CHAPTER ONE :
'Asad is coming tomorrow.' Dilshad said to Zoya on the dining table. Zoya dropped the spoon from her hand and was looking at her with her eyes wide open.
'Asad is coming but who told you that puphi ?' Her shock was turning into excitement now.
'Zoya, obviously Bhaijaan told her.' Najma replied her instead of Dilshad.
'Is he coming on vacations ?' Zoya asked Dilshad again but a different question this time.
'No he is going to stay here, he is thinking to start his architectural firm here.' Dilshad said with a smile. Najma wes listening to there conversation quietly.
'What ? Is he leaving Rashid uncle's business there ? Uncle must be angry on his decision ?' Zoya was still not believing all this.
'They both have fought again. He didn't tell me much details but I think they are not on talking terms now a days.' Dilshad said in serious tone.
'Oh ! At what time he is coming ?' Zoya asked her with a smile.
'At 2 in the morning. He was asking me if you both need anything, Najma asked him for some books and I told him to get a perfume for you and he was like how can I come there without lots of perfumes.' Dilshad said with a smile while Zoya was still smiling. Zoya could remember many events regarding perfumes.
'Wao ! Puphi I still don't believe that he is coming and going to stay here always.' Zoya stood up and was almost jumping.
'I didn't believe that at first too Zoya.' Najma said with same excitement. 'I wish I wasn't having my exam today, I don't feel like going anywhere other than airport.' Najma said with a sad face.
'But we are not going to the airport at 2 o'clock in the morning, driver is going to pick him up and he is coming tomorrow so you should go to college today.' Dilshad said.
'Ok. . . . . .Bye Zoya, catch you later.' Najma said and walked out of the house.
'Puphi, don't tell me to go to university today because I am not going and I am not having any exam today.' Zoya said and delicately placed her hands on her hips. She was very happy to meet Asad, her best friend after so many years.
'Ok I won't force you if its not important to you.' Dilshad smiled at her.
'I will go and tell the maid to clean his room, You know he is a bit cleanliness freak so he won't like his room dusty at all.' Zoya said and walked away.
------------------------------------
Zoya came to his room and was looking at everything now. Guitar, bed, couch, book shelf, lots of perfumes and everything else. Everything was on its right place but he wasn't there. She tried to remember the first time he came here. She still remembered the date, year, day and time. There are some events in life you never want to forget.
She remembered the day, date, time and year he went back last time too. There are some events in life you want to forget. She came near the dressing table and took a perfume and smiled. She felt Asad's presence on her back.
She turned back but he wasn't there like he was in her memories.
-------------------------------------
Dilshad could see both of them discussing something secretly but she didn't disturb them. She knew very well what both these girls were upto.
'Zoya, Najma. . . . . . . .Dinner is ready.' She called both of them. They both walked towards the kitchen with sad face.
'Go on, say what you want to say ?' Dilshad said while sitting on the chair.
'Puphi, promise me you won't say no ?' Zoya said.
'Yes, I will say no if you are going to ask me to go to the airport late at night. If there is anything else then I promise I won't say no.' Dilshad said and started eating. Zoya and Najma looked at eachother.
'But Ami ? What's wrong in going to the airport ?' Najma asked her this time.
'Its not safe Najma, how many times have I told you both and even Asad won't like it.' Dilshad said, a bit serious this time.
'But Puphi, we have a new driver now. How will he recognise him ?' Zoya told the fact.
'I will show him Asad's picture and he will be holding Asad's name board.' Dilshad said and looked at her sad face.
'Now start eating your dinner.' She said to both of them.
------------------------------------
Zoya was standing near the window and waiting for him. Dilshad and Najma were sitting on the couch nearby.
'Puphi, I think you should call the driver and ask him why he is late ?' Zoya turned towards her and said.
'I will but I think you both should go and sleep now.' Dilshad said to both of them.
'No ami, I am not.' Najma said.
'Me too.' Zoya said and looked out of the window again. She saw a car coming towards there gate and guard opened the door.
'Puphi, Asad is here.' Zoya shouted excitedly.
'Lets go out.' Najma said happily. Dilshad opened the door and saw driver coming to them.
'Where is Asad ?' She asked him.
'Ma'am his flight is cancelled due to weather.' He said.
'What ? But Asad didn't tell me. He would have told me if anything like that happened, I think you have misunderstood.' Dilshad said.
'No Ma'am I asked from the inquiry counter too, they told me that the flight is cancelled.' He said.
'Ok. You should go back home now.' Dilshad said and shut the door.
'Ami, I think you should call him now.' Najma said and Dilshad dialed his number.
'His number is switched off, he must be busy. I think you both should go and sleep now.' Dilshad said and went to her room. She was still dialing his number again and again.
'Good night Zoya.' Najma said and went to her room. Zoya came back to her room but she wasn't sleepy at all.
What a waste of time ! How can he do this ? She dialed his number but it was still switched off.
She took the sketchbook from the table and started making a sketch. Asad Ahmed Khan's sketch. This wasn't the first time she was making his sketch. She had done this many times before and he loved her when she made his sketch.
She came to his room and switched on the lights. She went straight to the side table and kept it under the paper weight.
Where are you Asad ? She was again feeling sad when she looked at his picture.
I wish he comes as soon as possible. She said with hope to see him soon. She went near the book shelf and took out a book from his shelf.
'The Space Between Us.' Zoya read the title of the book.
She took the book and came on his bed and started reading it but after 15 minutes she kept it back on the side table.
'I don't know why he loves to read these kind of books.' She shook her head in disbelief and took his photo frame in her hands.
'I wish you were here right now.' Zoya said and hugged his picture. She was feeling sleepy now.
'Maybe he is in the flight.' Zoya slightly opened her eyes again.
'I hope he is coming soon.' She wished again before falling asleep.
-------------------------------------
Asad opened the door of his room and was shocked to see her sleeping on his bed. He came near her to make sure that he wasn't imagining anything. He touched her arm and he was sure that this time it was real.
He smiled at her and took the frame from her hands slowly without disturbing her sleep and kept it on the side table. He covered Zoya with blanket and looked at her again.
'You're the most beautiful girl I have ever seen Zoya.' He said and kissed her on her forehead. 'I wish you get the best man on Earth.' He said and his lips turned into a smile.
He kept his watch, cell phone and wallet on the side table and switched off the lights. He looked at her before going out and closed the door behind him.
