Tanveer walked in anger in the office of Asad. His armchair was turned to the window.
"How could you hide it from me!" She screamed. "How could you hide it that you married Zoya?!" She shouted and the person in the armchair turned it around. It was Zoya who was laughing.
"Do you love my little wedding gift?" She asked, drinking her green tea. "The day you came rotting our house, I was Asad Ahmed Khan's wife! All these formalities like the mehendi ceremonial were just a scene to please my late ammi Dilshad."
Zoya laughed at her.
"You thought that you'll be the owner of all these things but look who fooled you! Me Zoya Ahmed Khan! I'm smarter than you Tanveer!" Zoya exclaimed.
"As long as I'm alive, I'll never let you have these properties!" Tanveer said.
Zoya wanted to answer but she got a call from Asad.
"Zoya?" Asad called.
"Ji?" She replied.
"Tanveer has gone to the lawyer. He just called me and he had told her exactly what we asked him to say so you must be cautious."
"Yes. I know it already."
"I'm coming, just stay in the office."
"Okay, I love you." Zoya said just to irritate Tanveer and Tanveer glared at her.
"I love you too." Asad replied and hung up.
"Can you please leave? My husband will come soon." Zoya said and Tanveer screamed with anger.
"I'll kill you Zoya Farooqui!"
"No, to you I'm Zoya Khan." Zoya replied. She smirked at her and walked to the door as she heard a knock.
She opened the door and saw Asad. She hugged him tightly and he hugged her back.
"Jammy?" Tanveer asked behind Zoya and he rolled his eyes.
"Kya hua Tanu?" He asked.
"It's not like it bothers me but why did you hide from me that Zoya and you were already married?" She said and it was Zoya's turn to roll her eyes.
"Tanu how many times do I have to tell you that you and I are just married for the sake of the baby? My private life stays mine. And as far as I know my relationship with Zoya is private. It's only between she and I." He said.
"But how do you want to take care of the baby when Zoya possesses everything?" She argued.
"I can take care of the baby without Zoya's heritage." He said.
"But.." She tried to say but Zoya stopped her.
"But what Tanveer? You can't say anything. Be happy that Asad is ready to fix his mistakes and he doesn't throw you away like a f**king wh**e!" Zoya said then she giggled.
"I'm going back home love. I'm tired." Zoya said and kissed him on the cheek.
"Allah hafiz." Zoya said and left the office as if nothing happened.
She stopped to the college to pick up Najma.
"Tamatar, I know that it will be weird but, I assure you that Tanveer won't touch your mother's fortune because I'm the owner. Tanveer isn't Asad's first wife, I am. And I'm also pregnant."
"But how?"
"It's a long story but just be sure that nothing will happen to you nor Asad. I'll protect you, I'll protect my family. And regarding your bhaijaan he's now believing us and he will do everything to punish Tanveer for all the things she has done to us." Zoya said and Najma hugged her tightly.
"You're so courageous Zoya! Thank you! I love you so much!" Najma exclaimed and Zoya smiled.
"I love you too tomato." Zoya kissed Najma on the forehead.
They were finally home so Zoya hurried to prepare the food for the iftaar. Asad came home an hour after them and Tanveer came home just ten minutes after him. She was going to fry samossas when Tanveer entered the kitchen.
"Let me fry them. After all this is my family too." She said.
"Oh please! I'm already frying them you can go. Don't act as if they mean something to you. Everyone here isn't fooled by your smile Tanveer. Since the beginning of Ramadan, Najma and I are the one killing ourselves in this kitchen for the iftaar, so stop bitching around with your 'I'm the bahu of this house crap'!" She said and out of anger, Tanveer dropped hot oil on the floor, burning Zoya's feet in the process.
"Ah!" Zoya shouted and both Asad and Najma ran to the kitchen to find a shocked Tanveer and a hurt Zoya. Asad walked to Zoya and he knelt in front of her.
"Kya hua Zoya?" He asked.
"As..Asad! My feet!" Zoya cried and Asad looked at her feet. They were red and swollen.
"Najma, please call a doctor!" He ordered carrying Zoya to her room :). He pulled off her shoes slowly and looked at her feet. She was badly injured.
"Is it an accident?" He asked knowing really well her answer.
"No, Ta..Tanveer did this..." She sobbed and Asad got up in anger.
"Wait, I'm coming back." He said and left. He walked to Tanveer who was wiping the floor and she looked at him slightly afraid.
He slapped her, really hard.
"Ja..Jammy.." She stuttered.
"Jammy my foot! Are you stupid or what? What happened today is intolerable! How could you hurt Zoya?! Ammi, Zoya and Najma are my life. If something happens to them, I'll do everything to pay back!" Asad shouted and Tanveer was afraid to the core.
"What's wrong with you? How dare you hurting Zoya bhabhi? You must be happy that she allows you to stay with us because, after all, she's the owner of this house!" Najma said and Tanveer glared at her.
"If you dare hurting Zoya once again or touching Tamatar, I'll kill you with my own hands!" Asad said seeing Tanveer's glare and Tanveer stared at him before leaving.
The doctor had come and had bandaged Zoya's feet. Najma had taken care of the iftaar and Asad had decided to be Zoya's own 'wheelchair' by carrying her around the house.
"Zoya I'm done with this plan in order to take revenge from Tanveer. She's dangerous, I don't.. I.. We have a lot of proofs against her. We can send her to jail.. I don't want you to be hurt. You've been hurt in the past because of my stupidity but I can't risk your life when I'm not blind any more." He said and Zoya kissed him on the lips. She held his hand and brought it under her kurta just above her heart.
"This heart will keep biting until every tear which has been caused by Tanveer is avenged." She said and Asad kissed her on the lips.
"Just promise me that you'll be cautious. I'll kill Tanveer if she tries to kill you." He said and Zoya smiled. She finally felt protected by him.
On the other hand, Dilshad walked in the Khan Villa and went straight to Tanveer's room. She burnt some papers not knowing that it was the wedding certificate which didn't get registered yet.
Tanveer woke up startled.
"..Khala..!" Tanveer said and she was crying. "You're dead! You can't be here!"
"Yes I am! I'm dead because of you! You took me away from my children! But you'll never manage to separate Zoya from Asad and Najma! Each step they'll make ahead will push you ten steps back!" She threatened Tanveer.
"I'll succeed Khala! You can't do anything against me! You're no one to stop me." Tanveer said and Dilshad slapped her hard.
"This is nothing compared to what I'll really do to you 'Tanu'!"
