Asya SS ~ Tu Jahan Main Wahan! THREAD 1 (chapter 1-9) - Page 29

Part 5

Ayaan and Zoya reached the khan mansion and as expected Dilshad and Najma squealed and hugged Zoya as if they were meeting her after two years instead of two days. Asad who was inside his room working on his laptop came out in the living room to find out the source of the noise and he was pleasantly surprised to see Zoya standing there hugging his ammi and Najma. He smiled his patent almost visible half-smile.

"Asad why are you standing there? See who has come." Dilshad said excitedly.

"Ammi even from here I can see who has come and you and Najma can squeal this loudly only for Zo–Ms Farooqui."

"Mr Khan…."

"Ok now please you both don't start." Dilshad cut off Zoya to stop them from fighting. Dilshad looked at Zoya from head to toe and shook her head.

"Zoya you have become so thin." She said disapprovingly.

"Phupi I've been away for only two days, you do know that right?" Zoya giggled but she was touched. Her phupi cared for her like her own daughter. She was the mother she never had.

"And Dilshad bi do you think we don't feed your Zoya? You don't trust me?" Ayaan pouted.

Dilshad laughed at his expression and affectionately patted Zoya's head.

"Come let's eat something, I've made Zoya's favorite snacks. Asad complete your work later." Dilshad said.

Asad nodded and made his way towards the dining table. The pain in his back had reduced but he couldn't help wince a little when he sat down, which didn't go unnoticed by Zoya.

"Mr Khan what happened?" she asked

"Nothing." He didn't want to tell her about his back pain or rather how he got it. She and Ayaan would tease him for the rest of his life.

"Are you sure?" she asked further.

"Why do you care?" he asked annoyed.

"Whoa, I was just asking, you don't need to be rude." She turned her face away from him, she didn't want him to see the slight smile appearing on her face. Oh how much she missed bickering with him.

"Asad slipped on the bathroom floor and so his back is paining ever since." Dilshad told Zoya. Asad closed his eyes in frustration.

"When did that happen?" Zoya asked immediately. She was obviously concerned for him.

"Yes bhaijaan tell us, when did it happen?" Ayaan rested his hands on the dining table. His tone told Asad that he knew why his back was aching.

"Last night." Dilshad answered instead of Asad.

"Ooh! So bhaijaan are you sure that you slipped in the bathroom and not somewhere else. You know some place like, maybe, a backyard." Ayaan winked but one glare from his brother and he decided to shut up. He really wasn't interested in meeting Mr Mukka Ahmed Khan.

"What do you mean Ayaan?" Dilshad was confused but Zoya understood where exactly he had slipped and a giggle escaped her lips, she tried to turn it into a cough but when even Ayaan giggled they both looked at each other and burst out laughing, clutching their stomach while laughing and gave each other a hi-five.

"Can anyone tell me what's happening?" Dilshad really couldn't understand where this conversation was going.

Once Zoya stopped laughing she said,

"I'll explain phupi, actually….."

"Uh, ammi where is Tannu?" Asad asked, not that he was actually interested in knowing where she was but he wanted something to change the topic.

"She was in the garden talking to someone on the phone."

"Yeah so Dilshad bi Zoya was telling you something." Ayaan smirked. Asad tried to stomp on his foot under the table but ended up hitting the table.

"What the-" he yelped in pain. Ayaan laughed at his brother's helplessness while Zoya looked at him concerned. Asad gave an angry look to Ayaan before walking off to his room.

"How bad is the pain?" Zoya asked Dilshad. Ayaan looked at her with raised eyebrows and then looked down smiling softly.

"I don't know. It was pretty bad in the morning, now it seems to be fine."

"What did the doctor say?"

"Doctor? Zoya do you really think he will visit a doctor for such a trivial thing?" she sighed.

"I'll go talk to him." She walked towards his room.

"Has he ever listened to her?" Dilshad said.

"Well Dilshad bi he just might." Ayaan winked.

"You, Zoya and Asad are behaving very weird today. So now are you going to tell me what's the matter." She asked sternly.

"Fine I'll tell you but don't tell bhaijaan that I revealed his secret." He chuckled and told her how Mr Asad Ahmed Khan climbed a pipe only to ask about Zoya's health.

oOo

"Mr Khan did you see a doctor for your back pain?" Zoya barged into his room as usual without knocking.

"No!" came his curt reply.

"Well you should."

"I know what I should or shouldn't. It's a stupid back pain due to fall and I'll be fine."

"Well what if you hurt your spinal cord?" she widened her eyes at the option.

"What the hell. My spinal cord is fine." He half yelled.

"Are you a neurosurgeon? Do you have a degree in MBBS that you didn't tell us about? No, right. Ok show me the pain killers that you are taking." She extended her hand.

"I think you are getting hyper just a little bit."

"Pain killers! Now!" she demanded. Asad opened the drawer near his bed and handed her the pain killers that he'd been taking. Zoya looked at them and mouthed a 'hmm'.

"Great! Lie down on your bed."

"Excuse me." He thought he heard her wrong. She motioned with her hands to lie down.

"Why?"

"I'm going to give you a back massage."

To say Asad was shocked would be the understatement of the century.

"Come again."

"Back massage!" she repeated.

"Are you out of your freaking mind woman?" he almost screeched.

"Mr Khan you have nothing to worry about. I can give very nice massages. No, not can. I DO give nice massages. You know one of my friends in New York was a masseuse and she taught me how to give massages to relieve pain. If you are going to behave like a child and not visit the doctor then allow me to work my magic." She explained.

Asad was still hesitant. Not because he didn't want her to "work her magic" but because he was afraid of what might happen to him if she tried to "work her magic".

"Trust me Mr Khan aapka pain yun chala jayega." She snapped her fingers. Asad bit his lip and then gave in with a sigh. He lay on the bed on his stomach and Zoya pulled the stool near the bed. She sat down on the stool and rubbed her palms together before starting the massage. She placed her palms on his back and pressed it slowly.

Asad tried to stifle the moan that threatened to escape his lips when she placed her hands on his back. She might be trying to alleviate his pain but didn't she know that she was torturing him in the process? Asad's back stiffened.

"Mr Khan you are very stiff, the massage won't help like this. Lose up a bit for once."

Asad took a deep breath, closed his eyes and soon his muscles relaxed. He decided that instead of worrying about anything he should just enjoy this moment that might never come again. Thinking of that a small smile played on his lips.

Zoya was too busy concentrating on the massage but she couldn't help wave off the electric current that had passed through her body when she touched him, she couldn't ignore the light shiver that ran down her spine, she couldn't ignore the spark she could feel between them. These emotions were so new and raw, she didn't understand what she was feeling and why she was feeling like that. She wanted some distraction so she decided to do what she always did. Annoy Mr Khan!

"Mr Khan I told you to be careful, if you become physically challenged then what will happen to me?"

"You? Why will it affect you if I become physically challenged?" he smirked.

"Of course it will affect….." she caught herself on time. What was she going to say? She would be affected because she what? Liked him? Was infatuated with him?

Asad turned his head to look at her with a wicked gleam in his eyes.

"Don't turn!" she ordered.

"Yes ma'am." He replied with a chuckle.

"So can you tell me why exactly you planned to become a Superman plus Romeo?" she teased.

"I don't know I had this sudden urge to climb the pipe. Thought I might practice some commando skills." He joked.

Zoya pinched herself and let out a little shriek when it hurt. Asad immediately turned to see what made her shriek. He saw her rubbing her arm and staring at him dumbfounded.

"What?"

"Am I dreaming? Did you just, um, joke?"

"Why? I can't joke?" he asked.

"Who are you and what have you done to Mr Khan?" she asked back.

"What?"

"Yes! Mr Khan! He looks just like you only difference being he doesn't smile and never, ever jokes." She giggled. Asad rolled his eyes and lay back on the bed.

Zoya continued massaging, trying to ease his muscles.

"Is it helping?" she asked.

"Mm!" was all he replied. Surprisingly the massage had worked it's magic. He could feel the pain slowly ebb away and for the first time he had to admit that there really wasn't one thing that Zoya Farooqui couldn't do. It was weird that he couldn't allow his best friend to do that but when Zoya suggested the idea of her giving him a back massage sounded very pleasing. He couldn't even deny the fact that he felt pretty uncomfortable around Tanveer but around Zoya he felt so at peace and happy, content! When she wasn't around him he would feel restless. Only he knew how scared he was to send her to that house. If anything was to happen to her then he wouldn't be able to live.

Zoya felt him stiffen again and she knew something was wrong. He seemed like he was going through some stuff himself and she couldn't tell him about her hunches. He would just be unnecessarily troubled and she didn't want to trouble him. She ran her hand through his hair almost as if reassuring him that everything will be fine. Asad couldn't help moan when she did that. Zoya smiled and continued with the massage.

Both were so lost in their own thoughts that they failed to notice a pair of eyes watching them with envy and burning rage.

"So he had a problem when I touched him but now that it's Zoya he doesn't mind taking a massage. Zoya Farooqui, I have to do something to keep you away. Asad is mine and you can't take something that belongs to me." Tanveer glared at Zoya one last and stomped off to her room.
