Asad and Dilshad were on the sitting on the table for breakfast waiting for Zoya ...
'Ammi its been 10mins since we've been waiting for ur guest ... Doesn't she have any value for someone's time?' Asad spoke gritting his teeth.
'Patience Asad ... She came here yesterday only , why be so harsh ? ' Dilshad spoke worrying what took Zoya so long ..
'I don't have anymore time . Enough ...I'll eat something in the office ' he spoke getting up ..
When they both heard ..
'Salam' Zoya spoke dressed in a blue top and jeans ..
They both turned to look at her ..
For a second Zoya reminded Asad of that girl he saw 2 nights before ... but he repressed his thoughts ...
'Why is she dressed like that? I hope she's not going anywhere in those clothes' Asad frowned ..
'Walekum-Salam beta .. What took u so long?' Dilshad asked as Zoya walked up to the table..
'S..o..rr...y phuppi actually ...I ...' Zoya stammered as a crimson color started filling her cheeks
'I ...overslept...ekdum pata hee nahi chala morning hogayi' she spoke closing her eyes tightly , she felt highly embarassed for over sleeping bein a guest in someone else's house..
Dilshad couldn't help but smile seeing her flushed cute face ...
And the weirdest thing happened wid Asad , he felt his lips curving into tht slightest of smile seeing that girl being sooo cutely embarrased and on top her reason for gettin late was something that would put Asad to the angriest of moods but he was smiling though it was hardly visible but he knew he was..and The moment he realised what he was doing , he quickly straightened his face..
'We were waiting for u since past 10mins Miss Farooqui' Asad spoke ..
His voice once again sent shivers down her body..
'I'm...really...very Sorry ...it won't happen again' she spoke looking down at her plate ..
Zoya was genuinely feeling guilty .. And it was more than visible on her face !!
'Its okay Zoya beta .. This is like ur house only ...u can sleep as much as u want ' Dilshad spoke smiling..
Asad frowned , why is his Ammi takin her side ???
'Can we eat now?' Asad spoke aloud
And they all started focusing on the breakfast ... It was a quiet breakfast until ofcourse something happened and yet again thanks to zoya ..
'Phuppi can u pass me the pickle ?' She spoke ..
'Sure beta ' dilshad spoke and handed her the jar ..
As Zoya extended her hand to take the pickle , Asad who was sitting adjacent to her extended his hand to pick the glass of water ... And both their hands collided making the glass fall on the table ... And the water on Asad's suit ...
'Allah Miyan ...I'm so sorrry ' Zoya spoke gettin up
'I'll ...just clean it up ' she spoke as she rushed to the kitchen to get a cloth
Meanwhile Dilshad gave asad a tissue to clean the water off him.. She could guess it by his face that he was controlling his anger right now ..
It was gettin beyond Asad's patience.. For one day , it was gettin more than enough.. He grabbed Dilshad's hand and told her to come aside ..
'Ammi is ur guest crazy? 1 she's dressed in jeans , don't u dare let her go out of my house like that . 2 she overslept while we were waiting for her . 3 u know I always prefer a silent breakfast and now she did a blunder 4 yesterday she was eavesdropping ..I cannot tolerate this ..u better talk to her else send her back to where she came from' Asad spoke angrily ..
'Asad beta .. Please .. Give her some time to adjust .. She just lost her family , she's not in the right frame of mind ' Dilshad spoke
Just when Asad was about to say something , he saw Zoya standing near them ... Yes she heard everything ..
He could see tears coming down from her eyes ... She was so vulnerable right now that even the smallest of things were pinching her more than anything..
'Phuppi ...I'm really Sorry ... I'll leave today only ! I don't want to give u any trouble .. And I'm perfectly okay .. Cleaned the table too' she spoke smiling btw her tears
'Zoya beta...listen to me...' Dilshad tried to say but Zoya was already heading towards her room..
Dilshad turned to Asad with an annoyed look ...
'Asad I think instead of her , uve gone crazy ... Have u lost all ur humanity ?? Didn't I give the right Taleem to u ? Is this how u talk about someone whose in pain? I thought u would understand considering Najma's condition'
Asad felt guilty ... How could it slip out of his mind that she just lost her family.. But he did not like strangers in his house .. He had closed himself in world that had space only for his ammi and sister ...
'Ammi ...u know what I lose my mind when I see an outsider in our house .. It will take time for me also to adjust wid her ..' He spoke in a low tone ..
'I don't care Asad .. She's in a very vulnerable position right now and I don't want her to leave our house . U will go right now and apologize to her ' dilshad demanded.
'Ammi no ! I'm not apologizing to anyone' Asad retorted
'Asad go right now ! And if u don't then I will apologize to her from ur side'
Asad thought for a while..
'U won't apologize to anyone ammi ..I'll go' he spoke loosening his tie ..
'Good . U won't leave for office before apologizing .. I'll go check on Najma' and dilshad left from there..
Asad took a deep breath ... 'Its only a girl ...I can do that much ' he thought to himself ..as he started approaching her room..
He could her sobs standing outside her door ... For some reason he wasn't liking the fact tht he caused her tears ... It was making him uncomfortable ..
He again took a deep breath .. And finally knocked ..
Zoya quickly wiped off her tears ... And went to open the door ...
To her surprise Asad was standing outside . She expected Dilshad ..
Zoya's stomach clenched seeing that rude crooked man standing outside her door ... Had she been the old zoya she would have slammed the door on his face ...this guy she thought was everything she didn't want in her Mr Perfect except for the looks ofcourse ... But keepin aside his looks , his offensive judgemental nature , strive for suspicion in everything and his piercing words , Zoya started hating every bit of it ..
'Yes ?' She spoke
Asad saw her red puffy eyes ... And trust me he didn't like it .. Her milky complexion was pale within a few minutes of him sayin those words about her ..
'Actually ...ummm..' Asad tried to speak ..
'Its okay Mr Khan I'll be leaving in a few mintues ' she cut him..
'No no she's taking me wrong' he thought
'Miss Farooqui ..I came here to say ...that ..' Asad sighed the words seemed stuck in his throat ... Asad Ahmed Khan had never apologized to anyone apart from his mom .. And now he was standin infront of this totally strange but Beautiful girl to apologize as he caused her pain ...
Zoya stood there waiting for what he had to say ... But he was just struggling wid his words ...
'Mr Khan what do u wanna say??' She asked again..
Snapping him out of his trance ...
'See Miss Farooqui ... Whatever I did downstairs ... Ummm... It wasn't ... Exactly wrong ...' He choked
'Allah miyan is this guy freakin crazy? He again started off' she thought
'See Mr Khan . I get ur point ... I'm an unwanted guest here I pretty much guessed that .. And u really don't like me ...so u don't have to remind me that again .. I'll go from here ' she spoke
Now Asad was gettin irritated ..firstly he couldn't apologize and secondly this girl was making it even more difficult ..
'That's not the point Miss Farooqui ...I came here with a different reason...' Before he could complete Zoya started off again..
'Yes I'm sure Mr Khan .. Now u must be here to tell me that before I step out of ur room I should change my clothes and not wear jeans , otherwise ur reputation will be at stake . I understnd ..I'll change my clothes and then leave ' Zoya spoke breathlessly ...
Asad was losing it now ...this girl was gettin on his nerves ...
'Miss Farooqui ..will u first listen to me ?' He spoke trying to calm his nerves..
'I heard so much Mr Khan ...downstairs .. And even ur face since last night has been speakin volumes that u don't want me here so fine I'm going ' she snapped
But this time Asad barged inside her room and pinned her to the wall .. Covering her lips wid his palms ... Enough is enough he couldn't take her voice anymore ... Moreover he couldn't take the fact that she was misunderstanding him again n again ...
Zoya's eyes grew wide enough to pop out anytime ... She started feeling weak as Asad was really close to her, wait "really" is an understatement, his body was plastered to her ...
'Miss Farooqui ...I came here to ...' Asad took a final deep breath...
'To apologize ...I'm sorry for whatever I said downstairs..I didn't mean to hurt u...u don't have to go anywhere' he finally completed staring into her eyes .. Which were calming down ..
But he felt something else too ... He realised her lips were moving against his palm , sending currents through his body .. He could feel her soft feather lips .. Moving in a rhythmic motion against the crook of his palm.. Sending weird sensations down his body ..
When suddenly he saw her gesturing towards his palm.. And he realised she wanted to say something.. Embarrased he immediately withdrew his hand and moved away from her...
Zoya first closed her eyes and breathed heavily ... When she felt better she opened her eyes only to find Mr Khan had already left ...
Instantly She lied on her back on the bed...and closed her eyes ...as she had a flashback of Mr Khan's words ...
Miss Farooqui I came here ...To apologize ...I'm sorry for whatever I said downstairs..I didn't mean to hurt u...u don't have to go anywhere..
Zoya's lips curved into a small smile ...
'I'm so stupid .. Poor guy came here to say sorry and I didn't even gave him a chance' she thought ..
Suddenly something clicked her and she instantly sat up ..
'But that doesn't change the fact that he's rude and cold ... I'm sure phuppi must have told him to apologize ' she spoke to herself ..
X---------------------------X-------------------------X
Asad was sitting in his cabin ... Thinking about the events earlier from today...
'This girl has driven me insane in one day '
He was surprised at his own actions .. How he pinned her and apologized .. Why did he do that ? Why was it so important for him to apologize to her right then ?? Maybe becoz he didn't want her to go...
'No !! Becoz Ammi told me to do so ' he reminded himself
But he could not ignore the sensations he felt jolting up in his body when he was so close to her ...
'I told myself to stay away from her .. ' He thought
But then he remembered , how soothing it was to feel her lips against his palm.. It made him feel something so unusual...
'Asad.. Remember ... Ur life is ur Ammi and Najma .. Never trust any stranger ..u can see what happened to ur sister .. And history shall never repeat itself'
Suddenly Zoya's innocent face at the breakfast table flashed before his eyes ...she's hurt herself ... Why would she ever hurt anyone ?
'Its been just 1 day Asad ... Just 1 day .. And ur thinking about her ? This is not good for u and ur health .. STAY AWAY !' He reminded himself and got back to his work ..
There was a knock at his door ..
'Come in'
'Sir ...Mariam has left the job' one of his employee's spoke
'What ? Why ???' Asad asked angrily
'She left the town .. She's getting married '
'What is this nonsense ? She was my secretary she was supposed to inform me .. How dare she leave like that?' Asad spoke frustrated ..
'But Sir ... She's gettin married '
'So what do I do ???? Work is work !! Don't u even think of giving her this month's salary...'
The employee nodded..
'And give an ad in newspapers and magazine for a new secretary ... RIGHT NOW ! I need one tomorrow itself' he spoke aloud
' But sir in 1 day?'
'Yes in one day ... Whose going to handle my work ??? NOW GO ! ' He yelled ...
And the guy immediately left ...
'Its just a Disgusting damn day ' Asad banged his table !!
X------------------------X-----------------------X
In the evening Zoya was walking out of her room when she heard some voice...
It was coming from Najma's room...
she didn't want to invade anyone's privacy but Najma's door was open..
She stood there thinking for a while ..
Then finally walked towards the door ..
Trying to hear what exactly was happening..
'There's no Love .. No life ... ' Najma spoke gritting her teeth .. And clutching tightly to the sheets ..
'No life .. No pain' her eyes started getting red ..
Zoya felt scared hearing that .. 'What is wrong wid this girl ?' She thought
'No love ...No life ...No pain ' Najma spoke taking a knife in her hand..
Zoya's eyes immediately grew wide in fear as she knew what Najma was about to do..
Within a second she entered her room and took the knife from her and threw it ...
'What are u doing ???' Zoya shouted
Najma saw her wid anger and pain ... And the next moment she collapsed ...
