Chapter 2
Is today for real?
Narrater's POV:
Zoya got dressed and headed out to greet her new day with new friend. She came down to see everyone waiting for her except humeira. she was saddened as well as worried and nobody seemed to notice her missing even her miey and pops.
Zoe: pops where is humeira? she is nowhere to be seen.
P: oh! she is in her room. she is a kinda unwell...
Z: what?why dint you say me pops. oh god!!!
with that she sprinted up the stairs to humeira's room.Everyone were worried about her health but let pass off from their mind as there was zoya to take care of humeira. everyone trusted zoya with taking care of everyone whether they were in pain, hurt or wounded or illness, zoya did her best to bring them out of that state. she was everyone's trusted mentor while she herself dint have one.
Here down there was a soul who was amazed by the name'humeira'. ayaan here was thinking about humeira, after her learnt that named humeira was living in this house.'oh my! such a nice but poor girl is unwell' he thought. ' what would have happened to her' ' should i go check on her. yes i should, maybe my lovely shayaris would make her feel better. ' how was she related to them' and then there was a list of question running in his pea sized brain.'mm... humeria-ayaan, wouldnt that be nice?' ' what the hell! ayaan how could you think like that' ' but then you were getting some strange feelings since you stepped into this house, what does that mean?' ' and now this name thing, come on just go and see her for once then you would know what she means to you' and then he was brought out of his dreamland by N3
N3: bhaijaan! where are you lost? you are looking as though the world as broken down in front of you.
with that she started giggling. without thinking he just blurted out
A: nothing nuzhat. its just, can i go upstairs so as to meet that new friend?
T: oye super flirt, better keep away from humeira, orelse your life is at risk zoya would eat you up alive.
A: oho iam not gonna flirt with her. i just want to befriend and that poor girl is also unwell...
saying this he put on his best childish eyes which made all to roll their eyes and say" dramebaaz" . Zeenat smiled and said " of course you can go ayaan." He muttered a quick thanks and went upstairs.
Zoya reaced the first floor and barged into humeira's room which was opposite to miey's and pops' room to see her condition. her heart crunched up to see her lying in the bed with the sheets totally wrapped around her.she went near her, removed the sheets partially till her chest and placed the back of her hand on her forehead to check the temperature and 'OMG!! its so high, no its burning.'. she heard some foot steps and it stopped near the door. without turning she threw her phone towards that person and said" call the doctor" . she rushed to the washroom and took a small bucket and filled it with cold water and then took a washcloth and came back to the room. she noticed that it was ayaan who had come to the room.
Ayaan dialed the doctor's number which was saved in the phone and told him to come here at once, good thing is that the doctor was free at that time.
Zoya dipped the cloth in water and placed it on humeira's forehead so as to bring down the temperature.
Humeira woke up with a start as she felt something cold on her forehead. she could see her baaji sitting beside her and a stranger near the door talking to someone on the phone.
Ayaan hadnt been able to see humeira as zoya was blocking his view from the door and at the sametime he was busy with the doctor on phone.
Zoya hugged her sis lightly as soon as she saw her open her eyes.
Z: what happened humeira? how did you get sick?
Humeira with a weak voice tried to answer but couldnt. she tried to get up and with the help and zoya, she succeeded in it.
Ayaan could see humeira clearly now as she was sitting on the bed. he was mesmerized by her simple, soft yet strong features.

Ayaan was dumbstruck on seeing humeira. ' why do i feel like she is someone related to me? why do i have a deja-vu feeling?why does it bother me to see her sick?' ' argh!! ayaan shutup you just saw her and you are fascinating about her.Foolish khan!!' 'well then ayaan put on your flirtarous mode' he smirked and went near them. Suddenly humeira started coughing due to dry throat while trying to tell her sis about her illness. ayaan swiftly poured some water in a glass and held it in front of her. humeira dint see who was in front of her and just took the water and drank it. after drinking she lifted her eyes to see the stranger and thank the person for giving her water but as soon as she did lift her eyes, they narrowed and held a questioning gaze.
Ayaan understood the meaning of that gaze and said
A: hi iam ayaan the car racer, the second brother of your triple N's, the second of the khan siblings and...
H: yeah yeah, i know that your ayaan the car racer, the second brother of your triple N's, the second of the khan siblings and blah blah blah...
she said it without missing the sequence.
A: oh my you have very good memory power, i see miss pretty .
H: Flirt
Zoya chuckled to see the conversation between her sis and ayaan. and how her sis too repeated the same word she had used earlier to ayaan.
H: wait wait...you ayaan AK have the audacity to say than you are a car racer before saying the you are the bro of triple Ns. how could you?
A: career comes first my lady
H: excuse me iam not your lady
A: oh then if you are not a lady. what are you? a gentleman? or a hom...
H: dont you dare say that?
A: of course i dare and what can you do to me. you're just a sick old lady.
H: do i look like a sick old lady to you????
A: oh yeah now it dawns upon me. they told that you were sick and now you are just pouncing as if you are running in a marathon race.
Throughout this conversation ayaan was smirking which made humeira angrier and now she was boiling with anger. but her weak body couldnt take anymore and gaveup. she fainted and collapsed on the bed. ayaan was boggled and rushed to her.zoya too was shocked and came to her side.
Zoya sprinkled some water on humeira's face. Ayaan blamed himself for her state.
Z: humeira wake up. oh god what happened?!!
A: humeira come on my lady strong get up.
Then slowly humeira opened her eyes. zoya and ayaan had a smile plastered on their faces.humeira too smiled slightly.
A: iam so sorry humeira. i shouldnt have spoke like that to you. that too in this condition.
H: come on, its ok anyways dint you just call me your lady strong, then why are you acting as if iam a stack of grass.
Ayaan smirked and said
A: so lady strong too has some sense of humour.
All of them laughed at this and then ayaan asked
A: Mona, how is she related to you all?
Z: well she is my lil sis and my laadli...wait, who is this mona? and why did you call me with that?
A: oh that, mona is you and it just came off my mouth. i myself dont know how i called you with that...dont you like it??
He asked expectantly
Z: of course i like it and so now onwards i may call you raabert. are you fine with it?
A: of course iam fine with whatever a beautiful girl like you calls me ?? but i would have been happier if you had called me by dear or darling...
he said with a puppy face. zoya smacked his forehead and giggled with her sis. by this time the doctor had reached the farooqui villa and came into humeira's room.
Doc: what happened humeira?
H: i had nauseous spell in the morning. i dint even have my breakfast.i came to my room and threw up the little water i had in the morning. when i resigned back from the washroom, i slightly felt like fainting and slept on the bed.
She said all this in one breath. the doctor smiled and said
Doc:let me check you up
She did she check up and said
Doc: i think this is just stomach flu. what did you have for dinner last night humeira.
Z: she dint have anything. she said she dint feel like eating.
H: no that is not the truth. i did have dinner last night.
Z: but i dint see you eating anything. did you eat something secretly in your room.
H: uhhh...no baaji. i actually...h-had-d some of--ff actually the b-bird fo--ood...
Z and Doc: what ??
Ayaan burst out laughing but controlled himself when he saw two pairs of eyes glaring at him, one of zoya's and other one was the doctor's.
Z: what is this humeira? how could you eat bird's food? why did you eat it in the first place?
H: actually baaji i was experimenting whether bird food would be acceptable to human body.
Z: and the result?
H: i was proved wrong
she said sheepishly
Doc: now if you have finished with it. can i prescribe her some medicines and i'll give her and antibody and vomiting injection for now.
Z: yes doctor.
Doc: and dont lock her in this room. she has to go out in the fresh air so that she wont have vomiting spell.
Z: but shouldnt she rest, she is weak
Doc: its ok i will give her a injection for energy along with the antibody and that would do and this is just a stomach flu,nothing to worry about, it will be gone by two to three days.
Z: and her diet for these three days?
Doc: just give her some lite food like bread and some fresh juice, that will be fine.
Z: yes doctor
Doctor gave humeira the injections and took her leave. they decided to take grab the medicines prescribed while on their way to ashram.
Z: now humeira would do the honour of explaining me the insensible act of yours
By this time everyone came up to humeira's room and was asking about her health.
H: actually...
Z: stop this actually and say it now
Ayaan came to her rescue and said
A:mona leave her na? she is just a kid. kids do stupid things
H: hey mr.buttery flattery iam not a kid.
Z: stop it both of you!!!
Pops: what just happened her? what is the matter
Z: pops humeira ate bird food last night and that is why she is ill
Everyone started laughing and humeira was embarassed to the core and soon anger took over embarassement
H: stop it everyone. i was just experimenting. what is there to laugh about it? you know about my nature right? i like to experiment with things...Then what????
she said this with tears in her eyes and sobbed . zoya went to her and took her in a embrace
Z: shhh... its okay, iam sorry.we are all sorry. its just you made yourself sick.
and then ayaan came to her side and said
A:Come on you shouldnt get angry for this. its just a good family time. you too should laught at yourself. just think about it and you yourself will laugh.
Humeira gave a thought about it and chuckled at her stupidity
H: you're right
Humeira smiled looking at him and a smile found its way to ayaan's face seeing her happy.
T: so now that everything is solved. shall we go? its already late
Z: oh yeah humeira lets go. ummmh are you ready?
H: ofcourse mumma!!
A: mumma!!!??? i thought she was your sis
Z: oh foolish khan she just calls me mumma whenever she is in a playful mood or whenever i boss her around
A: ohh ok then lets go.
They all went down and zoya packed some food for humeira. they got in the car and waved byes to zeenat and anwar. they got the medicines and gave it to humeira while on the car itself. they chatted their way to the ashram. Once they entered the ashram they were surrounded by many kids. zoya picked up one kid and led the others to the nearby tree and started chatting with them.
Kid1: mumma why dint you come to see us yesterday? you dint remember rohan's birthday?
Kid 2 : yes mumma why dint you come??
and then all the kids started pestering her about yesterday. she just smiled and said
Z: yesterday na, i had so much of work and the boss dint leave me to come. he told me to do all work in the office... mmm...
Kid 3: mumma who is that boss? i will go and give him one nicely so that he doesnt disturb you.
Zoya chuckled and looked around to find someone and that is when she saw ayaan busy on the phone with someone. she pointed out to ayaan that he was her boss.
Suddenly three to four boys ran to ayaan while all the girls remained with zoya.
Ayaan was so busy that he dint even care about the world and the tragic incident that is gonna happen to him in a few minutes. all the four boys gathered around him and waited for him to turn and see them. when ayaan turned and saw there were four boys around him and he shaked his head in 'what' manner. then suddenly one of the boys kicked him in the leg and the other boy gave a kick on the other leg which made ayaan crouch a little. another boy gave a kick on his groin which made ayaan fall to his knees with an ' aaah' sound. another gave a good slap on the cheek.
Ayaan dint know what to do and was very confused with what was happening. here zoya and the other kids were enjoying the scene taking place.ayaan called one the boys and asked in a meek girly voice
A: why did you do this? who are you guys?
kid: we did this because you made our mumma work too much
A: who is you mumma?
kid: she is our mumma
the kid pointed towards zoya who the second she saw the kid pointing towards her, ran for he rdear life.
Ayaan: zoyaa...
he said in disbelief .Ayaan still with that meek voice said to the person on phone
A: bhaij-jaan, i will talk-k to you later. bye.
Ayaan gathered up his strength and ran the way zoya ran to teach her a lesson.

Location:Paris, france
A guy who as handsome as a person from heaven looking like a greek god was getting ready for daily routine of going to office. he was
searching for his tie and was mentally cursing himself for his immature nature.'where did that tie go?' he heard his mobile ringing and went to attend it. it was his beloved bro ayaan.
Guy: hello bro. how are you?

Guy: ayaan would you shut up yourself or do you want me to shut you up??
A: oh come on bhaijaan dont show me that lion fist of yours to frighten me because iam here in india and you cant punch me.
ayaan said gleefully
Guy: and yeah how is kaka? is he alright? how is his health?
A: he is doing great bhai, dont worry he is a strong man.
guy: he is our only parental support after mom and dad. i cant afford to lose him now.
the guy said with a tint of tears in his eyes.
A: come on bhai. why this lion is now being emotional? its not only you bhaijaan, we all cant afford to lose him...
A: * silent*
A: aaahhh
guy: ayaan!!! what's happening???
A: * silent*
guy: ayaan? ayaan!!!!
A: why did you do this? who are you?
guy: ayaan who did what?
A:*silent*
the other side(kid): * some mumbling*
A: who is you mumma?
guy: what mumma?
the other side: * some mumbling*
Ayaan: zoyaa...
Guy: zoya...
the guy felt a rush of emotions and feelings run through his body. he smiled unknowingly hearing that name come out of his mouth.' who is zoya?' ' why do i feel connected to her? is she my relative of friend?' ' i have already heard this name once. and how does ayaan know her??' there was series of questions running in his mind but he had to come out of his dreamland now as his brother was in danger. he disheartedly pushed those questions aside and that is when he heard ayaan speak
A: bhaij-jaan, i will talk-k to you later. bye.
Guy:ok bye take care.
The guy dint know what to do and just sat there thinking about ayaan and the girl named zoya.he took out his diary and wrote down today's incident .
' today i spoke to ayaan and some commotion had happened there. he shouted suddenly and spoke to third person about 'mumma' and all. and today a beautiful thing happened to me. i heard the name 'zoya' for the second time. first time was when i was kid but i dont remember about it much. its a beautiful name which means full of life. i wish she is full of life. i' ll continue afterwards till then bye.' while writing this he had small smile playing in his lips. he kept the diary open and went to his office without bothering about the tie, a happy and content smile was plastered on his face.
The pages of the open diary turned swiftly because of the breeze coming through the window. it rested on the first page which read " ASAD AHMED KHAN"
