Hello All!! 😊 So I am meeting you all in this FF after so long with two looong updates as a compensation!! 😉 This is going to be roller-coaster updates...and hope you all enjoy reading it!! 😳
Chapter 43It was night and Aysha was lying down in her room, facing the night sky ceiling, and biting the locket of her chain.
She turned towards the bed and was lost in thoughts about whatever happened in the past few days after Shehzad's arrival in their home.
She recalled the moments she had shared with Shehzad, and Shehzad's painful expression of his feelings for her.
"The truth is...I never ever loved any other girl other than you in my life, as my life partner!!!"
"Every Sunday you used to receive a Marigold Flower Bouquet at your home via courier, I did that!! Every time you were alone at the Chemistry Lab after college hours, I used to stay in college till you left home...It wasn't stalking, but the sense of security I felt over you...due to the love I had for you!!!"
Aysha smiled recalling all those, and took her mobile, and scrolled along the photos of her gallery, and stopped at hers and Shehzad's photo taken during their performance at Zoya's birthday party.
She looked at it and smiled and whispered, "Maybe...this was why...I didn't get Ayaan in my life?? Maybe Allah wanted me to wait for the right one in my life...the one who was meant only for me...Shehzad!!!"
*** Saima was in her room playing loud Bollywood music and enjoying to her heart's content.
She opened the door of her cupboard and saw Zoya's photo in it. She took the dart pins and aimed right on Zoya's face and laughed villainously.
"As I challenged your idiotic friends; Tanveer, Mehwish and Shehzad, I did kick you out Zoya!!!" Saima said with an evil smirk.
She jumped on her bed, "I no longer need to bear your damn face anymore in this house!! Asad is mine now...I will soon make Asad mine and be known officially as Mrs. Saima Asad Ahmed Khan!!"
Saima got up from the bed and laughed psychotically and said, "And...I will make Asad forget your name too in some days...Asad will just have one name in his mouth...Saima!!! Hahahahaa...Zoya will get completely erased off his life and memories too!!! Forever!!!"
Saima lied back on the bed laughing like a maniac, and switched off the lights.
*** "Are you sure everything will get sorted out soon??"
Zoya was talking to Asad on phone, sitting in the swing at her room balcony, while Humeira was sleeping inside.
"Yes baby...trust me!!" Asad said feeding the love birds next to his pool, in its cage. "Zoya, even I can't spend a moment without you...you too might be knowing that...if everything turns out as I had planned, by tomorrow Saima will be out of our lives and this family...then Asad and Zoya will be back again under a single roof...okay??"
"Hmmm..." Zoya said with a tensed face, and she turned back and looked at Humeira. Ensuring she is asleep, she continued talking, "And Asad...I wanted to tell you something!!"
"Yes Zoya??"
"I am sorry Asad...I misunderstood you for a moment when you suspected me...I shouldn't have done that right??" Zoya said with a sad look.
"Zoya, anyone in your place would have reacted like you only dear..." Asad said, "I didn't feel bad at all. Rather, I am feeling bad that in this state of yours, I had to put you in so much stress...sorry honey!!"
"You don't be sorry...it's my mistake...I am a fool you know!! You better scold me for all those harsh words I said to you!!"
"Well...in that case..." Asad said, and took away his phone from his ear and kissed the mic section of his phone.
Zoya smiled closing her eyes, feeling that virtual kiss, and asked in a low tone, "This is how...you scold me??"
"Hmmm..." Asad hummed in a husky tone with a smile and added, "If you were right now in front of me...I would have scolded more!!"
"You are getting naughtier day by day!" Zoya said blushing, while Asad sat in his easy chair at the pool, and said, "I love to...baby, why don't we talk the whole night on phone like this, till morning??"
Zoya smiled, and lied down in the swing and said, "As you wish, darling!!"
*** "What happened to Asad, Rashid??"
Dilshaad asked sitting in the bed with a worried look, while Rashid was in his rocking chair with an equally devastated look.
"How could Asad talk that way to the daughter-in-law of our house?? That too when she is carrying the first grandchild of the Khans'?? I just couldn't believe Asad too stood by Saima's words!!"
"And what's wrong with Saima, Dilshaad??" Rashid asked sitting upright in his chair, "The way she behaved today made me feel that she was purposely accusing Zoya and Shehzad...I don't know why I felt so...still I felt that way...her accusations were absurd!!"
"Rashid, make sure we talk to Asad about this tomorrow without fail. And yeah...I want my bahu to return to her home before the sunset tomorrow!!"
*** It was next day morning, and Asad was sitting at his office table looking at some papers, while someone knocked at his door.
"Yes??"
Ayaan opened the door and Asad turned and looked at him. Ayaan walked to him with a displeased look.
Asad got up from his place, "Ayaan?? What happened?? You look so dull??"
"And you look so happy, Bhaijaan?" Ayaan asked with an unbelievable look, "Bhaijaan, I can't believe you are all normal!! I mean...you kicked Zoya Bhaabhi out of this home when you are supposed to take care of her to the core...and you are busy with your day-to-day work??"
"Ayaan, listen..." Asad started, while Ayaan interrupted, "But still Bhai...how could you suspect Bhaabhi and Shehzad?? That too...believing Saima's words?? I just couldn't sleep last night peacefully...listen Bhai...I am going to bring back Bhaabhi here, no matter what you think...I..."
"Ayaan!!!" Asad shook Ayaan's shoulder and signaled him to stop, "Ayaan, just let me speak!! I know what I am doing...you will understand it soon!!"
Ayaan was confused listening to it, while Asad added, "When you love your Bhaabhi this much, I will love my wife even more right?? Have trust in your brother...he won't break anyone's heart...okay?"
"But...then why did you..."
"Asad!!! Asad!!!"
Asad and Ayaan both looked at the door hearing that scream, and they both rushed outside the room.
Asad and Ayaan looked at Zoya standing at the middle of the living room, with a paper in her hand, bustling in anger.
Asad smiled looking at Zoya, and Zoya raised her eyebrows at him and winked at him, while looked around looking for Saima.
Ayaan looked at Asad and Zoya smiling at each other, and was scratching his head in confusion.
Aysha came out of her room, and exclaimed in a loud tone, "Zoya Bhaabhi!!! You have come back again???"
Aysha looked around in an attempt to bring Saima out of her room, and Asad came to Zoya with a stern look.
"What have you come here for??" Asad asked in a loud tone, while Zoya asked in a low tone, "Where is that female??"
Asad scratched his temples and said in low tone looking around, "She is at home only...might come...there she is!!"
Saima came out of her room, and was puzzled looking at Zoya again in Khan Mansion.
"I don't have to answer you Asad Ahmed Khan!! Where are your parents who asked my hand in marriage to you?? I want to ask them about this!!" Zoya said showing a paper to Asad, while Saima walked to the living room slowly.
"Ammi, Abbu are not at home...you can ask me whatever you want to!" Asad said with a rude look.
"Ohhh...okay then!!" Zoya opened the papers and asked Asad, "How dare you send me these divorce papers Asad?? Haan??"
Saima opened her eyes wide in a pleasant shock, and murmured, "Asad prepared divorce papers in a single day?? Oh My God!!! This is exciting!!"
"Divorce papers??" Ayaan asked in a shock, and looked at Aysha and saw her smiling at the scene.
"Aysha, what are you finding so funny that you are smiling looking at all these??" Ayaan asked, while Aysha replied, "Zoya Bhaabhi is amazing...I never knew she is such an amazing actor!!"
"Actor??" Ayaan asked, and pressed his temples, "Ya Allah!!! Can someone tell me what's happening in this house??"
Aysha signaled him to wait, and asked him to focus on the scene in front of them.
"Yes...my decision is final!! I no longer want to live with a wife who is unfaithful to me...and I have taken this decision with a deep thought to it."
Zoya looked at Asad in tears, "That's it Asad?? Everything is over with this single sheet of paper?"
Asad looked away in anger, while Zoya wiped her tears and said, "Okay Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan!! If this is your decision, so be it. But keep in mind, one day or the other you will regret this decision of yours. And don't ever think you will get the custody of my kid; I will never let him to grow under a cheap, low-minded father!! Good bye!!"
Zoya walked off with the papers, while Asad too walked back to his room in anger and shut the door with a bang.
Saima controlled her laughter out of happiness, and ran to her room happily. Ayaan was completely lost looking at all the events while Aysha ran into Asad's room.
"Bhaijaan, she went to her room!!"
Asad came out of the room listening it, and stealthily sneaked out of home, with Aysha following him.
"What is going on?" Ayaan was confused and decided to follow Aysha and Asad.
Asad walked out near the gate and saw Zoya standing there. He smiled and reached next to her, while Zoya too smiled back at him.
"How was it, hubby?" Zoya asked wiping her fake tears, while Asad laughed and hugged her tight.
Ayaan who was coming out went berserk looking at that scene.
"What an acting Mrs. Khan??" Asad asked and he went two steps back and folded his hands, "By the way, cheap low-minded father?? That was not in our script!!"
Zoya giggled, looking at Aysha, "I mean...uhh...it has to be natural right?? Otherwise we all know you are going to be the best father, right Aysha?"
Aysha nodded her head and hugged Zoya.
"What the hell is happening in this house, can anybody explain me please??!!"
Asad, Zoya and Aysha turned back at Ayaan, who was scratching his head, coming to them.
"Bhai, you were telling you won't break Bhaabhi's heart...then suddenly Bhaabhi came, and you are telling you want to divorce her..." Ayaan looked at Aysha and poked her head, "This duffer is smiling and watching that, as if you both were enacting some love scene...and then now you are hugging each other...Bhai, better explain me now...or I will go crazy in some time!!"
The trio laughed hearing it, while Asad said to Aysha, "Aysha, explain my little brother what is going on here, coz we might need his help too. By that time, I shall drop Zoya back home, okay??"
"Okay Bhaijaan!!" Aysha said, while Asad took Zoya with him and walked out, while Aysha looked at Ayaan.
"I can't believe you are involved in a plan, and a day will come that you will explain me about plans...such a twist of fate!!" Ayaan said, while Aysha hit him playfully and said, "Ayaan, it's a very small large story!!"
*** "Asad, you are sure Saima would have believed us yeah??" Zoya asked while in car, while Asad was driving to Zoya's home.
"Definitely...if not too, now after my move while reaching back home, she will be left with no option but to believe this."
Zoya heaved, "What all drama with our own family itself!! I am glad Ammi is not in town to see all this. I never thought we would have to play such tricks with our own people."
"Me too. I mean...it's easy to send off Saima...but I don't want it to happen that way, Zoya." Asad said, while Zoya looked at him, "I want each and everyone to know about her reality. At least with that she might try to reform...maybe that insult would teach her a lesson. And moreover I wanted to make her taste her own medicine."
Zoya looked on, while Asad added, "She played a dirty drama and kicked you and Shehzad out right?? I too will play a similar drama and kick her out. She has to know how it feels like playing with Asad Ahmed Khan!!"
*** Back at Khan Mansion, Ayaan was walking furiously inside the house, while Aysha went back of him.
"Ayaan, listen to me!! Just relax!!"
"What do you mean by relax?? Just leave me...I will throw her out right now!!" Ayaan turned at Aysha with a screaming voice, while Aysha closed his mouth.
"Ssshhh!!! Please don't shout Ayaan!!" Aysha said in a low tone and looked around.
Ayaan pushed her hand, while Aysha explained, "Ayaan, I can understand your anger. I can totally see that you are furious at Saima Baaji for what she did with Asad Bhaijaan and Zoya Bhaabhi, but this is the time we have to act wisely, Ayaan."
"I would have killed your Baaji yesterday itself when she was speaking nonsense about my Bhaabhi and Shehzad...well...you guys have your way...but pucca she will get a gift from me!"
Just then, Humeira came to Khan Mansion, while Aysha looked at her.
"Thank God, Humeira is here." Aysha said with a smile, while Ayaan too looked at Humeira and he walked inside his room, while Humeira came to Aysha.
"What happened Aysha?" Humeira asked looking at Ayaan walking off.
"I said him about Saima Baaji...you know Ayaan...he is short-tempered. I think only you can make him understand and get along with us."
Humeira nodded her head, while Aysha got a call. Humeira walked towards Ayaan's room, while Aysha picked up the call.
"Hello??"
"Aysha..."
Aysha felt a wave of fresh air hearing that voice as she walked slowly towards her room.
"Shehzad??" Aysha asked back, as she closed the door at her room.
Shehzad who was on the other side was surprised that Aysha recognized his voice. He stood up from the sofa at Tanveer's home.
"Uhh...how are you??" Shehzad asked, while Aysha smiled and replied, "Fine...you??"
"Fine...thanks to you!"
"Sorry??" Aysha asked, adjusting her glasses.
"Thanks a lot for everything Aysha!!" Shehzad said as he added, "I mean...if not for you, I don't know how I would have proved myself in front of all. I don't have words to express my gratitude to you Aysha. Thank you so much!!"
Aysha just smiled listening to it, while Shehzad added, "And...sorry for being harsh to you at the station without knowing how much you have helped me...I just blasted at you...I am really very sorry!"
"Now, which one do I take...thank you or sorry??" Aysha asked, while Shehzad smiled hearing it.
"I just want to know one thing. Did you tell everything to Asad thinking about Zoya alone or...you said it for...considering me too?? I hope...you understand what I am asking..."
Aysha just sat down at her table with a smile, with her hair fluttering in the fan's wind, as she lifted the anonymous letters which was sent by Shehzad portraying as Ashfaq, which was lying inside her file.
"No...I don't understand..." Aysha said biting the letter with her teeth, hiding her smile.
Shehzad wiped his face as he gathered up courage and asked "Have you...have you accepted...accepted my love Aysha??"
Aysha looked up hearing it and smiled over it, while Shehzad was expectantly waiting for her reply with a smile, oblivious of Tanveer and Mehwish standing behind him, with Tanveer eyeing a heartbroken teary-eyed Mehwish.
"Aysha...please say something...yes or no?" Shehzad asked while he added, "Aysha, I have been waiting to listen to the answer of this question since the day I saw you...for 8 long years...it started as a high school crush, and I don't know when it became serious love. All I want to tell is...whether your answer is yes or no...I always loved only you, I love only you and no one else ever!!" Mehwish walked out of the house listening that, while Tanveer too followed her back.
Aysha was moved hearing all that, while she reassured herself and said "I can't give you the answer now!! If you want to know my answer, meet me at the place I message you at night!!" Saying so, Aysha cut the call and gave a naughty smile.
"Aysh..." Shehzad looked at the phone and tapped the phone on his chest, and muttered, "Aysha...you are also making me wait so much, and when I asked Asad what he meant by calling Zoya my sister at the station, even he said me to wait till Saima is out...guess I will spend my entire life waiting for people!"
Shehzad smiled and walked inside the home.
*** Back at the street behind Tanveer's home, Tanveer was looking at a worried Mehwish who was standing by the tree with a disheartened face.
"Mehwi...are you okay??" Tanveer asked placing her hand on Mehwish's shoulder.
"Yeah..." Mehwish looked at her with tears in her face and smiled, "I am okay Tannu, don't worry!!"
"Why are you hiding from me?? I know how much you have loved Shehzad...all these 8 years...I always said you not to delay in expressing love...now see what happened??"
"No Tannu." Mehwish said looking at Tanveer with a smile, "Didn't you hear what Shehzu said?? He is in love with her since the day he saw her...then what would have been the point if I had proposed him then or now?? And moreover I am happy, that we both actually helped him get closer to his love...I mean...what other happiness can I have other than the fact that at least the guy whom I loved has got his love!!"
Tanveer was hurt listening to it, while Mehwish patted Tanveer's cheeks and said with a smile, "I am happy Tannu. I am very happy for Shehzu and Aysha...they make a lovely couple...and I am so glad!! Come, lets meet Shehzu!!"
Saying so, Mehwish walked off, while Tanveer looked at her with a sad look and said to herself, "How much ever you hide, I can see how much you are hurt Mehwi...I hope you come out of this soon!!"
Mehwish hid behind another tree, and broke into tears closing her mouth, and tried to compose herself as tears rolled out through her cheeks.
*** Back at Khan Mansion,
Asad walked towards Saima's room with a thoughtful face and knocked her door. Hearing her consent, he opened the door and Saima got up instantly looking at Asad.
"Asad!! You?" Saima asked with a smile.
"Saima, shall we go out for lunch??" Asad asked, while an excited Saima gave a wide smile hearing it.
"Lunch?? Asad, are you serious??" Saima asked with wide open eyes, "You want me to come out for lunch with you?? I mean...you and me alone??"
"Yes...I am feeling too gloomy. Today is an off day too. And other than you, I don't feel like spending time with anyone...that's why!!"
Saima's joy knew no bounds as she heard all that, while Asad silently stared at her, being happy that his plan was working out.
"Sure!! Sure Asad...I will get ready in some time!!" Saima smiled happily and rushed to the washroom, while Asad smirked looking at that.
"You want a lunch date with me right?? We will definitely have such a date today which you won't be able to forget life long, Saima Siddiqui!!"
