Part 13
Next day morning
Asad was adamant that zoya should play violin. He wants to hear her playing violin. He was a bit upset with zoya that even after knowing his interest in music she never revealed her talents. Just like punishment he asked her to play violin. Since her visit to India was like all of a sudden & mainly for vacation she didn't take violin with her at that time. After being in India zoya was determined to find about her past. So she didn't get time to get her violin with her at that time. It's after 5 months zoya is playing violin. Zoya took violin in her hands & sat down in the sofa near the bed. She started playing her all time favourite music, the music played by the music box which she had kept with her in the memory of her abbu. Zoya had closed her eyes & she was deeply involved in the music. That was same with asad. He too was lost in that music. When she finished playing asad opened his eyes only to find her sitting still with her closed eyes. There were tears flowing from her eyes. He understood that she was missing her abbu. He went towards her & hugged her. She felt so warm in his arms. He kissed her tears & murmed I love you. She smiled & sat like that for few minutes.
Zoya got ready & went to the kitchen to help her appi with breakfast. Asad was taking bath. Anwar was reading news paper. She wished her jiju & went to kitchen. Anze was glad to hear zoya playing violin. It's after so long they are hearing. They felt like there house had been filled with silence when zoya went to India. Now they are feeling so good. Both zeenat & zoya remembered there old times in kitchen & they were chit chatting in between.
Once the breakfast was ready both anze & asya sat together for breakfast. Anze informed asya that they have fixed there waliama on Wednesday eve in a public yacht. Zoya was elated. Anze asked asya to go out today for roaming & zeenat also insisted asya to get dresses of there own choice. Asya insisted anze to join them. But they politely rejected as they got leave only from Wednesday. Once anze left asya started getting ready. As usual asad got ready first. He was in blue jeans & black formal shirts. He has not inserted the shirt. Zoya wants him to be casual. He was loosing his patience. He went inside the room only to find zoya standing Infront of the mirror combing her hair. She was wearing her blue mini skirt & black with white print top. He was so stuck by seeing her in this out fit. She was looking so sexy & gorgeous in this out fit. But he didn't want any one else to see her like this. Only he has the right to see her like this. He can't even imagine another man seeing her & admiring her. He went towards her.
Zoya: mr.khan how am I looking?
Asad: you always look good. But please were something else. You can were jeans but not this skirt.
Zoya: oh come on mr.khan! This is New York not Bhopal everyone wears this kind of dresses.
Asad: it's not that zoya. I don't want any one else to see you like this.
Zoya: jealous mr.khan?
Asad: jealous my foot!
Zoya smiled & put his hands on his shoulders. Mr.khan no else will see me like this. No else have ever seen. I always wear this long jacket over it. Other wise in this climate I will freeze. Khush mr.khan!
Asad smiled. She hit her head with his forehead.
Since they are staying in manhattan first they decided to see manhattan first.
(Manhattan is the most densely populated borough and is home to Central Park and most of the city's skyscrapers. Most of the borough is on Manhattan Island, at the mouth of the Hudson River. Manhattan is the financial center of the city and contains the headquarters of many major corporations, the UN, a number of important universities, and many cultural attractions. Manhattan is loosely divided into Lower, Midtown, and Uptown regions. Uptown Manhattan is divided by Central Park into the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side, and above the park is Harlem. New York City's remaining four boroughs are collectively referred to as the "outer boroughs".)
Asya was holding there hands & walking in the streets of manhattan. Asad was admiring the architecture in New York which includes both Historical & modern. Asya did there shopping for waliama from there only. Zoya had selected few dresses for asad's sisters & humiera. She selected a clutch ( one kind of purse) & a hand bag for dilshad. Also woolen cloths for rashid & badi bee. She didn't forget to collect few chocolates for her tamater. Zoya was taking too long for shopping & asad was loosing his patience. He never goes for shopping. Not even with najma & dilshad. If he needs something he will ask them to get it for him or he will do online shopping.
Asad went towards zoya: mrs.khan do you even know what is the time? It's almost 3 o clock. I am dying out of hunger. We can carry on with shopping latter.
Zoya pouted hearing his words. But she stopped her shopping. They went to a pizza shop as per zoya's request. She wanted to have New York style pizza. She promised that they will have dinner in an Asian or Chinese restaurant. Asad agreed with her. Zoya ordered her all time favourite chicken pizza & she ordered garlic bread for asad as she knows he doesn't like pizza. But when pizza came she forcefully fed a pizza slice.
(New York City's food culture includes a variety of international cuisines influenced by the city's immigrant history. Central European and Italian immigrants have made the city famous for bagels, cheesecake, and New York-style pizza, while Chinese and other Asian restaurants, burger joints, trattorias, diners, and coffee shops are ubiquitous. Some 4,000 mobile food vendors licensed by the city, many immigrant-owned, have made Middle Eastern foods such as falafel and kebabs[256] popular examples of modern New York street food.)
Next asya visited metropolitan museum of art & they took roamed the entire museum & clicked ample of couple pictures. Next they visited Times Square. Asad was awestruck by the architecture & zoya tried to explain the details as much as she knows.
When It became evening zoya wanted asad to take her to Central Park. Once they were in Central Park zoya gave a desire look at asad. He did understood the meaning of it.
Asad: no zoya it's a public place.
Zoya: so what baby we are husband & wife & FYI we are in New York.
Before asad could protest zoya pulled him towards her & kissed his lips passionately. Asad was looking at zoya as if he is seeing her for the first time.
Zoya: I always wanted to kiss my husband in Central Park. I am so glad now.
Asad shook his head in disbelieve & murmured: besharam ladiki!
Zoya: sunliya mein ne you too mr.khan!
Since it's winter time there seasonal activities like ice skating. Zoya wanted to go for ice skating. But asad had never done skating in his life. So zoya helped him with the basics & he quickly grasped it. After all he is asad Ahmed khan. They both were skating in a minimum speed As asad is not used to it. After sometime they both were tried & they decided to stop it. But zoya was in naughty mood. She started throwing ice over asad. Even asad was also not so less. He too started. It continued till they both were exhausted. Asya was laughing there heart out reminding there antics. Seeing asad like this zoya had tears in her eyes. She always wanted to see this carefree asad. She hugged him & he too reciprocated.
After long skating zoya was really hungry. Asad thought of taking her to a restaurant but zoya wanted to have New York street food. Asad was not agreeing to it but when she made her puppy face he had to agree. Zoya took him to a street vendor who sells kababs & she was having it happily. It had become almost night & asya went to see Hudson River. The site was too beautiful at the night. Standing near the valley,
Asad : it's beautiful zoya just like you.
Zoya smiled at him & leaned on him & said : I love you asad!
Asad: me too. May I have the pleasure of dancing with you mrs. Khan?
They both slowly moved in each other's arms.
Since it had became really late zoya had informed API & jiju not to wait for them & they have dinner from outside. Asya went to a Chinese restaurant & had dinner. On the way back zoya was sleeping inside the car. Even when they reached back to the apartment she didn't wake up. Asad carried her in his arms. Anze was waiting for them. But seeing asya they had a smile on her face & they retired back to there room after wishing asad good night. Asad placed her on the bed. She was still sleeping. He went to washroom & changed into his night were. He slowly took out zoya's night dress & changed her dress & covered her in the blanket. He kissed her forehead & went to sleep.
Next day
Asya planned to visit Bronx & Brooklyn. Zoya asked asad not to take jiju's car like yesterday. She wanted to travel in subway. Once they entered subway asad was checking his mails in zoya's iPad. Zoya was getting so bored. It seems like asad is not planning to come out from his work. Finally when she lost her patience she grabbed asad's collar & forcefully kissed him. Asad was resisting but all went in vain. Once zoya left him he blasted over her.
Asad: what non sense zoya! I was trying for a video conference & camera was on. God alone knows whether Prasad saw us or not. There is limit for foolishness.
Zoya was hurt by his words. But she was also not in a mood to leve it.
Zoya: Allah Miya! What's wrong with you mr.khan. You are thinking about your workers. You always used to do all sort of this kind of non sense in your office. Now you are worried about them. Not at that time. You know what mr.khan you will never change.
Asad & zoya didn't speak after that. Asad was revealed by knowing that due to connection failure video conference was not working. He felt bad at shouting zoya. He tried to speak with her but she didn't care.
Even when they reached Bronx zoya didn't speak with asad. The hip hop form of dance have originated from Bronx. They first visited Yankee stadium. Once they left from there they planned to go to Bronx zoo - world's biggest metropolitan zoo. Asad had got ice cream for zoya & said sorry with a puppy face. Zoya smiled at his antics & she happily ate the ice cream. They visited the entire zoo & clicked as much as photos.
After lunch they decided to go to Brooklyn an island. On there way asad too kissed zoya as it was her one of the most stupidest romantic dream to be kissed by her husband in a subway. Brooklyn is well known for its architecture & no doubt asad was excited. They also visited the open food court area & queens also.
Asya planned to return back on dinner time as they wanted to spend some time with anze also.
Next day
As anze was on leave for the whole day they also tagged with asya. There waliama was conducted in a private yacht in New York harbour. So they visited many places near to it. Since the function is at 8 in the night they had ample of time. They visited near by museums, art galleries & parks near by. They had taken so many pictures along with anze. Before going to the yacht they did visited Statue of Liberty.
Since the private yacht belongs to a close friend of anwar they had arrangements for getting ready for the waliama. Zeenat was helping zoya to get ready. She had selected an yellow with green lehenga frock which covered her completely. Her hair was covered with green dupatta. She had worn a maang tikka & a big nose stud & earrings. He was looking like a tradional Indian bride. Zeenat had tears in her eyes.
Zoya: API why are you crying?
Zeenat: I can't believe my small zoya had grown up & now she is standing Infront of me as a grown up women.
Zoya: API aap itna filmy kyun hai?
Zeenat: baad mash
Anwar entered inside & said so correct zoya.
Zeenat: now you also support her. You only have spoiled her.
Anwar holded zoya & said : beti hai meri poora Haaq banta hai mujehy!
Anwar accompanied asad in the open area of yacht & made him sit in the centre. Zeenat brought zoya along with her. Asya was admiring each other. Asad was in a beige colour sherwani & zoya in yellow with green lehenga frock. They both were made to sit in the center. As guest started arriving asad noticed that 50% was Indians. Anze had arranged an excellent reception party for them. Asad was feeling guilty by hiding truth from them.
Asya was made to dance along with other couples. Even during dinner feast asad was confused about that should he confess about the truth or not? But he didn't show it out. If zoya notices his tension she will some how grabs the reason for his tension & she will not let him to reveal the truth.
After dinner one by one guest started leaving. When almost all have left anze gifted asya to spend a night In this private yacht. Zoya was in seventh heaven but asad couldn't take it anymore.
Asad: API jiju I want to inform you people that it had only been a week since me & zoya got married. Not 3 weeks back.
Anze & zoya was shocked by hearing this.
Note: I know this part was so stupid. I have never been to US so I don't know whether it was rubbish which I wrote. I apologise in advance if I made any mistake.
Some of you people have asked me about turnip tops, which zoya wore in flight gifted by asad. I tried to paste a picture but it was not getting uploaded. A turnip top is basically a shirt which covers the hip line & it consist of full of front buttons along with an attached cloth belt in it. It usually contains a collar & mostly it will 3/4 sleeves.
