A very short O.S based on today's scene and the jealousy of my favorite Zoya.
You are mine, only mine
Zoya sat on the couch opening her facebook account on her ipad. She was tagged in a picture it said. When she opened the link, there sat beautiful pictures of her and Asad's airport engagement scenes. She was so happy to see them and before she could browse through all the pictures, she was interrupted by Najma who was squealing with joy looking at those pictures.
"I so badly wanted to see those pictures and here they are" came the happy reply. Zoya and Najma were having so much fun looking at those pictures when all the happiness turned into hurt when Zoya saw Asad walking Tanveer to the living room. He was holding her, with both hands and her head was resting on his chest. To say Zoya was shocked is an understatement. She was hurt. She was about to cry. She didn't understand why, but her heart said "Mr.Khan is mine, mine only. Has he lost it, hugging her like that? Doesn't he know he is not allowed to hug anyone but me?" her brain and heart were in unison.
Zoya glared at him, and at his hands. She looked away as her tears threatened to make an appearance. "What is wrong with Mr.Khan? He keeps telling me that I am a besharam, I don't have tameez and what is he doing now? Why should he hug Tanveer like that?" She thought. Her brain teased her "Is it okay when he hugs you?" "Of course, he is mine. I am his fiancee" said her heart. "Is it asli or nakli?" asked the brain again. "Of course Asli for me. But he keeps saying Nakli, Ya allah, help me, what should I do?" Zoya's train of thought was interrupted by Najma's happy comments on the pictures.
Asad was wondering what had happened to Zoya. She looked upset. When he followed her eyes, he realized that he was hugging Tanveer. "Not hugging, just holding" he corrected himself in his mind. As if he had got a jolt, he removed his hands from around her and Tanveer moved away from him. He kept on looking at Zoya over and over again to see what is going on in her mind. Not that he understood her and her emotions anyway.
Asad's face became soft, almost romantic when Najma showed him the airport engagement ceremony pictures on facebook. "Ya Allah, they were posted on the internet. Now the whole world knew about their engagement" he was thinking. "Nakli " reminded his brain. "Is it?" asked his heart. He looked at Zoya after Najma read the comments posted by unknown people about how beautiful the couple looked and how much in love they looked. He saw hurt, anger and disappointment. "What is wrong with this girl? Why is she upset? " He couldn't understand.
It was dinner time and everyone sat at the table. Everyone but Zoya. She was busy serving everyone. When Dilshaad asked her to sit and eat, she said "I am not hungry Phupi, I don't want to eat anything" .
Tanveer couldn't keep her mouth shut and said "You must have eaten pizza at the wrong time. Snacking at the wrong time is very unhealthy Zoya". "Tannu, why are you wasting your suggestions on Ms.Farooqui. She doesn't do anything that is good for her anyways." added Asad before he realized what a blunder he had done. If Zoya's stares could burn, Asad Ahmed Khan would've been burnt to ashes that very moment.
Zoya glared at him, thumping the dish she was holding on the table so loudly that everyone was jerked from their train of thoughts. "Oh Really Mr.Khan? How well you have understood me? I don't do anything that is good for me and that is the reason I am marrying you right?" with this she stomped her feet and left the room.
Dilshaad's look were like "Why do you do this to her Asad? Woh bechari ladki". Asad just rubbed his forehead. "What am I getting into with this girl?" he thought.
Late in the night...
Zoya sat on the bench in the garden. She was hurt, angry and was feeling a bit hungry too. There came a steaming mug of coffee to her view and it was none other than Akdu Ahmed Khan holding the mug. "I don't want your coffee Mr.Khan" she turned her face away. "You are sure of that? Okay, I will see if someone else wants it?" Asad was about to turn before the mug was snatched away from his hands and more than half the liquid went down on the grass.
"If I don't want it, you are ready to go look for someone else to have it? What is wrong with you Mr.Khan? Why don't you understand that you are mine and only mine. How dare you offer coffee that you made for me to someone else? Don't you dare ever hug another girl like that. Do you understand? " she gave him an angry look and took a sip of coffee.
Asad was smirking looking at her drink the remaining coffee.
Asad took a step to stand next to her "Ms.Farooqui, you think it will be alright if I hugged you?"
Did you like it?
