Part 3
Zoya was too shocked after hearing about the chaos that happened on asad's engagement day. She never expected that tanveer had hidden an evil face behind her sweet face. She was polite,sweet & a perfect women material just like asad's concept. Even though zoya was jealous of asad's closeness to tanveer but she had respected tanveer a lot for her maturity. She too accepted that tanveer is perfect in asad's life than her. Even tough it was painful she had cope up with that fact. But now after realising her truth zoya's heart ached for her phupi who wanted to see her son getting married & settled down in life. Her heart also felt pain for asad who had trusted his only bestie blindly & was ready to accept her in his life.
Zoya was too shattered with the truth. During dinner also she was unnaturally silent. After coming back from Bhopal even tough zoya was too low she never showed it out. She pretended to be the real zoya who is full of life. But now she was too shaken. Every one could feel zoya's turmoil.
In balcony
Zoya was not able to sleep. She went & sat in the balcony for some peace of mind. Even asad was not able to sleep. He was feeling so hurt after seeing zoya's condition. He was too wrong by not listening to his heart. Just because she were modern cloths & her messy nature he declared her as a misfit & preferred a witch in his life. He came to out of his room & he saw zoya sitting in the balcony. He remembered there old times. When ever any one of them is sad they will sit together with a coffee in the balcony and share there problems with each other. He went down to kitchen to prepare coffee for them. Sweet & milky coffee for her & black & bitter coffee for him. He went with that towards balcony.
Zoya was lost in her own thoughts.
Asad: coffee.
Zoya woke up from her thoughts. She saw asad standing in front of her with a cup of coffee. She smiled & took the coffee mug from him. She slowly sipped the coffee.
Zoya: are you ok mr.khan I mean tanveer?
Asad: I was too shocked zoya. I never expected my best friend has a hidden face of a witch behind her sweetness. I trusted her so much.
Zoya: even I am shocked mr.khan
Asad: you know what zoya you were so correct.
Zoya: ji?
Asad: it's too wrong to judge a person on seeing there dressing. Tanveer always were salwar suit with her head covering with pallu. Just like I want to see a women. She was polite,sweet & mature. But even in my wild dreams I expected that she will go with any rich man for money, she became pregnant without getting married & just because of that she was trying to trap me. I was so wrong zoya.
Zoya: nahi mr.khan, you didn't do any thing wrong. You were so loyal to your best friend & trusted her blindly. You just wanted the best for you & your family. It's not your fault that she turned out to be a devil. So please don't blame yourself.
Asad: no zoya I have hurt you a lot. I have insulted you just because you were jeans. Even after knowing my feelings for you I preferred to stay away from you just because you are modern & carefree. I even declared you as a misfit.
Zoya: no mr.khan. You didn't do anything wrong. Every one wants a perfect life. You preferred tanveer over me only because of that mr.khan.
Asad: no one is perfect zoya. It took a long time for me to realise that. I always had feelings for you. Because of my insecurities I preferred to stay away from you. Just because of my stupid ideologies I let you go & choose a wrong person in my life. I know a sorry is just not enough for the pain I caused you. I have confessed my feelings for you due to Bhanga effect, ever after remembering, it was so foolish of me to stay away from my feelings. I always loved you zoya. When you left to New York I was really missing you. Even after agreeing for ammi's wish I was feeling so wrong. May be Allah might have seen it & helped me on time. I came here to take you back in my life zoya. We all want you back. I can't live without you zoya. I love you zoya.
No doubt zoya was shocked by asad's confession.
Zoya: I wanted to here these words from you few days back. But now after coming back I have cope up with the fact that I am a misfit in your life.
Asad: zoya please, it was my foolishness
Zoya: no mr.khan. Even after knowing your feelings for me you preferred tanveer in your life only because you know that I can't be a perfect wife nor a perfect dil. I am not blaming you. It's a fact that I can't be perfect in anyone's life. Even phupi selected a person like tanveer for you. So it's better for us to stay apart. You are now affected by tanveer's truth. That's why you are making a decision like this. I can never change mr.khan. I will be always messy, immature & noisy. I always were jeans & tops. After nikkah you will feel it was wrong. So it's better for us to stay away. Nikkah is not a game, it's a lifetime promise. I don't have any sort of anger towards you mr.khan. You will be always special for me. Good night mr.khan.
Zoya left to her room. Asad was too shocked. It was his foolishness to stay away from her & declare her as a misfit. Now she herself accepted it & making herself so inferior.
Asad murmured: zoya you are not a misfit. It was my foolishness. I will not make you feel inferior of yourself. I will take you back home as my wife.
