Chapter 16
Shock is Everywhere.
Narrator's POV:
They went inside and got their schedules according to the course each of them had selected.
Zoya - Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Tanveer - Pediatrics.
Humeira - Medicine and Surgery.
Nikhat -Pscyhiatry.
Najma - Orthopaedics.
Nuzhat - Ophthalmology.
It was wonderful day for everyone.They got some looks from their fellow students as they were different from the europeans, but soon they befriended many.
Zoya too actively particitpated in their conversation with their new found friends without a hint of hesitation in her.She cracked jokes and laughed freely.
Everyone were stunned to witness this side of zoya which was hidden in front of people but still they were happy for her.Seeing this zoya,the first person that came to their mind was Asad.They thanked Asad for bringing this change in zoya.
Tanveer felt insecurity build up in her but still she was very happy for her bestie.

Dean: Thank you Mr.Siddique for joining as a trustee of this University.Iam very grateful to you.
S: Its fine Mr.Igar .Its pleasure to be one among the trustees. I shall take your leave now.
D: Sure! Thank you.

Zoya's POV:
I was really happy and I know why.Its all because of asad.He made me into this zoya. I dont know how to thank him but I will for sure. I was interacting with many people and and Iam enjoying this. I feel strong.
"I feel that nobody can hurt me" I whispered to myself.
While I was saying this,I bumped into someone. I hurriedly muttered a sorry and bent down and took my books which had fallen down.When I stood back up,he was still there.
I apologized once again.
Me: Sorry,sir!
The Man: Its Okay,child.
This is when I took a good look at him. My eyes widened in shock and hatred but I somehow managed to hide it.'No! This cant be happening!He cant be here!' my mind was in a run. His face was calm as ever.
Just when I was about to move away from there,Humeira came running calling out my name.
H: Zoya!Zoya! wait for me!
Oh no!' my name is revealed.Will he remember my name?Oh,Will he even remember me?Forget about name!'
I impatiently waited for Humi and then I moved from there hastily.
I take back my earlier statement.Now, I feel that he has come here to hurt me.

Narrator's POV:
Mr.Siddique's mind was in a marathon race eventhough his face was calm.His first thought looking at the girl infront of him was of his First Wife,"Zainab"
She looks just like Zainab'. " What would her name be?"
"Zoya!" I heard some one call her.
Ya Allah! Is she...My zoya?My daughter zoya?'
No! It cant be.There are many zoyas in the world'
"I have to get her file"He whispered and rushed towards the Dean's Room again.
**
The rest of the day went in a frenzy for zoya. She felt that her first day at the University was ruined.
She met the man whom she never wished to meet.

*In Asad's Office*
Asad felt something wrong.He was restless and no work was done.He dialed ayaan
As: Ayaan!?I feel there is something wrong! I dont know what or where but there is something!
He spoke rushed.
Ay: Relax bro!Nothing is wrong.
He replied calm.
As: No! I feel it!Could it be with Kaka?
Ay: No,I just called to check on him and he is very much enjoying with his new young nurse.
As: The girls?
Ay: Nah! They are danger themselves,nothing can endanger them.uh--hh...Zoya maybe?
As: Oh yes! Zoya...She is ...is af-afraid of people!...I have to go!
Ay: No!No! Bhai!..You cant go just like that.The security guards will throw you out.
As:Then what can I do?
Ay: Come on Bhai,she is Zoya! No one messes with the Zoya Farooqui!
Asad chuckled.
As: Yeah right!
Ay: Okay Bhai! Its time for me to jump in the track.
As: Yes go!All The Best!
Ay: Dont know why do they want me to waste fuel when it is very well known that Iam gonna win.
As: Ayaan! You'll never change.
Asad disconnected the call and prayed that everything should go smooth on their first day at the Uni.

*University*
Asad came to pick them,still his mind in a frenzy to know about zoya.
Zoya appeared first followed later by the girl gang,who were walking at a pace even slower than tortoise.
Before zoya could comprehend what was happening,she was safely wrapped in the warmth of asad's arms.
As: How was your day?
She snuggled closer smiling and said
Z: Very well!
As: Good!
He was relieved to see her smile but noticed a little sadness in her beautiful eyes.He thought of asking it later.
He kissed her head and stepped out to greet his sisters who came running to him shouting "BHAIJAAN!!!"
He hugged everyone and tanveer too.
Two men stepped out of the car,Rahim and Ryan.Asad introduced them as his friends.
The twin brothers' eyes shined with a glint seeing two of the triplets Nikhat and Nuzhat but they masked it well but they couldnt cheat Asad.He was their friend and he knew them too even read their minds.
All made their way back to Khan Mansion.Asad sat at the and the twins took the front with rahim driving.Everyone filled asad's already overworked brain with the details of their day while he listened to them lovingly.
**
*Khan Mansion*
Everyone made their way inside, while asad pulled Humeira back and asked her about Zoya.
As: Humi,how was zoya's day ?
H: It was very good bhaijaan!Baaji was very much involved with the other students and she didnt hesitate much in conversing with others. But...
As: But what?
H: Bhai..did you notice her eyes...there is something different in them.
As: Yes, she is sad for some unknown reason.
H: She was happy in the morning but after our break,she was so lost.
As: Did they stress you much today?
H: No bhai...as we said earlier,its our first day so we didnt do much.Most of the day went in getting instructions and meeting teachers and introductions.So nothing was there to stress on.But Baaji...I dont know what happened!
She gasped.
H: oh! Maybe she is sad because I called her Zoya. But she only said me to call her like that.
Asad rolled his eyes at her innocence
As: Its okay humi, go now.I will deal with this later.
Now, Asad was determined to talk with zoya.
**
*Inside*
Everyone were conversing with kaka and ayaan who were waiting for them to return. Kaka told them to freshen up and come back to the hall and they obeyed. Ayaan smirked at Kaka and they both secretly hi-fived eachother. Even the twins joined ayaan in rejoicing for their friend.After all they were also involved in this mission.
Asad and Zoya came to the hall holding hands and laughing at their own private joke. Kaka noticed this.He called them both and announced,
K: Asad I have found the perfect bride for you,beta!
Asad stared at him shocked.
As: Kaka,I...
K: Dont be so shocked...its none other than the girl with whom you're holding hands.
Asad looked at their hands and then at zoya in shock while she did the same.
