PART 3
Asad was happy and also sad at the same time.. He was happy because he was returning back to Mumbai and also because he would get to meet Zoya in the airport ... Even though he had stayed detached from everybody in that house and had tried to be formal , Zoya had forcibly entered his world.. and he had already started missing her.. He was sad thinking that he may never get to see her again later...
By the time Asad reached the airport, Zoya was already waiting for him.. She was wearing a blue jeans and white full sleeved shirt... She had left her hair loose.. She waved at him and came running towards him.. She was looking like a pretty white rose to him...
Zoya : Good Morning ...
Asad : Good Morning.. aap itni jaldi yahan ??
Zoya : Ghar mein sab utne se pehle hi nikal gayi.. warna sab ko samjake athi to apka flight take off kar chuka hota...
Asad : Aap kyun ayi ??
Zoya smiled.. : Woh kya hai Mr. Khan.. mein apko dekhe bagair nahin reh sakti thi isliye ??
Asad : Ji...??
Zoya : Mr. Khan.. aap itne saal baad yahan aye.. is ghar ki kushi mein shamil hone.. to humara bhi farz bandtha hain na ki hum aap ko teek tarah se good bye bole...??
Asad smiled at her answer... : Kya aap Gaffur Siddique ki beti hain ??
Zoya : Ji.. lekin sagi nahin adopted ...
Asad got a hint of her pain in her voice when she mentioned adopted...: Zoya.. coffee.. piyo gi ?? abhi bahut time hain...
Zoya : Not bad.. chaliye..
Asad ordered both of them cappicino...
Zoya : Aap sirf black coffee pethe hain na ?? aaj kya hua ??
Asad : Ab se black coffee nahin piyoonga...
Zoya : Kyun ??
Asad : Woh actually.. kal maine sugar wali coffee piya na.. to accha laga isliye...
Zoya : Good.. !!
She handed out a cover to him.. It was all the snaps which she had taken the previous day... She had printed it and got it for him...
Zoya : Main janti hoon ki aap ammi se naraz hain.. manti hoon ki unki galti bhi thi.. lekin mera yakeen maniye.. unhe apni galti ki samaj hain ...woh apko bahut pyaar karthi hain.. unhone apse itne saal baat nahin ki.. kyunki woh nahin chathi thi.. ki woh apke ammi aur abbu ke beech mein aye... Woh apni dosti nibah rahi hain...apki nafrat nahin sehasakti hain..
Asad did not respond and so she continued..
Zoya : Sorry Mr. Khan.. mein janti hoon ki yeh sab apki bahut hi personal batein hain.. lekin mein yeh sab keh rahi hoon kyunki mein unke saath bees saal se reh rahi hoon.. woh apko bahut miss karti hain... ek baar apko gale lagana chathi hain...gale lagake rona chathi hain...
Asad was quiet and he did not reply back to Zoya...
Zoya : Aur haan.. Mr. Khan aap us ghar ko acchi tarah se jante hain na.. Kya aap bata sakte hain ki meine apke room hi kyun choose kiya aur apna room banaya ??
Asad immediately lifted his head and looked straight in her eyes.. he was not able to understand the reason ... He however could see lot of love in her eyes ...
Asad : Zoya.. flight ka waqt hogaya.. Bye... !!
Zoya : Aap phir ayenge na ??
Asad : Patha nahin... and he was about to turn around and walk away but Zoya held his hand and stopped him...Surprising him, she hugged him ...
Zoya : I will miss you Mr. Khan.. Bye Take care and she turned around and ran away...
Asad saw that there was tears in her eyes as she told bye to him and ran away... Without his realization, there was a tear drop which fell down from his eyes as well on his hands... He immediately wiped it and walked towards the concened gate to board his flight...
Siddique Mansion...
As Zoya walked into the house, Ayaan was in the drawing room waiting for her...
Ayaan : Zoya.. kahan gayi thi ?? aaj to college ki chutti hain na.. ??
Shireen : Ayaan .. yeh kya tareeka hain Zoya se baat karneki...
Humeira's looks was telling that she was getting angry looking at the concern Ayaan was showing towards Zoya...
Zoya : Main airport gayi thi.. Asad ko bye karnekeliye...
Shireen : Kya Asad chalagaya Zoya..??
Zoya : Ji ammi.. aur aap pareshan math hoyiye.. Woh zaroor wapis ayenge..apse milne ghar bhi ayenge...
Shireen : Nahin ayega woh Zoya.. Nahin ayega.. and she got up and went to her room...
Ayaan : Wahan jane ki kya zaroorat thi... ??
Zoya : Ayaan.. muje zaroorat thi.. excuse me please...
Humeira : Ayaan.. kya aap court se aaj jaldi ayenge... ?? Muje shopping jana hain...
Ayaan : Apne khala ke saath chali jao Humeira.. muje bahut kaam hain.. chalta hoon..
Asad's House...
By the time Asad reached his house... Ayesha had also come down to his house and she was sitting with Dilshaad and waiting for him...
Ayesha : Hi Asad.. Kaisa tha journey...??
Asad smiled at her... : Hi Ayesha... Accha tha.. Ammi.. mein fresh hoke atha hoon.. mereliye coffee please.. abbu se baath hogayi hi .. mein bhi coffee pine ke baad office nikaltha hoon ...ek zaroori meeting hain...
Ayesha tagged along Asad to his room..
Ayesha : Kya baat hain Asad .. bahut badle badle se lag rahein ho...??
Asad : Kuch nahin Ayesha.. excuse me muje office jaldi jana hain...
Ayesha : Asad..mein tumhare saath baat karna chathi hoon...
Asad : Ayesha.. kisi aur din please...
Ayesha returned back to the drawing room and sat with Dilshad...Even though Dilshad sensed that Ayesha was disappointed, she did not want to pick up the topic.. She instead tried to divert Ayesha's attention..
Dilshad : Ayesha beta... tumhare friends kya kar rahein hain college ke baad ??
Ayesha : Mumani.. kuch ladkiyan higher studies kar rahein hain.. do ka nikkaah hogaya.. aur baki sab job kar rahein hain...
Dilshad : Anwar Bhaijaan kaise hain ??
Asad had freshed up and changed to formal wear when he joined the ladies...
Dilshad : Yeh lo Asad.. tumhara black coffee...
Asad : ammi.. todha cheeni aur doodh milega...??
Dilshad was surprised and she was staring at Asad...Ayesha was also surprised and she was also starting at him...
Asad : Aap dono aise kyun ghoor rahein hain muje...??
Dilshad : Asad tum teek to ho na beta ??
Asad : ammi mein teek hoon.. aap please jaldi kijiye...
Asad mixed 2 spoons of sugar and little milk to his coffee and started sipping it with a smile on his face...Dilshad was still in a state of shock looking at her son...
Asad : Ammi chaltha hoon... shaam ko milte hain...
Ayesha : Mumani.. Asad badle badle se lag rahein hain...lagta hain Bhopal ke kisi ladki ki jadu hain...
Dilshad : Ayesha.. please beta.. tum Asad se baat karna chathi ho na.. to baat karo.. ek tarfa pyar kisi keliye accha nahin hota hain... mera yakeen mano...
Ayesha : Ji Mumani.. phir bhi ek baar Asad ke mooh se sach sunna chathi hoon.. Agar koi aur uske dil mein hain.. toh I promise.. main abbu ko batadoongi ki woh mereliye ladka dekhne shuru karein...
Dilshad : I am proud of you beta...aur haan.. tumhari yeh mumani har waqt tumhara saath degi...lekin faisla sabkeliye accha hona chahiye !!
Ayesha hugged Dilshad : Thank you mumani..
Asad's Office...
The evening meeting was a successful one. There was a new company who had come up with building a chain of hotels in Mumbai and they had signed a contract with Dilshad Constructions... Rashid was happy since the company had promised him that they would sign further contracts if they would be happy with their work in Mumbai because they had bigger plans of constructing the hotels all over India...
Even though it had been a very busy day, Asad's thoughts were going back to Zoya again and again.. and as and when he got chance, he would look at her snap in his mobile and thanked her for the snap...Rashid could also sense that his son was happy ...As they were returning home in the same car...
Rashid : Asad.. Najma ka nikaah kaisa hua beta ??
Asad : Accha tha abbu.. Imran bahut hi accha ladka hain.. unhe humarein barein mein sab patha hain.. Imran doctor hain..
Rashid : Main apni bacchi ka nikaah pe bhi nahi ja saka...
Asad immediately remembered the snaps which Zoya had handed over to him.. He took out the packet from his laptop bag and gave it to Rashid...It was a very emotional moment for Rashid.. He had also not seen anybody since last 20 Yrs... Zoya had put Imran and Najma's snap as well along with the family photographs...
Rashid saw all the snaps : Bahut accha hain Asad.. Shukriya.. yeh sab lane keliye...
Asad could understand the pain in his abbu's voice... : Abbu.. shukriya muje nahin.. Zoya ko kehna chahiye... yeh sab usi ne di hain...
Rashid : Zoya ??
Asad : Ji abbu.. woh Gaffur Siddique ki beti hain...
Rashid : Asad.. tum Najma ke khatir wahan gaye.. accha laga.. lekin please un sab logon se door hi raho...
Asad : Ji abbu... How could he tell his dad.. that even though he personally wanted to stay away from them.. Now he knew he could not and will not...
Dinner would always be a quiet task in Rashid's house.. Rashid was very tired and so he excused himself early and went to bed...
Asad's room...
Dilshad : Asad kya baat hain beta ?? Tum kuch badle badle se lag rahein ho.. kisi kaas se mulakat hui kya ??
Asad did not want to hide anything from his ammi and so he narrated how he had met Zoya and also how she had come to see him off in the airport...
Dilshad : Asad.. tum jante ho na.. maine aur tumhare abbu ne tumse kuch bhi nahin chipaya hain... Zoya usi ghar ki bacchi hain... tum samaj rahein ho na ??
Asad : Ammi aap ghabrayi ye math.. aap mujpe barosa rakhiye... Zoya sab ke jaise nahin hain.. woh sabse alag hain ammi... I am sure woh apko bhi pasand ayegi... lekin abhi abbu se kuch bhi math kahiyega... He took out his phone and showed Zoya's snap to Dilshad...
Dilshad :Masha allah bahut hi pyari hain..
As they were speaking, Asad gets a call from Zoya...
A smile spread across Dilshad's face looking at the name on Asad's phone ... : All the best beta... Good night...
Asad answers the phone...
Zoya : Main kab se apke phone ka intezaar kar rahin hoon.. apne Mumbai jathe hi phone kyun nahi kiya ?? Apka safar kaisa tha.. aur khana hogaya kya apka ??
Asad : Zoya... itne saare sawal poochogi ek saath to main kaise jawab de saktha hoon ??
Zoya was quiet... she did not respond...
Asad : Hello.. Zoya.. line pe ho na ??
Zoya : Ji.. apke jawab ka intezaar kar rahi hoon...
Asad : Safar accha tha.. muje malum nahin tha.. ki tum mere phone ka intezaar kar rahi thi isliye phone nahin kiya.. khana hogaya.. abhi sone ja raha tha...Apka khana hogaya ??
Zoya : Nahin .. mein apke phone ka intezaar kar rahi thi.. ab jake khati hoon...Good Night !!
As days passed by, Asad and Zoya had kept in touch daily over phone.. She would give him all the details about his mother, brother and sister.. She had slowly taken away the hatredness Asad was having towards the members of Siddique Mansion.. ...
As Zoya was in Final year, she had to be associated with a construction company for 3 months and had to submit a project .. The students were given a choice to select the companies of their choice all over the country.. .Obviously Zoya had chosen Dilshad Constructions, Mumbai...
Siddique Mansion .. Discussion on Zoya's project...
Gaffur : Beta.. tumhe akele Mumbai kaise bhej saktha hoon ??
Ayaan : Koi zaroorat nahin hain Mumbai jane ki..tum yahi Bhopal mein project karogi...
Shireen : Ayaan.. Zoya ab bacchi nahin hain... hum uske saath zabardasti nahin kar saktein hain...
Zoya : Ji ammi.. mein Mumbai ja rahi hoon.. and that is final.. abbu aap please pareshan math hoyiye... main har din apko phone karoongi...
Ayaan : Wahan project kis company mein kar rahin ho ??
Zoya : Dilshad constructions...
Ayaan : Tum janti ho.. woh kiska hain ?? Tum akele nahi jaogi.. mein bhi tumhare saath aoonga...
Zoya : Ayaan please.. tumhara bahut case chal raha hain na... tum us pe concentrate karo.. aur agar muje koi problem hoti hain wahan to Asad hain na wahan...
Gaffur : Beta.. Asad tumhara madat nahin karega.. woh hum sabse nafrat kartha hain...
Zoya : Nafrat karte the abbu lekin ab nahin.. mera yakeen kijiye.. please
Gaffur : Teek hain.. lekin mein tumhare saath aa kar tumhare hotel ka accommodation sab dekhoonga...
Zoya hugged her dad : I love you abbu..
Shireen was also very happy .. She knew that Zoya was in touch with Asad after he had returned attending Najma's wedding...The only person who was not happy with this was Ayaan...
Asad did not know about Zoya's arrival in Mumbai... Though there were trainees coming into Dilshad Constructions for their project every year, he was always away from them.. Gaffur had ensured that Zoya was safe in the hotel and also he had accompanied her till Dilshad Constructions on the first day before flying back to Bhopal...
Zoya was impressed with the huge Dilshad Constructions...Her first day as a trainee had gone off well.. Though she was a mischievous girl, she was very studious and she loved her career line... After completing the day's work, she had equired about Asad's room and finally she was there in front of his room and knocked it...
Asad : Come in...
When Zoya entered...Asad was engrossed in a drawing.. He was setting out a plan for their upcoming project...
Zoya : Good Evening Mr. Akdu.. ek cup coffee mil sakti hain ??
Asad immediately lifted his head.. He was more than happy to see her in Mumbai and that too in his office in his cabin...
Asad : Zoya.. tum yahan kaise ??
Zoya : Where there is a will there is a way !! Muje apko dekh na tha.. to isliye agayi.. and she handed over the letter from Dilshad Constructions which was sent to her accepting her to be taken in as a Project Trainee for 3 months ...
Asad : Aap pagal hain... Ghar se itne door.. teen mahine tak.. Kaise apko yahan ane diya apke abbu ne ?? woh jante hain na.. ki tum yahan humare company aa rahi ho...
Zoya : Ji .. sab jante jain..
As their conversations were going on, Zoya noticed the drawing which Asad was working on and she gave him few suggestions ...
Zoya : I am sorry... Mr. Khan..agar apko meri suggestions se bura laga...
Asad : Nahin Zoya.. main kush hoon...
Asad was very happy to see his dream girl right in front of him .. and he was more happy to know that she would be in Mumbai for next 3 months.. He also winded up for the day and left office along with her... but as they were coming out, they met Rashid...
Rashid : Asad.. tum ghar ja rahe ho kya ?? Muje kuch kaam hain.. ammi ko bata do ki muje dher hojayegi...
Asad : Ji abbu..
Rashid was surprised to see Asad with a girl because he had never got friendly with any girl.. In office it would be even more professional...
Asad : Abbu.. yeh Zoya hain...
Zoya : Salam Walikum...
Rashid : Walikum Salam.. tum yahan..??
Zoya : Ji.. mein final yr engineering kar rahin hoon.. architecture engineering mein.. aur mein apke company me project karene keliye teen mahine ayi hoon...
Rashid was surprised and looked at Asad and back to Zoya..
Rashid : accha hua beta.. tumhe kisi cheez ki zaroorat ho.. to Asad se kaho... Asad.. Zoya ka khayal rako...
Asad : Ji abbu..
Though Rashid hated Gaffur and his family, he was happy looking at Zoya.. He also knew about the little changes in Asad's life.. and he only hoped allah would bless both of them to be happy with each other ...
After Asad and Zoya got into his car,
Asad :Zoya tum kahan pe ruki ho ?? Maine tumhe har din office ko pick up aur shaam ko drop karunga...
Zoya : Patha hain muje... Phele muje apki ammi se milna hain...muje apke ghar leke chaliye...
Asad : Are you sure ??
Zoya : Ji...
When Asad and Zoya entered the house, Ayesha had also come home and she was chatting with Dilshad...
Asad : Ammi.. yeh Zoya hain...
Zoya : Yeh meri ammi.. Dilshad Ahmed Khan.. aur yeh Ayesha hain.. family friend...
Ayesha understood that Zoya is the special girl in Asad's life looking at both of them..
Ayesha : Mumani.. mein chalthi hoon.. abbu intezaar kar rahein honge...Bye Zoya . Bye Asad...
Dilshad could sense the disappointment in Ayesha's voice but she could not help her out of this situation other than giving her moral support...
Dilshad : Asad.. mein Ayesha ko bahar chodke athi hoon...
Zoya : Apki ammi bahut hi pyari hain... Kya aap jante hain.. Ayesha aisi kyun chaligayi aur apki ammi bhi bahar kyun gayi hain ??
Asad nodded his head with a NO...
Zoya smiled at him.. and before she could say something, Dilshad was back...
Zoya : Kya main apko poophi bula sakti hoon ??
Dilshad : Haan beta.. kya loge... chai ya coffee...ya kuch kao gi ??
Asad : Ammi.. inhe meetha khana pasand hai.. aur humare ghar pe mithai hothi hi nahin hain...
Zoya :Its ok poophi... fruits hain.. mein sabkeliye milk shake banoogi...
Asad : Milk shake. Mein nahin pitha hoon...
Zoya : Peena padega Mr. Khan.. Chaliye poophi...
With the help of Dilshad, Zoya prepared Mango shake and got it for all the 3 of them.. Asad had also freshened up and he joined the ladies...
Asad : Ammi.. muje coffee chahiye...
Zoya : Please Mr. Khan.. aap todha peeke to dekhiye.. agar apko pasand nahin ayega to coffee pisakthe ho...
Dilshad : Bahut hi tasty hain Zoya..
Asad managed to drink half a cup.. and he kept the remaining back...
Dilshad : Tum dono baat karo.. mein Asad keliye coffee lathi hoon...
Zoya had finished her cup of milk shake and she took the one which Asad had left...
Asad : Aap yeh kya kar rahi hain ??
Zoya : Milkshake perahin hoon.. aur kya kar rahi hoon ???
Asad : Apka hogaya na... ise rakhiye..
But before he could tell anything.. she had gulped down the remaining milk shake from his cup...
Dilshad came back with a coffee cup to Asad... : Asad.. yeh kya ?? tumne pura milk shake finish karliya.. aur ab coffee bhi piyoge...
Asad : ammi woh...
Zoya : Poophi.. inka taste bahut ajeeb hain.. de dijiye poophi..
As they were speaking, Dilshad go to know that Zoya would be in Mumbai for 3 months for her project work in their company.. She was very happy to know this...
Dilshad : Zoya beta.. tum roz office ke baad Asad ke saath yahan aajao.. khana khane ke baad Asad tumhe drop karega..
Zoya : shukriya poophi.. lekin nahin.. main bus aaj aapse milne agayi...
Dilshad : Poophi bhi bolti ho.. aur mana bhi karti ho..
Asad : ayegi ammi... mein unhe roz leke aoonga...
Asad got a call from his office.. so he had to go to his room to attend the call...
Zoya : Poophi.. mein aap sab ke barein mein janti hoon.. I am sorry... Aap mere abbu se naraz to nahin hain na..??
Dilshad : Nahin beta.. Shireen kaisi hain.. ??
Zoya : Poophi. Unhe apni galti ka ehsaas hain poophi.. Trust me.. woh apke aur Mr. Khan ke abbu se kush hain.. bus darti hain.. aap dono dost se milne se...
Dilshad smiled at Zoya...
Zoya : Poophi.. mein itne saal se Shireen ammi ke saath thi.. lekin aapko bhi jana chathi hoon.. agar bura na mane to ek baat pooch sakti hoon ?
Dilshad : Poocho beta...
Zoya : Apke bachein...??
Dilshad understood what Zoya was trying to ask...
Dilshad : Zoya.. mera ek hi beta hain.. Asad ..Jab Asad apne abbu ke saath yahan aya tab bahut mahino tak woh udaas tha.. mein Asad ka dard samaj sakti thi.. Jab mere aur Rashid ka nikaah hua.. tab bhi Asad ke dil mein bahut dar tha... Mein ne decide kiya ki muje ek hi beta kafi hain aur woh hain Asad.. mein use aur dard nahin dena chathi thi...
Zoya was shocked to know this.. The respect she had for Dilshad increased hearing this .. She had tears in her eyes...She went and hugged Dilshaad...
Zoya : Poophi aap sach mein bahut acchi ammi hain...
Dilshad smiled at Zoya and kissed her on her forehead..
Asad : Zoya.. kya hua.. Aap kyun ro rahi hain ??
Zoya : Mr. Khan.. yeh kushi ke ansoo hain.. Apke paas World's best ammi hain... sab ke naseeb mein yeh nahin hota hain...
Asad did not know the bond which Zoya shared with either Gaffur or Razia.. but the only thing which he understood was that she was lonely in a crowded house...
