Ishq Toh Hona Hi Tha!!! AsYa FF #4 - **Updated Last Chapter** - Page 12

At Khan Mansion, Saima was wandering out of Asad's room and spotted Zoya going inside the room.

"Hi Zoya!!" Saima came in front of Zoya with a smile, while Zoya too smiled back at her.

"Hi Saima...how are you today??"

"Doing awesome!! What are you doing Zoya?"

"Just planning to apply some pack on my face...it looks too tired."

"Okay, carry on!!" Saima said with a smile, while Zoya walked inside her room.

Saima smiled in an evil manner and looked into the room and then walked out.

Aysha was sitting in the swing at her room with the door open, with a book in her hand, but completely with Shehzad's thoughts. His words were disturbing her a lot.

Just then she saw Shehzad walking out of his room and going towards the main door, with a worried look. Aysha stood up straight and looked at him. As she was about to go out, she saw Saima in front of him.

"Darling, where are you going??" Saima asked with a wide smile, while Shehzad simply gave her a stare and looked away.

"You seem to be so stressed...what happened jaan?? Shall I get you some medicines??" Saima asked moving her hand over his hair, while Shehzad pushed her hand away, and saw Aysha standing away and looking at them both. Aysha who was standing far could not make out what they both were talking.

"Your beloved Zoya has gone to see her beautiful face one last time you know??" Saima said with a smile, while Shehzad gave a confused look at her.

"What do you mean??"

"I mean...she has gone to apply some face pack. I just mixed some...you know that thing from chemistry lab...which fumes...and when it falls on your skin it burns...you know..." Saima pretended to think, while Shehzad opened his eyes wide listening to it and looked at Asad's room.

"I am waiting eagerly to see that beautiful face of hers after applying the pack..." Saima said, while Shehzad clutched her neck tight, while she just smiled and said through it, "Try to save her if you can...I am always here only!!"

Shehzad pushed her back and ran towards Asad's room, while Saima looked at it with her hands folded and said in a low tone, "Saima Siddique is far more talented than you think of, Shehzad!!"

Shehzad barged into the washroom, where the door was just slam shut and saw Zoya bring the brush to her face. Shehzad pushed the brush away and threw away the bowl too into the bathtub. The door again shut back due to the closure.

Zoya was perplexed looking at everything and looked back at Shehzad with a tensed face.

"Bhaijaan, what happened??" Zoya asked while Shehzad looked at her in tears and went to her and placed his hand on her cheek gently.

Zoya still didn't understand why Shehzad was reacting that way.

"What the hell is happening here????"

Shehzad looked back hearing that and looked at Saima standing with a horrified look. Zoya and Shehzad looked at each other and looked at Saima who was standing there with a tearful face.

"Ammi!!!! Mumaani!! Maamujaan!!!"

Saima screamed out to all, while Shehzad and Zoya didn't understand anything. Razia, Dilshaad and Rashid barged into Asad's room, along with Ayaan, Najma and Imraan who came there hearing Saima's cry.

"What happened beta?? Why did you shout??" Razia asked, while Saima pointed inside the washroom in tears.

Razia and Dilshaad looked at Shehzad and Zoya and were equally confused.

"Ammi, Shehzad and Zoya were inside the washroom with door closed, and when I saw inside he was caressing Zoya!!!"

Zoya and Shehzad opened their eyes wide hearing that, while everyone had an equal amount of shock listening to Saima.

Aysha came running inside the room, and saw that the whole family was gathered inside Asad's room.

"No!! It's not like that...please don't believe her!!" Shehzad said, while Razia asked him, "By the way, what were you doing with Zoya in Asad's washroom??"

"I...actually..." Shehzad struggled for words and before he could reveal, Saima interrupted, "I was going out and thought of purchasing a deodorant and I couldn't see Shehzad the whole day. So I thought of going alone taking the one from Zoya's room as a sample. If I hadn't come that way, who knows what else would have happened inside!!"

Aysha was stunned to hear that cooked up story from her sister, and recalled Shehzad's words:

"You believe or not...this is your sister's reality!! She is a serpent covered in a cow's skin"

"...she is a skilled player too; just imagine while she could use your Ammi to play for her, and escape from the blame when she was caught, she can do anything!!"

"Saima, what all are you saying??" Ayaan asked coming to her, "Have you lost your bloody mind?? Bhaabhi and Shehzad?? Really?? Are you drunk or something??"

Saima looked at him with an angry look, "Then what do you have to say about what you saw just now?? Am I hallucinating?? You all can see what I can see too right??"

"But that doesn't mean you tell they both were inside with some wrong intention, right? Are you stupid??" Ayaan asked with an angry look, while Imraan pulled him back.

"Imraan, your sister has gone nuts I feel...what is she blabbering??"

"Yeah yeah...I have gone nuts!!! Ayaan, you might be devoted to your Bhaabhijaan a lot, but that doesn't mean you support such nonsense too!! I mean why can't my assumption be right?? Zoya is pregnant now and Asad might not be close to her like before too...anyone can slip off their morality in such situations you know...after all Shehzad is a young guy too!!"

Zoya closed her eyes listening to that in shame and tears burst out from her eyes, while Shehzad trembled in anger hearing it, and he was unable to tell about his relation with Zoya too because of that worst situation and his promise to Shireen. Dilshaad and Rashid too were stunned to hear such ill words from Saima.

"Saima, I won't think that you are my cousin!! One tight slap and you will get a permanent sprain, mind it!!! Hold your tongue and speak dammit!!" Ayaan said pouncing towards her, while Rashid and Najma stopped him.

Zoya slanted along the washroom wall, looking at all the commotion and stood with head down, tears flowing down, while Shehzad was hurt looking at Zoya that way, and came out of the washroom inside the room.

"Ayaan, you calm down!!" Rashid said moving back Ayaan, while he looked at Saima, "Beta, we all did see what you saw, but you are jumping into bizarre conclusions. Why are you speaking so cheap about Zoya?? What do you know about her, haan?? And let Shehzad too tell why was he inside with Zoya, and moreover how do you think they will share some other type of...they both share a bond of siblings!!"

"Haan Saima" Dilshaad said, "You are hyper reacting I feel. Think with a calm mind, you will feel it's all absurd. Think before spilling words, Saima!!"

"She needs a psychiatrist, Ammi!!" Ayaan said shrugging his hand off Najma's hold, "Razia Mumaani, get your daughter some sort of shock treatment. She has gone mad!!"

Saima stared at Ayaan hearing it, while Ayaan stared at her back, "What are you looking at?? If Asad Bhaijaan had heard what you just said yeah, you would have been buried in our backyard by now!!"

"Fine!!! Okay!!!" Saima said coming in the front, "Ask Shehzad what he was doing inside in that case. If it's a genuine reason, I will publicly apologize!!"

Shehzad looked at Saima hearing it, while Saima raised her eyebrow at him and a slight smile escaped her lips. Aysha was looking at Shehzad, expecting his reply.

Meanwhile Asad came home from office, and saw that the house was empty. He saw the cook coming out of the kitchen.

"Sarla Bi, where is everyone?? Why is home so empty??" Asad asked placing his laptop bag at the sofa.

"Asad beta...all are in your room!!" she said with hesitation.

"All are in my room??"

"Come on Shehzad!! Tell your part, we are not suspecting you. Speak out beta!!" Rashid said, while Shehzad said, "Actually...Saima...Saima said me that...she mixed something in Zoya's face pack to harm her...and so I came to...save her!!"

Zoya came out of the washroom hearing that, as she recalled Shehzad pushing away her brush and throwing away the bowl too. Saima burst out laughing, while everyone looked at her.

"Mamujaan, you heard that?? I mixed something in Zoya's face pack, and I myself met Shehzad and said him too that, "Darling, I mixed something to harm Zoya...you please save Zoya" and he came to save her it seems...such an illogical story!!! I myself will apply that facepack and show you now...!!"

Saima walked in and took the bowl and took the pack with her bare hands while Shehzad was shocked, and so were others confused. Saima gave a secret smile at Shehzad.

"If you laugh out, truth is not going to be a lie, Saima!! What you said was true!!" Shehzad said with an angry look and said everyone, "Trust me, she is acting!!! She has a huge grudge on Zoya...she is looking for an opportunity to harm her and since I am trying to save her, she is concocting stories and..."

"Just shut up Shehzad!!!" Razia came to him with an angry look, "You got caught and for defending yourself, you are portraying my daughter as a bad one??"

"Aunty, I am sorry to say this, but this is the truth!!" Shehzad said and came to Rashid and Ayaan, "Please believe me!! She is obsessed with Asad and in order to live with him, she isn't leaving a single stone unturned to harm Zoya!! Somebody believe me, please!!!"

Zoya looked at Saima hearing that, while Rashid and Ayaan looked at each other hearing that, and Ayaan looked at Saima too with a suspicious look. Saima was getting tensed looking at Rashid and Ayaan thinking over Shehzad's words.

"Asad!!!!"

Everyone turned at the door, while Saima ran towards Asad, who was standing at the door with a burning look. Zoya smiled looking at Asad amidst her tears.

"Asad, see what all is happing behind both of us!! Today morning I said you right, now do you believe it??"

Asad looked at Saima, and then walked towards Shehzad, while Shehzad was giving a helpless look.

Zoya came forward to Asad, when Asad asked in a stern tone, "What the hell were you doing in my washroom with my wife?? What were you both doing behind my back, haan??"

Zoya moved two steps backward in shock, hearing such a question from Asad's mouth.

Everyone was dumbstruck looking at Asad's unexpected reaction, except Saima who wiped her tears and watched the show.

"Asad, trust me...I came here to save her only...I was out only..." Just then his eyes fell on Aysha. He wiped his face and held Aysha's hand and brought her to him, "Even Aysha saw me...ask her...Aysha, you saw me out right. I came here after Saima met me only right?? Please tell everyone Aysha!! Please!! It's a matter of life for me, please!!" Shehzad asked with a pleading look, while Asad looked at Aysha and she was quiet for a while.

Saima was tensed and was awaiting Aysha's reply, while she shook her head in denial and looked at Asad, "No Bhaijaan. I didn't see him!! He might have been here only."

Shehzad was stunned hearing Aysha's reply, and looked at her with a shattered look, while Aysha just looked down. Zoya was completely unaware of all those happenings, while her eyes were still stuck on Asad, as she was trying to digest the fact that Asad suspected her.

Asad shouted in anger at him, "Get out of my house right now!!!"

Shehzad was broken to hear that, while Saima was glad that finally her plan worked out.

Asad held Shehzad by his collar and dragged him out, while the whole Khan family tried to stop Asad as they went behind him.

Asad pushed him at the entrance of the home, and Shehzad was in tears, having lost hopes completely. Asad came back with Shehzad's bags and threw it at his feet.

"Get out and..." Asad said while Zoya interrupted, "Just a minute Asad!!!!"

Asad turned behind at Zoya, who walked towards him with a serious look. Saima too looked at her.

"So, you have decided that...I and Shehzad Bhaijaan were up to some dirty tricks behind your back, right??"

Asad folded his hands and looked at her, "I am neither blind nor deaf!! I saw and heard whatever I shouldn't have and what else do you expect me to??"

"Are you the same Asad Ahmed Khan with whom I had fallen in love with??" Zoya asked with a hurt look, while Asad just gave a least bothered look and Zoya added, "I feel ashamed that I have married and spent some moments with such a man, and have shared some..!!"

Zoya said placing her hand on her tummy with tears, while Dilshaad and Rashid were hurt to hear that, and were unable to understand what had happened to Asad all of a sudden.

"Bhaijaan, what's wrong with you??" Ayaan asked coming near Asad, "Is this the extent of love and trust you have for Bhaabhi?? And you think Shehzad would do such a dirty act with her, that too when all are at home??" Ayaan pointed at Saima and said, "You believe this fool, but not Bhaabhi??"

Saima stared at Ayaan hearing that while Aysha just looked at Saima.

"Listen, you don't interfere in all this!! I know what I am doing, and you stay aside!" Asad said, and Ayaan was stunned to hear that. Asad turned at Zoya, "What's your problem now??"

"Asad, I can't bear Shehzad Bhaijaan being kicked out with such a bad blame related with me...that too from you, I never suspected this!!" Zoya said in anger, while in tears too, and Shehzad looked at that emotionally.

"This is my decision!!! You are my wife and abide by it!!" Asad said in anger, while Zoya moved closer to him.

"I can't abide by every decision of yours. This is wrong and I will object to this!!" Zoya said with glaring eyes.

"So, Shehzad entering our washroom with you in my absence is right??"

"He has his reasons for that and he said that, Asad!!"

"And you expect me to believe that??"

"When you believe your relative's words as such, I too will believe my brother's words, and you are no one to question on that!!"

Shehzad was moved looking at his sister fight for him, against her husband.

"I am no one, really?? So he means a lot to you than me?? Do you remember whom you are talking to, Zoya??"

"Of course I do, Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan!! I am talking to that husband who has lost all his good values and dignity years back!!"

The entire Khan Mansion was in a standstill viewing this rare scene between Asad and Zoya.

"Alright!! If you care for him more than me, then you also leave with him!!!" Asad said in a blasting tone, while Zoya was stunned hearing that.

The entire Khan mansion was startled to hear those words from Asad and Shehzad too was shocked to hear that. Saima slanted along the pillar and watched the scene with a smile, as she had got two mangoes with a single stone.

Zoya had tears in her eyes, and she ran inside her room, while Dilshaad came to Asad.

"Asad, what are you doing?? What happened to you?? You are asking the daughter-in-law of our house to get out?? What's wrong with you?? Why are you acting hasty??"

"Bhaijaan, please stop all this!!" Najma said with a sad look, "Shehzad Bhaijaan and Zoya Bhaabhi are really good...please don't send them out Bhaijaan, please!"

Asad just stood with head down and folded hands.

Zoya came out with a wheel bag, while Ayaan and Imraan ran to her.

"Bhaabhi, please don't go!! We shall sort this out patiently, please Bhaabhi!!"

Zoya just brushed off their pleas and walked forward while Asad looked at that. Dilshaad looked at Asad and then ran towards Zoya, and Rashid too followed her. Aysha was disturbed looking at everything and looked at Asad who was all silent.

Dilshaad stopped Zoya and said her, "Zoya, you are the child of this house beta. I won't let you go anywhere. Ammi will sort this out beta, please don't leave this house...that too in such a delicate state, beta!!"

Zoya held her hands and said in tears, "I am sorry Ammi!! When your son himself is standing there without budging a bit and watching me walk off, I don't see any reason to stay back here. I am sorry, Abbu!!" Zoya said to Rashid too and walked past Asad, while she stopped at his side and said without looking at him.

"I will not step in this house, till you come and apologize to me and Shehzad Bhaijaan, and you will only bring me back in this house, holding my hand. This is Zoya's promise!!!"

Asad walked towards his room and shut the door hard, while Zoya walked towards Shehzad who was at the door. Everyone were completely hurt looking at what all was happening

"Zoya, you are taking a hasty step! Please don't ruin your life for me!!" Shehzad said, while Zoya said with a smile, "No Bhaijaan, you must never be in a place where people don't trust you and respect you. The irony is Asad was the one who taught me how to trust people, and he himself has broken it today. Come Bhaijaan, we will leave!!"

Zoya held Shehzad's hand and walked off Khan Mansion, while Shehzad turned and looked at Saima and gritted his teeth watching her wave her hand with a smile. He also saw Aysha who was looking at the door with tears. He walked off with a shattered look.

Everyone walked off with a devastated look, and Ayaan walked to his room, walking past Saima and glaring at her and slammed his door hard.

"Well done Saima Siddiqui!!! What a play!! I am in love with you Saima!!" Saima said and laughed her heart out and looked at Asad's door and said, "Just some more days Asad...and I will be with you!!"

"What nonsense is all this??" Humeira fumed getting up from her chair. Zoya was sitting in the sofa with her face slanted behind and eyes closed, while Shehzad was sitting at the verandah outside, and Tanveer was sitting quietly over there.

"How could Jeeju act like this?? This is just intolerable!!" Humeira said walking to and fro at the living room.

"Thank God Ammi is out of town. If she was here, Allah knows what would have happened to her hearing all this. And Baaji, why did you come out of the house?? You should have kicked that Saima out right??"

"What's the point??" Zoya asked looking at her, "When Asad trusts Saima more than me, what's the point in kicking Saima out?"

Tanveer was just silent and looked at the door, while Humiera came to her, "Tannu Baaji, we have to do something. Come, let's go and talk to Jeeju right now, come!!"

Tanveer stood up hearing that, "Humi, relax!! Listen first get Zoya something to eat. She must not stay in hunger in this state. Go and serve her dinner, go!"

"I don't want dinner or anything" Zoya said with an irritated look, while Tanveer walked to her, "Zoya, don't be adamant. If not for you, you must eat for your child at least, please!!"

Zoya looked at Tanveer and reluctantly got up and walked to the dining hall with Humeira, while Tanveer came to Shehzad.

"Shehzu, you know what..." Tanveer started while, Shehzad got up, "I am leaving Tannu!!"

"Leaving?? Where??"

"Back to Delhi!! I don't find any more purpose in me staying here, after all this insult. I will leave Tannu, sorry that I couldn't fulfill your task!!"

Shehzad took his bag and walked out, while Tanveer ran back of him, "Shehzu, just listen to me what I have to say. You don't know..."

"Please Tannu!!" Shehzad said stopping Tanveer and added, "Inform Zoya that I left...I don't have the courage to tell on her face that I am leaving. Inform Mehwish too. Khuda Hafiz!!"

Saying so, Shehzad walked off, while Tanveer placed her hand on her forehead, "Ya Allah!! No one wants to listen anything patiently these days!!"

Tanveer quickly took her phone and waited as it was ringing.

"Hello!! Shehzad is leaving to Mumbai!! Stop him, please!!"

Shehzad was sitting in the bench at the railway station in thoughts; completely about his moments with Zoya and Aysha.

"I am sorry gudiya!! After finding you after so long too, I am unable to spend the rest of my life with you" Shehzad said in tears looking at the photo in his mobile, which he had clicked with Zoya on her birthday, "When you have faced a huge problem in your life because of me, I must not stay any longer here and add to your problems. I hope God helps you out from all dangers!"

The train reached the platform and as people entered the train, Shehzad too took his bag and as he was about to enter the train,

"Shehzad!!!"

Shehzad turned to the source of that call, and saw Aysha running towards him. She stopped in front of him, panting for breath.

"Why have you come now?? What else do you want to do now??" Shehzad asked to Aysha in an angry tone, as she just looked at him, "You contributed a lot to me to be in this situation here. There is still something left to say??"

"Even you are jumping into conclusions too fast without enquiring, Shehzad! Yes, there is still something left to say. But I don't want to...it's someone else!!" Aysha said with a light smile, as she looked behind and Shehzad too looked behind Aysha and was surprised to find Asad standing there with folded hands.

Shehzad, without understanding anything looked at Aysha, and Asad walked towards them and stood near Aysha.

"You are leaving?? If you are leaving like this mid-way, who will witness Saima moving from your sister's life??"

Shehzad dropped his bag in shock, listening to Asad and he didn't even understand what he was hearing was true, and looked at both Asad and Aysha in surprise.

The train started moving while Asad and Aysha exchanged smiles at each other. Shehzad looked at the train and then again at Asad and Aysha.

"I didn't...get you...!!" Shehzad said with a confused look.

"I have come for that only right?? Come...we will discuss on the way back home!!" Asad said and took Shehzad with him with his hand over Shehzad's shoulder, and Aysha too followed them with a smile.

Zoya was sitting on the bed and recalling that day's horrific incident and how Asad didn't stand by her side.

"How can Asad not trust me?? And how could he even think in his weirdest dreams that I would...I would cheat on him..." Zoya threw the pillow on the floor from the bed, while she heard the door knock.

"Yes??"

"Zoya, have some milk please!!" Tanveer said on the other side of the door.

"I don't want...just leave me alone Tannu!!" Zoya said pressing her forehead.

"Zoya, please!!"

"Tannu, I said leave me alone!! Stop bothering me!!!"

The door was continuously being knocked, and Zoya got off the bed in frustration and opened the door in anger.

"Can't you understand if I tell..."

Zoya stopped her sentence, looking at Asad on the other side of the door. Zoya clutched the door with both her hands and stared at Asad, while she looked back at Tanveer and Humeira and stared at them too.

Zoya tried to close the door again, when Asad caught her hands and moved inside, while he locked the door.

"What are you doing here, haan?? What else do you want to do to hurt me??" Zoya asked, while Asad turned at her and slanted by the door with folded hands.

"Asad, I don't want to talk to you or see your face, just leave my room!! Go!!"

Asad just smiled and moved forward towards the sofa, while Zoya looked at him with glaring eyes.

"Fine, if you can't leave, I shall leave this room!!"

Zoya attempted to open the door, while Asad lifted her up and seated her in the bed.

"What the..." Asad closed Zoya's mouth, while she looked at him blinking her red-shot eyes.

"Will you let me speak, honey??" Asad asked, while Zoya just looked at him.

"Sweetheart, do you know how much it hurt me than you, speaking that way to you and kick you out of my house?? You really think I was enjoying??"

Saying so, Asad moved his hand from Zoya's mouth, while Zoya listened to it in confusion. Asad cupped her face and said, "Zoya, you are my soul darling!! Will anyone suspect their own soul, and will Asad suspect his Zoya at any point of his life?? If I do that, I won't live the next moment, Zoya!! Don't you know me?? This is the extent you have understood me, haan??"

Zoya took Asad's hands in hers and asked in tears, "Then why did you do all that?? When Saima had put such a dirty accusation on me, and I was standing helpless in front of the family, you should have stood by my side yeah??"

Asad caressed her cheeks listening to it, while Zoya said crying, "You know I felt my heart had started beating again when I saw you...but you literally stopped my heart beats totally!! Why Asad?? Why did you do that?? You even asked me to leave the house...why...??"

Asad hugged Zoya, while she clutched his shirt and broke down into tears.

"I would have endured anyone suspecting me...but when you too...I felt like ending up my life..."

Asad lifted Zoya's face from his chest, and wiped her tears, "No!! Don't say that ever Zoya!! I had to do all this for you only...in fact all this drama!!"

"Drama??"

"Yeah...but it happened to be an unplanned one unexpectedly!!"

"What are you saying Asad?? I don't understand anything!!"

"I will tell you...come out!!"

Asad was sitting at the sofa, while everyone was seated around him.

"I had already expected today's events at home, but not today actually." Asad said, while Zoya and Shehzad were surprised hearing it.

"Saima had come to my office today morning...a purposeful visit for her!!" Asad said and narrated Saima's conversation, hearing which Zoya and Shehzad fumed.

"How dare she tell all this to you, Asad??" Zoya asked in anger, while Humeira added, "And that too such a dirty accusation on her fianc itself??"

"No Humeira...before you come to that point, there's a prologue to this scene. Exactly 1 and a half hours before Saima visited me, another person had come to meet me..." Asad looked up and said, "Aysha!!"

Scene shifted back to AAN Interior Designs:

"Bhaijaan, there's something really important I need to tell you...and I need your complete patience and calmness for that" Aysha said while Asad smiled, "Whoa...Aysha is all serious today?? Fine...what is it all about??"

"It's about...Saima Baaji!!"

"Saima??

"Yes Bhaijaan...I know it would be slightly difficult for you to believe what all I say...but whatever I am gonna say is 100% true!!"

Asad was confused hearing everything, while Aysha said, "Bhaijaan, your marriage life with Zoya Bhaabhi is in danger because of Saima Baaji!!"

Asad opened his eyes wide hearing that asked in horror, "What????"

"Yes Bhaijaan...there are so many things which are unaware to you...and which you must know by now!!"

Aysha narrated all the incidents as said by Shehzad, and Asad stood up in anger and slammed the table hard startling Aysha.

"Saima!!! How dare she try to harm my Zoya and roam with such a dirty mind!!! Wait...I will show her how will Asad react if anyone dares to harm his wife!!"

Asad moved towards the door, while Aysha stopped him.

"Bhaijaan please!! Please calm down and control yourself!!"

"Calm down?? How do you expect me to Aysha??" Asad asked fuming in anger, "All these days I was letting a serpent roam around my Zoya and what if Shehzad, Tannu and Mehwish weren't...wait!!"

Asad walked back to his table and dialed his intercom, "Tannu, come to my cabin with Mehwish. Right now!!"

Asad closed his face and vented out his pressure, while Aysha turned at the door hearing it open.

"Excuse me Sir??"

Asad looked at the door and said with a serious look, "Come in!!"

Tanveer and Mehwish walked inside, and were puzzled looking at Asad angry too. They saw Aysha too standing over there and Tanveer smiled at her, "Assalam-u-alaikkum Aysha!!"

"Waalaikkum-asalam Tannu Baaji!!"

"Sir, any problem?" Mehwish asked while Asad looked at both Mehwish and Tannu seriously and asked, "Who am I to Zoya, Tannu??"

Tanveer and Mehwish looked at each other with a perplexed look hearing Asad's question.

"Sir??" Tanveer asked, while Asad asked in a louder tone, "Can't you hear me?? I asked who am I to Zoya??"

"Sir...husband!!" Tanveer said in a low and frightened tone, while Aysha looked on.

"Do I love her??"

"Sir, what happened..." Mehwish asked while Asad signaled her to stop and said, "I need just the answer!! Tell me, do I love her??"

"Yes Sir, you love her a lot!!"Mehwish replied.

"Which means...I will be affected highly if something happens to her, right??"

"Yes...Sir..." Tanveer answered, while Asad stood up and blasted, "Then for what fun were you guys hiding about Saima's reality from me these many days...haan???"

Tanveer and Mehwish were shocked to hear that and looked at each other shockingly.

"Answer me!!! Why didn't you guys tell me all this??"

"Sir...we..." Tanveer said in a frightened voice, "Saima is your relative...and we...we thought...you might not...believe us being outsiders...and..."

"Nonsense!!!" Asad shouted and came to them, "Tannu, I know how much Zoya means to you...and even you know how much I love Zoya...and you think I will turn a deaf ear to all this??"

Tanveer was quiet, while Asad looked at Mehwish, "Maybe it would have been somewhat difficult for me to believe it at once...but I would definitely not have ignored it...I would have watched her keenly and made Zoya much safer...wouldn't I??"

Mehwish nodded her head and looked down, while Asad walked back to his table and said, "Thanks to Allah, Aysha came and said all this to me today...or else Allah knows what all would have happened hereafter!!"

Tanveer looked at Aysha hearing that and asked her, "Aysha...how did you know all this??"

"Shehzad said me everything!!"Aysha said, while Tanveer and Mehwish looked at each other.

"Shehzad...you both...everyone had been struggling to save my wife...and I was sitting like an idiot all this while unaware of the danger against Zoya!!" Asad slammed the table hard, while Tanveer walked towards him and said, "Sir, we didn't hide it from you for any other purpose...it's true we were hesitant as Saima is close to you...and also we wanted to expose her through her mouth itself in front of your family...and she is a very talented player!! It's not easy to trap her at all...!!"

Asad was listening to it silently while in thought while Mehwish said, "Yes Sir...trying to hurt Zoya by spilling oil on the floor, threatening Ayaan to marry Aysha through Haseena Aunty and finally making Haseena Aunty alone the culprit..."

Aysha was stunned hearing that, as that news was new for her.

"...trying to abort Zoya's kid...it was a tuff time tackling her..."

Asad clenched his fists, while he said, "She played a lot with me and my Zoya right?? Now I will play with her!!"

Tanveer, Mehwish and Aysha looked at him in a questioning look. Asad looked at all of them.

"Asad still doesn't know anything about Saima...he still believes her so much..."

Tanveer was confused, while Asad said to her, "Looking at her pace, I am sure she will make another move soon...by that time I will make my relationship with Zoya bitter and send her out of my house eventually!!"

"Bhaijaan???" Aysha asked in fear, while Asad looked at her, "Don't panic Aysha...its safe for Zoya to stay out of Khan Mansion till I kick out Saima...I will explain Zoya about all these...these things should stay among us only, got it?? This is a sensitive case coz Saima is my family member...or else I would have eliminated her easily in a snap of a second..and moreover Zoya is pregnant too...I must not act hastily and put Zoya and our kid in danger..."

They nodded their head, while Asad sat back at his chair and rolled his paper weight, while in thoughts.

Scene shifted back to Farooqi Residence:

Zoya was stunned and dumbstruck listening to everything, while Shehzad looked at Aysha and Aysha smiled at him. Shehzad gave a painful smile at her, while Zoya was sitting in rage.

"Saima Siddiqui!! What I estimated about her for the first time was perfectly right!!!" Zoya said with an angry look.

"And when Saima visited me after some time with her newly cooked up plan" Asad said "I understood how quick she was going in her plot. I even called up Shehzad to talk about my plan, but I didn't know Saima would have travelled a long way ahead by then."

Asad looked at Shehzad and Zoya, "When I was trying Shehzad's phone and didn't get connected, I got a call from Aysha telling that Saima had made situations worse at home. I found that fiasco at the perfect one to execute my first step of moving out Zoya."

Zoya looked at him, while Asad said her, "When Shehzad asked Aysha to tell the truth for him, I was the one who signaled Aysha not to do so. Everything happened as I planned...but one thing which hurt me was...I couldn't hint you guys at all...which made you both go through a very bad mental turmoil thinking it was all true...I am sorry Zoya!!"

Zoya held Asad's hands and said, "I am sorry Asad...I should have understood that if Asad is reacting this way, there's something more to it. My bad...I am sorry!!"

Asad patted Zoya's cheek softly, while he looked at Shehzad and stood up, walking towards him.

"I behaved very rudely and badly with you today Shehzad!! Trust me...I had to do it otherwise you know...I would have never behaved that bad to you...I am really really sorry!! I will get you back in that house with all due respect again...okay??"

"It's okay Asad!! I am happy that you came to know everything now. At least now we can work against Saima and move her off your life!" Shehzad said, while Asad nodded his head.

"I am sorry Jeeju..." Humeira said with an awkward face, while Asad smiled at her and stroked her hair and said, "If we all are done saying sorry, shall we proceed with the next step??"

"What's the next step?" Humeira asked, while Asad looked at her and said, "Tomorrow I will send a divorce notice to your sister!!"

Everyone stood up hearing that in a shock, while Asad looked around at everyone.

"Asad, this better be a joke!!" Zoya said with a playful stare.

Asad laughed and said, "Joke for you Zoya, not for Saima!!"
