PART 1A young girl is walking down the stairs elegantly wearing a beautiful yellow saree.
Today is the haldi of Genelia Khan and Nihal Raheem, two of the young girl's best friends.
"Zoya!"
The girl turned around and looked at her mother.
"Yes mom?"
"Come on! We need to hurry! Get everyone downstairs, you and I are supposed to get there early for all the preparations!"
"I know ma, how about we leave now and the others can come later?"
"Kyun? What's the point of going in two cars? You will be so tired by the end of the night, you wouldn't want to drive all the way home. I would end up driving your car."
"Uff ma, Najma will take another hour to get ready, aur sab early ja kar kya karenge? Plus, kal meri ek exam hai, so mein waise hi meri car lekar jaani wali thi haldimein, kyunki mujhe ghar jaldi aa kar parni hai"
Her mom's eyes widen and she begins yelling, "Kya!?! Kal tumhari exam hain?"
"Haan, iss mein chilane wali baat kya hai?"
Her mom, Navya, puts her hand on her heart and starts talking to herself, "yeh larki bilkul pagal hai, hai rabba, kuch toh madat karo"
"Uffo ma," Zoya says as she drags Navya out the door.
"Zoya! Tum kahan thi?" aks the bride to be's mother, Anila.
"Sorry aunty, I was getting ready. Why do you look so tensed?"
"Genelia abhi tak taiyar nahi hui"
"Kya!?!" exclaims Navya, "I thought she would be dressed and ready to go by now!"
"She went to the parlor, but she isn't wearing the outfit yet, because Zoya wasn't here" Says Anila.
Zoya starts giggling and makes her way up the stairs.
Genelia's Room
Zoya walks into the room saying, "Oye, kal meri exam hai, so obviously mein tumhe taiyar nahi kar sakti. Toh kal tum kya karogi?"
Genelia- *gives Zoya a hug* "I am more than capable of dressing myself"
Zoya- "acha? Then y did you want to wait for me to get dressed today?" *picks up the outfit and begins helping Genelia*
Genelia- "kyunki kal toh tum exammein raho gi, so kaal tumhara bridesmaid duties se chutti hai. So maine socha ke aaj mein tumse extra duties doongi."
They both start laughing and take half hour for the bride to get ready.
Zoya- *looks at Genelia with tears in her eyes* "Allah miyaan, you look so pretty!"
Genelia looks and herself and then lowers her eyes blushing.
The party celebrations have been going on for 2 hours...
Navya is talking to her friend Dilshad, when Zoya walks over.
Zoya- "Salaam Aunty" *smiles*
Dilshad- *smiles back* "Salaam bethi, kaise ho?"
Zoya- "Main theek hoon, aur aap?"
Dilshad- "Main bhi theek hoon" *puts a loving hand on Zoya's cheek*
Zoya- *looks towards her mom* "Ma main ja rahi hoon, mujhe study karni hai"
Dilshad- "Kya? TUM itni jaldi ja rahi ho? Kyun thori dher ruhko na"
Navya- "Dilshad, use jaane do, iss pagali ki kale kaal exam hai, aur agar who pass nahi hui toh meri haath ka thappar milegi isse."
Dilshad- *chuckles* "Don't worry, humari Zoya hamesha top mein hoti hai! I am sure ki iss bar bhi top main hogi who"
Zoya smiles and hugs them both a quick goodbye.
Dilshad- *looking at Zoya hugging Genelia* "It's sad that we have been close family friends for over a year and Zoya and Asad still haven't met."
Navya- "I agree, kismet bahot ajeeb hai" *watches Zoya leave*
"Kya dekh rahi hain aap dono?" asks Asad sneaking up on the two ladies.
"Asad!" they both yell.
Asad- *bursts into laughter* "Sorry! Main bhool gaya, aap dono easily sacred ho jaate hain."
Navya- *sighs* "Tumhara timing hamesha galat hota hai"
Asad- "Kyun?"
Dilshad- "Zoya just left, uff, at this rate the two of you will never meet."
Asad- "Mom, agar kismet mein likha ho, toh I am sure that ek din hum dono ek dusre koh meet karenge."
