Chapter 27: "There are always flowers for those who want to see them" Page 78For those who are new to this FF, welcome! So happy you decided to peep in 😳. And, just incase you feel a little lazy to read the first 22 chapters (they're quite slow 😆), here's a quick recap of what has happened until now:
RECAP:
My story starts off with the scene in which Zoya give Humeira sweets, and she faints. Just like in the show, everyone freaks out, and tries to wake her up. Zoya is also frantic. Then Razia flips out and tries to pull her away, realizing it's Zoya in the process. Adding more wood to the fire, she blames her and accuses her and Dilshad of Black Magic, and ill will towards their family. Rashid and Ayaan defend Zoya, but Gaffur is confused. And Asad watches all this on the webcam. But shuts it, so he does not see Zoya getting slapped.
Zoya is found by Ayaan later on, outside crying, and she decides, against her will to go home. Asad is waiting for her there, seething. He shouts at her, scolds her, and basically further humiliates her. But the as the last straw, he insults her, but saying: "It's a good thing your abbu isn't alive. He'd surely be ashamed if he had to live through these days because of you!" Zoya slaps him, and makes a silent vow to leave the Khan Villa.
Mr. Dhurander Bhatawdekar comes to check on the engagement, as he did in the show. But unlike the show's track, Dilshad simply sends him away, saying they had a family emergency and everyone seems tensed to him, so he leaves. Zoya hears his voice, and runs outside to stop him. She explains the whole fake engagement situation to him, and ends up convincing him to keep Asad, Dilshad and Najma out of it, if she agrees to leave the country with him.
That night, Asad is constantly thinking about Zoya and rants to himself. Zoya hears him and lets him have it. She defends herself, and tells him she will soon get rid of all his "pareshanis" as soon as possible. Asad thinks about this all night, unable to sleep. And Zoya proceeds to pack her things and head outside the Villa.
Asad hears something, and realizes the front door is open. For a second, it seems as if he'll stop her. But alas, he's too late, and only sees the tail lights of a cab in the distance.
The next morning, Dilshad and Najma find letters from Zoya, saying she's left. Asad finds out from them, and still in denial, refuses to acknowledge that it hurts him. Zoya calls the Villa, saying her last farewell to Dilshad and Najma, and hangs up crying.
Mr. Bhatawdekar and her go to the airport, and he realizes slowly, that she is not the criminal is mistook her for. Zoya receives a call from Ayaan, and he finds out she's leaving. He tries to convince to talk to him, but she hangs up. At the same time, Asad tries to find anything Zoya might have left for him. As a farewell. He finds the CD of the engagement, and thinks it's a message from her.
While he's playing it, he gets a call from Ayaan. Ayaan convinces him to watch the CD carefully, and Asad finally sees that Zoya was slapped. That she was humiliated. That it wasn't her fault. And that he made a colossal mistake. He runs out of the house, and drives to the airport.
At the airport, Asad and Zoya meet. But Zoya is too hurt, and still refuses to allow him to apologize. Asad sees Dhurandar and realizes she's told him the truth, and thus cannot come back into the country. Zoya dismisses Asad, and she and Mr. Bhatawdekar do in through the doors after the Bag Drop. Asad mechanically makes him way home, broken.
Near the gates, Bhatawdekar surprises Zoya by telling her he won't deport her, but she still needs to leave. And that she will be allowed to come back to India, should she want to. Zoya, confused and dejected, boards her flight, and leaves for New York.
Asad breaks down at the Villa and finds comfort in Dilshad. She makes him realize, finally, that Asad Ahmed Khan is in love with Zoya Farooqui. Asad thinks about this realizes to what extent he loves her. But is still afraid of hurting her and goes to Dilshad for advice. He then decides to go after Zoya, all the way in New York City.
Zoya arrives in New York City, and meets her Aapi and Jeeju. They notice she's not herself, her Jeeju more than Zeenat. But let her be, thinking she just needs space. The next morning, the Farooqui house received an unexpected visit. From Dilshad and Najma.
Zoya is happy but then worried that Asad is there too. Dilshad assures her, that while he is in New York, he didn't come with them to her house. Dilshad convinced her to meet Asad one time, for her sake.
Anwar and Dilshad sneakily decide to give the love birds a push by allowing them to live under one roof. That's when Asad and Dilshad and Najma show up at the Farooqui's that evening, bags in hand. The next morning, everyone shanghais Zoya into spending a whole day with Asad.
Zoya reluctantly agrees, and then tries to make him miserable all day by challenging his OCD, his distaste for skimpy clothing on women, etc. But fails somewhat, as he his determined to show her he is no longer the man to burst a fuse and ask questions later. In the process, Zoya and Asad bump into four of her New York friends, and they take Asad on a tour of the city. But their tour is cut short, when someone from Zoya's past happens to be in the same coffee shop as them.
Deepak, was a guy that Zoya's Aapi and Jeeju had picked out for her to marry. Zoya wanted him to know everything about him, and she recalls doing so, as well as his cruel words: "It shows you never had parents. Where else are you going to get any?" Deepak saw her as well, and berated her. Two of her friends, Neeru and Kareena, stepped in and took care of Zoya, while Asad disposed of him and his weasels friends.
Back at the Farooqui's, Asad brings Zoya home and takes care of her. They have a heart to heart, where Zoya tells him why she hates Deepak, and Asad realizes why his words hurt her so much. But despite his apology, and Zoya's realization of his remorse, she still felt he didn't trust her. And hence, pushed him away again. Dejected, Asad leaves her room.
He gets a call from Neeru, and goes to meet them. They have a heart to heart, along with Kareena, and both girls agree to help him win Zoya over. Asad goes back to the apartment, and checks on Zoya. Seeing her asleep, he goes to the balcony. Lost in his thoughts he starts to sing, and imagines Zoya is dancing with him.
Around the same time, Zoya wakes up after an afternoon nap, and realizes she may have been to hard on Asad. She catches him dancing with thin air, and they have a heart to heart. Zoya forgives him for his taunt towards her father. And they share as smile.
Dilshad, Najma, Zeenat and Anwar all come back at the same time. They all sit in the living room, recalling their respective days. Asad and Zoya choose to keep mum about their encounter with Deepak. Zoya gets water for everyone, and somehow ends up locking eyes with Asad. As a result his shirt is wet with a glass of water they both drop.
Asad goes up to change and Zoya follows, to get his shirt for wash. Mitwaaa moment happens, and Asad gets flirty with Zoya.
Ab agay! 😆
Thanks to all those who commented, and liked! Love you all! Next update will be this weekend, as promised! 😃
AND here's a little sneak peek of one of the future chapters to tide you over 😉
Sneak Peek:
She took a few slow, careful steps towards the door. Allah miya! What's wrong with Mr. Khan? Why did he ask me to come here? Zoya continued her inner monologue as she took in the sight before her.
A white silk tent stood in the middle of a grassy clearing. The fabric was thin enough to see the stars on this beautiful clear night. Candles illuminated the tent, which housed a beautiful table set for two. Silverware, exquisite plates with delicate and intricate designs painted on them, crystal glasses, and a chiller with a bottle of Dom Perignion standing next to the table.
She could hear soft music playing in the background, and the song choice had her beaming, as blush crept up her cheeks.
Bol Na Halke, Halke, Bol Na Halke, Halke...
Zoya approached the table, mesmerized by the set up. Her eyes moistened, as she took the reality that he had done all this for her. Who knew, Mr. Akdu Ahmed Khan could be such a romantic? As she reached the table, she noticed there was a open cooler, with a couple cans of Diet Coke. She smiled again, and closed her eyes, uncertain if this was all true, or just a figment of her imagination.
Her heart was beating wildly, nervousness coursing through her body. Is this why he did all this? Is this where they were headed? Allah miya, I'm so confused. This is all so romantic, but...
