OS : ASYA in New York
This was the OS which I had written and uploaded during the Christmas Contest...Wanted to upload this earlier but somehow missed out all these days.. Hope you all like it.. Do key in your comments !!
I would like to dedicate this OS to my most favourite member in IF - Ankie-Ankitha (Miss Humpty Dumpty - IF) for her amazing writing skills which encouraged me to start writing initially in IF and it is hard to believe that I have posted more than 7 SS and nearly 10 OS in this forum.. Thanks a lot Ankie.. !!
After the unpleasant event of Razia morphing Zoya's photo and trying to insult her, Zoya had become very upset and was feeling very low thinking how could anybody stoop down to such a level just to throw out her Poophi and herself from that house...
Though Asad had shifted to the out house, he kept a close watch on Zoya fearing she would land up in trouble again.. He wanted to cheer her up and was thinking what to do.. Since the visa to New York was already in place for both himself and Zoya, he decided to take her to her Appi and Jeeju during Christmas since he also had less work around that time and it had been a very long time since he had taken a break...
Asad : Ms. Farooqui.. apne bags pack kijiye.. humein kal subah paanch baje ka flight pakdna hain New York keliye...
Zoya : Ab kya hua Mr Khan ?? Apne promise kiya hain na poophi ko ki hum unhe akela chodke nahin jaynege ?? What's wrong with you Mr. Khan ?? Aap itne jaldi phir se apna decision kyun change kar rahein hain...??
Asad waited patiently till she finished blabbering... He just crossed his arms and with a very small hidden smile on his face kept on looking at her...
After speaking non stop for nearly 5 minutes, Zoya realized that Asad was not responding but was quietly standing and looking at her...She stopped...
Asad : Shukr hain ... apne itni jaldi chup hogaye... Would you allow me to speak now ??
Zoya : Ji...
Asad : Hum hamesha keliye nahin... Christmas time pe zyada kaam nahin hain.. aur mein yahan se kuch din bahar jana chatha tha.. isliye meine socha kyun na hum dono apki appi aur jeeju ko surprise de ??
Zoya : Wow.. Mr. Khan.. you are such a sweet heart.. and she hugged him not realizing that they were in SM and in the garden of that house...
Asad was happy that she liked his holiday plan.. : To chaliye jaldi se packing kijiye ... humein ammi ko bhi batana hoga...
Zoya : Mr. Khan.. kya hum poophi ko yahan akela chodke ja saktein hain ??aap jante hain na ki yeh log kitne ghatiya hain ??
Asad : Humein ammi ki fikr karneki koi zaroorat nahin.. Wo apna khayal rak satki hain... Najma ko bhi kehdoonga ki wo har do din mein yahan ake ammi ko dekh kar jaye...aur hum sirf dus din keliye to ja rahein hain...
Zoya : Teek hain Mr. Khan.. Mein Haider se bhi kehdoongi ki wo poophi ka khayal rakhein... !!
Dilshad and Najma were happy to know that Asad and Zoya were going out to have some time for themselves and they promised to take care of themselves in their absence...
In the Flight :
Asad and Zoya had luckily boarded the flight just on time.. and since it was an early morning flight, obviously they had not slept whole night and it was very tiring for both of them... Zoya had preferred to take the window seat and due to the tiredness, she had dozed off even before the flight took off...only to wake up again after few minutes...She saw that Asad had switched on a News channel and was watching it though his eyes had turned red due to lack of sleep...Most of the passengers had dozed off by now... but one of the ladies from the cabin crew(CC) came to Asad...
CC : Mr. Khan.. any problem..?? You are not sleeping.. Can I get anything for you ??
Asad : No.. Thanks.. !!
Zoya : Mr. Khan.. apko neend nahin aa rahi hain ?? Mana ki yeh direct flight hain.. lekin 16 hours ka journey hain... Muje lagta hain ki ab sojana hain...
Asad : Ji...
CC : Sir.. Is anything bothering you ?? If you need a change of seat ?? looking at Zoya...
Zoya : What's wrong with you ?? Why will he sit elsewhere... ?? We are travelling together...
CC : Oh.. I am sorry.. I thought..
Zoya : Look.. Miss.. and she noticed that her name was Fatima from the ID Badge... Miss Fatima.. He is my fiancee.. and we are together and she put her hand possessively on Asad...
CC: Excuse me please... and she literally ran away...
Zoya : yeh sab apki galti hain Mr. Khan.. aap itne handsome kyun hain ??.. aur aap itna smile kyun kar rahein hain.. aap na apne akdu mode pe chale jayiye.. koi nahin ayegi apke paas warna patha nahin.. kya hoga...
Asad smiled widened hearing her ...
Zoya :Mr. Khan.. Meine kya kaha.. aur aap yeh kya kar rahein hain.. Dekhiye.. agar aap aur smile karenge.. to baki ke sabi air hostess yaha ajayegi.. chaliye uthiye...
Asad : Ms. Farooqui aap kya kar rahin hain ??
Zoya : Mr. Khan.. uthiye please.. chaliye aap window seat pe bait jayiye.. and she took his earlier seat.. and she literally put her head on his shoulder and told him to hug her and went off to sleep...
The rest of the journey in the flight, Zoya had ensured that none of the air hostess got near to her Mr. Khan.. which brought a smile on Asad's face..
Finally after 16 long hours of journey, the flight landed in JFK Airport... Zoya was very happy on reaching here after a long time... They hired a cab and reached her api's apartment which was in Park Slope Area in New York... Asad noticed that it was a very posh area and infact the apartment was very huge and luxurious... Since it was a Sunday, they new that both Zeenat and Anwar would be at home... Zoya was all excited to see the reaction on her appi's face.. She rang the bell and hid herself behind Asad...
Zeenat : Arre... Asad .. aap yahan ?? and she saw that there was nobody else other than him ...and just before she asked for Zoya...
Zoya : Surprise Aapi and she jumped out from her hiding place... And hugged her Aapi...
Hearing Zoya's voice, Anwar also came out running...
Anwar : Mera.. baccha.. and he also hugged her...
Asad realized how much Anwar and Zeenat loved his Zoya and how much they missed her...
Anwar : oh I am sorry... Andar ayiye Asad.. please...
The apartment was quite huge from inside as well and no doubt Zoya was brought up here with all the luxuries in life...
Asad : Actually Zoya aap dono ko miss kar rahi thi .. isliye dus din keliye hum dono yahan agaye.. aur aap dono se nikaah ke barein mein bhi baat karni thi...
Zeenat and Anwar smiled... They knew what Asad and Zoya had gone through and they were just happy that these two had been strong enough to face all the challenges life had thrown so far...
Anwar : aap dono thak gaye honge.. chaliye aap todhi dher rest karlijiye.. and he guided Asad to the guest room...
Asad slept for some time and woke up... He knew that Zoya's room was the one next to his and so he slowly peeped into it... A big smile spread across his face looking at her.. She was sleeping hugging a huge teddy bear.. and there were few more around her bed... Irrespective of the cold, she had not used the quilt but was hugging the teddy bear.. He walked to her bed and placed the quilt gently on her which she hugged tightly with a smile on her face and continued to sleep... As he turned back, he saw that her cupboard was open and there were lots of skirts and shorts in it... He remembered the day she had worn skirt in Khan villa and how he had shouted at her and also her response...She had not worn either the shorts or skirts even after coming to New York.. She had worn one of the night suits which she used to wear at home which made him smile again.. .. He understood the fact that it was for his sake ... He closed the door gently and came down to join her appi and jeeju...
Zeenat : Aap uth gaye Asad ?? Kuch lenge ??
Asad : Nahin api abhi nahin.. Zoya ke saath hi khana khaoonga...
Anwar : Wo itni jaldi uthegi nahin.. and I am sure wo pizza khayegi.. to aap khana khalijiye...
Asad : Nahin..Mein Zoya ka wait karoonga...Its fine ... !!
Just then the door bell rang again and there were 4 friends ( Sahil, Ruby, Jannet and Rahul) of Zoya who walked in ...
Sahil : Aapi .. Zoya agayi.. kahan hain wo ?
Zeenat : Abhi tak so rahi hain.. aur aap logon ko kisne bataya ??
Rahul : Aapi.. humari princess agayi aur humein kaise patha nahin chalega...Mein jatha hoon usse uthane...
Asad was getting very angry now... He definitely did not like Rahul calling Zoya princess...and even before Zeenat or Anwar could say anything, all the four of them rushed to her room... Asad also got up and followed them along with Zeenath and Anwar...
Rahul : Ye dekho.. kitni araam se so rahi hain... and he went to Zoya and bent down near her ears and shouted... Princess uth jao... !!
Zoya slowly opened her eyes and finding all her best friends, she immediately sat on her bed and closed her mouth with her hands ...
Sahil : Arre.. aise hi dekh thi rahogi... and all her four friends.. hugged her...
Rahul : Accha hua.. tum Christmas time pe ayi ho.. ab jitne bhi din tum yahan ho.. tum humare saath ghumogi.. aur yeh kaise kapde pehne kar so rahi ho ??
Zoya : Bas.. Bas.. kitna baat karnelage ho Rahul...
Rahul : Itna miss jo kiya tha tumhein.. Ek phone call bhi nahin kar sakti thi right ??
Zoya : Sorry Rahul...
Sahil : Yahan Resign karke tum to India chaligayi.. lekin company mein tumhari jaisi genius ki kami abhi bhi hain...
This was news to Asad..His thougths : Zoya yahan kaam karti thi.. unhone muje kabhi bataya bhi nahin ??
Jannet : Haan Zoya.. Jo coding tum ek din mein kardeti thi.. hum ek hafte ya pandra din laga rahein hain... tumhein patha hain.. client ne mail bhi kiya tha ki unhe tumse hi project discussion karna chathe the.. lekin jab unhe patha chala ki tum company chod chuki ho.. to unhone tumhare tareef mein bahut bada mail bheja tha... Tum to company ke asset thi...
Ruby : Chalo Zoya.. Ready ho jao.. Chalthein hain...
Zoya : Sorry.. friends.. Wo actually mein aap logon ke saath nahin aa sakti hoon.. Actually mein yahan apne fiance ke saath ayi hooon.. To muje unke saath hi pura New York ghoomna hain...
Jannet : Wo.. ye kab hua... ??
Zoya : Mr. Khan.. and she stood up and joined him at the door and put her hands on his.. Mr. Khan.. ye sab mere college friends aur hum sab ek hi company mein kaam karthein the... and friends.. He is Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan.. .. Bhopal ke mashoor aur bahut hi successful architect... aur mere fianc...
All her friends took turns to shake hands with him...
Rahul : Aap bahut hi lucky hain.. Mr. Khan... !!
Asad : Janta hoon.. and he put his shoulders on Zoya and pulled her close to him...Waise aap sab humein join kar saktein hain...
Zoya : Nahin.. What's wrong with you Mr. Khan ?? Mein apke saath akele mein waqt bitna chathi hoon aur aap ...
All her friends started giggling to see her shouting at her fiancee...
Asad :Actually aap apne friends se itne mahine ke baad mil rahi hain.. isliye meine socha...
Jannet : Mr. Khan.. Its ok.. !! Actually aaj raat mere ghar pe christmas party hain.. aur aap sab humare ghar pe ayiye... !! baad mein hum disturb nahin karenge...Lekin jane se phele ek baar phir se milne zaroor ayenge...
Asad smiled and nodded...
Zeenat : Ye hui na baat... Chaliye sab khane keliye..
All through the lunch, Asad noticed how much Zoya's friends loved and pampered her and he promised himself that he would try his best to keep her happy always...
Ruby : Zoya... tum apne prince ko kahan kahan ghumane leke ja rahi ho ??
Zoya : Waise Mr. Khan.. ko American Museum of History dekhne mein maza ayega.. lekin mein unhe kisi bhi museum mein leke nahin jaoongi.. Mein unke saath Central Park mein haath mein haath dalke lambi walk pe jana chathi hoon .. baad mein statue of liberty ko dekhna zaroori hi.. aur meine net pe dekha ki Radio city hall mein New Year tak har din couple dance ho rahi hain.. to wahan bhi jaoongi.. aur bahut sari shopping bhi karni hain... !!
Zeenat : Zoya.. Sab tum hi decide karogi.. Asad ko bhi poochlo.. Wo kya dekhna chahenge ??
Asad : Aapi.. Zoya jo bhi decide karegi.. hum wahi karenge.. Actually unhi keliye meine ye holiday plan kiya meine..
Jannet : How sweet... Mr. Khan.. Apka koi bai hain kya.. Agar apke jaisa hi hain.. to mein unse shaadi karnekeliye abhi tayaar hoon ...
Zoya : What's wrong with you Jannet.. Tum shuru hogayi.. Dekho.. Mr. Khan sirf mere hain.. aur rahi baat unke bhai ki.. uska bhi nikaah fix hogaya hain.. !!
Jannet : Arre.. tum itni possessive kyun ho rahi ho Zoya... !! Mein to sirf tumhare fiance ki tareef kar rahi hoon...
Finally Zoya's friends leave after pulling her leg for some more time
Evening, Zeenat's house...
Asad was dressed in his formal black suit and white shirt... and red tie.. Zeenat and Anwar were also ready..
Asad : Aapi.. yeh kyun itna waqt le rahi hain ??
Zeenat : Har Christmas party pe Zoya gown pehnti hain... Shopping keliye waqt bhi nahin tha.. patha nahin bichari.. kya kar rahi hai.. dekhti hoon...
But before Zeenat went to the stairs, everybody saw Zoya coming down.. She was in white and gold saree... She had tied her hair to a French roll and a single red rose along with it... Asad was mesmerized looking at his beautiful angel...
Asad : Masha allah... !!
Zoya : Mr. Khan.. chaliye late ho rahein hain... !!
All through the journey to Jannet's house, Asad was stealing glances at Zoya.. .He had definitely not expected her to come in a saree and that too in New York.. but he was very happy... !!
Jannet's House...
A very big Christmas tree was decorated in the huge drawing room... Lots of guests had already arrived... As soon as Zoya's friends saw her coming, they all went to invite the family...
Sahil : Zoya.. Tum saree mein... Masha allah.. bahut khoobsoorat lag rahi ho... !! .
Jannet's mother : Zoya.. So nice to see you beta.. Har saal tum party organize karne mein madat karti thi.. lekin is saal sab muje hi karna pada.. tum janti ho na Jannet ko kabhi bhi meri madat nahin karti hain... .!!
Zoya smiled and introduced Asad to Jannet's Parents...
Jannet's Mother : Asad.. aap bahut hi lucky ho... Zoya hamesha meri beti banke rahi hain... Jannet se zyad wo muje sab kaam mein madat suggestions de thi .. ab usse miss karti hoon.. lekin I am very happy for both of you !!
Ruby's Mother : Bilkul sahi kaha Mrs. Williams... Zoya ki hum sab ko mehsoos ho rahi hain...
Asad felt very proud of Zoya hearing about her from her friend's parents... Cake and Wine was served... Followed by dinner... When the music began, Zoya knew that her akdu will not be comfortable to dance in front of others but taking her by surprise, he took her hands and led her to the dance floor... to enjoy evening as per her dreams... which he wanted to fulfill in all possible ways...
The END
