Chap 4 A promise as a burden

She waited impatiently to hear the voice of the other side, it was her best chance.

-Hello?

-Thank God Humeira you are still here, she sighed in relief finding her savior.

-ZOOOYAAA FARROOOQQUIII, she yelled in the phone forcing Zoya to take away the handset from her ears, WHERE WERE YOU FOR GOD SAKE? I was so worried, I tried to call you a HUN-DRED TIMES, but I always fell on your voice message, how can you do this to me? I was hell worried about you, you are all alone there, in foreigner country, alone, with weirdo business man that no one knows, you just make me CRAZY, it has been 2 days now, and you call only NOW, oh no, I am not going to spare you Zoya, you know me, when I am mad, I AM REALLY MAD, I AM MAD AT YOU, really mad, mad mad. Zoya tried to protest but she couldn't place a single word. You are totally irresponsible girl, I should have come with you, but no, you decided to go by your own, who you think you are? A modern princess going to fight alone the monster. We have it here, this stupid monster who forced you to go far from here. Why don't you talk now? Hello are you on line? Hello? You re better be on line or I swear I will take the first ticket to reach you, Zoya, are you still here?

-Yes, she said it quickly before she could start her monologue again.

-why don't you talk then? Are you deaf? Or what?

-How do you expect me to talk when you didn't stop to talk for a second? Actually, I don't know how you are still able to talk for so long without breathing, you are out of this world, Humeira sweetheart. She tried to soothe her mood.

-ha ha, it was supposed to be funny to light my mood or it was supposed to make me forget your rude behavior? I am still mad; and you know what you are NOT funny girl, hugh, please, I was the funniest one, do you really need me to remind you? You were always playing the bad girl and I was the good girl, until today.

-you like to put yourself in trouble and I was just here to fix. At the end, I was the dragon protecting the princess.

-it was the good time, I used to love how they looked scared seeing you, it was so funny

-guys are useless, Humeira

-not all of them, some are worth

-really? I am not sure about this theory, good men are like Santa clause, we talked about but we know that they didn't exist

-Ya Allah, just guess, if I was a guy, would have fall in love with me?

-Of course not

-dare to explain

-because you would have been a jerk and idiot, so of course, I would NOT have fall in love with you

-that's good point

-see, I am not only a dragon, I can crake some good jokes, she laughed alone

-Na-ah, you are only good in sarcasm, Zoya

-are you friend with Ayaan or what?

-Who's Ayaan?

-No one, forget it, Humeira I need your help, I need to bake some cake for Mister Khan. Surprisingly, Zoya didn't hear any sound from the other side, Humeira, are you still here? Humeira? Hello?

-Sorry, I was under the shock of what you were asking me for, do you want to prepare food for... Mister Khan? For the man who was supposed to save you? I mean seriously, you know there is other solution to reach what you want from him, you don't need to kill him, at least wait until he signed the contract.

-Humeira, do you really think it's my idea, he wants me to bake for him

-please tell me you didn't say yes, please?

-I said yes

-She said yes, oh God, she said yes, but why did you say yes stupid girl?

-He was testing me, I couldn't say no,

-you know what just come back here, he will never eats your cake, actually, no he will even not enter his house for days, because of the smoke that he will have in his house.

-Humeira come on, I am not that bad, I know how to cook

-Zoya, you can burnt a boiled water, this is a suicide test.

-Zoya never gave up, Humeira begum, you should know about and you know what is the best part of my success, Humeira hummed, it's you sweetheart, she heard her sigh in defeat

-ok, FI-NE, but first I want to know everything. It was Zoya's turn to sigh, from when she should start, from a meeting with mister beast and how it appeared to be her lucky encounter to finally come to this unbelievable test. She didn't hide anything and told her what she asked for, avoiding to talk about the erotic book and their embrace on the bed. She can't say those thing, humeira will never leave her in peace.

-WOW, I mean WOW, I must say, it was really an adventure, but you didn't tell the important thing, how does he look like?

-Asad ? He is fine, I am sure you will like him

-I am not talking about this one, I am talking about the other one, is he handsome? Zoya could feel the teasing tone of her friend.

-He is jerk, stupid, arrogant, selfish, the most annoying man I've ever seen in my life

-Zoya farooqui complimenting a man, I can't believe that I am still alive to hear you talking about a man like this. You definition about a men used to be weird sound, mixed with frustrated growling, I am really proud of you, at least your definition change and you are saying coherent words. It's a huge step, I am very proud. Finally, Jiju has come in your life.

-Rubbish!!! Hell to you Jiju, you misunderstood Humeira, I will never compliment any men in my life

-this is exactly my point, no men dare approaching you, even for asking for the time. It's written on your face: I bit.

-it's not my fault, if there were scared of me and they didn't dare stand in front of me.

-but I feel this one wasn't scared, am I right?

-this is what annoying me, he was like enjoying, he is such a sadistic man. When I gave him only cold shoulders, he laughed like...Like... He was impressed at all. I mean after 2 words I always put any men KO, but him NO. what kind of men will accepted to face a girl like me? Tell me Humeira.

- You have just found the perfect reflection of you, crazy and fearless. Maybe he likes you?

-of course not, likes me? He must be crazy or hungry? Hugh, please, I hope not. I can't be with a man like him and I don't like him.

-I didn't ask you if you like him Zoya Farooqui? She stammered at her friend's remark and went back to the main point of her call.

-listen Humeira, I call you to help me, can you or not?

-Do you really think I will let you down? Zoya smiled at her close friend, she knows Humeira from lodging school, and quickly, it didn't take a time for them to share a strong bond. Humeira was the sister that she hadn't. Both of them were totally opposite, Humeira is a girly with cheerful nature while Zoya was crazy and impulsive one. Humeira was the only person who knew how to deal with Zoya's short temper. Zoya was overprotective of Humeira, she was always there to help after any heartbreaking. Zoya never understood how guys can treat her friend badly, and since those moment, Zoya developed a commitment phobia. What kind of cake you want to do?

-I don't know just give me something easy to do and I'll do it.

-Ok, take a pen and paper and write it carefully, ok? And I will let God do a miracle for the rest

-it won't be that bad and please don't roll your eyes

-How do...

-because I know you, ok, shoot now.

After 10 minutes, Zoya had finally the complete receipt for a simple cake, she didn't need a lots of ingredient, only to mix all of them and to check the baking.

-Humeira hows going in the company?

-Not so good, Zoya, since you left, Sufian took control of it and he rules it like he was the owner

-how dare he? He was not supposed to step inside the office at least not before, I came back.

-this is what I told him but he didn't care and took the excuse of your absence, you should do faster Zoya, you should convince Mister Khan.

-I know it so much Humeira, why do you think I accept to do this stupid challenge knowing that it's going to be a disaster for me. But I don't have a choice, I promise to save this company no matter what

-Uncle will have been proud of you

-I didn't save it yet, Humeira, for the moment, nothing has change. I hope it will wo...she posed when she heard a second voice in the background, she could feel Humeira tensed suddenly.

-Listen, can you stand outside, Humeira said sternly, and again she heard this voice that made her blood boiling, and she tensed in turn when Humeira's voice was replaced by his

-Zoya baby, where did you disappear? I was missing you, he said with a mocking tone

-Go to hell Sufian, she spat out and he chuckled

-Zoya, Zoya, Zoya, I always love your passionate character, you are on fire and it increases your charm and my willing to have you.

-You are disgusting man,

-I am sure once you know me better, you will change your mind. I don't understand we used to know each other really well, we grown up together and I know that you used to have a crush on me, then why don't we just give each other to this? It will harm no one, only pleasure between adult

-Screw you, I just hate you. I hate you for what you did to my father, to this company, to me. I don't understand you anymore, you changed so much, you are not anymore this boy that I grown up with, you change into a monster. Because of you, I didn't get the time to cry for my father's death. Why are you doing this? Why did you do this? Tell me.

-Zoya, please spare me this emotional blackmailed about our past, emotion didn't suit you and you were never good at being tender, this is not you and you don't know how to be. You and I were never been friends, we just grew up in opposite world, you were the richer and I was the son of your father's servant. I didn't chose this life for me but today, everything has changed. Let's say, I was just fed up to stay in the shadow, I worked hard in this company and I deserved a part of it. It's not my fault if your dad trust me enough and gave me everything blindly. He knew that you would have never been at the level that he wants you to be.

-Don't you dare talk about my dad, Sufian. You broke his heart, he loved you as his own son, this sentence constricted her throat, her dad was closed to Sufian more that he was with her, at her young age, she was jealous from their bond and she used to treat sometimes Sufian hardly but it never last long before she apologized to him. He was close to her heart. As she grown as only child, Sufian was her close friend in her childhood.

-It's not my fault if your dad wished a son, and as you said I was like a son to him and I deserved what I have now.

-You stole it from my dad and I am sure if you would have ask him, he would have given you but you just took the wrong way to obtain fortune and because of this he left this world disappointed and broken by you.

-Asking will be like asking for a favor. Actually, it wasn't supposed to be this way, I knew that your dad wanted me to be your partner life and it was the good plan, but you change a lot and you became strong. Not anymore this docile girl that I thought I could manipulate, so I started the plan B and here I am now. I didn't want to work for "my wife", I worked hard in this company and I don't need to ask your father, and I will not ask anymore, I always fight for what I have and I will not bend down in front person like you.

-what do you mean person like us? Richer than you will never be, she wanted to hurt him.

-Let me remind you sweetheart, that I AM the richer now and YOU are the one asking for money. Table turns and I am enjoying seeing you begging for other.

-I will save this company Sufian, I will fulfil my promise to my dad

-Your dad has just throw you like a piece of meat for vulture, if they only knows how desperate you are, they will ask for priceless part of you. Zoya tightened the handset between her hands, she wished he was here with her, she would have slap him hard for his insult. Instead of giving yourself to strangers for money, I proposed you a business deal but you slap me instead. You know, I am ready to forgive your impulsiveness, and to ask you again. Let's do what we always want both of us wanted from the beginning, you like me and I like you. Let's spend some good time together and according, if you are nice with me, I will let some percentage of the company for you. What do you think sweetheart?

-I swear Sufian, I swear by God that I will save this company, and I will kick you OUT.

-you have only two weeks, tic tac, tic tac, times is running. My proposition are still but don't take a lot of time, I might change my mind even for a beauty like you.

Zoya cut the call abruptly, her body was shaking from rage, she wanted to break everything but it wasn't her place. Her chest moved up and down sharply and her breath came out as loudly hiss. She couldn't believe her childhood friend changed so much, he was right, she had a crush on him when she was young and it transformed into attraction but everything fade away when she knew his real face. Her heart had been broken, the man that she saw herself growing with, was nothing like in her fantasy, it revealed to be the monster of her fairy tale. She held her head, walking back and forth, trying to control her anger, but nothing help. It went higher and higher making her suffocated. She pulled her collar out asking for air, but the room tightened around her, she felt dizzy and needed to go out. She wanted to see the outside. Her trembling legs moved slowly as her eyes looked for the door to go out. She unlocked holding the door to take her balance. Her eyes drifted to the main door and she ran, as fast as she can, she ran to reach a place of peace, to reach a place to forget everything, a place where she will not have to carry this burden.

Her tears blinded her but she kept running, emptied her lung from all the air, she kept running until she couldn't and fell on the grass abruptly. She sat up, and looked at her hands covered with muddy puddle mixed with her blood, her knees, her jeans were also covered with it. She went on her knees looking into nothing, it was indeed a beautiful place, she thought, but she can't enjoy it. Her vision was blurted with painful image, her body was heavy with this promise that she made.

-Zoya

-Abbu? She looked up, the image of her father lying on the hospital bed materialized in front of her.

-Zoya, promise me, you are going to save this company.

-Abbu, you can't ask me this

-Zoya, I am sorry for what I am asking you and I know you have no obligation, but you and this company saved me after I lost your mother. Thinking about all those persons that were depending of me gave me enough strength to wake up everyday without your mother by my side. Your eyes gave me all the love that I lost when she left this world. He cupped her face. You are absolutely like her, crazy, funny and so tender even if you hide it. I know that you think that this company took me from you, but I did my best to give a good life. I spent most of my time at work while I could have spent time with you. I am sorry for being absent when you needed me, but I did my best to rise and to give you a good life. I realized that I didn't give you the time as every child needs, but I...I am sorry. I am sorry for everything, for asking you to correct my mistake, you and I have been betrayed by Sufian. I though he was the man that you needed, but I was wrong. I gave him my trust and he just broke it. I was about to give you to him but he showed his real face before any huge damage, before he could break your heart. Sufian was like a son for me, and I thought he would have care of you more than me, but I was wrong. You deserve a man who will dedicate his life to you, who will be by your side even when you are going to push him away. A person who will have time for you and for his family, not a man like me, who don't know how to deal with his lone daughter, a man who his work came first. What I gained at the end by working like an dog, I am lying here, close to death.

-Abbu, please

-I am going Zoya, this is what broke my heart, to leave you alone to face him, to face all alone. I am sorry again, please forgive me.

-Abbu, you don't need to ask for anything, I knew everything, I know how much you love me and I didn't complain, you are my father and I love you. She wiped her tears, you won't leave, you are going to be fine and you will have your company back.

-Zoya, I want you to be strong. You are stronger than you think. This company is not about money or about my ego, but there is a lots of people who worked for me for years,I can't let them in his hands, and I don't want them to be kick out after so long. They deserved a better goodbye, thats why I want you to save it, I will not asking you something for myself but for all those people who helped us for so long. This is my respect for them and I want you to always remember, respect was hard to gain but easy to break. Promise me you will try everything to save it, promise me Zoya, promise your father that you are going to do all that you can to save this company.

-I promise abbu, I promise, she sat on her four, her head down between her shoulders, she cried recalling her promise to her father. He left few hours after she made her promise to him, he left as he predicted. She didn't get the time to register what happened or to cry her loss, when she started looking for solution. Sufian proposed her disgusting deal, he didn't show remorse or shame asking her to sleep with him, only few hours, after her father's dead body was taking to be buried, she slapped him hard throwing him away. This promise brought her here, making her ready to face hundreds of humiliation to give back her father's respect.

-Zoya,

She froze, her eyes wide opened. She heard his footsteps approaching her, she didn't want him to see her like this, in her weakness. She never showed her vulnerability to anyone.

-leave me alone, her jaw tightened hardly making her muscles tensed.

-Are you ok? His voice sounded worried. He saw her running like a mad woman out of the library, he called her, but she didn't reply. He then followed her leaving a distance between them, he didn't want to be intruder in her privacy, but seeing her crying, constricted his heart and he fought himself to hold her in his arms, but he didn't move. He stood close to her but she didn't noticed him. When he heard her cry again, this time, he decided to interrupt her, knowing that he will have to face the worst part of her, she was looking like a injured animal who was ready to bite.

-Leave me alone, please, her voice sounded cracked

-Zoya, I won't leave you alone

-I-said-leave-me-alone, she gulped, he was dangerously crossing the red line. She didn't like his obstinacy.

-I-said-I-won't-leave-you-Zoya, if she was stubborn, he was more. He wasn't scared and not impressed.

-leave, please, I am going to hurt you, she warned him but he didn't care.

-Zoya, please come with me

-stay away from me, Ayaan, she shook her head trying to control herself from bursting out

-Zoya, he touched softly her shoulder and she trapped a frustrated growl in her throat, sliding her fingers into the grass, Zoya, he squeezed her shoulders but this time, she jerked his hand away and slapped him with a dirty hand on his face, as hard as she can.

-I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE ME ALL ALONE, WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? LEAVE ME ALL ALONE, I DON'T WANT ANYBODY, LEAVE ME ALL ALONE. ALONE, ALONE, ALOOONNEEE. At the end of her burst, she was breathing loudly like she had raced a marathon. She was drained from all her energy.

Asad was so shocked, he expected her anger but never imagined a slap. Strangely, he wasn't mad at all, instead, he was feeling bad for her. He didn't even understand himself, how can he be so calm? If it was another woman, he would have given her a peace of his mind, but her, he didn't need anything. He still could feel the heat on his cheek but puddle stick against his flesh making it cool in the same time. He held her gaze and didn't say anything, giving her the time to catch her breath and to cool down. Zoya stared at him, with this slap, she removed her anger in one go, all the memories that were hurting her crushed on his face, he took all her frustration with him. What bothering her was his silence? He didn't leave her either, he stayed here waiting for her, like what she did wasn't at all severe. Suddenly all the cloud in her mind, went away and she realized what she did to him, he was just here to help her, he didn't tease or laugh at her, he was gentle and as always, she reacted quickly.

-I am sorry, she said softly, I am sorry, she recalled the slap and she let out a shaky sob, I am sorry, Ayaan, I am really sorry, she started to panic, repeating like a tantrum lost in her world.

-Zoya, it's ok, he could feel her lost in her regrets, he tried to catch her arms, but she stepped back shaking her head repeatedly, saying again the word of sorry. Zoya, calm down.

-I am sorry, I hurt you, I am sorry, you did nothing to me, you didn't force me, I am sorry

What was she talking about? He wondered.

Zoya started to hyperventilate hard and her breath came out as whistle from her throat, she couldn't control her spasm and it increased with each passing second. She couldn't swallow either, her throat refused to open but only tightened more and more. She fell on the ground, her mouth opened searching from air, but nothing help, and her tears flew abundantly. Asad ran to her, asking her to calm but she couldn't say anything, she grabbed on his collar, hardly until her hand become white asking with her eyes some help.

-Zoya, calm down, calm down, I am here, he stroke her hair and her face to soothe her, but nothing help, her eyes rolled and she loss conscious. She finally stopped to fight her demons. Zoya, Zoya, can you hear me? He shook her frustrated, but she didn't move, she was lifeless. He went down trying to feel her breath, it was slow. He took her in his arms, her head in the crook of his neck, calling her.

-Zoya, please wake up, don't do this to me, please stay with me.

He posed her on her bed, delicately, and checked her breath again. She was still unconscious, he took her hand in his and found dust and blood. He went to the bathroom, wetted a sheet and came back cleaning her hands. He took them delicately and brushed softly. She hissed and he clenched his jaw, he didn't want to hurt her. She grumbled in her sleep : I am sorry. It was his turn to hiss, it hurt him to see in such state, his guts twisted painfully. He was more careful this time, and was satisfied, because this time, she didn't flinch. He went now on her face, cleaning her forehead his eyes caressing the curve of her soft face. She was still tensed and he pressed more on her eyebrow to release them. When he removed all the marks from her face, the sheet was replaced by his fingers, he touched her cheek with the back of his knuckles, enjoying the soft sound of her breath coming from her nose.

-who broke your heart Zoya? Who makes you cry like this? He wished he could read in her mind, he wished he could enter in her dreams, to deal with her pain personally. He didn't know why he felt protecting her, she never gave him reason, she was strong enough to fight by herself then why did he felt to protect her? He accepted being push, being treat badly by her, he accepted a slap but it didn't bother him. He wanted to be by her side, even when she didn't want. She was not any of those girls that he met in his life, she was far more dependent, strong and gutsy. He couldn't hide behind his challenge anymore, she was not a challenge, there was more about her, more about her cold and rude behavior, and he saw something new. She was like a thousand women in one body. He cupped her face, rubbing her flesh with his thumb. Her features relaxed slowly and she turned her face, trapping his hand between her cheek and the pillow, she leaned more and he could swear, he saw her lips curved softly.

He stood up and looked at her for sometimes, only God knows for how long he watched her sleeping peacefully. He pulled the blanket all over her and before leaving, he gave a last look at her.

Asad needed answers now, he wanted to know everything about her, and it became visceral for him now. He took the phone and dialed Ayaan.

-Ayaan, this is Asad, do you have any news about Miss Farooqui?

-Sorry, bhai, my guys are still looking for her

-I want everything soon, Ayaan, I don't want any delay

-what's wrong, Asad? Is everything alright? He asked, he was not used to hear Asad's with this restless tone, but Asad can't tell him anything, he didn't want to share how she broke down in front of him.

-there is nothing... I just want to close this chapter soon.

-ok, it will be done by the end of this week.

-thank you Ayaan. He cut the call and went to watch his face. He stared at his reflection, lost in deep though. She was only here for two days, and she created hurricane in his heart and mind. He hated himself for losing control like this and in short time span. She wasn't sophisticated or seductive, actually she was totally opposite of any kind of seduction. However, he wondered if she knew about his real identity, would she have been the same? Would she have been nice with him like she was with Ayaan? Of course, her behavior would have been totally different, and maybe he would have spared himself such a turmoil. It was him who started this game and he was paying now. He realized that it wasn't the best idea that he got for so long. Thinking of manipulate her, he fell in his trap like a kid. No matter the switch identity, he can't ignore how she fascinated him, and he knew it was this fascination which was turning him upside down. He likes to control everything and she was out of his control. He touched his cheek, the slap was still loud, he deserved this slap after all, and if she knew the truth about him, one slap won't be enough. He needed to clean his mind, he splashed water again and again on his face, trying to wipe her crying face.

He went to her room and sneaked silently, but he was surprised to find the bed empty. He looked out of the window, thinking that she might left, but he didn't see anything. He then looked at her everywhere, when he found her in the kitchen searching in the cupboard.

-Zoya, he followed her and she stopped in her track.

-yes, she said hesitantly, without turning back. What if he asked her what happened? She can't face him and didn't want to talk about.

-what are you doing? He asked normally and waited for her to turn back, but she didn't. She let out a sigh.

-you remembered I have to do a cake for your cousin. She tried to sound nonchalantly but her eyes didn't lie when she briefly crossed his eyes, he can read them well. But why did he feel that he can read them? Her behavior was enough talking for her and she didn't want to discuss about what happened earlier outside, he felt it. He respected her and will wait until it came from her.

-but I though you don't know how to cook, Miss Farooqui? He was now behind her, his arms cross on his chest, looking at her searching in the kitchen for ingredients.

-I still don't know, but I called one of my friend, and she gave me this. He took the paper from her hands and started reading it seriously. Her eyes fell on his cheek looking for trace, it looked rosy but nothing serious. Feeling her eyes on him, he looked up but her eyes diverted in the other direction.

-it looks good, let me help to find your ingredients.

-thank you

He posed one by one all the ingredients in the list, aware about her eyes following him. He could see that she wanted to say a lot of thing, but nothing came out. Both tried to act normally but both knew it was just a masquerade the tension between them was heavy. She didn't expect from him to act cordially with her after this slap. Another man would have been mad or would have thrown her out of this house, or would have tried to hurt her back, but... He didn't and this is what it makes it worst. He took her to her bed, cleaned her hands and pasted her wounds. She wanted to apologize for her rude behavior, but each time, she tried to combine words, her throat tightened with emotion. It was still fragile and she didn't want to break down again finishing by telling him how desperate she was. She didn't trust him enough for this. What if he revealed to be a manipulative man? What if he abuse at the end of her? She had to wait for now, but for sure, she will ask for apology, he deserved it. She swallowed her emotion and composed herself, to act like she always did with him.

-you are really a good assistant Ayaan. He smiled softly and knew what she was doing, he followed her path.

-I told you I am an angel, he mocked himself

-yes, you are, her tone sounded soft and he looked surprised, she cleared her throat, a dark angel you mean

- A dark angel in the night and bright angel in the morning, I adapted myself according to the day

-this is just ridiculous argument, she chuckled

-no it's not, you are just out of argument, Miss Farooqui

-ok, what about the fact that you are the most annoying angel?

-it's only for you, I know how much you like this side of me, I can read it in your eyes, don't lie? He teased her arms with his elbow, waggling her eyebrows. She just rolled her eyes softly and couldn't hold her smile.

-whatever, Mister Assistant, can we start this cake?

-Yes, Ma'am, he gave her a mock salute, knocking both of this shoes together. What can I do to help you?

-I want you to read for me each step and I will do the rest

-don't you want me instead to mix for you and you read for me.

-No, I have to do it by my own

-but your hands?

-I am fine, shall we start? He nodded and both started to bake this cake together.

After 1 hour

-Zoya, I don't think it will go faster if we keep watching the oven? Both of their faces was stick on the glass of the oven.

-I have to check it, this is what she asked

-checking from time to time, not staring at him like a sexy handsome man, you have me if you want to stare at something sexy, I can play distraction. He played with the first button of his shirt and she pushed him playfully on his shoulders and stepped away from the oven. You are really a shy girl, I am sure now.

-No, I am not, she said outrageous

-don't try, you don't even assume that you read an erotic book

-what makes you so sure that I've read it?

-you're blushing

-Am I blushing? She cupped her face

-no, but now, I am sure looking at your face

-You are just an arrogant idiot, Ayaan, she was about to hit his shoulders but stop in the midway. She will have to control herself from now. He noticed her gesture but preferred to act like he didn't see it. He laughed at her and his eyes went to the oven. He flinched suddenly when he felt her hand on his cheek, but he turned to see, she didn't take her hand away from his face.

-Does it hurt? She asked waving at his cheek, he shook his head in no, he was shocked with her gesture that for the moment, she stole his words. Her eyes lingered on his cheek tenderly, unconsciously, she followed the movement of her thumb on his cheek, hypnotized with the back and forth movement of her knuckle on his skin. She felt it so familiar, so natural, she didn't feel it wrong or inappropriate, it came naturally to touch him in this way. Suddenly, she realized what she was doing and took her hand away from him.

-I am sorry, I shouldn't have slap you. I was just...She closed her eyes frustrated. I was just...She didn't know what to say without revealing everything to him.

-It's ok, I can understand, we all have our bad days.

-why are you not angry?

-because I can understand that sometimes, we can lose control. It was just a bad moment that we have to go through, the worst part is we can hurt other. And you apologize enough, so I don't need to be mad at you.

-thank you, Ayaan, it means a lot, she looked down. He didn't want her to feel guilty, the incident was over now, even if he was still curious to know why, he didn't want to use her guilt to know about, it wasn't the right way nor the moment.

-You know what Miss Farooqui, you owe me something from now. She shook her head and smiled sadly at him.

-really? And what do you want?

-Mmmh, he tapped his chin pretending to be in deep though, to tease you for the rest of your life

-you can't Ayaan

-why?

-Because I am not planning to stay with you for the rest of my life.

-that's a good point, I guess I will tease you as long as you will be here

-then I will have to quit quickly this place, she sat on the chair fixing him amused

-I won't let you go so easily from here Miss Farooqui. He sat in front of her challenging her.

-are you going to keep captive, Ayaan?.

What if I wants you to stay with me for the rest of my life? He though. He didn't reply but he gave her a naughty look. He looked down smiling, he didn't want her to read him.

-You are such a crazy angel. Both turned their gaze to the oven like it was the most interesting thing to watch. Zoya let her eyes on him when he was looking away.

What if I want to stay with him for the rest of my life? Why it didn't sound crazy? For the first time in her life, a man forced her to ask a question of commitment.

Omg rada that was a very awesome update..! You are really so so talented.. ! 😊
I loved it soo much..
Zoya has suffered so much in life.. she couldn't get the love of her parents.. nd then the only friend she had betrayed her and her father..! She now needs to be strong to save her father's company and can't even cry and let her emotions out after her father's death..!
I could totally feel how frustated she felt after talking to sufian..
Asad on the other hand was so gentlemanly and so calm and not egoistic.. he didnt react when zoya slapped him.. thats something most men wont do.. he understood her emotions and tried to calm her down instead of shouting at her.. aahh I fell in love with him.. 😆
Loved how asad gave zoya time to say something about the slap incident and didnt make her feel guilty..!
Finally they both kinda realise their feeling for each other.. 😳

awesome and amazing. . 👏
