My ASYA STORY: The Hope (SUSPENDED!!!)) - Page 16

Since the last two days, zoya tried to keep herself occupied by doing the only thing she masters the most " swords practice". yes she wanted to stop thinking about Assad, tanveer, the ceremony...

Zoya in her rooms practicing: " you know what huyam? it's so simple i'm no going, i'm not going to the ceremony. Allah miyan what's wrong with me? it took me so long time to came up with that simple solution? I'm not going to his ceremony, i'm not going to Assad-tanveer Ceremony. ASSAD-TANVEER? It doesn't sound well hena?

Huyam smiling at her : " yeah personnaly i prefer ASYA?

Zoya : ASYA?

Huyam : it sounds well hena ?

Zoya :" Yes but ..." then a moment of reflexion " you mean Assad-ZOYA? yeah you're a genius. She smiled

Huyam kept laughing at her princess innocence.

Zoya : " wait wait, what i'm happy for? it doesn't' mean anything ? then with confused face she resumed her practicing

Then she stoped and said " Huyam what do you think of me? i mean am I beautiful? i mean can'i make men go crazy?

Huyam smirked then said: " why princess , why do you ask ? it's the first time you think that way?

Zoya: " because the monster Assad thinks that i can't wear women clothes and act as women?

Huyam: " well i think he is right"

Zoya: " allah miya what's wrong with you huyam? since we came here i'm doubting your loyalty huyam"

huyam smiled again : " princess let me finish, if any man sees you that way a beautiful princess with a sword and on top of that matsers some killing moves I'm sure this man will loose his life to you, and if this same princess wears some ... remember what happened the last time you wore women clothes ... te king akbar almost killed his soldier"

Zoya: " well I was wrong too, I shouldn't go there wearing that outfit aware about their meeting"

Huyam :" this means that with women clothes you can make anyone go crazy and more then that just like you're making men go crazy and not any men"

Zoya: " what do you mean? Wait wait, Forget about that, tell me if you brought that outfit with you?"

Huyam: " not only that one, many of them for these kind of occasion" huyam said while remembering the orders she got from king akbar " take everything she may need there, knowing her she will not ask anyone for anything".

Zoya so excited : "Perfect , wait and watch King khan?"

Dilshald, Nedjma and tanveer welcomed the grandma Queen, Maryam and her husband. Tanveer is so happy to see them specially the dady queen. Dilshald was not that excited to see her queen mother, she remembered everytime she was there and how dramatic things went between the randma queen and her grandson assad. Dilshald has bad feeling about this sudden visit. Everyone changed greetings.

Dilshald: " My queen , let me accompagny to your rooms and have some rest, you must be tired"

grandma: " Where is my grandson the king.

Dilshald: " the king has some important meetings with his ministers, he will come see you as soon as he finishes"

grandma: " if that's the case, lets go to my rooms princess, actally I have an important issue I need to discuss with you"

Dilshald not comfortable with that, said in her mind: "it will aready start"

The grandma queen was against dilshald and Rashid marriage, she wanted her only daughter to marry a prince from royal family not a commoner, and after teir split , she made her anderstand theses are the results when you act against your mother wishes . since then the tensions between mother and daughter increased and the distance between them grown up. Assad of course is aware about all this witch made his relationship with his grandma a little awkward.

grandma: " Princess, you're smart enough to know that I'm here for a reason"

Dilshald: " you don't have a reason to be here my queen"

grandma: " I'm here to choose a queen for the king, he is old enough to have a queen and think about a heir"

Dilshald was doubting that but now it's confirmed : " yes my queen , your're right , ass I mean my king and at this stage of his life needs a women and to have a family"

grandma: " don't dare and speak like that in front of the king princess, what the king needs is a queen for this kingdom"

Dilshald is surprised and shocked then she said in her mind: " this means that she had already someone for him"

Dilshald: " yes my queen , actually there are 4 women princesses in his harem and one of them can be the queen , the king will choose one of them as a queen"

grandma: " I know a long time ago about the 3 princesses and I've heard about the new one and the deal… anyway we will figure it out after the ceremony. By the way who is in charge about the preparations?"

Dilshald: " it's princess tanveer my queen, the king choose her himself"

grandma: " really ? that's interesting"

Dilshald loocked at her with a suspicious loock, she knows that her queen mother loves tanveer since she was a child.

Dilshald: " I will let you have some rest my queen , I will see you at the ceremony"

Dilshald is in her rooms now and asked Nedjma to make sure that all the princesses will be at the ceremony " nedjma beta, make sure to bring zoya to the ceremony and stay with her and not leave her side I don't want her to do something and ruins the queen's mood"

Nedjma noticed something is going wrong with her mother but didn't ask, she just agreed to do what she told. Dilshald: " beta , don't forget to make zoya as beautiful as the other princesses"

Nedjma smiled from the excitement: " don't worry ammy, without any sophisticated clothes she got our attention including bhaijan the king, what will happen when she wears …" dilshald also agreed and smiled on what she said but not for long time her mothers words still reasoning in her head.

Only few hours left for the ceremony. A man came and told assad that it's time to prepare for the ceremony.

In their way to the king's rooms, Assad and Ahmed meet Huyam. Assad looked left and wright to check if MOSSIBAT princess is around. Huyam stopped to greet the king and assad too stopped : " how is the princess today"

Huyam her eyes on the ground with a little smirk: " she is better but still feels some pain, the princess still needs some rest" she said that to test his feelings for zoya, zoya is alright now.

Assad wanted to say something but his pride came in the middle as always. Ahmed and huyam noticed that. Ahmed the king's mind reader, said something to keep the king's pride untouched and indirectly ask what he wanted to say :" My king if the princess can assist the ceremony at least for some time to greet the dady queen, this will avoid some trouble with the queen"

Huyam gave a furious look to Ahmed she was like " stop interfering", Ahmed gave her a look like " I'm helping my king like you do with your princess". Then huyam in the direction of Assad :" I will make sure to inform my princess that"

Assad: " of course if she is not unwell" then he left.

Ceremony time

Everyone is gathered at the ceremony place, the guests , Dilshald is looking stunning as always, she was sitting next to her mother the queen who is looking exactly like an old queen. Allia and Sophia were also looking so beautiful in bleu and green sarees .

grandma: " everything is so well prepared , it's perfect for a royal ceremony, no wonder our beautiful princess tanveer was on charger, by the way where is she?"

Dilshald: " she must be changing by now, she checked everything before, she personnally made the food too"

grandma with a queen smile: " I see.., and where is princess nedjma, she knows I don't like to be late, everyone must be here before the king's entry"

Dilshald is a little worried : " of course my queen ,she must be here in few minutes"

Nedjma is still with zoya making sure they will make it at the right time. When she arrived she found zoya sleeping ( after a good practice and hot bath), she tried so hard to wake her up. Yes zoya is a very deep sleeper and better not wake her up, her mood is so pissed off after.

Nedjma: " please zoya , for ALLAH sake and my mom's don't be late, I have to go, get ready and join me" " Huyam you have to be there before my bhaijan, I will reserve her a saet next to me there"

Huyam : " ok princess"

With that nedjma left , and huyam knows that only one thing will make her came in her senses a very cold bath " I have no choice, she will be irritated but will thank me later"

The cold bath made zoya's mood lighten a bit, and was about to dress up.

Zoya sighted: " finally, now I'm ready"

Huyam with a teary eyes: " Zoeee" and she gave zoya a very big warm hug like two best friends. Yes huyam calls zoya by zoe when they are in friends mood.

Zoya get emotionnel and said sarcastically : " I know huyam, I'm so beautiful, but if out there everyone gives me a hug like you I'm going to change right now"

Huyam: " are you sure? You don't wanna any hug ? someone special you may accept his hug?"

Zoya blushed unwillingly ans gave her a princess look : " we are getting late"

In the other side of the palace.

Everyone is there expect assad and Zoya.

Tanveer made her entry in a red saree like a bride. Dady queen praised her for the good work and sure she will get reward for this. Tanveer is sitting next to Maryam and her bhaijan opposite to Nedjma, the supposed seat of zoya, A and S.

Dilshald and daddy queen in each side of Assad's seat.

The king ASSAD AHMED KHAN, a man shouted to announce to everyone his entry. Everyone stand up including the grandma queen who said in a very low voice: " where is your 4^th princess"

Dilshald kept silent, she didn't know what to say and looked towards Nedjma.

A veru handsome Assad in a traditional clothes is walking towards his queen grandma and looking around searching zoya. He had a disappointed yet a worried face when he didn't saw her he thought maybe she is still unwell. Of course his mom noticed that and she knows why for this face.

He hugged his grandma and welcomed her in his palace together with his cousin Maryam and her husband.

Grandma: " now that our king is here with us , we can start the ceremony" she gave an order to serve the food. Then looked towards Tanveer and said: " My dear princess you should serve the king with the same hands you used to prepare the food"

Tanveer with a big smile: " as you wish my queen"

Assad is so indifferent, he is looking at the entry right in front of him ,still hoping Princess mossibat entry.

Grandma: " thank you my king for choosing Princess Tanveer for my welcome ceremony"

Assad : " no problem grandma, I know how much you love her" then he smirked and added " actually this served me well too" ( he meant the conversation he had with zoya and her jealousy)

And of course grandma understood something else.

Dilshald is watching silently all this.

Tanveer is close to assad serving him food. He has to taste it first before they start all eating, they are all silent and waiting him to praise the food. He was about to put the first bite in his mouth when he heard the sound of payal (guys I hope it's the right word) and see someone's shadow walking towards him, he had a sudden increase in his heart race, he raised his head keeping his hand with the bite of food in the same position, and an open mouth, the he recognized her , she is stunning, looking so beautiful in this red outfit his favourite color (exactly like the first meeting they had in the serial, sorry I don't know how we call this clothes).

Zoya sensed the gaze of everyone on her, she could hear only the sound of her jewellery and payal " stay calm and confident zoya, you walked in much worst places than this, full of soldiers, blood.." this was her way to calm down herself.

Assad still starring at her lost in her beauty remembered her saying she can make men go crazy with her beauty, he straitened his back, let go of the food in his hand and smiled more like a smirk ( he was like yeah mossibat, you're sooo beautiful)

Nedjma and dilshald are so happy to see her but tensed at the same time.

Zoya keeps walking , looking straight to assad's eyes with much confidence ( exactly like a model). She is close to him then changed the direction of her gazing , she looked at the grandma and with a serious soft voice: " You must be The queen grandma, my sincere greetings, I'am princess zoya"

Grandma queen is still mesmerized with her beauty then comes to her senses stands up and says: " where are your manners princess, you were supposed to be here before the king"

Before she goes far assad stopped her and said: " Grandma, I knew she was feeling unwell so I gave her permission to come only when she feels better so there is no harm"

Zoya, Dilshald and everyone there were surprised . the grandma couldn't say any word further since it was king's order.

Dilshald: " take you seat Princess"

Zoya : " yes Phupee"

This didn't go unnoticed by the Grandma who made an irritated face. Assad looked at his grandma, then looked down and smiled he was like "this is nothing grandma).

Zoya is about to seat nest to nedjma when she noticed Tanveer so close to assad she gave him a look " like what is she doing?"

Assad smirked and resumed the Food thing.

He praised Tanveer only to irritate Zoya and watch her jealous. But some other people took it for something else.

To be continued

Precap: " zoya not used to this ceremonies. assad enjoying himself. Grandma: " zoya is an adopted child, there is no royal blood in her veins"
