Part 4

The sound of muffled voices woke Zoya up, who was not particularly in a deep slumber. After getting over the shock when Mr Khan effortlessly leaned into her shoulder, almost fast asleep, it took only a few moments before she herself closed her eyes.

She slowly opened her eyes and blinked to adjust to the brightness of the room, the young sun rays beaming in through the windows. She looked to the right, the source of the voices, and saw the nurse talking to' PHUPI???

'Phupi!!' she exclaimed, as she tried to get up.

Be careful Zoya.. woh Asad' her Phupi said softly, pointing towards Zoya's lap, as she sat up on her bed.

Zoya looked down to see Mr Khan in her lap, holding onto her kurti, sleeping as sound as a baby.

'Allah miyan! Whats wrong with Mr Khan!'

'Wait Allah miyan whats wrong with me?! Phupi how are you feeling? And you, Miss Nurse! Why didn't you wake us up?' she pointed her finger and squinted her eyes at the nurse.

'Beta main theek hoon! Painkillers helping a lot so now I have no pain. Aur Najma told me how tired you were, and how you were here all night so I thought I'd let you sleep. Besides I know you two might not have been able to sleep all night. I'm fine, dear, don't worry'

'Najma? She's here already? Aur how long did you regain consciousness? And this son of yours! I'm going to wake him up.'

'Ji. She was came about half an hour ago.' Just then Najma walked back in. She snickered at AsYa's position but then ran to her mom and sat on her bed.

'Nurseji, meri Phupi kaise hai?' ' She's fine, don't worry. In fact you can take her home this afternoon, once you guys fill out her papers. Before you take her, the doctor with meet with you and go through some do's and don'ts because as it is, she's okay but still a bit weak and needs to be taken proper care of'

'Acha thank you.'

'Main bas chalti hoon. You can sit here with her, and when Mr Asad Ahmed Khan.. uhh.. wakes up I guess you can proceed to take her home. The doctor will be with you all in a short time.' The nurse then left.

'Thank God you're okay Phupi!' said Zoya. 'We were so worried. From now don't stress, and don't do any work, Najma and I are here na. Anyways, we want to take you home as soon as possible so I'm going to wake up Mr Khan okay? Besides I want to come help you.'

'Acha theek hai Zoya'

'Mr Khan!' Zoya bent and whispered to him. No response.

'Mr Khan!!!' she shook him slightly.

'Jahanpana Six packs, Wake up!' This time she received a groan from him.

'Bechara Asad, he looks so tired. I'm surprised he's actually sleeping. Zoya, you must've got my stubborn son to get some rest hain na? Thank you. Waise bhi, you must be very comfortable' Dilshad joked, her voice still dragged a bit. Zoya could tell she was still a bit out of it, but of course she wouldn't show it.

'Phupi, think about yourself. You've just gotten up and joking already? When we get home you have to listen to us. You need rest so you can completely recover quickly. Aap nahi jante what we went through. Ab chalo, Najma, help me wake up this sleeping log of this brother of yours!'

Dilshad smiled, she knew how much her children loved her and cared for her. She leaned back on her bed and nodded in agreement to Zoya, and motioned to Najma to help Zoya with her task at hand.

'Bhaijan!' Najma called loudly.

'Ammi!' Asad exclaimed as he awoke with a jump. He woke up with such a jolt that he bumped his head on Zoya's.

'Ouchh!' both grunted, holding their heads.

Asad nearly dropped on the floor when he realized, in between rubbing his head, that he was in Zoya's lap. '. What the''.

He jumped up, and stood, placing one hand behind his back and the other he used to straighten out his shirt. He quickly paced over to his Ammi and hugged her.

'Ammi, aap' aap theek toh hain na?'

'Haan beta, main bilkul theek hoon. In fact I get to go home today! Please go get the papers ready, I don't like staying here.' Dilshad whined.

'Theek hai Ammi. Lekin are you sure you are okay? How's your chest feeling? In fact maybe you should stay until you are perfectly fine.'

'Mr Asad Ahmed Khan' The doctor walked in, and cut Asad short on his lecture.

'Ji Dr. Meri ammi ki tabiyat kaise hain?'

'Vo theek hai,lekin thoda kamzoor hain. You have to take very good care of her. Make sure she's not stressed and she has no tension. And don't let her move around too much or over work herself in this first week or two. Pay heed to this, and also im prescribing some medicines and vitamins for her. Don't worry she'll be back to normal very soon. Aur abb tum chalo meri saath. You have to sign the signature papers.'

Zoya and Najma left the hospital earlier than Asad, who stayed with Dilshad till afternoon, when she was discharged. Mariam and her Bhaijan stopped by and spent that time with Asad and Dilshad. After few exchanges, Mariam left with her bhaijan to go back to his home.

At Khan Villa:

'Najma, do you think Phupi will like this soup?' Zoya asked cheerfully as she poured the pot of soup into a serving dish.

'Of course she will, and besides, even if she doesn't, she has to eat it. It's healthy and she needs these kind of food now doesn't she?

'Haan woh toh hai. Acha soup tayar hain, lekin vo banner aur''

'Cake!' Najma added.

'Haan cake, I'll just call Mr Khan and ask him to pick it up.. Oh no, then Phupi will know! Acha Tamatarr, you stay here. I'm going to go out and get cake, a banner and flowers if possible okay!'

'Okayy, I'll call Bhaijan and ask him to stall a bit if he can, just in case you run a bit late.'

'Theek hai Najma! And don't worry I'll make sure and be back before they arrive, or else your dear Bhaijan will eat my head off'

'MY dear bhaijan? You mean yours na?' Najma teased.

'Allah miyan what's wrong with you Tamatar!?'

'Oh come on Zoya, you can tell me! Come on spill the beans already! I've seen the way you two act around each other!'

'Tamatar! I don't know what you're talking about' Zoya said defensively. When Najma gave her a 'seriously -_- ?' look, she continued. 'Well, I mean I guess we just don't fight that much anymore.'

'Just that? Zoya ugh you are impossible!'

'Kya hua? What do you want me to say?'

'Zoya, I just want to know if there's really something brewing between you and Asad Bhaijan or if I am just imagining things. I mean come on, haven't you noticed a change in him, well towards you? Ever since you came around, okay you two got off at a rough start but recently he's been warming up to you. I've noticed it, sometimes he just stares at you, sometimes he smile, he seems less uptight. I know he treats you really badly sometimes but since when does Asad Ahmed Khan apologize and express himself to you. I used to suspect it, but after you told me what happened at the dargah, I think I'm sure he feels for you. And you, since when were you this concerned about him. I'm just asking because you two, no matter how much you fight or any of that, you guys seem to have a lot more going on. Do you have feelings for him, Zoya?'

'Vo'. Main'.vo toh kuch nahi. I mean' Zoya trailed off.

'You know what, forget it. Anyways, jao aur come back quickly.' Najma ended this discussion as Zoya didn't seem like she was going to say anything.

Zoya pensively thought for a moment before shrugging, and then heading out. She knew Najma was right but right now she didn't want to think about that. She knew things were different now, HE was different now but she shook her head and walked out.

An hour later, she returned home to an excited Najma.

'Ugh these stupid people didn't have any cakes at the bakery yaar. Allah miyan what's wrong with them'

'Oh no Zoya what shall we do now!'

'Oh ho Tamatar, don't fret. Mera naam Zoya Farooqui hai aur mein kuch bhi kar sakte hoon. I'm going to bake a cake for Phupi' She said righteously.

'Really okay! But just don't bake any of Bhaijan's belongings into it okay As it is, he seems to have simmered down when it comes to you, we wouldn't want to spoil that now would we? ;)' Najma teased.

'Tamatar!!! HMPH That was just a one time thing! Wait and see how awesome this cake is gonna be'

'Haha I don't doubt you, Zoya bhabhi' Najma winked.

Zoya bhabhi' That doesn't sound so bad. Hmmm

Zoya's thoughts brought a smile on her face. Najma cleared her throat,and kept raising her eyebrows. 'Kya hua Zoya? Heard something nice?'

'Nahi, nothing like that! Bas uhi' Zoya covered up.

'Hmmm ya, I must have just imagined you smiling and blushing' Najma said matter of factly.

'Pretty much, Tamatar. And anyways you go arrange these flowers and hang this banner up. I'm gonna get started on the cake.' Zoya replied playfully.

'one cup of flour''1/3 cup of cocoa powder'' on she went, calling out the recipe from her ipad as she added the ingredients to a bowl. She tried her best not to make mess. Surprisingly, the cake was in the oven only 20 minutes after. Talk about speed. Then, she thought, Phupi will eat the soup, lekin main Mr Khan aur Najma.. hum kya?

'Najma!!! Najmaaa!!' she shouted.

'Zoya kya hua?'

'Uhh how is the banner coming along? And the flowers?'

'The banner is up, and the flowers are all set up the Ammi's favourite vase. We'll put it in her room okay? But what's the matter?'

'Acha. Good now you can help me. Actually I was thinking, that Phupi will eat soup right, but what will we eat.'

'Zoya, we'll eat soup too. You made a lot you know'

'Lekin Mr Khan.. I think we should make something else. He would want something heavier'

'Hmm then, if it's for Mr Khan, you definitely should make something' Najma winked.

'Acha I'm not saying anything. I'll talk to you later about this!!!' she then stomped off laughing to the kitchen again to make something.

'hm wait Najmaaa!! What does Mr Khan like '..I mean besides black coffee? If it were up to me, I would just make pizza but we all know how Mr Khan would LOVEEE that!'

'Actually that's not a bad idea, I don't mind eating pizza, you love pizza and Asad Bhaijan' well this could be a test for him. Also I'm sure if he tries pizza you made he might change his mind about it' she giggled.

Zoya rolled her eyes. But then that struck her. Maybe it would be nice to see if Mr Khan would eat pizza she made. If not, he'll get irritated like he used to , so she kinda didn't have anything to lose right? Pshh oh who was kidding, after their recent moments she things to lose but somehow she was sure he wouldn't mind. Something had grown between them that made her confident she wouldn't hear too many of his scoldings anymore.

'Not bad Tamatarr. Nice idea! That's what I'll do.'

'Yeh hui na baat!' Najma chirped as they started getting out cheese tomatoes mushrooms and their other favourite ingredients for pizza.

Five dashes of flour on the flour later, the pizzas were accompanying the cake in the oven.

Najma and Zoya were hungry so they snacked on some samosas meanwhile.

Around one pm, the car was in the driveway, and Zoya and Najma awaited their arrival at the door impatiently.

As soon as Mr Khan and Dilshad entered, they screamed ' WELCOME HOME AMMIII/PHUPI'

'Ya allah, yeh sab! Shukriyaa' she said as she looked around and saw the banner. She was showered with hugs before she was taken to her room to rest. Asad sat beside her along with Najma. Zoya re-entered the room with soup for Dilshad. Asad helped her sit up while Zoya fed her.

Asad smiled and had warm eyes at the scene in front of him. Zoya feeling his ammi, taking care of her. Not to mention that she bought her favourite flowers for her. She was really amazing. Even after he slapped her, a mere apology was enough. She made their house into the home. And once again she was spreading her sunshine.

'Mr Khan?' Zoya broke him out of it.

'Haan Zoya' he replied.

'Get Phupi's medicine and vitamins, okay? She should have them after she drinks her soup' Mr Khan excused himself to go get the medicines.

'Soup bahut acha hai Zoya' Dilshad said, and Zoya smiled happily.

Thanks Phupi!'

She set down the bowl on the table and gave Dilshad some juice to drink. Asad brought the medicine and Dilshad took them. Then they proceeded to tuck her in and let her rest. Zoya went to the kitchen to check on the cake and pizza and start to make frosting. Meanwhile Asad and Najma stayed with Dilshad until she fell asleep.

Zoya had now taken the cake out the oven when Mr Khan and Najma entered the kitchen. She saw Najma yawning. Poor thing she must have not gotten proper sleep last night.

'Najma, tum jao, go and take some rest. You must be tired.'

'But what about the cake, and pizza?'

'Don't worry Tamatar, I'll manage. Waise bhi Zoya Farooqui naam hai mera. Is there anything I can't do?'she laughed, 'You go okay'

And Najma left, leaving Asad in the kitchen with Zoya.

He noticed she seemed worn down but she would never admit. Instead she was cooking dinner for them, and cake for his Ammi. Wait wait wait dinner? PIZZA?
