Hi everyone!!! Thanks for your comments and likes ❤️❤️❤️
Now an excuse: this chapter is mostly fluff (Sorry!). I wanted to do a song fic. Think of it as one of those filler episodes 😆 I know we are not terribly excited about those but bear with me for now. Hopefully it's not that bad.. at least you'll be surprised by the ending 😉. May be. Umm... I wanted to do a song on Asad when he realizes his feelings but we'll see. For now, you'll see two people in lots of pareshani.. Enjoy~~~

Chapter 12
Me Pareshan
Since she couldn't go shopping with me last time, Humeira dragged me with her to the mall. It was more to help her choose her stuff. But obviously I was a little too preoccupied with other stuff. And for some weird reason this mall just seemed special. And I won't say it has anything to do with the fact that last time I was here Mr. Khan put a ring on me here. I'm not that cheesy. Definitely, not!
Naye-naye naina mere dhoonde hain
Dar-badar kyun tujhe
Dar-badar kyun tujhe
"Gosh Zoya! Would you stop day dreaming and help me out!" Humeria clicked her fingers in front of my face trying to get my attention. When I finally looked at her, she was holding out two lehengas for me to choose from: a pink and red and a green and red one.
I picked the pink one and draped the dupatta on her. "Very pretty."
Naye-naye manzar yeh takte hain
Iss kadar kyun mujhe
Iss kadar kyun mujhe
"Good, Ayan likes pink too." She blushed. Oh yeah, in the morning she dropped that bomb on me. She likes Ayaan and he likes her. They knew each other from before and with the wedding flu going around, I guess, she caught a whiff of it too. The other day, the guy she ditched me for was him.
Ayaan's thought just shifted my mind to his brother. Thanks, Humeira, only when I finally stopped thinking about him.
Zara-zara phoolon pe jhadne laga dil mera
Zara-zara kaanton se lagne laga dil mera

I decided to buy some beautiful flowers like the heroines in a movie in love. I guess, flowers just seem a little bit more beautiful when you're in love.
But as soon as I did, I got pricked.

"See, be careful instead of spacing out." She held out a tissue and band aid for me.
"But the rose is too beautiful to be just scared of its thorns." I answered smiling. I sighed.. I guess, I can't help the cheesiness..

"Ok, seriously, now you have to tell me what's going on." Humeira asked me as we sat on the coffee shop.
"Nothing," I can't tell her. This is embarrassing. I love an engaged person. And that person happens to be my cousin. This is just a no-no on all fronts.

"So your smiling like a goof and being all spacey is just normal?" She danced her eyebrows at me. I ignored her for the moment.
Gash khaake galiyaan
Mudne lagi hain, mudne lagi hain
Raahon se teri, judney lagi hain, judney lagi hai
Chaubaare saare yeh meelon ke maare se
Poochhe hain tera pata
Mudne lagi hain, mudne lagi hain
Raahon se teri, judney lagi hain, judney lagi hai
Chaubaare saare yeh meelon ke maare se
Poochhe hain tera pata
"Are you really not telling me your secret even though I told you mine?"
I felt a little guilty but I..
"Fine! Tell me when you're ready!" She smiled putting a reassuring hand on mine.
"Speaking of Ayan, did you know Jiju also had an interest in architecture before?"
"What? No, I had no idea." I leaned in, suddenly very interested in the topic.
"And he graduated at the top of his class. But Uncle got sick, and Ayaan didn't know much business, so he had to take over. Ayaan feels really bad about it."
Zara zara chalne se thakne laga dil mera
Zara zara udne ko karne laga dil mera
Zara zara udne ko karne laga dil mera
"That's very nice of him."
I felt bad for him. I felt proud of him. Even if I had nothing to do with it or him.

I had no idea. I didn't know much about him... I don't even know his interests. Ayaan and Humeira know so much about each other...
Main pareshaan pareshan pareshaan pareshaan
Khwahison ka samaa
I wish I could get to know him... and his interests... know about things he couldn't tell anyone else.

"Wow you are looking pretty in this one. Do you want it?" I jumped to turn around when Humeira caught me trying one of the lehengas she bought.
"Now I'm sure you've fallen in love. The only question is who's the lucky guy." She smirked at me.
Bebaak aahein bharne lagi hoon
Bharne lagi hoon

"Humeira, good thing you are here. Learn something from her and Tanveer, Zoya." Ammi came in to give Humeira some food. And then she directed at me, "You don't even know the k in kitchen. Even if I tell you 24/7, you won't listen."
"Now, she even stopped doing anything. She just stands there since she came back from Goa!" She finished to Humeira who was just giggling to herself.
"Mumani, I think, use Goa ki hawa lag gayi!" She winked at me. And I glared at her.
"Nothing like that! I will cook something and Humeira, come, help me instead of saying ridiculous things since I helped you shop." I dragged her to the kitchen before she would spill everything.
Chaahat ke cheete hai, khaare bhi meethe hai
Main kya se kya ho gayi
Main kya se kya ho gayi
"You? Help me? Half the time you were day dreaming about someone." I hushed her so Ammi won't hear it and she just smiled with her eyes at me blushing.
Zara-zara fitrat badalne laga dil mera
Zara-zara kismat se ladne laga dil mera

"And the sun rose from the west today! Zoya Farooqui will cook!" She announced as we reached the kitchen. I'm not the jealous type and I wasn't competing with Tanveer. I just, maybe, a little...

"But please, don't day dream, otherwise you'll burn down the kitchen!"

I sat there staring at the picture... of Asad and Zoya in front of - what I'm assuming - his room in Goa. How dare she!
I wasn't going to let some random girl snatch Jammy from me. I loved him from the moment I met him and our 8 years together won't just vanish because Zoya from America interfered.
Thinking I was blind to her intentions, she tried to seduce my Asad with her innocence! Pareshan kar ke rakh diya, yeh ladki. They barely got to know each other in these 3 months and she wants to take my place in his life. How could she even dream of taking my place! Even if I die, I won't let her.
I paced around my room hoping that this time all the problems will be solved and Asad will finally get over Zoya. I could tell they weren't going to be just friends but before he could realize and do something, I already got that idea out of his mind. How could he fall in love with her! I made him realize that he doesn't know what love is. I know! I've loved him from the side lines for so many years. I understand him the most and only I can be with him.
I glanced at the picture again and crumpled it in my hands. If push comes to shove, I would just use this. I have no intention of ruining Asad's reputation over the pictures or the tape, if everything goes fine. Since I already planted in his mind that this is infatuation, poor simple Asad won't follow through or do anything stupid like confessing... I just need to keep quiet and see my move work its magic.
Only a month and half left before our wedding and I won't let any random girl destroy my dreams that I achieved after so much hardship. When I sent my rishta to Asad's family, I thought he would reject it but his family somehow persuaded him to agree. I was pleasantly surprised at the turn of events since I didn't have to lift a finger and everything was set. Everyone assumed it was love marriage because we knew each other for so long and Asad never corrected anyone. But I will make this true. I would soon make him love me.
If anyone comes in between us, I will make it impossible for her to even breathe peacefully.
