CHAPTER 13
i know i was suppose to give you a teaser but due to lack of time i am giving you a direct update.
WARNING must read with tissue in hand 😆
Asad glances up from his medicine and sighs. "Khala i can take medicine please. You can go." He says grumpily.
"I can't son. Zoya has strictly warned me to not leave untill you finish with your tablets."
Asad groans and stares at space.
"Fine." He yells and gulps the bitter and wierd tasting ssymmetrically challenged tablets into his system.
Khala smiles at him and takes the glass in her hand. She keeps the tablet in the drawer and walks out of the room.
Asad sinks under the cover waiting in anticipation of his new doctor. Doctor farooqui.
The day he felt ill, he discovered the new side of his butterfly. She is plain paranoid.
She wont let him walk, stand and even if he stares she shouts him like a wife. All he could do is groan in her presence. But he couldn't complaint, asad actually started to like all the attention she was giving him. He smiled inwardly thinking about her when the door creaked open and she entered.
"Hi." She smiled.
"Hi." He said in daze.
"Had your medicine?" Zoya inquired taking quick steps. She soon stood beside asad keeping a hand over his forehead she checks temperature.
"Fever has died down." She says smiling.
"Asad now you are fine and the work is completed here. I think we should go now " she picks up pillow and keep it aside.
Asad felt like coughing hard on hearing that. This was not what he was expecting. He brought his hands over his head and groaned "asad? Asad?" Zoya called out in worry.
"What happened? " she leaned on him to make him sleep comfortable on bed. The close approximaty left asad's cheeks tainted.
"Uh..huh. Nothing . i feel like my head is spinning. " saying this asad brought his head near the gape of her neck. The tingling of his breath caused her to halt her breath.
"Uh.."she gulps. "Are you okay?" She brings her hand nervously at the back of his head. She felt her heart beat at faster rate, never did she thought he was in so bad health.
"Hmm. You can go if you want." He mumbled with lack of confidence.
Asad finally breathed heavily and rested his head on the pillow again. "Are you sure?" She asked tensed.
"Hmm. " he brought his hand over his face and shut his eyes.
Zoya watched him for few seconds before sighing and walking out of the door.
As soon as she left, asad sat straight on bed. "Damn she didn't buy it!" He angrily groans tossing pillow on floor.
"May be i should acted like dieng may be then she would have stopp-." He left his words hanging when the door fly opened and zoya walked inside with fastest pace.
"I know. I know. Okay." She beats him before he could even ask.
"You probably dont want me here. But i." She started to take heavy breathing " i can't leave you here all on your own. Now come what may you think. I am staying here with you till you dont get fine. " she kept her hands on her hips with a pout, " You and I will go back home together. Okay?" She looked unsure of his reply. Her eyes were full of hope. Asad peeped into the beautiful ocean and felt his lips turning upward.
"Okay?" She asked again to confirm. She looked so worried.
Asad so wanted to touch her brow and straightened it. He felt a sudden urge to hold her in a hug and never let her go. But something in him refrained him to do so.
He nods silently and instantly her face brightened up.
"That's great. " she clapped happily. "I will quickly go and get yout soup ready. After that we will go out for refreshment." She said and left the door.
Asad still smiled at her reforming form. She will be death of her...he smiled.
Latet the days passed by as the same. The slow movement of watch signified the slow progress in their relationship.
She didn't even realized when and how the same monster arrogant asad khan have become her habit. Its like the feeling in her had started to take control.
Zoya felt a little sad as the day had finally arrived when they were about to go back home. She checked asad's room but he was not there. She asked khala about his whereabouts but she was clueless.
Finally she texted him called him but he never answered her. Worries griped stronger in her gut and she went restless.
She started to panic and searched for him in every corner of the house she needed a clue so to reach him but even after searching everything she didnt get it she sighed in frustration and went to the balcony. She felt surprise to see asad standing in the backyard near his car. His hands were folded across his chest and his head was hang low in surrender.
Zoya blinks her eyes for a couple of time tilting her head so as to confirm he is there in real and not her imagination. When she got confirm about him being there she slowly started to walk to the backyard to him.
"You know i am not feeling right!" He said as he sniffed. His head was still angled on his chest and eyes were fixed on floor. She was surprise to know he recognized her without looking up for once.
"What? Why?" She had confusion written all over her face.
He leaned his back against the car and looked up to see her, "you don't feel the same?" He asked. His question holds many hidden hints which he was shooting at her.
Her expression said she caught one but still she remained silent letting her expression speak.
"I...i don't want to go home." He said surprisingly calmed voice.
Zoya stressed her brows together and looked at him with total puzzle, "why?" She asked cautiously.
Asad looked at her in disbelief and Angeled his body towards her. "Dont know." He sighed.
Zoya felt some sensation crawling in the pit of her stomach her heart beated fast and she started to feel her legs jelly.
"i..i...understand. " she could hear her voice all shaking.
Asad chuckled but his eyes reflected hurt , "that's all you could say to me? i understand!!?" He glanced at her face with those red eyes and zoya's self alarmed of awakening some torment today.
"I don't want your sympathy . if you can only say i understand." She looked into his eyes and could see the pain her words had caused him. But what has she said that hurt him?
"Don't look at me like you don't know anything." He accused and she felt like shrinking herself away from his eyes.
"I know you know what i am talking about!" He raised his voice at her angrily shooting glare in her direction.
"Please say something." He broke into whisper shutting his eyes tight.
Zoya didnt say a word as she began tp cry.
After a few minutes passed by i silent she finay opened her mouth, "what do you want me to say?" She looked at him vulnerable. She clearly felt his signal but her heart felt heavy to decode it and help her.
"What did i do asad? What did i say?" She began to tear up emotionally.
Asad felt like snatching his heair from scalp as he looked at her in disbelief. " you had caused a huge storm in my life and you are asking what did i do?" He walked to her in a humorous smile.
"You Cant be serious." He leaned closure to her lips and whispered.
"Understand something zoya. Understand this ..."he showed the space between them."this connection." He exclaimed.
"I don't get you." Zoya lied she knew somewhere in the corner of her heart what was he speaking about but she still kept silence not listening to herself.
"WHY?" SUDDENLY asad raised his voice in a pain hitting his car with his fist and leaving a permanent dent on it.
"Don't you feel anything?" He pleaded.
"Anything about us?" He kept his eyes lock as she bited her lower lips.
He stare at her in silent watching her take deel breath, "you are coward to admit it zoya."
"I am sorry" he laughed as tears fall.
"I wont bother you again." He brought his hEad and angrily started to hit the car. "Please. I care for y-."
He left his word incomplete and went straight to his car.
Zoya walked to him and he was all set to drive.
"Get here in 15 minutes we are going back." Sh heard him say meanly. Very soon she hurried herself and packing everything neatly she managed to come down.
She placed her bag and his bag iside the car and opened the door to sit beside him. Asad kept on looking in other direction and before she could say anything he picked up his ray ban glares from dashboard and started the car.
Zoya peeped out to say khala bye. Khala answered her with a knowing smile.
Zoya turned her attention to the car when she thought him say again, "i wish i had never met you."...
