next day was monday, asad and zoya were going to mumbai to attend an important meeting for there deal and after finishing some paper work they left in sometime evening... through out the drive no one utter a word, both asad and zoya are chirpy and bubbly but the difference is that zoya was no more the same because of hurdles she faced but asad was asad, he can't be silent for this long, this situation was killing him and finally he broke his silence
asad;-zoya ...
zoya;-hmmm replied she looking outside
asad;-so you know what is my favorite color?' asked him nervously and the very next moment he realized what a stupid question he had asked
zoya;-what kind of question is that? of course i knw' she said turning towards him
asad;-acha then tell me...' he replied not letting this conversation to stop
zoya;- asad!!!' she said annoyingly
asad;-what? if u know then tell me...' said him innocently
zoya;-your favorite color is red.. the color of love...fine?
asad;-ohkay... u know i also know your favorite color... ' said asad happily
zoya;-whats there to be so happy, i know that you know
asad;-u know that i know
zoya;- what the hell had happened to you, why are you behaving so oddly... huh
asad;-what have i done? i was just saying that your favorite color is golden... the .. the color of achievement and success
zoya clapped her hand forcing an smile;- well done now please drive silently' replied her sarcastically and she again turned her face towards the window
asad;-thanks ... umm zoya can we.. can we... stop somewhere for dinner? woh...woh... actually i am starving' he said nervously
zoya;-yeah why not? what is there to get nervous asad. it's time for dinner only
asad;-ara hann... hehe...' and he faked a laugh... due to which zoya looked at him confusingly but after a minute or so she again turned on the other side
'what the hell is wrong with you man, why are you getting so nervous and behaving like an idiot... your were not even nervous five years back when you were going to propose her...yeah, i was'nt nervous at all, but if i had proposed her five years back then there was no need to get nervous now also, but ALAS i never got a chance to share my feelings with her' he said to himself and his fine mode changed into a sad one not because it reminded her what zoya did to him but because he never ever got the chance to tell her that what he really felt for her and what he even fell now too...
he concentrate back on driving with the same thoughts running in his mind, after sometime he felt a zoya's hand on his shoulder, she was patting his back, basically calling him 'asad... asad' she repeated his name again and again
asad;-han... what happen zoya?...' he stammered
zoya;-what happen to me? what happen to you asad?' she asked
asad;-nothing what will happen to me?
zoya;-acha? then why you did'nt stopped when we were passing from that restaurant?' she said pointing towards a restaurant from back mirror
asad;-umm, it's not a good one... that's why
zoya;-ohh acha?? had you forgot asad its the same restaurant where we guyz came during university time's whenever we were going for outing
asad;-ohhh i forgot sorry..' replied asad looking straight and then at her, he found her looking at him with her hand across her chest with her left eyebrow raised
zoya;-care to explain?' she said totally not buying his ex-cuse
asad;-actually the matter is that i am afraid what if we did'nt got this deal, u knw na that my company is facing some loss from sometime and just because of us you will also lose this deal, it's so important u knw
answered asad of course it was'nt the true reason but it was the truth, asad's company is facing lose
zoya;-hey, nothing wrong will happen, be positive... and don't worry about us because we will get this deal at any cost, i am sure... and always remember that nothing wrong will happen when we are together
said zoya assuring him placing her hand on his and with her dimple smile
asad;-i hope so
zoya;-don't hope, be confident... everything will be fine. Inn Shaa ALLAH... waisa i guess the restaurant had left far behind so we should wait for some other to come
