Hey QH-ites!
I'm new to this forum and to the show, have completed watching the episodes online last week and have been watching it ever since. I'm absolutely in love with the three main leads and the equations between them.
Here's a small attempt of mine at writing a One-Shot on AsYa.
Feel free to comment and criticize.
Read on. . .
A Reason To Smile
He walked into his room and placed his laptop on the desk. He stiffened as he heard distinct laughter from his mother's room across the hall.
Out of curiosity he walked towards the room and pushed the door slightly, he could see his mother throw her head back and laugh heartily and his sister, double on the bed with laughter. And the reason behind their laughter - Ms. Zoya Farooqi.
As usual, she was her lunatic self and was entertaining his mother and sister with some tale of hers, which they obviously found funny, given the fact that she enacted like a limping old man in the middle and also had more expressions on her face than even Jim Carrey could manage.
He observed her keenly, her big eyes were so full of expressions and feelings, that it almost felt as if she was an open book.
But he knew there was more to the girl, than the side she showed to people.
When he had first met her, he was drawn towards her, but as she came and settled in his house and he was completely vexed up with her constant chitter chatter and her troublesome nature. She always swore that she never meant to trouble anyone purposely, but she always seemed to be right in the middle of all the troubles.

Looking up he saw the happy smiles on the faces of his family members, she had won them over with her child like ways and goofy nature and he knew that he had not seen them so happy in the recent past.
Watching them from afar, he wondered how well she seemed to connect to them, she was more like the daughter of the house. He never could make his mother and sister smile so much. Not that he didn't love them or that they didn't know about it, it was just that he was not much of a smiling person himself.
She was still the troublesome and arrogant person she had first been, but he seemed more accustomed to her, he was more used to her presence now, her ways didn't alarm him so much now, nor did her over-imaginative thinking.
He chuckled silently remembering the time when she had thought of him as an undercover agent, seriously there was no way to understand how this girl came up with such ideas.
And it wasn't like she was entirely brainless, there were little things she did, little things which swelled his heart with an unknown and never felt before affection towards her. She made his family happy, she took care of them and even took care of him in her own way, though she was always blabbering too much to pay heed to her goodness, but nevertheless, there was something innocent and good about her which compelled him to think about her more these days.
And her relentless urge to find out about things and have her way, always got her on the wrong side, but he came to regard her spirit with respect, as it was one of the few things they shared in common. And she wasn't mellow or all girly like these women he met often, she was free-spirited and gutsy! He had begun to care about her, though he didn't like to admit that fact to himself. He did start observing her more and everything about her seemed to surprise him.
He smiled again. . .
At the very same instant Zoya looked towards the door, and stopped her hand movement mid-air in shock and gasped! His mother and sister turned towards the door and regarded him with skeptical expressions.
He replaced his smile quickly with the expression he had been wearing for almost a decade now and schooled his features and walked away to his room.
As he placed his hand on the door handle to open his room's door, he heard Zoya saying in a shocked voice "Mr.Khan was smiling?"
Najma's laughter followed.
And yet again, he smiled imagining her shocked expressions.
He had come to know her quite well by now, but she still had a lot to know about him.
May be, he would let down his walls around her. . .
And on this positive note he got back to his work again.
