THIS IS NOT RELATED TO QH STORYLINE
ZOYA was standing in her balcony crying
She was missing him badly today
She wanted to be in his arms at this moment but she knew it
was not possible
Her thoughts went
back to 5 years ago
When she had met him for the first time
5 YEARS AGO
LOCATION-MOUNT ABU, RAJASTHAN
A girl in her early 20's was standing on the bank of a river
enjoying the cool breeze
Suddenly she felt a push and the next second she was inside
the river screaming her lungs out for help
After few seconds she found herself in arms of a young and
charming boy
.
The boy rescued her from getting drowned. He was asking her
whether she was okay or not and was continuously apologizing to her. She was
not concentrating on his blabbering; her eyes were fixed on his face-shining
jet black hairs, face having deep brown eyes to die for and a stubble
highlighting his facial features.
ASAD-hey miss!!!Where are you lost??? He asked snapping in
front her eyes breaking her trance
ZOYA-huh! She came back to her senses and uttered
ASAD-I asked are you okay?
ZOYA-I...umm...ye...ah I am fine she replied a little
embarrassed on her own act she then thanked him and smiled
She further added "Milne do us kambhakht ko jisne mujhe
dhakka diya chhodungi nahi use samajhta kya hai apne aap ko! uski chatni na
bana di to mera naam bhi ZOYA nahi" she huffed angrily
Asad gulped on seeing the fierce girl standing in front of
him, it looked like she will rip off the head of that person due to whom she
fell in the river as soon she will find him
ASAD-umm... well... I wo...
ZOYA could sense his hesitation
"Are! Tell me na what do you want to say." she asked annoyed
Asad-"wo actually...i was just saying that you should just calm down
You are telling me to calm down?zoya gave him a deadly glare
"I mean how will you find that person amongst so many people here, and one should not waste their precious time in something unimportant." He explained
Hmm... I think you are right.she said
He took a sigh of relief
BTW my name is ZOYA and yours? She asked extending her hand
for a handshake
ASAD AHMED KHAN he said and shook hand with her
They both started returning to their camp sites together
So are you here on a college trip? He inquired
Yes I am from subodh girls college,Jaipur and you?
I am from DAV boy's college, Udaipur he said
All the way long they kept asking about each other
ASAD got to know that ZOYA was studying fashion designing
and he told her about his dream of becoming a successful businessman and that they both were in final year
They reached their camp sites which were coincidently near
to each other
Bye!ZOYA said waving at him while going inside her tent
AT NIGHT
"Ok girls meet Mr.sharma my college classmate" Mrs.chauhan
said introducing Mr.sharma to her college students
Hello sir! the girls said
"Hello I am here with my college students and after so many
years I met my classmate" he said smiling and looked towards Mrs.chauhan
"Okay girls we have decided that we will have an inter
college badminton competition tommorow Morning after breakfast." Mrs.Chauhan announcd
Wohooo...everyone hooted together
MORNING
The first match was between ASAD and ZOYA
ASAD was leading already this was ZOYA'S last chance to
score
As soon as ASAD sereved ZOYA looked up to him with a
challenging gaze but that proved to be the biggest mistake for her
ASAD winked at her and blew a flying kiss towards her
ZOYA's mouth formed a perfect O she stared asad in
disbelief and missed the shot
Everyone from ASAD's college started shouting on their
victory
With that noise ZOYA came back to reality
ASAD came near her and whispered in her ear "you
lost!everything is fair in love and war"
"You cheater"ZOYA huffed and stomped her foot on ASAD's
Ouch...ASAD shrieked in pain
ZOYA gave him a "you deserved that" look and went away
AT NIGHT
ZOYA was sitting near her tent infront of the bonfire
engrossed in a deep thinking
Just then a hand emerged infront of her eyes
She looked at her side to see the person and it
was none other than asad
She turned her head to another side
"I am not talking to you" she said with a cute pout on her
face
He took her hands and placed a beautiful pair of ear ring on
them
"I am really sorry zoya trust me I just wanted to have some
fun winning the game really didn't matter to me"
"But I wanted to win that game and take these ear rings away
I don't want them" she said and threw the ear rings away
asad sighed and started searching them, after whole 10
minutes he finally found them,he picked them up and went near her again
He started doing sit-ups while holding his hears
zoya didn't like this stupidity so she signaled him to stop
He stoped and sat beside her and said
"These are for you, I heard you talking to your friend about
how would you look in them so I thought that I should give them to you and ask
for forgiveness"
She looked towards him with a surprised expression.she was about to say something but what he did the next moment silenced her
"And the answer is beautiful "he said huskily, putting an
ear ring in front her left ear
zoya blushed
So am I forgiven?he asked with a smirk
PLEASE..HE SAID HOLDING HIS EARS
"Yes..." zoya said softly
"I am sorry too" zoya said after a pause
"Sorry For what?"He asked
"For that little stunt of mine"she said pointing at asad's
foot
"Oh that I really didn't mind it,I deserved it"he laughed
She smiled sheepishly
"So can we become friends?"asad asked extending his hand
for a handshake
Hmm...ok! let us be Friends. zoya replied and shook hand
with asad
"So how many people are there in your family" asad asked
after a pause
He could see her face falling and her body stiffening
"I don't have a family.i am an orphan
I was brought up in a madarsa according to them they found
me on their madarsa' doorstep."she said controlling her tears
"They named me zoya because I was like a new light in their
lives .they love me lot."she smiled through her tears{br]
"Daijaan and farooqui uncle are closest to me." she said
wiping her tears
asad was dumbstruck this girl was so sad from inside but
looking at her liveliness no one could point it out
And...what about you? She asked him
I live with my mom and my younger sister. My dad died when I
was 10 in an accident he said tearing up
"Ohh I am sorry I dint mean to..." she said
No its okay! He said in between
"I think I should go now it's very late and it won't be good
if someone finds us together at this time. Goodnight"
She nodded understanding his point
NEXT MORNING
It was the time to return to their respective cities
zoya was looking towards his camp site but couldn't spot
anyone
Hey zoe! What are you looking for there? One of zoya's
friends asked
Wo, where are the students of that college with whom we
played badminton? zoya asked her
Are...! they left early in the morning only! Her friend
replied
Oh...zoya sighed sadly. She took out the ear rings which he
had given her and caressed them
AFTER 4 MONTHS
zoyar passed her final year with flying colors she got admission in one of the India's most prestigious MBA College too
It was her first day of college
She was walking in the corridor she heard someone calling her name
She dismissed it thinking it as a fragment of her imagination
But the sound grew louder she turned back and found asad in front her
Tum? zoya exclaimed with a surprised expression
He just smiled and shrugged his shoulder
That's strange! We are meeting after so long and you won't say a hi also?he teased her
She came out of her surprised state and said hello to him
She found out that he will be her classmate for the next two years
As time passed by they got to know each other better, they used to share a special bond and then on the day of their convocation asad proposed her and they got married.Farooqui uncle became zoya's guardian for their nikah.Everyone from zoya's orphanage was over the moon that she has got a life partner like asad.
BACK TO THE PRESENT
zoya's trance was broken when she heard the door of her bedroom creaked open
She got scared
Who's there? She asked
Just then the light flicked on and she took a sigh of relief as she saw him, she ran and hugged him with all her might
"It looks like someone was missing me very badly." he teased her
"ASAD!!You scared me."She smacked his arm
"You were supposed to come tomorrow from your business trip no?"she asked
"Yes biwijaan but how I could miss to be with you on this day, the day we met for the first time." He smiled
"And what's this zoya you were crying? It was you only who forced me to go so that I don't miss this opportunity"
"Yeah I know it was your dream project wasn't it asad? And I guess it's just the pregnancy hormones which are making me over emotional." She said caressing her five months old baby bump
asad kneeled down and kept his palm on her belly, and talked to their unborn baby. "Hello baby! Your abbu is back, did you miss me?"He kissed her stomach and she smiled at this
"Where's ammi and najma?" He enquired while standing up
"Ammi has gone to attend her friend's daughter's wedding and najma has gone to her friend's house for group study."she replied
"But how can they leave you alone and go in this condition?"asad got angry
"Relax asad! they were not ready to go but I forced them, look asma chachi is ammi's best friend and it wouldn't have looked nice if ammi wouldn't have been present there on her special day and najma's finals are coming so she needs to complete her syllabus, and don't worry I have talked to her friend's mom, you trust her na? She asked taking his hands in hers
"I trust her but that's not the thing zoya. How many times I have told you to take care of yourself you never listen to me. "He said in a little disappointed and tensed tone
"Hey... don't get upset look we are fine." she said hugging him
"Let's go it's time to take rest. You shouldn't be awake this late." he announced and picked her up in his arms and moved towards the bed
She rolled her eyes at his overprotective nature
Its only 10 PM asad...She whined
Don't argue with me. He said placing her on the bed
He then lay beside her, he was about to switch off the lights when she spoke
"asad I am not feeling sleepy. She said intertwining their hands and kept them on her stomach
Hmm...ok then I will ask you a question and you will have to answer it. Ok? He told her
That sounds interesting. Ok shoot! She said getting all excited
He chuckled at her childish antics
What do you think zoya? Was our love, love at first sight'? He asked her
"Well, I won't deny the fact that I was attracted towards you when I first saw you, but that was not which made me fall for you."She replied honestly
Really? Then what it was? He asked
I don't believe in love at first sight, there is always a phase before love
I really don't know when I fell for you, exactly, but there was something in your nature which used to attract me towards you, when we were studying together, I loved to do things for you, when you used to get happy, it used to make my heart fill with an unknown joy too
You were always there to help me, to support me. You were the one who encouraged me to setup my own fashion house, you were always there to care of me, initially I thought of it only as a friendship but the day you were hospitalized courtesy to your stupid boxing tournament, I was scared to lose you, the thought of something happening to you stirred a different emotion inside me I was feeling that my life is going to end and when doctors told that you were fine I felt myself living again and that's when I realized that it was love. She explained him
And what do you think? She cross questioned him
He thought for some time and with his eyes fixed on their intertwined hands answered "it has been always' LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT' for me zoya, I never told you this, I actually saw you for the first time when you were helping a small tribal girl in rescuing her goat which had fallen in a pit. That smile on your face after you saved that goat was so enchanting and selfless, that day the guy due to which you fell in the river was me.I wanted to talk to you and my friends caught me staring at you but I was hesitant, , reality is that they were actually pressurizing me to talk to you and in that attempt they pushed me towards you and that's how you ending up falling."
"mujhe mere pyar pe pura yakeen tha ki agar mera pyar saccha hai to hum dobara zaroor milenge and see we are married today"
"And trust me that love has only increased with each passing second."
He finished explaining and look towards her to see her reaction but he saw her sleeping peacefully with a contented smile on her face
He smiled and kissed her forehead carefully not disturb her he brought his face near her belly and whispered "baby!i guess it will be a little secret of ours, don't let your mommy know about my story.ok?"
And with that he drifted off to sleep dreaming about their beautiful future together with their baby.
