Asad told Dilshad that they should ask zoya approval as well. She told asad that her parents said that zoya was agreed that's why they took decision on his behalf. Asad rang zoya & requested her to meet him which she obliged. She was shocked & felt happy that someone said to her to decide what she want. Praying scene was beautifully written.

Chapter 10

The khan family had already started the preparations for the wedding. After all, it was the most awaited wedding of the family and they had so little time. They had printed invitation cards and already started mailing it out to relatives and calling people. The house was bursting around with people such as caterers, decorators, marriage hall brokers, etc. Asad wasn't really interested in these things and he just focused on his work. It has been 2 days since Asad and Zoya met at the coffee shop. Dilshad called Razia and told her that they would like to take Zoya shopping for the engagement and wedding dresses. They decided that the khan family will pick up Razia, Humaira, and Zoya and go to the mall together. Razia informed Zoya about it and told her to dress appropriately. Zoya just rolled her eyes and mumbled, "Whatever that means!" Dilshad informed Asad and he told her that they should go and he wasn't interested in shopping. "Asad, tumara nikaah hai, tume toh chalna hi padega," Dilshad stated. "Ammi, aap joh bhi layengi mujhe wohi theek hai," he said not looking up from his laptop. Dilshad sighed, "Agar apne liye nahi toh Zoya kehliye aajao," she said. Asad looked at his mother and nodded a yes. Dilshad was happy that at least Zoya's mention had made him agree to the trip. Around five, two cars pulled up into the Siddiqui driveway. The three ladies greeted the family. Zoya was dressed in an orange anarkali and Asad in his black suit. They just looked at each other and smiled. In one car, it was Farhan and Nikhat with Imran, Haider, Humaira, and Razia. In the other car, it was Dilshad, Najma, Asad, and Zoya. Rashid hasn't been able to accompany them due to work commitments. Zoya was about to open the rear passenger door when Dilshad stopped her, "tumari jaaga waha hai beta Asad keh saath, jao!" she said. "Lekin aunty, aap," Zoya said. "Main yahi theek hoon," Dilshad said as she climbed in the back. "Wow Bhabhi, enjoy!" Najma teased. Zoya felt her cheeks turn pink. Asad just glared at his sister and she quickly got into the back seat along with Dilshad. Zoya looked up at Asad and he just nodded for her to sit in the front. She came to the other side and Asad opened the door for her. Both the cars left for the mall.

On the way there, Asad kept stealing glances at Zoya which didn't go unnoticed by Dilshad. "Zoya!" Dilshad called out. Zoya turned towards her, "jee aunty," she said. "Yeh tum mujhe aunty kyun kehti ho, ammi kaho mujhe accha lagega," Dilshad said. The smile from Zoya's lips faded and she lowered her eyes trying to hide her tears. Both Asad and Dilshad noticed it and were shocked. "Kya hua beta? Maine kuch galat keha diya?" Dilshad asked caressing her cheek. "Nahi nahi, woh bas aise hi," Zoya replied wiping her tears away. Razia had always yelled at her whenever she called her mother and here was Dilshad who she had met just a couple days ago who was asking her to call her ammi. Asad looked at Dilshad and she just motioned him to let her be. If Zoya didn't want to share it, Dilshad didn't feel right to push her. The rest of the ride they all stayed quiet and reached the mall.

The family walked in and went into a shop that they regularly visited. Soon, the ladies gathered to start selecting dresses and Farhan and Haider took Asad upstairs which was the men's section. Zoya looked at the way Dilshad interacted with Nikhat and Najma; you could see the love and care in her eyes. She then looked at Razia selecting dresses with Humaira and her heart filled with pain. Only if she too had someone, she thought. At that moment, she felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned to find Dilshad. "Tum kuch nahi logi Zoya?" she asked. "Woh maine abhi dekha nahi," Zoya replied. "Phir chalo, tumara nikaah hai, phela haq toh tumara banta hai," Dilshad said as she took Zoya to the counter. Zoya's heart filled with love for the woman. "Rahim ji yeh meri hone wali bahu hai, issliye aap ka best collection dikhayega," Dilshad said as Zoya smiled and greeted the elderly man. Zoya and Dilshad looked through many dresses and finally she looked at one that was kept aside. "Kya main woh dekh sakthi hoon?" Zoya asked pointed to the white lehenga. "Nahi beta, woh lehenga theek nahi hai, aap kohi dusra dekhlo," Rahim said. "Kyun? Kissi aur ne woh le liya hai?" Zoya asked a little sad. "Nahi beta, woh uss ka dupatta galti se garaab hogaya issliye," Rahim said. Seeing Zoya's face, "Kya hum dekh sakthe hai phir bhi," Dilshad said. Rahim agreed and he opened the lehenga up so the ladies can see. It was a beautiful white lehenga with silver sequencing all over and a pink and green border at the bottom. "Wow!" Zoya exclaimed as she ran her hands over the lehenga. Dilshad and Nikhat smiled at each other. "Yeh pack kardijiye," Dilshad said to Rahim. "Lekin isska dupatta," Zoya said. "Uska solution hai mere paas," Dilshad said and Zoya looked at her confused. Dilshad took a bag from Nikhat and took something out. It was a pink dupatta with heavy green border and silver sequences. "Yeh dupatta maine Asad ki dulhan kehliye liya tha, aabh yeh iske sahi haqdaar keh paas jaraha hai," dilshad said as she opened and placed it over her head lovingly. "aabh lagrahi haina humari beti dulhan jaisi," dilshad said as Zoya smiled. "wow bhaji, you look beautiful!" Humaira said. "bhaijaan toh aap par fida hojayenge," Najma teased. Zoya moved forward and hugged Dilshad, "thank you ammi!" she said. Everyone smiled while Razia just got irritated. Everyone failed to notice the two pair of eyes who were watching the whole scene from the 2^nd floor. She looked breathtaking in that dupatta, he thought. But there was also a hint of sadness that he would see in her eyes. Even in the car she was sad. There was something that bothered her and it had to do something with her mother, this much he understood. Zoya looked up to see Asad staring at her. On getting caught, he just turned to haider and Farhan and the clothes they were selecting.

Hours later, the ladies bought dresses for the engagement and all the wedding rituals. Dilshad told Zoya that she would bring her the nikaah dress when she comes for the mehendi as that is how it was done in the khan household. "agar humara bank account khatam kardiya ho toh chale," Farhan teased them all. "abhi jewelry bhi leyni hai saare dresses ki," Nikhat retorted as Farhan pretending to have a heart attack. "jewelry hum natwar lal ji se ley lenge, main unne kal hi ghar bhula thi hoon," Dilshad announced as the girls squealed in excitement. "Zoya, tum aur Humaira bhi aajao," dilshad said. "aree nahi nahi dilshad bi humare ghar ki ladkiya shaadi se phele sasural nahi jaati," Razia intervened. "theek hai, main kuch pasand karke tumse pooch lungi," Dilshad said to Zoya and she nodded. On the way back, it was decided that Asad and Haider will drop Zoya and her family home and Farhan will take the others to the khan mansion. Zoya greeted everyone and hugged Najma, Dilshad, and Nikhat before going to Asad's car. Dilshad saw Zoya going towards the passenger seat next to Asad and smiled but she saw the Razia was headed there too. She quickly called out, "Razia bi, mujhe aap se kuch baat karni hai, ek minute," she said. Razia quickly turned and walked towards her while Asad came to open the door for Zoya. Seeing Asad, haider too opened the back door for Humaira, "yeh lijiye Humaira begun!" he said as she smiled and got in. On the way back, Zoya was really happy. Her heart told her that she was right in choosing Asad. He was going to give her so many relations that she never had before, especially a mother. She had never felt a mother's love but if her mother had been alive then she would probably be like dilshad. Asad noticed the smile on her face all through the ride back and was happy. Reaching their destination, Asad helped Zoya carry her bags as there were so many. Once they reached inside the house, "accha aunty, hum chalte hai," haider said. "aree beta, andar aao baito," Razia offered very sweetly. "nahi woh ammi intezaar karahi hongi, hum chalthe hai. Khuda hafiz," Asad said looking at Zoya. "khuda hafiz," she replied. Later, Zoya and Humaira carried their bags upstairs to the rooms. Humaira kept teasing Zoya about Asad and how beautiful she was going to look in all the dresses.

The next day, Dilshad had invited natwar lal ji, their family jeweler with engagement rings and bridal jewelry. The ladies selected jewelry for their dresses and Dilshad chose some for Zoya too. Just then she saw the khan men return from work. Nikhat went to get them all some water while Dilshad invited Asad to sit next to her. "main chathi hoon keh tum Zoya kehliye ring tum pasand karo," Dilshad said. Asad sighed, "ammi, mujhe yeh sabh nahi aata," he told her, tired from a long day of work. "aabh isski aadat dal lijiye bhaijaan, after all Bhabhi keh aane keh baad aap ko unkehliye yeh sabh bhi karna padega," Najma teased but quickly kept quiet when Asad glared at. "bahut asaan hai Asad! rings koh dekho phir soocho keh kyon si Zoya kehliye sahi rahegi," Nikhat said as she gave Rashid and Farhan some cold water. Asad sat up straight and scanned the rings. His eyes fell on one of them. He remembered that whenever he had seen Zoya, she always had minimal but unique jewelry. He picked the ring out and scanned it, "mujhe lagtha hai yeh sahi rahegi," Asad said. "wow bhaijaan, it's so pretty!" Najma said happily as everyone agreed. Dilshad was happy that Asad was coming out of his shell slowly, thanks to Zoya.

Engagement ring:

On the other hand, Zoya sat on her bed staring at something. She caressed it lovingly as tears formed in her eyes. "main kya karoon ammi...kya saach baata doh? Kya saach jaane keh baad bhi Mr. khan mujhse nikaah karenge ya mujhe kuch nahi kehna chahiye," she questioned. The closer the engagement date got and the further that Asad and her moved in their relationship, the more insecure she felt. And Razia's constant taunts about how lucky she was to be an orphan and still get a family like Asad's didn't help to make things any better. "bhaji...aap," Humaira interrupted her thoughts when she walked in through the open room door. Zoya quickly wiped her tears away but it was too late. Humaira rushed up to her. "bhaji, aap theek toh haina? Kya hua?" she asked worried. "kuch nahi humi, bas aisi hi," Zoya replied. Humaira saw the image in Zoya's hands. It was the picture of Zoya and her mother from when Zoya was little. She knew that Zoya only cried with this picture when she was worried about something. "bhaji, ammi ne kuch kaha?" Humaira asked. Zoya nodded her head in a negative manner. "Toh kya baat hai bhaji, boliye na," Humaira said concerned about what was making her sister cry. "dar lagraha hai humi!" Zoya confessed her fears. "kis baat ka?" Humaira asked, confused. Zoya put the picture away and sat up straight. "humi, tume nahi lagtha keh mujhe Mr. khan koh saach baata dehna chahiye," she said as Humaira looked at shocked. "bhaji, aapko achanak yeh khayal kyun aagaya? Maine kitni baar kaha keh aap beete baatein bhul jayiye," Humaira told her. "itna asaan nahi hai humi! Aur Mr. khan jisse rishta jhod rahe hai woh toh main hoon hi nahi na," Zoya said sadly. "bhaji, I don't know keh kyon kya kehta hai. Aap meri behen aur abu ki beti hai, samji aap!" Humaira firmly stated. Zoya slightly smiled and threw herself in her sister's arms, "mujhe bahut dar lagraha humi!" she honestly said. "Aap dariye mat bhaji, InshAllah Allah ne aap kehliye kuch accha hi soocha hoga," she prayed. Zoya was just confused. She didn't know what she should do. Should she tell Mr. Khan? Will he understand her? Will he accept her after knowing her past? What was the right thing to do? She didn't have answers to any questions that her heart was probing for.
