Chapter 3:
More Than What Meets The Eye
It was his doe-eyed girl, and Ayaan was right she was looking, hot she was wearing a white sports bra that exposed her flat tummy, she had on black leggings and a pair of white Nike running shoes and her hair was tied up in a high pony tail with only her side bags sticking out. It looked like she was jogging because she was sweating profusely, but it only made her glow and look 10 times hotter.
Zoyas outfit
Tanveer was burning with jealousy she has had a crush on Asad for as long as she could remember she wore the shortest of clothes to get his attention but then that...girl came into his life and took a place which should only belong to her, HER. Her eyes kept on moving in between Asad and the girl and the way he was admiring her. She moved her thigh closer to Asad and started to move her hand up and down on his thigh but got nothing, NOTHING.
While Asad was drooling over his doe-eyed girl a sudden alarm went of in his head. HIDE YOU IDIOT IF SHE SEES YOU, THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU WILL BE GETTING BURRIED ALIVE. With that he sprang out of his chair as if it were on fire luckily the girl hadn't seen him yet. The others on the table gave him a confused look, Asad had to make up something because he couldn't tell them about him knowing her since it will lead to what she told him. While thinking Asad notices Zoya is about to turn his way so he quickly hides under the table. Ayaan and Haider exchange glances at each other the bow down and ask Asad what he is doing.
Haider: Is everything okay?😕
He asks startling Asad who was getting more and more nervous by the second.
Asad: Yep Yep I just lost my phone here so yeah😕😊
He said while looking at the floor in an attempt for the others to buy his story, and lucky for him they did. Asad decided that it was safer for him to stay under here until she leaves, he made him self comfortable, well as comfortable as a grow man can get when your hiding your self from a woman under a table in a public caf. He once again started his drooling session, she was hot. But then something caught his eyes, there were 4 senior boys from the College and they were eyeing Zoya out of lust, Asad felt his jaw harden. They were moving up to Zoya while she was giving her order one of them was about to pinch her butt, but then she turned around and held his hand at the right time, shocking all 4 and Asad by her quick reflexes. she was saying something and Asad could just about make it out.
Zoya: Abeh kamineh lerki ko ager haat legana heh toh at least uke samaneh akeh ker leh😡
(You dogs, if you are going to touch a girl the least you can do is do it in front of her)
With that she yanked on to the wrist she was holding causing the guy to fall down and bang his head on the counter. All the customers turned around to see what the commotion was about, the rest of circled around her but she didn't look scared she had a smirk on her face. One of them was about to touch her right arm but once again she held his hand in the right time and kicked him in the stomach making him fall down. The other 2 boys exchanged glances at each other but then continued to stalk her. One of the boys pulled out a Knife and threw towards Zoya but Zoya did a back flip causing the knife to stick in the wall. She kicked the stomach and punched his face sending him down on the floor. The last guy looked at her terrified.
Zoya: Did you get the message or do I need to beat you up as well.😡
Before she could move ahead the guy ran out of the caf. All the customers looks at Zoya with shocked written all over their faces, a girl who was half the size of the 3 boys beat them up. Zoya couldn't give a damn about the faces so she got the water bottle she ordered and walked out the caf to resume with her jogging.
Asad meanwhile felt as if those bees once again came back to slap, kick and punch him. HE WAS TERRIFIED, true that he was the captain of the football team and he fights pretty well, but seeing a girl with that much anger, he is so close to wetting his pants, what will she do to him when she sees him? He was brought out of his thoughts by Ayaan's voice.
Ayaan: Woah that girl can fight😲
Haider: Yeah yaar she is good😃
Tanveer: I don't see anything that good about her😡
Ayaan: Maybe you need to get your eyes checked... that would explain the make up then🤢
Haider and Asad both let out a little giggle causing Tanveer to glare at Ayaan, she stood up from her chair and left the caf her puppets following behind her. As soon as she left Asad came out from under the table.
Ayaan: Did you find our phone?😊
Asad: What.😕...oh yeah phone...yeah I did😊
Haider: Guys I think we should just sit in the car its getting pretty crowded in here.😕
Haider said while looking around the caf.
Asad: Yeah your right Ayaan why don't you just get our orders and we can meet you in the car.😊
Ayaan: K cool
With that Asad and Haider left the room wile Ayaan went and gave them their orders.
Outside
Humeira has been walking for an hour now, she wasn't much of a walker, she only ever walks to get peace. She remembers how her sister and her maybe twins but they are worlds apart. She remembers asking her sister once why she liked to run Zoya told her because the pain she feels when she is running, hides the pain she feels in life. She chuckles at her sister's logic, but her smile soon saddens and turns into a frown when she has a sudden thought pop up in her head, will Zoya be always like this? The thought makes her worry for her, she doesn't want Zoya to hate the world anymore, all her life she has grown up with hate in her heart. She wants her sister to have a new perspective in life she wants her to find a man who changes her world and fills her dead soul with a rainbow. Humeira silently sends a prayer to god asking them to send that man into her sisters life soon.
She opens her eyes and takes in a deep breath while looking at the campus, it sure is huge, there are many cars and students and even parents. Her eyes start to moisten up seeing how much the parents are worried about their kids. Growing up she never got the love of a mother or the concern of a father, she only had Zoya who gave up her life for Humeira. Even though Humeira feels extremely lucky having Zoya around she still wonders what it would have been like to have a mother or father, would they have been those happy families in the TV shows would their dad have left them? She continues walking but then suddenly she feels herself bump against a body and before she knows it she is falling back, she closes her eyes in fear of touching the ground, but it never came, she felt 2 pair of arms go wrap around her dainty waist. Humeira open her eyes only to have the shock of her life.
Ayaan meanwhile had the same reaction written on his face, who would have thought that his annoyance, WAIT WHAT, WHERE DID HIS COME FROM? He screamed in his head, he looked down at her face and was getting drowned in her simple beauty. She didn't have that much make up and her outfit was suited her really well.
He realized that he was drooling over her when he heard a sudden car horn making him come back to reality.
Ayaan: TUM😲
Ayaan shouts in her face and before Humeira could shout back she felt herself falling and hitting the ground wit a thud. She feels herself chest wet, she looks down at herself and sees that she has coffee all over her new shirt. Frustrated she gets up.
Ayaan: Tum mera picha ker rahi hoh😡
Humeira: Mein ek Bendher ka picha kyun karoongi,😡😆
Ayaan: Toh phir yahaan kya ker rahi hoh😕
Humeira: Abeh Einstein yeh ek college hai, TOH PHIR MEIN PERNEH HI AHOONGI NAH😡
She shouted the last part in his face, and before Ayaan could shout back she once again shouted.
Humeira: Aur tumhe zera bhi tameez nahi hai ek larki peh apni seri coffee phenk dhi aur sorry bhi nahi bhol sekti.😡
She yelled while pointing towards her shirt.
Ayaan: Lerki?😕 Mujhe toh yahaan koi lerki nahi dhik rahi😆
He said in a joking voice while looking past Humeira.
Ayaan: Aur waseh bhi sorry toh tumhe kenaa chahiyeh, tumne meri saari coffee giradhi😡😡
Humeira: Haa haa, aur eb bolo geh keh world war 2 India keeh waja seh shuru hooha tha😆
Ayaan: You know what, I don't have time for people like you
Humeira: People like me? Oh you mean people who have eyes unlike your so-called girlfriend.😆
Ayaan: Just...just forget it...you wouldn't understand😡
With that they both headed there separate ways with an expression on their faces.
In the parking lot
Asad: Hey yaar yeh Ayaan kahan regaya hai😕😡
Asad asked looking around
Haider: Theres that barber shop😆 (nickname for Ayaan)
Haider pointed towards an angry Ayaan stomping his way towards them.
Ayaan: I am not in the mood😡
Haider and Asad exchanged weird glances.
Asad: Whats up Ayaan?😕
Ayaan: You know that girl I met on the plane...shes here...in this College...out to ruin my life of course😡😡
While Ayaan was huffing and puffing Asad was wondering if Ayaans girl can be his doe-eyed sister.
Haider: What girl?😕
Asad: Abeh yaar ek lerki thee plane meh, Ayaan flight attendant keh saat flirt keraha tah, lerki neh ek comment paas ki aur Ayaan keh saareh chances chalein gaheh.🤔
Ayaan: No she is just into me that's why she was saying those things to me, you know that expression, hate is the first sign of love...but I told her I have a girlfriend😎
Haider: You mean your imaginary girlfriend😆
Ayaan: SHE IS NOT IMAGINARY😡
Asad: Keep dreaming that big boy
Asad said while patting Ayaans shoulder.
Haider: Guys we should get going we have only 45 minutes till the Asssembly plus if we don't make it on time Mr. Hitler will😕...god I don't even wanna think about what he can do.
Haider said looking at his time. The guys nodded in return and sat in the car driving towards the College's Auditorium. While Haider and Ayaan were busy chatting away Asad on the other hand couldn't help thinking about Mr. Siddique. That name just made him clench his fists, he couldn't have ever guessed that the principal would be such a disgusting and weak man who would betray his own family. He was really starting to feel for his doe-eyed girl, but the mention of her once again brought fear upon of the idea what she would do to him if she found out the they were not going to be strangers for too long.
Meanwhile
Girls Dorm Room
Zoya and Aalia have been unpacking their luggage the whole morning. Zoya realized that Aalia was not a bad girl after all and she started to open up to her. They were both talking about the class schedule when they heard a knock on the door.
Zoya: That must be Humeira😊
She said while hopping of her bed and opening the door, but what she saw shocked her. There was an angry Humeira stomping her way into the room with a coffee stain on her shirt.
Zoya: What happened Humi?
Humeira: Appi don't start...k so I met this annoying guy on the plane and now I know that he goes to this exact same college...and you know what else...he dropped his coffee on me and told me to apologies ME.😡
She said while emphasizing "me".
Zoya: Yeah you know I met these 4 guys at the caf this morning and they tried touching me, but you know me they were down and bleeding in 5 minutes.😡
Aalia: You beat them up😲
Humeira: Of course she did, she has a black belt in karate you know.😆
Aalia: K guys we should really get changed for the Assembly
The 2 nodded their heads and went inside to get changed. Zoya was wearing a black and white striped shirt with a black fitted blazer paired with blue denim shorts and her hair was in a side braid. Humeira was wearing a white flowy tank top with a loose green blouse paired with blue shorts and her hair was left open. Lastly Aalia was wearing a light green blouse where the front was tucked into her floral shorts and she had hair pushed to one side.

Humeira's outfit
Aalia's outfit
After getting ready they all made their way down to the Auditorium for the first day back Assembly. Meanwhile, Zoya was wrenching the moment as she will have to see her so-called father after 17 years. She looked to her left and saw Humeira laughing along with Aalia and an instant smile spread on her lips. She couldn't tell her about their father or otherwise she would just break.
(pic of auditorium is in character sketch on pg.1)
They came to the Auditorium 5 minutes late so most of the seats were occupied by the other year groups.
Humeira: Appi there are 3 seats over there😊
Humeira said while pointing towards the left section of seats, where the last 3 seats of the row were empty. The girls made their way to the seats.
Zoya: Hey would it be okay if we sit here?😊
She asked the guy
Asad: Of course😊...😲
Asad stopped as soon as he saw his doe-eyed girl. Time once again froze for the 2 they were both lost in each others eyes, Zoya was looking at him with hatred and anger. It was that same guy she met on the plane, that same guy who made her tell him the biggest secret of his life, how many people has he told, probably half of the college knows by now that she is the principal's daughter. Zoya clenched her fists at her side and Asad gulped noticing this, Zoya was about to shout at him when Aalia interrupted from behind.
Aalia: Zoya what are you thinking about hurry up and sit down
Zoya moved along the sit which was right next to Asad she kept her hand in a fist trying hard not to punch him right then and there. While she was angry and cursing her fate Asad was happy and thanking God for saving his butt, at least she saw him in the Assembly so now he can talk to her and hopefully calm her down. Soon the Assembly started with the Vice Principal welcoming everybody.
Zoya: Who are you and what are you doing here?😡😡
She hissed into his ear.
Asad: Well my name is Asad...and funny story😃...you are going to laugh at this...I go to School here...isn't that hilarious😆.
He said while laughing a bit but only got a glare from her in return.
Zoya: How many people have you told?😡
Asad: Told what?😕
Zoya: Don't act innocent, about my so-called dad😡😡
Asad: Listen, you're secret is safe with me I will not tell anyone😊
Zoya: Yeah just like how you said you will never see me again😡
Before Asad could reply Haider came in.
Haider: Would you 2 shut up or otherwise we are going to get in trouble😡
Aalia: Haider tum😲
Aalia said recognizing his voice and joining in.
Zoya: You 2 know each other?😕
Aalia: Yeah that's my boyfriend, Haider😳
Ayaan: Yeah yeah we all know that and you 2 better not start making out again🤢
Humeira who was listening to the VP popped her head into the conversation and was speechless seeing the last person who spoke.
Humeira: TUM😲
Ayaan: TUM, tum phirse mera piche ker rahi ho?😡
Zoya: Humeira how do you know him?😕😲
Humeira: Appi yehi hai jisne wo plane wala aur jisne mujper coffee girahe thi😡
Zoya turning towards Asad
Zoya: Oh hello Mister ask your friend to apologies to my sister😡
Haider: What did I do?😕
Zoya: Not you the barber shop😡
Asad: He's not my friend he's my brother😔
Ayaan: Yeah and who are you?😕
Asad: Shes the girl I met on the plane
Ayaan: Oh you mean the hot one😉😉
Zoya: What did you call me?😡😡😡
Before Asad could reply they all heard a barking voice coming from the stage.
Mr. Siddique: AM I DISTURBING YOU GUYS?😡😡
The 6 immediately stood up and shook their heads but the only one who was looking at him straight in the eye was Zoya. All heads in the Auditorium turned towards them, the hall was now filled with snickers and whispers and glares were being thrown at them.
Mr. Siddique: MY OFFICE NOW😡😡
He barked out and they all made their way out the Auditorium and into his office.
In the office
Haider: Great going guys we got sent to the office and the school year hasn't even started this must be some sort of a record.😡
Ayaan: Why are you blaming us it was all her fault😡
Ayaan said pointing towards Humeira who was leaning against the bookcase.
Zoya: Hey tell your ass hole of a brother not to talk to my sister like that😡😡
Asad: Who are you calling an ass hole?😡😡
And like that the 2 couples started world war 3. Aalia and Haider were watching them with an amused smile playing on their lips they could sense that behind all that hatred there is something between them.
Aalia + Haider: STOP IT GUYS,
All 4 of them turned their heads toward Aalia and Haider.
Aalia: We just got sent to the principal office and now you 4 are fighting like cats and dogs😡
Before they could reply they heard the door opening and walked in the Prinicpal. They all arranged themselves in a line Ayaan on the far left next to Humeira who was next Zoya, Asad, Aalia and then Haider at the far right, Mr. Siddique took a good look at them and his eyes landed on Humeira and Zoya something about them seemed familiar, too familiar. But the he shook the feeling of seeing the hatred in Zoya's eye for him. Why does this girl hate me so much?
Zoya meanwhile felt as if those 17 years of no crying record was about to break today she could feel tears at the back of her eyes. She clenched her fists and bit her lips to hold them back. She was simply disgusted by the man standing in front of her, the same man who left her and her sister when they never had a mom, the same man who betrayed their mother. Asad who was standing next to Zoya, has been observing her closely, he saw her clench her hands and he did the first thing came to his mind he held her hand. She looked at him a bit startled by his action she looked down at their now entwined hands and noticed that they fit so perfectly with each other. She looked him in the eye, it was something about him that she didn't like, she didn't like his touch, it made her feel something in her heart, the same heart that has been dead since her father left her, the same heart that she wants to remain dead. She tried to free her hand but his grip only gets tighter. Finally giving up she let him hold her hand, out the corner of her eye she can see him smiling victoriously and for some reason she gets a smile as well. UGGGHHH WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?
Before she can think further Mr. Siddique roars at them
Mr. Siddique: Do you guys have any idea how disrespectful you were being?😡
They all bow their heads down feeling ashamed, but Zoya is the only one observing the good for nothing man standing in front of her.
Mr. Siddique: You can get expelled from this College, and you know the consequences of expulsion from here, no other College in the world would accept you.😡😡
Aalia: Please Sir we wont do anything like that again please
She begged.
Mr. Siddique: Fine since it is your first day here I'm letting you go, but if I here any complaints from any of your professors you will be kicked out of this school, no discussions on it. Now what are your names?😡
One by one they said their names
Haider: Haider Sheikh
Aalia: Aalia Aslam
Asad: Asad Ahmed Khan
Ayaan: Ayaan Ahmed Khan
Humeira: Humeira Zainub Farooqui
Mr. Siddique felt the world around him stop, he stopped noting down their names and looked into the eyes of his daughter. He knew that one day his daughters would comeback for him, he just knew that they can never hurt their dad. He wanted to tell them that what he did that day was forced out of him that he had to for their sake. But then he looked at his eldest daughter and saw the hatred in her eyes, she came forward in front of her Humeira and hissed her name.
Zoya: Zoya. Zaiunb. Farooqui😡
She said through gritted teeth she could tell that he recognized both of them, and by the tears she could also tell what he did 17 years ago he is sorry for it, but he can just go to hell for all she cares. Humeira and the others give weird looks to each other noticing the sudden tension in the room. They looked at their Principal and ask if he's okay.
Ayaan: Sir are you okay?😕
Mr. Siddique snapped out from the past and regained his posture in a stern voice.
Mr. Siddique: Yes I'm fine, you 6 will have after school detention for the next 2 weeks for an hour everyday. Your last period Professors will decide what you have to do.
With that he left, once again leaving his daughters, the pain he felt he couldn't describe.
Haider: ARE YOU f**kING KIDDING ME?😡
Ayaan: 2 weeks detention that's half a month😡
Humeira: Wait a go Einstein, you know how many weeks there are in a month😆
Ayaan: This is all you and your sisters fault😡
Humeira: How is it our fault? Right Appi
Humeira asked Zoya, but Zoya was too bust remembering her past. Asad once again gave her a gentle squeeze and she came back to reality, only now she had anger and she needed to get it out, FAST.
Zoya: Is there a gym here?😡
Ayaan: Umm yeah down the hall big blue door.😕
Zoya stormed out of the office with Asad following her close behind...
