It was Eid's night people were celebrating their most celebrated festival with great joy & enthusiasm. They were wishing & hugging each other. Laughter was echoing & every face was reflecting happiness. After a whole month of keeping fasts & praying to Allah for always been there showering his dua's, people were delighted & enjoying the festival.
Asad has hosted the Grand Eid celebration party. It was organized in the Sunshine orphanage the one he sponsors & his mom was an active volunteer of. From the last three years he was doing so for the children & many rich people supports him as well in the novel cause. Dilshaad was proud of her son & his accomplishments. He not only reached heights in his career but also was very humble & kind for always being there for doing such nice works.
Asad was present with Dilshaad & Najma. Meeting with everyone accepting their wishes being the nice hosts. All of them were missing Zoya very much today. Asad couldn't talk to Zoya as she left office the other day after their little argument in his cabin. She was not picking his calls & even refused to talk to him when he tried talking through Ayaan.
Dilshaad was the saddest with it after all it was their family's 1st Eid after the Nikah. She knew there were so many problems but she hoped that Zoya will come. She knew her idiot Son was EC just like Zoya says but she wished atleast she would be there with them on Eid.
It wasn't like they haven't met her after she left KV. She came to meet them many times in Home whenever Asad was not there and even arranged to meet many times for their lunch & shopping sprees which they were sure Asad didn't knew about. Only if they knew...
But there was no use of being sad & especially on Eid so she just wishes wherever Zoya stays she always stay happy & blessed. Sending a silent pray to the almighty she pressed her eyes when a small girl came running asking for sweets & she became busy with her..
*******************
Asad was greeting some guests when Tanveer came from the side wishing & including herself in their conversation which Asad didn't liked. These days he used to feel irritated whenever he sees her anywhere close to him. He knew she was his friend but he was a married man now & he doesn't like when she forcefully takes care of him. Many times he tried to avoid her infact tried to ignore her presence as well but she was too chipko to have notice it on her own that Asad doesn't like her presence everywhere around him.
Sometimes he feels guilty as if he was committing some crime behind Zoya's back. She was his wife & the only one who has the right to take care of him or be by his side. Just like at the moment he wished it was Zoya standing beside him but seeing Tanveer instead spread anger across his body. He was just about to scold her when a business associates wife Mrs Bhalla who was Punjabi & was funny woman & loves dressing in bright colors spoke..
-Oh wow Mr Khan is she your wife?
-Nahi...
Everyone heard a loud sound & turned towards it. They saw a lady dressed beautifully in a tomato red colour floor length Anarkali with a heavy matching Dupatta.
Light breeze was making her soft tresses blow softly. She took slow measured steps eyes locked with Asad's & sweet smile on their faces walked straight towards where Asad was standing. Effortlessly ignoring Tanveer who was seething in anger. Pushing her out of her way she comes to stand with Asad.
-Maaf kijiyega but Mr Khan ki biwi main hun Zoya, oops Mrs Zoya Asad Ahmed Khan or you can call me Zoya, Mrs. Khan whatever you like. She came & linked her arms with Asad answering cheerfully to the lady.
-Oh I m so sorry Mrs Khan. It was really nice meeting you. I m Mrs Bhalla.
-Same here Mrs Bhalla. Eid Mubarik
-Same to you Dear. And Mr Khan aapki wife toh boht hi Khubsurat hai. Aapko chand dekhne ki kya phikar aapke paas toh aapka Khud ka Chaand hai. She started laughing & others too joined her while Asad smiled & Zoya blushed. You both make a wonderful pair. Rabb kare Aapki jodi hameha yun hi bani rahe.
-Thank Mrs Bhalla. Both Asad & Zoya said at the same time & Zoya hugged her as well wishing Eid once again.
Zoya excused herself seeing Dilshaad at a distance & literally ran to meet her. Seeing Zoya Dilshaad & Najma's happiness new no bounds. Both of them showered their love at her & tight hugs & kisses were complimentary. Zoya felt really overwhelmed with all the love. This was what she always carved for & it was this family only who showered it in abundance on her.
*******************
Asad was watching her from a distance for a long time when he was mingling with people. Her radiant smile, those animated expressions & her cute pout filled his heart with content. His Ammi & Najma were also delighted to have her. He never saw them as happy as they were with her. He wished this happiness to stay forever in his home & he knew only Zoya can bring it by coming back. His Allah has given him 1 more chance & this time he was not going to lose it at any cost.
He saw his Ammi going to meet some lady & made his way towards Zoya who was standing with Najma. Reaching close he cleared his throat to gain their attention.
-Tamatar you go i need to talk to Zoya. Yes after a little bit of effort & constant reminders by Zoya he started calling Zoya by her 1st name.
-No need Najma mujhe kisi se koi baat nahi karni. Zoya said to Najma refusing to even look at Asad.
-Zoya plz i need to speak something important. he urged.
-This is not office Mr Khan neither i m your employee. Therefore mujhepe koi bandish nahi hai kisi se bhi baat karne ki. Haina Najma.
She again said to Najma who was looking back & forth between the two lover's silly argument.
-Zoya mujhe aapse hum...Kuch personal baat karni hai. Aap plz...
Cutting him Zoya continued
-Najma...
-Enough. Asad said losing patience & hold Zoya's hand tightly. Najma see those Seekh kabaab's looks delicious go & try them & if u could control urself then save some for us also while me & ur Bhabhi finish with our talk. Saying so Asad started moving taking Zoya with him towards the terrace to have a peaceful place to talk.
He missed to see Najma who was sweetly scolding her Bhaijaan for pulling her leg but when her eyes landed on the Kabaab counter her mouth watered & she ran towards it forgetting her anger.
*******************
Zoya who was constantly blabbering for Asad to leave her hand & punching him also with the tiny fists of her free hand snatched her hand out of his hold as soon as they reached the terrace.
-Allah Miyan what's wrong with you Mr Khan. ouch! my hand. Aap Insaan hain ke stone man. Itna zor se koi pakadta hai bhala. She cried.
-I m sorry Zoya. Wait let me see. Asad said concerned & comes closer trying to reach for her hand.
-No need Mr Khan. Jab apne solid haathon main haath liya tha tab sochna tha. Zoya said trying to hide her hand which was actually not that hurt she was just overacting to tease him.
-I said I m sorry! Asad said looking guilty.
-It's Ok mujhe nahi chahiye aapka sorry thanku na kuch aur.. She said continuing her victim act giving stress on the word Kuch aur.
She turned & pretended to walk away when Asad held her hand again.
-Par mujhe chahiye. Aur jab tak meri baat puri nahi ho jati main aapko kahin nahi jane dunga.
Zoya remained silent & Asad assumed it his cue to continue.
-Aapko kaise pta chla is party ke baare main?
-Kyun ab aapko isse bhi problem hai Mr Khan? Zoya turned outraged with his question.
-I didn't mean that Zoya. Why you always misunderstand everything i say?
-Than why don't you say clearly what you mean? Jo baat dil main hai aap Jubaan pe kyun nahi late.
Both stared in each others eyes searching for answer to their unspoken questions? After few minutes they averted their eyes.
-Uff main bhi kis se expect kar rahi hun. Zoya huffed & whispered to herself.
-I know kal ki baat pe aap gussa hain & I m really sorry for that. But aapko hurt karne ka mera koi intension nahi tha woh main bas..
-I know aap karte kuch hain aur kehte kuch aor Zoya said not letting him finish.
-Allah Miyan what's wrong with you both. Najma cried who was hiding behind a wall.
She came out along with Dilshaad who hit her head lightly for getting both of them caught.
-Ammi! Tamatar! Zoya whispered.
-Jee han hum! Najma boastfully said.
-Ammi aap yahan? Asad asked feeling embarrassed to be caught like this.
- Ab kya karen Asad itne dino se toh koshish kar rahe hain hum ki kab tum Zoya ko apni feelings btao taaki hum meri Bahu ki rukhsati karwake usse ghar le aayen lekin tum ho ki bas pucho mat. Aree Even a tortoise will be faster than you.
Both girls giggled heartily at Dilshaad's comment.
-Aur nahi toh kya bhaijaan bjaye iske ki main topic ki baat ki jaye aap dono toh sorry it's ok pe hi atke hain. Ya Allah Ammi mujhe toh sach main chakar aa rahe hain inke repeated dialogues sun sun ke. Waise Ammi ek idea hain kyun na hum ek kaam karen? Bhaijaan aur Zoya ko 1 handcuff main baandh dete hain aur 1 kamre main band kar dete hain phir jab tak yeh patch up nahi kar lete koi inhe bahar nahi nikalega.
-Bilkul sahi kaha Najma, sach main tum dono na boht hi slow ho. Koi kahega ki tum dono ka Nikah ho chukka hai aur yahan dono se abhi tak apne dil ki baat hi share nahi ho rahi. Kya karun main tum dono ka.
-Par Ammi..Zoya tried to explain.
-Bas ab mujhe kuch nahi sunna. Boht seh liya hamne tum dono ki wajah se Mujhe meri Bahu ghar main wapas chahiye. Usse kaise lana hai yeh tumhari problem hai Asad. Get it? Dilshaad warned Asad pointing a finger at him.
Asad nodded meekly.
-Ek baat aur Asad, agar tum Zoya ko nahi mna paye toh aaj khud bhi ghar aane ki koi zaroorat nahi. She gave the final ultimatum.
-Par Ammi..Asad started shocked with her threat, only to be ignored.
-Chalo Najma. Dilshaad turned asking Najma to follow.
-Best of Luck Bhaijaan. Najma showed thumbs up smiling encouragingly & left with Dilshaad.
Asad & Zoya was shocked & embarrassed after Dilsaad & Najma's surprise gate crashing their conversation. Both looked everywhere expect each other thinking what to do now. After few minutes pep talk Asad decided to break the silence as it was now or never.
-I m really happy ki aap aaj yahan aayi. Ammi aur Najma boht khush hain infact aaj kitne din baad maine unhein itna khush dekha hai. Asad began hesitantly.
-And you? Aap khush nahi hain mujhe dekh kar? Zoya asked innocently.. Han honge bhi kaise Aapko toh hamesha meri presence khatakti hai. she said sadly, face sobered looking at the ground.
-Aapko aisa lagta hai? Asad questioned shocked.
Zoya nodded still looking the other way.
-Bilkul galat lagta hai aapko. Aapke mere life main kya value hai yeh main aapko samjha hi nahi sakta. He truthfully told.
-Liar, you r an absolute liar Mr Khan. Finally looking at his face she said. Agar aapko meri parvah hoti toh aap mujhe us din jaane hi nahi dete. But you! you didn't do that why? because you never wanted to marry me. Aapko toh main bilkul bhi pasand nahi thi. Meri dressing sense, meri soch, mera independent nature nothing. Aapne toh yahan tak keh diya ki I m a misfit. Her vision was blurring with the tears.
- And I was wrong. I was wrong all the time Zoya. Sach toh yeh hai that I had fallen for you the moment I saw u in Dargaah. Asad finally let it out getting teary eyed himself.
Zoya sucked in a breath she didn't knew she was holding. In her emotions she said all her complaints to Asad. She always wished to hear his heart out but she never knew the day it will happen she won't be able to withstand the sweet pleasure of it.
Asad continued his confession not being able to keep his emotions at heart anymore. He doesn't wish Zoya to blame herself anymore. The word misfit effected her a lot & now he wanted to come clean to her that What he feels for her.
-Han Zoya yahi sach hai. Jo story maine us din Mr Bhatavdekar ko sunayi thi woh sach thi. Sab sach tha. Woh airport engagement, woh sari rasmein, Humara Nikah sab sab sach tha...hai. Kyunki main aapse Beintehaan Mohabat karta hun tabse jabse pehli baar aapko dekha tha. He revealed emotionally...Tab bhi jab KV main pehli raat aap galti se mere bed pe so gayin thi, Jab aapko Akram se bachaya tha, Jab Mangalpur main aapko almost kho diya tha. he shuddered remembering that...Woh har ek baar jab aapne meri Ammi ke chere pe muskaan bekeri thi tab bhi jab Najma ko bchane ke liye aap khud jail chali gayi thi, Jab aapne mujhe samjha tha jab meri Ammi tak mujhse naraaz thin aur tab bhi jab aapne apne silly Shayri se us makaan ko Khushiyon se bharkar apna bna liya tha.
-My Shayri is not silly Mr Khan. Zoya intruded with pout.
-What..Zoya from all the things i said you chose to comment on that only. He asked in disbelief.
-So what do you want me to do dance like I won the world cup. Agar aap sach main mujhse pyaar karte hain toh mujhe kyun nahi roka aapne? kyun kaha jane ke liye? Zoya complained folding her hands & looking aside with a pout.
-Maine aapko ghar chodne ke liye nahi kaha tha Zoya i just wanted you to decide on ur own. I know Zoya how it hurts when you can't make your own choices. I know how u suffer many times when your choices are made by others & i didn't wanted you to suffer. You had your share of sufferings Zoya & I didn't wanted you to go through that again. That's why i just gave you choice to decide for yourself but what did you do? You also went away with your father not thinking twice of your actions & you call me EC.
By the end of his speech tears were flowing from both their cheeks. Zoya stepped forward eliminating any distance between them & clutched his Kurta in her hands.
-I m sorry Mr Khan. I m so sorry. I thought you don't want to stay with me after knowing i m related to him. I thought you hate me now. She cried clutching his Kurta in her hold.
-I can't hate you Zoya. I never can. My love is not that weak. Asad assured her holding her face delicately in the palm of his right hand while the other was wrapping her waist.
-I know & I m sorry.
-Bas ab bas. Najma sahi hi keh rahi thi kab se hum bas sorry it's ok pe hi atke hain. Now I want to hear what i waited for so long now. So will you plz say those three magical words.
-Par aap hi ne toh kaha you don't want to hear I m sorry. Zoya teased.
Asad gave him a NOT-SO-FUNNY-LOOK.
-Allah Miyan Mr Khan look at your face. Zoya teased trying to control her laughter but failing.
-Really I look funny to you. I'll go & find someone who will find me romantic enough. Waise bhi there are many beautiful girls out there tonight. Asad said to tease her back & removed his hands from her waist trying to free her.
Zoya took his hands which he was removing & encircled them back around her waist & again clutched his Kurta this time more tightly making their faces come really close & said angrily..
-Acha Aap jake toh dikhayiye mujhse door phir dikheye zra. Aur kiski itni Himat ki meri Shouhar ki taraf aank utha ke dekhe ankhen na nikal lun main uski. Zoya said angrily.
-Acha par aap aisa kyun karengi? If you don't love me than why will you do that han...Asad acted all confused & curious.
-Kyunki haq hai mera. Biwi hun main aapki. Aur aapse boht boht boht Mohabbat karti hun. Zoya said it with so much of sincerity & intensity that all amusement left Asad's features. Their eyes were locked with passion making it spread throughout their bodies. I love you Mr Khan...I Love you. She said again looking directly in his eyes.
-I feel blessed Zoya. I love you too.
After their intense declaration of love Asad pulled Zoya in for a passionate hug making their hearts rejoice in their ribcage beating in perfect sync with each other.
Sound of the firecrackers made them come out of there embrace. Both of them looked at the sky which was shining brightly with many colours spitting after the rockets burst in the sky. Both smiled looking at it & than faced each other smiling lovingly.
-Eid Mubarik
-Eid Mubarik Jaan
Asad kissed her forehead & took her in his embrace once again while both of them looked at the sky once again enjoying the fireworks.
