PART 3 'Allah Miyan, what's wrong with me???' She called out as she cried aloud and najma passed another tissue to her from the tissue box while dilshaad tried to calm her down 'this is not fair phoppi... Mr.Khan can't do this to me... I thought he...he...' she complained but he interrupted 'what did I do to you Miss.Faroqui?' Asad asked as he came upstairs to dilshaad
'Asad...nothing beta..wo zoya to bus' dilshaad started but zoya cut her off 'no phoppi... let me tell him' she stood and came to asad standing in front of him 'you know what Mr.Khan I hate you... I hate you so much... you did wrong by breaking my heart...I thought you love me...I came here to win you, I was dreaming about us but you broke it all... so eager to marry that maria na... go and marry her and phoppi I am calling jeeju to book me the next flight for NewYork...I am not staying back anymore' she first bombarded on Asad and then informing dilshaad walked away from there
'Ya Allah...ye kia hogya... najma do something zoya can't go like this' dilshaad cried as she sat with her head in hands 'ami relax...I will talk to her..' 'asad ye tumne acha nahe kia' 'but ami what did I do...' 'what you did? She came here for u... sari kashtiyan jala kar aye the wo yhan, with a confidence that you do love her...' 'but ami she was getting married na?' 'No not at all...that was a lie...so that you can open up your heart and tell her what's in it' she said and give an unpleasant look to asad.. due to the stress she was having she failed to notice the smirk on her oh so intelligent son's face... a smirk of victory 'finally' he mumbled
'Ya Allah...why me...I thought the person I love, loves me too...even though i took time in realizing my love not like that Dhokebaz Ahmed Khan, all set to marry that chudail... now it's enough, I know he don't love me and no ways I am going to stay back even for a day...' she was in the garden complaining her Allah about what went wrong when someone sat beside her... she didn't even looked at who it was and kept on talking 'phoppi... please don't try to convince me on staying back...I can't see Mr.Khan getting married to someone else...you know I am an idiot because I thought that Mr.Khan can love me... Me? We are poles apart, he never liked me, my way of living my life, for him I was a girl with no tameez and tehzeeb within me... I am a manerless girl and a Musibat magnet that's what he calls me.. he isn't even wrong in thinking all this, this was my foolishness that I predicted too much' she kept on talking as a tear rolled down her cheeks but it didn't fell down
A hand came in front of her saving the pearl in his hands... 'Zoya you know your tears are very precious so just don't waste them' he whispered, her eyes widened as she faced him 'Mr.Khan ap ...' 'no let me speak first...so what do you think I think you are... yes, an ill mannered girl...without any tameez and tehzeeb... you are a right, my perspective about you were this only but as time passed I realized that you are not that kind of girl I thought you are... you have a beautiful heart..filled with love for people, care for everyone and I have heard somewhere that Mohabbat surat se nahe seerat se hoti hai...so Miss Zoya Faroqui I love you, your heart and the way you are because you are mine and only I can call you Musibat magnet... my personal Musibat whom i am ever ready to tolerate till my last breath' he said and chuckled
'Mohabbat...mujhse then what was that...maria's proposal and you even said yes?' Zoya asked confused 'hmmm well Miss Over Intelligent Zoya Faroqui only if you thought that If I live a life with no fun and that you can make me fool so easily so I want to tell you ke mazak Mjhe bhe karna ata hai' he replied 'mazak...' zoya repeated and along with her dilshaad and najma too who were watching them from distance 'of course mazak ami ... what did you thought ladies.. you will try to fool me and I will become one?' 'You mean bhaijan you knew that...' 'yes my baby tamatar I knew not from the beginning but thanks to you and your not so good plan'
'Ohh Hello Mr.Asad Ahmed Khan... what's wrong with our plan ...?' Zoya asked as it was all her plan 'calm down Miss.Over Intelligent Faroqui... well you guyz should have discussed what actually was the name of your dear fianc... last month when ami told me about you she said you are marrying to some guy murtaza, yesterday you said it's noman and then najma kept on teasing you with A...you guyz totally forgot the name and later yesterday...I was wide awake when najma came to check on me and then your secret meeting which unintentionally I became the part of...secretly' he said winking and the three were shocked
'Allah Miyan, what's wrong with us...how can we forgot the name we use' exclaimed zoya 'better luck next time ladies... ' 'bhaijan if you got to know then why didn't you confront us and what about Mr.Ajmal and maria...?' Najma asked 'they were my employees and as I said before I too should had a little fun after all you people have teased me for so long...' he replied 'no doubt Mr.Khan good plan... you are a player and it's gonna be fun to play with you' she said with an amusing smile 'mutual feeling Miss.Faroqui' he replied with a smirk 'acha ab bus kro.. this drama was too much for the day... now let's go and sleep...' dilshaad interrupted them and everyone retired back to their rooms
Later that night, zoya who was wide awake heard a knock on the door, unaware about who it could be she stood up and went to open the door and was shocked, Mr.tehzeeb Ahmed Khan is standing outside her room that too so late at night 'Mr.Khan ap...' 'Miss.Faroqui...umm zoya, mai yeh apke lie..' he started and stopped as he forwarded his hand with a box covered with a blue shiny sheet to her 'this...?' 'Wo actually it was Eid two weeks ago so I bought gifts for my family and even though that time I knew nothing about all this but I did bought something for you...' he explained 'as a family' and later added as she listened to him
'Shall I open it?' She asked with a wide smile on her lips 'go ahead' he replied and she smiling more widely started to remove the gift rapper and excitedly opened the box to find a black colour chiffon saari in it and it's border had a touch of pink... she took the saari in her hands and ran her hand ovet it 'Masha Allah... this is really beautiful Mr.khan... I couldn't believe you bought it for me...that's so sweet of you...' she said and then turning kept it back in the box and then the box on the bed
Her back was still facing him when she suddenly gasped as she felt him near her, very near, her breath hitched as her back hit his chest and then a moment later his hands were on her eyes 'there is something more I want to give you zoya' bringing his face near her ears he whispered and she remained quite in response not really able to utter a single word with the close proximity they were in... even though asad really didn't made her uncomfortable it was her own stupid heart which started to beat much faster then it should
She put her thoughts aside as asad removed his hands but before she can open her eyes she heard him telling her not to until he ask her... she slightly nodded and a moment later she felt something around her neck...he then turned her around and again nearing her whispered in his husky voice to open her eyes... she nervously gulped and then opened her eyes only to find herself standing in front of the mirror but something caught her attention almost immediately
There was a beautiful pendant around her neck... shining like a star, simple yet elegant, she held it in her hands and then looked towards asad through the mirror 'this is for me Mr.Khan' she said or rather asked and he nodded with a small smile that reached his eyes 'I had bought it for you long before but never got a chance to give it to you...but I found it a perfect chance to give this to it's owner...that's you... when I'd bought it zoya I did Imagined it around your neck, and it looked more beautiful after that...I hope you liked it' he told her and then asked 'liked it? I loved it Mr.Khan just like I love the person who bought it for me' she said happily and later blushed
He smiled at her way of confessing her feelings to him that too straight without thinking and fumbling, he adore her...
Intertwining there hands together he caressed her cheeks from his other hand 'Good Night Zoya' 'Good Night Mr.Khan' 'Good Night to both of you' they greeted each other but before they could move away from each other they heard dilshaad and were embarrassed as she stood by the door with her hand on her hips 'suna tha ke Mohabbat insan ko badal deti hai... but to such extent that my asad will be found in a girl's room at such late hours of night ... such mai ishq pe kise ka zor nahi' dilshaad joked as she came towards them and they hurriedly moved away from each other but there hands were still in touch 'I felt like checking on you people so that I can tell you the good news I just learned' she said excited like a teenager
'What is It ami?' Asad asked 'ohh well I called New York and so after a brief discussion with anwar and zeenat we all have decided to get you two married in next three weeks along with all rituals' dilshaad said 'with in just three weeks?' Zoya asked 'if it was in my hand I woulf have got you two married in next three hours but such over excitement shouldn't be good as anwar and zeenat have to be here so with a heavy heart we fixed it after three weeks... I am so happy' she explained and then hugged both of them later kissing there forehead lovingly
Asad and zoya looked at each other lovingly and then there eyes talked letting the other know that how happy they were with this decision of elders, dilshaad who was watching them smiled wholeheartedly and even though she wanted to tease her son and soon to be bahu more she decided against it and left them alone... she trusted them a lot and also knew that they want a little more time alone before they finally go back to sleep
'I promise to love you forever zoya...thank you for walking in my life again, thank you so much for giving me a chance to confess, to embrace it all wholeheartedly, today again my house became home, you made it home, and now with us being together we will keep all of us happy...life will be beautiful zoya' he said to her looking directly into her eyes, she stepped close to him and took his hand in her's 'life is beautiful asad... and we will make it more beautiful with every day we spend together, and I also promise Asad to love you forever...' he took another step close to her and took her in a loving hug...
They stood there in a hug like what felt like eternity and then finally parted away wishing each other good night, knowing that it will definitely be one of the best night as it's the beginning of their life, together...
They went to sleep...waiting for a new dawn, a new beginning and then for the day when they will enter into the sacred bond of marriage..the day is not far and of course they will cherish each day till then wholeheartedly too and then their life ahead
A new beginning is waiting for them
