Zoya knew it wasnt safe to be firing up Shehry like this, he could be as dangerous as Mr. Khan when angry, but she had to do it to find out the truth, so when she heard Shehry say, Zoya please dont make this hard for me.
She broke into another rant, saying, 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.
Your Abbu was a greedy man who married your Ammi for money! Your Abbu was in his thirties when he met your Ammi! Your Ammi was just out of college, about 24 years old beautiful and carefree as you! From what Ive heard, youre an exact spitting image of your Ammi! Which was another reason why Appi never pushed it when it came to wearing salvar suits that and also because she knew most traditional clothing doesnt have full sleves and how important it is for you to hide your arms, anyways she fell in love with your abbu and she told your Nanajaan that she wanted to get married now and your Nanajaan agreed and got them married and after a year you were born. By the time you were about three, your Ammi found out that he was married to another woman your Ammi was devastated but your Abbu told her that he was forced into marrying the other woman and that he loved your Ammi only. Your Ammi believed him but Nanajaan didnt, so in his Will he gave everyone to your Ammi and if anything happened to your Ammi, then all the property will go to you. Your Abbu was furious when he learned that and you were about 5 when your Nanajaan passed away and a few days later, your Appi, my Ammi, and I were going to visit your place when we say smoking coming from your house! Your Abbu was running away from the house and he smelled like kerosene while your Ammi and you were screaming and burning ALIVE inside the house! He set your house on fire! He killed your Ammi! He tried to kill you but if it hadnt been for your Ammis courage, you would probably be dead. I still remember, I was only 7 years old but I put water on the building as fast as I could, when I say you crying for your Ammi, she was burning right next to you! I ran up to you, and your Ammi told me, Shehry always take care of my Zoya! Take her and tell Zeenant to raise her please dont ever let my daughter into the hands of that monster! I ran with you as fast as I could out of the house to bring Ammi, and your Appi but by the time we got there, your mother was screaming and burnt all over!! It was horrifying! I screamed and I dont remember anything after that!
Ammi and your Appi decided to keep you with them and their was a rishta from New York of Anwar jiju and your Appi got married and they both adopted you as their daughter and took you to New York with them! Soon after that my Abbu had also called Ammi and me to New York and we made our little world in that city and decided to never take you to India ever! But two years ago you found out about your Abbu and were determined to come to Bhopal to find your Abbu and then Appi made a scheme that she should get you married. She knew marriage means everything to you and once in a relationship, you will never back out no matter what. She thought of getting you married to Akram because he will be able to protect you until you were in Bhopal and then he will move back with you to New York! It wouldve worked but you being you ran away from the marriage but now Im glad you did! But still Zoya, think about it with a brain and not with a heart, give it up and move on! Hes nothing but a murderer! Let it go! Ill leave you alone now, just think about it!
Saying that Shehry walked out of there and Zoya just stood there, trying to collect her heart together which had shattered with the truth! How could Shehry do this to her! He knew her better than herself, then how could he not know how much she needed him right now and he just said that hes going to leave me alone to think! Her inner turmoil was growing when she saw him standing there and she ran!
