Asad opened his eyes and smiled, his heart swelling with love, seeing his love sleeping besides him, facing him, her hand holdin his. He stared at her sleeping extrating the calm and peace that was radaiting around her. He just looked at her, not touching her, enjoying the reality of his life. His Zoya was with him, finally and everything had been set straight and in its place.Now the world knew, and after the intitial shock had died down, the world rejoiced at their relationship. He and Zoya had been constanly receiving congratulations and best wishes, and a lot of love from all the fans and people that appreciated the way Zoya handled the press and confidently made them shut up. It was over all the best part of his life once again, and after 3 weeks of finally being husband and wife in front of the world Asad was seeing it to be real. Slowly pulling his hand from Zoya's he got off the bed, making his way to the bathroom to get ready for his morning run. It was a busy week ahead, with promotions of his movie on its way, the release only a few weeks away and Ayaan's engagement in a week. Thinking of Ayaan's engagement, Asad groaned in exasparation. He still didn't understand how Zoya had convienced him to dance at his engagement, a promise he was having a hard time living upto. But what was done was done, he was to invest his time this week in dance reharsals, it needed to be perfect according to Zoya,after all the superstar Mr Asad Ahemd khan was to be performing with his wife..in front of everybody for the first time. Thankfully there was no media invited, making Asad breate a sigh of relief as he finally changed into his jogging clothes and walked out of the room.
Zoya was fidgeting around the bed, her hands trying to find Asad, and not feeling him anywhere made her call out his name in frustration..Asad..she whined..where are you...I need to sleep...give me your hand...she spoke...her eyes closed, her hands still motioning in the air..calling out on him...Asad sighed...as he made his way to the bed and gave her his hand..which she took instantly..tugging him onto the bed...She pulled his hand closer, leaving him no option but to lie down besides her, as she placed his hand under her face and cuddled up to him.Asad let out a silent laugh as he shook his head at her innocence and her need for him.
Zoya-Where were you Asad..she spoke in her sleep...I need you to be around me at all times..especially when I am sleeping...you know..I cant sleep without touching you somehow right..she continued mumbling her body..closing in the gap..as she lifetd her leg and wrapped it around Asad's waist...her body shimming into his form.
Ummm..she sighed as she inhaled his scent, nuzzling his neck..her smile spearding instinctively...Asad looked heavewards and rolled his eyes...Nothing had changed..as he had been foolishly assuming over the past few years...Zoya was Zoya her need to be with him surpassed everything else..Giving in to the comfort of his wife in his arms..Asad..pulled her in all the way and wrapped his arms around her..his chin resting on her head, as he closed his eyes and dozed of into sweet happy nothingness...forgetting everything but him and her...They slept insync..their hearts reaising and dropping together in unison.
~~
It was 11 am when a knock on the door shook Asad out of his sleep...
Dilshaad-Asad beta...your manager is on the call...he said he has been trying your cell but you don't seem to be responding, he has something important he needs to discuss with you, he says it cant wait..so beta open the door and take the phone...
Asad rubbed his eyes and woke up...trying to get up..but Zoya was wrapped around him, making him trapped under her petite body. He smiled..and gently kissed her lips, making her sigh...her smile ever so ready to emerge...
Asad-Zoya wake up...I need to get the phone from ammi...he untangled himself from her hold as he got up...and made his way to the door, Zoya still not waking up..whining to have been left there without his touch...
Asad-Ji ammi he said as he opened the door...
Dilshaad took one look at her son, dressed in his jogging suit..his hair in a mess..his eyes..swollen from his deep peaceful sleep..and let out a laugh...Asad don't tell me you were sleeping?? That too at 11am in the morning, in your jogging suit...I mean...you used to scold Ayaan and Najma all the time when they woke up at 9am on the weekends and look at you now..she shook her head as she continued laughing..Asad's face turning a little red as he took the phone from her hand and walked back in his room, closing the door behind him...
Asad-Ji Mr Rao...what was so important that you had to call at home that too this early in the morning..he spoke..a lil frustrated..a lil sleepy and completely disoriented...
Mr Rao hesitated for a moment...holding on to his laughter.. he had heard everything Mr Khan's mom was telling and also for the fact that his boss still seemed to be completely unaware of the time...Hesitantly he responded..
Mr Rao-Umm actually sir..its a little over 11 am...and usually you are up by 6 in the morning, so keeping in mind your daily routine I tried calling you around 8am, but you didn't respond.Then I thought that maybe your phone was on silent, so I waited and tried again after an hour but u still didn't respond..I let it be thininking you will call back, but you didn't so finally after 2 hours of waiting I decided to call your home,Actually sir its very time sensitive, the thing I want to discuss with you...
Asad was rubbing his temple in exasparation, feeling very embaressed by his situation.He couldn't believe he had slept through the day and it was past 11 in the morning...Damn you Zoya your habits are messing up my routine... he muttered making his way to the sofa in his room and sitting down...Zoya opening her eyes and frowning at him...I heard that..she muttered...sitting up..still very sleepy...
Shaking his head...he responed to Mr Rao...Ok Mr Rao all good..so what is it that's so important...
Mr Rao- Actually sir..we've been contacted by this show... (consider it to be somethin like the simi gerewal show..a very prestigious talk show) and they want you and Mrs Khan...he smiled at that statement...making Asad smile too...on the other end of the phone.. to apear for their season opener show, and they want to know if you're interested or not.They actually want to talk to the both of you about your journey through life and your love story. They think it will be a very unique interview, where the world will get to know about the 2 of you.They are really keen on making it happen and Maam (someone like Simi Gerewal) presonally called me to ask you to be a part of the show..and they need the answer by 2 cos they have to shoot for the episode in 4 days which will be telecasted live... so they need an answer from you ASAP...he stopped speaking, knowing very well that his boss was comtemplating.
Asad stayed silent for a bit...trying to make up his mind.He had always been a very private person and had shyed away from interviews and other social broadcasting, but this was different.First of all he held a lot of respect for Maam',she had always been one of the few people in the industry that had genuinely cared for him and given her true feedback, and her inviting him to her show was indeed a great honour for Asad. But he wasn't sure, Zoya needed to be ok with that too. He looked at Zoya who was busy with her Ipad,seated on the bed, leaning on the headboard. She looked at him and fake scowled..showing him her tongue...and Asad couldn't help but sigh...
Zoya-What's up Asad she asked knowing very well that he was confused...
Asad put the phone on mute..and filled her in on the details..Zoya standing up and making her way up to him, kissing him on his lips and ruffling his hair for no aparant reason..
Asad-Stop it he said..as he compulsively tried tidiying up his hair..tell me yes or no..
Zoya-Of course yes..I mean how exciting is that...I used to watch her show in NY with aapi..and now..I get to be on it...Eeep...how exciting is that..she jumped...picking Mango up, from the floor and jumping around with her...I cant wait to tell aapi n jeeju and ammi and Najma and Nikhat and Humeira..OMG OMG...I have so much to do.She ran out the room..as excited as Mango that ran behind her, tail wagging and happy barks filling in the house...
Asad laughed out loud at his silly adorable wife and said yes to Mr Rao..and finally made his way to the breakfast table...4 hours late..
~~
The next 4 days went by in a busy blur...with shopping, promotions, then dance reharsals and some more shopping, followed by salon appointments for Zoya, who was leaving no stone unturned in prepping herself for the interview. She had gone as far as getting fake questions made by Humeira and Najma, making them ask her those questions as interviewers while she came up with mutiple different ways of answering. For her it was practice but for everybody else it was pure entertainment, even the workers that were coming by the home for decorating it for the engagement couldn't help but giggle at her antics. Asad steered clear of Zoya for these days, completely avoiding the chance of getting trapped in her crazy ideas. Infact he had somehow managed to postpone the dance practices until after the interview, so that Zoya could concentrate on herself, and Zoya being Zoya had fallen for his tricks and let him have a free pass at the dance.
Everyone was very excited about this interview, their first interview together and they did all they could to be as involed helping out.Even Zoya's aapi had made special arrangements with Najma to show her the ongoing interview on facetime.She had taken the whole day off so she could see her Zoya with Asad giving an interview on one of her favorite talk show.
~~
Finally the day had arrived and everything was set.Asad was dressed in a black and white 3 piece suit lookin pristine and handsome, his pocket kerchief matching the pink in Zoya's pink and gold saree. Zoya looked etherial, her saree hugging her curves just right, eccentuating her form, making her look breathtaking. Her hair was left open in soft waves, her makeup and her look every bit feminine and classic. Asad was in awe of her, taking in every opportunity to drink in her beauty.Infact he had somehow managed to sneak in on her for a quickie, not bothering about Zoya's concern over her saree or her hair or makeup. And by the time they were done with their..quick session of lovemaking, before they left their home...Zoya had to get retouched..her flushed cheeks giving away her secret rendezvouz.
Asad and Zoya were now at the studio, waiting to meet Maam before they went ahead and shot the interview.First time in her life Zoya felt nervous, her hands gripping Asad's hand squeezing it tight taking in the courage from Asad. Asad smiled at her and kissed her gently, telling her..Meri jaan..just relax, you'l do gr8 I knw..taking with it all her anxeity as she smiled and gave him a side hug.
Maam walked in a few minutes later and introduced herself to Zoya, the encounter turning out to be a very pleasant experience for Zoya, making her forget all her worries as she made her way to the stage ready and waiting for their annoucment to enter.
Asad went first...and he was welcomed with wild applause and warm screams...to which he graciously bowed down to and waved thanking everyone for their love, taking his seat, ready as always.
Maam' So Asad I believe its your first interview, not related to your movies right...
Asad-Yes..
Maam'- So how does it feel??
Asad-Its always a pleasant experience with you ...and with so many loving fans in the audience..
He waved at the audience..his family..including Humeira, Nikhat and Imran in the front row, Zoya's aapi watching from Najma's phone..Through facetime.
And the questions went on for the next 15-20 minutes, ranging from his career to his success finally leading up to his personal life and love, making way for Zoya's inroduction...
Maam' So let me introduce to you the girl that everybody cant get enough of, the girl that stole our supestars heart a long time ago...his new costar and his love...Intoducing...Mrs Zoya Asad Khan
The crowd cheered as enthusiatically as they did for Asad, making Zoya forget the anxcious rumble in her tummy...She smiled and joined her hands in a namaste as she walked up to the stage, Asad staniding up and walking up to her, gently giving her a peck on her cheek and taking her hand in his ,escorting her to the couch. The crowd was ecstatic, as they saw their superstar being so demonstrative, kissing his wife showing her his love...
Finally seated and settled Zoya said hello to Maam...and greeting were exchanged...
Maam-So Zoya how does it feel..to be here...you just told me back stage that you were a fan of my show..
Zoya blushed and looked at Asad, gaining the silent reassurance that she'll be ok...
Zoya-It's a surreal experience I must tell you, infact the past 8 months have been like a dream.Its all so new for me and yet here I am..enjoying every bit of it...I must say..I have nothing to complain about..God has been more than kind with me.
Applause...
Maam-Before I ask you anything Zoya I have to tell you tht the way you shut the media up at the press conference was outstanding...I was truly amazed by the strenght and courage you showed..you are an inspiration to a lot of girls, giving them the guts to stand up to their bullies and speak their minds...Honestly Zoya you were spectacular. What made you take such a stand??
Zoya blushed at the compliment...looking at Asad once again..his eyes filled with pride...
Zoya-Well thank you so very much, I guess it felt right in the moment, and I have always been encouraged to stand up for the right thing and at that point the situation was going a little out of hand, and I couldn't take them ambushing Asad.He had the right to not share his personal life, but they wouldn't listen..
Maam-Then how come you came out and revealed it to the world that you were husband and wife??
Zoya- Cos I no longer wanted to live in the shadows, we werent doing anything wrong, and I wanted to tell that to the world and Asad supported me with that..allowing me to say it out loud that..Asad is my husband..and I have loved him all my life...
The crowd was giddy with excitement hooting and cheering...enjoying the interview and the candid confessions...
The interview went on for the next hour...questions and answers tossed back and forth with ease, Asad and Zoya being hteir entertaining selves, their love not needing any efforts to reflect out to the world. It was apparent, in the way they talked about each other, pulling each others legs at certain comments, and how they filled in when ther other couldn't. The audience listened to their conversation, mesmerised, girls day dreaming of their prince charming, hoping for him to be like Asad, while guys sighed at Zoya's love and devotion for Asad, silently wishing to be blessed with an equally loving and devoted girl for them to love.
Now in their last part of the segment, Asad and Zoya gracioulsy shared with their audience and ther world the most cherished images of their lives. For the first time, the world got to see the wedding images of Asad and Zoya when they were only 19 and 23 years old, when neither of them knew about worldly ups and downs..when all that mattered to the 2 was their love for each other.. It had been a simple wedding, and the pictures reflected just that. Asad dressed in a basic grey suit and white shirt, Zoya in a knee length red dress, both lookin young and beautiful.
Maam- wow those are so adorable, its apparent how much in love you are. Your smiles are so heartfelt and the way you're looking at each other...don't you think peaople they look just perfect with each other??
The crowd oohed and aahed...sighing as the slideshow went on...
Maam- So tell me Asad and Zoya, you had a very simple wedding then,and I can understand the reason behind it, but now that you both have grown up and found each other again, is there a possibility of a grand wedding??
The crowd waited for them to answer...Asad and Zoya looked at each other..not knowing what to say...
Zoya-Umm actually we have never thoguht about it...I mean we are already married...
Maam-So have you never thought of a cultural wedding with all the rituals and customs??
Zoya-I have but that was back in the days, recently I have never come upon this idea...
The crowd...was silent...not knowing how to react...
Maam- Well Asad...you tell me...do you think this is a second chance for you??
Asad-Yes it most definetly is..
Maam-So then have you ever thought of maybe getting married once again, in the way you both dreamt about...?
Asad- Honestly I have...
Zoya was surprised at his answer and she looked at him..
Zoya Have you??
Asad-Yes...I always had that in the back of my mind...I always wanted to see Zoya as a bride..dressed in a traditional attire...our wedding hapenning with all our family with us...I have always dreamt of having a wedding with all the traditional customs in India...he confessed...
Zoya couldn't believe her ears...Asad had taken her by surprise with this...
Maam- Wow that's amazing...
The crowd cheered...while Zoya sat there..smiling but totally stumped...
Maam-So now that you have confessed to the world that you wish to have a grand wedding...do tell us if you have any plans for a grand proposal... she joked not expecting a yes...but Asad surprised her as well...when he said..Yes..
Asad-Yes..I have thought about it...and I plan to make that happen...when she least expects it...he looked at Zoya and winked..
Zoya just stared at him...speechless...how come she didn't know anything about it... Asad smirked..enjoying Zoya's expression...as the crowd continued with their applause...
