THE FAILED ATTEMPTS OF ASAD AHMED KHAN
"Ammi woh bechari nhi hai."Asad retorted.
"Asad but you should atleast listen to her..."
"Listen to her? really Ammi?", Asad asked turning around to face his already distressed mother, "Ammi Miss Faarooqi has once again accused Tannu of lying! She has no right to do so!"
Dilshaad placed her hand on Asad's shoulder and tried to pacify him,"Asad aur kya Zoya tumhari kuch nhi lagti?"
Asad lowered his eyes to avoid meeting his mother's gaze as he recalled almost all encounters with Zoya from their fights to their falls.
"Uh...woh...actually...ammi"
"Oho Asad mai janti hun ki tum Zoya se mohobbatt karte ho."
Dilshaad paused for a while to see Asad's eyes widen in response and continued nonetheless with a smile,"Aur woh bhi tumse mohobbatt karti hai Asad isliye toh woh yeh sab kuch kar rhi hai...sirf tumhare liye.Uska tarika galat hoga lekin uske iraade galat nhi hain."
Asad continued to stare at her mother still wondering as to how she could have figured out all of this even before he could admit it to himself that he loved his Zoya.
Wait! Did I just say she is MINE and that I LOVE her!But what if i hurt her like HE did?
Dilshaad cupped her son's face as she sensed his confusion.
"Asad beta im your Ammi I always know everything whether its about you or Najma.Now go and apologize to her and tell her that you love her.And please dont you ever think that you will hurt her because you are not like your abbu."
Asad longingly looked at her...she had always been her support and could read him so easliy.She kissed his forehead and ruffled his hair lovingly.He hugged her tightly as his eyes welled up.
I am not like him.I would never hurt her.
Asad sat on his bed with his head in his hands.He dint know what was happening.It had been a week now and still he wasnt able to tell her.He closed his eyes as he recalled his own Failed Attempts in the past 7 days.
Failed attempt #1
Asad softly knocked at Zoya's bedroom door.
"Come in Mr Khan"Zoya shouted from inside.
"You knew it was me?"Asad asked as he closed the door and turned around to face her, shock written all over his face.
"Uhh..yeah..uh...who else it could be apart from you...uhh I mean you practically stood outside the door for 10 minutes and then you finally knocked.Maybe you were thinking ki kaunse angle se knock karne se lagega ki tameez se knock kiya hai,"Zoya laughed nervously as she thought about her own bizarre 'made up excuse'.
Asad shook his head.
"Its not like that Miss Faarooqi. ..woh actually...I had to tell you something."
" What is it Mr Khan?"Zoya looked here and there as she thought that he would shout at her again.She finally spotted the lone packet of chips lying on her bed and grabbed it and opened it in a swift motion making some of them fall on the bed.
Asad's tongue clicked in disapproval.
Did i really fall for her? Never mind.
"Uhh...Miss Faarooqi woh actually you know hum ek doosre se kitne alag hain."Asad started but he felt anger seep in slowly through his veins as he saw Zoya messily eating the chips.
"Ehhss"Zoya replied her mouth full of chips.
Asad massaged his forehead in frustration.
"Aap aur mai bahut zyada alag hain Miss Faarooqi...aur"Asad tried to speak but his eyes kept darting towards her messed up room, her clothes thrown here and there on the bed, pieces of paper lying on the floor and when Zoya wiped her oily hands onto her pants he couldnt take it anymore.
"Miss Faarooqi aap yeh kya kar rhi hain aise thodi khaate hain.And cant you wash your hands.Why are you spoiling your pants!And yeh kamre ki kya haalat bana rakhi hai!"Asad shouted as his OCD kicked in making him completely forget the purpose for which he had come.
Failed attempt #2
Asad sat at the dining table sipping his black coffee.He was once again thinking of various ways to confess his love when Zoya made her way to the table.
Dilshaad and Najma were busy in the kitchen giving Asad some alone time with Zoya.
Asad picked up the newspaper and started reading it inorder to avoid looking at her.She was not talking to him after his OCD filled lecture.
What the hell! I picked up Bhopal Times in haste instead of Economic Times!But now I have to read it!
"Uhh Miss Faarooqi have you heard of the song which was shot with Imraan Khan?"Asad asked as something in the not-so-interesting-newspaper-for-him caught his eye.He asked keeping his voice low and hiding behind the newspaper.
Zoya literally choked the water she was drinking.
Mr Khan asking about songs! allah miyaan what's wrong with him!
"Mr Khan are you ok?Not feeling well?"
"JUST ANSWER the question Miss Faarooqi."Asad stated visibly toning down his anger.
"The list is long Mr Khan.Which song are you talking about?"Zoya replied after recovering from her initial shock.
"Uhh not Imraan Khan.He was actually in the movie and Aamir Khan was picturised only for the song.Do you know that song?"
What is he upto!
Zoya's eyebrows wriggled in confusion.
"What are you trying to say Mr Khan?"
"Arre that song Miss Faarooqi I hate you like..."Asad started to sing but couldnt complete as Zoya stood up abruptly.
Asad finally put the paper down and looked sheepishly towards her.
"Is this a new way of telling me that you hate me Mr Khan! You know what I HATE YOU!"and with that she stormed off towards her room.
"pura toh sunke jaati Miss Faarooqi,"Asad thought to himself as Dilshaad and Najma joined him oblivious of why Zoya left the table.
Failed Attempt #3
Zoya collided with Asad and out of habit his hands snaked around her waist breaking her fall.
As his eyes bore deeper into hers he said,"Miss Faarooqi I have to tell you something."
Zoya who was affected by the close proximity as his breath fanned her face just nodded.
"Woh actually...woh aap mai aap janti haina hum kitne alag hain."
Zoya closed her eyes in annoyance.
When will he get over it!
"Yesss Mr Khan! so?"
"So...uhh woh I..."
Even after a few minutes when he couldnt get past 'Woh Actually' Zoya straightened herself up rubbing her neck with her right hand.
"Rehne dijiye Mr Khan.meri neck pain ho rhi hai ab.aur mujhe pta hai hum alag hain bahut bahut zyada alag! bas khush!"
Another week passed with no progress.The list of his Failed Attempts just kept on increasing.Asad finally walked out of his room with a resolve.It was just too much! He had to express what he felt about Zoya, to her atleast! He wasnt even able to sleep properly which frustrated him, it was Now or Never he had to do it.His head was spinning his heart was out of control and his best friend Tannu just kept hovering over him all the time.
He had wanted to knock at her door but suddenly an idea struck him and his eyes glinted with mischief.Even after 15 minutes Asad couldnt figure out how to climb through the window.He dint want the window to get dirty so he removed his sleepers but then his toe kept getting hurt due to the irregular surface of the the window.
Afterall it was Zoya's room window.
Luckily for him Zoya was in the washroom.Asad tried to come up with something as he heard Zoya unlocking the door.
To hell with the window!
Asad quickly wore his sleepers and raised his right leg towards the window and grasping it with his hands.
Two things happened simultaneously:
One Zoya came out of the washroom wiping her face with the towel blocking her view of her room.
Two Asad landed in the room with a thud.
Zoya immediately looked up and staggered backwards the towel falling down in the process.
"WHAT THE HELL MR KHANN! aap yahaan itni raat ko woh bhi aise!"
Asad was dusting his hands silently to get rid of the dust when he heard Zoya shouting.
"Aap mein koi tameez ya taihzeeb hai ki nhi Mr Khan! itni raat ko ek ladki ke kamre woh bhi khidki se!"Zoya shouted as she walked towards Asad.
"Miss Faarooqi...aap galat samajh..."Asad tried to quiten her down fearing that she would wake up everyone else.
"Acha mai galat samajh rhi hun aur jo apne kiya woh thik tha...aise raat ko...mere kamre mein..."
Zoya knew she was over reacting but this was just too much like really too much.She was really angry with him.Firstly since his so called Tannu came he had been just concerned about her.
Really her heart questioned but she ignored it.Then when she had tried to warn him about her he had always shouted at her and last week he had come up with different ways to remind her of how different they were.
Really her heart questioned but she ignored it.Then when she had tried to warn him about her he had always shouted at her and last week he had come up with different ways to remind her of how different they were.
BUT a big But she had been patient...she had tried to take it all in even though she was jealous and felt disgusted and unwanted.And now once again Asad was here to scold her that too IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT SNEAKING IN THROUGH THE WINDOW EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR WAS OPEN! This was the limit.Her last string of patience broke and she kept shouting at him not giving him a single chance to explain.
"Toh ab aap raat ko specially uthke aye haina mujhpe chilaane ke liye! bas ab mai apke aur tanveer ke beech mein nhi aungi mai chali jaungi humesha ke liye...aap toh yehi chahte haina..."Zoya being Zoya kept on blabbering.
Asad massaged his forehead again.This wasnt going as per his plan.He had to do something that too quickly.
Asad grabbed Zoya by her arms and pulled her towards him.He dipped his head down and planted a kiss on her lips.Zoya was shocked at the sudden turn of events not quite believing what was happening but as Asad continued his ministrations Zoya finally gave in and closed her eyes smiling through the kiss and ran her hands through his hair.Asad who was too happy by her response snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her closer if that was possible.
Zoya pulled back in a rush not because she was out of breath but due to the realisation that dawned upon her.
"Wait a minute...the whole last week you have been trying to tell me that you love me?"Zoya asked her arms still around his neck.
Asad slowly and gently removed her hands from his neck and took a step away from her eventually confusing her.
"Actually Miss Faarooqi I havent said that yet!"Asad smirked.
Zoya's mouth formed a perfect 'O' as Asad's words sunk in.She quickly grabbed a pillow and threw at him but she obviously missed the target.Asad laughed pointing a finger at her.
"Arghh I hate you Mr Khan!"Zoya turned away from him.
"Like you love me right? Because I love you Zoya."Asad whispered in her ear from behind.
Zoya shivered at the close proximity. Her eyes brimmed with tears.
So he did love me afterall and not that Tannu!
That was the only thing she could think before Asad twirled her around landing her right into his arms and kissed her again with all the love that he had always felt for her.Zoya felt so different and alive as Asad deepened the kiss.
Why dint I feel like that when he kissed me just a few minutes back that too for the first time, her heart questioned.
Because you were busy remembering his failed attempts, her mind chided.
Because you were busy remembering his failed attempts, her mind chided.
Oh stop it both of you and let me focus! Zoya shouted in her mind and responded to Asad with much fervour. Tanveer could obviously be handled later.The two lovers for now basked in the glory of their kiss that had been overdue for long.
