CHAPTER THIRTEEN :
'Asad is sleeping and you are ?' The same familiar voice came on the phone while Zoya's eyes opened up wide in shock at her words.
'Is that you Sophia ?' Zoya asked with teary eyes even though she recognised her voice already.
'Yes Sophia here but who are you ?' Sophia asked confusedly.
'What is Asad doing with you ? Give him the phone.' Zoya said angrily and wiped off her tears.
'Zoya ?' Sophia recognised her voice and asked in low voice and Zoya felt like she went out of the room as she heard Sophia closing the door ang going to another room.
'I said give the phone to Asad !' Zoya said again in the same tone.
'I told you he is sleeping. Can't you understand that ?' Sophia asked in harsh tone while Zoya was shocked.
'What is he doing with you ?' Zoya asked even though she understood already.
'I guess you already guessed it.' Sophia said and chuckled while Zoya felt like a stab in her heart.
'No he can't do this.' Zoya said while taking two steps back to take support from the wall.
'He already did it.' Sophia said proudly.
'But he told me that you are going back tomorrow then what are you doing in Delhi ?' She asked while sitting on the floor and hugged her knees tightly. She wasn't scared anymore to look in the mirror.
'I guess he lied to you because I was already in Delhi. I told you I have a wedding to attend in Delhi. He came here to meet me.' Sophia said and yawned as she wasn't interested in talking to her anymore.
'No he can't do this.' Zoya repeated her words as she tried hard to assure herself.
'He went their for his business meeting.' Zoya told her as if she wanted an explanation for that too.
'Their wasn't any meeting Zoya. He lied to you.' Sophia said annoyingly. 'Now I have to go he is waiting for me. Take care.' She said and cancelled the call.
Zoya looked at the phone and then at the mirror in hope to see that girl. She wanted to see the person who destroyed her life. She wanted to feel someone's presence to make sure she wasn't alone but to her surprise when she needed her then she wasn't there with her.
She could only see her on image in the mirror. She was alone in this mirror. Yes this mirror, the only mirror she loved to stand in the whole house. The first time she stood there was with Asad all alone. Second time, Sophia was between them but she didn't notice that before. Yes how can she forget that she was always between them from the beginning. And now she was alone in this beautiful mirror.
She couldn't see anymore and looked down. She was crying now without getting scared from anyone. She wasn't scared anymore. Her biggest fear had came out to be true. Asad wasn't hers anymore. He didn't belong to her, he never belonged to her.
'And what if a witch takes me away from you when you are not there with me ?' She remembered Asad asked her a month back and today she felt like Sophia was the witch in their life who took him away from her when she wasn't with him.
'I am just going out with a friend.' He told her few hours back. So this is the friend he was talking about.She thought and looked up again in the mirror and rubbed her red puffy eyes.
'You must be happy right now therefore you are not showing up right ? You didn't show up when we fought too !' Zoya said as she remembered their was no noise that night when she fought with Asad about Osama. 'How can I forget you love to do this and you finally did it with us.' Zoya said and smiled sarcastically in the mirror as she knew that the spirit was listening to her.
'This is all because of you. You cursed us right ? And its working how it should be.' Zoya asked a bit loudly this time while rubbing her forehead but their was no answer still.
'Answer me damn it !' Zoya asked angrily but the house was still in silence. She could only feel the air passing by her but she was sure that the spirit was still somewhere around her.
'You bitch ! You destroyed my life !' Zoya said as loud as she could with hate in her tone and threw the phone she was holding on the mirror, the most beautiful mirror she had ever seen before, the mirror she loved to admire herself in was in pieces infront of her now.
After a moment, she felt her coming closer and before she could catch where she was standing she fell on the floor as she slapped her as badly as she could. Blood was coming out of Zoya's lips and she tried to sit straight again as she wasn't scared at all from her. She wiped off the blood and the tears from her face with her sleeves and stood up with confidence.
'You are a bitch !' She shouted again and took her bag from the floor and rotated the door knob and as she had expected the door wasn't locked anymore. She smiled when the door opened up. She looked back inside the house no one was there. She walked out and drived to the hospital again.
She wasn't happy after she read the reports which said positive. She wasn't happy at all. She felt like she was bringing another Zoya Farooqui in the world whose father wasn't faithful with her mother.
She came back home and checked Ayat and sat on the couch as she wasn't sleepy. She started thinking about Asad. How they met ! How they became friends, their first hangout, thier fights, his anger, his care, his possessiveness, his love, his proposal and now his betrayal. Everything was weird between them so were these new feelings for eachother.
Her head was spinning round and round and she fell asleep after hours of thinking and regretting to marry him.
-------------------------------------
She woke up at 10 o'clock and rubbed her forehead which was still having a headache. She looked at the bed to check Ayat but she wasn't there. She walked toward the washroom and spilled some water on her face and came out. She ignored the missed calls from Asad and dialed Asad's office number with one last hope to check if he was not lieing.
'Lisa Does Asad had to attend any important meeting today in Delhi ?' Zoya asked the receptionist after she greeted her.
'Wait for a moment ma'am. I will ask Mr Sharma.' Lisa said and Zoya waited for her to ask Mr Sharma.
'No ma'am. He says the meeting regarding Delhi project is next week.' Lisa told her and she wasn't surprised to know that.
'Ok Thank You.' Zoya said and disconnected the call. Her fingers went inside her hair as she tried to control her headache and started packing everything to go back home before Asad comes and started thinking about any excuse she could make to her father.
-------------------------------------
'Where were you last night ?' Zoya asked the guard when he came inside to ask her if she needs anything.
'Me ?' He was shocked to know that Zoya came home last night.
'Yes ! I came here to pick my bag and saw the doors were open. Where were you ?'Zoya asked him again.
'I went to meet my friend in the nearby house ma'am. It won't happen again. Sorry.' He said while looking down and she realized that she was just trying to take out her anger on him.
'Ok. Call the servants and tell him to clean all this mess.' Zoya said while looking toward the broken glasses on the floor and before he could ask anything about the glass she walked back upstairs and started packing everything.
She was almost done with her packing when she saw Asad entering the room. At first, she was shocked to see him back as he was supposed to come tomorrow but then she thought that Sophia must have told him or Mr Sharma that I know their wasn't any important meeting in Delhi. Zoya saw him hugging Ayat now and then he sat on the couch with her. He looked happy and as normal as he was before, their wasn't any guilt on his face at what he did. Ayat continued playing her game when he came near her.
'How come you are early soon ?' Zoya asked him before he could ask her about the packing.
'My meetings got cancelled. Someone gave wrong information to Prasad about it.' He said calmly. Zoya smiled as she was already expecting that answer. He stood up and walked toward the washroom as he thought that she must be packing because they are going to Bhopal soon.
She waited for him to come out so she can tell him that she is going when his phone started ringing. She took his phone and saw it was Sophia's call. A tear fell from her eye but she couldn't feel the courage to talk to her again. She threw the phone back and zipped her suitcase.
'Are you going somewhere ?' Zoya asked Asad when he was getting ready again in his suit.
'Yes I have a meeting in an hour, I thought I will pick you after that but what are you doing here already ?' Asad asked her confusedly while coming closer.
'I wasn't comfortable there so I came back.' She said in the same tone.
'Are you alright ?' He asked while looking at her. He felt something fishy in her tone. 'What happened here ?' Asad came closer to her and looked at her cheek.
'Did someone hit you ?' He asked worriedly while moving her face upward from her chin.
'I am fine. I just slipped on the floor.' She said annyoingly while moving back but he wasn't satisfied yet.
'What is wrong Zoya ? Did the doctor say anything ?' He asked as he thought that something is upsetting her about the child.
'I couldn't go.' She lied to him while looking down. He looked at her face and was still not understanding what is bothering her.
'We will go to the doctor in the evening. Don't worry.' Asad said to her after a while.
'I am not worried. You can go. You have an important meeting right ?' She asked while looking at his face and he nodded in yes.
'I don't know what is bothering you but we will discuss in the evening. I have to go now.' He said and walked toward the door as he wanted to finish his work as soon as possible and go back to Bhopal with her.
'I am going to New York.' She said on his back. He turned back confusedly while she looked calm to him.
'What ? Why ? I think we already discussed it.' said Asad annoyingly while his phone started ringing again. She looked at the bed where she threw his phone before, it was Sophia's call again. He came closer and picked his cellphone from the bed and cancelled the call.
'She is still here ?' Zoya asked him as she still couldn't believe that he lied to her.
'Ya she is. We will talk about this later and don't go anywhere. I will be back in few hours.' He said again.
'I said I am going to New York.' She said sternly and he pinched the bridge of his nose.
'And I said no !' He said sternly. 'Just stay here and I will be back soon.' He continued in the same tone and walked out of the room. She was shocked at his reaction.
I am not going to stay here Asad ! If you think you can stop me with your anger then you are wrong ! She thought while wiping her tears.
He thinks I will stay with him because of our kids but he is wrong because I won't. I am not dependant on him. She thought while walking toward Ayat's room.
He came out of the house and stopped at the gate to talk to the guard for a moment.
'Did anyone come here when I was gone ?' Asad asked him.
'No ! Ma'am came in the morning and last night too to pick her bag.' Guard told him ignorring the fact that he wasn't here last night while Asad thought that she must have got scared last night that's why she was behaving weird to him.
'Ok. If she goes anywhere then let me know first.' He was sure that she won't go without his permission but still he could expect anything from Zoya specially whenever he got angry on her.
'Ok Sir.' Guard said to him and Asad started the car. He was feeling guilty now for talking to her rudely but at that time he felt that was the right thing to do to stop her.
-------------------------------------
He was busy in his meeting but his mind was again and again diverting to Zoya. He was still confused on What was bothering her ? And why she wanted to go to New York now ? Did she get too much scared last night ?
'So Mr Asad Ahmed Khan should we finalize this deal ?' One of the team members asked him and he came out of his thoughts.
'Yes I guess the last arrangements would be perfect.' said Asad while looking at the projector screen while Mr Sharma entered the conference room without knocking and he looked worried.
'What happened ?' Asad asked him confusedly.
'Its a call from your home. The guard is saying that some people from USA embassy and some officers have came there and claim that you have kept a American National in your house without Mrs Khan's permission.' Mr Sharma's voice dropped down at the end when he took Zoya's name as the person who complained. Asad looked at him like a dumbstruck. He understood very well for who's rescue the officers have came to his house but he wasn't expecting that from Zoya.
He took out his phone from his pocket which showed many missed calls from Zoya and the security guard aswell. His hands turned into perfect fists as he never expected that Zoya would go to this extent because of a small argument. She destroyed his reputation in minutes. He stood up and walked out of the conference room without looking at anyone's questioning face.
