He couldn't believe he had lost her forever. Asad stood in his room staring outside his window hoping to see her there, but ofcourse she was not here. She had left him...left him. He had pushed her too far and now she was gone.
2 days before
"ROHAN, truly jiju. He is coming here to India," Zoya screamed on the phone.
"Calm down Zoya. I will go deaf if you don't," Jiju laughed. "Yes Zoya he is coming to India. His parents actually were visiting so he decided to come along too. His parents are going to Mumbai but he said he is going to Bhopal for a few days to visit you. He actually should be reaching Bhopal any minute now. He had hold me not to tell you anything. He wanted to surprise you, but I accidentally spilled the beans. So act surprised when you see him okay. I gave him Dilshad's address."
Just then the bell rang, and Zoya shrieked. "Bye Jiju, gotta go, I think he is here. Say bye to appi too."
Zoya couldn't believe Rohan was here, her oldest friend. She had known him since middle school. They had grown up together, he knew practically everything about her. She practically skipped over to the door. A beaming smile on her face, not being able to contain her joy.
She opened the door and tried to act surprised. She screamed Rohan.
"He told you I see," were his first words.
"He who told me what," she tried to look confused, but failed utterly because she couldn't hide anything from him.
"You wanna try that again because that was an utter fail. You know I know you inside out, so why even bother lying to me. Forget that, come over here. Give me a hug."
Zoya jumped into his arms, forgetting everything else. A few moments later she heard someone clearing their throat, jahapana ofcourse.
"Ms. Faroqi, what are you doing, and who is this?"
She noticed his irritation and perhaps a hint of jealousy in his eyes. Well he did deserve it after the way he has been treating Tanveer and making her jealous.
"This is my childhood friend Rohan and this is jahapana six pack...I mean this is Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan. Rohan was visiting India and apparently he decided to surprise me."
"Zoya this is your childhood friend," she heard phuphi say as she came out of the kitchen. "Well come in, dont just leave him standing there Zoya."
Zoya saw jahapana roll his eyes.
Hours passed by as Zoya sat talking to Rohan, as he told her dirty little secrets to Najma and phuphi.
"Okay I should get going then," Rohan said as he got up.
"What you are going already," said Zoya.
"Where will you be staying though Beta, you dont have any family here."
Jahapana walked in the living room just then.
"Well I am only here for a few days to see Zoya, then I have to head back to Mumbai. So I was just going to stay in some hotel till then. You can come along if you want Zoe. Stay with me at a hotel for a few days. We can have so much fun."
Mr. Khan choked on the water he was trying to gulp. After a few moments he spoke up "what.. no." He seemed baffled. "You can stay here, but she is not going anywhere with you," he said with determination as if he would fight to keep Zoya here. Zoya just stared at him, astonished that he would even care after the way he had been ignoring her and gushing over Tanveer."I mean she is our responsibility. What would we say to her jiju and appi."
