At a calm evening in Khan Mansion,
Ayaan, Najma, Aysha and Imraan were sleeping on the sofa, while Asad came home. He looked at them sleeping and looked at his watch, and saw that the time was 5.
"Get up!!! Get up sleepy heads!!" Asad threw the cushions from the sofa on all of them, and they all woke up in a jerk.
"Bhaijaan..." Ayaan looked at him, rubbing his eyes, "We dropped Saima at the airport...and just..."
"Are you guys done with everything that you people are sleeping here??" asked Asad with an unbelievable look, "Where are Tanveer and Mehwish??"
"Asad Sir, you can relax!!" Tanveer said coming down the stairs, "Everything is set. Zoya has to come home now. That's it!!"
"Okay!!" Asad said with a smile, while Dilshaad came to him, "Seems like my child is too tensed and nervous regarding the party, huh??"
"Not like tensed actually..." Asad said and sat next to Ayaan, "Thing is...this is her first birthday with us...and I want it to be the best...and she is worried that I am not next to her...so just a..."
"Come on Bhai!!" Ayaan said coming in front of him, "Don't you trust the power of the Dashing Clan??"
"Dashing Clan??' Asad asked, while Ayaan stood up, "Yes Bhai...the Dashing Members of the Dashing Clan!! Ourselves!!"
Asad laughed hearing that, while Dilshaad too sat over there looking at them.
"Bhaijaan...we are perfectly set and have rehearsed thoroughly for the event...and yeah...we have added a special performance too at the end...it's a suspense!!" Najma said with an excited look.
"Ohhh...I see!! Not bad at all!!!" Asad said, while he looked at Tanveer, "Tanveer, listen. Your first job is to go home now and alert Humeira and Shireen Ammi about the plan. Because you are the one who is going to come with Zoya here, okay?? And moreover if you stay here longer, she will start searching you there. So you leave now."
"Done, Sir!" Tanveer said and took leave from all.
"Mehwish" Asad called, while she came to him, "Music, song sequence, flower and balloon arrangements, all done??"
"100% Sir!!" Mehwish said with a smile, while Asad looked at everyone, "Hope you all remember when are your performance and such, right??"
"Yes Bhaijaan!!" Aysha said, while Shehzad came inside with a gift.
"Shehzad, where were you??" Asad asked, looking at him coming in.
"I am 3 hours early than required right??' Shehzad asked, while Asad nodded his head with a smile.
"I went to get a gift for Zoya" Shehzad said with a smile.
"Oh My God!!!" Imraan exclaimed while everyone looked at him.
"What's wrong dude??" asked Ayaan.
"I forgot to buy gift, Ayaan!!" Imraan said with his hand on his head.
"Don't worry, I bought a gift with both our names written in it. So that will do!!" Najma said with a smile, while Rashid walked from the room to the living room.
"Not bad, my little one started doing things responsibly huh??" Rashid asked raising his eyebrows, with a smile. Najma looked down smiling, while Ayaan went near Asad.
"Bhaijaan, what is your gift for Bhaabhi??" asked Ayaan, while Asad just gave a blushing smile hearing it.
"Yeah, what are you gifting her, beta??" Dilshaad asked.
"You guys concentrate on your performance" Asad shrugged off the question with a smile, while Ayaan continued pulling his legs.
"Bhaijaan, tell nah!!!" Aysha compelled, while Asad just smiled at all of them.
"Too personal to share!!!"
Everyone cheered hearing it, while Asad walked to his room with a blushing smile, while Dilshaad laughed looking at Asad.
Asad walked to his room, and closed the room, and sat at his couch with a smile.
He then walked to his closet and took out a box, and opened it and saw a beige colour chiffon saree which he had bought for Zoya. He caressed the saree and gave a smile.
"Tonight will be the best night for your life, Zoya!!! Just wait for some more hours!!"
"Ammi, you remember everything right???" Asad asked, while Dilshaad was giving a tensed look.
"Ammi!!!" Asad shook Dilshaad by her shoulders, and Dilshaad gave a puppy look at him.
"What happened Ammi??" Asad asked, looking at the watch, as it was 11:15 already.
"You had to create health issue for me only??" Dilshaad asked, "Look at your dad, he is laughing over there."
Rashid was laughing, while Asad too held back his smile looking at Rashid.
"Dad, don't laugh!!" Asad said, with a giggle and looked back at Dilshaad, "What to do Ammi?? Zoya will come home only with this reason. Okay?? Adjust haan!!"
Asad gave a comforting hug to Dilshaad and looked at Shehzad, "Shehzad, you leave now. You remember everything yeah??"
"Yep!!" Shehzad said and connected his Bluetooth headset, while Asad threw his car keys to Shehzad, and the latter rushed out.
"Alright!!! Listen everyone!!! Its time, okay??" Asad said while everyone gathered there in the best of their dresses all set for the party, "We all will be in a conference call, alright?? I don't want any mistake to happen in this plan. Ayaan, Humeira will reach with Shireen Ammi on time right??"
"Yes Bhaijaan, they already left under the pretext of a doctor's visit. They will reach in 10 minutes. Tanveer is with Bhaabhi at home."
"Good!! Mehwish, cake is ready??"
"Yes Sir. Razia Ma'am is taking care of it." Mehwish replied.
"Fine, everyone leave the living room now, and go to the terrace. Quick!!
Everyone rushed to the terrace, while Asad too followed them.
Shehzad reached Shireen's house, and talked to Asad in Bluetooth, "Asad, I reached home."
"Okay, keep in mind. Don't panic her a lot, and yeah, drive slow when you come with her. Better make her sit in the back, okay??" asked Asad, while Shehzad smiled, "I will take care of her and bring here, Asad. No worries!!"
Shehzad got out, and knocked at the door. Tanveer opened the door after a minute, and looked at Shehzad at the door.
"Ohhh...Shehzad?? You...here...at this time??" Tanveer asked, pretending that his arrival was unexpected, while Zoya too came at the door, and saw Shehzad.
"Bhaijaan, what happened??" Zoya looked at the wall clock, "You have come at this time?? All okay??"
"Zoya...Dilshaad Aunty fell down near the stairs..." Shehzad said, while Zoya panicked hearing it.
"What happened to Ammi??" Zoya asked in a panicked tone, while Shezhad calmed her, "Nothing to panic Zoya!! She is fine, just that there is no one at home as a striking coincidence. All have gone out for different reasons. Only I am home, and I feel there should be someone to take care of her now. I know it's too late, but..."
"No issues at all Bhaijaan!! I will come now itself. Just a minute!!" Zoya went in to take her mobile, while Tanveer smiled at Shehzad.
"Tannu, you stay at home. I will go with Shehzad Bhaijaan, okay??" said Zoya, while Tanveer replied, "Zoya, I will come along with you. I shall message Humeira. She has an extra key."
"Alright, come!!"
Zoya locked the door, and they both walked to the car with Shehzad.
"Bhaijaan, nothing serious nah??" asked Zoya, while Shehzad replied, "No Zoya. Just a sprain, but still there should be someone with her yeah, that's why I had to bother you at this night."
"No problem Bhaijaan, let's go fast." Zoya sat in the car, along with Tanveer, while Shehzad whispered on phone via Bluetooth.
"We have started!!"
Asad spoke to Ayaan, in the conference call, "Ayaan, lights off!!"
Zoya reached Khan Mansion with Shehzad and Tanveer, and Zoya barged in as soon as the car stopped.
"Shezu, I am going to the terrace, from this side. You go with Zoya!!"
Tanveer rushed through the staircase behind Khan Mansion to the terrace, while Shehzad followed Zoya.
"Ammi!!! Ammi!!" Zoya walked in, looking for Dilshaad.
"No one is here??" Zoya looked around and turned at Shehzad, "Bhaijaan, no one is here?? Where is Ammi??"
"Uhhh...upstairs!!"
"Upstairs?? Ammi's room is down right??"
"Yeah...she actually...fell down near Aysha's room only. So...she couldn't strain much..."
"Alright, I will go up then..." Zoya climbed the stairs up, while Shehzad whispered in his Bluetooth, "Ayaan, Zoya is coming up!!"
Hearing it, Ayaan slowly went with a cardboard in his hand, and peeped through the staircase gap and saw Zoya walking up to the first floor.
He dropped the cardboard on the floor hard, that Zoya looked up at the staircase towards the terrace, with a puzzled look. Ayaan grabbed the cardboard and hid at his place.
"What's that sound at the terrace??" Zoya looked up at the stairs.
"Ohh...yeah!!" Shehzad pretended to look up, and looked back at Zoya, "Maybe, Ammi went up or something?? To get some fresh air??"
"Ohhh...why is Ammi straining herself like this??" Zoya nodded her head in denial, and walked up to the stairs, while Shehzad followed her with a smile, and whispered back on phone, "Done!!"
Zoya reached up, and opened the terrace door and it was pitch dark, as they had covered the terrace with sheets. Shehzad closed the door slowly and, slipped to join the others, from behind Zoya.
Zoya tried to focus through that darkness, "Why is terrace this dark?? I can't see anything..."
She looked behind, "Bhaijaan, what is...Bhaijaan???"
Zoya panicked to find Shehzad missing from the place.
"We all have special days in life!!"
Zoya saw a spotlight on Ayaan, and saw him smiling, while Zoya gave a perplexed look.
"But those days are really special, when it is celebrated with our loved ones!!" said Najma on the next spotlight.
"So, as now it's going to be time..." said Aysha smiling in the next spotlight, and turned to her right, while the spotlights fell on an order, as everyone gave a countdown except Asad.
"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1!!!"
"And here we all wish you...!!!" Everyone said in unison, while Zoya felt someone's hands wrapping her waist, and a kiss on her right cheek.
"Happy Birthday sweetheart!!!" Zoya heard a whisper, and she turned behind and saw Asad smiling, and looking at her.
All the lights were switched on, and Zoya looked around in awe and closed her mouth, stunned looking at the setup, and at the same time surprised looking at Asad.
"Happy Birthday!!!!!!" Everyone shouted along with a loud applause, as flowers showered from the ground on Zoya and Asad.
Zoya couldn't believe her eyes, and looked at Asad with a wide smile, "Asad...you...my...you are here...these...Ya Allah!!!"
Zoya hugged Asad tightly, while Asad too hugged her back lovingly, and everyone came to them.
Asad and Zoya released from their hug, and Zoya looked at him, "Asad, you came back from New York?? How come...you are here...and this set-up...this is just..."
Asad cupped Zoya's face, "I didn't go anywhere. I was here only all the while. How will I leave my pregnant wife alone and go somewhere far...that too on her first birthday after I wedded her??"
Zoya had emotional tears filling her eyes, while Asad asked her, "Liked the surprise??"
"Is that even a question, Asad??" asked Zoya being emotional, "I just love it!!"
Zoya turned at Humeira, and held her ear, "And you...Humeira ki bacchi!! You and Ammi both lied to me and came here haan??"
"Ouuuchhh!!! Sorry Baaji!!!" Humeira said laughing, while kept her hands on her hip and looked at Shehzad.
"And Bhaijaan, you too are no less, haan!! What all stories you cooked up...Ammi fell down...no one at home...and this Tannu too acted with you haan??"
Shehzad laughed hearing that, and held his ears, and said with a smile, "Sorry!!"
"We all had to abide by the instructions, beta!!" Shireen said smiling.
"Very cleverly you all fooled me haan??" Zoya asked everyone with a smile.
"But Bhaabhijaan, the entire script was given by your hubby only. We were only supposed to perform our roles!!" Ayaan said, with his hand over Najma, and Najma too nodded her head playfully.
"Alright. Now let's go and cut the cake. Come!!" Asad said, and he took Zoya at the center where the cake was kept. It was Zoya's favorite Chocolate Truffle Cake. Zoya smiled looking at it. Asad gave her the knife, and as she blew the candles, everyone clapped looking happily at Zoya.
Zoya then cut the cake, and took the piece to Asad, while Asad took the piece and kept it close to her mouth, "First for our child!!"
Zoya smiled, and had the cake, while Imraan clicked photographs. Shireen was happy seeing Asad's care and concern for Zoya and their child.
Zoya then gave the cake to Asad, Shireen, Rashid and Dilshaad.
"Bhaabhi!!! We too are waiting for the cake in line!!" said Ayaan with a paper plate, while Zoya laughed and gave a piece to all.
"So yeah...gift ceremony can take place now!!!" Razia said looking at all, and all gave their gifts to Zoya, while Zoya collected it and kept it aside.
"Where is your gift?? Zoya asked Asad raising her eyebrows, while Asad just looked aside and smiled scratching his temples.
"Too personal to share!!!" Ayaan, Najma, Aysha and Imraan said sarcastically in chorus, and they broke into laughter.
Zoya looked at Asad hearing it, and she looked down blushing, and took glances at all, while Asad just smiled hearing it.
"Okay okay!!!" Rashid said, "So now time for the actual birthday event!!!"
"Event???" Zoya asked, and looked at Asad, while Asad pointed his hand and Zoya saw a small stage set up over there with chairs over there.
Zoya smiled looking it with a surprise, and everyone went over there.
"So, here is a small family event which we have organized for your birthday, Zoya!!!" said Mehwish in the mike. Zoya opened her eyes wide hearing it, and smiled.
"So, our first performance by the second happening couple of Khan Mansion, after you both!!" Mehwish said, while Zoya and Asad smiled hearing it.
"Ayaan and Humiera...on Jiyaa from Gunday!!!"
"My favorite song!!!" Zoya exclaimed hearing it, while Asad was happy to see Zoya delightful. Rashid, Dilshaad, Razia, Shireen and all the other youngsters were seated at the audience place.
The lights went dim, while Ayaan and Humeira gave a scintillating performance, and Imraan whistled looking at it, with Aysha, Shehzad and Najma cheering for them.
They ended their dance with a loud applause from all, while Dilshaad said, "Kya baat hai!!!"
Humeira closed her face shyly, and Ayaan gave a shy look at Humeira.
"Superb!!!!" Zoya shouted and clapped, while Asad gave a "Not bad" look at Ayaan, with a teasing smile.
"Okay...so Ayaan and Humeira set the stage so burning hot...and now we shall see a cool dance from the youngest couple of this house...Imraan and Najma...on a slow and melodious romantic number...Churaake Dil Mera!!"
"Asad!!" Zoya looked at him, while others were clapping for Imraan and Najma, "This is also my favorite song!!! Was this planned??" Zoya asked with questioning smile.
"Of course!! Your birthday, everything has to happen as you like yeah??" Asad asked, while Zoya slipped her hand through Asad's hand and looked at the stage.
Najma and Imraan danced beautifully, while Zoya was feeling loved in that song and looked at Asad who was looking at the dance with a smile. Zoya felt so special on experiencing all these surprises and love from Asad. She placed her head on Asad's shoulder, and Asad looked at her.
"I love you..." Zoya whispered, while Asad smiled and said back, "Love you too, baby!!"
Imraan and Najma ended their dance, and everyone gave a loud applause, while Ayaan stood on the chair.
"Waaah!!! Chotti...today you became an older girl with this performance!!!"
Najma giggled looking down, while Dilshaad pulled Ayaan down, and Rashid too was laughing along with everyone.
"Oyee Chupa Rustam!!!" Asad said looking at Imraan, "That day you hesitated to dance at the lawn...today...not bad!!!! Nice!!!!"
Imraan laughed, while Najma ran down and Imraan too got down.
"Okay!!!" Mehwish said as she got up, "So, now there is a different type of performance...and the performer himself would like to tell about it! Shehzad...come up!!!"
Shehzad came up and got the mike from Mehwish, "Well...I can't perform a couple dance here...as my fiance is not here!!"
Zoya listened to it with a smile, while Tanveer and Mehwish giggled at Shehzad and showed him faces.
"So...I am here to dance with my Dilliwali Girlfriend!!!"
"Dilliwali Girlfriend??" asked Zoya with a confused look.
Shehzad smiled and extended his hand to the left, while Aysha showed up.
"Waah Shehzad!! What a perfect song for Delhi Radio's daughter!!" Ayaan said, while Aysha stared at him, and Dilshaad patted on Asad's head and all started laughing.
"Well...this is a contest between me and Shehzad itself!!" Aysha said staring at Shehzad, while Shehzad gave a secret wink at her, while Aysha opened her eyes wide. They both started dancing for Dilliwali Girlfriend.
All the youngsters enjoyed it and were constantly whistling for it, while Zoya too joyfully clapped at the end of the song.
"What a power-packed performance!!!" Asad clapped looking at them both.
"Honey..." Ayaan moved closer to Humeira while all were clapping at them both, "Don't you think Shehzad looks more appropriate with Aysha, than Saima??"
"Idiot...what are you blabbering??" asked Humeira, while others were busy talking to Shehzad and Aysha.
"I am serious!!!" Ayaan said, "If Shehzad hadn't come under the pretext of marrying Saima nah, I would have definitely patched these both together!! I mean look at these both...they are too perfect...like the factor which is missing between Shehzad and Saima, I can see it with these both!"
"Stop blabbering stuff which won't happen, Ayaan!! Aysha to will get a better guy...like Shehzad!!" Humeira said with a smile, while Ayaan too smiled and looked at them both, with thoughts in mind.
"Okay!!!!! So, as you have seen all the performances..." Mehwish said, while Zoya interrupted, "Wait wait!!! You and Tannu didn't perform yet!"
"Just wait for the last fusion performance, Zoya!!!" said Tanveer coming up to the stage, "Asad Sir, you remember we had said that we added a surprise performance in this event?? Here it is!! Guys!!!! Time for the final blast!!! Music!!"
The music started for Gallan Goodiyan, and Ayaan entered the stage.
Zoya clapped rhythmically and Asad too was surprised looking at the final element. Everyone stood up from their places, including Rashid, Dilshaad, Shireen and Razia , and they all started dancing together, while Ayaan pulled Asad and Zoya to the center, and all of them danced around them, while Asad danced looking at Zoya with light Punjabi beats, while Zoya was laughing, and he finally lifted Zoya and twirled her lightly, and everyone ended the dance with a loud round of applause and cheers.
