Ishq Toh Hona Hi Tha!!! AsYa FF #4 - **Updated Last Chapter** - Page 28

After a leap of 2 years

"Cuckoo...cuckoo...

Zoya opened her eyes from sleep and rubbed it and looked at the ceiling with a sleepy look.

She tried to turn to the side, while Asad's arm lay on top of her above their duvet. Zoya smiled and looked at him sleeping on her right, with his head rested on Zoya's shoulder.

Zoya caressed his hair and moved closer to him, and hugged him by the side.

"Asad... Zoya said in a low tone.

"Hmmm...

"Wake up...

"What's the hurry Zoya... Asad said in a sleepy tone and wrapped his hand little more over Zoya.

Zoya looked at the clock and said with a smile, "Its 7 Asad...

Zoya rested her head close to his and closed her eyes with a smile, while she quickly opened her eyes in horror.

"Ya Allah!!! It's 7!!!!

Zoya pushed Asad's hand away and sat up adjusting her hair and pulled her duvet closer to her.

"Get up Asad!!! Get up!!!

"Why are you torturing me after such a lovely night Zoya... Asad said in a sulky tone, "Come nah...we will try to...

Asad extended his hand while Zoya pushed him with an angry look.

"Besharam!! It's your brother and sister's wedding today...and engagement too...and you had to romance the previous night only??

Asad opened his eyes and pulled Zoya back in the bed, and moved on top of her holding her, "Really?? Yesterday you didn't remember all this when I initiated Begum Sahiba??

Zoya shifted her look, while she drew on Asad's bare chest with her finger, "Uhh...that was...you...you mesmerized me...and bechaari me...

"Bechaari?? You?? Asad asked with a laugh, "That's why yesterday you came to me and...well...

Asad pushed his head towards Zoya's nape while Zoya giggled and said, "Do you remember that we have a 2 year old daughter??

"So...2 year old chid's parents can't romance?? It's illegal?? And yeah...she came in our life only because I romanced you like this... Asad said with a laugh.

"Move...badmaash!! Zoya laughed and got out of the bed with her duvet, while Asad looked at her with a smile.

Zoya threw his shirt on his face with a teasing look and walked inside. Asad moved the shirt from his face and shook his head with a smile.

***

"Yes Mr. Khanna...the second road, Khan Mansion...it would be decorated with lights and flowers outside. I will meet you soon!!

Asad cut the call as he came to the living room and saw people decorating curtains and flowers over there.

"Guys...quick...I want everything perfect and ready within 1 hour... Asad commanded and he looked for a number, while he commanded to some other guys, "Make sure the chairs at the lawn are arranged...and ask Haseena Mumaani to check with the catering.

Asad dialed Zoya's number and tried it while two guys were walking inside with a glass dcor.

"Careful!! Asad said, while he said on phone, "Zoya...where are you?? How long will you take?? Buying bangles now...really?? I said you to check everything last night itself...

"Why are you getting so hyper now Asad?? Zoya asked walking in a corridor, "I will be back in 30 minutes...you take care of Azma...

"Begum Sahiba, I know to take care of my princess...you need not remind me... Asad said with a smirk climbing up the stairs.

"Yeah yeah...great! Zoya said holding back her smile, while sitting at a chair.

"Anyways...come soon...I will be waiting for you...okay?? Asad said with a smile.

"Okay... Zoya smiled, "I love you!

"Love you too jaan! Asad said and cut the call as he walked upstairs.

***

Meanwhile Zoya was waiting in a chair, as she dialed Tanveer's number.

"Tannu, Humeira is ready??

"Yeah Zoya... Tanveer said walking in the living room of Shireen's home with a plate of flowers, "She just has to change to her bridal attire now...Shehzad is getting ready...when you are coming??

"I am at the hospital now...will go from here straight to my home, change and come there...then we will all go to Khan Mansion together.

"Cool...and yeah...update me!! Tanveer said with a smile.

"Pucca!! Zoya giggled, while the nurse came to her, "Mrs. Zoya Ahmed Khan? Doctor is calling you.

Zoya got up from her seat and said Tanveer, "Call you back!

Zoya cut the call and opened the doctor's cabin.

"Hi Payal!!

"Come in Zoya Ji!! Dr. Payal said with a smile, as Zoya sat at the chair opposite her with a smile.

"Sorry I had to hurry you up for this...but seriously I couldn't wait till tomorrow... Zoya said with a nervous and excited look.

"No issues...anything for you Zoya!! Payal said and looked at a file and read the details, while Zoya was looking at her keenly.

Payal shifted her sight from the file to Zoya, and closed the file and looked at her.

"Well...this time I won't agree for rasgullas alone...I need Dilshaad Khaala's Rasmalai too...!! Payal said with a smile, while Zoya opened her mouth in awe and raised her eyebrows in question.

Payal nodded and showed three fingers to her, "You are 3 weeks pregnant!!

Zoya closed her mouth with her fingers in happiness as she closed her eyes and looked at Payal.

"Thank you so much Payal!! I just...I don't know...I am too happy...excited...emotional...I don't know... Zoya said as tears built up in her eyes, while Payal looked at her happily.

"You know Payal...I always wanted one child only...but I knew that Asad always wanted two kids...so this baby is my gift to Asad... Zoya said emotionally with a smile, "That's why without even mentioning to him, I came for the test yesterday with Tanveer...so Payal, don't tell Asad at the wedding today...I will tell him myself tonight...

"Sure Zoya... Payal said while Zoya said, "Well, Tanveer will come to meet you at noon to pick up my medicines and report...you can give it to her...now if I go with report and medicines, Asad will find out...

"Cool! Payal said while Zoya got up, "I will leave now...come soon to the wedding Payal!!

"Of course...I will come after my shift at 12... Payal said, while Zoya rushed out in quick steps.

"Zoya, slow!! Payal said with a giggle, "Back to pregnancy days...careful...remember??

Zoya giggled and said, "Sorry!! I will take care!!

Zoya walked out in the corridor with a wide smile, while she looked down and caressed her tummy.

She then dialed in her phone and exclaimed with a smile, "Tannu!! Yes!!

***

Zoya reached Khan Mansion and controlled her excitement and came inside.

She walked to her room and saw Azma sitting in the bed and playing with blocks.

Zoya kept her bag aside and took her in her arms, "Missed Ammi??

Azma gave a slight giggle burying her face in Zoya's neck, while Zoya kissed her and said in a whisper, "You are gonna have a brother or sister soon!!

Just then Asad came out of the dressing room, and looked at Zoya there.

Zoya looked at him dressed in an ink blue sherwani with a golden shawl. Zoya smiled and she made Azma sit back in the bed. She walked towards Asad, while Asad ignored her and moved towards the dressing table.

Asad combed his hair, while Zoya hugged him from behind clasping both her hands on Asad's either sides of his torso.

"Angry with me?? Zoya asked looking at his reflection in the mirror.

Asad turned at her and asked, "No! I am alright...I have my princess with me...you stay out itself...

Asad walked to the bed and smiled at Azma, as Azma extended her hands to Asad to lift her up.

Zoya placed both her hands on her hips and said, "Okay...so now dad and daughter are a team haan??

"Yes! Asad said kissing Azma and asked her, "Ammi or Abbu??

Azma pointed at Zoya, "Ammi!!

Zoya folded her hands and raised her eyebrow at him with a smirk.

"Ammi?? Really?

"Asad Ahmed Khan...agree that even you need me only the most!! Zoya said while taking out her dress for the wedding, "Morning you were all romantic...and now you are showing me your anger...let me see what you do without me even for a single day...then taunt me...!!

Zoya walked with her dress in the dressing room, while Asad smiled and kissed Azma and said her, "You play here, while I persuade your Ammi and come...

"Abbu...I want Ayaan Chachu... Azma said poking Asad's cheeks.

"Well...Ayaan Chachu must be busy today...anyways...he always has time for you... Asad walked out and saw their servant Wajid.

"Wajid Bhaijaan...take Azma to Ayaan...I will come there in some time... Wajid smiled and took Azma with him, as Azma waved hands at Asad, as he waved back and smiled at her.

Zoya kept her dress aside and unpinned her dupatta while murmuring, "When I am not here...he keeps calling me...last night he was treating me in cloud nine...one mistake I do...he gets angry and shows attitude...hmphh!

Zoya started to unzip her kameez, while Zoya saw Asad coming inside the dressing room.

"Asad!! Zoya turned and looked at him with a stern look, "Badtameez! Well...what do you want now??

Asad came and pulled Zoya by her waist and brought her closer, "I was missing you for this...and that's why I got angry jaan!!

"Get lost! Zoya sulked and pushed him back and took her skirt, while Asad hugged her from back.

"This much guroor? Even the moon doesn't have this much guroor as you! Asad said while Zoya turned back and said with a smirk, "Yeah right...you are Devdas and I am Paro...very funny...

Asad giggled, while Zoya cleared the wrinkles from the skirt and said, "Keep in mind, Devdas and Paro never united in their life...so keep in mind before telling those dialogues...I too might leave like Paro from your life...!!

Asad's face went gloomy, while he said with a smile, "No problem...I will die at your footstep like Devdas...!

"Asad!! Zoya turned back and covered his mouth with her hand, "What is this...I just said for fun...and you took it too seriously...don't ever talk about death or such to me hereafter!

Zoya looked down, while Asad brought her close to him and said cupping her face with his hands, "I am serious Zoya...trust me...if there comes a day that Zoya is no longer in Asad's life...there won't be Asad any more after that!

Zoya was emotional hearing it, and she kissed Asad's teary eyes pulling his face closer to her and said, "No...I won't go anywhere from you...and...and why are we speaking all these things today?? "

Zoya lifted his face as he looked at her. She said, "It's a happy day today...and no emotional talks like this...we have a long way to go with Azma and...

"And...?? Asad asked, while Zoya remembered her to-be-born child and smiled. She looked at him and said wrapping her hands around his neck, "Azma and our family!!

Asad smiled and grabbed her waist and brought her closer, and asked with a smile, "Well...any help in changing??

Zoya raised her eyebrows with a smile and asked him, "Asad Ahmed Khan...you are a father too now...but you still seem to be in that boyfriend mode!!

"I am always your boyfriend only...be it we cross 60 years and have grandchildren too... Asad said with a smile, while Zoya looked down smiling with a blushed face, and pushed the door behind Asad shutting it.

***

"Since the day I saw you...there is no one else who could take place in my heart!

Ayaan said holding a rose in his hand, dressed in his green sherwani all ready for his wedding.

"And I assure you...no one else can take your place in my heart too...so today with all that love I would like to ask you...

Imraan and Najma were looking at him with a smile, while Ayaan knelt down and extended the rose.

"Darling, will you marry me??

"Okay!! Aysha said coming inside dressed in her wedding attire, while Ayaan turned at her.

"I have taken this video and will send to Humeira now itself...and show that her would-be is a cheater!!

Ayaan gave an ignoring angry look at her and turned towards the front again, "Tell me honey...will you marry me??

Azma took the rose and laughed looking at Ayaan, while Ayaan lifted her up and kissed on her cheek.

"See...I said you my Azma baby will accept my proposal!! Ayaan said looking at Azma on his arms.

"I pity Humeira...seriously... Najma said with a laugh, "First of all she is getting married to a kid...now with someone having an affair with a 2 year baby!!

"Kid?? Ayaan asked in anger, "You are talking about kid...Chotti??

"Bhaijaan!! I swear I will kill you if you call me that one more time!! Najma said coming to Ayaan with an angry face.

"Okay!! Ayaan handed over Azma to Imraan and went near Najma and shouted on her ears, "Chotti!! Chotti!! Chottiii!!!!

"Aaargghhh!! Najma screamed and chased Ayaan out of the room, and both of them dashed against Asad.

"Ya Allah!! What's going on?? Asad asked while Ayaan and Najma ran around him.

"Guys!!! Asad split up Ayaan and Najma, "Grow up!! And you...Mr. Ayaan Ahmed Khan, are you aware that you are getting married today?? Is this the time and age to play catch and catch??

Ayaan looked down with a giggle, and Asad asked, "What's funny??

Ayaan put his hand over Najma's shoulder and said, "Well...even you must be aware that it's your brother's wedding today...but... Ayaan moved close to Asad, "...what is this blush stain on your cheeks Bhaijaan...naughty boy!!

Asad wiped it and gave an embarrassed look, while Ayaan and Najma laughed and ran away from there.

"Damn...how much times I have asked Zoya not to apply so much blush... Asad murmured wiping it off, looking at his reflection in the mirror opposite him.

"Bhaijaan!!

Asad looked far away while Ayaan said, "Check for lipstick marks Bhaijaan!! Many VIPs would be coming for the wedding...beware!!

"Get lost!!! Asad taunted while they ran inside running. Asad looked down and a smile escaped his lips.

"Asad, where is Zoya??

Dilshaad came to him carrying a plate with flowers.

"She left to Shireen Ammi's home. She will come back with Shehzad and Humeira for the wedding.

"Ayaan, Najma, Imraan, Aysha...all are ready??

"Yeah right...they are roaming around as if it's someone else's wedding. Asad said with a worn out look, "God!! Ammi, I tell you...they are still kids and I don't believe Ayaan is getting married today and will be a husband from now on...I mean just look at them...they are playing around!

Dilshaad laughed hearing it, "Really?? And even you are still a kid only!!

"Me?? Asad asked, "What did I do??

Dilshaad patted Asad's cheek. "For me, all my babies are still kids and will always be...and I am so happy today Asad. Today I will bring my other daughter-in-law home, and I just can't wait to see my little son getting married today.

"Yeah Ammi...I still remember catching Ayaan's hand and leaving him to school bus in that small uniform... Asad smiled, "Today he is getting married!! And Najma, our Chotti...she is getting engaged...

"Seems like there is a flood of happiness in our lives recently Asad... Dilshaad said walking towards the balcony of the stairs and her face went gloomy, "And it makes me get scared too somewhat!

"Scared?? For what Ammi?

"Like...may this abundant happiness not bring some...you know...they say too much of anything is not good too...I hope nothing happens wrong and... Asad came to Dilshaad and placed his hands over her shoulders.

"Ammi...relax! What will happen to us?? Nothing...we will be forever happy like today...always...nothing can cast an evil eye on...

Just then a glass shattering noise startled Asad and Dilshad.

They saw one of the worker guys having broken the mirror which was kept slanted along the wall.

"Ya Allah!! Dilshaad rushed there along with Asad.

"What is this?? Can't you be careful?? Breaking a mirror on an auspicious day... Dilshaad said with a tensed look, while Asad consoled her, "Ammi...don't worry...mistakes happen...don't take it to sentiments...

Dilshaad left the place, but was still perturbed about it.

***

"Today you look like a perfect Shehzaada, Bhaijaan!!

Zoya said looking at Shehzad in his wedding attire, while he smiled hearing it.

"And I am happy that I marrying today with my little sister next to me... Shehzad said patting Zoya's cheek, "Today our Ammi Abbu will be very happy, Zoya...it's their son's wedding, and he is getting married in front of their daughter!

Zoya hugged Shehzad, while she said, "Hereafter it will be all happiness in our lives Bhaijaan!

Zoya and Shehzad broke from the hug, while Zoya said, "Well, we need to start now...it's getting time...let me check with Humeira and Ammi one more time...

Saying so, she walked out, while Tanveer grabbed her to the side away from everyone.

"Tannu, you scared me!!

"But you surprised me!! Tanveer said with an excited look, "I can't believe you are expecting your second child, Zoe!!

Tanveer jumped in excitement, while Zoya too laughed and silenced her, "Sshhh!!! Talk slowly...no one knows yet!!

"When will you tell Zoya?? Tanveer asked with an impatient look.

"First only my Asad must know...that I will let him know tonight...tomorrow Asad and I will share this good news with everyone...this too I had to tell you because I needed someone to help me keep this a secret... Zoya said with a stare at Tanveer, "Till that don't open your mouth...got it??

"Well...Very difficult... Tanveer said thinking, "Okay...I won't say...but if you delay any more...I will say it!!

"Alright!! Zoya said and left to Humeira's room, while Tanveer smiled happily looking at her.

***

Back in Khan Mansion, it was music and celebrations as the wedding time neared, while Aysha was sitting in her room looking at a photograph.

It was a photo with Saima and Aysha dressed in a similar frock sitting in a swing.

Aysha was teary eyed as she said, "How I wish you were good and you had been the best man at my wedding, Baaji! Why did you do all those...that's why I had to work against you and be a reason to oust you from this home right...

Aysha placed the frame near her chest and said, "I really miss my sister...don't worry Saima Baaji...if you have reformed and want to start a life afresh, I will be the first one to talk to Asad Bhaijaan about it...and I will definitely meet you after my wedding!!

Aysha smiled at the frame and kept it aside, while her phone started ringing. She looked at it with a smile and picked it up.

"What are you doing, Aysha Shehzad Ibrahim?

"There's some more time left for that... Aysha said with a blushing smile.

"But I have already married you from heart...this is just a formality to show the world... Shehzad said with a smile, while the car reached outside their home.

"Alright...see you soon darling...we are starting from here! Shehzad said, while Aysha cut the call with a smile.

***

It was the time for the wedding, and Shireen had come with Shehzad and Humeira along with Tanveer and Mehwish. The Khan family welcomed them.

"Zoya...have you come as my bahu or Humeira, Shehzad's sister?? Rashid asked with a smile, while Asad looked on with Azma in his hand.

Zoya laughed, "If your son gives a special welcome to me, I will think about shifting my place there, dad!

Rashid and everyone laughed hearing it, while Asad said, "Alright then, please come in Madam!!

Everyone laughed over it and Zoya went to Asad and took Azma in her hands giving a peck on her cheek, while the family entered inside. Meanwhile someone moved past the entrance to the other side of the house in an abaya.

***

It was wedding time, and all were gathered at the dias at the centre of the home, while Zoya was standing with Asad with Azma with her.

"Asad, did Azma eat anything after I left? Zoya asked as Azma was in Zoya's arms with her little face buried in Zoya's nape, while Asad said with a smirk, "While eating she becomes perfect miniature of my wife!

"Means?? Zoya asked with a smile, while Asad looked at her, "Run around the entire house and exhaust me equal to a workout!

Zoya laughed hearing it, while she suddenly stopped it, "Wait...what you mean like me?? I exhaust you...really??

"Of course...see after marriage I have shed some kilos too...I even say my friends, my wife is the secret of my fitness, whereas the truth only I know... Asad giggled, while Zoya punched on his stomach with her hand knees with a laugh.

"Well...I have a surprise for you tonight... Zoya said looking away with a smile.

"Surprise??

"Yes...a very huge surprise which you would never expect... Zoya said with a blush, "Wait for it...it will shake you up!

Asad was thinking over it, while Asad's friend, Rahat Khader came to him.

"Salaam Asad Sahab!

"Heyy...Rahat!! How are you ACP?? Asad hugged him, while Rahat hugged him back, and Zoya smiled at Rahat.

"So glad that you came to the wedding man! Asad said with a smile, while Rahat played with Azma's cheeks and said, "I came to see my crush...right Azma baby??

"It's good Ayaan didn't hear it Rahat... Zoya said with a giggle, "He has already asked her hand in marriage to me...

Rahat laughed, while Zoya excused herself from there, as Dilshaad called her.

"Well...you came here for wedding alone or... Asad asked with a smirk, as Rahat looked down with a smile and looked around.

"Don't tell me you still couldn't get a yes from her...

"No man...she is telling me to do something remarkable as a police officer...where do I go and search cases like that and impress her...guess I should set up a criminal and impress her now... Rahat said with a helpless look, while Asad laughed at it.

Zoya came to Asad, "Asad, keep Azma with you for some time...I am looking for a gift.

Asad took Azma in his arms, as he asked her, "Which gift? All gifts were here only yeah?

"Yeah...but suddenly one gift is missing...I will go and look for it...

Zoya moved while Azma held her dupatta and stopped her. Zoya looked at it, and smiled at Azma.

"Azma, I will come now baby! Zoya kissed Azma's cheeks and left the dupatta hold and walked, while Asad turned at Zoya and said, "Come soon!!.

Zoya smiled as she walked towards the room.

***Scroll down for Chapter 49...

Shehzad and Ayaan were sitting opposite Aysha and Humeira at the altar with the veil in between.

Ayaan winked at Humeira, as Humeira too winked back at him and giggled.

"Dilshaad Bi, first Sagaii or Nikaah? asked the Maulwi.

"First, let the wedding take place, then we all can participate for the engagement together. If the other way round, we can't let bride and groom meet each other right.

"Alright...first whose wedding? asked the Maulwi.

"Aysha and Shehzad's!

Ayaan and Humeira said in unison, while Shehzad and Aysha smiled hearing it.

Ayaan and Humeira looked at each other too, while Haseena was elated hearing it. She looked at Razia, who was standing with a tensed look.

"Baaji, I really feel so guilty for blackmailing Ayaan listening to Saima's words. See these two...how much affection they shower on my child...Aysha is really lucky...

Razia was looking around, while Haseena asked her, "Right, Baaji?

Razia didn't hear it as she was looking out, while Haseena shook her and Razia turned at her.

"Yeah?? Yes...tell me...

"What happened Baaji...you seem more tensed than me and Dilshaad Bi...it's our children's wedding... Haseena asked it with a smiling face, while Razia gave a light smile and looked around.

Tanveer and Mehwish were looking at Shehzad and showing him faces, teasing him.

"Next wedding will be yours Mehwi... Tanveer said hitting in her hand with hers.

"No way... Mehwish said adjusting her maang tikka.

"Ohhh...I forgot...you are in love with...

"Shut up Tannu...I don't love Rahat!

"But when did I say Rahat?? Tanveer asked, while Mehwish closed her eyes and bit her tongue.

"You know what...if you don't want him, tell me...I am ready to marry him...just look at him... Tanveer said looking at Rahat opposite them at the men's side, as he was taking glances at Mehwish, "Such a hot charming police officer!!

"Shut up Tannu!! You are so indecent!!

"Waah...indecent?? Tanveer asked while she waved at Rahat, "You don't like him yeah...then get lost...I am going to try my luck!

Rahat smiled and waved at Tanveer and raised his eyebrows and asked Tanveer in gesture, while Tanveer winked at him, and signaled him to wait for some more. Rahat smiled, while the Qazi came at the center.

"The nikkah will begin in some time!

Everyone looked at Shehzad and Aysha happily to hear Qubool Hai from them.

Shehzad looked around for Zoya and called Asad near him. Asad knelt down near him, with little Azma in his hands.

"Where is Zoya, Asad??

"She said she will take some gift and come...she should be here anytime!!

Meanwhile Zoya took the gift packet from the table in Asad's room, and looked at it.

"Strange...I had kept this outside...no idea how it came here... Zoya looked at the feeding bottle lying over there and took it with a smile, "Well...its better I have this...or she will cry throughout the wedding!!

Zoya stopped suddenly as she proceeded towards the door.

"No...this can't be... Zoya whispered with a tensed look.

She turned back slowly and was shocked to find Saima standing at the corner with a devilish smile and in an asylum uniform, revealed lightly behind her abaya.

"Hi!! Saima waved her hand at Zoya with a smile.

"Saima!!! Zoya exclaimed to shout, while Saima covered her face with a cloth.

Zoya tried to move forward and looked at Asad standing outside far away near the wedding altar, through the swaying curtain.

Zoya extended her hand at Asad as tears started filling up her eyes, as she looked at Azma turning towards the room lying on Asad's shoulders. Azma looked at Zoya with her thumb on her mouth.

Azma patted Asad's cheek and Asad looked at her.

"Ammi... Azma said pointing towards the room.

Saima held back Zoya's hand, and Zoya lost her consciousness and fell down, and Asad turned back, just when Saima had moved away from the sight.

Asad looked at the room and smiled at Azma, "Ammi is taking so much time yeah...we will beat Ammi when she comes...okay??

Azma kept looking at the room blinking her eyes.

Zoya was lying down on the floor with the gift and feeding bottle next to her, while Saima bent down and smiled at her, "I am back, my love!!

Saima quickly draped another abaya over Zoya, covered her face and dragged her towards backyard door from their room. She signaled two guys who were dressed like waiters.

"Take her and put her in the car...I will give my wedding gift to my sister and come soon...

The guys took Zoya from there, while Saima walked back inside.

***

"We will start with the nikaah of Shehzad Ibrahim and Aysha Sheikh!! The Maulwi said, while Asad looked back at his room, "Why is Zoya taking this much time??

Shehzad signalled Asad to bring Zoya over there, and Asad went to look for her, handing over Azma to Dilshaad.

Meanwhile Saima was hiding behind the wall next to the door facing the altar. She took out a pistol and pointed it towards Tanveer and tilted it towards Mehwish, Najma and stopped down at Aysha. She looked at her with glaring eyes, as her mind recalled the events.

"...this is that woman who attempted to kill my sister Zoya...she has injured my Bhaijaan in the process and she is a threat to our family...and moreover...she requires psychiatric help...please take her away!!

Saima eyes were filled with tears which were gushing out in vengeance and anger.

Asad on the other hand was perplexed looking at the room in disorder, "Where is...Zoya?? Where did she go???

"Aysha Sheikh, bint Marhoom Ajmal Sheikh, aapka nikaah Shehzad Ibrahim, wald Marhoom Salim Hussain Ibrahim se tay kiya gaya hai. Kya aapko yeh nikaah qubool hai??

Aysha smiled at Shehzad through the veil, who too smiled back at her. Ayaan and Humeira too were happily looking at them, happy at their wish coming true.

"Wish you a painful death my dear sister!!! Saima said gritting her teeth, as her finger touched the trigger.

Aysha smiled and said "Quboo... 2 bullets continuously pierced Aysha's chest and she fell abruptly on the alter startling the entire crowd.

Saima gave a wicked smile and quickly sneaked out hiding her face.

Shehzad screamed "Ayshaaa!!!! Asad rushed there with a tensed look and was disheveled, looking at the entire family gathered around an unconscious Aysha in Shehzad's hands, while she was bleeding profusely from her chest.

The guests started running out in panic, while Asad looked at that sight with a dreaded look and looked back at his room and murmured, "Zoya...??

Haseena was shaking Aysha vigorously, while Shehzad looked at his sherwani almost drenched with Aysha's blood. Shehzad's tears started pouring out uncontrollably.

"No you too can't leave me...no no no...

Shehzad lifted her in his arms and ran out, as the entire family ran behind him.

Rahat quickly called up on his phone.

"Mr. Rathod...Khan Mansion..quick...and send two police offers to the hospital which I mention...

Rahat quickly scanned the area trying to find for clues, and looked at Asad who was standing there motionless.

"Asad...nothing to worry...I will track down who did this...

"Zoya...

"What??

"Zoya...she is...missing!! Asad said with a tensed look with his hands shivering.

"Zoya is missing????

"Where did she...things are scattered there...here Aysha is shot...what is happening...Zoya...Asyha...

Asad clutched his hair and sat down on his knees, while Rahat knelt down near him.

"Asad, relax!! This is something really serious and looks well planned...I will make sure nothing happens to Zoya...trust me...I will help you out...please gather up courage...

Rahat made him stand up and said him, "You go to visit Aysha...I will scan this area and try to find out from people around...go!!

Asad rushed out, while Rahat looked around the Khan Mansion with a tensed look.

***

The whole family was at the hospital outside the ICU, while Asad was in tears looking at Azma crying in Ayaan's arms for Zoya, and looked at a disheveled Shehzad too looking at Aysha through the door.

"I said you...morning itself I had a bad feeling about this day... Dilshaad said in tears, while Rashid comforted her, "Whom should we cry for now, Rashid?? Zoya or Aysha??

"I won't live a minute if something happens to my child, Baaji!! Haseena said in a crying tone, while Razia too had tears listening to it. Haseena said, "Already I lost my child in between because of that Saima...now only we spent some happy days again...I can't bear another separation...already her dad left me early...now my child...

Tears flowed down Shehzad's cheek as he looked inside the ICU, while Imraan knelt down near Haseena.

"Nothing will happen to our Aysha Chotti Ammi...please don't cry...she won't leave us soon... Imraan said as he tried to control his tears.

Ayaan walked to Asad, handing over Azma to Humeira.

"Bhaijaan...any news about Bhaabhi??

Shehzad too turned back and looked at Asad, while Asad shook his head in denial, with a blank face.

"Asad, I am in a fix... Shehzad said as Asad looked at him, "The only two persons dearest in my life are in danger...I am here with Aysha in the belief that you won't let anything happen to my gudiya...

Asad looked at him with tears building in his eyes.

"I don't have the strength to breakdown for both...I really am exhausted... Shehzad said as his voice broke. Asad walked to Shehzad and placed his hand on Shehzad's shoulder, "I won't let anything happen to your sister, or my sister...be strong Shehzad!!

Humeira comforted Azma as she was in tears as well. Najma held Dilshaad's hands and was standing in tears.

Just then Asad got a call. He picked it up, sniffing his nose in a low tone, "Hello...

"Tujhe Yaad Kar Liya Hai...Aayat Ki Tarah...

Asad listened to that whispering feminine voice keenly.

"Kaayam Tu Ho Gaya Hai...Rivayat Ki Tarah...Marne Talak Rahega...Tu Aadat Ki Tarah...!!

Asad took away his phone from his ear and kept it back. He waited for a few seconds and said, "Saima?

Everyone came near him hearing that, and Shehzad rushed near Asad, while Razia gave a perplexed look.

"Waah Jaan!!! Saima said with a wide smile sitting in her rocking chair, "This is what I love about you...you never forget me just like me...muuuahhh!!

Asad moved the phone away from his ear closing his eyes in disgust, while Rahat rushed there and Asad looked at him and gestured the call.

Rahat called up on phone, "Control room...I will send you a number...trace the caller's location...

"Where is Zoya?? Asad asked putting the phone on speaker mode.

"Aahh...forget her...tell me this...how did Shehzad like my wedding gift??

Shehzad glared at the phone, while Saima said, "He was my mehboob yeah...that's why a special gift for him...the thing is I have come back after so much days yeah...so it's a custom I should get a gift and I should return a gift...

Tanveer and Mehwish looked at each other hearing that in confusion, while Saima said, "I gifted two bullets to Aysha...and took your love of life back with me...cool yeah??

The entire family had shocked expressions hearing that, while Razia slanted along the wall in shock hearing that.

"What a dhamakedaar reentry I had, right Asad?? Double dhamaka!!

Asad clutched the phone hard as his hands shivered, while Shehzad screamed, "Saima!!!! If I find you right now, I will murder you that very moment!!!

"Ssshhh...silence Shehzad!! Saima said rocking in her chair, "Well...your situation seems so sad...on one hand your fiance...on the other hand your lovely sister...!!

"Saima, stop all this... Asad said gritting his teeth, "You are doing grave mistakes again and again...don't you dare think I will spare you alive if anything happens to Zoya or Aysha!!

"No issues my love!! Saima said leaning forward from the rocking chair and looking at the bloodshot name "Asad in her wrist, carved out of knife, "What else can be divine other than dying in your lover's hands??

Ayaan was burning in rage, while Saima continued, "And yeah...no use in tracking down my location...I will be changing my location in some time...and this number won't even exist...and if you try to be smart...

Asad listened to it with horrific eyes while Saima laughed and said, "Don't worry...TILL you don't do anything...your Begum will be safe in my hands...if I find you doing something silly, I will send you live telecast of your beloved wife's torture...who knows...I have four more bullets in my pistol...!!

Shireen, Shehzad, Humeira and everyone were startled to hear it. Imraan felt disgusted at his sister's activities.

"So...I will call you later...till then expecting your dearest sister's Bidaai from this world...bye my love!!!

Asad gritted his teeth in anger and screamed, "Saima!!!! He threw his phone in anger.

"Ya Allah...I don't know what this crazy girl is going to do with my daughter!! Shireen cried, as Humeira and Tanveer consoled her.

"Ya Allah...Zoya is pregnant too...!! Tanveer recalled with a horrific look, "Don't know what all torture that psychopath is gonna give her...Allah please save Zoya and her baby...

Tanveer looked at Asad, as she thought, "Should I tell this to Asad Sir or not??

"Bhaijaan, I said that day itself, that I will kill her!! You all stopped me...see...what all crap she has done now!! Ayaan growled in anger, while the doctor came outside and everyone rushed towards him.

"Doctor, how is Aysha?? Shehzad asked with a tensed look.

"Still in critical state...the bullets have ruptured her nerves around the heart...we are trying our level best to rectify it...have faith in Him!

The doctor left, while Haseena continued to cry bitterly hearing that, and Razia was still in shock.

"Asad...Saima has spoken to you whilst travelling and now her sim is showing the last location somewhere in a village area far from Mumbai...she is clever...she has left her sim there itself...

Asad caught his head in tension and walked here and there.

"Saima only has kidnapped Zoya and shot Aysha too...but how did she reach exactly at the wedding??? I don't even know how is my Zoya...and Aysha too is in a critical state here!! Whom should I worry about and save now??" Asad screamed while Rashid came to him and consoled him.

"But tell me this...how does she know about Shehzad being Zoya's brother?? How does she have the up to date details?? And when did she get released from the asylum??" Rashid asked, while everyone was thinking about that.

"That's right dad...how does she know all that??

"Asad...I...I only got her released from the asylum...!!"

Asad looked up at Razia with a violent look, while everyone including a crying Haseena looked up at her. Razia was in tears and looked down, while Asad stood against her with a fuming face.

"You did all this?? Asad asked gritting his teeth.

"No no...!! Not at all Asad!! Razia said with pleading hands, "I released her from asylum, but I have no connection with whatever she did...trust me Asad!! I swear!!

Asad was staring at her, while Rahat came to her, "Listen Ma'am...its better you accept your deeds...police enquiry will be even worse if this family lodges a proper complaint against you and your daughter!!

"You can arrest me for the sin I did to my own family trusting Saima... Razia said in tears, "But I swear in the name of Allah, I have no connection with all this...I will tell you all everything!!

Everyone looked at her while Razia said, "I meet Saima every week at the asylum these 2 years...and I tell her what all is happening in our family...and advise her to reform herself so that she too can live happily like everyone...Zoya's baby shower, Azma's birth, and even this marriage and engagement news I updated her...

Razia confessed in tears, "When she came to know that her sister and brother are entering their next phase of life, she cried to me that she wanted to be a part of it and... Razia looked at Asad, "She even said she wanted to seek apology to you and Zoya, Asad...she cried holding my hands!!

Ayaan turned his face away clutching his temples.

"I couldn't refuse her...I really thought she has changed for good...and thought maybe she too would decide to move on in life like everyone...that's why...that's why I released her from asylum...

"But... Rashid came to Razia, "Asad was the one who admitted her...how did you manage to release her without Asad's awareness??

Razia looked at Asad in fear, hearing that, while Asad raised his eyebrows, "Answer dad's question!!

"I...I came one day to talk to you about it...that time...you and Ayaan were talking with so much hatred about Saima...so...

"So?? Asad asked with a stern look, while Razia was scared to look at Asad that way.

"So, what did you do!!!? Asad shouted, while Rashid asked him to control and Asad looked around at the hospital surroundings, and composed himself. Rahat looked at Razia with folded hands.

"I arranged someone to speak like...like you...and made...that person...to talk to the...asylum in-charge... Razia took a deep breath, "...and made them release Saima!!

Asad gritted his teeth in anger as his angry eyes glistened. Shehzad gave an unbelievable look hearing that.

"Impersonation!! Rahat said with an angry look while Razia looked down, "Do you know I can arrest you for this very same reason, Mrs. Siddiqui???

Razia looked down in tears closing her face, while Haseena turned Razia towards her in anger and asked in tears, "So, you were expecting your devil daughter only since morning?? To come and kill my daughter??

"I made her stay in a hotel and asked her to come to the wedding only Haseena!! Razia said holding her hands, "I never even imagined she used me as a pawn for her revenge...trust me I had no bad intentions!!

Razia turned towards Asad and held his hands, "Asad beta, you can punish me however you want...I deserve all punishments for having believed in Saima's words and being a reason for all this...please forgive me!!

Razia looked at Rahat, "You can arrest me too...hang me to death too...I accept everything!! Razia said breaking down in tears while Asad shrugged his hands off her hold.

"What will happen forgiving you? Asad asked, "Damage is done!! But one thing, if something happens to Aysha or Zoya, I won't spare you and your daughter alive!!! I am serious!!!

Razia fell on her knees breaking down in tears, while Asad walked to Humeira ignoring it. Imraan looked at Razia angrily, while Asad wiped his face and walked to Humeira and took Azma in his hands.

"I am going home... Asad said, "Let not Azma stay in this hospital atmosphere for long...I will try to put her to sleep...call me and keep me updated about Aysha's status...I will make sure Zoya is back soon...you all stay strong...gave faith Asad said with a emotionless face, while Ayaan and Najma understood that their brother was trying hard to hide his pain in front of all.

Rashid looked at Imraan, "Imraan, you kids also leave...we will be with Aysha...

Asad walked off with Azma, while Ayaan looked at Asad in tears and moved aside trying not to show off his pain in front of Najma.

"No Mamujaan, we will be here...you all leave with Haseena Ammi... Imraan looked at Haseena, "Haseena Ammi, please go home...Aysha will be alright...please!!

Imraan and Najma persuaded a hesitant and tired Haseena to go along with Dilshaad, and while leaving Shireen walked to Shehzad.

"Nothing will happen to Aysha beta... Shireen said holding his cheek, while Shehzad looked at her in tears.

"Zoya... Shireen held back her tears, "Zoya too will be alright...our prayers won't go unlistened...call Ammi anytime at night if any emergency...okay?? Ammi will be here the next minute! Humeira will stay here...okay??

Shehzad nodded his head in tears, while Shireen walked away with a sad face, along with Tanveer and Mehwish, while the latter too assured their assistance when required.

Rahat came to Ayaan, "Ayaan, I need to check the CCTV footage at your home...I will track down Saima at any cost...I just want your help...Asad is not...not in a state to think now...I don't want to disturb him...

Ayaan nodded his head, "Sure Rahat, any help I will do...please retrieve my Bhaabhi as soon as possible!!

Rahat nodded his head and left. Humeira sat near Shehzad and rested her head on his hand clutching his arm in tears.

Except Shehzad, Ayaan, Humeira, Najma and Imraan everyone left, and they all were standing around the corridor in their bridal attires looking down in sorrow. Razia was sitting on the floor away from them in tears.

***

Asad reached home with Dilshaad, Rashid and Haseena. Asad handed over Azma to Dilshaad

"Ammi, try to feed her something...I will come in some time...

Without looking at Dilshaad, Asad walked to his room in quick steps, while Rashid and Dilshaad looked at him in tears, and looked at an exhausted teary eyed Azma.

Asad reached his room and shut the door behind and closed the latch. Asad could feel his throat too heavy as he slid down the door down.

Asad looked up at the Digital Photo Frame above their head rest of the bed displaying the photos in slide show with Zoya's photo too in it.

Asad closed his eyes and let down the tears to flood off from his heart.

"Zindagi Ne Zindagi Bhar Gam Diye
Jitne Bhi Mausam Diye Sab Nam Diye

"Zoyaa!!!! Asad cried, "Where are you jaan...how am I going to find you!! Asad cried burying his face in his hands.

"Jab Tadapta Hai Kabhi Apna Koi
Khoon Ke Aansoo Rula De Bebasi

"How long... Asad cried, "How long do I pretend to stay strong...you are in the clutches of a psycho...and...don't know what...what all she's going to...

"Jee Ke Phir Karna Kya Mujhko Aisi Zindagi

"Was this the surprise you were talking about?? Asad cried as he wiped his face and recalled Zoya's words.

"...let me see what you do without me even for a single day...then taunt me...!!

"My sister is battling for her life...you should have been with me to console me now Zoya... Asad said in tears, "Now who will console me regarding you?? Life is being so cruel with me Zoya!!

"Ek Mukammal Kashmakash Hai Zindagi
Usne Humse Ki Kabhi Naa Dosti

"How am I going to console Azma when I myself need...need someone to console me Zoya??

"Jab Mili Mujhko Aasoo Ke Woh Tohphe De Gayi

"It's all my fault...all my fault!! Asad said beating his hands on the floor, "I should have never roped myself into your life...how many hardships you have gone because of me Zoya...I am sorry dear!!! I am sorry...you would have wanted my help when Saima kidnapped you yeah...I am such a horrible husband!!

Asad cried as he leaned back at the door with closed eyes.

"Has Sake Hum Aise Mauke Kam Diye

Zindagi Ne Zindagi Bhar Gam Diye
Jitne Bhi Mausam Diye Sab Nam Diye

***

Water splashed around.

A suffocated Zoya opened her eyes and tried to look through the dripping water through her eyes.

"Rise and shine!!! Saima was sitting opposite her with a wide smile.

Zoya tried to get up, while she realized her hands and legs were tied.

"Wait...I will help you...don't worry!!! Saima made Zoya sit upright, while Zoya shrugged her touch. Saima untied the rope from her hand and legs with a smirk.

"Okay... Saima said and took a plate of food and extended it to her.

"Specially for you...!!

The smell of that food nauseated Zoya, and she stopped herself from throwing up.

"Arre...you behave as if you are pregnant!!

Zoya recalled that truth shockingly and looked at Saima in thoughts.

"No...I should never let her know that I am pregnant...she won't spare my baby in that case...this is my Asad's wish...I will save it any cost...be it I have to endure anything too!!
