A/N: This will probably only be about 3-5 chapters long. It takes place before the current track and after the Eid track with a few changes. There is no Najma/Imran relationship. Asad and Zoya get married quietly shortly after Eid, Humeira already has her memory back and so Razia comes back as Humeira isn't aware of what happened to her as Rajni. A new family has been introduced.

Asad Ahmed Khan sat at the breakfast table, a few days after his wedding, thanking Allah for finally giving him Zoya. Everything they had gone through with Tanveer had led up to this moment where they were finally united, and nothing could tear them apart. He looked at Zoya, finally his wife, watching her eat her breakfast in her typical Zoya style. Happiness had finally come to the Khan Villa.
Asad, it's the day of your wedding reception! I can't believe you're going to work today of all days.' Dilshad said upon entering the room, looking at her son disapprovingly. Really Bhaijan, aap bhi na' was Najma's addition to the conversation. You should have taken the day off today,' Dilshad continued, as she filled her plate. Zoya was quiet throughout, knowing that Asad really did want to spend the day with her, but had an important meeting he couldn't miss. She watched as Asad explained all of this to Phoopi and Najma, and reassured them that he would be back by lunch time.
Although the wedding itself had been a quiet family affair, with only family attendance, Dilshad had decided to throw her only son a huge reception. They were holding it at Bhopal's most grand event hall, which had been one of the many projects completed by Dilshad Constructions, and tonight would also be the first event held there. They had decided to have it a week after the wedding itself, so that the family could keep the wedding completely a family affair and not have anyone or anything interfere.
Ayaan, Nikhat, Nuzhat , Badi Bi and even Rashid had attended the wedding itself, along with Dilshad and Najma, upon Zoya's request, but they hadn't mentioned it to anyone else at the Siddiqui house. Humeira did know of the wedding as well, because Ayaan had mentioned it to her afterwards, but Razia, who had recently been lying low after being thrown out of the house and Ghaffur were unaware.
Yeh kya hai?' Shireen questioned picking up an envelope that was lying on the table with the rest of the mail. Razia looked up quickly, wondering if Tanveer had started playing some sort of new chaal now that she believed she had nothing left to lose. Before she could grab it however Shireen had opened the envelope and pulled out a beautiful card. Looks like a wedding invitation.' Humeira suggested, as Shireen opened the card and dropped it in shock. Razia quickly picked it up and realized it was an invitation to Asad Ahmed Khan's wedding reception, for tonight. So that meant the wedding had already happened and she would have a harder job of keeping Zoya away from Ghaffur. This time however, involving Tanveer would be a bad idea, so she would have to do the work herself.
Tanveer walked out from Imran's house, smiling gleefully as she counted the money. She held all of Razia's secrets and knew everything Zoya wanted to know, all she had to do was let Ms. Zoya Farooqi know that the man responsible for her mother's death just happened to be Rashid Ahmed Khan; father of Asad Ahmed Khan. Letting Zoya know, just before she was getting married would cause her to run, and Tanveer would simply take the place of the bride. Once the wedding was over, she would become Mrs. Asad Ahmed Khan and then, she would show Razia what power really was. She didn't need Asad's love, just his name and money. The last few days she had spent after Eid, going back to her hometown and setting things right with her factory before coming directly to collect money from Imran again so that she could start off her plan.
Asad looked over the plans from the ZF group to build a hotel here in Bhopal, a luxury hotel and decided that not only did it look like a good business move, but the ZF group of hotels had already made a name for themselves in the past few years and it would be a good way to establish Dilshad Constructions as one of the best construction companies in the country. After today's meeting, the deal was sealed and as soon as he signed the contract, the project was his.
Bhaijaan's wedding reception, we have to go!' Ayaan exclaimed, as the rest of the Zingo hotties nodded in union. Humeira looked at Ayaan sadly, although things between them were back to normal, and now she knew Ayaan loved her, she was still scared something would go wrong. However a wedding in the house right now would be terrible. Imran and Nikhat's broken engagement had put the rest of the house in a sour mood lately and Nikhat was still waiting for Imran to show up and claim his love for her.
How was the meeting, Aiman?' an older gentleman in a suit asked his son as his wife served them lunch. A younger man, in his mid-twenties raised his head and smiled at his father, The contract should be signed by tomorrow abbu, I think it's a done deal.' He answered before going back to eating his lunch. Nothing beats your cooking ammi, he said after a moment, smiling at his mother before getting up, Now I have to go pick Norah up from the airport,' Aiman continued, only to be interrupted by his father. Don't forget, we have to attend the wedding reception today, we need to establish a good relationship with Asad Ahmed Khan since his company will be working on the construction of our hotel.'
Zoya was beyond happy as she walked into the room she now shared with Mr. Khan, looking around at how neat everything was. Mr. Khan had actually cleaned up all her clothes this morning and left everything way too neat for Zoya Fa...oh wait, it was Mrs. Zoya Khan now. She threw open her closet door and tried to decide on what she would wear to her reception tonight. She looked through the various traditional outfits Phoopi had bought her as the door opened and she turned around to see Asad standing there holding a shopping bag. She smiled one of her huge dimpled smiles before walking towards him. Her eyes on Asad, she didn't notice the shirt she had thrown on the floor a few minutes ago and tripped, only to be caught by her husband, her Mr. Khan. I'll never let you fall Zoya' he said his voice full of emotion as Zoya opened her eyes and looked into his. *Mitwa moment*
Zoya smiled, before realizing that she still hadn't decided what to wear tonight, and Asad raised an eyebrow before saying, I have the solution to your problem, Zoya.' Zoya looked up at her husband, Mr. Khan, you don't even know what the problem is yet.' Asad simply smirked, Zoya, you can call me Asad now you know?' He watched in amusement as she blushed before continuing, and I know you well enough to know you're wondering what to wear tonight.' He then handed her the shopping bag. Zoya reached inside to pull out a beautiful dress, in a similar style to the one she had worn during Eid, which combined both traditional Indian as well as Western styles. A huge smile broke out on her face, as she realized that Mr. Khan had gotten the perfect outfit for her.
A knock on the door broke them out of their thoughts as Asad quickly said Come in' and Najma walked in with a smile, Bhaijaan, Bhabi Ammi says to get dressed. We have to leave for the function hall soon.' She then noticed the dress in Zoya's hands, Wow Zoya such a beautiful dress, before smiling at her older brother and quickly walking out the door to let the newly married couple get ready.
You can't go there to celebrate the wedding of that Asad Ahmed Khan. How can you forget that your daughter's engagement just broke. Can you imagine what Nikhaat is feeing at this moment? Do you think she won't be upset going to someone else's wedding?' Rashid turned around, his eyes flashing with anger, That Asad Ahmed Khan happens to be my son.' He said, his voice deadly. And as for Nikhat,' he stopped upon seeing Nikhat standing there, but she looked at her Ammi and said in a quiet calm voice, Asad Bhaijaan is my brother and he has always been there for me,' she looked at her father before continuing, and today is a day of celebration for him. Besides, he doesn't know about my broken engagement and even if he did, I would still want for him to be happy. Just like he wants the best for me, I also want the best for him. Asad bhaijaan helped us a lot and always gave us the love of a brother whenever he could. Today as a sister, I want to be a part of my brother's wedding celebration and forget my own worries for a moment and be a part of his celebration.' When she finished, she had tears in her eyes, but her voice was firm. Shireen looked defeated but nodded her head.
Razia who was standing outside the door heard all this and glared. This just couldn't be happening. She needed a plan, a plan that would get rid of Zoya fat, but in the meantime, she couldn't let the two families become closer. The secret she was guarding so heavily would never come out and Razia Siddiqui would make sure of that.
Sir, we have found a lead in the case regarding your sister. I am sorry to say that she passed away a few years after coming to Bhopal. It also appears that she had a child who was then taken to an orphanage, however when we enquired at the orphanage, we found out that she was adopted by some distant relatives.' As the detective finished talking, he looked at the millionaire owner of ZF group who was in search of his sister whose last destination had been Bhopal. Aziz took a deep breath before making a decision. He would find out the circumstances of his sister's death and find the man who had left her the day after their Nikah and caused her to come to Bhopal in the first place. He would also find the girl, his niece and share with her the memories of a mother she had lost too early.
