When Zoya and Asad met in a plane, they felt as if they were made for each other. Will they fate bring them together?
Zoya was ready for 31 hours of flight to go back to Bhopal. She was a bit late but well..She was Zoya, it was her attitude. Her sister Zeenat had encouraged her to go there for a journey of three weeks just to see India as she left India at the age of six. She was happy but she was stressed to live in a stranger's family. Zeenat had told her that it was a woman, mother of two and she would love them as they were very kind and her son used to be her best friend but Zoya had forgotten it. So she walked to her seat and saw that a man was already sitting beside her seat.
She approached the man and asked:
"Can you please get up?"
"Wait ammi, there is some girl who is talking to me. What do you want?"
"May you please get up? My seat is just next to yours.."
The man got up and Zoya sat at her seat. She could feel his gaze on her back and she shyly blushed.
"May you please be ready, the plane is going to take off in a couple of minutes." The stewardess said and Zoya buckled herself and made herself comfortable.
"I'm Zoya by the way." She said out of nowhere.
"Sorry?" The man replied.
"I'm Zoya. We're going to be in there for 31 hours so at least let be sociable."
"Ji, I'm Asad Ahmed Khan."
The hours had passed by and Asad had learned from Zoya that she was just in India for three weeks. On the other hand, he was going back to his house after a year in New-York. He didn't know why but he was feeling comfortable with Zoya as if they knew each other for a long time. He had put his mother and sister's happiness before everything even his own happiness. He didn't know how to tell to Zoya that she made him feel..weird..
Zoya on the other hand was very intrigued by Asad. He was very kind even though his stern face gave the sensation that he could kill everyone with only a stare. When he began tapping like a furious man on his laptop, she decided to take a nap. Just 24 hours left then she would get out of this plane.
Asad was still doing his job when he felt her head on his shoulder.
"Excuse me sir, does your wife will wake up to eat?"
"Actually, she's not...um..just put it there, I'll wake her up." he looked at the angel face on his shoulder and slowly woke her up. Zoya woke up and rubbed her eyes. Asad found it so cute. He wanted to kiss her dimpled face so hard.
"Kya hua Asad?" She asked with a little voice.
"The stewardess had brought food." Zoya looked in front of her and found a tray with food, but mostly pizza!
"Pizza!!" She exclaimed and Asad chuckled. He never acted this way with people but it seemed that Zoya was bringing the best out of him. And he had just met her a couple of hours earlier..
"You know, pizzas are the best food ever!" She said while chewing a bite of her pizza.
"No, that's junk food it's not healthy." Zoya got near him and bit her pizza just in front of him.
"I don't care! That's good so I'm eating it!" She said seriously before laughing uncontrollably not knowing that the few people around them were looking at her.
"Zoya shh, people are looking at us!" He said and she smirked at him. She grabbed his tie and planted a chaste kiss on his lips.
"Now they can look at us if they want to." Asad gulped. She had kissed him! He remained silent while Zoya was asking herself why she had kissed a stranger. But hey he was handsome as hell!
Since the kiss, Asad and Zoya didn't talk to each other and now they were arrived in Bhopal. Asad picked his things and left and Zoya did the same. However she grabbed his arm when they left the plane.
"Listen, I am sorry for the kiss. I didn't mean to.." She stopped dead in her tracks when she felt his lips on hers. He pulled back and smirked at her. He just wanted to feel her lips once more.
"It was very nice to meet you Zoya." He said.
"It was very nice to meet you too Asad..Maybe we should meet someday before I go back to New-York."
"Believe me Zoya, if we meet again, I won't let go of you." He said then he left. Allah miyaan, what was happening to him! He never was the flirtatious one!
An hour after.
"Please Zoya, make yourself comfortable." Said Dilshad while she smiled at Zoya.
"Ji phuphi." Dilshad had explained to Zoya that she knew her mother and that she used to be her son's best friend before her mother Zainab passed away and she had moved to New-York.
"Of course! Now I remember Jammy! I used to tease him every time because of his love for jam."
"Talking about him, he will come soon. He was in New-york to work, it so strange that you didn't meet each other yet. You know, you were very close to each other and well, when your mum and I saw both of you together, we were just thinking that we should marry you together." Zoya looked at her with wide eyes. She remembered that Asad was always kind to her but she didn't want to be with Jammy, she wanted to be with Asad she met in the plane. Even though she didn't know him for too long, she felt as if he was the one..
"Well, phuphi I'm going to sleep. 31 hours of flight is exhausting."
"Ji go to rest beta. If you need anything just call me ok? You'll meet Najma tomorrow." Zoya smiled then go to the room Dilshad had shown her. She didn't realized that she went to the wrong room.
An hour later.
Asad knocked and waited. It was already 9.00 p.m, he just hoped that his mother wasn't asleep yet.
"Bhaijan?!" He heard a voice behind him. He turned around and saw Najma.
"Najma? What are you doing outside at 9.00 p.m?" He asked. He engulfed her into a hug. "I missed you so much Tamatar!"
"Bhaijan, I am sorry I was just chilling with Nikhat and Nuzrat." When Asad heard about his step-sisters, he got tense. He loved them to pieces but he couldn't forget his father cheating on his mother.
"Well Tamatar, will you open the door."
"Ji, sorry.."
Najma opened the door and Asad went to his room to freshen up and sleep. He was so damn tired. And he was also thinking about Zoya. It was so hard to know that he wouldn't meet her again..
"Asad Ahmed Khan, that must be love at first sight." He told himself before going to sleep.
Morning after.
Zoya was feeling something hard under her palm and one of her legs was tangled with two other legs. When she opened her eyes she saw none other than Asad!
"What the heck!" She exclaimed. Asad got up immediately.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"No what are YOU doing in my room?"
"Your room? You mean.. You're Jammy??" She asked stupefied.
"No that can be real...Pizza Eater!" He smiled then hugged her. He had missed her so much! Zoya was always in his mind. He couldn't believe that he spent 31 hours next to her without knowing that it was his best friend.
"Phuphi had told me that you weren't coming yet!" She said.
"Well I wanted to surprise them. I should've known that it was you in the plane when you confessed your love for pizzas!" She smiled and hugged him once more.
"Now get out of my room!" She looked at him with her eyes wide open!"
"Pizza eater, kissing you don't mean that you can see me undressed."
"Do I have to tell you that you basically proposed to me yesterday." She sat on his lap and whispered in his ear "You have three weeks to make me yours." She bit his earlobe then got up to leave but he held her hand.
"What makes you believe that I want you?"
"You kissed me back. See you later Jammy."
