Chapter 4
There in the office, Asad was not even able to do an inch of work. Ever after the meeting has ended and he had some free time in the office, his mind was replaying the same scene again and again. How Rashid and the other members brought the proposal. while he was able to again and again listen those words - "Love?" "Asad". He had a clear signal. He loves her, she loves him. Then what is the problem? He don't know. These feelings are alien to him. It is true that he is emotionally challenged. And that is what holding him from confessing his love. And he knew, this was the only place where he lack. "Get a grip on your feelings Asad. You knew what it will lead to. Don't you?" chided his mind yet again. He wanted to run away... away from all these things but there, his mind and his heart were not approving at a single point. His mind shouted at him to shut away his feelings while his heart wanted him to go and confess it all! Oh boy, how much he wanted that all this would have never happened in his life. Ever since Zoya had entered his life, the wall he had made around his heart is breaking down. It is like there's only a single row left and well just a move and the wall is completely broken. Zoya had done something to him which he doubt anyone would ever be able to do. She had made him open up to her; at-least a few times. He had made him care for her, run for her like his life depend on her very existence. Well that was the truth at-least. His life now depended on her existence. A small scar on her fragile body will have him freaking out - though he don't show it normally but his heart ached at that sight. Sigh, he needed her. For once, he wanted to listen to his heart and not his mind but will she understand him? He doubt!

Zoya sat on her bed highly confused and irritated. How much she hated the fact that her tongue slipped and that too in-front of him. "Arrhhh You are an idiot Zoya! A high level idiot!!" she thought irritated. How is she to face him after what she spoke out in the morning... She doubt she will have up the confidence to face him. A look at his face will surely let her cheeks turn a crimson red color. Oh boy, how is she going to manage? "Isse badiya toh you should have said a yes to Dost Zoya!" chided her mind while her heart reported back, "Oh puh-lease. Don't even think of it Zoya. It will change every equation of your life. You don't love Ayaan then how could you say a yes?". "But Ayaan does!" replied her brain. "Since when?" her heart shouted back. "Oh he doesn't? How can you say that? His actions speak up damn it!" her brain shouted as Zoya kept her palms on her ears. This was not bearable. Soon a thought strike her mind, "What if Ayaan do like her?". "No, you can't break his heart if he loves you. You need to confirm it Zoe!" she thought as she left for his room.
As she approached his room she saw him looking at her photo and tears trickling down his eyes. And the words he spoke next was enough to let her knew that he loves her. "Damn you can't let him be like this Zoya." she thought. "But Asad? I love him! How could I just..." her thought trailed off as she went into the memories of how he saved her from all the bad things, how he was there to save her whenever she was in danger... how he cared for her when she was almost going to be dead in mangalpur. No! She can't do this. She is not going to be sandwiched between the two brothers. She loved Asad, she loves him now and she always will! Why is she even trying to think of Ayaan. Maybe, because he is her friend... no good friend indeed! But that doesn't mean she will sacrifice her love for him. She had loved Asad from the very beginning and she is not going to sacrifice her love for Ayaan in any case. She knew Asad reciprocated the same feelings... it's all just a realization away. Once, he knew he loves her, he will never leave her. And she knew this very thing. Wiping up her tears which had started to flow down unknowingly, she left for her room. She need a break. A big one indeed! Locking herself in her room, she let out a heavy sigh and tried making her to sleep.

Asad came back home soon as he was not able to concentrate even a bit. Surely, Dilshaad and Najma were shocked to see him this early. "Asad, you back so early?" questioned Dilshaad. "Haan Ammi wo baxs sar thoda dard kar raha tha so thought of taking some rest." replied Asad. Dilshaad caressed his forehead and pecked it , "Take some rest. I will send up some coffee. Kay?" she smiled at him and left to make some coffee for her workaholic son. She smiled as she had seen him changing since Zoya walked in their dead lifes and lightened them. She knew since the beginning that both of them had something for the other in their heart. Just the difference is that one had realized it while the other is ignoring it to the best. She chuckled at her son's behavior. "Kya hua Dilshaad?" asked Shireen as she entered the kitchen ad continued, "Kya soch rahi ho?".. Dilshaad smiled and replied, "Zoya!" She had a smile playing on her lips as she took her name. She was like a daughter to her, daughter whom she loved from the bottom of the heart. Maybe, more than she love her children, she loved Zoya. "Zoya?" asked Shireen confused. Dilshaad nodded her head left and right and murmured "nothing". With that she took the coffee cup and left for Asad's room. As she entered his room, she found him fast asleep. She smiled seeing him, pu the cup on the table beside his bed and caressed his head. The change in Asad had made her love Zoya more. How much she wanted Asad to tie the knot of his life with Zoya. Only if he was ready for it. And she knew, it is going to take a lot of time but she will wait... wait till she will see her son and Zoya getting married a day... she just waited for that single day... day which will lighten up her son's life fully.

At night, Asad woke up feeling a bit better. He looked at the right side to see his mother lying near him, sleeping and a mug of coffee on the table. He soon felt guilty as he had indirectly troubled his mother for a small thing. He came out of the room and saw Zoya passing by. He remembered the words she spoke in the morning. He needed an answer right away...
Zoya felt someone push her at a side. She tried shouting but someone covered her mouth. The touch was enough for her to knew who it was. She looked up to see a pair of questioning eyes which do had passion in them. Passion she was scared of but not to say that she love seeing this side of him too! "Asad aap?" she spoke out as he removed his hand knowing she won't shout now. She didn't noticed that she called him by his name but he did. He smiled hearing his name from her mouth. He inched forward, close to her ear as she shivered under his touch. "Love? Asad. Huh?" he questioned dangerously close to her ear as shivers went down her spine. She lowered her gaze trying not to meet his intense gaze. "Look at me Zoya!" He said making her look at him. "Wo..." Zoya fidgeted.
