Part 5:
As the breakfast continues asad stealed glances at his beloved. She looked ethereal in the red and black outfit, and how she lighted up the table. She went on with her stupid sharaiyes and non sense talk with his tamatar.. he looked longing at the relationship these two shared. Breakfast is something he started looking forward nowdays.. he loved her antics... and he realized he loved everything about her nowdays. The things which used to irratiate him in th past.. suddenly looked interesting... he slighty shaked his head... OH MAN... LOVE DOES CHANGE PERSON.😳. and made his smile behind the table.
Zoya being the Miss sneaky.. observed him discreetly, and relieved and smiled acknowledging the change in asad. The way he stole glances at her , made her heart jump with joy.. she controlled herself for time being.. as all she wanted to that moment was sit in his lap and hug him.. and sleep in his shoulder.
As breakfast finished, he looked at her and signaled he will waiting for her. Zoya nodded at him, and informed the family that she is going out, and went to her room to collect her things. Asad waited for her in the car, as time passed by, she was 5 min late.. and he was getting restless. As soon as she sat in the car..
A: Miss F.. u r 5 min late...🥱
Zoya turned at look at him..
Z: Mr Khan.. can we go to skin doctor... before we go to library..
A: zoya.. is something wrong.. are u ok..
Z: see here.. Mr Khan.. I think this is something insect bite... she removed her hair to one side completely to show him his mark etched in her neck.. and in her heart..😆😆😆
Asad just saw his mark clearly.. and was just mesmerized by her white skin. And his hands moved in autopilot and caressed the marks with his hand..
The touch sent a shrill down zoya and she relished the touch.. and the love and lust in his eyes... she drowned in them..
Some movement outside, disturbed her and brought her back to earth, but still asad was in his heaven.
Z: Mr Khan.. what is that... does it looks big... she asked holding her laugh looking at his face.
A: hhhuuu
He quickly removed his car and started it zoya literally laughed out loud looking at him.. and his shyness..
Z: Mr Khan.. u have to tell me should I go to Doctor.. she asked battling her eyes..
A: No need for that.. and quickly changed the topic..
He asked her about the details she has collected yesterday, as they neared the library. As asad parked it , he walked with her and listened to the details she shared with him. Asad looked at the photo.. and thinking this might be her mom.. churned something inside his heart.. and he looked at zoya with a new found respect. He atleast had his mom... she had no one to call as her own.. yet to faced the challenges of the world.. and tried to light up the lives she has come across. But now she has me... I am her completely, as he saw her speaking animatedly with elderly librarian there.
Asad walked towards them and greeting the man with a hug as zoya looked up, he said he is spending the day with her in here.. and the afternoon they can contact raj about the documents. They went inside the library and looked thoroughly on the papers for 1995 around jan to may and they were able to come to some conclusion.
Gudiya factory was burnt around end of april.. and missing add was published at the end of april too. The factory was owned by riswan sheikh.. as they looked back, they could see that the factory was godown for dolls imported from abroad to be distributed inside.. as asad looked through the damage the newspaper explained he looked at zoya and said. This is kind of a big financial blow from which it takes high strength and struggle to come back.
That afternoon they met raj in the government office and he took them and looked to further records on the factory. They could see the owner was an NRI, with his native being MP.. he came back a year back and established the factory with his money and borrowed money from the bank for further investment, and he was able to show some success in the start, but the accident turned his life upside down, as the record showed that he had a heart attack at the end of the year, and his wife fell sick followed her husband, leaving behind a son, who was 10 year old, looked after by her grandmom in dubai.
Asad was feeling all the more guilty going through the details looking at a family decimated, and somehow Rashid was responsible. Zoya looked at him.. and she just kept her hands on her shoulder to provide the strength, and accepted it by holding it tight. But they couldn't find any connection about the missing woman.
Raj came inside and showed them the details of the files that have been shifted from the orphanage. The orphanage was burnt around july 1995. Asad and zoya looked at the details of the kids left one by one. Asad was searching and came across a file, which he looked like zoya.. and he called out zoya and they both looked at that together.
As they looked through, it was written a 5 year old female girl was left at early morning of april 20, with a music box and an amount of RS 25000 and a note was left saying look after my daughter... and it said the girl has burnt her left arm.. and asad looked zoya quizzically.. and zoya nodded at him and slowly pulled her chudithar up and showed the burnt marks.. asad was stunned to see that and unconciosuly his hand held her and puller her closer and slowly caressed the burns... and the caress cooled the burns that was there for a lifetime and bought solace to her heart.
He pulled her into a hug and whispered it is just a scar.. nothing else... she nodded in his arms, and their moment was disturbed as raj moved in saying it is time to leave, they separated and they moved out. As they moved towards the KV,... their thoughts lingered about the past and their heart heavy.
As they parted after dinner, zoya sat in her room with all the data and she charted all the dates in the could see her history and the factory history interwined...as she went to bed, and she had a dream.. only this time she saw her mom.. and she looked like the lady in the photo. Zoya woke up and she looked at her hand burn... and also the burn factory ...her intuition told her something.. which she was scared to believe. As she opened her ipad, and look at the mail she received from apurva with CC to asad. She looked through the details... the DNA result was there, and it also said she could be an American Descent Indian.. like 2 generation back... Things closed on zoya... she could do only one thing to confirm and she waited for the dawn... and as sun rised her thoughts came to a conclusion...
The breakfast was there... asad was there.. but zoya was just physically there.. and asad tried to get her look at him.. but she couldn't.. and she wouldn't...as asad has a important client meeting, he informed her and she nodded and she went out of her way to the hospital. With a DNA result, and she give her blood to run a test, for which she was sure of the result, and they informed her it will take 24 hours to come with the result, and promised the deliver the report tomorrow morning at Khan Villa...
