Zoya just fainted in his arms! He couldnt figure out what to do! Zoya! Zoya! He found himself yelling and pretty soon he realized that tears were running down his face like the day he had almost lost her in Mangalpur to that grave the panchayat had made for her! No! He would never let anything ever happen to her again! Ever! He scooped her in his arms and carried her to his car. He was looking for something when the guy showed up with a water bottle in his hand and offered it to Asad. Asad hesitated for a bit but then took it gently from his hands and sprayed a bit on Zoyas face and she came around. Asad felt a it better and asked if she was okay and she just said, Yes Mr. Khan! I just forgot to eat lunch, so I just fainted. Can we go home please? It seemed to Asad like Zoya had forgotten all about their fight! He closed the passenger door, and turned around to find the guy standing there smiling.
Typical Zoya! He said. She always does this! Forgets to eat, gets cranky, yells at people, faints, and then wakes up forgetting everything! So Im guessing you are Asad! He said looking at Asad.
Yes, he replied a bit Confused. Everyone knew him in Bhopal but this guy didnt look like he was from Bhopal at all. Im Shehry, the guy said. Perhaps we started on the wrong foot. Im Zoyas best friend from New York. We grew up together and we have always been together even when we went to different colleges, so I guess I just get a bit too overprotective of her. I didnt mean to insult you, in Zoyas case I always act like this because shes always been my responsibility. Sorry!
Its okay, I shouldnt have reacted like that too, its just some guys here are too shameless! So you staying here for some time? He had just asked that hoping that his answer wouldnt be that hes come here to get Zoya, but as usual Zoya had to come in there! She had just seen Shehry, and had literally ran his way and hugged him like a little kid, while he spinned her around! Oh Zee Bell! I havent seen you in so long! Lazy day today!?
Yeah, didnt want to do anything! She said smiling.
I can see that! Your messy bun and juicy couture collection only comes out if your feeling lazy or something really bad is disturbing youoh no Zoya, not again! How many times Ive told you no you cant keep on doing that to yourself! Shehry said, now mad. You need to get home! Asad, Im sorry but can I ask you for a favor?
Confused Asad said, Yeah sure!
Since Zoya is at your house, can I follow you guys to your house, I have to talk to her, if you dont mind that is?
Sure!
Asad and Zoya left in Asads SUV with Shehry closely behind them. Once they got home, he went and told his Ammi that one of Zoyas friends had come to meet Zoya and Hes asked him to stay for dinner. His Ammi seemed very happy after a long time! He smiled and was walking to his room when he saw shadows! Asad walked over and saw the shadows belonged to Zoya and Shehry and Zoya was crying while Shehry was yelling at her! He clenched his fists best friend or not, nobody made his Zoya cry! He was about to walk when he heard Shehry say, Zoya, you cant keep on doing this to yourself! He isnt worth it! Everyone but you knows who he is and what his scumb bag ass did! Hearing this Zoyas head shot up! You knew, I mean you know! Tell me! You have to tell me! I deserve to know!
Asad was getting very angry at the way Shehry was talking to Zoya, but also very confused as to whom were they talking about when he heard Zoya say, please Shehry, I need to know! Hes my Abbu! I need to now! Please!!!
Its not that easy Zoya! Sorry I cant tell you! You wont be able to take it, and I cant see you break apart anymore! Shehry said putting a hand softly on her cheek but Zoya flicked it away.
No, dont touch me! You know all my life Ive only had you! You understood me! You always had the solution! You always felt the same about me as I felt about you! We always had a love that no one could understand!
Asad stomach sank when she mentioned Love but he kept listening because he just couldnt bring himself to walk away.
When Appi talked to you about mine and your nigah, you knew exactly what I would say, you knew that I would tell Appi that I loved you as my best friend and not even a future husband to take your spot in my heart but I am waiting for my soulmate and before he walks into my heart, I need to resolve my parental issue! You knew because you were waiting for the same things perhaps, your soulmate! We have always been each others mirror, but today! Today you are leaving me! You are leaving your best friend in a dilemma even after you know that I would rather know the truth and live that than die with a regret that I didnt even try to look for my Abbu!
Zoya please dont make this hard for me.
No Shehry! We are done here! Thats it! I dont want to talk! I can do my things myself! I dont anyone! Not you and not Mr. Khan! You here me! No one! Saying that Zoya turned around, but a furious Shehry grabbed her to face him and said, You want to know? Then fine, listen.
