Hello again. Thank you those who liked the first chapter. Here is the 2^nd installment. This one is for Linsie, she has been asking me to update.😊

Hope you all enjoy it😳

I rushed downstairs even though my heart and mind were in turmoil. I moved around in a haze greeting guests and helping my Ammi at the same time. I was passing by the window when I suddenly noticed the full moon. I sighed as I leaned against the window shutter closing my eyes as memories rushed in without permission.

Flashback

Asad and Zoya were sitting by the lake in each other's arms wrapped with a shawl against the cold, content with the comfortable silence they shared. Normally, they would never meet so late at night but this was an exception. Their school had come on a 3-day camping trip and Zoya's parents had let her come. Asad had saved up money over the months especially for this trip so he could spend time with Zoya.

I sighed happily as I sat with my back resting against his chest, "Isn't it beautiful out here?"

"Hmmm, it is", he replied back brushing a soft kiss on my hair with closed eyes.

"Asad, your eyes are not even open. I am talking about the lake. And look at the full moon. It's just breathtaking."

He tightened his hold around my waist and I turned around to look at him. He cupped my face and stared intently at me.

"Asad, what are you doing? I am telling you to look at the moon.", I explained as I nudged his face towards the sky. He looked at it for a second before he went back to cradling my face. I looked at him with a confused expression

"I am looking at my moon. The moon's beauty is nothing compared to my Zoya's beauty. And for me you are the most beautiful in the world..", he said as he kissed my forehead

Flashback end

"Zoya beta, what's wrong?", Ammi asked as she caught me standing by myself.

I hastened to wipe my lingering tears but my Ammi caught me with that too. She instantly reached up and wiped my tears as she looked at me with worry.

"Zoya, Is everything okay ? Why are you crying?", she asked as she held me in her arms.

I silently thanked Allah for giving me another mother who was so caring; who made sure I never missed my own mother. I wiped the last of my tears and touched her cheek as I looked at her.

"Don't worry mommy, everything is okay. It's just that...Humeria...is going to leave today. My sister and best friend is getting married.", I said attempting to stop her queries. I know she loved and cared for me but I could never tell her the real reason for my tears; I couldn't stand to lose another mother.

"Oh my bacha, daughters have to get married someday; it's what our tradition is. After Humeria, my Zoya is going to get married too.", she said with love as she kissed my forehead. I stayed silent in response.

"I am going to see if Humeria is ready yet.", I said before I raced up the stairs. I contemplated if I should tell Humeria about Asad; it would be better if she knew about it before she saw him tonight. I went to her room and saw her all ready as a bride. She was clad in a red and golden lengha with matching ornaments looking like a beauty.

"You look beautiful Humzie, Ayaan won't be able to take his eyes of you", I complimented as I gave her a hug. The other females in the room silently filed out giving us sisters a moment.

We both sat on the bed and I instantly hugged her close sneaking comfort in the person I trusted the most after Asad. Humeria was quick to notice my behaviour, as she always does.

"Zoe, what's wrong ,baby?", she asked as she held my shoulders and tried to read my face which according to her and Asad told the whole story.

"He is back.", was all I said before I hugged her once again as my tears hit the works.

"Asad?", she asked but I could tell she knew the answer already. There was only one man in the world I loved with all my heart. It didn't matter that I didn't marry him for my parents' sake but I never married anyone else either. And it was the reason I lost my parents; it was the reason my parents died, which I never forgave myself.

Flashback

I made my way back home after I said farewell to Asad at the beach for the sake of my parents. My Ammi, Razia opened the door as I rang the doorbell. She gasped as she saw me drenched. She instantly pulled me in from the stormy rain.

"Zoya, you are soaked. What were you doing out so late in this rain? Let me take you upstairs or you will get sick in this weather.", she said as she held me by the shoulders. My Abbu glanced up from his laptop as he saw me. I shrugged her hands off my shoulders and she looked at me with a hurt expression, which I ignored.

"Zoya, go upstairs and change.", my Abbu instructed in a stern voice. My eyes filled with tears at my Abbus cold voice; I was always his princess who he never denied anything except the person I loved with all my heart.

"Imran, bring me a towel, some blankets and tea", my mother hollered at the servant.

"There is no need for you to worry about me. I can take care of myself.", I said as I walked passed them to the stairs. They looked at each other with saddened expression but I didn't feel guilty. I stopped at the middle of the staircase to look back at them.

"I left Asad for your sake because you disapprove of him but just so you know, I vow to you today that I will never ever marry anyone else. I only belong to Asad Ahmed Khan.", I said before I started up the stairs again but my Abbu's voice stopped me.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? GET YOU MARRIED OFF TO THE MAN WHO CAN HARDLY SUPPORT HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY?", my Abbu yelled as my Ammi placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down.

"I can't give your hand in marriage to a man who is incapable of taking care of my daughter.", he continued.

"But Abbu--",I attempted

"NO Zoya, this is my final decision. You will not get married to a man who has no status in our society. I never minded your friendship thinking you were being kind to a less fortune boy but to marry him is just out of question.", he said sternly.

"If you gave your decision then hear mine too; I will never ever marry anyone else other than Asad."I screamed before I ran up the rest of the stairs in tears.

"YES YOU WILL, Zoya Siddqui", my dad yelled loud enough for me to hear.

I threw myself on my bed as I cried my heart out. I pulled his photo frame from under my pillow; I ran my fingers along the glass dying to touch his skin as tears dropped on the glass.

"Asad, I love you. I will never let anyone take your place.", I whispered as I kissed his picture. "I love you", I whispered repeatedly looking at his picture.

"No Razia, I will go talk to Dilshad Bi and inform her what her son has been up to. She thinks he is so decent.", I heard my father tell my mother. I was angered that he was including Asad's sweet Ammi in this too. The woman already has suffered the loss of husband when Asad was only five years old. She worked hard to raise Asad on her own giving him the best of values. She wouldn't be able to bear if someone spoke ill of her loved son; if someone questioned her upbringing.

"Sunyie Ji, wait till the morning. The weather is so terrible outside, it's not safe to drive in this weather.", my Ammi pleaded with him.

I heard them argue some more as my mother tried to convince him to wait till the morning but my father was stubborn; now you know where I get my stubbornness.

"Fine then, I am coming with you too.", my mother concluded. Soon I heard the door closing. I didn't care as I continued to hug Asad's picture and cried.

I stirred as I heard the phone ringing ; I lifted my head up in attempts to get up but it stopped ringing. I dozed off again.

I stirred once again as I heard loud pounding at the front door this time. I glanced at the clock as I rubbed my eyes. I gasped to see it was four in the morning. I instantly got afraid wondering who it could be so late. I apprehensively made my way downstairs looking at the darkened rooms wondering where my parents were; could it be that they had not returned yet? But they had left around ten.

I switched on lights as I went to the front door, "Who is it?", I asked fearfully

"Police", a deep voice came from the other side.

I opened the door to find two middle aged police officers at my doorstep.

"Zoya Siddiqui ?", they asked. I nodded slowly.

"Is everything okay officer?", I asked fearfully.

" I am sorry but your parents Razia and Gaffur Siddiqui have died in a car crash. They passed away on the spot. I am so sorry", one of the officer said sadly.

I felt my world spin as I took in his words but refused to believe them, I fall to my knees unable to stand up.

Flashback end..

"That was the day I lost everyone I loved; my parents and my Asad. I lost my parents because I wanted to be with Asad. And I lost Asad because of my parents ", I said as I stayed in Humerias embrace.

"But Zoe, you have us. We are your family, are we not?", Humeria asked.

I instantly nodded, "Of course stupid, you are the only family I have left, if it wasn't for your parents who adopted after my parents' death then I would have no one. They gave me a family, a name and brought us all the way to New York to start a new life; where the old memories wouldn't haunt me."

"Why are you calling them my parents? Are they not your parents too? Am I not your sister and is Nuzhat not your sister?", Humeria asked, looking a little hurt.

I touched her cheek lightly, "Of course they are, and this family is my everything now. But Asad doesn't know that .He only knows that my parents died and I vanished somewhere. We made sure that no one would ever tell him that I came to New York with you.", I said as I stood up. I walked to the open window and felt the soft breeze. I couldn't help but gaze at the moon again remembering the words he said years ago.

I am looking at my moon. The moon's beauty is nothing compared to my Zoya's beauty. And for me you are the most beautiful in the world.

"So what, you can tell him the truth now. I know you still love him.", Humeria said as she stood behind me with her hand on my shoulder.

I sighed sadly, "It doesn't matter if I love him or not. It's been ten years, Humeria. What if he has someone in his life?"

"But Zoe, you know that there wouldn't---"

" And it doesn't even matter now. Because Asad and Zoya are not destined to be together and I can't lose my parents once again.", I said with determination as I wiped the last of my tears away.
