Guys, I am sorry but I'll probably won't be able to update because my Internet connection sucks 😭

Zoya couldn't sleep during all night. Her mind was working and trying to figure out why she had these marks in her body, why was she having these wet dreams?
'Is it possible that I gave myself to someone?' She thought and as soon as she thought about it, she felt disgusted with herself. But her heart was feeling something else. On having these dreams, her heart felt warm, it felt as if she had never lived before..
Asad was on his bed thinking about Zoya..
"Please Zoya, don't leave me!" He had shouted to her while Aarti and Yash were looking at him sadly.
He hugged her tightly against him and she began to come back to life, coughing softly.
"Tell her that you love her before it's too late." Yash had advised him.
"I should've listened to you.." He said out loud. "I should have told Zoya about my feelings. Ya Allah why do I have such obstacles between me and happiness? Will I have to suffer all my life? Won't I be able to live a life with Zoya by my side?" He asked to himself.
Zoya was on her bed, looking at pictures of Zeenat, Anwar and her. She was admiring a picture of her while she was a little when she noticed something on both her hands.
"How? Where are they coming from?" She asked to herself as she saw the scars on her hands. They were barely visible, that why she didn't see them straight away.
"Leave her alone Akram!" He shouted at Akram.
"She's my wife to be. I have every right on her!" Akram argued.
"I said 'Qubool nahin hai'. Zoya won't marry you and I won't leave until she leaves with me!" He said with a hard tone. Then he comes near her and carried her away from Akram. But they didn't let him go away. Once he was outside, they attacked him. And when he was going to go back home with her, this man cut both her hands. She looked at them shocked and suffering from the pain. He raised the knife again but someone stopped him from hurting her again.
Zoya's eyes were full of tears. She looked at her hands again and asked to herself:
'Why did I forget everything? How is it possible that I've forgotten this? Why did Api hide it from me? Why can't I remember this? But who was the guy who saved me from Akram? Who is the guy who is haunting my dreams?'
She thought and she finally decided to sleep at 3.00 a.m. When she woke up next day, she was tired. she couldn't stop thinking about these flash blacks.
She went to the kitchen and she saw Najma and Mrs Khan giggling on the sofa. She loved their bond.
"Phuphi! She's so annoying!" Zoya said pouting.
"What's happening Zoya?" Dilshad asked.
"Phuphi, once again Najma teased me about your son!" Zoya sobbed.
"Arrey! Sometimes I'm believing that I am living with children and not adults!" Dilshad said teasingly.
Zoya giggled and hug her.
"That's because you are, phuphi." Zoya said and kissed Dilshad's cheek. " I love you phuphi.."
"Phuphi.." Zoya whispered and Dilshad thought that she was daydreaming. Did she really..
"Phuphi.." Zoya said it again, this time louder. Dilshad looked at Zoya, not believing this. Zoya herself was confused. Her eyes met Dilshad's eyes and she smiled before she felt as if she was going to faint and she collapsed on the ground unconscious.
"Zoya!" Dilshad shouted and her children came quickly.
"Zoya!" Asad screamed as he saw the love of his life unconscious. When Dilshad saw her son's face, she realised that maybe she had been too unfair with Asad. Asad took Zoya from Dilshad and hugged her tightly before going with her in her room. Dilshad was going to follow him when Najma stopped her.
"Ammi, it's also hard for him. We don't know what happened this day between them but I know that Asad cares for Zoya and he regrets that he let her take this bus. And you should know about this, after all, he's your son. You should know him like the palm of your hand.."
Asad was holding Zoya's hand tightly, kissing it and resting his cheek against it. He began humming a song for her while he was crying silently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGOeTDERMzQ (that's the song)
Zoya was slightly hearing Asad's voice singing to her and her mind was going crazy. He had the same voice as the man of her dreams. Zoya shrugged in her sleep and Asad slowly let go of her hand and left the room. When he left, he bumped into his mother and held her to stop her from falling. He was going to go to his room when she said:
"Asad?" She said and Asad turned back to her, his eyes watering.
"Ammi." He said and then went back to her and hugged her. "Can I talk to you please?" He asked. Dilshad nodded and they went to his room.
"Ammi I'm sorry." He began. "I'm sorry. I know that I wouldn't have done such a thing ammi. I know that I had to protect Zoya and I failed ammi. I failed to protect Zoya right after I told to her that I love her. Is it my destiny? Will I have to hurt the people I love like Rashid Ahmed Khan?" He said while tears were streaming down his face. Dilshad wiped his tears away.
"Why are you this sad Asad? Zoya is going to remember you and you'll be happy together." Dilshad said but Asad just closed his eyes and shook his head no.
"No. I hurt her. She will never forgive me. She told me that we were in this farmhouse because of Ayaan and her. They had made this plan so that I won't tell anything against Rashid. I slapped her and I told her that I didn't want to see her ammi. I told her that I didn't want to see her ever again. I couldn't realize at this time that she was the one for me. I couldn't realize that she did all of this because we are her family. She wanted to protect us. Now that we live under the same roof as strangers, I realize how much Zoya means to me. I realize how stupid I was for pushing her out of my life when she is the reason why I live. She's the reason of my life, my happiness.."
On hearing these words, Dilshad understood how her son felt. She wanted so hard to tell him that it wasn't his fault but she knew that he was indeed the cause of Zoya's accident. Unfortunately for him, both of them knew that it was possible that once she would fully recover from her amnesia, Zoya would probably hate him for pushing her out of his life the way he had done. Never in his life he had treated Zoya like this, never in his life he had treated her in such a way that she didn't even try to argue when he was shouting at her.
"Phuphi!" They heard Zoya shouting. Zoya was having a nightmare.. she was thinking so as she was remembering when these from Mangalpur had buried her alive.
Zoya was gaining consciousness when she found herself being surrounded by dirt. She was screaming for help but her scream were muffled by the dirt. She finally gave up and thought about the people she loved as she felt her heart beating slower and slower.
"Phuphi!" Zoya screamed again and Dilshad entered her room and hugged her tightly. Zoya was almost suffocating.
"Asad go and bring her a glass of water!" Asad quickly brought a glass of water for Zoya. He made her drink it and then she threw herself on his arms, crying. Dilshad was stupefied with this, never she had imagined that Zoya would be able to do such a thing, hugging openly Asad like this. A small smiled played on her lips while she looked at them.
"I am scared Mr Khan." She said and Asad hugged her tightly. Then he grabbed her shoulders and pulled a strand of hair out of her face.
"What's happening Zoya? Why are you scared?" He asked and Zoya began shaking in fear.
"I dreamt that I had been buried alive." She said sobbing and Asad hugged her once more. She had dreamt about Mangalpur. Dilshad looked at Zoya sadly. The fact she was remembering everything was good but the way she was remembering her journey in India was heartbreaking because she was scared of these flash blacks.
"Ammi?" Najma said entering the room.
"Kya hua Tamatar?" Dilshad asked.
"Ammi, Zeenat api is here." Najma said and both Dilshad and Asad looked at each other. Both of them were scared of her reaction. They left the room along with Zoya and Zoya ran to her sister to hug her. Zeenat hugged her sister and her tears streamed down her face as she looked at her baby sister.
"It's time to go back home Zoe." Zeenat said and Zoya looked at her.
"Api, why didn't you tell me that I didn't marry to Akram? Why am I here in India api? Why did you go back to USA and why did you leave me here by myself?" Zoya asked and Zeenat decided to tell to Zoya the truth not caring about Dilshad who was trying to tell her not to say a word to Zoya.
"Zoya you're suffering from amnesia. And the culprit behind your state is none other than Asad Ahmed Khan himself."
