BANNER CREDIT-Immortallove😊

Zoya woke up and groggily opened her eyes. She yawned and looked here and there. Her sleepy eyes landed on Asad sleeping right beside her. Her eyes snapped open on seeing him so close. She had waited for this moment since so many years...5 long years have passed since they became man and wife but in true sense, she felt it was the day when she was going to be his ...finally the day was here!! She was going to let him know that what he meant to her...not from few days but since the time she was separated from him first. She'd realized but then the circumstances weren't so endearing that she could speak her heart out. Then with Asad leaving for New York, she safely hid her mushy feelings in a corner in her heart...which were very enthusiastic to come out now.

She turned slightly more and took a look at his peaceful face. This man would never let her be in peace...when he wasn't here, she spent sleepless nights and now being in his arms made her restless. Her heart swelled upon seeing him so close to herself...who would have thought that this couple would make it through so much!! But yes! They did and she really accepted that whatever God does is for his children's well-being...

Asad stirred slowly, breaking Zoya's trance. She ruffled his thick hairs and he hummed. Zoya did some more. Asad caught her hand and brought close to his lips...

"Good morning Mrs. Khan!" he murmured in a sleepy voice while Zoya kissed the top of his head.

"Good morning!" she kissed his eyes.

"Iraade kya hain Mrs. Khan??" Asad opened his eyes wide and naughtily winked at her.

"Shut up! I was just wishing you a good morning..." she struggled to come out of his hold.

"I was just kidding. I don't mind at all...after all I am all yours." He crushed her to himself. He slowly and smartly leaned closer to her while she shied and closed her eyes...expecting him to do some more.

KNOCK KNOCK**!!

Asad and Zoya jerked away on hearing the banging noice on their door followed by a desperate voice, "Maamu!! Mumani! Main kabse aapko bula rahi hoon!!"

Zoya pushed Asad away and ran to open the door before Anjum called the whole house to witness the scene.

"Anjum! What happened baby?" She cooed.

"Mumani, Ammi is calling you for breakfast and Maamu too!" she informed while Asad sighed sadly.

_______________________________________

EVENING, SAME DAY:

Asad and Zoya hurried up to get ready. Everyone had gathered around them the whole day, not giving them even a second to be close. Humeira and Najma bugged Asad to tell about New York and the latest fashion there while Asad also gave his family members the souveniers that he had bought for them. the happy family soothed Asad's being...this was all that he needed and wanted in his life. He set a quick prayer to Lord to keep all of them together.

As much as he loved them, he was frustrated to have them around every moment. He wanted to hold Zoya and force her to say those magical words back but no! they didn't give him a chance. Whenever he looked at her, he saw those almond eyes speaking a lot...she wanted to confess...hell yes!!! She was as desperate as him to speak out...but Alas! More wait...burning in the pain of love!!

Zoya traced the soft fabric of the elegant Turquoise gown that Asad had bought for her. "Nice choice, Mr. Khan!" she mumbled and hugged it to herself. She remembered how Asad had gifted her flowers once...his first gift. He had mentioned that he was capable of giving her that much only and now, he had brought the whole world in her feet. People recognized her as the beloved wife of the painter who emerged as a shining star with his hardwork. Her eyes turned misty as she recalled all those days...but her lips curved in a smile thinking how they fought and at the same time cared for each other.

She shook her head and looked at the clock. It was time to go and get ready...she didn't want to be late. She had planned this party...a success bash for Asad and Ayaan. Smiling to herself, she went to get changed.

Asad looked at himself from top to bottom. He looked ready to kill in his black tux. He thoughtfully kept a turquoise handkerchief to match Zoya...his better half. He came outside and waited patiently for Zoya. everybody had left already to check the arrangements and an enthusiastic Ayaan went with them too, leaving the love-birds all by themselves to reach the venue together. Half an hour passed but there was no sign of Zoya... "Zoya!!" he shouted for her but on getting no response he moved towards her room to check on her.

He entered the room and for a moment his breath got stuck in his throat. The ethereal beauty in front of him was in no way describable. Zoya was busy struggling with the laces at the back of the gown but was unable to tie them. Asad saw her slender fingers working on them but failing miserably. Her pouty face and frowned brows made him aroused.

"Zoya..." he blurted out before he could stop himself. Zoya stopped and looked forward into the mirror where she can see him. He looked really handsome in that suit and Zoya just wanted to hug him and feel his arms wounding around herself...but this wasn't the time.

"Help me Mr. Khan!!" she broke his daze and decided to tease him when she saw that desire in his eyes.

"Mmm..." he hummed and walked upto her...taking the strings in his hands while Zoya's fingers slightly brushed his. He kept his eyes fixed on her gorgeous back and it took him every ounce of self-control that he had to stop himself from undoing her then and there. He smacked his lips together to stop the groan forming in his throat while Zoya, who was until now smirking on her success, felt like she was on fire. Asad's warm fingers occasionally stroked her milky skin and she felt like her knees will give away anytime.

"Done!" he huskily whispered while blowing air on her ear. She just nodded and tried to step forward when Asad took hold of her bare shoulders. He drew her closer to his chest and slipped down his hands all the way from her shoulders to her forearm and finally interlocked his fingers with hers. Zoya threw back her head on his shoulder in pleasure and he nuzzled into her neck. His mouth on its own moved to place wet kisses on her neck and rest of the exposed skin. After a while, Zoya turned back and put her arms around his torso and hugged him tightly.

"I can't wait more..." Asad said breathing heavily.

Zoya wanted to say so much. She had to confess but this moment...the heat that was burning them...she just nodded her head in assertion. They both were so lost in each other that they didn't pay heed to the time on which they needed to set out to be at the party venue. Asad fisted her curly locks in his hands and inhaled their fruity scent. Zoya kept caressing his back, unable to stop herself from keeping still.

~~TRIN TRIN~~ TRIN TRIN~~

Asad and Zoya jerked out of their dreamland and looked at each others flushed face and then at the culprit...Zoya's phone...ringing loudly and mocking them at their unfinished romance. Zoya picked up the phone and blurted out in annoyance, "Helloo!"

"Zoee, where are you both? Yahan sab guests aane lage hain!" Humeira blasted.

Zoya turned around to take a look at the clock and she gasped, "Ya Allah! We are just leaving Humi...please handle for few more minutes...please please please!!"

"Okay! Thirty minutes!" she spoke and disconnected the call.

"Asad...woh..." Zoya started, not able to look into his love-filled eyes.

"Hmmm...lets go!" he held out his hand which she willingly took and both moved out of the house.

Asad held her hand in his own while driving. Zoya blushed and looked away just to calm her raging heart...what if the phone hadn't interrupted them. She felt butterflies in her tummy on imagining the various scenarios that they would have landed in then. Suddenly she felt herself jerking forward...

"Asad! Kya hua? Car kyun rok di?" she questioned looking at her watch.

"If you keep moaning like that we won't be going anywhere." He said looking at her face which has turned crimson in shame. She didn't know when she'd moaned his name while drowning in her wild dreams. Asad smiled when he saw her fidgeting with her hairs. He slowly leaned in towards her and lifted her face keeping his finger under her chin. So what if he can't have his way with her now!!?? It would be such a waste if all these efforts she'd put in looking so ravishing didn't get a proper reward. He had to compliment her and so he leaned in further...closer and closer while Zoya uncomfortable shifted in her seat. He closed his eyes and kept his trembling lips over hers. Zoya released the breath she was holding and closed her eyes too. Her went up to his hairs on their own accord while Asad chewed her lower lip mercilessly. For a moment, Zoya just felt what his every touch provoked in her. As she was about to respond, a blaring horn broke them apart.

"Arre!! Aage badho...road kyun block kar rakhi hai?" a man shouted from somewhere while Asad closed his eyes in frustration. Today everybody had taken the job of being a villain in his love story. No romance, no hanky panky and no kiss...incredibly brutal!! He was cursing all of them who ruined his moments with Zoya while the horn blared more loudly this time. He sighed and ignited the engine... "I won't start anything now...today is not my day!!" he mumbled to himself and drove ahead.

Asad stepped in with Zoya, hand in hand while the spotlight followed them. Everyone clapped for the couple and they both looked extremely happy. Zoya gazed at her Asad...she was feeling so proud...this was her man. No one knew them before a while but now it felt as if they were some celebs. People were desperate to come and talk to them.

Ayaan jumped in front of them out of nowhere and they gasped. Asad smacked his arm playfully and then they both bumped their fists.

"How am I looking Asad?" Ayaan asked adjusting his collars.

"Just like a monkey!! You will never change." Asad chuckled at his shocked expression.

"Bhabhijaan! See, what he's saying? Don't give him babies for next ten months!!" he pouted while Zoya looked down.

"Now will you move or should I make you do that?" Asad asked scaring Ayaan with his iron fist.

"Ja raha hoon...dara kyun rahe ho?" he smiled foolishly and left the place.

FLASHBACK ENDS...

Zoya's POV:

Love...that's what I'd ever dreamt of...I've craved for it all my life...finally I've found it in HIM...my husband...my better half. Our tale was not a bed of rose but still with him, even a path full of pot-holes seemed worth walking...now, after a long struggle, we're going to be one. I'm going to pour my heart in front of him and give myself to him. I know he wants me too but after what he's gone through...so what if he's hesitant...I'll do all the talking and his eyes will let me know...that's what he always do!!

"Zoya!!" Dilshad Ammi called me and I went to attend her. After helping her with the dinner I whispered my plan for tonight in her ears and she showed me thumbs up. She was smiling at me and lovingly patted my head. She pulled me closer and whispered naughtily, "I want two grandchildren..." And winked at me.

I was so embarrassed...what kind of a mother-in-law she's!! I mumbled an excuse and ran out. I can't take this teasing anymore...all the persons around me are obsessed with babies...Ya Allah!!

__________________________________________

After seeing off the last guest, Zoya looked at Asad. He looked tired but they have to talk. She dragged him with her while he looked boggled.

"Zoya...Zoya..What...Where are you taking me? Zoya, wait!" Asad asked desperately.

"Shhh!! I have something for you!!" she beamed.

"Zoya, can't we see that tomorrow? I am tired..." he whined.

"No! I am taking you there...now!!! You sit in the car..." she dragged him again while he made puppy faces to spare him.

"I am driving!!!" she said while pushing him to the passenger seat.

Asad tried asking her about their destination but she didn't budge. Exasperated, he decided that he should take a sleep till his stubborn wife drive to wherever they were going.

It was still dark when Asad felt the car coming to a sudden stop. He blinked his eyes and looked at Zoya. She jumped out of her seat and came to his side, opening the door for him. He came out and a smile formed on his face when he saw where they were. So many memories were associated with this place that he felt overwhelmed...his and Zoya's story started from this place and now after so many years, they were once again standing at the same place...hands intertwined, looking lost and nervous, of what was to come next but determined to make it work...face all that life throws in their way...with each other's support and love.

Zoya opened the door and they took steps inside together...just like the first time when they came here...their home in KASAULI...that nice small cottage which formed the base of their relationship...where they grew from strangers to buddies and then finally lovers...where they united and then were separated. This house was the place where Zoya experienced the love that she wanted since her childhood...where she accepted at least to herself that there was something between her and Asad...here cupid's arrow targeted their lonely hearts and bound them together.

Asad looked at Zoya in awe while she ran and took him in her arms...Asad hugged her back and kissed her wherever he can.

"Zoya...you brought me here!! I can't tell you how happy I am!! This is...this is the best gift!!" he spoke, happiness palpable in his voice.

"Asad! There is much more...you can't even imagine!!" she winked and he looked down blushing.

They looked around, still holding hands...each corner held their memories, every corner was just as they'd left it.

"Asad?"

"Hmm..."

"I want to say something..."

"Hmm..."

"You...I mean...we..."

"Zoya, since when did you start stuttering?" he chuckled.

"Umm...woh...I...I want to say...I..."

Asad patiently waited for her to form a coherent sentence. She was so anxious and he wasn't a fool...he knew what to expect out of this surprise...

"I LOVE YOU TOO!!" she confessed back after so many months and again hid in his chest while he grinned like a fool, hugging her like he hadn't hugged her before. His eyes dripped tears of happiness and Zoya's condition was no less...she herself couldn't keep her tears under check.

After their teary confession, Asad pulled her back and faced her.

"Why are you crying? I am not that bad...and now I am completely sane." He teased her.

"You were not an insane...I knew it." She spoke in a serious tone which even Asad didn't want to cut in between. "I cursed my life so many times before but when we came here I realized that you were not what everyone took you as...you and me, we together took steps towards our relation. I knew that I had to leave you someday as I had promised Humi but then when that day came I felt as if someone was sucking my life out of me. I realized then Asad...what you meant to me...who you were for me!!"

"You did?" he was surprised.

"Yes! But Humi didn't understand and she manipulated me and I left with her...I left my life here and went away." She sobbed and he hugged her tighter.

"Then I lived somehow for a month and then one day Humi understood my plight. She made me go back to you but in this process I troubled you so much...my stupidity costed me so much. It costed your trust, your smile, your voice..." she blinked her tears away.

"At last you accepted that you are a stupid!" he giggled and he hit him in his stomach.

"Ouch!" he shrieked.

"Haww...Woh toh maine yuhin keh diya." She scolded and he nodded.

"But now, I don't want to waste any more time...I have realized that I shouldn't have left you and..."

"I you hadn't then you would have remained my angel but I wouldn't have recognized my feelings. I underwent so much but it wasn't as if you didn't. Hum dono ne dooriyan sahi par aaj hum ek doosre ke saath hain and that is what matters!!" he completed her words and Zoya just said a yes.

"You will always love me like this?" she asked innocently.

"Yes...and much more!!" he promised.

"Now?"

"What?"

"Make me yours!!" she boldly demanded and his eyes remained wide for a second.

"Are you...matlab...you sure?"

"Allah! How unromantic you are!! Here your wife is asking for something so intimate and you are...AAAHHH!!" she screamed in delight when she felt the ground slipping from below her feet.

"You talk too much Zoya!! I have to shut you up..."

"How?" she grinned naughtily while folding her arms around his neck and putting her head on his well-toned chest.

"There are many ways...whichever you want!!" he winked.

"Ammi wants two grandchildren." She whispered in his ears and he grinned.

"I want ten!" he announced lying her down on the bed.

"Ten??? Ya Allah! Do I look like a reproducing machine?? Huh?" she squealed and he closed his ears.

"You know I love you so much..." He uttered after recovering from the shock and hovered on top of her, pecking his lips on hers.

"Mmm..." She moaned which encouraged him to move ahead. He slowly freed her from her jewellery and got into bed besides her. She held his hand tightly and he caressed her cheeks with his free hand. Zoya trembled in anticipation while Asad enjoyed the play of emotions on her pretty face. He pecked her cheeks and drew careless patterns on her back.

He untied those strings which he had tied in the evening by his own hands. Her face snuggled closer to his chest as she played with the buttons on Asad's shirt. He held her hand and helped her in unbuttoning his shirt. Finally when they she did, he pulled her closer to himself feeling her skin in contact with his.

Their hearts sped up on feeling the intimacy that they shared for the first time. Hugging and kissing each other, they moaned out each others name. As Asad looked at her blushing face he lost all control. He kissed her passionately and when he pulled back his eyes showed how much he wanted to love her. He proceeded towards her dress but she sprang up in a sitting position,

"Mr. Khan?"

"Jee?"

"I have a doubt!!"

"Speak up..."

"Woh...woh actually..."

"Zoya!" he was frustrated. Everybody held him back whenever he tried to be close to Zoya and now this was the height...she herself stopped him...Allah! Aaj ka din hi ajeeb hai!

"Do you know how to make babies?" she lowered her lashes and asked in a shy tone of voice.

Asad smiled at her question and took her hand in his, pulling her into his chest. He crushed her into himself and kissed her hairs. "I know!" he naughtily whispered.

"I doubt..." She pulled his legs.

"My actions will make you realize..."

He said and instantly took her in his possession. Zoya surrendered whatever she'd...moulding herself into him and loving him back. This how that night witnessed the union of two people madly in love...

And this is how he made me realize what he felt for me.

MORNING-

ZOYA'S POV:

See this cute man...after loving me like crazy and making me feeling loved in the most ardent way, he's sleeping so peacefully...must be tired!! It had just been an hour...he had drifted off to slepp but I am not even able to close my eyes. Why? Because my whole attention is on this innocent face. He seemed to have changed but still he is the same Asad I had seen for the first time. His heart craves for love as it was before. He demands attention...just as he needed just after our marriage. One thing that is different is his smile which was very rare those days and now I can see him smiling always. Just now too he's smiling in his sleep...just like a baby!!

I laid down on his chest and try to sleep. His rhythmic heart beats sound like a lullaby to me.Even with closed eyes I am only able to think how much I despised my cruel fate. I read those fairy-tales and associated myself with those beautiful dreams. I dreamt of a prince charming and chased him upto the horizon of reality. Asad's eyes seemed to enchant me for the first time and I let go...even then it had a distinct twinkle to which I instantly connected.

Now when I look back I take it as a turning point in my life. This phase of my life made me realize that not everything is as bad as it seems. People doing something terrible to you cannot harm you until and unless you let them do so. In my story, those pathetic people who were our own parents pushed us into something that was against our will but changed us and our lives for good.

My life wasn't a fairy tale but something which I never expected...adventurous...challenging...unpredictable...but at the end I have earned everything that I needed...wanted...I have a family, my husband...and I am hopeful very soon I will be a mother too!!

LIFE IS PERFECT AND I JUST WANT TO LIVE IT WITH HIM...WHATEVER WE HAVE IN OUR DESTINIES, WE'LL FACE TOGETHER...JUST WE DID ALWAYS!!!

FINALLY I COMPLETED IT...THESE WERE THE MOST PRECIOUS HOURS OF MY LEISURE TIME. I CHERISH THIS STORY SO MUCH AS IT WAS BASED ON MY REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE, OF COURSE WITH MY IMAGINATION.

I AM GLAD FOR THOSE WHO SURVIVED IT TILL THE END...AND REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE.

LOVE YOU ALL FOR BEING SO KIND AND AFFECTIONATE TO ME...THANKS...REALLY! FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART...

AND NOW! I WON'T BE INVESTING TIME IN LONG STORIES...AS I AM PRETTY BUSY THESE DAYS BUT I'LL TRY TO WRITE OS'S...IF I GET SOME IDEAS...LOL

TILL THEN BYE BYE...

I WILL BE HERE ALWAYS JUST AS A READER TILL THEN!!

LOVE YOU...
