Zoya ran into the room, shut it tight and slide down across the door weeping badly. It was her and Asad's first marriage anniversary when her so-called-abbu had came and claimed her, his daughter. She hated the sight of the man in front of her. She dreaded to call him her abbu.
"Zoya... Zoya open the door please" Asad begged her, knocking the door hard. Dilshaad and najma were not at home and were surely away from the happenings in the khan villa.
"Asad… leave me alone please" cried Zoya. "Leave you? how could I leave you? Zoya, I know how much your abbu meant to you. see, if it is because of me or najma or ammi that you are backing away then don't… please don't baby." He spoke, concern dripping in his tone. "No Asad. It's not that. I… I just can't stand the sight of that man…. That man who… who killed my ammi" she choked as the last words escaped her mouth.
She was told that she could meet her father at a particular place and had left happily to see her father. But what she got next was the thing which sent shivers down her spine. He tried killing her. He god damn tried killing her. If not arjun – Asad's friend, she would have not been here alive. Gaffur had then dejectedly accepted that he and his second wife razia were behind zainab's murder which surely had broken the last straw and had left her vulnerable.
Asad banged the door, pleaded her to open it but nothing… just nothing came from her side. He shut his eyes tight as he felt the anger build up inside him. For the first time, he felt like hanging that man to death. He opened his eyes, calmed himself down and entered their room through the window. He saw her… saw her lifeless form just in front of the door. No tears spilled out of her eyes. Her face showed no emotion… nothing.
"Zoya…" he caressed her right cheek as tears threatened to fall from his eyes seeing her present situation. "Asad…. He… he tried killing ammi Asad… how… how could he do that? His second wife killed my ammi Asad… they killed my ammi." She wept uncontrollably and hugged him with all her might.
"Shh Zoya…" he whispered sweet nothings in her ear and let her weep. Weep in his arms. Soon he found her breathing normal and she was asleep. He picked her up and made her lie on the bed. He dialed prasad's number. "Prasad, I don't wasn't to listen anything. I want this case to be the strongest and the worst punishment we could let them have. No one goes away after hurting my family. Get the best lawyer and arjun had already seen it happening all in front of his eyes. Get it done soon" he cut the cal and turned to see her. Her face had dried tears and she was sleeping clutching the sheet tightly. Asad laid down next to her and pulled her close to him. In a reflex, Zoya took hold of his shirt and kept her head on his chest still sleeping. He smiled at her and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Whatever the situation be Zoya, your jahanpanna will always be by your side. I will always be there for you until the time we shall live" he smiled broader as he felt her clutching his shirt tighter than before. "I love you" he pecked her forehead and slept, vowing that he won't let gaffur ahmed Siddique and razia Siddique in peace!
