Hey beautiful people! How are you all? Sorry for making you guys wait so long! Enjoy!

And oh in this chapter, I have visualized the previous Ayan, the Rishab guy.

Chapter 8

In the mazaar:

Asad's phone beeped.

"Is Ayan here already?"

"He says he will come in half an hour. Do you wanna go inside now?"

"Let him come."

"Okay."

After taking a few steps inside, Asad glanced at Zoya and said:

"Miss Farooqui...you know this is where I saw you."

Why was he feeling so emotional? Asad wondered.

May be because you don't know how much time you have with her Asad.

"Really? When? I thought we first met when your car hit me."

Asad rolled his eyes. And smiled. Still so full of herself!

"First of all, my car didn't hit you. You came in front of it. *Zoya rolled her eyes. Still so full of himself! But it didn't annoy her. She had grown to like his...akduness.* And no, that was actually the second time. Maine pehla aapko yahaan dekha tha. Mazaar mein. Aapke sarr pe ek kale rang ki shawl lipti hui thi. Thodi dari hui...thodi sahmi hui...lekin phir bhi bahut khoobsurat. Phir ek hawaa ka jhoka aaya, and aapke sar se woh shawl hat gayi. Aapke aankhon mein aanson the. Ansuon se ghiri dua maang rahi thin aap. It was the same day."

Asad sighed, shaking his head. Zoya Farooqui had no words...for the first time probably. She just stared at him. He looked at her. The feels!

*She still looks so beautiful and innocent! Yet there was something special about that day...the first time I felt something so strong. I had wanted her to be my bride. Who knew she would end up at my house, and I would end up falling for her even more...I can never tell you Zoya, I can never tell you how much you actually mean to you! I can't tell you that you are my life. *He smiled* But I know you know. You know me. I am so damn lucky to have you in my life. Probably I really don't deserve you...that's why all this! But I have learnt a lot from you. I am not going to give up. I am gonna fight till my last breathe. I am gonna fight for you, for us. I love you Zoya.*

*He is so adorable! Is he for real! How can he love me so much? How can anyone love someone so much! Really, how did I get this lucky? The judgmental guy I came across that day...who knew I would end up falling for him! And who knew he would turn out to be such a great person. He is so mature...and yet such a baby. I can never get enough of him. Mr Khan I know I am kinda immature, and...museebat magnet too, but in spite of all that there is this girl in me to whom you are everything. I am so damn lucky to have you. You are my life. And I am not gonna let anything happen to you. I love you Mr Khan.*

They looked at each other and smiled. Zoya held his hand and Asad put his arm around her and pulled her closer. The rush of feelings was overwhelming. Zoya put her head on his shoulder and they sat down, waiting for Ayan.

Zoya took hold of his hand and played with his fingers.

"Mr Khan...it is going to be fine."

"He is just a kid. I dunno how he would handle it."

"He will be fine too. Main hoon na!"

Asad smiled at her sadly.

"Mr Khan...trust me. And sochiye, he would come to know one day. So better aap use bol dein."

"Jee. Zoya should I tell Nikhat and Nuzhat too?"

"Them...and your Abbu"don't look at me like that! Mr Khan, please...no matter what, he is your Abbu. I don't know what happened back then, I just know that he loves you. But ultimately it's your choice. I am not gonna force you."

He held her hand tightly. After few minutes,

"Miss Farooqui...you know back then, we used to be a very happy little family. We were not rich or anything, but we were happy. Everything was going great. I was very close to Abbu...we used to play cricket, play pranks on Ammi, have so much fun...and then he brought Ayan. I was only a kid back then, I was so happy to have another kid in our home. I saw that Ammi and Abbu had some problem...but I didn't understand much. Ayan was so tiny, and cute...he would roam around me all the time! It was like I was his everything, he became everything to me. He is like my baby, and then Najma came. Our home was filled with happiness again. We all were great. And then...I remember it so well. It was Najma's first birthday. Me and Ayan, we had got balloons and everything, we had decorated the whole house...Abbu had even planned a trip to a hill station. Everything was set, and then all went wrong. It was like our life was turned upside down. Abbu left us, he left us for money...and for some other lady! You know he wanted to take me and Najma away too. He wanted Ammi to be left all alone. I can't believe how he could think of it. I used to believe that in the whole world, Ammi Abbu were the people who loved each other the most. But I turned out to be so wrong. He took Ayan...Ayan didn't wanna go, I didn't want him gone! It was so hard Zoya...it's like your life is all perfect, and the next moment everything changes. Your Abbu leaves your Ammi for money and someone else. He takes your brother. You are the eldest one. Your Ammi is heartbroken. Everyone is suddenly so interested in you. The people who used to be your family friends look at you so weirdly. And...you know how it is. Najma probably told you...he would bring his kids in cars, and we would walk to school. We were not allowed to talk to each other. Ayan used to try talk to me, but I was so full of anger. I was jealous...I would avoid him like anything. Then one day, he got into a fight. Just to get me to talk to him. Can you believe that guy? He is such a baby. I had to go scold him like anything. Then he hugged me and said "Bhaijaan I am sorry...please talk to me. I miss you." He was crying...I couldn't take it anymore. I was already feeling so guilty for taking it out on him, I just picked him up and scolded him a bit more. And he was grinning like a fool! Such an idiot...He used to get his toys, toffee, food and all for Najma, he would play with her and all...they were my cutie pies! And you know, Abbu would see us time and again, and look away like he never saw us, like he were just strangers...until the day I opened my company. He called me that day to congratulate. I was so angry, and yet a small part of me was happy...I couldn't help it. I miss my Abbu, the man he used to be. This guy, he may be the same person. But he is not my Abbu. I may not help loving him, but I can never respect him. I can never accept him again. He left us when we needed him the most. He betrayed us, and I can never forget it. Ammi still grieves for him. At nights when she used to work, or when we slept...she would cry so much. I can never forget those things Zoya. My Ammi has gone through hell because of him. Najma, Ammi, Ayan, me...what was our fault? Ultimately it is fault, and he would never own up to it. He would blame the circumstances...I know the kind of man he is."

"Mr Khan...I am not asking you to forgive him or anything. I know he wronged you. But the thing is what's the use being bitter about it now? I know it's hard, but you can start trying. Try letting it go. Like you said, the guy who used to be your Abbu, he is gone. The past is gone. The present is here. Past was bad, but why spoil our present and future for it? Why let the past cripple our present? You need to accept the truth now Mr Khan. How would you like to spend your life? Being sad about how your past was so unfair, or trying to make new memories, enjoying little things in life? You have a wonderful family, you have money, you are talented, and you look quite handsome too, and basically you have me, you have Zoya Farooqui! Life has so much to offer to you and you are gonna explore all that! I will make sure of that..."

"Let's see if I live that""

"Mr Khan!!! What have you learnt from your past? No matter what, you never give up. And you would be successful. We would get out of this mess Mr Khan. Allah Miyaan itne bure nai hain you know! And"no, don't say anything!"

Asad held her by shoulders.

"Zoya you are not seeing the reality"listen! We don't know what would happen. And that's the truth. Zoya what if something happens? What if I am gone? Would you be able to handle it? I don't want you to suffer. Not you, not Ammi, Najma or Ayan, or anyone. You guys have suffered enough. I don't""

"Don't be such a jerk okay! I love you Mr Khan...we love you! And don't you ever think like this again. Nothing would happen to you."

"Zoya for God's sake I have cancer!"

"Cancer""

The voice from behind startled them. They looked back to see Ayan staring at them, his mouth hanging open. Asad Zoya looked at each other. They had been so engrossed, they didn't hear him coming.

Asad got up and put a hand on his shoulder.

Ayan shook him.

"Bhaijaan aap kya bol rahe hain? Cancer?"

"Ayan...sit down. Baith ke baat karte hain."

"Bhaijaan no first tell me. Zoya what crap is he saying?"

"Ayan...meri baat suno."

"Just tell me bhaijaan...did I hear you correctly. You said you had cancer."

"Ayan""'

"Just tell me Bhaijaan!"

Asad blinked a few times and nodded.

"Bhaijaan you are joking, right? Kya hai yeh? I don't like this joke Bhaijaan. Kya Zoya ke saath mil ke kuch bi bol rahe ho. Zoya tell him to stop it. It's annoying."

Tears ran down her eyes.

"Zoya why are you crying? Bolo bhaijaan ko. Bhaijaan why are you crying? Mukka Ahmed Khan hoke how can you cry? Bhaijaan""

Asad pulled him into a hug and hugged him tightly.

"Ayan...calm down. Ayan...it's okay. I will be fine. Mujhe kuch nahi hoga. Mujhe kuch hua toh who will save the world from you? Nothing will happen to me. Ayan""

Sobbing hard, Asad tried to console Ayan. Ayan was not ready to accept it. His Bhaijaan was always so arranged in his life. How could he have cancer? It was impossible. He had come to meet his Bhaijaan, tease him a bit and have fun. What the hell was happening? But slowly, the truth was sinking in.

*Bhaijaan has cancer. He has cancer. CANCER. My Bhaijaan has cancer. He probably has every feeling bottled up inside. And I am behaving like a baby. I can't break down. I need to be strong. He will not tell anyone, but he must be worried to death. Ayan stop it. Stop crying. Talk to him. Encourage him. He will be fine. He is my Bhaijaan. Nothing will happen to him. He will be alright. Now stop! Talk to him.*

"Bhaijaan...when did you come to know?"

"Ayan""

"And when is the treatment gonna start? Maine suna hai they have very advanced stuff these days for cancer."

Asad stared at him in wonder. When did his Ayan grow up so much? Zoya smiled at him through his tears.

She turned to go. The brothers needed their bro time.

"Mona darling where are you going? Suna maine kya chal rha aap dono ke beech...stay. *Zoya hugged him* Oh my"what are you doing? That's so creepy."

Zoya just laughed. The three of them smiled.

"We are going to talk to the doctor in the evening. We will go for the best treatment."

They discussed about it for an hour or so. Then they went to the mazaar.

Asad: Ya maula...I know I have blamed you many times. Kya karoon, I had nobody else to vent my anger at. I know ki maine bahut galtiyaan ki hain life mein, but please give me another chance. And if not for me, look at Ammi, Najma, Ayan and Zoya. They would be devastated. Please Allah Miyaan...

Ayan: Allah Miyaan aapko pata hain mere Bhaijaan meri zindagi hain. Please don't take him away from him. You have seen how much he has suffered in his life. I am no one to judge, but you are being so unfair. Kitna dukh doge unhe Allah Miyaan? Please mere bhaijaan ko theek karr do. I will never ask for anything.

Zoya: Allah Miyaan in spite of everything, I have always trusted you. You are my best friend. I am not blackmailing you or anything, but please Allah Miyaan...he is my life. Mr Khan means everything to me. Don't take him away! Let him live his life...please! I beg you. I don't need anything. I don't need my Abbu...or anything. I just need my family-Mr Khan, Phupi, Appi, Jeeju, Najma, Ayan-to be happy. Please please please Allah Miyaan!"

Asad opened his eyes and stared at Zoya praying on the other side, her eyes closed, tears running down her eyes.

Allah Miyaan! Look at her...some months back, she came to you like this. You listened to her. That girl trusts you like anything. Aapka naam ek din mein pata nai kitni baar leti hai woh. I know I am being selfish...but well you know me. You know how I feel Allah Miyaan!

Zoya opened her eyes and looked at him. She smiled at him. He smiled back.

Rashid: Dilshad sab theek ho jaega. Humare bte ko kuch nai hoga.

Dilshad: Humare bte? Rashid aapne humain chhod diya tha. Jise aap aaj "apna" beta bol rahe hain, aap use paise aur ek aur aurat ke liye chhod ke chale gaye the. Kabhi socha hai what he has gone through? Have you ever though about how it has affected him? How much it troubles him? And the worst thing is he is always afraid that he would turn out like you because he has your blood running in him. I never told you everything, but don't you dare think that I will ever forget what you have made my children go through.

Rashid: I"I am sorry. I know it's not enough. But I can't go back in past and change anything now.

Dilshad: You are"forget it. I think I should leave now.

Rashid: I will come.

Dilshad: Asad won't...

Rashid: Dilshad I want to see him once. Please.

Dilshad: You can see him"

Rashid: Dilshad please...

Phew! Done!

How was it?? Comments please!

And guys, Asad's doctor is going to be Siddhartha Mukherjee. Does any of you want him to be a friend of Zoya? Or not? Let me know.

And I wanted to write the Rashid-Dilshad convo, but Asad opening up to Zoya was kinda spontaneous. I didn't feel like writing about Rashid after that.

Just reliving some memories--

Crazy old days hunz!

Preeti <3

P.S. Let me know about Siddhartha Mukherjee thingy.

And yes, I haven't proof read. Sorry. Please ignore the errors.

🤗

Hey Preeti...😃
Well aren't you sending P.M's for this..? 😕
Well this update was Emotional , Well written and a very good part... ⭐️ 👏
ASYA visitng Dargah , Asad remembering that first meeting again...whenever we read those lines about that meeting it is like the scene is playing out infront of us...its magical... 😃
Asad's confession & outburst about his father and his ill-fated past was needed i gues...here.😊
Zoya being a true & strong willed companion listened to it...and gave him the support & love which he outright needs now...
Ayaan was a suprise for me...his scene with Asad and a little part with Zoya was perfect for me...
All three of them praying for eachothers...
I guess Dilshaad was right in not forgiving him...but lets see what's in store for them...
Brilliant part...
Plzz...Continue soonish...
😳

It's awesome loved it
