PART 2
Shireen was feeling very low and upset. She wanted to hug her son Asad but she could not digest the hatred in his eyes.. Her thoughts went back to the past ...
Rashid Ahmed Khan, Shireen Siddique and Dilshad were all studying in the same college and all the 3 were best friends. They were doing a course in civil engineering... Rashid and Shireen had fallen in love with each other and had got married without informing anybody..
Rashid an orphan had lost his parents in an accident and his relatives had left him in an orphanage... He had studied hard with the help of scholarships and he wanted to make a successful life... Gaffur Siddique a very famous criminal lawyer in Bhopal and his wife Razia Siddique had taken care of Gaffur's sister Shireen as their own daughter since they did not have any children... Shireen had gone against her brother and without his knowledge had got married to Rashid...
Life was good initially ... Within a span of 9 Yrs, they had 3 children Ayaan, the eldest one followed by Asad and the youngest one Najma.. Both the brothers loved their sister a lot and it was a happy family.. However it was becoming financially difficult to meet the demands of the growing family with a single earning member... Shireen could not take up any job since she had lot of back logs and now with a growing family, she could not think of completing her studies as well...
It was approaching Najma's 3rd birthday and Shireen wanted to celebrate it grandly and she had forced her husband for the same but unfortunately Rashid could not arrange money and he had also got fed up with the increased quarrels between them due to financial reasons... Shireen had taken a hasty decision and had taken all her 3 children and returned back to her brother Gaffur on Najma's birthday...
Rashid had tried hard to make her understand but Gaffur and Razia had poised Shireen's mind that Rashid and Dilshad were having an affair as both were working in the same office.. Finally Shireen had divorced Rashid and Gaffur had fought for the custody of all the children but luckily Rashid had got the custody of Asad ...
As a good friend of Rashid, Dilshad had taken care of Asad but as days passed by , Rashid had realized that Dilshad loved him .. Dilshad was a very calm and composed woman.. She had also fallen in love with Rashid during their college days but after she had come to know that Rashid and Shireen loved each other, she had maintained a friendly bond with both of them and she wanted to move on... but she had landed up in the same office where Rashid was working and during the divorce case of Rashid, her name was also unnecessarily pulled ... Rashid did not want her to go through any pain and slowly looking at her sweet nature, he had also fallen in love with Dilshad and they had got married... Dilshad took care of Asad as her own son and she had decided not to have any children of her own .. She did not want her bond with Asad to be disturbed.. and also she did not want her son to go through any further pain...Rashid had devoted his time in earning money and by God's grace over the coming years, he was able to establish a huge and successful construction company " Dilshad Constructions"
Back to the present...
Zoya could not see the tears in Shireen's eyes... She was too attached to Shireen..
Zoya's thoughts : " Yeh Asad apne aapko kya samaj the hain.. main abhi jake milthi hoon unse... "
Zoya : Ammi aap teek hain na.. Aap please math royiye...
Shireen : Zoya beta.. mein teek hoon... aap chaliye.. Razia babhi ko bulayiye...
Zoya : Ji...
Zoya Siddique is the adopted daughter of Gaffur Siddique and Razia Siddique.. Razia never wanted to adopt Zoya as their daughter but Gaffur had insisted that they should.. Razia wanted to adopt her sister's daughter Humeira instead but she had to finally agree to Gaffur since he had been very adamant on this decision much to her surprise...This was after Shireen's divorce with Rashid.. Zoya was an year younger to Najma.. Gaffur loves his daughter a lot but Razia was always far away from her and she treated Zoya like an unwanted person in the house.. Shireen had taken care of Zoya along with Najma and due to this love, Zoya had started addressing Shireen as ammi...
Zoya came out of Shireen's room.. and she saw that Ayaan and Humeira were waiting for her...
Zoya : Humeira.. ammi teek hain.. woh apki khala se milna chathi hain.. Kya unhe bula sakti ho please...
Humeira : Teek hain Zoya... Chaliye Ayaan..
Humeira loves Ayaan since her childhood but she was always uncomfortable with leaving Ayaan and Zoya alone.. She could sense the affection Ayaan had towards Zoya in his eyes.. He would mellow down whenever he was near Zoya...
Ayaan , Najma and Zoya were in the same house and they were best of buddies and had lot of secrets to share with each other but as they grew up Razia would get Humeira quite often and she had declared it to everybody that she wanted Ayaan and Humeira to get married because she was Gaffur would get Zoya married to Ayaan...
Ayaan is also a lawyer like his mamu and he had also made a name for himself as a good lawyer like his mamu... Najma had completed her bachelor degree in arts and she was working as a freelance Journalist... Zoya much against her abbu's wishes had chosen to take up engineering in Architecture.. She is now in the final year of her engineering...Humeira is a house wife and she would spend most of her time either with Razia or with her friends outside ...
Zoya : Ayaan.. kya tumhe malum hain.. Asad kahan pe rukhe hain ??
Ayaan : Nahin.. kyun ??
Zoya : Bus aise hi...
Ayaan : Zoya.. mein janta hoon ki tumhe ammi ki phikr hain.. lekin muje bina bataye.. tum kahin nahin ja rahi ho.. aur kisi se bhi baat nahin karogi...
Zoya : Ayaan.. jao.. Humeira tumhe bualrahi hain.. Warna phir se ghar mein toofan khada hojayega...
Ayaan hesitantly and slowly pulled his legs and went towards his room to join Humeira..
Zoya was thinking on how to trace out Asad... She is after all the daughter of a famous criminal lawyer so she knew she would find a way to reach him...
It was forbidden to speak about Rashid and Asad in Siddique Mansion...but the only person who always spoke about them and reminded was ZOYA.. Gaffur was very strict with everybody even with his sister and her children.. but he always had a soft corner to ZOYA and he would given in to her demands.. She was a rebel at home... As she grew up, she had developed a very soft corner for Asad and Rashid and she was very curious to see Asad and meet him.. She had infact shifted to his room in SM which was empty after Rashid had taken away Asad.. She loved all his toys and books...She admired them and she had saved all his snaps in the drawer.. Now that she knew Asad was coming down to Bhopal to attend Najma's wedding.. the most happiest person was Zoya.. She however did not know how he would be now nor she knew how he would react on seeing his family after such a long time...so she had instructed one of the servants to keep an eye on Asad whenever he would come home...
Asad's Hotel
Asad was upset.. : Muje yahan ana hi nahin chahiye tha.. lekin Najma.. use mile bagair mein kaise ja saktha hoon ?? Nikaah kal hain..
As he was lost in his thoughts, he heard a knock on his door...
Asad opened the door and was surprised to find Zoya over there...
Asad :Aap yahan kya kar rahi hain ??
Zoya : Allah miya.. what's wrong with you Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan.. ?? Main yahan hoon to samaj ne wali baat hain ki main apse milne ayi hoon...
Asad : Aap mujse milna kyun chayegi ??
Zoya gave her dimpled smile.. : Apko patha hi nahin.. ek ladki se kaise baat karna chahiye.. Muje andar ana nahin denge ?? Agar apko dikkat hain to chaliye neeche restaurant me chalthe hain...
Asad : Lekin muje apse koi baat nahin karni hain...
Zoya : Lekin muje apse karni hain.. and mind you... main bahut hi ziddi hoon..
Asad looked at her and he could see the determined look on her face... : Chaliye neeche wait kijiye main bus do minute main atha hoon...
Zoya : Nahin.. agar phir se ghayab hojayenge to.. main apke saath hi chaloongi...
A smile spread across Asad's face... He loved to see her innocent face and the way she was adamant and not allowing him to spare any time for himself... : Ji chaliye...
Both of them walked down to the restaurant...Zoya chose a table near the aquarium and sat down.. Asad had to sit down along with her...
Asad : Batayiye.. kya baat karna chathi hain ??
Zoya : Mr. Khan.. aap kabhi kisi ladki ko bahar leke nahin gaye hain kya ??
Asad got angry : Aap se matlab...??
Zoya : Arre.. aap hamesha gussa apne saath rakthe hain kya ?? phele juice, coffee.. kuch to order kijiye...
Asad : Zaroori nahin samjatha hoon.. baat kijiye.. warna mein chaltha hoon...
Zoya : aap nahin jayenge.. apko order nahin karna.. to koi baat nahin main kardeti hoon...and she called the waiter...
Zoya : Mereliye ek cold coffee.. aur apko Mr. Khan...
Asad : Mereliye ek black coffee without sugar...
After the waiter went away..
Zoya : Yeh kya taste hain apka ??
Asad : Dekhiye...
Zoya : Dekhto rahi hoon Mr. Khan !!
Asad kept quiet.. He understood that Zoya was a very mischievous girl and so he had to patiently wait till she told the reason why she had come in search of him...
After the waiter placed their order and went away, Zoya grabbed the black coffee first surprising Asad... She added 2 spoons of sugar before passing it to him...and she quietly took her cup of cold coffee...
Asad hesitated initially but he slowly started drinking his coffee.. Nobody had the guts to behave so till date with him... but he did not know why.. he did not feel like shouting at her and for a change he enjoyed his coffee...
Zoya : Accha laga na apko.. ??
Asad : Ji...
Zoya : To Thank you to boliye..
Asad : Ayaan apko kaise bardash kartha hain ??
Zoya : Ayaan kyun ??
Asad : Aap Ayaan ki biwi hain na ??
Zoya : Ji nahin.. Ayaan ki biwi ka naam Humeira hain... Mein apke barein mein aur yahan apki ammi aur bhai ke barein mein sabkuch janti hoon.. Aap yahan kyun aye hain yeh bhi janti hoon...Aap kisi se baat kiye bagair aise hi wapis agaye.. ammi bahut ro rahin thi... Apki narazgi apni jagah teek hain.. lekin Mr. Khan.. maaf karnewala sabse bada hotha hain.. aur muje yakeen hain ki aap kal subhah hi ayenge aur shaam ko Najma ke nikaah mein shamil honge... Aap ayenge na ?? Najma apka bahut intezaar kar rahi hain...
Asad was just staring away at her... His thoughts : Agar yeh Ayaan ki biwi hain nahin to.. yeh hain kaun ??
As he was lost in his thoughts, Zoya picked up his phone which was on the table and keyed in her number and saved it.. She gave a miss call from his phone to her number and saved it in her phone...
Asad : Aap yeh kya kar rahin hain ??
Zoya smiled : Ji muje malum hain ki aap Ammi ya Ayaan ko phone nahin karegne.. lekin agar apko kuch chahiye to muje phone karsaktein hain.. main kal subah apka intezaar karoongi.. allah hafiz...aur haan.. coffee keliye Thank you !!
Asad sat wondering about Zoya and he decided that he had to go there and also find out who she is...
The Next Day , Siddique Mansion around noon ...
The whole house was decorated with flowers and lighting.. Everybody were busy running around in preparation of Najma's nikaah...However, Zoya's eyes was always towards the door...
Ayaan : Zoya.. yeh baar baar darwaz pe kya dekh rahi ho ??
Zoya : Kisi kaas ka intezaar !!
Najma : Zoya.. not fair.. Aaj to mera khaas din hain.. tum apne boy friend ka wait kar rahi ho kya ??
Before Zoya could reply back...
Ayaan : Zoya.. yeh kya hain.. tumhara koi boy friend hain kya ?? Aur kal shaam tum kahan gayi thi ??
Zoya : Ayaan.. mera boyfriend hain.. to ?? and she got angry with him and walked away ...
Najma : Bhaijaan.. agar aap Zoya se itna pyaar kartein hain.. to apne Humeira se nikaah kyun ki..?? Agar Zoya ki life mein koi aur hain.. to apko koi phark nahin panda chahiye...
Ayaan : Najma.. mein samaj hi nahin paya apne pyar ko.. aur jab patha chala tab bahut dher hochuki thi...
Najma : Bhaijaan.. sab samajsakti hoon.. lekiin...aap jante hain na Humeira babhi ko... Woh hamesha shak karti hain.. .. aap please Zoya se todha door hi rahiye...Mumani ko bhi pasand nahin hoga agar unhe apki feelings ke barein me patha chalega to...aur phir se Zoya ko kisi tarah pareshan karegi...
As the conversations between the brother-sister was going on, Asad walked in... He was dressed in a formal grey suit and white shirt with tie...They could not recognize who it was but saw an excited Zoya running towards him...
Zoya : Salaam Walikum Mr. Khan.. Ayiye.. and she got him to Najma...Najma.. batao yeh kaun hain ??
Najma : Zoya.. yeh hain tumhare boy friend.. jinka itni dheer se intezar kar rahi thi...
Zoya : Allah miya.. what's wrong with you Najma.. Yeh to sahi hai ki main inka intezar kar rahi hi thi.. Yeh hain Asad Ahmed Khan.. tumhare bhaijaan...
Najma immediately got up.. .There was tears of joy .. and she hugged her brother...
Najma : Bhaijaan.. aap agaye.. I am so happy...
Asad also got emotional... and he hugged back Najma... and he took out a small gift wrapped box from his pocket : Najma.. nikaah Mubarak ho.. yeh lo...tumhare liye..
Najma excitedly opened it and she found a beautiful gold chain.. She immediately wore it around her neck.. : Thank you Bhaijaan... !!
Zoya : Mr. Khan.. inse miliye.. yeh hain.. Ayaan Ahmed Khan...
Both the brothers shook hands with each other... Even though Ayaan wanted to hug his brother like how Najma did, he was not able to...Shireen also came over there.. she was happy to see all her 3 children together...
Zoya : Ammi ayiye.. aap Najma ke paas khade hojayiye.. and she took out her cell phone and took a family snap... She called out for Humeira and after introducing her also to Asad , she took few more snaps...
Humeira was happy to see that Zoya was not near Ayaan.. However Ayaan was getting very angry and uncomfortable looking at Zoya running around Asad...Gaffur and Razia were busy receiving the guests... There was lot of ceremonies going on and so they did not notice Zoya running around Asad...
Asad was feeling out of place.. Najma was pulled over to carry out some ceremonies.. Ayaan was with Humeira ..
Zoya came and sat next to him... : Mr.. Khan.. aap bore ho rahein hain na.. chaliye mere saath...
Asad : Nahin..
Zoya : Please Mr. Khan..
By that time a child who was running around with a juice glass spilled the juice on Asad's hands... making him angry...
Zoya : Chaliye Mr. Khan.. ab to apko chalna hi padega.. aur yeh kaise dress pehn kar agaye hain.. aaj apki behen ki nikaah hain.. aur aap aise lag rahein hain jaise kisi meeting attend karnekliey aye hain...
Asad : Mein hamesha aise hi kapde pehan tha hoon...Mein hotel jake change karke atha hoon...
Zoya : Chaliye.. batati hoon.. and she took him to her room or his childhood room... She handed over a towel and also a new set of white sherwani and told him to change and that she will be waiting for him outside only...
Asad looked around the room.. It was the same as he had left it in his childhood.. His snaps as a child were still on the walls... But yes there was lot of girl stuff on the dressing table and also Zoya's snap on the dressing table.. : "To yeh apka kamra hain ab.. lekin aap hain kaun ??" He freshened up and changed to the sherwani which Zoya had given and he was happy to look at himself in the mirror...He also saw lot of books on the bed including architecture engineering books
Zoya knocked the door : Mr. Khan.. hogaya kya ?? Main andar ajaoon ??
Asad : Ji...
Zoya : Arre wa.. ab lag rahein hain na... dulhan ke bhai...
Asad : Kya yeh apka kamra hain ??
Zoya gave a mischievous smile.. : Ji.. ab mera.. pehle apka...
Asad : Aap hain kaun ?? Aur yeh sherwani...
Zoya : Ghabariye math.. yeh naya hain.. aur apke liye hi layi thi .. Kal apko dekhe ke muje patha chala ki aap kitne boring hain.. aur muje laga ki aap sirf business suit hi pehnte hain.. isliye apkeliye ghar ane se pehle shopping ki...
Asad : Shukriya...yeh kitabein...
Zoya : Agar kamra mera hain to.. kitab bhi meri hi hain... Main Final year engineering kar rahi hoon.. architecture mein... Muje yeh bhi patha hain ki aap bhi ek architect hain...
A small smile spread across his face...
Zoya : Ek minute ek minute and she immediately took another snap of his when he still had the smile on his face...Apka phone dijiye... Aap bhi Mumbai jane ke baad muje miss karoge na.. and she took a snap of herself and returned the phone to him...Ab chaliye.. neeche...
Ayaan had come by then... : Zoya.. yeh kya ho raha hain ??
Zoya : Kuch nahin Ayaan.. Apke bhai dress change karna chathe the.. isliye yahan leke agayi... Chaliye Mr. Khan and as she was about to drag Asad out of the room, Ayaan pulled her back...
Ayaan : Asad.. tum neeche jao... Najma ke sasural wale agaye hain.. mein aur Zoya bus do minute mein athe hain...
Asad looked at Zoya and after she gave an assuring nod and smile, he went out of the room leaving them...
Ayaan : Zoya.. yeh sab kya hain ??
Zoya : Bataya to tha...
Ayaan : Asad ka woh sherwani tum lekar ayi hain na ??
Zoya : Haan.. mein lekar ayi.. ismein galti kya hain ??
Ayaan : Zoya.. tum...
Zoya : Ayaan... please..tum pareshan kyun ho rahe ho ?? hum acche dost hain na.. ?? Mujpar yakin karo... Itne saal baad Asad is ghar aye hain.. tum unke bhai ho.. unhone zyada khoya hain.. tumhare pass ammi aur Najma dono the.. mana ki unke paas unke abbu the .. lekin hum yeh bhi jante hain na ki kiski galti thi.. Please Asad ko samaj ne ki koshish karo aur jab tak woh yahan hain.. meri koshish sirf unhe kush rakne ka hain... and she walked away...
Ayaan's thoughts : Zoya.. tum samaj nahin rahi ho... and with a disappointed look he also walked down...
Imran's family had come by then and Zoya had gone back and stood beside Asad... When Shireen was introducing Imran and his family to her family, she pointed to Asad...
Shireen : Imran, yeh Asad hain... and before she could complete her sentence...
Asad :Mein Asad Ahmed Khan.. Rashid Ahmed Khan aur Dilshad Ahmed Khan ka beta.. Mumbai se...
Shireen was hurt... but Zoya took over...
Zoya : Imran.. apko patha hain na.. yeh Najma ke Bhaijaan bhi hain...
Imran smiled and nodded and went towards other guests ...
Zoya : Mr. Khan... todhe dher keliye apka yeh akdu pan chod saktein hain kya ??
Gaffur and Razia noticed Zoya speaking to Asad . Razia was happy since Zoya was not near Ayaan but Gaffur was little shocked ...
Gaffur: Zoya beta.. idhar ajao...
Zoya :Ji abbu..
Gaffur : Tum janti ho .. woh kaun hain ??
Zoya : Abbu mein janti hoon.. aur yeh bhi janti hoon ki koi bhi unse acchi tarah baat nahin kar raha hain.. aap please muje rokiye math ..
Gaffur's only weakness is his daughter... May be it was his guilty feeling which made him accept to all her demands... And he had never ever got angry on Zoya and he had agreed to all her demands even though he was not convinced.. Added to his guilty feeling, Razia had never accepted Zoya as her child .. He had also permitted Zoya to wear jeans ... She was is pride and happiness...
After Najma's nikaah ceremony was over, Asad congratulated both Najma and Imran and he was about to leave.. but Zoya stopped him..
Zoya : Mr. Khan.. aap khana khaye bagair yahan se nahin ja sakte hain...
Asad : Muje bookh nahin hain.. please..
Zoya : bhook kaise nahin rahega.. apne subah se kuch khaya bhi nahin.. aur mein apko aise jane nahin doongi...Aap yahin baitiyen.. mein apkeliye khana lathi hoon.. waise aap kya khayenge ??
Asad : aap ko jo pasad ho .. woh leke ayiye.. mein khaoonga...
Shireen was happy to see that Asad was comfortable with Zoya and he was atleast speaking to her ...
Ayaan was getting very angry .. He joined Asad and Zoya when she had come with a plate of food..
Ayaan : Zoya.. mere liye bhi khana leke aao please...
Zoya : Mr. Khan.. aap khana khaiye.. aur Ayaan ke saath baath kijiye.. mein do minute mein athi hoon...
Asad remembered a deer... looking at the way Zoya dashed out... She was wearing an yellow coloured saree with golden work.. She was looking extremely pretty...
Both the brothers did not have any words.. and they did not know how to start the conversation...
Asad : Mein kal subah ki flight se wapis ja raha hoon...
Ayaan just smiled at Asad..
Zoya : Ye lo Ayaan.. aur haan Humeira tumhe bula rahin hain.. woh khana tumhare saath khana chathi hain..
Asad liked the food and he ate to his stomach fill but there was too many sweets .. and he hardly ate sweets but he knew Zoya would not take a no for an answer...Zoya also looked at his plate and she could understand his problem...
Zoya : Kya hua Mr. Khan.. aap sweets nahin khate ho ?? koi baat nahin main hoon na... aap sirf yeh kaju katli kahiye.. mein baki sab khati hoon and without hesitating she took the other sweets from his plate and started eating it...
Zoya : Aapki flight kitne bhaje ki hain... ??
Asad : Kal subah nau bhaje ka flight hain... mein hotel se sade saath bhaje nikal tha hoon...
Zoya : Lekin maine poocha nahin ki aap hotel se kitne bhaje nikal rahein hain...
Asad : Woh actually muje laga ki apka next question wahin hoga...
Zoya gave her best smile at him... : Shukriya.. mein apko airport mein milti hoon..
Since Zoya insisted, Asad had to tell bye to everybody personally and left..
After Najma's bidai, Zoya had ignored all the others and she had gone to her room.. she was dead tired... but she was also happy...
She found that Asad's suit was still in her room.. He had forgotten to collect it before leaving...She took his jacket and gently ran her hands on it and a smile spread across her face..
Zoya's thoughts : Mr. Akdu Ahmed Khan.. aap chahe ya na chahe... Ab mein apka peecha nahin chodungi.. She took out the snaps in her mobile and she was happy to look at all the snaps...
Asad's Hotel
Asad was also happy and strangely he did not have any head ache inspite of spending almost a full day in that house.. The very thought about them would give him an horrible head ache all these years... He took out his phone and looked at Zoya's snap which she had saved in his phone...which made him smile...As he was looking at her snap, he got a message from her...
Message : Apko meri tasveer dekh kar raat bitane ki koi zaroorat nahin.. Chaliye.. so jayiye.. Good night... Sweet Dreams...
