CHAPTER TWENTY :
'I don't need to ask him, he is the one who wants to marry you as soon as possible.' Dilshad lied to her. Zoya wasn't shocked to know that because he told her already.
'But what's the hurry ?' Zoya asked them.
'Actually as I am also here so we thought that Nikaah should be done soon so I can attent it.' Ghafoor said to her.
'But Najma is not here puphi.' Zoya gave another reason.
'Does that mean you are ready to marry him ?' He asked her again.
'I don't know, I am not sure yet.' Zoya said confusedly.
'Zoya, he loves you don't think too much. I know him very well.' Dilshad said to her. She stood up and sat near Dilshad.
'Then why did he say he doesn't love me ?' She whisperred in her ear ignorring her father totally. Dilshad smiled at her.
'You should have expected that from him at first. He is always like this you know him.' Dilshad said in low voice.
'Yes, I don't love you. Maybe, its just attraction.' She still rememberred his words.
'Ya he is but I don't believe him now and I won't talk to him ever.' Zoya pulled out a perfect puppy dog face. Ghafoor was quiet all this while.
'Everytime you fight with him you say the same but you can't stay away from him for long.' Dilshad irritated her.
'No, this time I am sure I can control myself.' She rememberred the challenge he gave her.
'That's good.' Dilshad hugged her while Ghafoor coughed.
'You know you can't take a right decision when you are angry on me so please just do as I say.' She wasn't confused anymore. Like always, she did what Asad told her to do.
'Umm. . . .ya I am ready.' Zoya said finally. Ready for the challenge actually.
'Congratualations Dilshad Bi.' He was happy to know that.
'I will bring the sweets.' Zoya said excitedly and they both laughed at her.
He came back home late and she was sitting in the living room enjoying her pizza and watching TV. He sat on the other couch on her side and looked here and there while she ignorred him.
'Where is ami ?' He asked her.
'She is sleeping.' Zoya said while taking a sip from the cold drink.
'And what happened in the evening ?' He asked her confusedly.
'I don't know.' She wasn't interested in talking to him at all.
'What does that mean ?' He got worried now.
'It means that I don't know what you are talking about ?' She said while looking at him.
'You know very well what I am talking about.' He said.
'Good for you.' She said and looked back at the TV and changed the channel.
'Fine ! Don't tell me, I will ask ami in the morning.' He stood up to go. He was sure that she won't have said no.
'That's better. Atleast you can spend one night happily before that because you are going to get a shock tomorrow.' She couldn't stop herself from irritating him and took a bite from the slice. He turned back and looked at her.
'Who said its going to be a shock if you will say no ?' He raised his eyebrow. 'Let me remind you that I am not dieing to marry you. Its just that I have to marry one day so I chose you.' He said to annoy her. She looked at him in disbelief.
'Allah Miyaan ! What's wrong with you Asad ? Just look at you, you were fine as a friend but now after I said yes you are not having my importance anymore. Let me call abu and cancel this wedding.' She said angrilly.
'That means you said yes. That's good I don't need to force you now.' He said and turned back. He was relieved now.
She kept the pizza box aside and stood up. He was walking back to his room when she came on his way.
'I said yes because of puphi, she wants to see me as her daughter in law.' She said proudly. 'Not because you think that I love you.' She reminded him.
'Then stay with your puphi after we get married, I don't want to see your dirty face in my room all the time.' He said pointing toward the cheese that was coming out of her mouth. She noticed it and licked it with her tongue.
'Firstly, I will talk to puphi about that in the morning because even I like my room more than your boring room and secondly, my face is not dirty, you are just jealous because I look good with cheese on my face too. Huh !' She said proudly.
'That reminds me that you are not supposed to eat that unhealthy food for few days, then why are you eating that ? And have you took your medicines ?' He asked her worriedly.
'And that reminds me that I am not talking to you and yes I have taken my medicines. I can take care of myself.' She said and he pinched the bridge of his nose.
'Ok. Can I go to my room now ?' He asked her.
'Who is stopping you ? You can go there anytime you want. I was just standing by the way.' She said like she didn't care.
'Then get away from my way.' He said annoyingly this time.
'What if I don't ?' She asked to irritate him.
'Zoya, I am tired now so let me go.' Asad said.
'First be a good boy and propose me.' She said proudly. He took a deep breath and came near her. She raised her eyebrow. He bent down and took her in his arms, she wasn't expecting that so she looked at him in shock. He walked back to the couch while she was lost in his eyes but as soon as he threw her on the couch she came out of her dreams and to her surprise he took some tissues to clean his hands.
'I know how I have convinced myself to get married, proposing will take a year or more. So lets not waste time on that and get married.' He said with serious tone and walked back to his room.
'Allah Miyaan ! What's wrong with you Asad ? I am not that dirty that you need tissue papers to clean your hands.' She shouted at his back. She wasn't expecting him to propose but she was shocked when he cleaned his hands after throwing her.
'I am tired now so we will talk tomorrow.' He ignorred what she said and told his decision and closed the door. She stood up to go to his room but as soon as she rotated the door knob she realized that the door was locked.
'I will fix you and this door too after we get married.' She was shouting outside his room now. He controlled himself not to go out and walked to the wardrobe.
'And don't you dare think I want to marry you, even I am not dieing to marry you.' She shouted again and he heard the noise of she closing her door room loudly.
I have really spoiled her, I don't know how am I going to stay with her for my whole life ? He was again thinking about not getting married.
I shouldn't think about that again and again. I can handle her, I know that. He tried to behave confident.
-------------------------------------
She came out of her washroom when she heard noise of annoying ringtone. She tried to figure out what it was and she realized that someone was calling her on skype. She looked at the bundle of clothes on her bed and started finding her I Pad in that.
Asad knocked at the door and enterred and was shocked to see her sitting on the bed and throwing her clothes one by one on the floor.
'What are you doing Zoya ?' He asked her confusedly. She looked up at him and back on the bundle.
'I am finding my I Pad. Can you see it anywhere ?' She asked and threw a shirt on his face.
'No I don't see it anywhere.' He controlled his anger and threw the shirt away and looked at her messy room. 'And why is your room so messed up ?' He asked her annoyingly.
'Its because I am getting married tomorrow. I get tired everyday after shopping and preparations. What else do you expect from me ?' She asked him back while looking under the pillows. She couldn't hear the ringtone anymore.
'Even I am getting married tomorrow but my room never looks like this at all.' He said angrilly.
'Just keep patience, I will take care of your room very well after our Nikaah.' She said to irritate him. He couldn't see her face and was again having second thoughts about the marriage. He could imagine his room like this after few days.
'Don't try to scare me, just clean this room right now.I won't tolerate all this.' He said while coming out of his thoughts. She came near him.
'This is my room so I don't need your guidance and anyways what are you doing here ? You know I am not talking to you.' She realized suddenly and asked.
'I came here to tell you that ami is calling you outside.' He came to the point.
'Ok.' She said ignorring him. He looked at her and thought he should say sorry to her again but she heard the noise of skype call again and went on searching again.
'Yay !! I got it !' She said as soon as she took out her I Pad from under the bed. He smiled at her and thought to talk to her any other time and came out of her room as soon as she jumped on the couch.
'Hey Najma !' She picked up the call.
'Hi Zoya. How are you ?' She asked her.
'I am fine but I am missing you so much.' Zoya said with sad face.
'I am missing you all too and I am sorry that I couldn't come but I will come there next month maybe.' Najma said.
'I know I understand, we can celebrate later too.' Zoya said with a smile.
'Yes we will. So are you happy ?' Najma asked her.
'I don't know. I am so much nervous, I told you what your bhaijaan did before and after my accident. Everything is revolving in my head, I couldn't sleep last night too.' Zoya said and took a deep sigh.
'Zoya don't think too much, he loves you for sure.' Najma said.
'No, he doesn't.' She said sadly.
'Ok I am not going to start that arguement. Just relax and believe him.' Najma said.
'No, I am not going to believe him so soon, you just wait and watch. I have so many plans in my mind I have to work on. Just waiting for this Nikaah thing to happen.' Zoya said with a wicked smile on her face and Najma started laughing.
'I know your stupid plans very well, just grow up now. You are getting married tomorrow.' Najma said to annoy her.
'So what ? I have to win from him, that matters more to me.' Zoya told her.
'Ok best of luck. Tell me where is Ami ? She is not picking up my call.' Najma asked her.
'Puphi ? Oh no ! I forgot she is waiting for me, we have to pick my dress from the designer. So gotta go now. I will tell her to call you.' Zoya said without taking breath and started looking for her shoes.
'Okie Bye.' Najma said to her.
'Bye and take care of yourself.' Zoya said with a smile and cancelled the call.
