The dilemma (AsYa SS) [update p30] - Page 9

~4~

Zoya was tossing around in her bed when she heard someone knocking at her front door. She got up immediately and ran to open the door. It was Dilshad and her eyes were bloody red.

"Phuphi.." Zoya said taken aback as Dilshad collapsed in her arms.

"Zoya please come back home!" Dilshad sobbed.

"Please! Only you can save my family Zoya!" She said and Zoya didn't know what to do.

"Zoya you were right! Tanveer is a witch!" Dilshad said and hugged her tightly.

"Please come back home! Save my family Zoya! Our family!" Dilshad cried and Zoya thought about it before turning her back to Dilshad.

"How can you ask me this phuphi?" She enquired.

Then she left to her room and picked an ultrasound of her baby. She gave it to Dilshad.

"Do you see this? This is my baby. And your son Asad Ahmed Khan doesn't care about how he screwed me up. True, I agreed on this night but he too agreed, but still the one who will be pointed at will be me, my unborn baby will be the one to be called bas***d. During this time you son will only care for himself. I'm not some toy phuphi, blood is running through my veins, I've got a heart beating inside my body. I would like to save you phuphi but I just can't do anything but offering you to come here with Najma and I but I don't want to be Zoya Ahmed Khan."

"Zoya, Asad isn't the only one who has been fooled. Tanveer fooled you too. Your father isn't dead Zoya. Your father is very much alive."

"What are you saying phuphi?"

"Your father is Ghafoor Ahmed Sidiqqui."

Tanveer's goons were silently cutting the tires under Dilshad's car. The driver was tired as it was only 2 in the morning so he didn't see anything.

Zoya sat next to the window as she reconsidered everything Dilshad said.

"If Ghafoor Ahmed Siddiqui is my father, that means that I'm Humzie's sister!" She gasped.. "But I'm the daughter of the man who destroyed Asad's life. Even though I manage to put some senses in his mind, he will never love me once he'll know the truth about me..."

"A child doesn't have to be punished for the sins of the father." Dilshad said and Zoya realized that Dilshad was talking about her but also about her baby.

"I can't do this phuphi.. I can't give him the opportunity to hurt me once again... he lost me the day I walked through the front door and he didn't stop me from doing so."

"And will you destroy it? Will you stay here and let him destroy his life, your life and this innocent life which is growing inside of you right now? I'm not you Zoya, but I know how hard it can be for a mother to explain to her children why daddy won't hold them at night. I know that forgiving is hard but why can't you try? Just a little, one last time.." Dilshad said crying.

"I'm always the one forgiving Phuphi! I love Asad but I can't go like this once again. I trust him once, twice...Look I'm even his fianc!" She cried extending her hand for Dilshad to see the beautiful diamond ring. "But if he breaks my heart each time I try to open his then I can't go on like this." Zoya said.

"Ok then.." Dilshad finally agreed and she wiped her tears away. "Allah Hafiz Zoya." She added before leaving.

Zoya ran to her room and took her music box. The soothing music played while she was thinking. She didn't want to leave Dilshad in Tanveer's mercy but then that meant that she had to marry Asad in order to definitely push Tanveer away from them..

"Wajid, please slow down, you're driving too fast." Dilshad exclaimed.

"Mrs Khan I can't!" He shouted alarmed.

"What?" Dilshad was now worried as they were nearing a difficult road and the car was going faster and faster.

"Mrs Khan, we need to find a way to escape!" Wajid said frightened to the core.

Later in the morning, while Asad was searching for his mother, there was a knock at the front door.

"Mr Asad Ahmed Khan?" A police inspector asked.

"Ji?" Asad replied.

"I'm inspector Malik, I'm sorry Mr Khan to announce you that earlier this morning, your mother has been involved in an accident, the car exploded and everyone in the car died.." The inspector said and Asad felt his world shattering into pieces.

"Are you sure that.." He tried to say.

"I'm sorry Mr Khan, it's impossible for someone to survive in such accident." The inspector said. Asad regained his composure and picked his phone to call Zoya.

"Ms Farooqui?" He said and Zoya lost her words. Why did he call her?

"Ms..Zoya..I..Najma..Zoya, my mother got into an accident..and.. she..She died.." Asad said and behind him Tanveer smiled evilly as her plan worked.

As soon as Zoya heard this, her heart broke into pieces. Her conversation with Dilshad came back in her mind and she was sure that Tanveer had something to do with Dilshad's death.

"Najma!" Zoya called while she hurried to get ready. "Najma we need to go back home right now!" Zoya sobbed. And when Najma appeared, Zoya hugged her tightly.

"Najma, please be strong Tamatar..Because..phuphi..phuphi died in an accident." Zoya said and Najma covered her mouth in shock before breaking into tears. Zoya hugged her tightly, rubbing her back to calm her bestfriend.

"Let's go back home." Zoya said and went back to the Khan Villa. She brought her luggages and Najma brought hers too.

Zoya was a bit tense to face back Mr Khan but she couldn't let him alone in this situation and knowing that Tanveer had probably killed her phuphi reduced her tiny trust towards Tanveer to a total lack of trust.

"Jammy are you okay?" Tanveer asked bringing him a coffee. "Will we have to postpone the wedding because..the ..baby.." Tanveer said and Asad pushed the cup of coffee away startling Tanveer.

"Leave me alone will you? My mother just passed away and what you just care about is this f**king wedding! If you don't know, I'm just marrying you for the baby, not for you!" He said, oblivious to Zoya and Najma's arrival who heard everything.

'Baby? So it's not Tanveer over Zoya but it's baby over Zoya..' Zoya thought..

"Asalamu'alaikum" Najma and Zoya said and Asad walked towards them and without thinking twice he hugged the two most important people in his life not even caring for what they just heard.. Zoya and Najma.

Nice update
Dilshad Zoya convo was good
She told her to come home & save her family. Dilshad had an accident & she died. So Zoya got to know why Asad decided to marry tanveer. Waiting for next update soon. Thanks for pm

Amazing update

Nice..
But plz don't say dilshad really died...
I hate tanveer..
Yes I understood ur point...
But what I don't understand is..
He loves zoya n someone attack her frequently... But said that it is on tanver but every time its zoya who got burnt...but still he didn't do anything to find culprit...
N let him free to roam aroundgiving more chances to him in his view to hurt them..
Now I want this blame to go on on tanveers so called husband ...
Even now will asad sit calm n let the culprit free...
Or will he take any action against culprit as now the victim is his mother...
Or cry sitting in the corner of the room...
I just love this strong zoya n nazma who have lot more brains n logic than asad...
What I never understand is he don't want Marian as she may cause threat to his family...
But he let his so called friend stay even after knowing she is treat to his family especially zoya...
That's y I hate asad in the matter of tanveer ...
He showed double standards..
He left his cousin alone in need when he sense threat but not tanveer even after seeing zoya in almost death bed coz of tanveers so called husband...
Baby or not shouldn't he thought at leat once.
There is possibility that may be even zpya is pregnant...
Now asads stupidity n blind faith in his friend cost him his mother happy family n love ...n future baby...
I can't wait for him to know about pregnancy n tanveers real face...
N how fool he have been to take the decision of both asad n zoyas by himself...
Enjoy ur vacation...

Okay guys, I'd be leaving in a few hours, as I just had time to write another chapter, I'll try to answer your comments later. I'm sure that I won't have internet connection during this month so I wish you a happy end of Ramadan and Eid Mubarak insha allah ❤️ I'm ending this chapter in a more happy note that the past ones ^^ as I'll be back by the 4th~5th of august insha allah.

Feeling his arm around her, his face on his shoulder gave to Zoya the confidence she needed and something came in her mind.

"I want him back.. for phuphi and the baby but also for me.." She thought.

Without thinking twice, Zoya closed her eyes and inhaled his scent deeply.

"Oh so you're back!" Tanveer exclaimed and Asad, Najma and Zoya broke their embrace.

Najma walked to Tanveer and slapped her.

"Don't act all caring now! Bhaijaan must be blinded by your relationship but I'm not! I know that you brain washed my brother but I won't let you. I promise that I'll continue my mother's job and I'll make Asad marry my bhabhi Zoya! This is not your fake pregnancy which will stop me!"

"Please Najma behave, as you heard it Tanveer is pregnant!" Asad said and Zoya rolled her eyes in annoyance did he have shit covering his eyes or what?

"Tanu, Tanu.. Everything is about her! But did you ever think about Zoya? Of course not! You know what? I'm done with your shit Asad! Either you take the right decision by marrying the one you love or you screw up five lives by taking this witch as your wife, but if you chose Tanveer, then I chose Zoya. I already lost my mother, it seems like I'm losing my brother but I won't lose my best friend." Najma said, finally having the guts to talk in front of Asad.

Zoya looked at the scene, thinking about a way to have Asad back. Then an idea popped in Ms Farooqui''s beautiful mind. First she had to take revenge on Tanveer through Razia Siddiqui and she knew how!

"Tamatar, please don't argue with Mr Khan, after all he's.." Zoya said but then she fainted and just in time Asad managed to get her.

"Zoya!" Najma exclaimed and Tanveer boiled with anger. Asad carried Zoya in his room and he put her in his bed, then he kissed her forehead.

"I'm so sorry for breaking you Zoya. You deserve every sweet thing in this world. I just wish that I wasn't idiot enough to follow Tanveer in the outskirts of Bhopal the night of our wedding. But even though I love you enough to give my virginity to you, I didn't love you enough to trust you and I regret that Zoya. Every cell in my body regrets that I didn't give you the trust, the protection, the love you wanted.. And now I.. we're both paying for my mistakes because now I have to marry Tanveer in order to take care of this baby." He said and he was ready to get up but then Zoya stopped him by holding his hand.

"Zoya..you're awake?"

"Are you ready to trust me Mr Khan? When will you stop watching with your eyes and start thinking with your brain and feeling with your heart? You destroy us without talking to me first as.. as if I didn't have the right to interfere in your problems once again.. Am I still the guest in your house? In your heart?" She asked. "Last night, before her accident, phuphi came to my house crying because her son was messing up his life, destroying this little family that she tried to preserve for 17 years.. Is it what you want? To marry a girl because she's probably pregnant after a night you don't even remember? But what about this night we shared three months ago? What about the fact that the day after you dragged me to the court to marry me? Is this what you think, that marriage can fix your mistakes?" She asked while tears were threatening to fall.

"Zoya.."

"No Mr Khan please save your explanations.." She added.

They were disturbed by a knock on the door. It was Najma.

"Bhaijaan the lawyer is here!" She said and Asad along with Zoya left the room oblivious to the woman standing outside the window, who heard everything.

Asad greeted the lawyer and they sat in the living room to talk about Dilshad's testament.

"Mr Khan, in her testament, Mrs Dilshad Ahmed Khan wanted that your first wife heirs everything she possessed." The lawyer said and Najma was taken aback to know that unfortunately her mother left anything to her but she gave everything to Tanveer as she would be Asad's wife in a few days.

Zoya was beyond shock, she was Asad's first wife, so that meant that..

"Mrs Khan possessed this house, a property located in Manali and an other one in Jaipur. Plus, Dilshad Ahmed Khan was the major owner of Dilshad Constructions, owning 75% of the company. Also, she gave to her daughter Najma Ahmed Khan the right to own 50% of her bank accounts, the other half goes to her son Asad Ahmed Khan and his wife. Anyway there is a clause, all of Dilshad properties which are destined to her first bahu will be hers once she becomes pregnant, before that, they are all Mr Asad and Miss Najma Ahmed Khan's heritage." The lawyer said and Zoya was happy that even dead, Dilshad had done everything to protect her.

On the other hand, Najma was tense because Tanveer was already pregnant and the only thing left was her marriage to Asad then she knew that her life will be a living hell.

A while after, Zoya and Najma were preparing the dinner for the iftar when Najma cut her finger. It wasn't a deep cut but Najma collapsed on the ground and cried.

"Zoya, once this witch will marry Asad, I'll lost everything my mom fought for! The company, the houses of her ancestors, her money, everything! How can I manage to save my ammi's last possessions?" She sobbed.

"Don't worry Tamatar, everything will be okay. Nothing will happen to you nor to your mother's properties." Zoya said. She knew this quite well as she was the owner of Dilshad's properties now, being pregnant and getting secretly married to Asad gave her the hope she needed to fight Tanveer.

During the iftaar, the ambiance was really tense. Asad was deep in thoughts, thinking about the fact that his first wife was Zoya so that meant that she was the right owner of all these things.

"Najma, tomorrow, I need to go somewhere, do you mind if I leave you here alone?" Zoya asked and Najma looked at Zoya with pleading eyes. If she was there alone, that meant that she would be with Tanveer.

"Actually, tomorrow I'm going to the mall with some of my friends!" She lied.

"Okay, then you can go to the mall and when I'll go back home I'll pick you up okay?" Zoya said and Najma nodded.

After they washed the dishes, Najma went to sleep in Zoya's room, while Zoya was cleaning Dilshad's room. When she left, Tanveer caught her arm.

"So you're back Miss Farooqui! Didn't you get hurt enough?" Tanveer said.

"Tss.. Tanveer I'm not scared of you! You can say everything you want, marry Asad if you want to but you'll always be the second one." Zoya said and Tanveer pinched her cheeks.

"How cute you are! Still believing that you have a chance with Jammy!" Tanveer said.

"Don't you know that I'm having a child, we're having a child?" She said.

"You're nothing but a wh**e! He doesn't love you, he's marrying you just for the sake of the baby, not for you!" Zoya said and Tanveer was going to slap her when Asad caught her hand.

"What's gotten in your mind Tanu? Why are you annoying Zoya??" Asad said pulling Tanveer's hand down.

"Were into the holy month of Ramadan, please behave, Zoya was just thinking about the happy days when my mother was around, I don't understand your need to taunt her with the fact that I'm marrying you and once again, it's just for the sake of the baby not for you."

~6~

Like seriously even after marrying zoya legally he is thinking to marry tanveer...
Arghh..

He is so dumb n currently very very annoying...
