-ASYA ONE SHOT-
~|| It's just you and me tonight ||~
It was 11 in the night and everyone in the Khan household had gone to sleep.
Zoya on the other hand was surprisingly wide-awake. She kept twisting and turning in her bed desperately trying to sleep but it was as if Insomnia had hit her. Her mind kept darting back to the events of the last few days. So much has happened with Tanveer leaving and the atmosphere of the house finally going back to normal that she couldn't help but think all about it.
On the bright side the memories of a rather cheerful Mr. Khan made her heart flutter like anything. I want to spoil you Zoya' had been ringing in her head constantly, making it difficult for him not to invade her thoughts.
And before she knew it, the times she had spent with him ever since she stepped in the Khan Mansion, came flooding back to her. She remembered everything about him, every action, every glare and every smile he had cleverly tried to mask behind that hideous newspaper. His smile always got to her. There was something magical about it. Rather there was something magical' about him.
How is it possible that I fall in love with him every time I thing about him? I must be crazy!
She was missing him terribly even though he was just across the hall in his room. She wanted to see his face...like right now! She wanted to be with him more than anything else at the moment.
Yes! I will just go see him now! That's it...otherwise I'll die thinking about him. A nice chat always does the trick.
Without thinking twice she rushed to his room but sadly found the door locked from the inside.
Allah Miyan what to do now? and then it struck her... there is always the window'!
She carefully hopped in from the other side of the window making her way in Asad's room silently. It was pretty dark inside with only the moonlight peaking in from the blinds.
Asad was sleeping peacefully on the right corner of his bed completely unaware of Zoya's presence.
Why the hell does he have to look this gorgeous ALL THE TIME? Even when he is asleep? I feel like eating him right now!
For a second she couldn't take her eyes off his manly form. His broad shoulders and admirable posture was making her drool like a love struck teenager.
Enough with the Ogling Zoya! He is yours... All yours!
She gradually tip- toed to where Asad was sleeping and planted a soft kiss on his cheek. Oh My God kissing him is the best thing EVER!!! Why didn't I try it before? Silly me!
Zoya was constantly smiling, as he remained sleeping innocently, unaffected by her advances. She then cupped his face and turned to the other cheek and kissed him, this time it lasted a bit longer. To her surprise Asad suddenly sprung up with a baffled expression on his face, partly due to finding Zoya at such a close proximity.
"Zoya what are you doing here in my room? Do you even know the time?" Asad snapped at her harshly, not that he intended to.
To say that she was miffed would be an understatement of epic proportions. She wanted to BLOW up!
What does he think of himself? First I come to meet him and rather than being all romantic he is showing THE ANGRY Ahmed Khan side to me! Arghhh...
" And ermm...a...Zo-...Zoya ...you K...Kissed me?" He stuttered nervously.
"Yeah, I did. So? Do you have a problem with this also? I can kiss you anytime I want! It's better that you make your self habitual." Zoya stated with irritation clearly reflecting in her tone.
Asad smiled at the authoritarian voice of his soon-to-be wife. He never showed but he liked it when she behaved like this.
"a...a...Okay! But why so suddenly? I mean is something wrong? Are you upset?"
His concerned voice mellowed her down a bit.
" Arrey nahin Mr. Khan...I am not upset or anything. Achha tell me why would a girl come to his fiance's room just like that?"
" Why?" He asked curiously. " You know that I'm not good with riddles."
"Uff!!! Mere Mr. Buddhu Khan! ...Okay let me tell you why" She walked up to the couch besides the large window and braced herself comfortably. "A girl would do this because she wants to be with her guy...It's like she just wants to see him...or maybe talk...".
"So this is what all of this is about! You were MISSING me!" Asad exclaimed playfully. He knew that this might irk Zoya a bit more and he would be able to enjoy more of their stupid bickering.
" Don't give yourself so much importance Mr. Khan. I was in no way missing' you. I just thought being here with you would be much better than forcing myself to sleep. That's it. End of story." She took a pause and the continued, " And by the way aap itne door door kyun bhaite hain? Ab main apki fiance hoon, mere paas bhaitne me apko sharm nahin aani chahiye!" She started laughing the minute she said this. Mocking him is the best thing EVER!! No wait. Correction. Kissing him is the best thing ever and then comes the mocking part!
Like an obedient husband, Asad got up and sat next to her on the couch. He was quiet amused seeing Zoya in a flirty' mode. For him everything was new as new' can be. All his life, He has never been around girls, apart from the ones in his family, and hence had no idea whatsoever of how their brain worked. The love' thing and all the other things associated with it confused him a lot but he was slowly learning the dynamics of the girl-boy relationship. One day I will master it! He thought, as if it required incorporating mechanical skills. (This was so Asad!)
Both of them were now facing each other and were deeply lost in each other's eyes. The moonlight falling on Zoya's face was making her look ethereal and Asad couldn't help but stare. He was mesmerized by her beauty and charm.
Zoya was otherwise not a sharmili' or the blush-y' kind but Asad had a different effect on her. She caught his piercing gaze and her cheeks flushed with various shades of crimson adorning her face.
" WHAT?" she finally spoke breaking their eye contact, " Don't look at me like that".
"You are beautiful."
"who tho main hoon!" She giggled proudly.
Asad nodded his head in amazement.
" Well whatever Mr. Khan...achha yeh bataiye ki aap sote waqt itne peaceful...itne Cute kaise lag sakte hain? You know ...I look like a mad monkey when I sleep!"
"Tho main apko cute' Lagta hoon?"
"Cute nahin...bahut bahut bahut cuteee..." Zoya squealed pulling Asad's cheeks with her hands childishly.
"Ouch!"
" What the hell Mr. Khan! Maine suna tha Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota'! Lekin aap tho itne mein hi Aah- Oooh- Ouch Karne Lage" One thing was clear Zoya loved teasing him.
" Where do you get all these melodramatic lines from? Mujhe pehle shaq tha lekin ab yakeen ho gaya hai ki aap PAAGAL hain!"
" How dare you call me Paagal!! Abhi batati hoon main aapko ki apni hone wali biwi ko paagal kehne ka anjaam kya hota hai"
She stood up on her knees, picking a cushion from the side and threw it on his face. To her surprise Asad did the same and started tickling her in return. For a good fifteen minutes they played like three year olds and laughed their hearts out. After a very long time happiness has returned in their lives and they wanted to make the most of it.
" Mr. Khan, It always strikes me that we have done so much together. We have fought like crazy, danced in the rain, sung songs, escaped the goons...but what we haven't done is just plain talk'. Don't you think? You know the kind when one tells the other about their past life and all the small little things, the minute details..." She paused to see if any of it was making sense to Asad.
" So, Ms. Farooqi what do you want to know?". Asad completely understood what Zoya was hinting at. They have known each other for a short period of time and even though they were aware of each other's deepest secrets, it's the little things they have left out.
"Okay so uhh..." Zoya thought for a while " let's start with...How was college?"
" It was nice."
" What nice'? Please Mr. Khan no monosyllables today!"
" Well it was more of studies. I had to do well so that I get accepted in a good firm. I had responsibilities, Najma and ammi were both dependent on how I would turn out to be"
" And Friends? I have never met any of yours"
"Hardly any! Ayaan was the only one close to me. He was my friend."
"And ermm...a...Girlfriend?" Zoya knew the answer but still wanted to go ahead with the question. At the back of her mind she always wanted to know this. After all he was a criminally handsome man!
"A girlfriend?...seriously?...NO!...isn't that obvious?"
"It most certainly isn't! With looks like yours...I am sure a hundred girls would have thrown themselves at you! Girls love men like you...all gorgeous ...six-packs and perfect hair!" Zoya had a sudden disturbing image of girls falling over her Asad. I will kill you, Bitches! All of you!
All this while Asad enjoyed the look of jealousy on her face.
" Now tell me about your college, New York?...Your Friends?"
" Okay so After I completed my masters degree in software engineering I worked in a software company for four months before I came here. College was actually fun! I had two closest friends in the world, Jenna and Farhan. I am still in touch with them. They know ALL about you"
Asad listened to all she had to say but the mention of a Farhaan' caught his attention.
"Farhaan?"
" Ya, ...he is my bestest friend. After college we worked in the software company together. He is a good person. Very understanding. I am sure you will love him when you meet him. He will be coming for the wedding. Gosh! I am so excited!!!".
Asad was not liking how Zoya praised her so called understanding' friend Farhaan. He was, well...Jealous.
" So, was he your boyfriend?" He crossed his heart and sincerely hoped for a No'...
" Nooo...ewww...No...we were just friends'. He was not my boyfriend!"
"Then who was?"
" Arrey.!! ...Ok I see that you are burning with jealousy...but let me tell you...I have never had a boyfriend. Just crushes...you know ... the stupid High school ones"
Asad breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that everyone has pasts and it wouldn't have mattered even if she had one but he thanked the lords that she didn't! He was saner that way.
Zoya knew that Asad wasn't comfortable with the boy' talk so she didn't push it. Although the jealousy that was visible on his face made her feel kinda good! He looks insanely hot with that grim expression! If things remain as they are...i'll surely die just looking at him!
She drifted close to him and rested her head on his chest encircling her arm around his waist. Asad could swear that he felt electricity run through his body. He noticed how she smelled liked vanilla and her nose, which was nuzzling in his chest send tingles down his spine. He felt complete having her so close but felt a tad bit shy to make a move.
"Mr. Khan I have only fallen in love with one person in my life and that person is you. It will always be you. Excuse me for being filmy' but I am deeply, madly and irrevocably in love with you and everything about you. Have I ever told you what effect your sexy smirk has on me? It kills me" She blushed a little and continued, "All my wishes have come true now that I have found you. You are my Prince Charming' and my Mr. Perfect'. I love you. And only YOU" With the last word she pecked him around his neck sensuously. This gesture of her was enough to play havoc with Asad's senses. His insides were in for a ride!
Her words brought a wide smile on his face and made him realize how lucky he was to have such an angel like Zoya to love him. "Zoya...I love you too...I never thought that I would ever fall in love with someone...but when you came in my life...loving you has become my religion. You made me realize the importance of life...Thank You..." He lifted her face, gently cupping it with both hands, and kissed her nose.
Allah Miyaan!!! Did Akdu Ahmed Khan just kiss me???? I change all my statements. Getting kissed by him is the best thing EVER!!!
And before he could cross all limits, he drew himself away gently. It took all the self-control in the world for Asad to do what he did.
"Ran out of questions Zoya?"
Zoya was already in the moment of trance and waited for Asad to come closer to her. Much to her disappointment he did exactly what Asad Ahmed Khan would do...open the doors of heaven and then Bang it shut the other minute!
"Ohh...No no...I have plenty...your favourite food?"
FOOD! Bloody Food!!!...all I can think of now is to eat him! Allah Miyaan why this torture? Will he always shy away like this?
"Anything that ammi makes"
"Mine's Pizza!"
"Trust me Ms. Farooqui I know it" He remembered all those times when he had found pizza slices strewn all over the house. Nevertheless, he thought, she's cute!
" Any songs you like?"
"Zindagi Ki yehi reet hai...Ammi used to sing this song to me and Najma...however bad the circumstances were...it always lifted our spirits."
" WOW I remember you singing that Mr. Khan...That's the first shock you gave me...all I thought was...Akdu Ahmed Khan can sing!" Zoya laughed at the memory. She never mentioned but that was the first time she noticed a softer side to Asad. "Mr. Khan you forgot one song...Jaane Kyun Log Pyaar Karte Hain..." She hummed along the lyrics, which reminded him of the glorious bath tub' incident, he had regretted all this while. After all it marked the birth of Jahanpanah Six-Packs'!
This Girl will surely kill me with embarresment one day!
He diverted the discussion to lesser controversial topics, "Err...Ms. Farooqui...Can we not go there?... You like music?".
Zoya smiled noticing Asad shifting uncomfortably. Yeyeee!!! I again managed to tease him!...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
"I love music...everything and anything Beatles! They are a classic! People don't make such music anymore...I just LOVE them..."
" Your favourite place in the whole world?"
"You already know it Mr. Khan."
"No I don't
" Your arms..." She said sheepishly," I know it's cheesy but a hundred percent true! I have never felt safer anywhere...It magically relaxes me...You remember the time in Mangalpur? The way you held me close to yourself made me forget of all the things that happened to me. All I could think about was me and you together. I know I can never be safer anywhere but there..."
It took a minute for Asad to realize what Zoya has just said.
Does she trust me so much?
He realized how much he meant to her and vowed that he would always be there to protect her for life. Zoya, on noticing the sudden change of expression on his face, took his hand in hers and gave an assuring smile.
I know you will always be there for me.
"So what's your favourite place in the world, like literally" Zoya again posed a question at him.
"Hmmm...I don't know...I have traveled a lot...but those were strictly business trips...I really can't say..."
" Don't worry Mr. Khan! We will together explore what the world has to offer! I hope you haven't forgotten my Honeymoon in Paris Plan."
Asad gave a slight nod as she continued to explain her ideas making funny animated expressions.
"Two years ago, a friend of mine went to Paris for honeymoon. She and her husband kissed standing on the Eiffel Tower! I mean How ROMANTIC is that???? Ever since she has told me, it has become my ultimate marriage fantasy! So when we go there you have to kiss me on the Eiffel Tower, Okay?"
"You have a marriage-fantasy'?"
That's what he got from that? What about the Kissing' part?
"D-U-H!!! Ofcourse I have! I am a GIRL in case you forgot. Us Girls, Plan everything before! It always comes handy!"
Asad finally came to a conclusion that understanding girls was a hundred times difficult than making sense out of those dreaded laws of Physics! The Girl-World had even twisted laws.
"Don't You have a marriage fantasy Mr. khan?"
"Nope I don't"
"C'mon think of something atleast!"
"I will think about it when we are in Paris" Asad knew exactly what he fantasized about. Him and Zoya and hmmm...the Naughty' stuff.
Zoya blushed a little. She understood what he meant by I-will-tell-you-in Paris'.
YIIPEE!!! So he isn't that emotionally or...err...sexually challenged afterall?...Paris we are coming!
"One more thing Mr. Khan...see I know you weren't a ladies man that means impressing them was never your priority...so how come you took up body building? I mean those six-packs must be for a reason" She asked him genuinely. How I love these six-packs! Thanks Almighty for that!
"No reason in particular...I like keeping fit and so I started working out...It may sound weird but I was always fascinated by the movie Rambo...Sylvester Stallone was kind of my idol...That may have influenced me"
"No wonders Mr. Khan...I mean look at you, you are no less than Rambo! You again surprised me...I never thought you were into movies!"
"I am not...It's just I like a few action ones I like. That's it. The melodramatic crap that they have in cinema repels me like anything."
"Well I also like action movies but my preferred genre is undoubtedly Romance" Zoya exclaimed with a soft gush, "Sound of Music is my all time favourite! Now that I relate to it, it makes it even more special!"
"How can you relate to a movie? That to a film based on romance. They are largely unrealistic."
"No they are not! It's most certainly REAL. Sound Of Music is basically you and me on celluloid."
"And how exactly?"
"Well you are the uptight brooding handsome debonair, Captain Von Trapp and I am the ever so chirpy and bubbly Maria! They are different as chalk and cheese but when their lives collide, they fall hopelessly in love. Like Us!"
Asad smiled at Zoya's hypothesis. He indeed was hopelessly and irrevocably in love with her!
Zoya looked at the wall clock and it was already one. She hadn't had dinner properly and hence was feeling very very hungry. "Mr. Khan do you want to eat something? I am feeling very hungry..."
"Who actually... Zoya I am not but If you are then I will just go and get something from the kitchen...I think Najma had bought pastries in the evening..."
"Get it for yourself also... I don't want to eat alone and look like a fat mouse!" Zoya said with a goofy smile playing on her lips.
After a short while Asad returned with two plates and the pastries.
Allah Miyaan what's wrong with him? Two Plates? Hasn't he heard of the fact that lovebirds' eat in the same plate? LIKE Jhootha khaane se pyar bhadtha hai' and all? But then what can you expect from Mr.Khan?
Asad neatly placed the slices in the plates and handed one to Zoya along with a spoon. She was so hungry that she ate it almost instantly off the plate!
Mmm... gooeye choclate...can it get better than that? Nah...
She kept her plate on the coffee table and looked up at him. What caught her attention was the careless piece of chocolate stuck at the corner of Asad's lips. * Can it get better than that? *...Hell Yeah...
She herself didn't know what got into her and suddenly she found herself sitting on Asad's lap facing him. Asad was a liitle confused and had no ideas what was on her mind.
The intensity of the situation made them feel like they were dreaming. Zoya's eyes bore seductively in Asad's and for a moment the time stood still. Both of them could sense the feelings, which were until now alien to them, seeping into them gradually.
She bent forward closing the already small distance between them and without a word moved her hands to cup his face gently.
Asad was drastically caught in the complex moment...He knew that all of it was too soon but his heart had different plans...and for the moment he let Zoya take the charge.
It was unexplainable what Zoya was feeling. His relaxed form was so inviting that for once she wanted to loose all her guards and let her emotions take control...
She ran her finger along the sides of his chiseled face, caressing his cheeks simultaneously. The slightest of gesture made Asad's heart pound out in his chest.
Her attention then got back to the choclate glazing his lips. She dipped her head further and kissed it off the corner off his lips, not wanting to go ahead so soon. She again went back to kissing his cheeks softly, her heart fluttering wildly. Using her hands she tilted his face slightly and ran her nose along the line, planting numerous open mouthed kisses on her way.
She moved up to his ear and softly hissed, "I love you...Asad...",her hands now ruffling his hair with immense fondness.
That did it for Asad...Her sweet voice stirred his soul and his senses lost all the control he had...
Asad held her firmly by the waist, taking control over her body and bent down to kiss her collarbone. He kissed her all along, occasionally nipping her soft creamy skin. Zoya couldn't help but let out a moan, which did not go unheard by Asad. His actions were taking control over her and she couldn't help but want more...This was the very first time they were so close...she could almost hear her heart thumping ...
Her intoxicating smell was driving him crazy but he slowly made his move not to hurt her in any which way. His lips made his way to her eyes, her nose and then finally to her soft cheeks. He explored every inch of her face and pulled her closer to his body.
"You are so beautiful Zoya..." He said looking deeply into her eyes. Hearing her name from his mouth was music to her...It had it's own ring to it. It sounded so pure, so serene...
Zoya pressed her lips against his and at that moment she could swear she saw stars. Her insides melted and her mind gave up...she wanted to be like this Forever. Asad responded with much fervor taking in the moment completely...
...But before they could cross all the limits, Zoya withdrew herself from the kiss and tightly hugged him.
Asad completely understood her. Like himself he knew that Zoya respected the sanctity of marriage and had no qualms in waiting a little longer.
"Take me to my room Asad...".
He carried her in her arms to her room without disturbing their current position.
He placed her on the bed softly and kissed her goodnight. Parting herself from his embrace was one of the most difficult things for Zoya...she felt incomplete.
He was heading towards the door when Zoya stopped him midway and asked, "I forgot to ask you one thing Mr. Khan...What was the best moment in your life?"
Asad smiled and replied, "You are an intelligent girl Zoya...I will leave that for you to make out" And saying that he quietly left her room.
Zoya knew what Asad meant.
Indeed the moment' was what they shared a while back.
Yes! She had a special moment with him...Their very first Special Moment'.
