she is in jail," replied Ayaan.
"Dat chudail sud remain in jail only," said Alisha.
They came out of dat room n then Zoya showed them d secret room under d couch.
"Zoya, dis room is nice for doing romance," said Najma wid a smile.
"Asad had told me d same thing," blurted Zoya accidentally.
Zoya realized wat she said n got embarrassed while others including Asad started laughing. Asad smirks @ Zoya amusingly while she is still embarrassed.
"Bhaijaan, I never knew u cud think like dat. But after seeing Zoya, anything is possible," teased Ayaan wid a laugh.
Asad hits Ayaan annoyingly on d head.
"Najma, y u told dis in front of kids?" asked Zoya.
"V r not kids okay," said Zain.
"Don't tell us kids," said Alisha.
Everyone's eyes became wide.
"Zoya, wat does they eat?" asked Asad amusingly.
"Pizza," replied Alisha n Zain 2gthr.
"Zoya, u also eat pizza a lot," said Najma.
"Dats y she is also mischievous like them," said Ayaan.
Others except Zoya laugh. Zoya hits Ayaan annoyingly on his head.
"Ayaan, go n move dat painting," said Zoya.
"Why?" asked Ayaan.
"Move it na," said Zoya.
Ayaan moved d couch n was shocked to see a sliding door.
"Secret room again?" asked Ayaan shockingly.
"Yes," replied Zoya wid a smile n pressed some numbers to open door.
All went inside. Ayaan, Alisha n Zain were amazed to see d room.
"R we done wid seeing d secret rooms?" asked Ayaan.
"Not yet," replied Najma.
Asad, Zoya n Najma shows Ayaan, Alisha n Zain some more secret room n spots. They r amazed to see them. They then come out in d hall.
"Ammi, v hv seen some secret rooms n secret spots," said Alisha.
"In one secret room, Zoya has kidnapped a chudail," said Zain.
All started laughing.
"V need to go now," said Dilshad.
"Well, v vl meet soon," said Zahira.
Asad called d driver of Dilshad's car.
"Y r u calling d driver?" asked Dilshad.
"Cuz I am taking Zoya to watch cricket in my car," replied Asad.
Everyone smiles after hearing dis.
Scene shifts to AsYa @ d cricket stadium watching cricket while eating popcorn.
"Asad, now Dhoni's batting is coming," said Zoya happily.
"Now u vl pay attention to Dhoni only," said Asad.
"Jealous," said Zoya wid a grin.
"Jealous, my foot," said Asad.
"Six," said Zoya happily standing up as Dhoni hits a six.
"Sit now otherwise d back persons vl shout," said Asad making her sit.
After d match got over, Asad drove to a park. They brought sandwich 4m one of d stalls n sat on a park bench.
"Asad, I want u to know more abt me. U always wanted everything perfect n a perfect wife. But there is nothing like perfect. Its just misconception," said Zoya.
"I know Zoya," said Asad, "I was always thinking dat I am perfect n I want everything to be in perfection. Some people used to call me Mr. Perfect. But later I realized dat I was nowhere perfect in reality but a bad example in d name of a man. I hv realized dat there is nothing like perfect. Perfection is a big misconception n v only mess if v follow dat."
"Asad, u know I was not always like I am now," said Zoya.
"Means?" asked Asad.
"Till a year ago, I was cold n akdu type like u some of d times," said Zoya.
"I can't believe it," said Asad.
"Its true," said Zoya, "But I was not too much of dat like u were. I was not even regressive n judgemental like u. D childhood incident affected me a lot n it still affects me now sometimes. As I earlier said, I used to hardly wear girly clothes. I only used to wear girly clothes like dress, skirt, gown, salwar-suit, saree during namaaz, festivals, parties, etc. Otherwise, I wore t-shirts, shirts, vest, jerseys, jackets, shorts, trousers, jeans most of d times. I hardly used to do make-up. I am still d same but now I wear all types of clothes. I did not used to talk much wid people other than my family n friends. For my family n friends, I used to very cheerful n friendly but for others I used be a little cold, arrogant n unfriendly. Unfriendly means I used to talk properly but I did not used to get close to them. I used to get very angry some of d times if someone talked nonsense n stupid like I used to get angry wid u for ur earlier attitude. Wen our problems got worse, I hated u like anything cuz I cud not believe dat such persons exist in d world. Glad dat u hv changed now n started thinking properly. I never wanted to fall in love as I did not wanted someone to ruin my life like dat monster ruined my ammi's life. I used to be very cold n akdu wid most of d boys. Some boys were my friends but I never had a boyfriend. Only in group studies, play n dance competition, I wud work wid boys. I was modern but not like those girly type of girls who wud drool over guys. I only used to hv fun n talk cheerfully wid my family n my friends. Wid others, I used to talk normally even smiling very hardly. If someone messed wid me, I always wanted to teach him or her a lesson. Sometimes, I did right but sometimes I used to do more than required. I used to even hurt people sometimes by being a little mean n bitchy if I did not liked them or if I was irritated wid them. But every time, I did it wid reason not like u who hurt me in d past widout any reason. Ur reasons were always stupid n U did not even had manners to talk wid a girl properly. U even fought wid a girl who according to u was abt to be married. U said dat no one talked to u like dat before which I found rude. I understood dat u r a hypocrite. V sud not hv such ridiculous attitude. U even made a guest dat also a female guest uncomfortable in d house as if I was a criminal. Well cumn to me, even wid my family n friends I did not used to be as cheerful n bubbly as I am now. 10 months ago, wen I returned 4m Paris, my parents used to tell me to change myself a little. Ammi n di used to buy me a lot of girly clothes teln me dat wearing them some of d times vl not ruin my tomboy image n as I vl be a fashion designer, I sud wear all kinds of clothes. Initially, I resisted but then I started wearing girly clothes too along wid d usual types of clothes I wore. Even during fashion course n internship, I did not wore girly clothes. I wore girly clothes only while doing modelling for some fashion designers which was part of d course n internship. My parents even told me to change my cold attitude n try to be friends wid people. If not being friends but at least I sud be friendly wid people before becoming a fashion designer n starting my career. I was not much loud n messy earlier. I used to spread my things much less than I do now. During these 10 months, I changed a lot. But I am not entirely changed n never will. I can still get angry like I got angry wid u for ur mistakes. I did not got close to Nikhat, Nuzhat n Humeira cuz they never got close to their own sister Najma in collge. I felt as if they r only in their own world not caring to know abt others. Still, I vl patch-up wid them now n try to be friendly wid them. U remember very well wat I did wid Tanveer. I can't be great to people like her. I hope u still like me after knowing so much things abt me."
"Of course I like u. In fact, I like u even more after knowing so much things abt u," said Asad wid a smile, "I can't believe u were similar to me in many things."
"Dats y, u reminded of my earlier self wen I met u but I was not horrible, regressive n judgemental like u. I used to just maintain distance wid people," said Zoya.
They finished their sandwiches.
"But u used to talk wid me 4m d time u came home," said Asad.
"I was trying to be ur friend as u r ammi's son. I thought dat u r not bad and u vl talk to me after some time but I was wrong. Then I only used to talk to irritate u or prove u wrong or prove dat I am better than u. I cud not believe dat u r ammi's son."
Just then Nikhat, Nuzhat n Humeira entered d park. They saw Asad n Zoya 4m far n smiled. They went near them. Asad n Zoya lukd @ them shockingly.
"Asad bhaijaan, Zoya, v know v hv hurted both of u a lot especially Zoya. V r really sorry for it," said Humeira.
"Zoya bhabhi, I wish v wud hv tried to know d reason behind ur problems instead of blaming u all d time," said Nuzhat.
"Wateva may hv happened between both of u, v hope it never happens again. V don't know wat happened but v wish both of u to always remain 2gthr," said Nikhat.
Asad n Zoya lukd @ each other n then again lukd @ them.
"Its good dat u hv realized ur mistakes. I am ready to patch-up wid 3 of u," said Zoya.
"Date mans u forgave us?" asked Nuzhat happily.
"Yes," replied Zoya wid a smile.
Nikhat n Humeira also smiled.
"Never hurt anyone like dat again," said Asad.
"Yes bhaijaan," said Humeira.
"V may not be able to come to both of ur wedding rituals but v vl come to d wedding," said Nikhat wid a smile.
"V vl be very happy," said Asad wid a smile.
Zoya hugged d girls one by one happily.
After Asad n Zoya returns home, they r surprised to see Zoya's family.
"U all here?" asked Zoya surprisingly.
"V vl be here till ur Walima," replied Zeenat wid a smile.
Asad n Zoya lukd @ each other @ d mention of Walima'.
"I am very happy to see all of u here," said Asad wid a smile.
"2mrw is both of urs engagement," said Zameer.
"Engagement means where Khala n Khalu vl make each other wear rings na?" asked Zain.
"Yes," replied Najma wid a smile, "U both learn so much so soon."
Cuz v r smart, Tamatar Aunty," said Alisha.
"Dat v can see very well," said Asad wid a smile.
"Thank God, they did not asked abt Walima," whispered Zoya to Asad.
"Yes other v all wud hv been embarrassed," whispered Asad.
At night, Asad n Zoya were in their balcony in their night clothes.
"4m 2mrw, there vl be a new start of our life," said Asad wid a smile.
"After our nikaah,
I am ready to our relation on d next level. Dat means, v vl hv our Walima on d
next evening of our nikaah," said Zoya wid a smile, "V hv already delayed a
lot."
Asad becomes happy hearing wat she said.
"Glad dat u r ready to trust me," said Asad wid a smile.
"I still trust u but I want to do it only after our remarriage. Our 1st night of our 1st nikaah was messed up but dis time, it vl be a very beautiful night," said Zoya wid a smile.
"I vl make sure dat v vl make dat night very beautiful," said Asad wid a smile.
"Me too," said Zoya wid a smile.
"Lets go to sleep now," said Asad wid a smile.
They went to their bed n slept in each others' arms.
