=======================================================================

Sunday :

Asad had promised to be at Aslams house for lunch He had not slept properly the previous night since he was continusoly reminded about the Fridays evening moments with Zoya and Adya... He finally woke up with a bad head ache.. when his phone had started ringing.. displaying Aslams name..

Aslam : Asad.. kya hua Asad ?? Tum ab tak so rahe ho ??

Asad : Raat dher se soya.. isliye.. batao kya baat hain..

Aslam : Tum bhoolgaye ho kya ?? Aaj tum lunch pe yahan anewale hona.. Najma intezar kar rahi hain..

Asad : Arre..yaar bhoolgaya tha.. main bus tayyar hoke ek ghante mein aajaoonga

Asad is a man of discipline and he did not want to get carried away with emotions He promised himself not to let disrespect time in future and he quickly gets ready

Aslams House :

Asad reached Aslams house.. and enjoyed the meal with Aslams family.. and as they were relaxing, their servant comes and informs them about a Guest waiting for them

Aslams ammi.. was very happy.. and she informs the servant to guide the guest to their drawing room..

Asad was surprised to see Salim over thereand Salim was also equally surprised

Salim : Sir aap yahan..

Asad : Yeh to muje poochna chahiye.. main to is parivar se bahut saal se janta hoon.. lekin aapko kabhi nahin dekha..

Najma : Bhaijaan.. zara sal.. Salim Bhaijaan.. Rehan ke door ke rishtedar hain.. bus kuch din pehle Rehan ki ammi inke barein mein bata rahi thiaap khade kyun hain Salim Bhaijaan.. aap baitiyen..

Salim : Ji shukriya... and he wishes Aslams ammi and abbu as well..

Aslams ammi : Salim.. aapke barein mein muje Rehan ke ammi se patha chala..

Salim: Ji.. bahut door ke rishtedar hain.. zyada nahin mile.. lekin pechli baar jab woh Bhopal ayithi.. tab achanak mulaqat hua tha ek sangeet main..

Aslams ammi : Janti hoon.. aur unhone hi bataya ki apki ek bahut khoobsoorat behen bhi hain..

Asad sensed what was coming up now and he did not know what to do or how to control the situation

Aslams ammi : Dekho Salim yeh mera beta Dr. Aslam hain.. aur iska padhayi sab UK mein hua hain.. ab tak wahi kaam bhi kar raha tha.. ab yeh Bhopal mein hi.. City Hospital main kaam kartha hain.. main chathi thi.. ki agar aap teek samje to hum apki behen ko dekhne ghar ajathe hain

Salim : Ji Shurkiya.. lekin Maaf kardijiye Zoya to abhi choti hain.. abhi woh padh rahi hain.. aur muje malum hai ki woh abhi nikaah nahin karna chathi hain.. woh kuch din kaam karna chathi hain

Aslams ammi : Teek hain na.. hum kaun sa mana kar rahein hain ??Nikaah ke baad bhi woh pad sakti hain.. aur agar woh chahe to kaam bhi karsakti hain.. Aap jante hain na.. ki humari beti Najma bhi school mein teacher hain.. to hume koi aitraaz nahin hoga ek baar dekh the hain.. baad mein agar in do bacchon ko ek dusre ko pasad karletein hain.. to baad mein yeh sab baat karsaktein hain..

Asad : Khala.. unhone kaha hain na.. ki Zoya abhi nikaah karna nahin chathi hain.. to aap kyun baat chalana chathe hain..

Aslam noticed the restlessness in Asad and knowing his friend since many years.. he now knew that there was something which Asad was hiding

Aslams ammi : Rehan ki ammi bata rahi ti ki masha allah Zoya bahut khoobsoorat hainaur acchi bhi hain

Salim was in a very uncomfortable situation. He very well knew that Zoya would get angry if he spoke about marriage now.. He wanted her to concentrate in her studies now that it was the Final semester and he had to politely find a way to get out this as well..

Aslam : Bhaijaan.. Zoya kya padh rahi hain ??

Salim : Ji woh Final Semester main hain.. Computer Sceince Engineering kar rahin hain

Aslam : Ammi.. main kisi engineer se nikaah nahin karsakta hoon.. aur woh bhi computer engineer to nahin..

Aslams ammi : Yeh kya kehrahein ho Aslam..

Aslam : Main teek kehra hoon Ammi.. Salim Bhaijaan.. humein maaf kardijiye.. ammi ne muje bina batayein aapko yahan buladiya tha..

Salim : Koi baat nahin.. to main abhi chaltha hoonshukriya

Asad thanked his allah for the narrow escape but he had to find a way so that Salim does not get convinced if any other such situation did crop upand he was lost in thinking this

Aslam : Kya baat hain Asad.. kahan kho gaye ho.. chalo terrace pe.. muje tumse kuch baat karni hain

Asad and Aslam both reach the terrace

Aslam : Main soch raha hoon.. agar ammi ne bataya ki Zoya bahut khoobsurat hain. ..to ek baar mile ne mein aur dekh ne main kya harz hain.. aur agar muje pasad agayi to.. accha hi hain na

Asad : Lekin abhi abhi tumne bataya ki tum kisi engineer se nikaah nahi karoge..

Aslam : Kehne main kya hain.. kya abhi ammi se jaa kar batadoon ki main pehle Zoya ko dekhoonga aur baad main faisla karoonga

Asad : Nahin.. woh Salim bhi kehrahein the na ki woh abhi nikaah karna nahin chathi hoon..

Aslam : Teek hain..muje bhi kya jaldi hain.. main sirf sagai karloonga abhi

Asad : Nahin.. tum aise nahin karsakte ho

Aslam : Kyun ??

Asad: Who actually.

Aslam : Kyunki.. mera is dost ka dil Zoya ke paas hain.. aur mere is dost ko muskurana sikhaya hain us saibaa ne..

Asad : Aisi koi baat nahin Aslam..

Aslam : Asad tum mujse bhi kyun chipa rahein ho ?? Batao.. baat kya hain??

Asad had to give in and he narrates the full story.. ..

Aslam : Ya allah .. itna kuch kar rahein ho.. aur usse tumhare barein Zyada patha nahin

Asad : Aslam.. main chatha hoon.. ki woh muje pasad karein.. aur mujse pyaar karein.. main phele uske aankh mein mereliye woh mohabat dekhna chatha hoon

Aslam : Aur agar woh dekhne se pehle tumara company join karegi to??

Asad: Zoya sab se alag hai Aslam.. dekhthe hain allah ne humare kismat mein kya likha hain..

Aslam : Main allah se dua karoonga ki tumhe Zoya miljaye

Asad smiles and he his happy to know that his friend understands him very well.. and both the friends hug each other..

Another week passy by and Asad had deliberately avoided his temptation and had not visited Zoya .. He had to go to US for next 6 months to sort out few critical business deals and he wanted to meet Zoya and also inform her that he would not be in town but he had to keep in touch with her and there was no way he could be away from her completely for such a long time.

Asad drove his car towards Zoyas college. He very well knew where she could be found at what time.. Thanks to PrasadLuckily he saw Zoya coming out on her scooty and she was aloneAsad got down from his car and he crosses the road and reaches her just in time before she moved away

Zoya : Aap.. yahan bhi ?? Aap yahan kya kar rahein hain ??

Asad smiles and without even taking her permission went and sat behind her on her scooty..

Zoya : Alla Miya..aap itne batameez kaise hain ?? Aap aise kaise bait sakthein hain bina mere ijjazat liye

Asad : Agar main gaadi chala raha tha.. to apko ghabrane ki zaroorat hain.. main apse baat karna chatha hoon.. to aap jahan lejana chathi hain.. wahan chaliye.aur haan Nupur kahan hain ??

Zoya : Nupur beemar hain.. teen din se..

Asad noted the sadness which was there in her voice for her best friend

Zoya : lekin .. aapko jo bhi baat karni hain.. yahin kijiye.. main aapko kahin leke janewali nahin hoon

Asad : soch lo Zoya.. muje koi problem nahin hain.. baad mein agar tumhare dost yahan ajayenge .. aur baad mein tumhe chedenge to isme meri koi galti nahin..??

Zoya : paas mein coffee day hain.. wahan chaltein hain

Coffee Day :

Zoya had settled down near a table which was close to the counter and very much in view of everybody in the Coffee shop.. Asad liked her presence of mind..

Zoya : Jaldi batayiyein kya baat hain ??

Asad : Adya kaisi hain ??

Zoya : Acchi hain.. Yeh poochne yahan tak ana pada ??

Asad : Pehle yehi batao aap kya logi.. ?? itminaan se baat karenge

Zoya : Ji muje ek cold coffee

Asad calls the waiter and orders one cold coffee for Zoya and a black coffee without sugar for himself...

Zoya : Bina shakkar ke kaise pithe hain aap ?? kadva hota hain na ??

Asad held himself from replying back to that..instead he just smiled and kept quiet

Asad : Zoya.. main agle chaar yaa paanch mahine US ja raha hoon apne office se.. main apko batakar jana chatha tha.. and he was very eager to know if that mattered to her a little at least

Zoya opened her eyes widely : itne dinon keliye.. Adya aap ko bahut miss karegi.. woh pichle do din se aapko yaad kar rahi thi

Asad : Aur aap ??

Zoya : Ji nahin.. Aapke abbu aur ammi itne din apke bagair rahenge kya ??

Asad : Ji Nahin.. mere abbu aur ammi is duniya main nahin hain.. main akela hoon

Zoya sensed the pain in his voice .. Without hesitating, she kept her hands on his with a understanding look on her faceShe knew how painful it was not to have parents but she was lucky enough to have her brother and sister-in-lawShe was somehow had a feeling to assure him that he was not alone

Zoya : Aap aise math kahiye.. koi akela nahin hota hain.. allah kisi na kisi ko bhejdete hain sahare keliye

Asad : Kya aap banogi meri sahara kya mujse dosti karogi ??

Zoya smiled at Asad and held out her hand for a hand shake.. Friends !!

Asad was extremely happy !!

Zoya : Aap kis company mein kaam kartein hain.??

Asad smiled at her.. :aap fir se jasoosi karnelagi mera yakeen kijiye..main ek acche company main kaam kar raha hoon.. jab main lautke aoonga tab zarror batadooonga .. abhi nahin bata sakta hoon.. meri majboori samaj lijiye..aur haan.. apke book dijiyeHe takes the book from her hand and writes down his mobile number in it

Asad : Muje malum hain..ki aap asani se apna number nahin denewali .. isliye mera number rakhiye.aur jab bhi man karein.. aap muje phone karlena.. aur muje accha lagega.. agar aap Adya se bhi baat karvadegi to

Zoya : Aap kab nikhal rahein hain yahaan se.. ??

Asad : Aaj raat ka flight hain

Zoya : oh ok.. to chale..shayad aap ko bahut sara kaam hoga

Asad : Ji kaam to hain.. lekin apko bina batayein.. main yahaan se nahin ja sakta tha..

Zoya : Aap ko mere barein mein itna sab kuch kaise malum hai ??

Asad smiled looking at her.. : aap patha kijiye.. bus clue hain.. apke koi kareeb se apke barein me patha chala

Zoya : Mere kisi dost ke bhai hain kya ??

Zoya : Kya aapka asli naam Asad hain ??

Asad: Haan Zoya .. mera asli naam Asad hi hain sharth manzoor hain??

Zoya : Ji

So with a new mission on her task list, Zoya tells bye and goes out of the coffee shop

Asad had to rush back to office to collect few important documents and again back to home before heading to the Airport.. As he was moving towards the Immigration , he gets a call from Zoyas landline

Adya : Dost.. aap itne dino keliye bahara ja rahein hain.. aur aap sirf poophi se mileaap mujse milne nahin ayemain apse katti hoon

Adyas words brought a sweet smile on Asads face.: Arre.. mere dost naraz hain.. Sorry Adya woh jaldi main tha .. isliye.. batao ab main kya karoon.. apka gussa kam karnekeliye??

Adya : Aap jaldi wapis ajayiye..hum khoob khelenge

Asad : Teek hain Adya.. aur Thank you !!

Adya : Happy Journey dost !!

Asad : Shukriya Adya!!

Adya : Ek minute. Poophi baat karna chathi hain

Zoya : Hi..aap Airport pounch gaye kya ??

Asad : Ji.. main abhi immigration officer ke paas jane wala tha

Zoya : Teek hain.. Happy and Safe Journey.. aur apke kaam keliye good luck !!

Asad : Thank you so much Zoya !! main aaj bahut kush hoon.. Pheli baar koi muje istarah wish karke bhej raha hainand he gets emotional

Zoya : Aap humare dost hain na.. to yeh humara farz hai.. Chaliye mein phone rakthi hoon.. aur haan jaldi se wapis ajayiye.. main aur Adya apka intezaar karenge

Zoya and Adya would ring up Asad once in a week on Sunday and as days passed by, Zoya had become more comfortable with Asad and she had infact shared her mobile number as well with him. Asad was loaded with lot of work and discussions and time was just flying.. He did miss Zoya a lot.. but work was not allowing his mind to stray away.He however enjoyed the weekly calls which he had with Zoya and Adya and all the three of them loved the bond that they shared with each other Zeenath and Salim had also noticed this and they were also happy for Zoya..

It was now nearly 6 months since Asad had left for US. Zoyas final semester had also got completed and she had again topped in the college.. She was excited about her first day in AAK software Services.

AAK Software Office :

All the 9 students were welcomed by Piyush and the entire team had to go through the induction program for half of the day.. Zoya noticed that there was lot of excitement in the office

Zoya : Sir.. office mein itni excitement hain aaj.. Kya baat hain ??

Piyush : Humare MD Asad Ahmed Khan bahut din se business travel main the.. aaj office wapis aa rahein hain.. isliye

The fresher team was briefed with the training details which they had to go through and they were also told that they would be having a meeting towards the end of the day with their MD.. Farhaan, Zoya and Nupur were all getting along well with Karan, Humeira , Tanya , Peter, Saif and Raj who were the other selected campus recruits from other collegeand each one were excited to meet their MD who was just 26 in age running such a huge business successfully

As Asad walked into the meeting room to meet the Freshers batch along with Piyush and Salim, he noticed the shocked expression on Zoyas face.. He purposely avoided looking towards her and addressed the group by letting them know that they were the best 9 in the campus and the reason for why he wanted to build the young team..After that each one of them was introduced by Piyush to Asad..

Asad : I hope you all are with me and you will not let my expectations down..and through the corner of his eyes, he could see that there was little drops of tears in Zoyas eyes.. and he was not sure why Zoya had tears in her eyes

Asad : Zoya Khan.. aap is group ke topper hain.. main aapse baat karna chatha hoon kya aap mere cabin mein ayegi ?? surprising Piyush and also Salim...

Piyush guided Zoya to Asads roomAfter knocking and waiting few seconds, Zoya went into Asads room

Zoya : Yes Mr. Khan Batayiyen.. aap mujse kyun milna chathe the ??

Asad got up and came to her.. and looking into her eyes..: Kya baat hain Zoya ?? Tum ro kyun rahi thi ??

Zoya angrily looked back at himbut she did not utter anything

Asad : Zoya jane se pehle maine bataya tha na.. ki agar tum mere barein mein patha lagaogi.. tum tum jeeth jaogi.. aur tum jo bhi mangogi.. who main dene keliye tayyar hoon.. aur haan tum ne bhi mana tha ki agar mere lautne se pehle patha nahin laga paogi to main jeet jaonga aur apko main jo bhi chaoonga woh dena padega

Zoya : Aap chathe kya hain mujse??

Asad: bataoonga.. bataoonga.. phele aap kaam to shuru kijiye.

Zoya : Mere samaj mein sab aa raha hain.aapne janboojke mujse dosti ki.. aur aap chathe the ki main aap ke company mein kaam karoon

Asad : Humara dosti.. kaam se math jodho.. tum galat samaj rahi ho

Zoya just stares back at Asad and turned around to leave.. but Asad immediately catches hold of her hand in a tight grip

Zoya : Mr. Khan.. aap chodiye.. muje..

Asad : Asad se .. Mr Khan.. kyun kehrahi ho.. ??

Zoya : Apne dosti ka natak kiya hain.. main nahin janti ki aap chathe kya hai.. lekin itna janti hoon ki aapne yeh sab soch samaj kiya hain.. Main apse dosti todh thi hoon...You are hurting me.. chodiye muje

Asad really got angry hearing her wordsand inspite of her request his grip on her hand did not loosen..

Asad : Maine apko ek samajdar ladki samja..muje nahin malum tha ki aap personal aur professional life mix karegi..aur haan.. aap jo samajna hain aap samjiye.. main aapko door jane nahin doongaBy the time he had finished telling this, his eyes had turned red .. and he left Zoyas hand

Zoya very calmly just looked back at him and got out of his cabin and joined her friends

Asad had never lost his temper so badly in the recent times under any circumstances.. He did get wild with anger and break things in his room whenever he had an argument with his dad Rashid.. He missed his mom very badly and he blamed his dad for her death as well since his dad had not taken proper care of his mother and neglected her during the time of her illness when she need him the mostHe hated people who were not sensitive to the others feelings..He had fallen in love with Zoya from day one and the more he knew about her his love towards her had only increased but today when she mentioned that she would break their Friendship, he felt at that moment that she was like his dad and insensitive to his feelings.. He could not afford to loose her now after 7 months of friendship. Every week Zoya would ring up Asad and they had shared a quality hour speaking to each other and discussing their likes , experiences in school etc.. and her words had hit him very badly..

On the other hand, Zoya was also very badly shaken.. She had seen only the soft part of Asad all these days.. She had considered him to be a very good friend like Farhaan, Nupur, Arjun and Ayaan.. She was happy with the bond which they shared since the last 6 months over phone and also the bonding which he shared with Adya was also lovable.. but what she failed to understand was why he had got so angry ?? and why he had not disclosed the fact that she he was the MD of AAK Empire

As she returned to join her friends in the meeting room, they excitedly gathered around her..

Farhaan : Kya baat hain Zoya ?? MD ne sirf tumhe kyun bulaya tha ??

Zoya : Farhaan woh sirf campus interview ke experience ke barein me pooch rahein the.aur unhone kaha ki hum sab ko innovate se kaam karna chahiye

Tanya : Yeh to yahaan bhi keh saktein the na ?? to sirf tumhe kyun bulaya..??

Zoya : Tanya..hume aise baatein karna nahin chahiye

Tanya : Main janti hoon tum jaise ladkiyon ko..

Karan : Tanya.. chill.. tum aise kyun behave kar rahi ho ?? chalo yahan se.and he literally dragged her out of the room.. and Humeira meekly told sorry Zoya for Tanyas behavior and excused herself

Zoya : Farhaan.. sab teek chal raha tha.. aur ab yeh kya musibat hain yaar

Nupur : Zoya chodo na.. chalo ghar chaltein hain.. aaj ka office time hogaya na

Farhaan : Haan Zoya chalo yaar chalthe hain.. and they all tell bye to the gang of 3 boys from the other college and disperse

Zoya was strangely very quiet on her way back home and Nupur also did not trouble her with any questions.. because she knew Zoya was upset with Tanyas behavior and she also felt that their MD Asad was the same Asad who had become Zoyas friend now.. since she had seen him once in the ice-cream parlour .. Nupur vaguely remembered the incident but she was not able to figure out if it was the same guy and she did not want to upset Zoya any further

Zoyas House :

Zeenat : Agai Zoya.. kaise rahan pehla din.. aur tumhare Bhaijaan kahan hain..

Zoya : Babhi .. maine unse poocha hi nahin..humara aaj ka training khatam hote hi.. main aur Nuput agaye

Zeenat : chalo koi baat nahin.. phone karke poochloongi..lekin tumhara chehra itna uthra hua kyun hain beta ??

Zoya : Babhi.. itne din.. student thi na.. har din Adya ko bhi khelne le jathi thi.. ab main woh sab kuch miss karoongi

Zeenat :Bus itni si baat.. Timings change karlo dono.. agar late hojaogi.. to us din phone karke bata dena.. main Adya ko bahar leke jaoongi

Zoya : Thank you Babhi and she hugged her

Adya also came to them and hugged her mother and poophi..

On the other hand Asad was disturbed and he wanted somebody to discuss his pain.. So he decided to discuss with his friend AslamAslam knew about the weekly call between Asad and Zoya and he was happy to see the joy in Asads face these days

Aslam was surprised to see Asad waiting in his house when Aslam returned from hospital..Looking at Asad he knew that he was disturbed.. and so both the friends go up to the terrace

Aslam : Batao.. Asad.. kya problem hain?? Itna pareshan kyun ho ??

Asad told Aslam whatever had happened in his office between Zoya and himself..

Aslam : Fine..Phele yeh batao tumhe itna gussa kyun aya..??

Asad : Woh kaise mujse dosti todh ne ki baat kar sakti hain ?? main usse bahut pyaar karta hoon Aslam.. main usse khona nahin chatha hoonmain chatha hoon ki woh muje samjeaur main chatha hoon ki woh mujse bahut pyaar karein

Aslam :hmm.. ishq se zyada .. kya kehte hain.. junoon bangaya hain.. ab tumhe..

Asad did not answer.. He was quiet

Aslam : Asad agar tum usse nahin bataoge.. aur pyaar se nahin samjaoge.. to wo tumse kaise pyaar karegi. ?? Dosti to tum dono main hain.. tum samjao use ki tumne kyun yeh sab kuch kiya.. I am sure woh samajlegi.. aur tumhe apnayegi.bus todha waqt do usse.. aur tum bhi usse samaj ne ki koshish karo please

Asad finally relaxed after hearing what Aslam told : Shayad tum teek keh rahein ho Aslam.. Main usse sab kuch bataoongi..

He text messaged Zoya with a SORRY !! but Zoya neither replied back nor received his call which he had tried after waiting for sometime and had not got any reply for his message.
