A/N: 14+ in some parts as they are about adult discussion not about romance but things that are discussed with friends.

Part 1

In d evening, Gaffur comes in d office room in SM. He is shocked to see Asad sitting on d main chair sipping coffee.

"U r sitting in dis chair. In so many years even Rashid has not dared to sit in dis chair," said Gaffur frustratingly.

ZeeYa enters d room. They had heard wat Gaffur said.

"Mr. Siddiqui, I think u have forgot dat I now hold much shares than u and equal to d shares held by Farooquis. So, either me, Zeenat di or Zoya sud sit on dis chair," said Asad wid a smile.

"I thought dat he will only messed wid our family. Par lagta hai isne aur bhi bahot kaand kiye hai," said Zoya.

"He used our mother's shares n made Mr. Khan(Rashid) believe all these years dat he has more shares than him," said Zeenat.

"U both stop ur nonsense," said Gaffur frustratingly.

"We r just saying d truth, Mr. Siddiqui," said Zeenat.

Gaffur left d room in frustration. Asad smiles as he went cuz of his own daughters.

"Listen, I am much interested in sitting in dis chair. U both also have rights to sit in dis chair," said Asad.

"Asad, I think u sud only always sit in dis chair," said Zeenat.

Asad was shocked at wat she said.

"Why r u saying like dis?" asked Asad, "Its ur both house too."

"Asad, its not important who sits in dis chair but its important dat Mr. Gaffur sud not sit in dis chair. As u r not a threat to us, we don't have any problem wid u," replied Zoya.

"We always thought dat Mr. Siddiqui only messed wid our family but it luks like he is messing wid ur family too. Ayaan told us dat ur father did a of efforts for d company but he hardly ever got any credit due to Mr. Siddiqui. He told dat in so many years ur father never dared to sit in dis chair. But now u can give him back by always sitting in dis chair. D more Mr. Siddiqui feels unhappy d more happy we will feel," said Zeenat.

Asad was more shocked to find how smart n sly both d sisters are. Zoya was happy to see Asad sitting in d main chair. ZeeYa behaved normally wid Asad as he is Dilshad Mausi's son n their father's enemy. ZeeYa sat on d chairs before Asad.

"Where is jeeju?" asked Asad.

"He is an important meeting at his office. He will come later," replied Zeenat.

"Wat were u doing here?" asked Zoya.

"I was going thru d names of d employees of SC(Siddiqui Construction)," replied Asad.

"We have still not done. We were cumn to dat only. Well, its okay if u did dat," said Zeenat.

"Then u both have not come to know one thing," said Asad.

"Wat?" asked ZeeYa 2gthr.

"Mr. Khan had told me dat there r no female employees in SC. I was really shocked. Mr. Khan n Ayaan told me abt both of u entering dis house n revealing ur identities n many other things. Mr. Siddiqui don't like women working outside n there r no female employees in SC eventhough d person behind dis industry is itself a woman dat is ur mother. We have to change dis. Mr. Siddiqui is insulting all d women of d world," replied Asad.

"Did u thought of sumthn?" asked Zeenat.

"Not really. But we have start wid sumthn. People 4m SC including Mr. Siddiqui went to some colleges to interview students for jobs. But they have not done any selection as they have only shortlisted d candidates. We will do d interview," replied Asad.

"But d interviews r already done?" asked Zoya.

"We will do it again. Zoya, u also have seen dat day along wid me how those girls were unhappy wid SC people including its owner cuz of their MCP attitude. As I said dat we have to start wid sumthn, we will have do d interview. In datt way, we will be able to select deserving candidates. D way Mr. Siddiqui tuk d interview, many deserving female candidates were not even called for d interviews," replied Asad.

"U have said right, Asad. Sexism will affect d reputation of dis imdustry," said Zoya, "We will discuss dis entirely wid jeeju, Mr. Khan n Mr. Siddiqui."

"Yaa," said Asad.

They left d room.

Anwar came after an hour. He was sitting wid ZeeYa in Zoya's room. ZeeYa told him everything dat happened in d office.

"I am impressed wid Asad for showing dat man his place. He lied to everyone abt holding more shares but Asad showed him d mirror," said Anwar.

"We were also impressed dat. We were also impressed wid d way he decided to take d interviews again as he hates sexism like us. No one he is so intelligent n talented who set up Dilshad Constructions wid his own efforts," said Zeenat.

Zoya was lost in their talks of praising Asad. It was so nice hearing her aapi n jeeju praise Asad so much. But she wondered whether his feelings changed for her after knowing her real identity? She behaved wid him as normally as she cud but di was wid her. How will she face him wen they will be alone? Will she be able to behave wid him normally?

Asad was in his room. He was thinking abt Zeenat n Zoya teln him to always sit in d chair. He is happy dat they don't think him as their threat cuz of d reason his father transferred his shares in his name cuz both of them r thinking him also as their threat. He felt unhappy dat eventhough they were polite wid him they behave wid him in only professional way as if they got forgot dat their mothers were friends n they r also friends. He wondered how he will clear wid Zoya dat his feelings for her has not changed even after knowing his identity? How will he face her if they r alone?

At night, Rashid, Gaffur, Asad, Zoya, Anwar n Zeenat were in d office room.

"I have decide to make changes in d industry," said Asad.

"Wat changes?" asked Gaffur.

"Asad had told us there r no female employees in our industry which is very shocking. So, he has decided dat we will again interview d students for jobs," replied Zoya.

Rashid was happy wid d decision while Gaffur was unhappy.

"How can dis happen?" asked Gaffur, "No women ever worked in our industry."

"Then it will happen now, Mr. Siddiqui," replied Zeenat, "D company u r talking abt has been started by a woman itself dat is our mother n unfortunately ur 1^st wife."

Gaffur was more shocked.

"Does any one have problem wid dis?" asked Asad.

None said anything. Gaffur cud not protest.

"I think only u have a problem, Mr. Siddiqui. But it does not matter. We r really upset wid d way u were doing partially of male n females," said Anwar.

"Then we sud start d interviews in those colleges 4m next week," said Rashid.

"Fine," said Asad.

During dinner, Zoya again sat beside Zeenat while Asad was sitting between Ayaan n Anwar like during d lunch. Razia n Shirin were gossiping boring most of them.

"Bhabhi, our friend Nazneen's daughter is pregnant. Last month only, she got married a week after her 18^th birthday. She gave such a big news to everyone," said Shirin.

"Her husband Naseer is an engineer. His family was searching a girl for him 4m 3 years but atleast they got a nice girl 6 months ago wen Naseer turned 26. His family chose her n she did not went to college as d boy n his family did not wanted dat," said Razia.

Zeenat, Zoya, Asad, Ayaan n Anwar were shocked at their convo. Zeenat n Zoya gave W*F expression while lukn at each other.

"Nazneen's mother gave us such a good news n asked abt Ayaan, Nikhat, Nuzhat n Humeira's marriage. She told me dat they all have turned 18 n we sud think of their marriage," said Shirin.

"Ammi, mumani, we r getn bored of these talks," said Ayaan.

"Wat wrong we r talking?" asked Razia, "Nazneen got married n is pregnant at 18. But none 4m our house got married. U r 21, Humeira is 20, Nikhat is 19 n Nuzhat is 18."

"Unfortunately, we have one more unmarried girl in our house who is 24 n the other is married but at 28, her twin kids r only 3 years old. We also have an unmarried boy in our house who is 25 whose unmarried sister is 20," said Shirin.

Asad, Ayaan, Anwar, Zeenat n Zoya got annoyed.

"Will u stop making lists of unmarried people?" asked Asad.

"Yaa I am 28 n have 3 year old twins. So wat?" asked Zeenat, "I got married at 23 n got pregnant at 24. Anwar was not despo to start for kids as soon as we got married."

"So wat I am 24 n still unmarried?" asked Zoya, "Last month, I broke up wid my boyfriend of 2 years cuz I came to know dat he is not a nice guy but a jerk."

"Wat?" asked Nuzhat shockingly, "U had a boyfriend earlier? Dat means u will be a 2^nd hand to d man u will get married to."

AnZee n AsYaan got angry.

"Thanks for reminding me, Nuzhat baby," replied Zoya wid a smile, "Ur dear Nikhat too will be 2^nd hand to d man she will get married cuz her alliance got broken."

Nuzhat was shocked. AnZee n AsYaan's anger turned into smile.

"Zoya told clearly dat her ex-boyfriend was a jerk then also u asked such a stupid question, Nuzhat. Dis way, u not only insulted Zoya but Nikhat. I hope u don't ever get a jerk in ur life," said Ayaan.

Nuzhat lukd ashamed. Zoya sensed a caring n protective brother in Ayaan.

"Zoya was in a relationship wid a wrong person 4m 2 years. I did not knew dat. Glad dat, she did not remained wid d wrong person," wondered Badi Bi.

"Now plz, gossip abt marriage n all," said Ayaan calmly to Razia n Shirin.

Razia n Shirin did not said anything. All continued eating in silence.

After dinner, only youngsters were awake. They were watching cricket in d hall.

"Who gets married n pregnant at 18 in 2days's times?" asked Asad.

"Dat also avoiding college for marriage. Education is more important," replied Ayaan, "Dat couple has 8 years age difference."

"Its like d girl is in nursery and d boy is in 6^th standard. Its like d boy has turned adult and d girl is only 10," said Zoya.

"Why d boy's family may have chosen a 18 year girl just out of school for a 26 year old working man?" asked Ayaan.

"Its simple, Ayaan. D boy n his family may want a girl so young to make sure dat she may not had any previous relationships n may be even to make sure dat she is a virgin. U know na? Some boys r so crazy abt virgin girls eventhough they sleep around. Some guys n their families even do virginity tests where they whether d hymen is broken," replied Zeenat.

"In dat stupid case, I lost my virginity at 11 n di lost her virginity at 10 cuz of our karate lessons," said Zoya.

Nikhat was clueless abt most of d things while Nuzhat n Humeira were getn furious.

"Wat u all r talking abt?" asked Nikhat clulessly.

"Don't u both have shame dat being girls u r discussing such things even wid 3 men present?" asked Humeira furiously.

"Oh hello. Just relax. Okay. We r not talking in too deep," said Zeenat.

"By d way, biology classes me bhi to ladke ladkiyon saath me hi baithna padta hai na. Also, medical students of both d genders sits 2gthr in classes. So, just chill," said Zoya.

"Come on, its okay to talk all these things now since d elders r not present," said Asad.

"Wats wrong in getn married at 18?" asked Humeira.

"U seems to be so eagerly waiting for ur man as u r 18. Marrying so early means destroying ur lives. Dat Nazneen had to avoid college cuz dat boy n her family did not wanted dat. U know why? So dat d girl don't get higher education n be dependent only on d boy. And in future, if sumthn wrong happens she can't even leave him cuz she did not have proper education to get a job. Dat guy's family searched for a girl for 3 years n settled for a girl who was still minor at dat time. Both d families seems to be in too hurry for marriage dat they were just waiting for d girl to turn 18. Marrying so early is wrong cuz people r not mature in all d ways. At d age of studying, how can people marry wen they r not mentally ready for it? It causes so much stress n psychological problems. Nd getn pregnant so early is worse. It also causes a lot of stress cuz d body n mind r not prepared for it. In many cases, pregnancy complications can happen in early pregnancy cuz d bodies r not much strong n also those girls r so mature. D pregnancy complications can affect d mother or child or both. Its very dangerous to get pregnant so early. It's a real life not some romantic novel or romantic movie. So, u think logically," replied Zeenat.

"These types of guys wants to get married for only one thing. U all know wat I am talking abt," said Zoya.

"Wat u r talking abt?" asked Nikhat innocently.

ZeeYa were shocked to find her so nave.

"D thing which ur creep fiance was brainwashing u into," replied Zoya honestly.

Nikhat's mouth fell open in shock.

"U both r so boring. V r getn so embarrassed," said Humeira.

"But u all r not embarrassed wid d thought of getn married n pregnant at 18," said Zoya, "If u think we r boring then its ur opinion."

"U both r not boring. Its so good to discuss all these things sometimes," said Ayaan, "I can't imagine myself to get married before atleast 24."

"Asad bhaijaan, wat abt u?" asked Nuzhat, "U sud think abt ur marriage."

"Do u really think just by becumn of marriageable age we can easily get any girl? Zeenat di said right dat its real life not some romantic novel or romantic movie. I want to marry a girl who is mature, modern n independent working woman," replied Asad.

HumNuz r shocked hearing dis.

"Dat means girls like Zeenat n Zoya," said Nuzhat shockingly.

"Yes," said Asad.

"Bhaijaan, these girls r so arrogant," said Humeira, "U can see Zeenat n Zoya as examples."

Zeenat n Zoya stared at her in annoyance.

"Humeira, not only those girls but all types of girls r arrogant. But a little arrogance is fine," said Asad.

"Humeira, u r saying as if u r always soft spoken n gentle," said Zeenat wid a laugh.

"Yaa, she is as sweet as honey. But honey is also adulterated," said Zoya wid a laugh.

Humeira got annoyed. Anwar was interested in their talks but not getn involved in discussion n was only listening to all of them.

"Lets pay attention to only cricket now," said Anwar.

After watching cricket, all got up to go to their rooms. Asad n Zoya's rooms were next to each other. Before going to their rooms, they lukd at each other.

"Zoya, I hope u r so happy in dis house," said Asad sarcastically.

Zoya was shocked at his sarcastic statement n was hurt dat he was calling her Zoya instead of Titli eventhough no SM people r around.

"How is mausi n Najma?" asked Zoya to change d topic.

"They r fine. They r missing you a lot," replied Asad.

In a way, Asad was teln dat they did not liked her leaving their house d way she left them n how much they still love her. Zoya did not understood d true meaning behind his words. She did not knew wat to say to him after wat he replied to her question.

"Asad, its very late night now. I am feeling sleepy. Good night," said Zoya.

"Good night," said Asad.

Zoya went inside her room. Asad lukd at her going inside her room before he went inside his own room.

Next morning, Zoya wore a green churidar dress. All were sitting for breakfast.

"Wen you 4 r joining d office?" asked Rashid.

"2mrw," replied Anwar.

"I can't believe 2 girls will be working in SC," said Shirin disappointingly.

"Not only 2 girls but even more," said Anwar.

"Matlab?" asked Shirin.

"Matlab simple ki 4m now not only boys but even girls will be employed," replied Asad.

"How can u all employ girls in our company?" asked Razia shockingly.

"We r not living in 17^th century where only men worked. Times have changed. We all sud also change instead of getn stuck in 17^th century," replied Asad shutting Razia's mouth.

After breakfast, only youngsters r still sitting at d dining table.

"U both girls don't care abt abbu's reputation now u both will work in his company too," said Humeira wid disgust.

"Its much more of our company than ur abbu's," retorted Zeenat.

"He is ur abbu too," said Humeira.

"Unfortunately, he is our abbu. Vaise bhi bachpan me, tera baap hum dono behne aur humaari maa ko cheat karke teri maa k saath rangraliya manaata tha," said Zoya wid hatred.

Except AnZee, others were shocked wid her words but AsYaan then understood her anger.

"Wat language u r using for our abbu?" asked Humeira angrily.

"D language which he deserves," replied Zoya honestly.

"U people did not had parents. Dats why, u all have no manners," said Nuzhat furiously.

AnZeeYa got angry.

"How dare u say dat?" asked Zeenat furiously.

"Yaa, we both did not had parents so we have no manners. But u both always had parents n still u both don't have any manners. Luks like ur parents did not taught u d manners," said Zoya wid a chuckle.

"Just shut ur mouth," yelled Humeira.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Humeira baby got angry ha," teased Zeenat n laughed wid Zoya.

"Will u 4 stop ur fight?" asked Asad calmly.

"Fights like dis always happens n will keep on happening," said Zeenat.

"If u have any problem then u sud leave d house," said Zoya.

Asad is be shocked n hurt cuz how once she loved his company. But he made up his mind to not step back.

"I will live here only cuz dis house is mine also as much as urs n we r equal business partners," said Asad boldly.

AnZeeYa r shocked but r not unhappy. Ayaan smiles.

"Bhaijaan, u sud join d partnership wid abbu so dat ur 42% adds to his 16% n then wid 58% u all can easily throw away Farooquis," Humeira.

"Bhaijaan, baaji is right. U sud join d partnership wid mamu," said Nuzhat.

AnZeeYa as well as others r shocked.

"U both r fools to think dat Asad will join wid Mr. Siddiqui who he himself hates so much," said Zeenat wid a taunting laugh.

"If Asad even joins Mr. Siddiqui which is next to impossible then we have enough proofs to get Mr. Siddiqui is jail for his fraud n plagiarism. Then, u both can join him there," said Zoya wid an evil smile.

HumNuz r shocked n keep quiet knowing how powerful n smart Farooquis are. Asad is amused n impressed wid these grey n shrewd sides of Farooqui sisters.

"U both needs to grow up n behave maturely," said Zeenat staring at them.

HumNuz left d table annoyingly while ZeeYa smirked at them.

Scene shifts to d office room in SM. Asad enters d room n finds only Zoya there. She was lukn at a file. Wen she Asad, she kept d file on d table.

"Zoya, if u r still thinking abt Nuzhat n Humeira's words then let me tell u dat u don't pay attention to their words. I will not join Mr. Siddiqui," said Asad.

"U don't need to give any justification, Asad. I know u will not do anything wrong atleast to d people who r not wrong. I know abt u very well," said Zoya.

Asad was happy dat she trusted him in dis.

"U so easily forgot everything abt how we were friends, Zoya," said Asad.

Zoya was hurt as 4m d time he entered SM, he called her Zoya instead of Titli even wen none of d SM people r around.

"Now, u have got to know everything abt me n who is my father," said Zoya.

Asad was shocked to hear her statement. She trusted him dat he will not join Mr. Siddiqui or do anything wrong but she still has doubts on wat he is feeling abt her now.

"If u really want me to leave dis house then I will leave," said Asad.

"No need to leave dis house, Asad. I don't want u to think dat I am just like my father who don't want u to live in dis house. I don't want u to think dat I am bad like my father. I am not like my father who will snatch all ur rights," said Zoya in a cold tone.

She left d room leaving shocked Asad behind. He was very shocked wid her behaviour wid him. She was not rude wid him but still her words hurt him. She does not needs to prove him dat she is not like her father. He misses those times wen they were friends.

Precap: #Zeenat n Zoya r ridiculed by some men wen they enter SC for d 1^st time as no women worked there before. Asad who is d only one to come wid them to SC defends them saying d company they r working in has been started by a woman n dat woman is Zainab Farooqui. Z sisters especially Zoya istouched by Asad's gesture of supporting them.

#In d hall, Razia is lovingly feeding kheer to Humeira. Zoya recalls herself as 6 year old who used to cry after her mother's death teln her nana, nani n di dat she is missing her ammi feeding her wid her hands. She gets sad as well as angry remembering dat.

"Humeira, I can't believe ur ammi still feeds u wid her hands. U r still a small child," said Zoya in a taunting voice.

All r shocked. Razia n Humeira gets angry.

"How can u ridicule a bonding of mother and a daughter?" asked Humeira angrily.

"Whatever," replied Zoya wid attitude.

Zoya left d hall n walked in d corridor. Zeenat went after her. AsYaan too got up n decided to hear wat they talk by hiding.

"Zoya, kuch jyaada nahi hua?" asked Zeenat, "Vo humaari behen hai."

"Vo humaari behen nahi hai. Vo humaare ammi ki pati ki beti hai," replied Zoya coldly.

Zeenat n AsYaan were shocked. Then Zeenat laughed at her for copying Alia Bhat's dialogue 4m SOTY.

How do you all liked Zeenat and Zoya's character and attitude in this part?

Like for PMs😊
