Part 16
Gaffour was too shocked. Tanveer's words rang inside his mind. ' zoya is his long lost daughter.' He has always insulted her. His own daughter whom he was eagerly waiting for past 17 yrs. he closed his eyes. His own life came in front of him. Gafoour Ahmed siddiqi was born in a middle class traditional family. He was an excellent student. His dreams was to become a big business tycoon. He had passed MS in electronics with good marks.With his hard work he managed to get a scholarship in New York university for MBA. 25 yrs back he went to New York to as a first step in aspiring his dreams. There he met zainab who is doing GNM ( General nursing & midwifery). They met in the bus. She was a simple girl with strong mind. That's what attracted him. They both fall in love soon. On that 3 yrs of college they both used to met in the same bus which lead to both of there colleges. She was a good musician. Once she made a music tone which he had promised that he will transfer it in there future generation. He only knew she had lost her family in a natural calamity & she stays with her elder sister & brother in law. He promised her that once he settle down he will go & meet them & ask her hand from them. After 3 years when he finished his studies he joined a private firm there. He has one year bond in the company & they provided him a one room apartment. Around that time zainab too finished her GNM & joined a hospital with 4 years bond. During that one year they both roamed entire New York. Close to the ending of his bond he informed zainab that he wants to meet her family. She spoke with her API & jiju they too wanted to meet him. He had planned to talk with his parents about zainab & there nikkah. Zainab informed him that her family wanted to meet him & his family & fix there nikkah. Both were too happy. It was that day they both crossed there limits. Coming from a traditional family he was always in his limits with zainab even after falling in love for almost 4 yrs. they became one in all means. But fate played it's game by bringing next day a telegram saying that his ammi is really sick & any thing can happen to her. He sadly left her saying that he will come back after getting there permission for there nikkah & will definitely meet her API & jiju. With tears in his eyes he left to Bhopal. When he came back to Bhopal he was shocked to find his ammi in a serious condition & as her last wish she asked him to marry razia who had helped her when she was ill. He had no other go. He has to obey his ammi. With a heavy heart he agreed & married her. With his savings he had started a small construction business. Rashid was his partner. At first he stayed away from razia due to zainab's memories. But eventually he accepted her. It was at that time his cousin sister shireen came to his house. She was almost 3 months pregnant. She informed him that she was in relationship with rashid & she delivered a son. But she came to know about rashid being married & father of a 6 yr old kid. So she broke up with him & gave her son Ayaan to him & came to his house. She pleaded him to give a place where she can stay away from rashid. Even today he doesn't know how rashid & shireen had a relationship. He very well knows that rashid loves his wife dilshad very much. He can't purposefully cheat her. But he helped shireen. He was happy when razia became pregnant with his child. It was that time he met iman sheik & he took the contract of building his gudiya factory. Almost when gudiya factory was build he brought his family to Bhopal. He had got a bungalow for them. Razia delivered a baby girl. He always wanted a girl child. A princess. He celebrated it by distributing sweets. It was then he met zainab accidentally in gudiya factory. They both were shocked to see after long 4 yrs. he came to know that she is iman sheik's sister in law. Zainab was totally broken to find out he had married & a girl child has been born to him recently. She was still waiting for him. She revealed that after 2 months he left back to India she find out that she is pregnant with his kid & she did try to contact him through letters. She had delivered his daughter & she is now 3 yrs old. Not in her dreams she thought that gaffour will marry someone else. She thought that he was in some trouble that's why he didn't return. He tried to console her. But she blasted on him. She was waiting for him with his daughter. She didn't even name there kid waiting for him. She claimed that he had cheated both her & razia. She was adamant that razia should know the truth & let her decide after that. He pleaded to her that he wants to see his daughter. After a lot of persuation she agreed. She had called razia & gaffour that day evening to gudiya factory. 17 yrs back he still remember that evening. Zainab asked to go & meet his daughter who was playing in one side of factory. It was the first time he saw his daughter. She was in a red & black frock. With her curly hair & innocent eyes she looks like an angel. He caressed her & gifted her a music box in which zainab's music tone was there which he had promised to pass in future generation. While he was lost in his daughter he heard zainab's cry. He was shocked to find out razia stabbing zainab to death. Razia was in psychic mood. She blackmailed him to use rashid to cover up the murder. He had no other go he had to agree for the sake of his kids. Razia always noticed rashid's hard work & knowledge in business. After knowing about shireen's relation with rashid he was pressurising him to conduct there nikkah. But he never listened to her. But fate made razia to use rashid as her pawn. He was helpless. It was almost when the building had set fire he remembered about his daughter. He ran inside the building & saved his daughter who was almost started to be eaten by the fire. But when he came out he saw razia's evil face. If he didn't allow to sent his daughter to an orphanage she will kill her just like the way she killed zainab. He had to agree. He can't loose his daughter. It was razia who sent his daughter to an orphanage. He did try his level best to find out her. But all went vain. After that incident he had completely changed into a heartless man. He had covered up his lovers death & sent his own daughter to an orphanage. How can he be normal after that? He rudely separated rashid & dilshad. He made rashid to marry shireen forcefully. Long 17 yrs he always remembered that fateful day. He always wanted to meet his long lost daughter. He still remembered his first meeting with zoya. She pleaded him to trust her that she had not done any thing to Humeira. Somewhere in heart he wanted to believe her but circumstances made him to hate her. She was the one who wished him eid Mubarak first. He was almost about to bless her. How unlucky father he was? His own daughter asked him to give to his identity to her as her eidi.But fate throwed away that opportunity from his hand. Fate again brought her in front of him through an invalid nikkah, even after she stayed in sm for ten days he was not able to recognise her. He had only insulted her. Fate had slapped him by making her as dilshad's son asad's wife whose life he had spoiled. He knew asad & zoya loves each other truly & got married even after fighting with destiny. If he reveal truth to them it will only spoil zoya's life. Even after knowing zoya is his daughter he can't accept her. He had lost his true love but he can't allow zoya to loose her true love because of him. He felt is as a punishment given by Allah to what all he had done to zainab & zoya.
He made all the arrangements to criminate tanveer. He left back to sm. He was too shattered after facing truth. Zoya's face was haunting him.
Next day
Asad & zoya was too busy that day since they have returned back after one week. They had so many works in office. Zoya wanted to meet dilshad & give her the stuffs she had got for her. She had also got stuffs for Humeira, nuzzat,badi bee & rashid. She asked permission from asad to go & meet dilshad. Asad also wanted to meet dilshad. But he didn't want to enter sm. But he gave permission to zoya to meet dilshad. Almost after 3 she went to sm. Dilshad was happy to see her Bahu. She gifted her all the stuffs she had got for her & rashid. Badi bee to joined them. She showed the photos & videos they have taken in New York. Dilshad was feeling so happy for her son & Bahu. Zoya connected asad through Skype & made him chat with dilshad. When Humeira & nuzzat arrived she joined them leaving the mom & son for privacy. Gaffour had not gone any where that day. He was too shattered since yesterday after facing truth. Through wasim ( servant) he came to know about zoya's arrival. He couldn't control his mind. He went towards humeira's room & saw zoya from outside near window. He remembered seeing her as a 3 yr old kid last 17 yrs back. His eyes were filled with tears. She has grown up as a young beautiful girl. He was enjoying the site of zoya & Humeira sitting together & chatting. If some one sees them from outside they will think them as sisters. They both have resemblance. After spending few time with them zoya planned to go back. But she was stopped by razia.
Razia: why are here? You have spoiled my humeira's life. Isn't that enough for you?
Zoya: just stop your non sense. I have not spoiled humeira's life. The fact is that you people used me for nikhat's sake. May be Allah Miya heard my prayers & he sent advocate sundar Mehta to prove my innocence. And why are you putting the blame of spoiling humeira's life on me over & over again. It's not me you are the person responsible for that. In order to cover your crime you entertained a criminal named vikram even after knowing his intentions. Because of that he came to take revenge from Ayaan & Humeira which landed every one in to a big trouble. If I want I can shout this truth in front of Humeira but I won't do that. I am not that cheap like you. So remember this here after blaming me.
Razia was too shocked. It was like zoya has slapped her using words. Unknown to them haider was listening to this. He had a smirk on his face.
Note: I remember razia saying to badi bee that gaffour & zainab loved each other when they were studying abroad & wanted to marry but after studies he came back & married razia. She was shocked to see zainab & zoya. Few things I QH is still mess. Even 17 yrs before rashid cheated dilshad because Ayaan & zoya is of same age. No one knows nikhat's & humeira's birth. So I guessed a few things. Past 2 months I am not watching QH so I don't know what's going on in show now. So I apologise if I made any mistake.
