First of all, this is a CONTINUATION of my previous AsYa OS : I Promise. Do read it to understand this one completely :D
Secondly, this one's dedicated to SmileyStar and havokhotline for not un-res-ing my comments on their behadd beautiful works for AGES. Like literally ! :P I'm SO sorry. My exams are on (this one's a stress-buster yaar ! 😆) and get over on saturday. You'll both have my bakbak there before Tuesday. (incase sat-sun frinds ghar pe na rehna de 😆)
To all the readers who do not understand Hindi /Urdu, you're free to ask for translation..however torturing that thought is for me.. 
The next morning, for the first time in ages, all the members of the Khan household woke up with a beautiful smile on their face. Yes, the rest always did, but it was a first for Asad. Reason being Zoya's beautiful smile and sweet confession from last night. He sat up straight. "You like games, don't you Miss Hoity-Toity Farooqi ?" he said, with a devilish smirk on his face. "Well then, game's on my dear. Lets PLAY !"
oOo
Zoya stretched her arms and yawned. A dazzling smile soon took its place as she remembered last night..her Jahapana.
"Arz kiya hai,
Jahapana Six-Packs ki khwaish hukum hai iss kaneez ke liye
Jahapana Six-Packs ki khwaish hukum hai iss kaneez ke liye
Bas itni raza hai ya Allah, vo aas-paas to ho use dekhne ke liye
Wah Wah ! Wah Wah !"
She giggled as she made her way to the washroom. Freshening up quickly, she rushed to the dining table fervently wishing her Jahapana hadn't left as of yet. She was pleasantly surprised to find him sitting in his usual spot, peacefully reading the newspaper and sipping his coffee as if he had all the time in the world. Just like old days. She pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. In her contemplatings, she completely missed the slightly smug and highly amused look on Asad's face as she proceeded toward the kitchen.
Still preoccupied in her thoughts and stealing occasional glimpses of her Jahapana's back, she put the salad in the glass and coffee in the bowl. Just as she was going toward the table, Najma came there looking all worked up.
"Zoya, Bhaijaan, aapne kahin meri book dekhi kya ? Kab se dhoond rahi hoon nahi mil rahi ! Aaj exam hai mera bhaijaan !" She wailed.
Before she could reply in the negative, Asad spoke up, "Tamatar, bag check ki ?" He gestured to the bag across her shoulder. "Aksar jo cheeze hum har jagah dhoondte phirte hai vo humaare paas hi hoti hai" he looked sideways at her and suppressed a smirk, "bas hume ilm (pata / to know) nahi hota.."
Zoya froze. Did he really just say that ? Kya kal raat ko unhone sabkuch sunn liya ? :O Nahi nahi, ittefaak tha ye. Coincidence. It had to be a coincidence ! He couldn't possibly have heard - the thought made her cheeks go red with embarrassment. But he did look at me, didn't he ? She wondered..Hushh ! She chided herself.Wishful thinking Zoya ! But what if he really HAD heard her ?
While she was busy calculating the probability that he had heard her yesterday night and mentally yelling curses at her math teacher for not teaching her probability well enough, Zoya felt someone shake her. She came out of her reverie to find Najma grinning madly. Even Jahapana had a slightly amused smile on his face. The kind that made her go weak in the knees while thousands of butterflies suddenly started working on "Mission Tickle Zoya's Insides Till She Flips Out".
When she looked at Najma with a confused expression, she Najma pointed toward the things in her (Zoya's) hand. She had put the SALAD in the GLASS and COFFEE in the BOWL. Unintentionally and instantaneously, she burst out laughing.
oOo
He knew that the moment Zoya saw him, she'd pinch herself to see if she was dreaming. Pagal! He thought and smiled fondly.
Unknown to Asad, and unnecessary to say, his Ammi was pleasantly surprised. But she did not ask him any questions. She was well aware of the fact that
it would put him on edge. She was anyway certain of the reason behind his moods 😉
Zoya entered the hall just after his Ammi left. And as he had rightly predicted, she did pinch herself on seeing him. "Ouch !" she muttered and then made a face and rubbed that spot 😆 Zoya, Zoya ! He shook his head slightly. His smirk spoke clearly of how much he was proud that knew his Miz New-York so well. He let her be when she went to the kitchen to get her breakfast.
Just then, Najma came and asked about a book of hers. It was an opportunity to tease Zoya, how in the world could he resist ? So he turned her words of yesterday and asked Najma to check her bag. It was just a fluke, to tease Zoya, a mission in which he obviously succeeded. Najma found the book in her bag and thanked him. Just as she was about to leave, she saw something and stopped.
"Zoya !" she said and burst out laughing. Zoya, who he was sure was still contemplating on whether he had heard her yesterday, remained unaware of her surroundings. Then he saw what she had done. Najma went to her and shook her lightly, still giggling. Even he couldn't refrain the amusement from showing on his face. Once Zoya realised what she had done, she burst out laughing. And after what seemed like ages, Asad Ahmed Khan found himself smiling to his heart's content as his eyes involuntarily became a little misty. He felt as if he had just achieved his most precious thing. He blinked twice, trying to get rid of the salty water that could ruin his 'Akdoo' reputation 😆
Zoya had indeed kept her promise. He could see her happiness reflecting in her eyes. And he also noticed how the glow on her face seemed to increase when she saw him smiling at her. Smiling genuinely, no smirk. So, when his Ammi came back then and wished everyone a "Good Morning", all he could think was truer words were never said. For him, no other morning could be as good and beautiful as this one.
oOo
Later in the afternoon, Zoya got ready to go and check the places near the Masjid again. Just as she hopped out of her room and down the stairs, she heard her Jahapana's strong and sexy voice informing his Ammi that he was leaving for the office. Both Najma and Zoya came to the hall simultaneously after that.
"Tamatar, all the best !" he gave Najma a side hug, while she smiled at her bhaijaan and then got back to studying in tension. "Tamatar, chal. Aaj main tujhe college drop kar deta hoon." Najma looked up him in pure gratitude. He smiled. And Zoya had goosebumps. Again.
As Zoya stood there with a slight smile on her face, admiring the scene, she suddenly heard her Jahapana say, "Miz Farooqi, kya aapko bhi kahin jaana hain ?Chaliye, humaare saath hi aa jaaiye. Hum aaoko bhi drop kar dete hai." Was it her, or was his voice really smug, teasing. She looked at Najma but she was busy studying. So she had no way to know. And no option either. "Vo main Masjid ke paas wale khandar ein jaa rahi thi..but its okay Mr.Khan, main chali jaoongi ! Vo aapke office ke bilkul ulti side aata hai, aapko taqleef uthane ki bilkul zarurat nahi hain !"
"Its okay Miz.Farooqi. Vaise bhi mujhe uss side ek site dekhne jaana hai..so I'll be fine. Lets go." he said, and headed out before she could protest any further. What was worse was that Najma sat at the back, and spread all her books on the back-seat. So Zoya had to sit in the front. In her nervousness and jumpiness, she again missed Asad asking her to wear her seat-belt. She nearly jumped in her seat when she felt Asad's face inches away from hers, her skin tingling with the feeling of him being so close.
oOo
Asad not-so-surprisingly realised how much fun he was having teasing Zoya. (Yeah, that was his language. Ours would be more like 'He was having the time of his life teasing Zoya 😉 😆 ) And so he deliberately timed his leaving for office with Najma and Zoya's going out. He was not going to miss such a golden opportunity of spending time with her and finding more occasions to tease her red.
And he got one pretty soon. In the car, he reminded Najma of her ID card. She hit her forhead lightly and ran into the house to bring it.
Usually, he was a calm, composed and reserved guy, but since Zoya Farooqi had entered his life through the window 🤣, logic had obviously gone right out through the door . (Yes, afterall logic is logical while Zoya is well..Zoya 😆) And so, when even after 3 tries of telling her to wear her seat-belt Zoya remained statue, he bent over to put her seat-belt in place himself. Obviously, she jerked to her senses when he went that close.
Unknown to the other, each of them was having a hard time controlling their feelings. Fortunately or unfortunately, right then, they heard Najma shouting to his Ammi that they were all leaving. He quickly put her seat belt in place and went back to his place before Najma came. Both Asad and Zoya released the breath neither knew they had been holding.
Both of them had felt the sparks when they were that close. There was definitely something between them. Something that they could neither define, nor deny..
Agar lamba laga to I'm shocked and glad :D
Chhota laga to dil chhota na karo tussi !
