Chapter 1
The
story starts off from when Asad returns with the blood test reports.
Dilshad, Najma, Tanveer, and Zoya were
in the room talking about past memories and about how today's function went off
really smoothly. Dilshad had noticed how Asad and Zoya could not take their
eyes off of each other. She knew that they loved each other but she also knew
that they had not realized this feeling and also would never approach the topic
either. As they were talking they heard the horn of the car from outside
indicating that Asad had indeed returned from the hospital. The three ladies
hid in Zoya's bathroom while Zoya stayed in her room waiting for Asad to come
and give her, her gift. Zoya was feeling very shy and nervous for some reason
that she did not know why. She heard the front door slam to the house and then
saw Asad rushing into her room with anger evident on his face and in his eyes.
Asad: "MISS FAROOQUI WHAT IS THE MEANING
OF THIS?!?"
Zoya: "What is wrong Mr. Khan? Why are
you so mad and why are you yelling? What did I do?"
Asad: "Don't pretend as if you don't
know what you did! You know exactly what you did!"
Zoya: "Mr. Khan well first tell me what
I did exactly I have no clue what you are talking about."
Asad throws the reports at Zoya's face
in anger and it lands on her bed. She reaches down to pick it up with a
confused and questioning look on her face.
Zoya: "Mr. Khan what is this?"
Asad: "Like you don't know what it is.
Open it and take a look at it. It is Tanveer's blood report that's what it is."
Zoya opens the envelope and studies the
contents of the envelope very carefully as she reads on her confused expression
changes to complete shock.
Zoya: "Mr. Khan how did this happen?"
Asad: "I DON'T KNOW MISS FAROOQUI YOU
TELL ME HOW THIS HAPPENED! YOU ARE THE ONE THAT HAD GONE AND TAKEN TANU'S BLOOD
SECRETLY!"
Zoya: "What are you trying to say Mr.
Khan, that I did something disgusting like this? How could you even think that
low of me! I would never do that! And besides why would I want to change
Tanveer's blood and put chicken's blood!"
By then the situation was getting out of
hand so the three other ladies came out of the bathroom and tried to handle the
situation.
Dilshad: "Asad beta there must be some
kind of misunderstanding. I am sure of it. Zoya would never do anything like
this. I think it's best if you apologize to her. For no reason you are blaming
her, bechari. Zoya you don't worry I believe you.
Asad: "AMMI WO BECHARI NAHIN HAI! SHE IS
JUST AN INSOLENT SPOLIED BRAT! WHENEVER SHE TRIES TO DO SOMETHING IT ALWAYS
BACKFIRES! SHE IS JUST A MUSIBAT FOR EVERYONE! THANK GOD HER PARENTS ARE NOT
ALIVE TO WITNESS THIS DAY THEY WOULD HAVE SUFFERED A LOT ALL BECAUSE OF HER'."
Asad's voice trailed off as he had
realized what he had said. He felt angry and remorse as he realized what he
said to Zoya after all she had gone through. As he turned to apologize to her
he felt a sharp sting on his cheek. He slowly brought his hand to his now
throbbing red cheek and turned to look at the source of the problem. He turned
to his sister standing in front of him balling her eyes out but something was different.
She had anger in her eyes she never was like this. He stood there silently and
took what was coming to him. He looked up at Zoya and saw her silently crying.
He looked into her eyes and saw that she looked broken to an extent that it
would be hard to fix things. He felt a pang of guilt hit him as he realized
what he had done. He just wanted the earth to swallow him whole. He turned to
look at his sister and she was red just like a tamatar but the difference was
that she was not laughing or smiling or shy about anything she was fuming with
anger.
Najma: "BHAI-JAAN! HOW COULD YOU BLAME
ZOYA FOR SOMETHING THAT LOW AND DISGUSTING!
YOU KNOW SHE CONSIDERS US LIKE HER OWN FAMILY SO WHY WOULD SHE EVER WANT
TO HURT OR PLAY A DIRTY JOKE LIKE THAT WITH ANYONE! ARE YOU CRAZY! I KNOW FOR A
FACT THAT YOU CANNOT BE MY BHAI-JAAN BECAUSE MY BHAI-JAAN WAS NEVER THIS CRUEL
AND COLD-HEARTED TO ANYONE EVER!
With that Najma ran out of the room. She
had never talked to her bhai-jaan like that ever before and that was the first
she ever did. She didn't know what came over her but she had to do something.
She couldn't just stand there and listen silently as he blamed Zoya for
something she didn't do. She saw her breaking completely and then decided to do
something. She didn't even know why she had slapped her brother. But she knew
it was the right thing to do since her brother had crossed all his boundaries
today by talking to Zoya so ruthlessly.
Dilshad turned to Zoya hugged her kissed
her on the forehead and took Asad out of the room. Tanveer looked at Zoya
remorsefully and said sorry and then also walked out of her room with a big
smirk on her face. She didn't have to do much and Asad had just basically
completed her work for her.
As everyone left Zoya's room Zoya
collapsed to the ground and started crying her heart out.
Allah
Miyah what is wrong with Mr. Khan he always has to bring my parents into ever
fight he has with me. Why does he do that? Why does he hurt me but still I feel
the need to forgive him. No I won't forgive him this time I cannot and will not
forgive him this time he went too far by bringing my parents into the topic. He
hates me I don't even know why I am still here helping Mr. Khan anyways he
doesn't even want to marry me. Even this Nikaah is all a fake drama for him.
But why does it feel so right to me as if we are meant to be together. NO! I
can't hurt Phupi like this anymore I have to tell her the truth'but how do I
tell her this every time I try to talk to her regarding the nikaah she gets
sick'.
As Zoya was lost in her thoughts her
iPad started beeping. She slowly turned towards it and saw that all the
pictures from the function were already uploaded. She smiled sadly and then an
idea came to her mind. She got up slowly with more tears falling and grabbed
her suitcase and started packing her things in there as fast as she could. All
she knew was that she had to get out of this house as soon as possible and she
had to do it tonight or else Phupi and Najma would definitely try to stop her
from leaving. As she finished packing she sat down she grabbed her iPad and
started looking at the pictures but as she was looking through it one picture
caught her attention. It was a picture of her and Asad during the function
standing together and in the background there was someone with a stone-eye
holding a chicken. She gasped and got up to go see Asad but then stopped
herself. She knew Asad didn't want to marry her so she decided to stay firm on
her decision on leaving and making Mr. Khan's life much easier with this whole
nikaah fiasco. She grabbed a paper and quickly started scribbling away as she
wrote the letter she let her tears fall. She knew what she was doing was wrong
but she had to do. As she finished the letter she went to go print copies of
the picture out and place it with her letter. She organized the wrong up and
made sure nothing was left behind she put the envelope on her bed that was
addressed to Phupi grabbed her suitcase and left the Khan Mansion through her
window just to be on the safe side so that no one saw her leaving. She took one
last look at Khan Mansion took a deep breath and then left with a heavy heart.
She decided to go stay at a hotel for
the night and then in the afternoon she would take a flight back to New York.
She decided to book her tickets in the morning and decided for now she just
needed to find a hotel to stay at for the night. Zoya started wandering around
the round and then took a cab to the nearest hotel. She checked into the hotel
room and got into bed and soon sleep overtook her.
The Next Morning at Khan Mansion:
Dilshad and Najma were downstairs in the
kitchen preparing breakfast. Asad just came out of his room dressed in casual
clothes since he didn't have to go to the office today. Tanveer soon came down
also to join them. But Zoya was still nowhere to be seen.
Dilshad: "Najma can you please go and
call Zoya down for breakfast."
Najma: "Ji ammi."
Najma headed to Zoya's room. Dilshad was
getting impatient as it already been 5 minutes and Najma still didn't come back
with Zoya. Asad was also looking for her impatiently he had wanted to talk to
her and apologize to her. He wanted to do it last night itself but then he
decided against it and wanted to give her some time to herself. After a little
bit they heard Najma scream and saw Najma running down the stairs crying.
Dilshad was alarmed and Asad was worried he thought something had happened to
Zoya. He and his ammi approached a grief stricken Najma and tried to calm her
down and see what was wrong.
Dilshad: "Najma beta what's wrong why
are you crying and why did you scream?"
Najma: "AMMI ZOYA LEFT! SHES NOT HERE
ANYMORE SHES GONE FOR GOOD!"
Just as the words came out of her mouth
Asad staggered backwards he tried to regain his composure but was too shocked
as he realized to what extent he had hurt Zoya.
Dilshad: "Don't be silly Najma she is
probably in the bathroom or went out for some important work."
Najma: "No ammi look she left a letter
for you and then there are these photos which show that she is innocent
regarding the switching of the blood."
Dilshad and Asada and Tanveer were
shocked that Zoya had evidence to show that she was innocent. Dilshad grabbed
the letter and started reading it out loud
Dear
Phupi,
I
am sorry that you had to find out that I left your home this way without
informing you and giving a proper goodbye. Please forgive me if you can. I know
you consider me as your own daughter and I have hurt you greatly by doing
something so childish like this but what could I have done Phupi. I am not
wanted in that house. I stayed back for you guys but now I realize it is time
for me to go. I have my own life in New York I have my aapi and jeeju who are
waiting for me. It's not like I could stay with you forever. Yes I know you
must be thinking is she crazy she is engaged to Asad of course she will stay
but I am sorry Phupi I have betrayed your trust. I am sorry but I will not be
able to help you fulfill your promise to get Mr. Khan married in 10 days. I
know I am not the right bahu for your family as Mr. Khan has always said that I
am a "MISFIT" for this family. This
nikaah was not even real for us Phupi. Mr. Khan never wanted to get married to
me. This was just all fake and a part of a drama since you got sick and were
not allowed to handle any stress. I am sorry but this nikaah will not happen. I
am sorry Phupi if you have it in your heart please forgive for doing this to
you but I had no choice. You still have time to find Mr. Khan a good bride for
him that will fit perfectly into his family because I know that's not me. Oh
and also Phupi I have also put in some photos in the envelope which proves that
I did not switch Tanveer's blood with chicken's blood. Please show this to Mr.
Khan so he knows that I would never ever in my life play such a cruel joke on
anyone. Also Phupi take care of yourself and Najma. You guys are my most prized
people in this world including my aapi and jeeju. Tell Najma to smile and to
not cry as I will stay in touch with you guys constantly. Don't worry about me
I am going back to New York by the next afternoon flight I have already made
complete reservations for everything. I am sorry I had to leave like this and
also without helping you complete the nikaah promise but I do not want to
burden Mr. Khan with a musibat like me I couldn't let him commit himself to a
relationship with which he was not happy with. So please forgive me Phupi I am
sorry for the pain and sadness I have caused you but it's in the best interest
for this family that I leave. Allah Hafiz.
Love,
Zoya
By the time Dilshad was done reading the
letter she was completely broken. She looked at her son and saw him looking
like a pale ghost. He stood there frozen with tears brimming his eyes the
photos fell from his hand he gazed down at them turned around went into his
room after banging his door. At the sound of the banging both Dilshad and Najma
flinched they all knew that Zoya had left because of Asad and they would do
anything to bring her back before she left India for good.
Meanwhile
at the hotel:
Zoya woke up feeling sore and tired. Her
head also felt heavy from all the crying from last night. She pushed the
thoughts aside and freshened up, booked her tickets, and was all ready to go.
As she was about to grab her cell to make a call she heard a knock at her door.
She was surprised and thought who it could be she didn't even order for room
service. She hesitantly made her way to the door and opened it. When she saw
who it was she gasped clutched the door handle tightly to stop her from shaking
because she knew if she gave in they would see right through her and know she
was in a very weak and vulnerable state. She was shocked, bewildered and scared
to the core and slowly whispered in a raspy voice'
Zoya: "Aap'."
