PART 2
She kept on starring at him and he just flashed a satisfied smile to her...shaking her head at last she started 'I don't believe this...all the time earlier I was with the owner only and now you have selected me just like that..did you... ' as she continued he nodded a no stopping her... he placed both his hands on table and joined them together as if involved in a very important discussion 'Miss faroqui before you waste all your energy on thinking...allow me' he said calmly and her mouth turned into perfect O...gulping her anger quietly she nodded telling him to go on
'So...you may know that you and every one else outside who were called for interview weren't selected just like that...all the designs you all emailed were approved by US and thus you people are here trying to be the part of DC... it's not easy to be a part of it as we don't appreciate flaws and about your interview, earlier today, even under different circumstances but I did got to spend a lot of time with you and due to that and also your work i feel that you are capable enough to be a part of DC and knowing what I am doing I don't need a mere interview to justify my actions neither here anyone will oppose it...so I know what I am doing and this means you can relax and happily join us from tomorrow but yeah you have to be on time' zoya heard him quietly and as he finished she let all his words sink in before she passed him a bright smile happy about all the facts...she actually got this job with her own hard work
'So what are you thinking?' He asked as she smiled 'that you are so correct...I am glad it's not about our meeting earlier because I don't feel being indebted ...you know' she explained bitting her lower lip lightly now and then... just then there was a knock on the door and both of them looked at their back towards the door to find Mr.Mehta standing there with a file in his hands 'come in Mr. Mehta... zoya..I mean Ms.Faroqui you have to sign this..it's kind of a contract and all the clauses i.e the demand of our compan or you can say expectations from you...if you want you can take it with you today and tomorrow return it to Mr.Mehta and yeah Mr.Mehta she Will be joining from tomorrow' asad ordered both of them and they nodded
'So all set and clear...Mr.Mehta there is a guy Ravi, his designs too seems good then others..you have to interview him and then inform me' 'sure sir...I will take my leave now...' 'yeah...sure' 'good bye Miss.Faroqui' he greeted and walk out of the cabin while zoya again turned to asad 'thank you so much once again asad for selecting me for this and I promise I will never give you a chance to regret you decision' 'I am sure about it Zoya...' he Said and she gave him a bright smile 'I will take my leave now' 'where are you going? ' 'back at hostel...why?' she replied him frowning 'I remember you said you can't repay me ever...so I thought to give you a chance to repay me' 'oh and how can I do that? Tell me' she said with shine in her eyes totally enjoying this conversation
'How about a lunch?' 'My treat' 'sure' 'but it's just 11...don't you think it's too early for lunch?' 'I absolutely am thinking about it only...' 'so? Let's skip it today' 'nah...not at all...how about I pick you up at 2?' 'How about I stay here only and go through my part of job...it will save both of our time' she said and he nodded with a smile 'not a bad idea Ms.Faroqui' he then picked up the receiver of his phone and dialed a number 'come to my cabin' he ordered someone while she sat there clapping her hands together in her lap ...a few seconds later a peon knocked before entering inside 'take madam to Mr.Mehta's cabin...zoya he must be interviewing ravi...just wait there until then and then he will give you a tour of office...' 'ohkay...thanks' as she left he smiled 'looks like Miss.zoya faroqui have more than one shade' he whispered remembering her behavior earlier that day and then this a little polite one and picked up the receiver yet again to call Mr.Mehta
The moment zoya reached to Mr.mehta's cabin she knew asad must have told him already that's why he politely smiled at her when she entered and continued the interview while she sat there looking around but her mind was somewhere else... zoya faroqui daughter of Mr.Gaffur faroqui, employ at one of the firm in Bhopal, they weren't rich and have spend a very complicated life throughout, her only sister humaira is studying and also working as a teacher in an evening school to manage her expenses, she too had done that, the day she finished her 12th and made her mind to study further she worked as a librarian and was able to manage most of her expenses because of her double shifts there .. she was 23 years old now but never had she came across someone from opposite gender to such extent that she will have lunch Or dinner with him, forget going to the mall...yes she do wear jeans but it doesn't mean that she is that kind of girl who enjoy male's attention...due to her studies studies was needed to get in touch with her male class fellows but that was just limited to a coversation inside the classroom or in cafeteria nothing more nothing less
But for the first time In her life she experienced such thing and surprisingly she didn't felt awkward or any such emotions which she felt she would feel if she ever will be in such position although she didn't thought such one like going to mall or getting a job in the same company he owned Or even the lunch ... may be because he wasn't such guy she thought every other guy in this world is...mean and hypocrite...
Her thoughts came to a halt when Mr.Mehta called out for her and asked to accompany him..she nodded and followed him throughout hearing the instructions he was giving along with enjoying the tour.. Mr.Mehta then explained her about their department and what kind of projects they are handling and rest... the time she was finished with the tour and Mr.Mehta's instructions and information it was half past one... asad knocked at the door and entered inside 'Mr.Mehta that guy ravi...' 'yes sir...he is selected...very deserving boy he was I am glad you noticed his designs...' Mr.Mehta...my company is my first priority and whatever decision I will take will be for the betterment of it' he said and the middle aged man nodded agreeing fully 'Miss.Faroqui please come..' he then turned to zoya who already was picking up her purse from the table and then turned to asad..they then left leaving Mr.Mehta a little confused
***** He was driving since fifteen minutes while zoya was guiding him 'you are new to delhi still you know where to go?' He asked while turning right 'ohh there is again a story behind it...interested?' 'Totally...start please' 'ohkay...2 weeks before when I came to Delhi...abu came with me to drop me safely...that day I was so tired and sleepy with all the travel and packing that after unpacking I slept when I woke up the next day...it was past 3 p.m ..and in the hostel there is a rule...we have to be on time for lunch and dinner otherwise no food..so obviously I missed and was so hungry so then my room mate took me at that place where we are going...and we had an amazing time and you know I can easily afford it too' she ended with a wink and he laughed 'sounds good...' 'ohkay take left ' he did 'stop...we have reached' she announced and he stopped the car with a jerk and looked ahead to came across a dhaba...he turned to zoya with disbelief
'What?' She asked with a raised eye brow 'zoya...a dhaba...seriously' he said and she chuckled 'Allah Miyah what is wrong with you...it's just a dhaba...and let me tell you the food here is amazing...I just love it and I will have my lunch here only...now it's upto you..weather you wanna join in or not' she said in a high pitch and he rolled his eyes, back again to other shade 'fine' 'good' she smiled showing her dimples
'Arey zoya bitya...you are here again..and who is this munda with you?' Mrs.Singh asked..the wife of the owner 'Asslam o Alikum aunty...he is my boss..aunty we are here for lunch...' 'han han tell me what would you like...' 'special wala food ...2 plates daal makhni, sarso da saag and makki di roti...and 2 glass lassi ' she ordered and both of them sat on one of the wood bench there 'feel free Mr.Khan...yhan koi rule nahe to behave like a business men...you can be like a common man too...who came for lunch with a common girl' she told him as he kept on looking around feeling awkward 'but we are here as my treat ...you remember an employ's treat to her boss' 'of course not...no employ no boss here' 'you mean it?' 'Of course' 'that's means no treat... so are we here on a date Ms.Faroqui? ' he asked with a smirk and zoya who was looking towards Mrs.Singh turned to him ...her eyes widened to such extent that it will come out any moment
'What happened zoya...?' He asked innocently and she lowered her eyes..and thanked her stars as Mr.singh came to them with their order and placed all of them one by one 'enjoy ji enjoy...it's the best dhaba of Delhi... kahin itna maza ka khana khana ko Nahe milega tenu' he told them and laughing walked away...
Zoya bowed a little and smelled the food making a pleasant sound 'yummm...start na asad, it smells so good...I toh can't wait to eat it all' she said and then breaking a little roti dipped in saag and then ate It...asad smiled nervously towards her and finally raised his hand to follow her step and a moment later he couldn't stop himself from repeating zoya's action 'I taste nice' 'I told you' she said giving him a smile of victory
Later both had lunch with lots of chit chat...where zoya told him so much about her life back in bhopal...he shared about himself... how his father started this company and after he joined the business his abu happily took retirement...his mother is a principal in one top school of delhi and his sister whom he call tamatar is studying in university
Zoya smiled in aww, his life seems so easy without any problem...no worries no issues and of course he is not that unlucky to leave his family and go far away to arrange money ...when asad asked that what was she thinking...she shook her head discarding it
He then dropped her at the hostel...and then returned back home by evening...that day he didn't knew why but he was so happy and at peace...he liked zoya so much because of how she was.. zoya may be the first girl whom he had approached like this that too himself...he never have given any importance to any women other than his ami and tamatar... his whole life revolved around his aim...aim to achieve everything his father have himself and not because he was his son... but today for the first time in his life he gave any other woman this much importance that he almost went to a date with her...he chuckled...date..like really
She is so lively...down to earth...a little violent, he thought remembering their first encounter and then the time of office...she was so different then ...serious and worried and later relieved
So many shades of a person...hmm interesting 'kia bat hai bhaijan...you seems so happy?' Najma asked as instead of watching the movie he was lost in his own thoughts...rashid and dilshaad too turned to him and the three of them starred at him waiting for his reply, the movie forgotten
'Nothing tamatar...tum bhe na...I am always happy' he said and she made a kind ohhh sound telling him that she didn't buy the excuse and he shook his head looking back at the screen totally ignoring her curious glare
***** The next day...asad went to office after dropping dilshaad at hospital for her regular check up and thus it was 9 when he reached...everyone stood up to greet him and he replied all of them making his way to his office but he stopped mid way...the scene in front of him was quite amusing and a smile formed on his lips as he raised his hand to tap her 'Miss.Faroqui'
So friends, hope you guyz liked it...I am quite nervous about this Part..don't know how it came out still hoping for better...
And yeah those who thought that asad is planning something, guyz the answer is no ...no there is no planning...this time I thought to give it a little different touch then the usual planning and plotting..I hope I am successful in that...do leave back your reviews...will be anxiously waiting and yeah coz I have college tomorrow, pm's will be send out in tomorrow's evening😊
Thanks
