'No way Phuppi '
Both Asad and Zoya spoke once again...
Awkward silence ...
'Asad I'm only trying to help u .. Instead of hiring someone from outside u can always hire an insider first ' Dilshad spoke calmly.
'Ammi Miss Farooqui is an outsider itself' Asad spoke making Zoya feel bad once again...
'Even better ... U want an outsider only right?' Dilshad spoke smiling making Asad fall short of words..
'Ammi .. Its not as simple as it looks like' Asad tried to explain...
'Look Asad... Zoya is smart , she's from New York and she even knows how strict u are ' Dilshad rolled her eyes ..
'Ammi but...' Asad was cut off by Zoya
'Its okay phuppi... Not like I'm dying to work wid Mr Khan ... Even though I have a management degree .. But I'm sure Mr Khan needs a puppet not a human' she spoke in a low voice and walked off to her room..
Dilshad glared at Asad ...
'Rest is ur wish Asad ... ' And wid tht she walked off too..
Leaving a poor Asad in a dilemma...
'Miss Farooqui did wonders at my place in just 1 day ... If I take her to office ... ' Asad thought
'No no !! Not in my office' he decided and went to his room...
X------------------------X----------------------X
Asad was leaving for office ...
' U sure Asad ?' Dilshad asked
'Sure about what Ammi?'
'Zoya !!!'
Asad scratched his temple 'yeah I'm sure I don't want a mess in my office' as he spoke , he saw Zoya standing behind Dilshad ...
She heard him call her a 'Mess'
'Enough is enough ! He can't always call me whatever he feels like .. Arrogant man...' she thought and turned to walk away..
Asad left too ... Still in confusion... For now he was only hoping he has some good candidates for selection...
Asad had interviewd 15 girls and 6 guys by now ... But none were even close to his expectations... They were either blonde , gay , or plainly stupid..
Exasperated , he fell back on his chair .. Covering his eyes wid his palms...
'Not even a single good candidate ... Where has all the smartness vanished ???' He thought irritated
Suddenly he had a flashback of Zoya's words ...
'Not like I'm dying to work wid Mr Khan ... Even though I have a management degree .. But I'm sure Mr Khan needs a puppet not a human'
He opened his eyes ...
'Not again' he spoke horrified ...
And well yes once again , Mr Khan was forced to do something he never thought he would ...
The rest of the day went by widout too much hustle bustle ...
Zoya spent some precious time wid Dilshad , telling her about New York , her friends and how much she missed her Ammi Abbu and Appi...
Zoya found a friend cum Ammi in Dilshad ... What all she couldn't share wid her Ammi , thinkin she has her whole life to do it ... She shared wid Dilshad ... And Dilshad was loving Zoya .. She found another daughter in her ... Zoya was calm and mature at the same time very sensitive ... Perhaps fate made her like tht ...
In the evening Asad came back...
'salaam Ammi' he spoke in a low tone loosing his tie..
'Walekum Salaam beta .. Did u select a new secretary??' Dilshad asked while chopping off some vegetables ..
Asad was highly annoyed and embarrased at the same time... He didn't answer anything..
'Asad ??? I'm askin something' Dilshad spoke ..
'Ummm... No Ammi' he spoke softly
Dilshad couldn't help but smile...making Asad feel like an idiot .. She was his mother ,she def knew What's right for his son..
'Well ... Zoya is in her room...' She spoke as she caught Asad scanning the room wid the corner of his eyes ..
'I'm not looking for her ' he replied sternly..
'Arre ... But ur secretary's job is looking for her .. Go now .. Till I prepare some dinner' Dilshad spoke nodding her head at her slow son..
Asad nodded approvingly and went upstairs .. Trying to get ready for another big task..
He knocked Zoya's door ... But no reply..
He knocked
Twice
Thrice
No reply
Now his patience were really gettin over !! He was tired and annoyed ... He just wanted to get done wid the secretary thing so tht he could go back to his room and take a hot shower ...
He unclutched the door , slowly opening it .. First he peaked inside , and couldn't see Zoya...
Then he entered her room...
'Miss Farooqui??' He spoke softly as though findin some pet ...
No reply ...
'Fine ! Whatever now' he spoke ready to go back ..
When he heard the washroom door unclutching...
'Miss Farooqui I was knocking since...' He turned back to face her
But he stood there wid his jaw dropped to the floor...
Zoya was standing there in her pink bathrobe ... Her hair completely damped in water ... She looked plain simple beautiful...
While Asad was in awe of Zoya , Zoya was completely flushed seeing him..
'Allah miyan Mr Khan !! U should have atleast knocked ' she spoke clutching to robe...
Asad came back to reality ... And so did his anger ...
'Shutup Miss Farooqui !!!' He snapped at her..
'I was knockin since past 15 minutes , while u were busy taking a shower .. Who bathes forr so long ????' He asked widout even thinking
While Zoya's eyes narrowed.. As she walked up to him wid her mouth shaped in a :O
'Excuse me ??? Why do u care for how long I bathe ??' She asked raising her eyebrows..
And Asad was caught in his own trap..
But he was Asad Ahmed Khan , how could he let a girl win over him??
'Becoz its my house ur living in , and I pay for that water u overuse ' he spoke leaving Zoya stunned ...
'I hate this man' she spoke under her breath..
Asad turned around to leave once again ... While Zoya followed so tht she could bang the door behind him..
Just when he was about to reach the door , it occurred to him tht he was here for a reason which he hadn't coveyed yet..
As he turned around , he bumped into Zoya who tripped and fell on the sofa kept at a little distance from the door on the right while he fell next to her closely...
Caught in an awkward position Zoya tried to get up , only to be pulled back onto Asad's lap as her hair were stuck in his buttons..
'Ouch!!!!' She yelled ..
Due to their closeness it took few seconds for asad to notice tht her hair were stuck ..and soon he started working on it trying hard to keep his calm...but it was difficult wid her sitting on his lap , and the distance between them was just decreasing as Asad tried to unclasp her hair .. Zoya's lips were just an inch apart from Asad's cheeks ... While Asad's hot breath kept fanning on Zoya's neck as he tried harder to remove her hair widout causing her any pain...he wanted to get over wid it as soon as possible..
But, the closer he got to Zoya , it became even more difficult for him to concentrate on her hair .. He could still notice a few droplets of water glistening on her tender neck .. And she smelled heavenly ...all due to her fresh shower .. Asad couldn't deny the fact tht no matter how annoying she was , her beauty was way beyond perfect .. And what affected him the most was , she shuddered under his touch..
Asad didn't even realise when he started nearing her , in his trance ...
Zoya's breathing became heavy .. Every girl has secret desires , to be wid a man who can do wonders to her .. Even though Mr Khan wasn't even close to what she wanted in her man , his simple touch gave her weirdest of sensations and the sad part was , she liked them..
Zoya's grip tightened on her robe , as Asad's lips started inching near her neck.. He didn't understand what made him do tht , maybe he was under some spell , but he knew he just couldn't tolerate those droplets glistening on her skin anymore ..
Asad's lips softly brushed her neck , As Zoya's eyes shut tight .. She felt a current jolt In her entire body ..
Just when they heard
'Asad , Zoya !!! Dinner is ready ' Dilshad spoke aloud ..
And the both immediately jerked apart ... Zoya instantly stood up and turned back on Asad ...
Asad was baffled , it took a minute for him to realise , what was happening , what was he doing ...
And when he realised , he could sink in tht sofa right then..
But he quickly got up and left the room .. While Zoya turned back and shut her door .. Her eyes closed already ... She took a more than usual deeep breath..
'Zoya have u lost it ??? Tht man is Rude and Arrogant .. Not even close to what u want in ur Mr Right ' she spoke in her head...
But then , she touched her neck , exctly at the point where she felt Asad's lips .. And her whole body had goosebumps .. She could feel them...
Her face frowned and teared ..
'Allah Miyan !! What is happening to me is certainly not good ' she sighed ..
Asad barged open his room's door .. And threw his tie on the bed ... He went to the washroom .. And stood beneath the shower .. Hot water running down his body , soaking his clothes .. He just wanted some relief first , before he could understand what he was doing...
After a few minutes of hot shower , he felt better ... He got rid of his clothes .. While he stood in the shower .. Recollecting memories of what happened ...
He shut his eyes in fear ... Fear of what was happening to him.. Fear of how easily his desires were uprooting infront of Zoya..
It had been just 3 days .. Since he had met her .. But there was something strange tht was pulling him towards her .. He sensed it on their first meeting only .. And thts why he decided to stay away from her .. Thts why he decided to remind himself tht she was just a stranger , and strangers aren't meant to be close to ...
But then why ? Why did he lose his control ??? He banged his fist on the tiles of the washroom...
Asad knew it wasn't love at all and for tht matter not even close to liking ... But he definitely knew he possessed certain desires for this girl .. Maybe becoz her behaviour towards him intrigued him... Maybe becoz he failed at dominating her and wanted her to be dominated by him like every other woman he was ever with..
Both Asad and Zoya changed... And went for dinner ..
Dinner was silent , more silent than everyday ... There was a tension btw Asad and Zoya and they both knew abt it ...
'So Asad u spoke to Zoya ?' Dilshad asked making them quiver ..
'Ji ammi ... What ?' Asad asked trying to make sense.
'Ur secretary Asad' Dilshad widened her eyes ..
'Oh yes yes ! ' Asad spoke remembering this 'secretary' thing was the culprit for whatever happened ..
Asad cleared his throat ...
'Miss Farooqui' he spoke sternly ..
Zoya jolted up ... His face expressing a cold vibe again..
'Do u mind taking the job of my secretary?'
'NOOO !!!!!!!' Zoya's mind screamed ...
She looked at Dilshad who was smiling expectantly ... And Zoya knew she could never break her heart...
'Yes' she spoke staring aimlessly at her food...
'Great ! So from tomorrow u both will be going to office together ...' Dilshad smiled ..
'Allah bacha lena' Zoya whispered ..
'This is going to be hell' Asad whispered ..
That night both Asad and Zoya couldn't sleep ...
Firstly what happened wid them in the evening and secondly what will happen in future considering the fact tht they both will get double doses of each other daily now !!
