Hi guys! First of all I wanted to thank you for all you heartwarming comments. It's encouraging to know that you like this story even though I don't know yet what will be the end of the story.. Then I wanted to excuse myself for taking so much time to update but school is taking so much of my time right now as I'm in my high school's last year so I'm preparing the final exams etc..But I don't want to stop writing so I'm trying to manage both writing and studying. So I didn't reply to all the comments and I also wanted to excuse myself for the little confusion, Zoya is Humeira's baji not Humeira's bhabhi. 😉

Here he was, looking at the notes he had taken during the interview. Except the fact that he absolutely wanted to see her again, he couldn't deny the fact that she was quite excellent as a P.A. He decided to think about it for about a week before taking his decision.
Zoya on the other hand had decided to go out for fresh air. She put on her jogging attire and she began running to a park. She had always loved sport to keep fit and she could relax thanks to it.
She was running while listening to Beyonc. When she arrived at the park, she first sat on a bench and pulled out of her wallet the picture of Ahsan and Mahira. She thought that her parents were heartless to separate her from her children like this.
Flash black.
After a difficult pregnancy, Zoya experienced a difficult delivery too where she had lost a lot of blood.
When she woke up two hours later they had announced the death of her children. But deep inside Zoya didn't believe them. She knew that they were safe somewhere. Shortly after she had recovered from her pregnancy, her parents sent her to New-York to achieve her studies at her cousin's home Zeenat. It was only two months later that she discovered that her children were very much alive but her parents kept blackmailing her, saying that if she didn't succeed in life and she came back to India, they would abandon her children in an orphanage before she could reach India.
End of flash back.
Zoya blinked a few times to stop the tears which were threatening to fall and got up from the bench to begin running. She did understand her parents, that they wanted her to succeed in life but no one warranted such abuse.
She was starting to run and on each step, her anger towards her parents was growing bigger and bigger.
Asad was also running in this same park, thinking about his second encounter with Zoya. He couldn't erase her ethereal face from his mind. Aphrodite herself would've been jealous of her. He would always remember Zoya as the most beautiful woman alive. He was so deep in his thoughts, thinking about this woman when he collided into someone.
Zoya closed her eyes just waiting for the collision with the ground but she never collided with it. So she opened her eyes in wonder and found herself in Asad's arms. He smirked at her and she smiled back at him before going back to her senses.
"Aap!" She exclaimed, before straightening herself.
He smiled at her and brushed his hair.
"It seems like destiny is pushing us together.." He said and Zoya shivered on hearing his deep voice. Zoya blushed and he smiled even more.
"Your blush is the best make up that you could wear.." He added.
"Please Mr Khan! Stop it! I'm not interested!" She lied and Asad chuckled, as much as she could refuse it, he knew that he was doing something to her.
He was going to answer when his phone rang. He sighed before picking up the phone.
"Kya hua Tanveer?" He said. Zoya looked at him sadly on hearing this name but he couldn't see her, he had turned his back to her. She shook her head in disappointment and she ran away far from him.
"Tanveer stop bashing me with lame excuses. I said that I'll look after your son but only him. I don't care about you anymore."
"But Jammy.."
"Jammy my foot! Leave me alone! You're nothing but a cheater. It wasn't for the baby, I would've killed you!" Asad roared and hung up. He looked around him but Zoya was nowhere to be seen. He sighed deeply and walked back home.
For the first time in ages, Tanveer was very desperate. She looked at the little boy in the bed and sighed in annoyance. Then she looked at the results of her son's tests. He had only few months to live because he was suffering from a brain tumor.
"For once in your life, you could have done something correctly but it seems like even living was a hard task for you to achieve." She shook the baby violently and he cried in protest. He was already suffering from his brain tumor and now his mother hurting him was quite difficult to bear.
"Mama!!" He cried but Tanveer didn't listen to him until she got a call from Asad.
"I'm on your doorstep." He just said and Tanveer left the baby and opened the front door.
"Where is Habib?" He asked.
"He's sleeping. I need to talk to you about something Asad." She said. Even though she wanted his money, she couldn't let this baby depending on her.
"What now?"
"This morning, I got the results from Habib's tests. He's dying..." Tanveer said it with such hostility that Asad wanted to strangle her. His little champion was dying, and she couldn't react better than this?
"Where's Habib?" He asked once again and Tanveer showed him his room. Asad ran to the room, and found Habib fainted on the floor.
"Habib!" He shouted before carrying the baby out of the room.
He drove to the hospital without even caring for Tanveer who was shouting behind him. Everything he could think about was the baby boy in his arms.
When he arrived at hospital, he was like a mad man. He nearly strangled a doctor in despair. He just wanted someone to take care of his champion.
"Please! Take care of my little baby! Please!" A nurse finally came and took Habib from Asad. Then she brought him to a room to run tests on him. Asad sat on the chair in total pain from seeing his little champion in such a pain while he couldn't do anything to protect him.
Zoya on the other hand was just as sad as Asad. Days passed by but she couldn't get over the pain of the separation. She missed Ahsan and Mahira just like every mother would miss their children.
She was deep in thoughts when she got a call.
"Hello, Miss Farrooqui?" Asad asked and Zoya's heart jumped in its ribcage. She was attracted by him even if she denied it.
"Hello. It's me." (It was so tempting omg!)
"It's Mr Khan. You got the job." He said. "Can you please come to my office tomorrow?" He inquired.
"Yes, I will."
