FF - Asad and Zoya in Italy - Link to Thread Two on Page 1 - Page 14

hey this ff is really nice. I've read all the parts recently & really like how the story is going ahead. I feel bad for Zoe dat she has fallen for Mr. Khan but stil can't tell him cox he doesn't reciprocate the same feelings. Asad's past is yet unclear so it's difficult to understand him a bit, I hope in the coming chaps all will get better.

CHAPTER NINE :

He couldn't sleep. He was lost in his thoughts when she knocked on the door. He didn't respond her back. She knocked again but again he was not interested.

I think she is gone, he thought but after five minutes she came inside his room without knocking.

'You are not sleeping ?' She came near his bed.

'Ya I was sleeping, just woke up.' He took his phone and ignored her.

'Ok you want to have dinner ?' She knew he was lieing.

'No I am not hungry. I ate lunch late in the hospital.' He was still not looking at her. He was getting irritated now.

'What's wrong Mr Khan ? Do you need anything ?' She was still confused at his behavior.

'Listen I know you want to prove to me that you are caring and loving and all that. I know that already. I can take care of myself. Can you now just leave me alone ?' He said finally. She didn't say him anything and ran away.

I knew it I will hurt her again. That's the reason I didn't want to come here, come closer to her. Why am I feeling bad now ? I did it right. She should know that I am bad for her. He was still not sure whether he did right or wrong.

All promises he made to himself that he won't hurt her and won't say anything bad to her were broken. He did that intentionally than why was he feeling bad ?

-----------------------------------

It was 2 am and he was still not sleepy. He was standing infront of the window. First time he was not thinking about his life or dreams but about her. His heart was saying what he did was wrong but mind was saying that he was right.

Finally he thought he should apologize. But how many times I should apologize ? I always do that to her. I know her she will accept my sorry but what is the point of saying sorry when I am going to leave soon. I won't apologize or she won't be able to leave me.

She knocked at the door. He was confused who could be coming to his room that late.

'Yes ! Come in.' He said.

She came inside. She wasn't smiling this time. She was looking at him and then his legs.

Maybe she wants to say that you are not supposed to stand for so long. He was smiling at her thoughts.

'Did you take your medicines ?' She asked him finally. He nodded his head in no while looking at her.

She got the water and medicines and made him sit on the couch and sat beside him.

'I thought you can take care of yourself.' She taunted him. But he was busy looking at her, he wanted to see her dimped smile.

'You were not sleeping ?' He asked her. She nodded her head in yes while taking out the water from the bottle.

'You were painting something ?' He was still looking at her in search of that dimpled smile. She again nodded in yes.

She gave him the tablets and water but he didn't take them. He knew as soon as he would swallow them she will leave and if he won't then she won't leave.

'What were you painting ?'

'Landscape.'

'Are you having a studio here ?'

'Yes.'

'Where is it ?'

'Upstairs.'

'Will you show me ?'

'Yesss !' She tried to make her tone normal. She was getting irritated by his questions now. She wanted to leave from here but she wanted him to take the tablets or else she thought he would throw them in the dustbin.

'When ?' He knew she was getting irritated but he was enjoying it. Why can't she just smile ? He thought.

'Whenever you want.' She said.

'How about tomorrow ?'

'Fine.'

'And when will you make my painting ?' He said and with that took the tablets and swallowed them. He was damn sure she will smile now.

She looked at him with her wide eyes and dimpled smile.

'Seriously ? You want me to ? Are you sure ?' She was still smiling and looking at him.

'Yes I am sure.' He was still enjoying his smile.

'But why ?'

'Well ! there are many reasons. First of all you are a good friend and this is one of your wishes and before going from Italy I want to fulfil this wish of my good friend.'

'Ya Allah ! I just can't believe this Akdu Ahmed Khan is saying all this. I think I am dreaming Mr Khan.'

'Did you just call me Akdu ?' He really didn't like that word for him.

'Yes I did. Akdu, Sadiyal and Badtameez Ahmed Khan said yes for the painting. Yiiipppiiieee !!!!' She was shouting now.

'Miss Farooqui, your aapi is sleeping. You should think about her.' He never liked her shouting so he gave her a reason.

'Oh ya ! I forgot. She will kill me if she woke up. I am going Mr Khan. Good Night.'

'Good Night.' and with that she left his room happily.

He was still thinking about his different names she gave him.

-----------------------------------

She was in his room again in the morning.

'Good Morning.' She said with a bright smile. He was ready to go to hospital. She saw his elbow. The bandage was showing her more blood then before.

'Good Morning. You didn't sleep ?' He saw her eyes and said.

'No I was painting all night. I have to finish my work soon for solo show. Tell me why is it bleeding Mr Khan ?'

'Oh that's nothing. I was changing my shirt and may be I moved my hand how I normally do and few drops of blood came out. It would be fine in a moment or two.' He said like he can survive without blood.

'Allah Miyaan ! What's wrong with you Mr Khan ? If you don't want blood than why don't you start donating ?' She said angrily.

'Miss Farooqui, this is just nothing. I didn't even notice that while changing.' He lied to her.

'What if your arm would have came out instead of your blood ? Then you must have noticed it.'

'Stop being funny Miss Farooqui and lets go.' He was smiling at her now.

'No lets just have breakfast then we will go.'

'Ok as you say.' He said like he was always obedient to her.

-----------------------------------

They were back home and ate lunch with aapi. He was in his room now. She was telling him about her school life when his phone started ringing. He looked at his phone and his expressions changed. She noticed him.

'Just pick up the phone. I will be back, i think aapi is calling me.' She knew he won't talk infront of her so she left.

'Assalam O Alaikum Ami.' He said.

'Walekum Asalam. Kese ho Asad ?(How are you Asad ?)'

'Mein theek hun. Aap kesi hain ?(Fine. How are you ?)' He didn't tell her about the accident but he was missing her badly. Somewhere inside he was still a kid who wanted his mother when he was in pain.

'Mein bhi theek hun. Bass pata nahi kyun tumhari fikar horahi thi. Kahan ho abhi room mein ?(Fine. I was just getting worried about you. Are you in your room now ?)'

'Jee.(Yes)'

'Kahin ghoomne gaye ho ya nahi. Afterall, you love history.' He smiled sadly. he wanted to say history, art, literature I am not interested in anything now. That Asad was someone else.

'You know what Asad ? After two years of our marriage me and your dad went to Italy. We were in Rome when I got this news that I am going to be a mother, your mother.' She said happily.

Was it a good news ? He thought.

'Maybe thats why Italy fascinates me, Ammi.' He tried to avoid his feelings and concentrated on what she is saying.

'Why don't you come to India in your vacations ?' She asked him again with hope in her voice.

'I will come. Are you taking care of yourself ?' He tried to avoid her question. He knew she was crying now but he couldn't do anything.

Their conversations were always like this. She never said what she wants to say and he never said what he was feeling.

'Yes I am. What about you ?'

'Don't worry about me. I am very happy here. I went to many different places yesterday. Even today I have many plans with my friends.' He was lieing to her to make her happy. But as a mother, she knew he was always alone.

'Theek hai beta. Take care Allah Haffiz.'

'Allah Haffiz.' He removed his tears from his face.

-----------------------------------

'Dinner is ready Mr Khan.' She knocked at the door and came inside.

'I am coming.' He said with a smile and came out.

'Aapko pata hai aapi hamari dosti kese hui ?' She said while eating.

'Kese ?' She asked her with a smile and after that she started telling him about there encounter at her favourite pizzeria.

Asad was not enjoying dinner. He was still worried about his mother. He ate little by little so no one can notice that he was not eating much. After dinner aapi went to her room.

He was sitting in living room now and watching TV when she came with coffee.

'Thank You.' he said.

'You should sleep now. You didn't sleep last night too.' He said.

'Ya I will. I have some work left then I will go to sleep. What about you ?'

'I will watch TV for some time. If I felt like sleeping I will go.'

'Ok what about medicines ? Should I bring them here ?'

'No I will take them. Don't worry. Good night.' He said with a smile.

'Good night.' She left. He didn't like the coffee. He always liked black and bitter coffee. He kept the mug on the table.

He switched off the lights of the living room and laid down on the sofa. He was changing channels and saw a Italian movie. He started watching it without turning up the volume.

It was getting late. He tried his best to fall asleep but couldn't. He felt someone was coming downstairs. Zoya saw him and came near him.

'What happened ? You are still here ?' She asked him and saw the coffee mug.

'Ya I am not sleepy still.' He said. She looked at the wall clock. It said 3:00 am.

'But doctor said after taking medicines you will fall asleep easily.'

'I am having insomnia so its not easy for me to fall asleep.' He told her the truth.

'Then you should have told the doctor ?' She took the floor cushion and sat infront of him.

'I am having this problem from last ten years. No medication could change this. I am addicted to this routine now.' He said in a low voice.

'Why are you always sad Mr Khan ?' She asked him hasitently.

'No I am not.' He tried to act normal.

'I have never saw you laughing on anything, even if you smile, your eyes say something else. I have never saw happiness in your eyes.' They both were looking into each others eyes now.

'Maybe because in my life there is no reason left for me to be happy.' He would have never said this to her in daylight but right now it was dark and they were alone.

'You don't need to find reasons to be happy Mr Khan. I also have many reasons to cry but look at me I am always smiling.'

'And I wish that you live your whole life like this, happily.' He tried to smile but couldn't.

'Are you upset because of that phone call ?' She asked him.

'Yes.' He looked away and said. She looked at him. She knew he didn't want to share so she stood up and bought his tablets. She was sure he didn't take them.

He took tablets from her and laid back on the sofa. She sat on the floor cushion and took his hand.

'Mr Khan life is beautiful. Just try to forget the past and concentrate on your present. Just put some colors in your life.'

'I will try Miss Farooqui.' He said and closed his eyes. He fell asleep after some time and she was still looking at him. She was not feeling like leaving him alone so she slept there, holding his hand tightly.
