Even though Zoya was not much angry but she wanted Humeira to pacify her as she missed her very much and wanted to know what new trick will she adopt this time for the mission. But she was surprised when Humeira came up with dessert as this was the oldest trick in the box which she used to do in their childhood. Missing those days and having her little sister back, Zoya couldn't continue her act of anger.
So both the sisters cherished the dessert in their favourite company after a long time. Lost in their own world they didn't notice the glances they received from different sides of the hall.
Khan family too witnessed the amazing bond between the sisters and like all others a content smile appeared on their face too. Yet they did not know the actual relation between the duo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Khan siblings were proceeding for dinner when they bumped into Humeira who was busy with attending guests.
Since she was already missing in wedding and also her return after two years she had to meet and answer the queries of lots of people. She met few of the closest relatives aftr which she collided with Khans again.This time there was only younger generation though!
She already formed a good bond with them in her last visits
Saying their greetings, Khan girls indulged her in a conversation.
'So Humeira since your studies are over. What about the future plans?" enquired Najma.
"Filal toh kuch plans nahi. Bas kuch mahine yahi hun, yaha ki friends,family sab ko bahut miss kiya. Sabke saat kuch waqt bitana chahti hoon baki fir dekhte hai." Humeira shared.
"Toh kya aap abhi koi kaam karne mein interested nahi?" Nuzhat could not help herself but ask.
"Kaam..New York mein offers mile the par mein wapis aana chahti thi aur shayad yaha company join karoongi. Ab toh kuch socha nahi hai."
"Haa. Ab tum enjoy karo apna time yaha. Waise bahut saal baat itne din rukne kelie aa rahi ho na?!" Nikhat remarked.
"Jee wahi bahut saal ho gaya! Lekin mujhe nahi lagta aapi mujhe zyada din free denge..jald hi office join karne kelie order dega'' Humeira could not help but complain.
"Aapi..? Waise apna hi company hai na you could adjust, right? " Najma voiced her confusion.
"Haan.. woh Zoya aapi..If I have to kick start my career, then I guess her company would be the best option waise Farooquis are doing great right?!"
"Haan Farooquis... lekin humne socha ki aap Siddiquis join karegi.." Nuzhat is confused with the turn of the conversation.
"Nahi it was already decided that if I join then it will be Farooquis. Waise you guys may have heard how hardworking Aapi is, so I just can't miss a chance of working with her."
"Haan suna toh tha aur hum sab toh unka fan bhi hai lekin we didn't know she is related to you." Najma spoke what was in the mind of all other Khans.
"O..Actually Zoya aapi meri Khala ki beti hai. Aur hum dono toh bahut close hai ek dusre ke. Lekin once I join the company then she would go all strict like a boss for sure.."
"We know exactly how difficult it would be, we have our own very experience!"
Ayaan spoke for the first time giving a glance at Asad
Humeira understood his words and so she asked, "Waise abbu ne bataya ki aap log bhi office jaana shuru kiya hai ? "
"Mein nahi. Ayaan bhaijaan toh officially join kiya kuch mahine pehle aur ye dono bhi help karne kelie jaate hai.." replied Nuzhat pointing towards each of them.
Humeira smiled at this and before she could respond she heard her name being called. So excusing herself, she moved towards her mother who was calling her.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After meeting their friends and having the dinner Khan family finally decided to return back home.
The elders left first as they were all tired while the younger generations stayed back a little longer to catch up with their friends. Finally they decided to leave and all together moved into parking lot.
While walking, they were busy discussing about the new found information about the relation of Humeira and Zoya. They did not get much time earlier in the function to discuss about this.
"Agar woh dono cousins hai toh fir Zoya Sheikhs ke saath kyon ruka tha? She could have stayed with her aunt right?" Nuzhat voiced her confusion.
"Nuzhat woh tumse badi hai don't call her name" Asad could not help but intervene.
"Teek hai toh Zoya aapi pukarogi..khush?!? Waise aaj tak toh kuch nahi kaha ab achanak kya hua naam pukarne se..?" Nuzhat gave him a doubtful look.
Ayaan decided to use this chance to pull his brother's leg.
"Woh kya hai na Nuzhat bhaijan chahte hai ki hum log unhe .."
Asad glared at him before he could complete his sentence.
"respect de. Pata hai he even called her beauty with brains' "
"Kya sach mein? Lekin kab? Yaha kya kya ho raha hai? Kya hua bhaijan aapko? you praised a girl !?!"
The girls were all hell shocked knowing their brother praised a girl
"Isme itna shock hon ki kya baat hai I even praise you guys"
Asad is embarrassed with the turn of events and so his hands moved up to his forhead seeing his dramatic sisters.
"Yes aap sirf hume praise karta hai sirf hume aur ab.." Najma can't get over her shock yet! ;)
"Lagta hai bhaijan bhi humare fan club mein shamil hone wala hai" Nikhat piped in.
"Will you guys drop this topic for now, we are getting late" Asad walked ahead saying this.
Shaking their heads at their akdu bhaijan they too followed saying
"Yes, just for now!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zoya was arguing with Haider in the parking lot when Khans made the entry.
"Haider aaj mein ghar jaati hun. I am already tired aur kal Humeira bhi aa jaungi."
"Woh kal ki baat hain na aaj toh tum mere saath aa rahi ho. I don't want you to stay alone." Haider ordered.
"Haider mein akele reh sakti hun. Bachhi nahi hun mein."
"Jaanta hoon tum bachhi nahi ho lekin now you are being stubborn like a child only."
"Haider..."
"Look Zoya we have already decided on this..now you are starting a useless fight."
Hearing the approaching footsteps Zoya decided to stay silent rather than creating a scene in front of the guests.
Seeing the Khans Haider had a smile playing on his lips and knowing the reason Zoya decided to pull his legs.
"Alright! Let's go!"
"Huh?" Haider didn't expect Zoya to gave in so easily.
"Let's leave! " Zoya punctuated, enjoying Haider's expression.
Understanding Zoya's game Haider glared at her and stated
"Khala asked to drop Humeira home as she would be tired and others would take time in returning."
Zoya knew she can't win this time too and so pouted unhappily at Haider.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seeing Zoya, Khan girls became excited and approached her leaving Asad and Ayaan behind. And Asad shook his head witnessing their craziness over his 'wierd' girl.
Since the girls already met Zoya at Nikah it didn't take much time for them to start a conversation with Miss.Introvert.
Haider knowing she is not much of a people's person couldn't help but appreciate her efforts to answer the young girls even though his glance would slide away again and again in a particular direction.
Seeing Asad he shook his hands and exchanged the greetings.
"I am finally glad to meet the great AAK whom the world praises so much. And I guess now I too would join them." Haider said with a smile.
Asad gave him a embarrassed smile since he could never get used to compliments as such.
Ayaan understanding his predicament decided to divert the topic.
"We have never been introduced. Ayaan Ahmed Khan" Ayaan introduced himself to Zoya raising his hands for shaking.
Giving him a smile Zoya took his hand "Zoya Farooqui."
"Aur waise you have already met bhaijan but let me introduce you two officially.So meet Mr.Asad Ahmed Khan"
Asad rolled his eyes at Ayaan's silly antics but shook his hands with Zoya.
Knowing his bhaijan would not say anything Ayaan decided to continue the conversation.
"Are you guys waiting for Humeira?"
This caught the attention of girls too as they heard Ayaan mentioning about Humeira. Zoya being clueless about the secret between Khan siblings gave a confused glance.
"We caught the last of your conversation" Ayaan clarified seeing the confused look of Haider and Zoya even though he mentally chided himself for bringing up this topic since he know his sister very well and in this matter his brother too.
"Haan. Look, she is coming." Zoya replied pointing towards Humeira who is walking towards them with Maha and other cousins.
Reaching them Humeira gave a smile and asked Zoya
"So you forgot your sister when you got your fans?"
"Fans?!?" The word confused as well as surprised Zoya.
Humeira glanced at Khans to check whether she offended them by saying it but when she saw the smiles on their faces she got her green signal to continue.
"Haan. They were telling me that you are their role model. And so now since you got them, I thought you might forget me."Humeira ended side hugging Zoya.
Zoya was really surprised hearing this and she glanced the Khans."Role model ? Me?"
"Yes! of course there are many girls around who consider you as their role model for you determination and hard work." Praised Nuzhat
Asad knew the crazy antics of his sisters but the innocence of Zoya's face made him bare the scene.
"Ok!That was new someone claiming me as their role model but thanks for your words.." Unusually Zoya was at ease with these crazy gang.
Haider could not help but smile at Zoya's efforts as well as innocent words. The girl is truly pure and he felt proud of her.
"Waise Uncle kaha hai?" Humeira enquired looking around.
"He left earlier. He has something up early tomorrow." Zoya replied.
Asad cleared his throat and addressed his family."Der ho rahi hai.. ghar chale?"
Other Khans unhappily nodded their head and bid good bye.
Soon the other trio too left.
