CHAPTER 3

Here you go peeps..another update...I hope you like it...

(editing not done..so pardon!!)

Eyes wide shut!!

"A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it"-Michelangelo

Zoya are you sure??

Sure about what Humeira?

Zoya are you sure Rihaan is the one for you??

Humeira please not this again.I made a choice, and I am going to see it through.snapped Zoya, frustrated at being asked this question by her best friend and her father over and over again.

But Zo...

Stop Humeira or I'll put ur phone down aswell..I already spent the last 20 mintues listening to my dad rant about my chocies and how I am delibretly ruining my life and making choices that are against who I truly am.Now I don't need them from you...

Well he is right, but you wouldn't acknowledge that, and I have better things to do then get into a fight with you.Humeira sighed knowing very well, her friends resistance at facing the reality of her life. She had known Zoya all her life and had personally seen the conscious and unconscious changes that she had gone through.She had seen her best friend burn down the castles of her dreams and turn away from who she truly was in the inside. Humiera had seen Zoya running away from that girl, cos for her that girl was nothing but the painful reflection of her mother and her dreams that she had passed on to her. It pained Humeria to see her friend suffer, she didn't show it, or act it but Humeira knew better.Zoya was a broken hearted girl who needed, deserved and craved someone who would love her to the brink of his life and would never make a promise that he would break. Zoya needed someone who would stick around and reinstate her faith in love. Humeira wanted Zoya to turn back to her old self and learn to live again.She closed her eyes and offered a silent prayer wishing all that and more for Zoya. She wished Zoya to find her love, be it with Rihaan or someone else, and to never exprience the heartbreak she had had to go through.

Humeira...u there?? Asked Zoya...not hearing any sound for the past minute...

Yes I am here...I am not you, I don't hang up or threaten my friends with that...she replied a little to sacrcastically...and Zoya knew...Humeira was thinking about him...

Now why are you thinking about him huh???

Cos I don't want you to go through, what I had to go through with him. I want you to find your happiness Zoya..I want you to fight for it.And I want you to belive that love is meant for you,and you will find it. And it doesn't matter if Rihaan is not the one.You have the right to walk away Zoya, you can let him go if he is not the one...

Humzi...bas kar...this melodrama doesn't suit you...and stop with your love guru talks... ...you more of a lust guru...Zoya joked...trying to cheer Humeira up...Thinking about her Ex, the one tht got away, or rather the one she pushed away due to some petty, unreasonable issues she made up, just made her recede into her sulking shell.

You're rite girl..lets not talk about him, he is long gone and my current one is more than gracious in keeping me happy...if you knopw what I mean...

The girls laughed...the gloom fading away...

If only I was here...I would have never allowed you to fall.

Zo..you could have done nothing...it was meant to be...and when its meant to be...it happens..despite you trying otherwise...

O shut up...You know Zoya Farooqi can do anything...claimed Zoya...with utmost sincierity and confidence

Ya rite...Ms Farooqi...I can see that...she mocked...

What do you mean by that...questioned ZOya..

Well Ms FAROOQI if you can do anything...why don't you go change your last name to Mirza..and call yourself..Mrs Zoya Rihaan Mirza huh...

Zoya almost gagged on the water she was having hearing that name..It just made her feel uncomfortable, for some strange reason...

Uh...Whwhy..should I do that...I am very proud of my name ...and I want to keep it like that...Rihaan understands..and he has never ..

I know I know...your RIhaan is very accommodating...infact to a fault...I mean which guy doesn't want his wife to take his name...I mean how gay is he...I bet..Mr Hunky..Sexy...makes me wanna drool on him Ahmed Khan...would never like for his girl to not take his name...Imagine..How awesome would his name sound attached to yours...Haaii...

Zoya Asad Khan...her mind recited...and her senses awoke, frantically seeking his presence. They felt they were possessed by his name, and they liked the ownership...Zoya shivered inwardly as she acknowledged her thoughts...this was not happening...

You thought about it...didn't you...you added your name to his..didnt you...I knew it...I knew it...the ice princess has a crush on THE Mr Asad Ahmed Khan.Arre yeh to hona hi thaa...it was obvious...after the kiss..the hug..the boob flash...the kiss again..the office peep show...the life savig act...vagera vagera vagera...I mean who can resist all that...If I were in your place rite now...and I was getting no action from my newly wed husband from the past 2 months of marriage..I would seriously consider annulling the marriage and getting it on with Mr vaavaa voom Khan...Cos I can bet on my lucky dress ..that dude will be a god in the sack..I just know...Tell me Zoya...what kind of kisser was he...

He was just wow...I've never felt so much fire coursing through me ever...I mean...she replayed her first kiss with him and squirmed...her heartbeats were getting erratic...

It was hot, his lips...his touch..his smell..his presence..everything was so overpowering..so potent..so strong...It just possessed my being...and before I knew it..I surrendered...I Zoya Farooqi surrendered...to the kiss she herself initiated...I let go...and I let him take over...I wanted him to take over..to seduce me...She absentmindedly caressed her lips in an attempt to feel his lips on hers..Zoya was bedazzled in the memory...reliving it as she spoke out of awareness...But he didn't...he was resisting..and I didn't like it...I wanted him to kiss me..ravish me..but he refrained...You know...my leg popped when I kissed him...just like the way I imagined it to be..just like in the old movies...when the couple kiss...just like what I had wrote in my list...Zoya sighed...a smile taking over as her eyes continued to stare into nothing and her mouth kept talking...

Ahem Ahem...coughed Humeira...not bothering to contain the wide grin on her face...Her friend was smitten...Maybe more than smitten...Now she had no choice but to meet the guy that had managed to get through Zoya's invincible wall...even without trying.

I see I see...she said...barley containg her glee as she continued to listen to her friend...

Isnt that something..added Humeira...and snap...Zoya came back...and red she became...with emaressement...and anger and everything else...When it came to that man...Zoya never felt a singular emotion...He always managed to create conflict in her thoughts...

She couldn't believe what she had just said...and that made her angrier and angrier and angrier...

I guess I am putting the phone down..Call me in the morning before you board..alright?? Cya gal and don't forget to get my room ready...I'll be there in 3 weeks...and then god save New York...With that Humeria said goodby to a mum Zoya and disconnected the call...Now she had to get to New York and see for herself...the dynamics of Asad and Zoya.

~~

Zoya was furious by the time she was done her day..The verbal vomit, as she called the conversation with Humeira about her infamous kiss with Asad had just drove her wild...She literally made two of the interns cry, by snapping at them.She bullied the living daylights out of the IT staff for not being able to get her the information that she needed pertaining the supposed break in attempt into the company's financial database and rejected a very well made presentations on the spot even with bothering to look at the teams one month effort. Today Zoya Farooqi was making an active volcano look docile and the man responsible for it..Mr Asad Ahemd Khan, his presence and his thoughts..went about their day without an inkling of awareness of this happenstance.

Finally the day was over and she got to leave for Boston tomorrow.Finally a few days away from That overbearing jerk..

Picking up her bag she walked out of her office...only to bump into the supposed jerk...

OW...can your chest get any harder...she whined...rubbing her forhead and pushing herself away from the readiating heat of his body...Mr Khan watch where you're going and get out of my way...She tried pushing him away...her hands on his chest..when she heard his heartbeats...And she looked up..

His gaze met hers..and her heart stopped...

It wasn't me Ms Farooqi that was not looking..it was you...you were too busy fidgeting with your jacket...Anyways..I hope you have a pleasant trip to Boston and I hope all goes good.Now if you'll excuse me I need to grab a coffee..With that he broke the eyecontact and gently held her hands that lay flat on his chest, moving them away and started walking off..

Whatever Mr Khan she snapped...breathing in to compose herself...Go on and enjoy your coffee...and continue to ruin my life...

Excuse me...Asad turned around...

You heard me...you're not deaf now are you...she snapped again...

O for the love of god not again...muttered Asad..massaging his temples in frustration...

WHATEVER Mr Khan...You are such a...

Zoya..ready to go?? Interrupted Rihaan...

Suddenly out of nowhere...for no rhyme or reason...Zoya..grabbed Rihaan by his collar and kissed him hard...her eyes looking straight into Asad's as she did...

Thankfully the office was almost empty...except Ayaan who sat by his cubicle and stared...

FYI Mr Khan...my husband is a great kisser... and with that she walked away...grabbing a shocked and embaressed Rihaan's hand.

Stupid girl...slurred Asad as he continued to stare at Zoya's receeding Silhouette.

His eyes were blazing hot.He didn't like what had just happened.It didn't sit well with him, Zoya kissing him...that..guy...He was getting very angry...and he didn't know why...and saying his name was making him even more angrier...He couldn't justify his action.Why did it matter..why did it bother him.They were husband and wife, that was only natural between a couple.Then why..he couldn't help but picture Zoya kissing him... being intimate with him, and that made his blood boil...He didn't like that thought...

F**K he swore..as he closed his eyes and contained himself, walking to the lunch room for a much needed cup of coffee.

Ayaan who had witnessed the whole scene sat there confused.

~~

Ayaan was having a good day today.He was getting things done and he felt quite proud about it. He printed the notes he had created for Asad to look at and he was quite sure it would please Asad. He walked up to the printer and waited as all the pages printed, thinking about a few things that were going on. He couldn't help but think about Zoya.He couldn't deny his thoughts from thinking that he was alone in the office and he could easily sneak into her office and get what he wanted.This there was no chance of failure. There would be no interuptions and no ways for the plan to backfire. But doing so under his brother's nose would not be a wise decision.Last time he had not said much, but even then Ayaan was still mad at him.He had ruined his plans. On top of all this there was constanly a cloud of worry that loomed on his head. Ever since the supposed break in attempt into the financial database of the company, the It security had been bumped up.Everyone's moves were being closely monitored. Sh*t he swore..had it not been for the missing money thathad failed to stay hidden, things would have been a little different right now. Now he had to be extra careful when he hacked into the system.He could not afford to get caught.He had to get this done without a legal issue.

He heard Asad walking back and he grabbed the papers and walked upto him.Zoya's office and her computer could wait.he would get to it soon.As if now it was more important to get into his brother's good books.

Here you go bro...I hope this is all the information you need...There's a lot of stuff that we need to look into but I am sure we can manage...I was thinking to maybe start here. Ayaan pointed out something on the paper as Asad sipped his coffee and nodded..He was intently reading all the notes..

Well done Ayaan...this is great...I think it will help...How about we grab some dinner and get to it later?? Asked Asad

Sure bro we can do that...I just hope this is enough.

Ya it should be good. Lets go...

They both walked up to grab their stuff before leaving; closing the office behind them.

~~

Bro I am sorry for that day...you know sneaking into Zoya's office and all...apologized Ayaan as he continued to have his dinner..

Well I didn't expect that from you.I thought you knew better.I hired you cos I have faith in you, but I cant appreciate it when you go about messing things up. So next time please refrain from anything stupid. I don't want any more talks lingering in the hallway.

Done deal bro...as is I don't want to deal with that crazy Farooqi anymore...Boy she is so volatile...I don't know how and why you deal with her...

Well I don't have a choice...but I totally agree...she has a lot of fire...Asad's eyes had that distant look as he talked about Zoya.The image of her kissing Rihaan was still bothering him, but it was not his place to be bothered..so he tried to push that tought away and resume eating.

Btw Bro, if you don't mind me asking, why did Zoya tell you that his husband was a great kisser?? I mean why would it matter you you..Imean it just felt like she was trying to tell you that he kissed better than you.I mean how would she know, she has never kissed you...

Asad looked at Ayaan.His words clicked.Now it made sense...she was trying to do just that..She was trying to tell him that her Rihaan was a better kisser than him..

Ayaan noticed the array of emotions flicker in his brothers eyes

Wo bro...did you kiss her??? WOW...how...when...why... Is there something going on between the 2 of you??I mean I have felt the air around you and boy is it thick...I mean..its obvious..there's a storng attraction between the 2 of you... ...asked Ayaan utterly confused at his brothers demeanour

Asad looked up and swore under his breath. He couldn't believe he had gotten carried away in her thoughts once more...

It nothing like that Ayaan...just mind your own business...I cant even stand her...and above all she is married...and I don't care...now stop with the interrogation..and continue eating...we have stuff to do... retorted Asad, avoiding meeting Ayaan's gaze and focusing his attention on the chicken in his plate...

Ayaan resumed eating, but his thoughts kept going back.

~~

He was gald he was alone.He had made sure of that.Finally he placed his personal laptop on his desk and went to the filing cabinets. One by one he opened the drawers in search of something.Some personal information, some financial information and anything more he could find. He noted and took pictures of everything he could carefully putting things back in place. Now he pulled out a key from his pocket and entered her office. He didn't turn on the lights and relied on his cell phone flash.Carefully he opened a drawer and pulled out another key and walked up to the closet by the seating area. He had been keeping eye in the office and notcing everything he could.He was sure he would find it here...He opened the door and looked around.But it was empty. He couldn't believe it. That couldn't be possible...It was here, just in the afternoon when he was working with Zoya.And now it was not...Damn it...he was frustrated...He needed that information. Carefully he rummaged throught the drarwers in hopes of finding something else... A million thought coursed in his head as he looked for anything of importance. Thoughts of money played constantly in his head. How it brought the worst in a person. Money, money, money he murmered..People kill for money...people die for money...and people cannot live without money.

Zoya had a lot of money and that was the reason why he knew..she was going to die. It had happened before..and it was going to happen again. He wanted to but couldn't care...He had other plans...and she was just the bait that would take him to his goal...

Not finding anything he finally gave up.He put everything back in its rightful palce and walked out.He felt a little defeated as he sneaked out of the emergency exit. Closing his eyes as a single tear drop fell he walked out onto the bustling streets of New York and blended in with the crowd. He walked as his thoughts went back and forth..thinking about his past and his current present. He thought about the girl in his past, and now Zoya...and he felt sorry for her..He knew..her fate would only allow her so many days of happiness, only so many moments with her husband before the very life would be taken from her.And his shadow faded in the crowd..leaving behind the looming threat of extinction...

Confused..or more clear???😆...I wish I could let it out..but then wat would be the fun huh..so I guess u'll just have to go on reading...

Aashna.. that was cool update... Yep I understood that Zoya is rich and whoever is trying to murder her is after her money but it still leaves me confused as to who the culprit is.. Well that shows how awsome you have created the suspence...😊
