Part 23

Zoya's friends except Asad left after an hour.

"I have to go to candy counter now," said Humeira and went to the candy counter.

"I said too much to Nikhat," said Zoya.

"You said it in anger," said Asad.

"Don't know why I can't control my anger sometimes," said Zoya.

"Because your past comes in between," said Asad.

"She was so hurt," said Zoya.

"Come on, you apologized her and she is okay now," said Asad.

"Oh yeah," said Zoya.

"Then don't think about it," said Asad.

"I need to go for rehearsal," said Zoya.

"Okay, will meet tomorrow," said Asad.

"Yes," said Zoya.

"Bye," said Asad.

"Bye," said Zoya.

Next day in college, everyone gets to know about a new student entering the college in 3rd year IT department. Sexy Babes ran to the college ground to see that guy. Asad, Zoya and their friends curiously went to the ground along with many other students. A guy was getting down from his bike. He removed his helmet showing his face shocking Zoya and her friends. The guy was none other than Haider. Many girls including Sexy Babes were wowed on seeing one more handsome guy in their college but Haider's eyes were only on Zoya who he noticed in the crowd. Zoya saw him looking at her and wondered why he came to the college as a student.

"What's your name?" asked Tanveer in a sweet voice.

"Haider Sheikh," replied Haider in a normal tone.

Some guy then told everyone politely that he came on scholarship to introduce him to others which Haider confirmed. Sexy Babes became uninterested hearing this as he is not rich.

"Why he is saying wrong surname?" whispered Zoya to her friends.

"Don't know," whispered back Asad.

"He will be in my class only. I heard a new student coming in our class from some of my friedns and classmates but did not knew that it will be Haider only," said Nikhat.

"Why he has to come here to hurt Zoya more?" asked Ria unhappily.

"I need to talk to him alone," replied Zoya.

Haider went inside the college building and walked in the corridor. Zoya went after him.

"Haider," called Zoya from behind.

Haider turned around and saw Zoya. He went closer to her.

"Zoya," said Haider.

"Why you are continuing in my college that also with wrong surname?" asked Zoya.

"I came here for you," replied Haider.

"To hurt me more," said Zoya.

"No," said Haider, "I came here to be close to you."

"Leave from here. I don't want you in my college," said Zoya.

"No," said Haider.

"Excuse me?" asked Zoya.

"I will not leave. I will not let go of this chance to win you back. I have got the job as a cook in Seventh Heaven. I can't live a luxury life like before when my younger sister is struggling to survive on her own in this city. Also, I can't use my family status to get admission in college so I came on scholarship just like you. Don't worry, I will not tell about our relation to anyone. But please don't tell me to leave. I can't leave you alone, Zoya," replied Haider.

Zoya got annoyed.

"You did not stood be me whenever I needed you," said Zoya coldly.

"I know I did wrong but I want to correct my wrong," said Haider softly.

"Lets see how many days you survive without luxury," laughed Zoya.

"It will be hard just like its hard for you but I will be able to survive. Living as Haider Sheikh will be a challenge for me," said Haider and walked away from there.

Asad comes there after Haider left.

"What happened?" asked Asad.

"He came here for me. He even got job in our suite as a cook. He says he can't live in luxury when I am working hard like this," replied Zoya as she told him everything they talked.

"I think he really realized his mistake. So he is doing what he can to win you back," said Asad.

"Its not easy to forget everything he did," said Zoya.

"I know but if he is really repenting his mistakes then you should forgive him. I mean take your time in thinking about forgiving him only if he does not hurts you," said Asad.

"I will see what I should do. For now, I don't know what I should do," said Zoya.

"For now, lets go for our lectures. Class will start in some time," said Asad.

"Oh yeah, lets go," said Zoya.

Zoya and Asad left for their classroom.

Haider enters his class and sits at an empty bench. Nikhat entered the class and saw Haider. She wanted to talk something with him so she sat next to him.

"Nikhat," said Haider.

"Why you lied about your surname and came on scholarship?" asked Nikhat.

"Because I want to live like my younger sister is living," replied Haider.

"What will you say to your parents?" asked Nikhat.

"I will say that I shifted in Delhi college because I liked it," replied Haider.

"Looks like you have planned all this just like your sister," said Nikhat.

"We had no other choice than lie about our identities," said Haider.

"Hope nothing wrong happens with both of you," said Nikhat.

Nikhat got up and went to sit at other place.

After college, Haider went to the kitchen for his work. He was alone. He made chicken biryani as he recalled the time before Zoya's modelling days how he would make foods for his family especially Zoya and how he would pacify Zoya by making her any dish whenever she would be upset. He sent Preeti who was passing by to call Zoya as he wants to talk something with her.

Zoya was talking with Humeira in the lobby when Preeti came there.

"Zoya, Haider is calling you in the kitchen," said Preeti.

"What he wants to talk with me now?" asked Zoya with disinterest.

"That you will know after going to him," replied Preeti calmly.

"Fine, I am coming," said Zoya reluctantly.

Zoya went to the kitchen followed by Preeti and Humeira who stood outside the kitchen.

"Why you called me?" asked Zoya.

"Zoya, I called you to say that I made this chicken biryani for you. Remember, how I used to make dishes for you. Please have it," replied Haider with a smile.

"Do you really think I will eat anything made by you?" asked Zoya rudely, "When was the last time you made something for me? Yaa on my 18th birthday because I was allowed to eat anything I wanted only on special occasions. Do you remember how many times I asked you to make something for me without telling anyone but you refused saying my diet is more important. Aaj achaanak se mere liye itna pyaar kahaan se jag gaya ha? I will not have what you made."

"Zoya, please forget all that and have it. I made it lovingly for you," said Haider hurtfully.

"Its easy for you to tell me to forget all that because you did not went through the same what I went through for 2 years. Can you return those 2 years to me?" asked Zoya angrily.

Haider was silent.

"You are silent now because you have nothing to say now," said Zoya in a serious tone.

Haider packed the biryani in a casserole and kept it one of the kitchen drawers. Zoya walked from there leaving Haider sad. A couple of tears fell from his eyes.

"I don't know when I will get you forgiveness," said Haider sadly.

Preeti and Humeira looked him from outside the kitchen.

"He seems to be really trying," said Humeira.

"But Zoya can't forget everything so easily," said Preeti.

At night, Zoya and Humeira were sleeping in their room. Zoya suddenly got up from her sleep to drink water. She went to her kitchen and drank water from the fridge. She suddenly recalled Haider making chicken biryani for her and she rudely refusing to have that. She did not knew why she started to walk outside the room. She walked till she reached the kitchen of the suite. Preeti who was awake and walking around saw her and followed her till outside the kitchen. Zoya opened the drawer of the kitchen and remove the casserole from it. She again recalled Haider telling her that he made chicken biryani for her. She sat down resting her back to the wall and opened the lid of the casserole. Tears came in her eyes as she took a spoon. She started eating the chicken biryani from the casserole as she started crying. Preeti was shocked at the scene before here. Zoya finished the chicken biryani while crying throughout eating them. She kept the casserole in the sink along with the spoon. She drank some water from the fridge. She washed her face and left the kitchen not noticing Preeti outside the kitchen.(I lifted this scene from Jamai Raja where a similar scene was there between a mother and a daughter)

"Zoya, you still love Haider but can't forgive what all he did," said Preeti in a soft voice.

She left for her room.

Zoya went back to her room and slept after thinking what she did.

Scene shifts to Mumbai where Imraan is enjoying one of the parties his parents attend. He was standing at the bar counter waiting for his drink. The bartender was taking time.

"Can't you hurry up? How much I will wait?" asked Imraan rudely.

"1 minute sir," replied the bartender.

"Let it be, man. These low class people are like this only," came a man's voice from his side.

Imraan looked to his right to see a man who was also waiting for his drink like him. The man was none other than Murtaza who was also attending this party with his parents. The bartender was hurt at his comment. He quickly made both of their drinks.

"I know, man," said Imraan.

"Your drinks, sir," said the bartender to both of them.

They took their drinks and left the counter without thanking him.

"Lets sit there and talk," said Imraan.

"Okay," said Murtaza.

The two of them sat at a table.

"Cheers," said both of them as they bumped their glasses with each other.

"I have not seen you before," said Murtaza.

"I live in Delhi. I came here for just a week with my parents to attend parties," said Imraan.

"Oh," said Murtaza, "I live in Mumbai only. I am Murtaza Zakaria. My parents are into construction business. I am doing my BA from Wilson college."

"I am Imraan Qureshi. My parents are into embroidery business. I am doing fashion designing from Imperial college. Nice to meet you," said Imraan with a smile extending his hand.

"Nice to meet you too," said Murtaza with a smile shaking his hand.

"You are not doing business," said Imraan.

They bonded over few more drinks.

"I don't need to do that when I will be heir of my parents business anyway," said Murtaza.

"Well, I am doing fashion designing just to impress my parents," said Imraan.

Murtaza recalled on how Zoya was planning to go to the same fashion designing college as Imraan. He wants to know about that college where his ex-girlfriend wanted to go.

"So how is your college life?" asked Murtaza.

"Actually, I earlier had some friends to enjoy with but because of some stupid scholarship students I lost them and now I only have a couple of dumb friends," said Imraan annoyingly.

"What caused you to lose your friends?" asked Murtaza

Imraan first shows him the photos of his former friends on his cell phone and then photos of the scholarship students while telling him all their names. Murtaza is shocked to see Zoya in the photo of scholarship students and Imraan tells her name as Zoya who is also on scholarship.

"Who is she?" asked Murtaza pointing at Zoya's photo.

"As I said her name is Zoya Farooqui. She is also one of those stupid poor students. She is the main reason I lost my friends. She even slapped me once when I was talking to her friend Humeira. She insulted me many times along with her times. I hate her so much and all her friends including Asad who she is dating now," replied Imraan frustratingly.

"So Zoya is pretending to be poor to hide her identity. She is also dating another guy. Sorry Zoya baby, I can't let you be happy after dumping me," thinks Murtaza smiling inwardly.

He recalls Imraan saying that Zoya slapped him once. He then recalls how Zoya slapped him before breaking up with him after she caught him with a random girl.

"Looks like you enjoy slapping others. Now, I will make you pay for slapping me. Lets see how much days you will remain happy with your new life," thinks Murtaza wickedly.

"Imraan, I want to join fashion in your college," said Murtaza.

"But you are not interested in fashion but doing BA," said Imraan.

"Sometimes interest comes unexpectedly," said Murtaza eyeing Zoya's photo.

"I did not understood what you mean," said Imraan confusingly.

"Let it be, buddy. Just help me to take admission online," said Murtaza.

"Sure buddy," said Imraan.

Next morning, Haider goes to the kitchen. There were some other cooks. He sees the casserole where he kept chicken biryani in the sink and is shocked to see it empty.

"How is it empty?" asked Haider to himself.

"I think someone has eaten it," said Haider brushing off his thinking.

Preeti who was watching the scene from outside the kitchen smiles amusingly.

"I can't imagine how happy Haider will be on knowing who ate that," said Preeti amusingly.

Preeti went from there before Haider could see her.

Precap: #Haider overhears Preeti saying Humeira that she Zoya eating the chicken biryani at night while crying. Haider smiles happily hearing this while getting emotional.

#Imraan returns to college after a week along with his new friend Murtaza. Many girls including Sexy Babes drool over a new hot and handsome guy but Zoya and her friends are shocked to see him. Murtaza notices Zoya with her friends and smiles at her while she looks tensed.
