OS. Asad, a complete stranger.Part 1 & 2

Warning, extremely long and boring, read at your own risk.😉

Epilogue

Zoya was seated on the edge of the bed, tears streaming
down, hands clutching the edges of the bed for support.

Asad started removing the heavy jewelry, his long fingers
worked deftly as he untangled each bindi from her hair. Face was completely expressionless.
Zoya looked up, then down, in d ismay, this was not how she had ever imagined
the night after marriage.

" Mr Khan, please," Asad was in no mood for a conversation, as
soon as he finished with the head, he went for the neck, and quickly removed
the heavy family heirloom necklace, which Badi Bi had smuggled through Ayaan as
her blessings, 😛he was very quick--- and rough

no MITWA moments this time. She drew her hands to oppose
him, only to have them yanked to the
side, she grimaced in pain.

Next, he grabbed her hands , off came the bangles with such
speed that some fell to the floor and broke, next were the ankles, within
seconds, the heavy anklets which he had personally purchased were out.

Zoya was sobbing, " Mr Khan, I , I don't know ''but please. This
is not right.," Asad was never in this mood, so cold and impersonal, as if a
complete stranger'.😲

He pulled off her dupatta and hastily removed the gajra with
annoyance, flowers scattered to the floor and he trampled them under his feet
as he pulled up Zoya against himself. Taking a deep breath, he could inhale her sweet scent which made him crazy.😳

Next was the sari, it weighed like about 10 kg, fully
laden with golden work and pearls, again some of the pearls were strewn to the
ground. Asad was losing patience, he did not have much time.🥱

As he pulled the never ending sari, he recalled that he once saw Mahabharat on tv with his friends and the villain Dushashan was
trying to humiliate Draupadi by stripping her off her sari, but divine intervention occurred and
Lord Krishna supplied her with endless sari. "Am I Dushashan? He wondered?"🤢

This sari was very long'anyway, he pulled with such force,
that Zoya was sent circling and fell down. Bracing herself and breathing
heavily, she did not know what to expect next. . Part of her blouse was ripped from
his rough handing, and she instinctively covered her upper body with her hands.

Concern came to his face, but he stooped down at an inconsolable
Zoya, and grabbed her by the shoulders, with force, " Please Mr Khan you are hurting
me''."😭

End of epilogue

👏

Part 1

Warning- sad ending

Today was the happiest moment in Asad and Zoya's life.
Everything for the Nikah went so smoothly and with the Kazi's blessing they
were man and wife. Asad gently held Zoya's hands and all the guests showered
petals.👏

Ami was beaming with joy,

Suddenly the door flew open, and in came an angry Mr
Siddique- (Mr S) Zoya's father .😡

"let her go, you vile creature, I declare this Nikah null and void!"

Everyone was shocked, Dilshaad came forward and Mr S looked
at her with contempt and said" only you are capable of giving birth to such a
son" and continued his rampage on Dilshaad but was stopped by Ayaan . " Mamu,
first of all you were not invited and you want to destroy the most beautiful
moment in Asad Bhaijaan's life"😔

Asad was clenching his fist as if to shut up Mr S with a good punch.

Then Mr S looked away
and said "Zoya, come here beta!" these words echoed deafeningly through Khan's
Villa, threatening to shake its foundation.

Zoya was dumbfounded, a mixture of emotions rushed, but she
stood firmly by her husband.

" I knew it, you wont believe it but I am your Abu, your
father!"

Asad looked at Mr S and then at Zoya, Zoya's mouth had dropped open, and tears
started to roll.

" Its impossible, Zoya's father had died 15 years ago". Asad
retorted.😲

" That's how evil you are, you only blame Razia for the
Saazish, but the real kamina is you" Mr S blue eyes were getting bloodshot.😡

Asad rushed forwards to Mr S as if to hit him, but zoya and
Ayaan held him back.

"Come in!" In came the photo frame maker, and said " Ji
Huzoor'"

"Tell me what you told me!" Mr S shouted

Trembling the photo frame maker pointed to Asad and said
that I told him your whereabouts and how to find you, as I had figured out that
girl from America was your daughter'

Asad was bewildered; this was the same man who told him Zoya's
father had died. " You liar, you told me that that man in the photo had died."😡

Before Asad could hit the man, Mr S came in between and
blocked Asad's punch

Go away, ordered Mr S. The man ran out to a van which
whisked him away.😲

"You need any more evidence Dilshaad at how lowly your son
can be, I knew he did not like me, but I never knew he wanted to take revenge
on me. "🥱

Zoya beta, Mr S walked towards Zoya, his eyes softed,
fatherly look, the same expressions he always had for Humeira, please forgive
me, your Abu is going to take you home''🤔

Zoya was feeling dizzy, and before Asad could support her,
Mr S stepped in to support her, and made her sit down. He sat besides her and
started to talk to her about Zoya's Ami, and how beautiful Zoya was as a child
and how desperately he tried to look for her. Asad was standing at a distance,
folded arms across his broad chest, he just wanted to see Zoya's expressions.😕

By now Mr S was crying, and seeing him cry, Zoya shook her
her head and said Abu?

Since the time Zoya knew, she always craved for her father's
love, and her heart confirmed, , " this is your father"

Zoya was overwhelmed with emotion, alas her coming to India,
her search was complete..

Mr S then did an unexpected thing, he embraced Zoya and
kissed her on her forehead.

"Lets go home beta".

Asad was heart broken, seeing Zoya reciprocate with Mr S was
too much. He looked away, as hot tears came down.

"Abu, I am married and I '." Mr S cut her off, its ok beta,
I will see to it that you get divorced😲.

"This family is our enemy. You can choose anyone as you husband or friend, but you cannot choose your father, our relationship is pure and the evidence is that after many years we have found each other" Mr S, changed tone and continued speaking sweetly, genuinely lamenting when suddenly he switched to the same old dictator Mr S, " Enough, I am waiting in the car, hurry up." Mr S left, but turned and gave a tender glance to Zoya who stared back at him.

Dishaad rushed to Zoya, " Your Abu is alive! And embraced
her. Dilshaad is pure hearted and she saw Zoya's pain for her father, even
though the father happened to be Dilshaads envious enemy.

"Phoopi, I don't know what to do." Cried Zoya.

Aapi scolded her, " Zoya are you mad, you have a lovely
family a wonderful husband!"😊

Zoya looked down and started sobbing.😭

For Asad, this was enough, " Ami if Zoya is not happy here,
she can go with Mr S. As her husband, I allow her to go with her father."😲

"But not dressed as a bride, I don't want that family to
taunt us, lets go". Asad grabbed Zoya and forcefully dragged her to her bedroom
and practically pushed her on the bed.

Najma and Aapi started to go after her, but Dilashaad stopped
them, "please give them a moment."

Zoya was seated on the bed, tears streaming down, hands
clutching the edges of the bed for support

Asad started removing the heavy jewllery, his long fingers
worked deftly as he untangled each bindi. Face was completely expressionless.
Zoya looked up, then down, in dismay, this was not how she had ever imagined
life after Nikah. " Mr Khan, please,"
Asad was in noo mood for a conversation, as soon as he finished with the
hair, he went for the neck, and quickly removed the famiy heirloom necklace,
which Badi Bi had smuggled through Ayaan, he was very quick--- a bit rough, no
MITWA moments this time</font>

Next, the forearms, off came the bangles with such speed
that some fell to the floor and broke, next were the ankles, within seconds,
the heavy anklets which he had personally purchased were out.</font>

Zoya was sobbing, " Mr Khan, I , I don't know ''but
please..," Asad was never in this mood, so cold and impersonal, as if a
complete stranger'.

He pulled off her dupatta and hastily removed the gajra with
annoyance, floweres scatterd to the floor and he trampled them under his feet
as he pulled up Zoya. Next was the sari, it weighed like about 10 kg, fully
laden with golden work and pearls, again some of the pearls were strewn to the
ground. Asad was losing patience, he did not have much time.</font>

As he pulled the never ending sari, he recalled that he once
saw Mahabharat on tv with his college friends

This sari was like'anyway, he pulled with such force, that
Zoya was sent circling and fell down. Part of her blouse was torn from his
rough handing, and she instinctively covered her upper body with her hands. </font>

Concern came to his face, but he walked towards weeping
Zoya, fists clenched tightly''

He pulled her up ordered her to get dressed. She obeyed, and
opened her closet to grab her jeans

Asad yelled at her, he did not know why he was so angry"" you are so stupid, you will wear jeans at Mr S house".⭐️

Zoya was trembling, Asad was hurting from inside but they did
not have time. He grabbed a white Anarkali suit and shoved it at her.

Go and get dressed!

Zoya was scared, Asad looked like he could beat her up, so
she went to the bathroom to change.

Meanwhile, Mr S had started to toot the horn of his car.😡

Asad opened Zoya's suitcase and threw all her stuff inside,
except for the jewellery and the bridal saree.

Then Zoya stepped out, eyes yearning for Asad, Asad tuned
away, hecouldn'tsee Zoya cry

But then he turned once to Zoya and she embraced him, sobbing uncontrollably .Asad's suit was getting wet from Zoys's incessant tears.

He pulled her away, and said, " this is KISMAT, destiny," She looked like an angel, he hugged her warmly. Wiped her tears and he gently stroked her hair, kissed her on the cheek 😳and took the suitcase with one hand and Zoya's hand with the other as he made
his way to Mr S's car. In his mind thinking I hope you come back...
