A sweet beginning ~ AsYa OS

'Jaane kyun log pyaar karte hai…..hmm…..mmm, jaane kyun woh kisi pe marte hain! Jaane kyunnn…..jaane kyun! Hmmm ….mmmhmmm….' Zoya stood humming near the kitchen platform. This song has topped her list of favorites ever since she heard Mr.Khan humming it, "amidst thousands of soap bubbles", "In the bath tub", "sporting that killer wet look"…..Well, anyway!

She wasn't the best of the cooks, but yes she did manage to impress her Mr.Khan with her unique cooking & of course her antics. Today was a special day for the Khans, so how can Zoya miss this opportunity to add to the joys, after all she was 'Ms. Zoya Farooqui'…ah, correction 'Mrs. Zoya Asad Ahmad Khan!

It was 8 a.m. & Zoya was over zealous today; after all it was her one & only Devar's Walima. Assuming that everyone was still asleep after yesterday's hectic yet awesome wedding function, Zoya sneaked into the kitchen. She wanted to make a special Kheer for the family, as a….you know 'sweet beginning of a sweet day'!

Well, anyhow…..Zoya stood there making the Kheer when a pair of strong yet gentle arms slid around her waist, startling her.

'Ah, Mr.Khan…aap bhi na! Dara hi dia mujhe.' Zoya remarked at Mr.Khan's sudden gesture.

'Oh, toh Zoya ko darr bhi lagta hai?' Mr.Khan retorted sarcastically, resting his chin on Zoya's shoulder.

'Well, nahi! Waise toh main kaafi fearless hoon, par kya hai naa….Kuch kuch logon ki presence mujhe thoda surprise kar deti hai!'Zoya said.

'Kuch log….? Jaise ki.'Mr.Khan asked.

'Jaise ki, Dhoni ki presence in the hospital, Salman Khan ki presence in our house, waise hi aapki presence in the Kitchen aur who bhi, jab main kuch special bana rahi hoon!' Zoya remarked amusingly.

'Well, strange! Anyway, aap kya special bana rahi hai?'Mr.Khan asked looking into the cooking pot over her shoulder.

'Main sab ke liye Kheer bana rahi thi, sab kalke function ke baad bohot tired hongena. Aur waise bhi Kheer sab ki favorite hai, so you know it will act as a mood lifting ingredient.' Zoya explained happily.

'Great, aur sabka 'Mood lift' karne ke baad aap kya karengi?'Mr.Khan asked.

Zoya turned around to face him; she looked at him with her big joyful eyes with a huge smile playing on her lips. 'You know Mr.Khan, after breakfast & Kheer, saare guests' aayenge, for Humeira's Muh-Dikhayi ki rasam. So in that I'm going to perform a small dance with Phuppi & Ayaan. You know Mr.Khan, jis song pe hum perform karne waale haina, it's one of my favorite songs, it's so energetic ki sab ke kadam thirakne lagenge, aapke bhi!' Zoya said winking at her confused husband.

'Allah miyan, what's wrong with this girl! She is still such a child…..!' Asad pulling her in a back hug.

Zoya chuckled at this & started moving the spoon in the almost ready Kheer's pot. They stood there for a like couple of seconds, observing the silence Zoya finally thought to break it. 'Kya hua Mr.Khan?Aap suddenly chup kyun hogaye?'Zoya asked curiously.

Not getting an answer she turned around to look at him, 'Kya soonch rahe hai Mr.Khan?' She asked, now tensed.

He came closer & looked into her eyes & said, 'Dr. Lata called, a couple of minutes before….' He said & Zoya's breathing came to a halt, waiting for Asad to continue.

'Bataye naa….. Mr.Khan, Soonch kya rahe hai?' She said, her heart was pounding against her chest & her breath was stuck in her throat, if Mr.Khan wouldn't have spoken for a second more she would have fainted for sure!

'Boliye naa….?' Zoya said clutching his collar.

He slid his hand around her waist pulling her closer, looking deep in her eyes he said, 'Soonch raha hoon, teen-teen bachcho ko kaise sambhalonga!'

'Teen bachche? Kaun Mr.Khan?' Zoya asked totally confused. 'Teen matlab, ek aap aur do humare angels!' he said placing a loving hand on her belly!

'She looked down at her belly, then at him & then she clutched his collar with both hands & shaking him she said, 'Mr.Khan….You are sooo bad!!!!' With that he pulled her into a deep hug, the gentlest & the most loving one. She buried her head in his strong chest & smiled. 'I love you Mr.Khan.' she mumbled against his chest, Asad returned the favor by hugging her tighter & kissing her hair, 'I love you more….' He said.

'We love you MOST!!!!...' Phuppi, Ayaan, Humeira, Najma & Rashid shouted at the top of their voices, startling them. They quickly pulled apart & looked away to avoid the embarrassment. Phuppi came to Zoya & hugged her, 'Allah, I just cannot believe it. Main Dadi ban ne waali hoon wo bhi twins ki!' Phuppi said. Najma & Humeira hugged Zoya congratulating her.

'Kya baat hai Bhaijaan, Mubarak ho! Masha Allah, main ek saath do-do bachcho ka Chachu ban ne waala hoon!' Ayaan said hugging Asad.

'Aur main Chachi!' Humeira said.

'Aur main Dadajaan…' Rashid said.

'Aur main…'? Najma asked cutely, confused!

'Tamatar Phuppi…..!' Everyone said in unison & burst out laughing.

oOo

And they are living happily…..ever after!
