Chapter 14:(part B)
Valentine's Day will be a promise
Zoya's POV:
When I noticed, I was pulled into a car sort of thing. My mind was in a dazzle and I some time to recover. 'Yes! it was a car.But who are these people?'.
They look like thugs.I tried to wriggle my hands but a few men were holding me tightly and my mouth was taped.They werent like the thugs they show in bollywood movies with beard and a bulky belly but these were white and dressed a bit good and their face looked weird covered with piercings all over.
'Stop with the description, its so not important here.Stupid! try to get out NOW!!'. I felt the car stagger a bit and the men became less focussed on me for a moment.
I took that moment to use it for me. I pulled away my hands from them and punched the two on my either side under their chin and gave a hard hit in their stomach with my elbows.I tried to stand up but slipped and fell on to the front in between the driver seat and the passenger seat.
I had hit my head hard in the gear rod but then I gave a punch to the one on the passenger seat in the belly and then sprinted up and sprang out of the running car's door.
I fell on the road and rolled over a few times.I stood up staggering and noticed that the car had stopped.

Narrator's POV:
Asad watched zoya getting pulled into a car.He was stunned to see what was happening. "What the hell?!" He panicked. He stared at car move away and within in a minute got started in his car following the one contained zoya,but kept a low profile so as to not get caught in the view of those people.
**
He stopped when he saw zoya roll off the from the vehicle. "Oh God! What's wrong with this girl?". He got off and moved forward to reach zoya but was dumbfounded to see her launching herself for a fight with those goons.
He has ofcourse heard about her fighting skills but this was the first to watch.
**
Zoya launched herself on the thug who came to her and kicked his abdomen and the next one was punched by her. She spun around and her eyes locked with Asad's who was watching her intently.
She was distracted and that made her get into the clutches of two goons.She struggled to get free and another man approached her with a knife.
And thats when Asad came and kicked the backs of the men holding her but the one with the knife didnt lose his aim and so Asad came infront to take it but Alas! he couldnt save her and zoya got what came for her.The knife was driven into her left shoulder and she started bleeding.
Thats when asad grew mad with rage and beat them black and blue.He was finished off with them in split moment and ran towards his car with zoya in his arms.He rushed off to their house.

*Some where in Europe*
There a phone rang with shrilling sound.A lady picked it up and smirked hearing the voice but it soon turned into a frown
Lady: What cant you do such a simple work?Your useless! I shouldnt have believed you people to be worthy for this task!!
She barked into the phone.
Man on the other end: Ma'am its not our fault! You never told us that the girl knew fighting and also that she was followed by a man! And its my men who are badly beaten and your pay doesnt include this, I want extra pay.
Lady:Shut up!
And she disconnected the phone.
"Who was that,Raziya?", and male voice echoed in the big bunglow.
R: No one,saab? Did you come just now? Should I make you tea?

He rushed zoya to their house called the Doctor.Everyone had come home by then, even Tanveer who was leisurely enjoying her shopping.Zoya kept on protesting that she was fine and so as to keep her quiet, she was given sedative.The doctor took care of an half conscious and half unconscious.He gave the necessary advises and left.
T: Phew!That was one tragic moment! This girl na...!
Tanveer was near to crying now.
As: Relax tannu!She will be okay!
Asad tried to console Tanveer and she gave a small smile.
T:Okay now..Let her rest.
Asad stayed behind while everyone moved out.He caressed her head and sat beside her.
**
Zoya woke up at 7.She felt very heavy and tried to move but there was pain all over her body and head ache too.Her throat was dry and she couldnt lift her hands.
Z: Asad...
She called out in a hoarse voice.But no answer.And then asad shot up from the floor shouting "zoya...!!!". He was panting badly.
Z:Asad...what happened?..
He looked around adjusting to his surroundings and then his eyes caught zoya.He stood up and sat on the bed.
As: How are you feeling?Do you need anything?
She nodded and said
Z:water...
After drinking water,zoya felt better. All the fatigueness had been washed away.
As:How do you feel now?
Z: Much better.By the way why did you shout my name? I was scared.
As: Uh-h...I was having a bad dream, its not exactly a dream but it was like I recalled what all happened a few hours ago...
Z: And about being on floor?
As: err...um..uh-hh...I guess I fell on the floor while sleeping.
Zoya chuckled and said, "what?"
As: See, I was sitting beside you and I dont know when sleep took over me and then I must have...Look,I have this habit of rolling onto the floor while sleeping, I still keep pillows around me.
He confessed his "life's secret" and she smiled and tried to lift her hand but couldnt
Z: Asad why am I not able to lift my hand?
She said annoyingly
As: That my dear is because you got stabbed in this hand and so you're unable to move your hand.And also doctor said that you shouldnt stress much so sleep now.
Z: No, where are the others?
As: They are in their rooms. You know, kaka was so shocked when he learnt about you and he blamed me for not taking care of you properly.
He complained with a frown.
Z: sorry!
**
Asad gave her food and medicines,she took them and he watched her silently with a small smile,happy that she is good and moving.
There was a moment's silence and zoya broke it.
Z: Asad,thanks.
She said softly.
As: Dont ever scare me like that zoya!
He pulled her in hug but was careful not to hurt her.
Z:sorry!..
He broke the hug and said
As: You should've just came to me when you saw me. Why couldnt you just run away? There isnt a need for you to fight always!You are not some superwoman!
Z: sorry...
As: Now stop with your sorrys!
Z:Okay sorry!
As: zoya!
Z: yes...
As: Sorry!
She started chuckling
Z: Why are you sorry?
As: For not protecting you and also for shouting at you
Z: You werent shouting asad, you were talking in the lowest voice possible,its true.Trust me!
As: I do, but you don't.
Zoya remembered her thoughts of Asad proving himself trustworthy.But now,she didnt need anything more.
Z: I do!
As: Then why didnt you come running to me?
Z: Because,I wanted to take care of it myself.
As: But you didnt.See, your condition now.
Z: Okay sorry!Now stop it.
As: As you wish ma'am. Wanna sleep?
She snuggled closer to him and he put an arm around her pulling her close.
Z: No...Thank you again asad.
As: Zoya,no need for thanks. I will always be with you, protect you and pamper you.
Z: eeks, I dont like pampering.
As:Then I would definitely do it.
She scrunched her face but then smiled.
Z: You'll always be there for me?
As: Always!
Z: Promise?
He took her hand in his and said
As: Promise!
They both grinned at eachother and asad placed a soft kiss on her hurt shoulder.
And the starry night witnessed this.
