Hello Guys, i read all your comments,i read all of them.. thank you so much.. i shall reply later... i was supposed to update this yesterday.. i was cought up with some work.. so here you go..
Chapter 12
Asad was hell confused... He checked the newspaper add Zoya was talking about.. He saw a photograph... it looked quite old.. and her contacts... who was she looking for, his mind was running into conclusions, yet he was confused, he decided to directly ask Zoya...
It was noon...Zoya was in her room clearing out her stuff from the closet...
Asad knocked the door...
'Come in' Zoya said as soon as she looked at Asad she just turned away sitting on the bed
'Wo, actually.. i ..i heard the conversation between you and Najma this morning, and that add.. i mean, are you looking for someone??' he asked out of concern, Zoya had tears in her eyes, the man who saved her, showed her concern and then acted like it meant nothing, and he had the guts to help her again, she wiped her face and turned to face him...
'Thank you so much Mr Khan, i don't need your help... and ya this time its none of your family member's fault... this is my own battle, i wish to fight all alone.. i don't want your sympathy.. oh sorry, forget even sympathy, i really have no words to describe what you did to me, to save my life..'
'Actually.. its nothing... i mean' Asad was cut off by Zoya..
'Let it be Mr Khan, i know, im just a burden here. You saved me to save your family from any kind of problems, i get that.. thanks, but you dont have to remind me, because every single word you said, it will remain in my brains..I can never forget that...' she said angrily, while Asad pinched the bridge of his nose..."Blabber queen" he murmured
'I never meant to say that again.. i wasn't reminding, i genuinely want to help you in your battle'
'Thank you.. I don't need your help anymore.. enough is enough... anyways aunty has gone to attend a wedding, i have decided to move out... i cannot burden her anymore nor i wish to live under the same roof as you' She spat out... Asad rolled his eyes
'Look Miss New york.. your new to this place, and by the way, i don't want ammi to blame me for this.. You can do me a favor by staying until she comes atleast' he said hoping that she'll agree, because he was sure that his ammi would never let her go..
'Again... again you act like you don't care.. but your eyes. It says it all.. why don't you simply accept the fact that you care.. i know your not that selfish like you seem to be...' Zoya said looking into his eyes,
Asad was shocked to know the way she read him... he mentally smacked himself for being so expressive...
'Fine!! If you want to leave, Go ahead, i wont stop you'
'you knw what Mr Khan, you will never change... by this kind of behavior, you will only lose people.. this is not the way to deal with people... Your just too egoistic,.. I know we started on a bad note, doesn't mean you still hold on to the ego, anyways, it was nice meeting you... and thank you again for saving my life.. even if it was for different reasons'
'Now If you leave, i think i should start packing' Zoya said and walked towards the closet...
Asad walked to his room and banged the door...
'What does she think of herself... She wants to leave.. what should i do now, does Tamatar know about this'
He immediately dialled Najma... and asked her if she knew about this
'Ji bhaijaan, Zoya decided to leave this morning, and she asked me not to inform ammi now, and bhaijaan, i think ill be late today, Ayan's picking me from my friends house tonight, is that okay'
'uh, okay.. by the way, where would she stay.. i mean she doesn't know anybody here and.. uh,.. u know what i mean right?'
'Ji bhaijaan, But she's not willing to stay here, i wasn't able to stop her, by the end of the day its her decision right??'
'yeah.. still.. i mean, its not safe right.. she's all alone and'
'Bhaijaan, relax.. why are you getting so worried'
'uh.. nothing, im not worried, its upto her.. i wont stop her.. okay, take care of yourself.. and be back early.. okay'
'Ji bhaijaan.. Allah Hafiz'
'Allah Hafiz' He said and smacked the phone on his bed... He sat on his couch with hands covering his head...
'What do i do now.. How do i stop Zoya'
'yay' screamed Najma Giving a Hi Five to Ayan... Our plan finally worked...
'yeah, thanks to Zoya though, she decided to leave and you dint stop her.. Good work Najma, Now lets see how Asad miyan will still control his feelings, he'll definitely stop her... '
'Yeah Ayan, like you said there is something fishy, especially after i heard their conversation last night, i was completely convinced that Bhaijaan does have feelings for Zoya.. How he totally turned the tables, Allah, Koi mere bhaijaan se seekhe, how to control your feelings.. he said he saved her because of us.. yeah right.. i can still remember his anger when he heard that Zoya remained at the farmhouse' She said chuckling
'I know.. waise how did you manage to hide this from ammi' Ayan asked curiously
'That was Zoya's decision, she din want to trouble ammi, that's why, and i never protested her.. what does she think, i would just let her go off so easily.. never.. all this is just to bring you love birds closer... Ayan yesterday i observed Zoya's actions.. she was overwhelmed that bhaijaan saved her but there was something more to it... seriously.. these two are attracted to each other'
'true.. now these two emotionally challenged people can't help themselves, that's why Allah gave us this special skills to acknowledge their feelings' Ayan said winking
'haha.. so true.. Will u stop acting like a Lord now' She said smacking his head...
'hey, don't spoil my hairdo!! you weirdo' He said correcting his hair..
'Shut up Ayan... your the weirdo'
'you'
'no you'
'youooo... nits you... Ta-Ma-Tar'
'Ayan.. u loser, stop calling me that' she said running behind him...'
'Hey.. lower your voice you loud speaker, your house is just few feet away.. Asad can hear us'
'Oh ya... still i wont leave you' she said running behind him...
Thankfully luck favored Najma and Ayan, Imam, Dilshad and Shireen were out of town for a wedding and at the same time Zoya decided to leave and they could bring their plan into action... Najma and Ayan made excuses and stayed away so that Asad could deal with Zoya all by himself
--------------------------------------
Dilshad and shireen were seated in the backseat where as Imam in the passenger seat.. they hired a taxi...
'Dilshad, im really tired of attending weddings, when will we witness a wedding in our house, i really wish to see Asad's wedding, our Akdu getting married, imagine seeing him with a girl... all lovey dovey types,i really want to see that dilshad... ' she said whispering into her ears, Dilshad's mouth was wide open
'Shireen.. shh.. Imam will hear us.. what lovey dovey.. Ya Allah,, shireen tumbhi na.. You act like a teenager' she said laughing
'ahem.. what are you young ladies talking about.. why am i out of conversation..' Imam said turning behind
'Kuch nahi Imam.. tumhari biwi na, bilkul pagal hai.. bas' Dilshad said while Shireen smacked her arm
' Kuch naya bolo yaar Dilshad' Imam said smirking at his wife
'Imam.. aap ghar chaliye, Dekhte hai kaun pagal hai.. huh' she said glaring, while Dilshad chuckled
'Oho, phir shuru.. Shireen chup...' Dilshad said shoing her index finger
'haan.. bas mujhe chup karwalo... Imam aap kya piche dekh rahe hai... aap toh apna newspaper padh rahe the na.. carry on' she said making faces
'Okay Wifey.. as you wish' He said looking back into the paper..
'Shireen... ye dekho' He said turning back again
'Maine kaha na, piche nahi dekha hai aapko...' she said rolling her eyes
'Shireen... ye tumhara tasweer, apne family ke saath' He said lending out the paper to her...
'Kya... Ya Allah.. ye toh mera tasveer hai, Ammi aur bhaijaan ke saath.. mujhe koi dhoondh raha hai...' she said with tears in her eyes...
'Imam..' said looking at him, she knew he doesn't connect well with her family... she wanted to read his reactions
'he just nodded, asking her to call on the given number'
She immediately took out her phone and dialed, it said switched off... she kept dialing, after a couple of minutes, Dilshad and Imam tried again, but it was the same...
'Imam.. ho sakta hai, Bhaijaan mujhe dhoond rahe ho...' Yaha toh kisika naam bhi nahi likha hai...
'Hosakta hai tumhare Bhaijaan hi hai.. ' Imam said... Shireen got upset and started crying while Dilshad consoled her... Imam felt bad for separating her from her family...
23 years back.. That was the time Shireen completely broke her relation with her family and live away from them, He brother Gaffor, Mother and her Bhabhi Zainab... Zainab was always like an elder sister to Shireen... She pampered her a lot though she got no less from her brother and her ammi... she was the queen of the Siddiqui's.. She fell in love with Imam, who worked at Siddiqui industries... He was the manager.. an efficient and a loyal employee... Shireen met him at one of the corporate parties, Imam never knew she was Gaffur's sister, He was no doubt a playboy and a flirt but when it comes to business, he was int interested in the personal matters of his colleagues or his boss...So he had no idea about Shireen.. They met each other, Shireen got to know the kind of person he was, so she never revealed her true identity.. they gradually fell in love.. Shireen then revealed her identity, Imam refused to marry her... He resigned from his job and joined another company... He was the most efficient employee and Gaffur was confused from his resignation... he learnt that Imam had joined one of the competitors of Siddiqui industries and that he had an affair with his sister... that was the rumor spread across the staff members... He was convinced that Imam used his sister to gather insider information and now he's passing it out to another company.. He never discussed it with Shireen. he right away fixed her wedding with a business men... She ran from her wedding... Imam was totally broken learning Shireen's identity.. When she reached him running away from her Nikah, he was more than convinced that she loved him.. That was all that mattered at that moment.. the Got married immediately... Gaffur who found out all this was totally shattered... his sister cheated on him... She put him down... This news gave a bad impact on his company... he would hear gossips among staff.. it was the hot topic among the staff members which made him bow down.. He was the man of principles and today people who would get scared by one look of his were laughing at his back... He made sure Imam loses his job by paying a high amount to one of the officials in the firm Imam was working... Since he was thrown from his Job, getting a new Job became difficult...
Gaffur's ammi tried to convince him to leave them in peace.. But he was not willing to listen, he had a bad impression on Imam... He tried ruining them... he paid hotels and lodges and the owners of rented houses not to let the couple stay there... he was a very influential man... So people obliged him...But Fate led them to Dilshad's house. She was the only one who helped them... She being friends with Imam helped..
Zainab asked shireen to move away from Bhopal to save her relation, it was almost 6 months after her Nikah with Imam.. and she was 2 months pregnant...and at the same time even Zainab was carrying...she was just 2 weeks... but neither of them disussed about it...
Shireen and Imam decided to face Gaffur asking him to stop ruining time... Gaffur asked Shireen to divorce Imam.. She had hatred for her brother for saying that... Shireen broke her relation with her maternal house completely...
Gaffur learned that Imam was innocent, he decided to leave them in peace... He was totally broken.. He was still angry at his sister for running away and breaking her relation.. he lost his pride in the society because of her and his business was at stake, because of all the things that happen in the last one year... He moved to NYC ... when his princess was 2 years... Shireen had no idea about her birth nor Zainab's death... Gaffur was completely shattered to even inform her.. he managed to stay in India for 2 years, he decided to move on... He left India forever... After a few years shireen got to know that Gaffur was no more in Bhopal, but she never knew where he was...she tried finding him but in vein...
