SS Moments of Love - Epilogue p.51(28/6) - Page 3

Hello again :)

SO, I've decided to continue with this story... I'm not sure if it's a TS, SS or FF yet. If I can give it a closure, then I shall. But If I can't then I'll continue.

However in this story, there is no gudiya factory or any of the siddiqui drama. It's just Asad, Zoya, Dilshaad, Najma, Aapi Jiju and Tanveer. Dilshaad's husband cheated her, and then died. She has a male friend who is also a widower. And the rest I shall build :)

Part 2:

How can I tell you Zoya, I trust you and I know Tanveer is wrong, but we have no proof against her! I know she's trying to hurt you, which is why I keep telling you to stay away from her, but you never listen to me. I could just ask her to leave, but then I would never know what she does to harm you. As long as she's in this house, I am aware of all the things going on. I can protect you. And when I do have proof, I will make sure she gets punished for it. I don't want to act on my impulses because she's pregnant and what's worse is that if she finds out that I know the truth, her ways of hurting you will not be subtle anymore. Ultimately, you'll be hurt Zoya, and I cannot let that happen.

As the night went by Asad thought about this sticky situation and how would he come out of it. Thinking, thinking, time flew and he fell asleep. Zoya on the other hand, had her brainstorming hat on, she was trying to psychoanalyze this man, but with time she too fell asleep.

x-x-x

Next morning at breakfast everyone was present and Zoya was late. As she entered everyone's eyes fell on her palms, they were bandaged since last night.

"Zoya, what happened?" asked her aapi

"Oh, nothing! You know how they say if you give the palms some heat, the mehendi will come darker" and they all started laughing except Asad, he knew the truth, he did the first aid after all.

"You're so silly Zoya, a bandage? For heat!" her aapi laughed a bit more "the colour is meant to come naturally! It signifies Asad's love for you… what has this bandage got to do with it?" everyone else got a grip on their laugh, but when they saw Asad and Zoya blush they started teasing them.

"Don't worry Zoya bhabhi, Bhaijaan's love is very strong, I'm sure the colour is very dark" with this she got up to remove the bandage, while Zoya put her palms behind.

"Let us see the colour bhabhi, why are you blushing so much" that comment literally doubled the flush on her face. Najma forcefully pulled her hand to the front and removed those bandages and saw two burnt palms.

"Yeh kaise hua, Zoya? Mehendi toh maine milayi thi and nobody else got their hands burnt" Dilshaad was shocked.

"I have no idea phuphi how it happened" she exchanged a glance with Mr. Khan to see if he would say anything and then she gave a stern look to Tanveer. The look that said, 'I'm waiting for you to build up so many mistakes that nobody has any respect left for you… when I expose you'.

"Any way, we'll take you to the doctor to make sure it doesn't catch any infection" Dilshaad added. She saw the glances that Zoya and Asad exchanged, she knew both of them knew what happened, but maybe it wasn't the right place to reveal it. And then she saw Tanveer's sly smile. She wondered what was going on.

Dilshaad always had this fear about Tanveer. Although her son was not like his father, he wouldn't cheat or leave his future wife, but there was something about Tanveer. The way that girl manipulated people, she was worried her son too would become like his father. While he would love his wife, he would also not trust her. But she kept positive, because she knew her son well… so what if Tanveer was like that – it was a good test for his son. But if he failed, she rather he failed before he got married to Zoya.

"Actually, Asad take Zoya to the doctor… we have a lot of work to be done" Dilshaad thought this way they would get some moments alone to themselves.

Once they were done with breakfast, they headed off for the doctor. Asad was sure Zoya would not be quiet for even 2 minutes, but he was wrong. It had been 5 minutes into the ride and she had not said a word.

"Ms. Farooqui, are you ok?"

"Yes, Mr. Khan… May I turn on the radio" She didn't want to talk to him. He needed the cold shoulder, at least that's what she thought.

Asad knew the radio was an excuse for her to not talk to him. And he knew the reason very well.

"It's about Tanveer, isn't it?"

"If you know, why ask me?"

"Ms. Farooqui… jealous?"

"You wish Mr. Khan" the anger in her tone was subtle like a gun. She could eat him up any minute. He decided to be silent.

"Mr. Khan, I don't want to marry you" And he hit the brakes with all his might!

WHAT? WHY? She doesn't want to marry me? What's wrong with this girl, I thought she loved me! Wait no, she may love me but she thinks this nikaah is a sham… maybe that's why! I have to confess my love to her.

I'm sorry for the cliffy, but it's kinda exciting that way :)
