Part-1
So, Mr. Khan, you think I am manner less just because I love pizza in breakfast? Shouted zoya in anger folding hands on her chest''..
No Miss Farukhi, I think you are manner less because you do whatever I hate''.. said Asad trying to calm himself down as he didn't want another mishap with zoya that was on the way and he had an important meeting in the office..'
While Dilshad and Nazma were again smiling on looking at their fights'. This was not a new thing for them' it has been two months when Zoya's jiju had sent her at Khan villa to stay as a guest and from day one, they two were fighting like cats'. Zoya used to wear jeans, which never went well with
Asad, moreover Asad was a cleanliness freak whereas zoya was totally opposite, she created just mess wherever she sit' Asad loved home made things while zoya loved pizza and cold drinks day and night'' Asad loved to keep quiet and zoya could not sit one second in silent'..that makes them clashing their heads almost daily' now it had become a daily routine of their life, their day was never complete without single fight'.. but dilshad could see another sweet, yet unsaid bond between them visible only when any one of them was off'. She had seen how they understood each other's problems and helped even out of way'. But always to the square one next day''.. and today was yet another day' it was zoya's birthday , only dilshad knew that and zoya had ordered pizza early in the breakfast which asad hated a lot and the game started'.
Oh really Mr. Khan , you are impossible' if I would have known you are sick, I would have never accepted my jiju's wish to stay at your home as guest'.
This is my home and for staying here you have to follow some rules'.
This is not a home, this is more a jail, where for everything there is a rule. For eating, for sitting, for sleeping even for walking'. Everytime listen your instructions'. Eat properly, walk carefully' sit properly, this is mannerless to sit with feet on sofa, don't stand on sofa''. Ye , woh' I am fed up with all these'. And by the way, This is not only your home Mr. Khan, this is my phuphi's home too'. And I am staying here only for her' otherwise who can tolerate you for more than two days and here I am getting tortured by you from last two months'.
Agar itna hi torture hoti hain Then why don't you leave miss farukhi? What keeps you here? vaise bhi jaise ap yhan per eh rhi hain, no one can say you are a guest ' infect it looks like I am a guest here because my ammi and tamatar are always busy for you only'. Zoya needs this, zoya needs that.. she does so, she does this'''.. bus ek name plate hi meri hai yhan pe'. Agar ap ka bas chale to use bhi hatwa ke apni lagwa lengi yhan'''. Suddenly Asad spoke of his heart in blank''.. while dilshad and nazma were shocked on listening, first time Asad was speaking to his heart so frankly'''.
Oh, so Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan is jealous''.that I am getting more attention than him at the home'..by the way Mr. Khan, I am getting the attention because I deserve that'. Zoya said with a winning smile'
Oh really? Asad' s anger was rising'..let me know how do you deserve that?
Because i am the one who makes them happy''.
And what do I do here?
You make money Mr. Khan'.. but money don't bring smiles, its only me here who makes this house a home otherwise it was like a hotel before I came, '' no one can speak loudly, no one can talk while eating, no one can eat of her choice'' even can't wear clothes of own choice'''.Mr. Money maker, no doubt you made a beautiful house, but its me, who came here two months back, infect Allah sent me here to spread happiness in phuphi and nazma's lives'''..and i made it a home''
Whatever''' said Asad while leaving'''. This was the last and most wonderful point where Asad always lost, because he knew, this was true, he had never seen his ammi and tamatar( he calls nazma with love) so happy in last seventeen years since his father had left them''''. Life was like a machine for them.. first dilshad was doing a job as a teacher in school and teaching them both then Asad completed his degree in civil engineering and started his own construction company four years back and now he was a successful business man having more than required but in the struggle to get all, they had lost their happiness, their smiles, which were really brought back by zoya at their home'.. she was an ever smiling girl'..Asad knew there was something beyond her smile, something she was hiding from all' but could never find out and he was fond of her this habit of making others smile hiding own pain, which was bring him closer to her'..
By the way thanks for ruining my day Mr. Khan''.. said zoya while leaving for her room leaving the pizza behind at dining table and Asad was shocked at this' it was quite unusual. He could feel the sadness on her face which was quite rare that too even winning fight against him'''. But he had to leave for office, he had no more time to handle the situation'.
In the office, even during meeting, he was thinking about the same, zoya's unusual behavior''. So he decided to call her'''. But he had never done so'''.. so after scratching his head for an hour, he called his ammi''.
Asad, at this time? Is everything fine? Asked dilshad''..
Yes ammi, infect I '.
Han bolo''.
Ammi, who actually''. Main woh'''.. he could not complete again''.
But his ammi knew, what he wanted to ask'''.she just wanted to listen from him'. But even after a number of attempts, when he could not''
Its her birthday today'''' dilshad said and cut the call'''..
Asad was shocked'''.. it was her day and I fought with her'''. Now what? Should I wish her? No'''' I will not be able to'''.. he knew his weakness''.. he can't speak such in front of her'..
Should I send a cake for her? No''.. it will hurt nazma'.. we never celebrated her birthday even''
So what to do?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was evening when the doorbell rang and dilshad opened the door'''..
Zoya, its for you beta''..
What is it phuphi? Zoya asked coming from her room''.
It's a courier for you'' and she handed over the packet to zoya''.. no name was mentioned on the packet but it was just written happy birthday in bold letters'.zoya was surprised''.. who can it be''
Nazma was chiding her for her secret admirer'''. While dilshad was smiling in her lips knowing who sent it'''.
It was a beautiful red anarkali dress''. As zoya opened it, she blushed to the core'''..
So you know who sent it? Nazma smiled'''..
No tomato, how can i?
Then why are you blushing so hard?
No, I didn't'''. I just smiled seeing someone sent dress of my favorite colour'''
Then please try it zoya'''
No nazma'''' I can't handle such clothes'''.
But beta someone sent it for you with so much love, you should try it at least once''.
But phuphi''' zoya got irritated''''.
For me'..please''''..said dilshad looking at the clock''''
OK''.. zoya said and left for changing''''
After sometime, zoya came back wearing the dress and was surprised to see asad there admiring her which made her blush even more''..
Wow zoya, you are looking beautiful'''. Looks your secret admirer really knows what will suit you'..nazma said in excitement while zoya looked towards Asad when he stared nazma to keep quite'.. After that the dinner went silent'''.and even asad didn't bother to wish her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was dark outside while zoya was sitting on a bench outside in the lawn looking towards stars with teary eyes holding a doll in her hands'..
Coffee''' asad offered her one cup from the two holding in his both hand'..sitting near her on the bench'
Both kept quiet for some time'.. When asad started'.
OK?
Ya'..she said with a fake smile''.
But doesn't look so'''
Was just looking at stars''..
Finding someone? Asad smiled a bit''''
and she handled doll in his hand''
Do you play with dolls at the age of 23?
22''.. she smiled and pressed a button on the doll'''
"Happy birthday zoya'''..
Now smile'''.
Hahahaa (laughter)
Keep smiling like this always meri jaan and make others smile too, mamma loves you''..
I love you too mamma''."
Tears were rolling from her eyes''. This was my last birthday with my ammi and her last gift to me''.
This was not the last one zoya, infect this was forever'.. she demanded from you to smile always and spread happiness. That you do always''.. don't disvalue this gift by these. ' Asad said while wiping her tears with his thumbs'''
Now please smile, otherwise your ammi in the stars will also be sad for you'''.. Asad said in a polite voice which made zoya smile''' this was the maximum affection Asad could show to her and his coffee was also finished'
Good night miss farukhi''. He said while getting up from bench'
Thanks for the gift Mr. Khan''' zoya said with a smile''.
What? I didn't''. said asad while looking here and there'''.
You don't need to mention your name to let me know Mr. Khan''.. by the way I really liked it''.
Wear such dresses often Miss Farukhi' those suit you'. Said asad while leaving'''
Both could not see dilshad was looking at them with smile''' she already knew, asad will go there when she saw zoya sitting the in the lawn''.. It was not first time when both were spending quality time together'
First time they had sat here when Asad had shouted for the first time on zoya after tolerating her antics for fifteen days and moreover she was getting late from reaching home continuously for three days and she had left home in anger' and Asad was upset for entire evening finding her here and there. Finally he found her in a bus leaving Bhopal and brought her back to home'' zoya had not spoken a word to him neither right nor wrong'' and was just weeping silently sitting on the same bench at night looking on the stars'' may be she was praying to her mom'.. that was the first time when asad had prepared coffee for someone that too of her taste and asked sorry for his behavior''.
After that she had seen zoya sharing Asad's pain when he was sad when he broke his relation with one of leading companies as they were also dealing with rashid ahmed khan, his so called father'' and he was not even in the mood to talk to anybody.. but it was zoya who had shared his pain just for five minutes here and made him smile again forgetting his pain'..''' after that it had become their practice. When one of them is sitting here alone means, he or she needs other there for sharing coffee as well as their feelings and they themselves didn't know when they had become part of each other's life ''
Dilshad was always tensed for asad will he open up to someone ever in his life. And she was happy that slowly, he was making a bond with zoya, often she found them fighting always but sharing such a beautiful bond at times when anyone of them was sad'.
She was praying there to Allah to keep this relation of Asad alive till the end of his life'''.
