A/N : IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

Hello People,

I know most of you are not happy with the way the story is shaping. I have already told you guys that this one is very different from Love Happens', that story had loads of romance but this is more of how they truly find each other. I would like to clarify a few things and answer one important question that a few have asked me.

Ok first, I am a very positive person and like to keep myself and my stories away from evil and extremely negative things, so all those who wanted to know, there is NO TANVEER in my story. I don't like cats at all 😆

Second and most important, guys this story is just like what we liked in QH. Asad is being just himself. He was emotionally challenged who was ready to let her go, let his first love go only because he was scared of hurting her. Remember him saying to himself "Yeh jo ansuna sa khichaav hai hum dono ke beech... Blah blah blah..." That is the Asad I am portraying here. So he is extremely emotionally challenged. He is the same Asad who could not get passed Vo..Actually to confess his love to Zoya around the dining table. I hope you all understand and will be patient for him to confess.

As for Zoya, if you all remember she had mellowed down so much during all their functions during the 10 day challenge. That is the Zoya in my story. She has got married because her Phoophi wants and is only trying to be what Asad has always said he wants in his life partner. Her continous breakdowns are normal keeping in mind she doesn't know how he truly feels for her. She desperately wants her feelings reciprocated. And they always had misunderstandings between them unless they discussed, which they hardly did. I know it's difficult but please hang in there; I will not disappoint you in the end.

And Finally Happy Reading

Chapter 3

The next few days it seemed that Zoya had fallen into a schedule. She would get up early and after offering her morning prayer she would get busy in the kitchen with Dilshaad getting the breakfast ready. As soon as she would hear Asad's alarm she would get his morning coffee ready and take it to his room. Asad had noticed these changes in her and liked the fact that she was slowly taking all his responsibility on herself, easing Dilshaad out of it.

It somehow made him feel that maybe this nikah was as real for her as it was for him. But on a few occasions he did miss her old self. How he wished she would barge into the room with her famous "Allah miyan what's wrong with you Mr.Khan" or would argue with him over something...over anything. He missed her nonstop banter that they had had ever so often before their nikah. How he wished for her to break into a couplet just to tease him.

He was also not unaware of the tears she was shedding hiding from everyone. Asad had seen her putting up a brave front when she was with his Ammi and Najma, not letting them know what she truly was going through. She would talk and laugh like earlier but would shed a few tears too hiding them behind the tears they all had in their eyes laughing at her silly jokes. Almost every night he would hear her soft sniffles and see her body shaking covered under the duvet. How he wanted to tell her what he felt for her. But the emotionally challenged man that he was, he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

On more than one occasion he had tried to instigate her into an argument with him but she would only listen to him with barely any response. Whenever in a situation like this, he would look at his Ammi with pleading eyes to help him get through to her but she would just shrug her shoulders and walk off. It was becoming difficult for Asad to see her so unresponsive to him. He felt suffocated thinking he had lost her forever. Even though they lived under the same roof, shared the same room and had a name to their relationship now, he still felt that he had lost his Zoya.

The mere thought of her being so close yet so far away hurt him. Whenever he would notice her moist eyes, her silent tears and her act as if she was very happy with her life, he would feel his heart constrict painfully. On a number of nights when he had seen her body shake under the duvet he too would let his tears roll down, he too would cry with her and for her not understanding what he should do. He felt so helpless when it came to him and Zoya.

It had been almost a month to their nikah and Asad was getting very restless to break the ice between them. He didn't want her to cry anymore and decided to confess his love to her and the fact that this nikah was as real for him as day and night. He knew she would be in the kitchen. So making his mind up, he walked into the kitchen but saw that Najma was with her too. Both were laughing at something. Asad noticed that Zoya's laughter that echoed in the kitchen was not an act, she was laughing like she used to. Mesmerized by the sound, he didn't know when he walked right upto her and stood just a few feet away from her, smiling. He felt a strange sensation course through his body at the sight of her laughing without a care.

As soon as Zoya got a hold on herself she noticed him standing and looking so happy. The smile on his face was nothing like what she had seen ever. Suddenly feeling conscious, she closed her mouth and straightened up. With the sudden change in her Najma too turned around and immediately went out the kitchen. Asad took another step closer to her and opened his mouth to say something but closed it as no sound came. He wanted to tell her how beautiful she looked laughing like that, but felt extremely nervous to complement her. After a few seconds of total silence he looked deep into her eyes and tried again "Umm... aap... aap haste huey bahut khoobsurat lagti hain, please aise hi haste rahiye... humesha." He said in a soft voice and immediately turned around and walked out the kitchen leaving a dazed Zoya behind.

He quickly entered his room and closed the door. He held onto the door knob and released the breath he was holding. Only he knew how difficult it had been for him to compliment her, not that he didn't want to, but it was difficult expressing himself. Asad could feel his heart pound like a thousand drums in his chest. He took in long breaths to calm his heart but to no avail. Slowly as his senses calmed down he felt a smile pulling at his lips and he broke into a full fledged grin realizing that this was his first ever compliment to her. He felt happy with himself to have finally said something positive to her.

As soon as Zoya heard what he had said her mouth fell agape and her heartbeat went frantic. She clutched the kitchen worktop to stable herself. She knew if she would not hold onto it she would fall down, such was the force of his words. She had been waiting to hear him say something good about her and finally the day had come.

She knew he had been happy with the change in her and how she was handling her responsibilities as a daughter in law and as a wife and had even complimented her on anything good that she did. But a compliment on her beauty was definitely a first from her Mr. Khan and she felt surprised that he could be so open about his feelings.

Remembering his words a slight blush crept up on her cheeks and all she wanted to do now was scream due to the happiness she felt. But surely she couldn't do that so she ran up the stairs to Dilshaad's room. Zoya ran upto Dilshaad and hugged her tight. "Ammi... Ammi I am so happy. So so happy. I want to scream and tell the world that I am happy" Dilshaad who knew the emotional turmoil both her children were going through and had seen them both struggling to put up an act that they were both happy, just held her tightly and asked her what had made her so happy. "Ammi... Ammi mein Najma ke saath kitchen mein thi aur hum dono kisi baat pe has rahey they jab Mr. Khan kitchen mein aaye aur Ammi unhone mujhe compliment kiya" Dilshaad who was listening intently had her eyes bulging out of her sockets at what Zoya said. Zoya nodded her head understanding that it was difficult for Dilshaad to believe it. "Ammi Mr. Khan bole... aap haste huey bahut khoobsurat lagti hain, please aise hi haste rahiye... humesha" Hearing this Dilshaad hugged Zoya tight and said "Bilkul theek kaha mere bte ne... tum sirf haste huey achi lagti ho Zoya"

Zoya smiled wide at Dilshaad and then said "Ammi... pehli baar...pehli baar Mr.Khan ne mujhey itna personal compliment diya hai... Nikah se pehle hum dono ne sirf aur sirf jhagda kiya hai... aur nikah ke baad... nikah ke baad toh baat hi bahut kam kartey hain humdono... Haan mein jo daughter in law and wife ki responsibilities puri karti hoon, usse vo bahut khush hai. Uske liye unhone meri tareef bhi ki hai kai baar... But meri knoobsurti ke liye yeh unka pehla compliment hai. Mein aapko bata nahi sakti Ammi ki mein kitni khush hoon." She hugged Dilshaad tight and then gasped and pulled away "Ammi kya iska matlab yeh ho sakta hai ki Mr. Khan is nikah ko asli manne lage hain?" Zoya asked with hope in her eyes.

Dilshaad smiled lovingly and said "Vo toh tumhe hi pata karna hoga Zoya, tum biwi ho Asad ki, tum se behtar usme yeh changes koi aur nahi bata sakta" "Par Ammi, vo ab mujey mere naam se bhi nahi bulate" Dilshaad looked back at her confused "Matlab?" "Matlab Ammi, pehle vo mujhe Ms. Farookhi bulate they, par nikah ke baad se koi bhi baat karni hoti hai toh Ji, Vo, ya phir gala saaf karke attention mangtey hain. Kabhi naam nahi lete. Mein miss karti hoon apna naam sunna unki awaaz mein" She said sadly but after a few seconds not wanting to spil her mood at the moment she repeated his words "aap haste huey bahut khoobsurat lagti hain, please aise hi haste rahiye... humesha." And smiling wide at Dilshaad she went back downstairs to finish what she was doing.

Where Zoya was making extra efforts to fulfill all her duties as a wife and daughter in law, Asad too was not behind. He was noticing how once a carefree Zoya was taking extra care about cleanliness around the house and especially in his room. He had noticed her cleaning the already clean tables just before he sat at the dining table or in the lounge area, and her walking around their room dusting it more than once in a day. He would smile seeing her being so concerned about what he liked and what he didn't.

He had even heard Dilshaad telling her to stop behaving like her Mr. Khan but the reply she gave warmed his heart and he could still hear it echo in his ears. She had said "Unhe itni si bhi dhool nahi pasand Ammi. Unke liye itna toh mein kar hi sakti hoon naa?" He smiled remembering how Dilshaad had teased her then for addressing Asad as unhe. He had noticed how she was trying to learn from Dilshaad the details of running a household and knew she was working very hard around the house and most nights she would be awake, disturbed and sometimes crying. He had noticed the tired lines that had appeared on her face and how she was beginning to get dark circles around her eyes.

The changes in her made him feel that maybe she too was considering this nikah as real and had not believed him about it being nakli. Since she was looking after so many things around the house and for him, he took the responsibility of at least making her bed for at er fornight. He quickly got off the bed and took out her beddings and placed them on the couch the way she did. As soon as Zoya entered the room she saw her bed already made. Realizing he was the one to do it, she looked at him but he was typing away on his laptop. Smiling to herself she took out her clothes from the cupboard and went to change for the night.

As she came out she looked at Asad who was still typing trying to show he didn't notice her. She smiled to herself realizing how difficult it would be for him to be facing her after doing what he did. She cleared her throat to gain his attention but as usual Asad was playing the ignorance game. She felt dumb standing there waiting for his attention so she cleared her throat again and spoke to him.

"Mr. Khan aapko yeh sab karne ki zaroorat nahi thi" she said in a soft voice.

Asad immediately looked at her, then at the couch and then back at her. "It's ok... Aap pura din sab ke liye kuch na kuch karti rehti hain. Upar se aap couch pe soti hain, toh meine socha itna toh mein kar hi sakta hoon"

Zoya looked at him and felt a warm feeling engulf her. She felt happy seeing that he was noticing her way more than he wanted her to know. How she wished he would say all this to her but not as Mr.Khan but as her husband, as Asad. Mumbling a soft thank you she lay on the couch. She looked at him and caught him looking at her. They stared at each other for a few moments when she looked away feeling a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. She looked back at him still looking at her. "Good Night Mr. Khan" she said softly bringing him out of his trance. Asad looked away feeling embarrassed at being caught staring at her like that. He too mumbled a good night to her and saw her close her eyes with a faint smile playing on her lips.
