FORTY FOUR

The next morning Zoya came down the stairs with Asad hand in hand everyone was seated at the dining table waiting for breakfast to be served 'Zoya' Humera screamed running up to her, Zoya hugged Humera and everyone else followed they were happy to see Asad and Zoya together.

After breakfast Asad sat everyone down and told them the whole story from beginning to end right up to last night where Zoya had told him she had been living in Australia. The families were left dumbfounded so much had transpired it was hard to digest. Najma and Naani were first upset that Asad had kept this from them then the way he had treated Zoya. 'Zoya we promise you that no one will ever hurt you again we will never let you out of our sight' Shireen said Asad laughed and so did Zoya 'don't worry I have already told her that, she has six weeks left and then she is all mine'. 'Six weeks...what do you mean Zoya is not going anywhere Asad' Naani said in a serious tone, Zoya looked at Asad who understood what she was saying 'Naani please she only has six weeks left of this programme then she will return home and finish the rest of her Masters here...and I ..no we promise you that as soon as she does we will get married' Razia placed her hand over Naani's she could understand why she objected and she was happy that her daughters' in laws were so loving and so protective over her 'Naani we know the truth now and it is only six weeks let Zoya go' Naani nodded although she wasn't happy she had little choice but to agree.

As planned Zoya went to meet Sara and Sahil she spent a long time with them catching up on everything and filling them in on what had been happening in her life. Mr Mohan had been in close contact with Emilia so already knew he was happy to see Zoya and to know tht everything was getting back to normal. 'Zoya once you have finished you do realise you will need to go back to Italy for the final display' 'yes sir Mrs Perry filled me in, I will be ready and sir I promise I will do you proud' she said with a confident smile

Zoya saw Asad pull up outside 'time to go guys' she said Sara and Sahil hugged her please keep in contact this time and hurry back soon' Sara said before letting her go. Zoya ran towards Asad who was standing by the passenger side 'hey, I hope you don't mind I wanted...' Zoya smiled not letting him finish his sentence 'I don't mind at all I was hoping you would come'.

'Zoya do you have everything packed' Najma shouted across the room 'yes...can you get Ram to take my luggage down' Asad had wanted to spend the evening alone with Zoya but with her parents there and the rest of his family it was proving difficult. 'Zoya get some rest you will need it before your long flight back' Ghaffur said holding his daughter close to him Zoya looked at the time it was coming up to half ten she had to be up and ready to leave by four O'clock 'maybe I will Abu' she reached up and kissed Ghaffur on the cheek before she got up 'good night everyone' Asad looked at her as to say I don't think so. Zoya couldn't help giggling she walked past him intentionally 'good night Mr Khan' she whispered as she winked at him.

Asad was becoming restless he wanted to go and see her but he also needed to debrief Ayaan, who was leaving for New York. 'Don't worry I have it covered there is no way she will be able to continue with what she is doing, I will be watching her like a hawk' Asad knew Ayaan would be able to handle everything in his absence 'I'll be there on Monday, keep me informed of any new developments'. As Asad bid everyone good night he went to his room he was in two minds should he go to see her or let her sleep not being able to resist he decided to go to see her as he was about to walk back out her saw a shadow through the curtains, someone was outside, as he approached the door he was pleasantly surprised Zoya was sitting by the pool 'hey, I thought you were going to bed' Zoya looked up to him and smiled 'I was and I will' she extended her hand for Asad to take, holding her hand he sat down beside as he did he put his arm around her waist and pulled her towards him.

An awkward silence took place as they continued to look into each other's eyes. Asad inched forward then stopped he wasn't sure if he should do this as he was about to move away Zoya held on to his shirt and pulled him back, she then met him half way and placed a soft kiss on his lips. That was all that Asad needed, he held her face in his hands and kissed her back it didn't take long for them to lose themselves in one another.

After a long passionate embrace Asad took Zoya inside where he claimed her lips once again as Zoya wrapped her arms around his neck Asad ran his hands down her back his hold was strong. Zoya pushed into him further, Asad lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist every part of her body hungered to be touched to be kissed, she felt a wave take over, feelings of a sensation she had never felt before she was no longer in control of her body. Zoya parted her lips to catch a very much needed breath, she rested her forehead on top of his 'I missed you' she said in a low whisper, Asad pecked her lips and put her down 'I missed you too'. 'I...I should go' she said hesitantly she didn't want to but at this moment in time she didn't trust herself, and what made it worse was that she saw the same hunger the same passion in Asad's eyes that she felt. She leaned up to kiss him one last time before she started to walk out 'don't go' she heard him say in a low voice. Zoya stopped and turned around, his eyes had become softer 'As..' 'Please Zoya...stay' his request sounded so innocent. Zoya felt her heart race, her stomach summersaulted as Asad held out his hand, Zoya looked down at his hand then back up to meet his gaze that were silently pleading, how could she say no. She came forward and took his hand he could see that she looked a little nervous, he pulled her into a hug 'I just want you with me Zoya...promise I won't do anything' he said trying to reassure her that his intentions were pure, Zoya smiled trying to hide her blush 'I'm tired can we lie down'.

The whole family had woken up to say goodbye to Zoya as she hugged everyone she fought back the tears that stung her eyes. 'I'll call you as soon as I have landed and I promise to contact you every day' she reassured her family. She looked at Asad 'you don't have to come the driver will take me..' 'really Zoya' he looked at her raising his eyebrow 'come we should get going' Zoya smiled and followed him out to the car.

'As soon as I have sorted everything out I'll come out to see you' he said hugging her one last time, Zoya's heart raced 'please be careful and please keep me updated otherwise I will worry' 'promise...now go before they start calling out for you' Zoya half-heartedly smiled, she was sad to be leaving him again, Asad kissed her cheek 'I love you' 'I love you too Asad'. As she was about to walk off Asad called out to her 'you're forgetting something' Zoya looked at him confused she shrugged her shoulders 'what' Asad took her hand and put the ring back on her finger 'this' he said as he caressed her hand 'thank you' was all she could manage to say. She quickly kissed him on the cheek and ran towards the departure gate.
