Chapter Two:
******************
Najma: "Zoya its OK... Bhai Jaan is completely out of hi senses right now and I'm sure that he will realize that whatever he is doing is wrong. Really wrong! Dekho Zoya, stress matt lo, tumare bache ka kya hoga?"
Zoya: "Najma whats the use? Asad thinks that this baby isn't his. I don't know where on earth he came up with that! Najma I just can't take it! I can't take Asad being mad at me for no reason!"
Najma: "I know Zoya... Just thank Allah Zoya, Luckily Ummi is in Canada visiting Mehar Kala and Yasin Mamu, other wise she wouldn't have survived till now!"
Zoya: "I know. Aaagh!"
Najma: "Zoya! Zoya are you OK?? Zoya! Driver turn back and drive straight to the hospital! Quickly!"
Zoya: "Aaagh! Najma! ouch! Ya Allah! Aaagh!"
Najma: "Zoya is ok. We are going to the hospital now! Nothing will happen to you!"
Zoya clutched her stomach and groaned in pain. Najma's face was covered with tears and sweat.
MEANWHILE AT ASADS HOUSE:
Tannu: "Jerry, You are absolutely correct! That girl deserves what she is getting! She betrayed you Jerry! Its so obvious that she just used you for all your wealth and property!"
Asad: "Tannu please, I know OK? stop rubbing it in my face even more! By the way where is she?"
Tannu: "I don't know Jerry, but Najma isn't home also. I'm sure she must be with her."
Asad: "Did you find out about that Guy Tannu? Anything?"
Tannu went all pale and started to change the topic.
Tannu: "Jerry! You know how busy I am plus the cell that he used to call Zoya was a strictly private number. And why are you so worried? I'll soon update you when i find out something. Umm... Oh! Jerry Mujhe abhi yaad aya, I have to go and get some designs sorted. If you need anything just call me, OK?"
Asad nodded and Tannu left the room in a hurry to avoid more investigating questions. Asad couldn't believe it. How could Zoya do such a thing and then do the old-school, playing dumb act, as if she knew nothing! Asad remembered the first time he heard the message.
*FLASHBACK*
Asad: "Oh Zoya, Your cute when your preggy, and forgetful too! Looks like you forgot your phone."
Asad reached and picked up Zoya's cellphone.
Asad: "One new voice message? I'm sure Zoya wouldn't mind me hearing it, After all she is me and I am her... We are one.. Anyway! lets see who we have got"
Voice Message: "Zoya why aren't you picking up my calls? Huh? A week ago you told me that i was the real father of your un-born baby and now your ignoring me? Zoya, You came to me willingly and I know our relationship was kind of serious but I'm not taking any responsibility for this Baby! You have a husband, don't you? Now dont pester me again or I'll tell the truth to your Hubby!"
Asad dropped the phone. Tears streamed down his cheek for the first time in a decade and his fists clenched with rage. No! Zoya would never do anything like this! This was definately a mistake! There was not a single night where zoya was away from home. Or was there? he thought. Then Asad recalled when Zoya had gone with friends for two days. The day she returned, Zoya had ignored Asad for a while and was acting all mysterious. Only some time after that Zoya had revealed that she was Pregnant. Oh god! How could she do this to me?
Tannu put her hand on Asads shoulder. Asad turned to her and she wiped his tears.
Tannu: "I can't believe it Asad! I never expected Zoya to be like this! I'm sorry for eavesdropping Asad but I was bringing Juice for you and I heard..."
*FLASHBACK ENDS*
Asad had always trusted Ummi and told her everything but he wasn't going to this time... Not for some stupid, careless, shameless girl like Zoya! He couldn't believe he had fallen in love with her.
Tannu was rushing to her room when someone crossed her path.
Tannu: "Tum? What are you doing here? Arvind please go from here otherwise.."
Arvind: "Otherwise what? Miss Tanveer Niamati. Maine to tumhara kaam akhir kar dala par tumne apna waada pura nahi kiya! I'm here for my money Tanveer and I've waited a long time!"
Tannu: "Oh shut up Arvind! Your money will be with you shortly, when I am officially Mrs Asad Ahmed Khan Ok? Right now go from here!"
Arvind: "You don't know me Tanveer!"
Tannu: "What Huh? Tum mera kuch nahi bigaar sakte ho! You can't do anything!"
Arvind: "Say all you want Tanveer, but you need a lot more body fat than that to be bulletproof! My one statement could send you so far from Asads life that you wouldn't be able to dream about coming back!"
Tanveer glanced around and panicked.
Tannu: "I'll do something and give you your money by the end of the week I promise! Now go from here! Please just get out!"
Tanveer pushed Arvind all the way out of the house and rushed back to her room panting and relieved. She smiled slyly and thought to herself. Poor Zoya, poor Asad... My Net has caught the shark and the whale together!
AT THE HOSPITAL:
Najma: "Zoya nothing will happen to you or your baby! Don't Worry!"
Najma kept reassuring the half-conscious and half-un-conscious Zoya, while zoya was being raced through hospital corridors.
Nurse: "Maam, Please wait here, Do not worry, Dr Shweta will check her and inform you when possible"
Najma: "But Sister! Sister please! Zoya and the baby will be fine right?"
Nurse: "I'm sorry Maam, I really cannot answer that, Please have patience and faith"
Najma: "OK Thank you sister!"
Najma watched helplessly as Zoya was swiped into a room. She went and sat on a chair close to a mother who was, every ten seconds, rushing to check her tiny baby in an incubator. Najma smiled at her love and care for her baby. Predictions were killing Najma now. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't or really had no choice to call Asad. And Ummi mustn't be interrupted at this time. Ya Allah! She thought. Please let Zoya and the baby be safe.
About 5 Minutes later the doctor came up to Najma.
Najma: "What happened Doctor? Zoya is alright na? And the baby too?! Please Doctor tell me!"
Doctor: "Calm down Maam. Zoya... The Baby..."...
TO BE CONTINUED... (cheeky smile)
