part 9:
asad holds zoya...both of them lost in each other eyes...
AS: ammi...see how strong abbu is.. he is holding both of us.
zoya frees herself and mutter a thanks to asad looking at ground. asya literally jumps from asad to zoya and hugs her mother. zoya hugs her daughter tightly, emotions wereflowing in zoya eyes. she thinks to herself... how is she going to life without asya.. destiny already took asad and now asya too..she didnt know what D has told asad she wanted to know. but didnt have the courage to look at asad and ask him, she excused herself and carried asya to the near by park.
asad entered the room and looked at humeira and asked how is her father.
H: abbu health is much better after zoya arrival
A: can i talk with him
H: he is asking for u..since appi came back..
A: can i talk now, zoya has taken asya to the park, u go and join ur sis, i will be here till then
H: ok jiju..(H calls A always as jiju..since she came to know zoya as her sis..)
Gaffur is not too bad in this story.. it is razia..who is the grey here.
small note on gaffur:
bcoz of family pressure gaffur marries razia,and also tells the truth abt zainab and zoya to her. but couldnt go back to US , when zainab comes in search of gaffur,razia tricks and kills her and blackmails gaffur that she will kill zoya too.. if he goes in search of his daughter.he was not her accomplice in her crime, but only witnesswho was caught in situation, and razia was pregnant with Humeira at the moment,he didnt want to lose another child of his.no one knows the truth abt zoya mom other then G and R. when zoya stays in SM, after nighat nikkah night gaffur listens to the music box once again, searches for it and finds in the zoya room, he also find zoya sitting and holding both the misic box, and also his photos
Z: abbu where are u? i need u so much right now.i cam here in search of u..but found my life in this place, but destiny played a cruel game with ur daugter, she once again lost the person whom she loved. . tears flowing in zoya eyes.
gaffur also has tears in his eyes, he realised zoya is his long last daughter. he goes and sits next to zoya and hold her shoulder.
zoya turns and see gaffur with tears
Z: jee..
G: abbu.. call me abbu
Z: abbu
G: i am the unfortunate father.. who didnt recognize his own daughter living under his own roof for the past 1 month.
Z: u r my father
G: i am ur father. though i shouldnot call myself that.. i am responsible for whatever happened with ur life, if only i fought fate , this day wouldnt have come in our lives
Z: abbu.dont hold urself responsible, no one understand destiny better then me..i dont blame u. i am happy that u acknowleged that i am ur daughter. i . e more then enough
G: a day has not gone without myself thinking abt u. u were always in my dua beta.. please forgive me
Z: it is ok abbu... i am happy i found u.. this is more than enough for me.
G:ur heart is very big beta..
G sidehugs zoya.. both father and daughter share a moment, but they have 2 persons watching them silently one with fury and other with so much love. Humeira is so happythat zoya is her sister, and razia is fuming after all her attempts to keep the duo seperate , they found each other. she decides to something abt zoya, and calls her usual partner in crime. only thing she didnt realise that destiny played a game with her that day. the car she and tanveer travelled got into accident and they both died.
when the news reached SM, humie was devastated, but she found a mom in zoya.. zoya stood by her sis and pulled her out of the sorrow, and decided ayaan and Humie marriage soon, the presence and assurance of love will bring her out of her grief, and gaffur accepted zoya decision and got them married within 15 days.
Gaffur also wanted Asad and Zoya marriage too... within few days with her daughter she realised the importance of asad in zoya life. but zoya didnt want to talk about it that moment she wanted to focus on humeira, and gaffur silently agreed. She just asked her father that she wanted to invite D and A for the wedding, and S agreed readly, then only she went to KV and invited them and then Ayaan went and explained everything to Asad.the thing zoya didnt know was gaffur visit to KV.
Khan Villa
the bells ring, and D goes and opens the door, see G standing outside.
D: jee aap, come in( D also knows G is Zoya father)
asad also come out her room and see G standing in the door step. asad is confused he was angry with G for what happened with his mom but couldnt express his anger too as he learnt from ayaan that G is zoya father and he has accepted zoya whole heartly as her daughter. A was so happy that Z found her father even though it is G. he didnt except that from G, as G always looked after his position in the society then anything else, so he was surprised .
G: thank you
and he steps inside the home and come to the hall. asad looks at him, he see a different man standing there
D comes and gives him a glass of water and G accepts and drinks it too
G: thank you i came here to talk u both
D: jee kahiyee
G: i came to apologise and ask for ur fogiveness, i cant go back in the past and correct my sin, but only thing I can do is apologize.
D: don't think much about it. It is all in the past, let us forget and forgive..the problem is not fully urself,...it is Rashid mistake. That put us all in this situation.
G:thank you.. I also came to talk to u abt zoya (he addresses Asad)
G:don't punish my daughter for my sin.. I am the one who robbed u of ur father and ur childhood... don't leave my zoya
A: don't say like that.. zoya is my soul... without her I am living dead.. I understood ur actions too... I don't even blame u now..u fought for ur sister wellbeing and in the process u hurted us...we are strangers too...but what i did with my zoya is worse.. for my sister sake... I forced her into something...which she never wanted...i wish I was strong the other day...i am her culprit... I killed my zoya... the person I see in ur home is not the same zoya anymore.
Asad breaks down into tears. G goes and holds him
G: don't blame urself for what happened...it was fate.. in the process it gave my daughter back... I am sure allah will give u chance to rectify... don't loose hope...u r the only person who lives in my daughter heart... she may hate u now...give her time...fill her life with so much love... that ur love should heal all the wounds that fate has created in her life... don't loose my daughter again
A: do u think she will give a chance... she has forgiven me...in the past... I always judged her wrong and some how I always end up in her hurting...
G: may not right now... She is broken inside... The man she trusted... left her side when she needed him the most.. but she will forgive u... when she could forgive the father who left her at the age of 5... don't loose hope...
Asad gets a slight hope by G words... Then G also invites them for AY-H wedding...and leaves. When D and A comes to SM for wedding celebration, zoya invited them inside, to the surprise of everyone G hugged Asad . all the rituals of wedding was done like haldi, sangeet etc and etc but only in a small scale family function, and the whole khan family was together in the function.
But the sudden depature of zoya from their lives... broke A and G the most, G lost the long last daughter again and A last the reason for living. But they understood each other pain. And where unknown pillar to each other, it is not like they visited each other often.. sometime they do when family come together for festivals. The only place they meet is each other after Friday prayer outside the mosque, both their prayers had the well being of one person.. both sit silently together for few minutes outside the mosque sharing their sorrow in the silence and move away from each other
As asad was entering the room...he remembered his relationship with G, and he know that the chance which G mentioned in the past has come...it is asad duty to bring not only his daughter mother to her daughter...but also the daughter to her father.
Asad entered and looked at G ... G and A looked at each other, A took G hand and sat next to him
G: allah has answeres our duas...don't let her go...only u can hold her,...no one else
A: I know
Then both of sit there in silence... With one person filled their thoughts and hearts...
Note: I hope u like this... ... as far the 3 person... if she is going to exist in my story.. she wont be evil... I am still planning the plot of story... I wanted end with zoya pov... But all the comments encourage me to write... next update will be by the weekend... I hope so.. that will also be like this mix of past and present.
