In Asad's room that night, he was placing some money inside his chest in the closet when he felt some cold thing touch his fingers. Feeling confused & curious he pulled it out & realized it was an earring, precisely Zoya's earring that was left with him that day.
He remembered how he found it in his shirt's pocket after returning home & kept it safe in his closet. Not knowing how to return it back he kept it safe with himself.
As he sat on his bed with her earring he started thinking how Zoya ruled his mind from the past One month. His every effort to not think about her became futile. She keeps coming in his thoughts, his dreams & he couldn't do anything about it., except feeling guilty for the tears she shed due to him.
Clasping the earring in his palm & closing his eyes, He makes a silent prayer for her, wishing she forgets the pain that she had to experience due to him & her coming life be filled with Happiness.
After sometime he gets up & placing the earring back in the safe, called it a night. Unaware that his mother saw him with the earring.

-Bhabhi kya kar rahi hain aap? Dilshaad asked entering Raziya's room next day little late in the morning.
-Are aao na Dilshaad ...kuch nahi bas yeh kuch kapde they socha samet dun... tum aao betho. Raziya replied & removed the cloths aside to make room for Dilshaad to sit.
-Layiye main aapki help kar dun..
-Nahi Dilshaad bas ho gya...
Raziya refused but still Dilshaad picked some cloths & started folding them.
-Aaj ka toh din hi Lamba lag raha hai nahi bhabhi?...Bachiyan college chali gyi hain aur Gaffur bhai Asad ke saath office... ghar main bhi kuch zyada kaam nahi hai... aur Iftaar tak khane ki bhi koi tension nahi. Dilshaad said while folding.
-Han Dilshaad par Allah yeh garmi... Is saal toh sare record tod degi lagta hai... aisa chalta raha toh bada mushkil ho jayega. Raziya voiced shaking her head.
-Mushkil toh hai Bhabhi par Allah agar mushkil deta hai toh usse sehne ka hosla bhi de deta hai. Inshallah sab ache se hoga..Dilshaad said with smile.
-Bilkul Allah Khair kare!...lao mujhe de do. Raziya asked Dilshaad to pass her the cloths she folded.
Taking all the clothes she went to put them in the cupboard.
-Waise bhabhi mujhe aapse ek baat puchni thi kal ke bare main? Dilshaad remembered why she came there & said.
-Han han pucho konsi baat? Raziya asked while arranging cloths in cupboard.
-Wahi jo aapne Rukhsaar bi se kaha... Humne toh Asad ke liye koi rishta tey nahi kiya phir aapne kyun kaha? She asked confusedly.
-Yah Allah ! Tum uss baat se pareshaan ho...tch..tum bhi na... Raziya said turning towards Dilshaad & closing the cupboard she came to sit near Dilshaad. Are woh toh maine jaan bujh ke kaha tha, Asad ke reactions dekhne ke liye...she revealed...Ab hum toh jante hain Asad aise mamlon main kitna introvert hai, aur apne dil ki baat woh khud hume nahi btayega... Par woh khud kuch nahi kahega toh hum haath pe haath rakhke bethe rahenge kya? nahi na... Toh bas maine andhere main teer chlaya aur woh sidha nishane pe jake lag gya. Raziya said with a conspiring smile.
-Offo aur mujhe kuch samjh hi nahi aaya. Dilshaad laughed.
-Tum itni bholi jo ho... aur utna hi buddhu hai humara Asad... Dekha nahi kaise uske chehre ka rang ud gya tha achanak aur uske chehre pe saaf likha tha ki woh yeh khabar sunke khush nahi tha. Raziya said.
-Han Bhabhi infact isiliye toh main aapse baat karne aayi thi... kyunki kal raat Asad ko dekhke toh yahi lag raha tha ki jaise uske man main koi hai aur woh uske ilawa kisi aur ka saath nahi chahta... tabhi toh dekho humsha har rishte ko talta rehta hai. Dilshaad explained thoughtfully.
-Hmm aur uske yahi reactions yeh proof karte hain ki Asad ke Dil pe kisi ka kabza ho chuka hai...Raziya concluded.
-Par Bhabhi kal raat jab main Asad ke kamre main gayi toh maine uske haath main ek earning dekha jise woh bade pyaar se dekh raha tha. Dilshaad told suddenly remembering about last night.
-Han toh ho sakta hai woh earing Zoya ka ho!
-Par aap aise kaise sure ho sakti hain bhabhi? kisi aur ka bhi ho sakta hai? Warna if Asad really loved her toh phir mana kyun kiya? Dilshaad said feeling confused.
-Dilshaad agar ek baar woh earning mil gya toh hum ladki ka bhi pta lga lenge? Tum chalo... It's time for some detectivegiri. Raziya wickedly said with mischief in eyes & her face looking comical.

-Prasad woh Mehta & Sons ke designs ready ho gye ? Asad asked after signing some papers & giving them back to Prasad.
-Yes sir they are ready.. Prasad replied.
-Ok... unke saath meeting kab hai? Asad enquired.
-Sir they are coming on 2:30 in the noon.
-hmm...Asad nodded.
-And sir jo Malik's se payment due thi woh bhi aa gyi hai... he informed.
-That's really good.. looks like everything is going fine. Asad said with a small smile.
-yes sir. Prasad smiled replying back.
-Ah.. Prasad woh maine tumse Office staff ke liye iftaar arrange karne ko kaha tha, ho gya? He suddenly remembered.
-Jee sir.. staff canteen main Iftaar ke liye arrangements kiye gaye hain. And as you ordered sabko inform kar diya gya hai about the change in office timings for this month. Prasad informed about everything in advance.
-Thank u Prasad... You r indeed a very efficient employee..I appreciate that. Asad smiled complimenting his efficiency.
-Thank you sir... And sir humara jo naya housing project hai jiske liye apne advertisement ideas mange the staff se, uska interesting feedback hai, majority people are saying we should bring some popular actor on board... Infact aajkal it's quite a trend... what do you think sir? Prasad happily informed expecting a positive response.
-Well I know it's very common these days Prasad to bring actors or popular celebrities on board,... but I believe the quality of your product should speak for itself... Agar apka product acha hai toh apko kisi aur ke naam ka sahara lene ki koi zarorat nahi padegi... So I will definitely not go with this idea. Asad politely declined for the suggestion.
-I m getting what you mean sir...and that's really courageous thought... warna aajkal toh log jaldi success pane ke liye shortcuts hi lete hain... specially young aur ambitious generation... but apke guts aur samjh dekhke I m felling really privileged to work with you sir... I can see that with your wise thoughts & decisions you'll take this company to new heights. Prasad praised Asad genuinely.
-Thank you Prasad but i believe in team work... kisi bhi company ki success ka credit wahan kaam karne wale efficient & hardworking staff ko bhi jata hai... & past ek month main aap sabne jaise mujhe co-operate kiya hai... I'll hope for the same kind of support in future... Taki hum sab ek saath humari Company ko aage le ja saken.
-Absolutely Sir.. & I assure you, we'll always be there & support you in your each & every decision.
-I m sure.. Asad nodded in response & with that Prasad excused himself.
As soon as Asad's cabin's door closed he relaxed himself in his chair & rested his head on headrest. Staring above at the ceiling he recalled what Prasad said.
Obviously he doesn't want to use any celebrity's name for advertising his housing project, He had trust on himself & knew if everything went as planned their project will be a big success, but that was not the only reason. When prasad said about actors than Asad's mind zeroed down to only one person in Bollywood which was of Zoya. And obviously he can't approach her, not that he want to, as he was the one who was running away from her, due to which he refused.
-hhh... Zoya Farooqui why are you not leaving me in peace... What have you done... he wondered aloud with a sigh closing his eyes.
********************
-It's done mam... said Zoya's hair stylist Martha on finishing styling her hair for shoot.
-Thanks Martha, It's looking beautiful... smiled Zoya happily inspecting her hairdo from both sides.
-Well it'll have to Mam... afterall any hairstyle looks beautiful on you... Martha praised Zoya's beauty as being youngster she herself was very fond of Zoya.
-thank... Zoya giggled & was going to thank her when she suddenly started hiccupping.
-Oh! here let me pour you some water... She quickly filled a glass of water & forwarded to Zoya who's hiccups were not stopping.
Zoya took the glass & gulped few sips. When she stopped & breathed a sigh of relief it again started. And feeling helpless she took few more sips but it was of no use.
-Looks like someone is missing you terribly... hmm koi chahne wala...Marha who was standing there teased Zoya with a naughty smirk.
Zoya treated her staff really nicely & specially her designer friend Pinks & hair stylist Martha who were almost the same age as Zoya, therefore specially these two doesn't get intimidated & at times tease Zoya.
Hearing Martha Zoya suddenly stopped worrying about hiccups & her thoughts moved towards Asad.
-Par jisse main chahti hun woh toh mujhe yaad hi nahi karta. she whispered very softly to herself.
-What? Martha questioned confusedly.
-Nothing Martha... there is no one special as of yet... Zoya said jokingly to stop Martha for going further... & you stop spoiling my mind with thoughts ok... I have serious scene to shot today. she added narrowing her eyes to fake scold her.
-OK..Martha laughed raising her hands in surrender.
Zoya's phone started ringing so Martha left giving her privacy as her work was over.
-Don't worry Aapi... I m not exhausting & taking care of myself... Aakir pehli baar thodi hai jo maine Roza rakha hai... Zoya said trying to assure Zeenat...Ab sare Roze toh nahi rakh pati... But i'll try to keep as much as I can... & waise bhi scene zyada exhausting nahi hain... aur sab boht helpful hain knowing it's Ramdan & we are fasting... So aap please tension mat lo...ab bachi nahi hun main... she said naughtily to make a point to Zeenat who was worrying about Zoya & calling again & again to check on her... Ok bye Aapi, I gotta go shot ready hai..she quickly said before disconnecting the call when a spot boy came to call her.

-Yah Allah pura karma chann mara par kuch bhi nahi mila. Raziya tiredly said sitting on the living room Sofa feeling spent.
-Pta nahi Asad ne kahan chupa ke rakha hai woh earring... Ab iss se toh mera shaq aur pkka ho gya hai... warna koi special earring na hota toh is tarah chuppa ke thodi rakhta. said Dilsaad.
-Main toh pehle hi keh rahi thi... aur dekhna tum Dilshaad woh earring bhi Zoya ka hi hoga. Raziya said confidently.
-Kon Zoya?.... a voice came from behind them
As both Dilshaad & Raziya turned, they got surprised seeing Gaffur standing with a confused look. As they were sitting with their back towards the entrance they didn't notice anyone coming inside.
-Kis ki baat kar rahi hain aap dono? He again asked on not getting any response.
-Jee..jee..woh kuch nahi hum toh bas aise hi.. It was Raziya who recovered first & came forward to answer.
Both the ladies were thinking that Has Gaffur listened to their whole conversation or not?
Gaffur looked unconvinced with her reply & looked at them both with uncertainty.
-Are Bhai sahab aap itni jaldi kaise aa gye? Dilshaad quickly asked to change the topic
Raziya looked at her & showed appreciation with her eyes for her quick & thoughtful action. But Gaffur also saw their exchange & his doubt increased.
-Han woh aaj office main kaam kam tha toh Asad ne Zid karke mujhe ghar bhej diya... Waise Dilshaad Asad jitna kabil aur honhaar hai utna hi Ziddi bhi hai. Gaffur fondly said as he took seat on the Sofa on other side.
Raziya & Dilshaad relaxed taking a breadth of relief that Gaffur left the previous topic. They too sat down and smiled listening about Asad.
Just as they were relaxing Gaffur brought another topic which shocked the ladies.
-Beharhaal issi baat se yaad aaya ! Hume lagta hai Dilshaad ab hume Asad ke Nikah ke baare main sochna chaiye? Warna woh toh jab dekho kaam main hi busy rehta hai...he said shaking head with disapproval... Hume lagta hai uski Zindagi main rangon ki kami hai... Kuch mohabat ke rang hone chahiyen...Nahi? ... Balki Azhar toh kal shaam hi mujhe ek ladki ke baare main bta raha tha... Main soch raha tha unhein han keh dun ? he added looking very calm but his insides were bursting with laughter seeing the ladies comical expressions.
He sure knew there was something amiss when both of them looked disturbed as they saw him & later their silent conversation through the eyes proved there was something cooking in their brains. Therefore he decided to have some enjoyment before asking them to disclose the secret.
-Yeh aap kya keh rahe hain jee? Asad ka Nikah bina usse se puche.. Yeh sahi nahi hai Kyun Dilshaad?... Raziya desperately said & than elbowed Dilshaad to open her mouth.
Here they didn't even got to know about Asad's feelings that now another problem came.
-Han Bhaisahab... Bhabi sahi keh rahi hain aise.. kaise?
-Kyun nahi Dilshaad? Aur kuch saalon baad humari teeno bachiyan bhi Sasural chali jayengi... Isliye main chahta hun unki vidaai se pehle Is ghar ki bahu aa jaye?... Aur phir bachiyon ko bhi haq hai ki woh apni eklaui bhabhi ke saath waqt bitayen... Shaadi ke baad kon unhein yahan lambe time ke liye mayke chodega?... Isliye Mera man yahi hai ki Bahu ab jald aa jaye... Gaffur said thoughtfully. Although he was having fun in the act still he meant all the things that he said.
-Nahi Bhai sahab Azhar Bhai ka rishta hum nahi kar sakte... Dilshaad voiced.
No way was she letting her Son's love story to have a sad ending.
-Kyun? He asked looking confused while inside he knew the truth is about to be revealed.
-Kyunki...Kyunki ab zamana badal gya hai? Aajkal ke bache toh khud hi life partner chunte hain... Haina Bhabhi?... Dilshaad tried to reason making weird excuses.
-Bbb...bilkul... aur kya pta Asad ko koi ladki pehli hi pasand ho... Phir hum uska dil kaise tood sakte hain... aap mana kar dijiye bas... Raziya too echoed Dilshaad's reason finishing discussion.
-Hmm... Aur uss ladki ka naam hai Zoya.. Gaffur announced confidently easing back into backrest of the sofa.
Raziya & Dilshaad's mouths opened & eyes widened in shock when Gaffur's words downed & his proud smile make them realise that they came into his trap.
