Part 4
It was asad who accompanied zoya to the railway station. Usually it will be anze & Humeira who drops her to the railway station. But today anwer gave permission for asad to drop her in railway station. They both were holding hands & sitting inside the metro rail. They both couldn't believe that they were successful to convince zoya's family.
Zoya: asad
Asad: hmm
Zoya: your family will accept me na?
Asad: ha zoya. They will really like you. Only 2 more years left after that you will be mine.
After completing one more month of internship asad concentrated completely on his final exams. Asad & zoya was in touch with there daily video chatting. Since now anwer & zeenat knows about asad & zoya Humeira started teasing him in public. She never leaves any chance to pull his legs. After all she is his saali who has the complete right to pull jiju's legs.
Asad did his exams well. After finishing his exams he was sad. He is going to leave this house. Zoya's house where he stayed for past 2 yrs. zoya's family who has accepted him as there family.
Asad promised that he will be in touch. Humeira was the most saddest person. After all he is a brother figure & a friend to her. He consoled her & asked her to concentrate on her studies. He also promised to anwer & zeenat that he will convince & bring his family to ask zoya's hands.
In Bhopal
Asad's family happily welcomed him. After 7 yrs he is going to stay back with his family. Rashid was really happy that now asad can join dilshad constructions. Even though he & gaffour is there as head, asad being trained in architecture will be helpful for them. Farhaan is the GM & Imran is the technical department head.
Asad's family wanted to conduct najran & farnik nikkah. Najma & NikhAt has completed there graduation. But both the girls wanted to go for pg.
Gaffour was absolutely against for sending girls for pg. He wanted to conduct nikkah ASAP. He also added that they should conduct asad's nikkah also.
Asad denied as he wanted to concentrate on business at the moment. He also supported najma & NikhAt to continue there pg. Farhaan & Imran too had asad's opinion. So finally rashid & dilshad accepted asad's opinion & also convinced razia & gaffour to send the girls for pg.
Asad had joined dilshad constructions. He started understanding the business. Everyone was impressed by his work.
During one of his skype chat he informed zoya that najma joined for Mcom & NikhAt for MSc. since they want to concentrate on studies there nikkah will only after 2 yrs. so they too has correct amount of time.
Asad was also in touch with zoya's family.
As days were passing asad was completely concentrating on his business & zoya on her studies. Asad's style of work & his honesty was well appreciated. Asad did get few proposals but he kept on denying saying that it's not apt time. But he didn't reveal about zoya. He was waiting for her to complete her course.
One and a half year later
Asad had completely taken over dilshad constructions. Rashid & gaffour had happily made asad the MD & they are in the board directors.
Zoya is now in her final year. She has to give her final exams after 4 months. Before her final exams she has to do her internship in a firm for 3 months.
Asad had asked her to apply her internship in dilshad construction.
Zoya was confused how is he making her to meet his family as an intern. But asad had already planned it. After approving her internship as the MD of dilshad constructions he planned to present about his & zoya's matter Infront of the family before zoya's arrival.
One such night in KV during dinner time
Everyone had gathered to have dinner. Everyone was planning farnik & najran's nikkah after 5 months since the girls are completing there pg. The elders wanted to conduct asad's nikkah also along with them. Asad knew this is the apt situation.
Asad: ammi I am ready for the nikkah. It's correct time to settle down. After all I am 26 yrs.
Dilshad: Khudha ka shukhr hai Bhabhi we will select some girls & let him choose
Razia: ha dilshad
Asad: ammi I love a girl & I was waiting for her to complete her graduation.
Rashid: who is the girl?
Asad: she was my junior in my college. When I was in my final yr B.arch she was a fresher. First we became friends then eventually we fell in love.
Dilshad: what's her name?
Asad: zoya naizam
Gaffour: a South Indian?
Asad: ji! She is from Hyderabad
Gaffour: have you lost your mind? How can you marry a South Indian girl?
Asad: what's wrong in it? I love her & she loves me.
Razia: love is not enough beta. Even if we agree her parents won't agree.
Asad: mumani I had already convinced her family. I had stayed in her house in Hyderabad. Till I gave my last exams I didn't reveal our relation to them. When we confessed they were hesitant a bit at first eventually they agreed for zoya's happiness. But they want everything in a proper way. They want you guys to accept zoya first & then ask her hand from them as per ritual.
Razia: but what's the guarantee that she will adjust with us.
Asad: I have a solution mumani. Zoya has to do her internship before her final exam. I have asked her to do it in our firm. So next 3 months zoya will be in Bhopal. Let her stay with us. So you can see whether she will adjust or not.
Gaffour: ye kya tareeka hai asad?
Rashid: bhaijaan let her come & stay with us. I never thought my son will fall in love one day. For almost 4 yrs these people are in a long distance relationship & asad had gone all the way to Hyderabad to convince zoya's parents. So they are pretty serious. I have trust in my son. He won't fall for a wrong girl.
So it was decided. Zoya will work in dilshad constructions for next 3 months & stay in KV.
After the dinner najma, NikhAt, farhaan & Imran surrounded asad & wanted to hear there love story. He told them what had happened & showed them zoya's photograph.
Every one liked zoya. She is really pretty & will make a perfect match for there bhaijaan. They all wanted to meet zoya during the skype chat but asad denied. Skype chatting is there personal time. Asad used to wonder what they would have done if cellphones & laptops were not invented.
During the skype chat asad informed the development. Zoya was really nervous after hearing that she had to stay in KV for the next 3 months. She was sure that her parents will never allow her to stay in KV before marriage. She shared it with asad also. Asad convinced her by saying that he will make them to understand & get there permission.
Next day asad spoke with anwer & zeenat. As expected being a conservative parents they were not agreeing. But asad made them realised that only by that way his family can know about zoya. Finally they had to agree.
Within a week all the formalities of internship has been done in the college & on tenth day zoya arrived on Bhopal railway station. Bhopal city of lakes. The same city were her love had born & brought up. Asad was waiting for her in the station.
After long 20 months they are meeting each other. They both hugged each other for a long time.
Zoya was in red salwar top & blue patiala with red & blue dupatta.
Zoya was admiring Bhopal city on the way to KV. Asad had already informed zoya that his siblings really liked her & they are eagerly waiting for her. So her nervousness was bit reduced.
Once she reached KV she was admiring the mansion. All the ladies were waiting in the hall to meet zoya. Once entered inside zoya wished them. Everyone could see zoya is really a cool person. Najma, NikhAt & dilshad really liked her as she is really pretty & make an excellent pair. She is polite also. But razia still couldn't digest the fact that asad is in love with a South Indian girl. That too she is not from a rich family. But razia couldn't blame asad, zoya is extremely pretty & no one will say she is a South Indian girl.
Zoya was given the guest room. It was dilshad who took her inside the room.
Dilshad: beta this is your room. If you need anything you can feel free & ask.
Zoya: if you don't mind can I call you phupi?
Dilshad: sure beta.
Once zoya freshen up najma & NikhAt joined her. Within no time all the three girls bonded very well. Zoya along with najma & NikhAt went to kitchen.
Dilshad: zoya beta you must be tired. Go & take rest
Zoya: no phupi. I am fine. I also will help you guys.
Razia: zoya you know cooking? You are in hostel for past 5 yrs?
Zoya: ha mumani I was in hostel for past 5 yrs but when I became 15 yrs of age my ammi taught me cooking & other household works.
Razia: but zoya you will know only South Indian dishes rt? We are not used to have South Indian food?
Zoya: actually I know very well to prepare North Indian food also. Since I was born & bought up in Hyderabad, there North Indian food is common.
Razia was feeling defeated. She was just trying to taunt zoya by showing her the differences but this girl is really clever than she thought. She should handle her with care. She saw how NikhAt,najma & dilshad has become friendly with her in a day. It seems like she know them for a long time.
Evening when rashid & gaffour arrived zoya greeted them politely. Rashid was actually impressed in asad's selection. Zoya & asad will make a great pair.
Along with the girls Imran & farhaan too joined. Asad was not suprised by seeing zoya close with his siblings. It was indeed in her nature. Her bubbly nature can make any one friendly with her soon. Infact this nature of zoya has always attracted asad.
After dinner asad & zoya casually wished good night & returned to there room. Usually they both are used for long skype chats. Since zoya is in KV asad wanted to spent sometime with her. But zoya didn't want the elders to feel that they both are misusing the freedom given to them. So zoya asked asad to come on skype as usual.
Asad was happy to learn that zoya really liked his family & she has started enjoying her stay in KV. Since zoya has to join next day as an intern in DC both slept early.
Next day morning
Zoya got ready in formal black denim stretch pants & white shirt along with black blazer. When she came out all the youngsters was parsing her as she is looking like a typical businesswomen. Asad was admiring her in the new look.
Gaffour: what's this zoya? A girl from this house can't were this type of dress.
Zoya: uncle how can I were casuals in office?
Rashid: bhaijaan she is correct. In office everyone will were official dresses only. She can't were salwar suit. If she alone goes in casual dress we have to give explanation to others who work there. She is wearing official dress only nothing is wrong in it. If guys from our house can were modern dresses then why can't girls were?
Gaffour was tounge tied. Zoya went along with them. Asad was feeling embarrassed by his uncle. Zoya could realise this so she messaged him.
' asad I didn't feel bad at all. After all he is your mamujaan. If he asked me not to were this kind of cloths that only means that he started accepting me. After all they are elders. They have full right on us.'
Asad was relieved by seeing zoya's message. He wondered how she sees positivity in each thing.
After the formal introduction, the interns were divided in to teams & was given instructions about what all work they have to do. Both asad & zoya was busy. So they both didn't meet each other in the office. I fact zoya didn't meet anyone. She was attending the training classes.
Towards the end of the day zoya was literally tired. Zoya knew asad & others will come late only. So in the evening zoya returned to KV in bus. It become almost night when asad & other males returned. During dinner zoya shared that she liked the training classes. Asad was happy that she is comfortable.
For the next few days zoya was busy with the classes. Zoya & asad never met each other in office. It had been a week since zoya joined DC. Her classes had come to end. Every one was given separate cabin & from next week they have work on new project & assignment.
Zoya has become really close to everyone except gaffour & razia. Even rashid was friendly with her. Gaffour was in double mind. He know zoya is a good girl but at the same time his mind was registering the fact that she is from another state & if asad marry her there reputation in the society will be affected. Razia never wanted zoya to be the dil of KV.
Asad & zoya was in touch with anwer & zeenat regularly. They were happy to learn that zoya really liked asad's family & so far they are doing well.
That weekend with the elders permission all the youngsters went for outing. Since zoya was new to Bhopal they took her to main places in Bhopal. Everyone had a great time together.
Zoya has started concentrating on her project & also on her studies. Even tough asad & zoya was near they couldn't spend anytime alone. One main thing is asad's family. They both didn't want the family to have a wrong impression on them & zoya has to give her final exams also. As said lovers can bare separation but can't bare the distance when they are near. Even tough through skype asya used to share everything, they still was sad to maintain the distance even being near.
Zoya had become the part of family. Her carefree nature & innocence has attracted everyone. Only gaffour & razia was formal to her the others accepted her as there own family. On one day zoya made hyderbadi dum biriyani which was one of the most famous Hyderabad dish. Everyone liked it very much. According to everyone's request zoya started making South Indian dishes on weekends.
Zoya, najma & NikhAt has become so close in these days. Zoya realised that both najma & NikhAt wanted to work after there pg. She also knew that farhaan & Imran are not against it. Only gaffour & razia has the problem. They both didn't like there future dil go to work. Through asad she knew that both of them didn't want NikNU to do pg. But after a lot of pressure they had agreed to sent them for pg. She know it's a tough job.
On one night dinner time in KV
Zoya: uncle both najma & NikhAt are finishing there pg in next 4 months na?
Rashid: ha beta
Zoya: so are they joining DC after the pg.
Gaffour: no way. I never wanted to sent them for pg. But I agreed for there happiness. After pg we conduct there nikkah. I don't want my dil to go for job.
Zoya: uncle NikhAt & najma are not only your would be dil but also your niece. NikhAt has done msc in interior designing & najma has done Mcom. If guys from this house can join the business then why can't girls? Society has changed. Now a days women are in politics also. A women is capable of looking after both family & her job. So why is the partiality between girls & boys?
Zoya has made a valid point. Gaffour was actually trapped by zoya, zoya had bought the equality between boys & girls. If he didn't agree it will be like he is showing partiality between asad & the girls. So finally he agreed. If NikhAt & najma wishes to join DC then he had no objection.
Both rashid & dilshad admired the way zoya used to mollify gaffour. They both were trying for this for a long time but failed miserably.
After dinner.
Asad had called zoya to met in the lawn. She came & sat in the bench next to him.
Asad: thanks zoya
Zoya: for what?
Asad: for pacifying mamujaan.
Zoya: actually there is no need for that. NikhAt & najma are my BFF. So it's my duty.
Asad will they agree for our nikkah?
Asad: everyone likes you here.
Zoya: I know. But it's till different when it comes about nikkah.
Asad knew zoya has a point.
It has been almost one & half month since zoya had joined DC. She was doing well during her internship period. Rashid was well impressed by the remarks sent by the concern authorities about zoya.
When they came back from the office from NikhAt & najma zoya came to know that this weekend there is a small function as it is rashid's & dilshad's 27 th wedding anniversary.
One of there distant relative haseena qureshi who runs a company of event management is in charge for decoration.
Seeing zoya haseena bee asked: dilshad bee who is this beautiful girl?
Razia: yeh zoya naizam, she was a junior in asad's college. She doing internship in DC. And asad wants to marry her.
Haseena: ya Allah, yeh toh South Indian hai. Phir bhi gori hai. Can't blame asad, she is pretty. Beta how old are you?
Zoya: 22 yrs.
Haseena: oh you are same age of najma & NikhAt. This South Indian girls marrying North Indian guy is so common. Film actress Sri Devi & hema Malni who are South Indians are married to famous North Indians. This beautiful South Indian girls are really talented to tame rich North Indian guys.
Zoya was feeling so hurt hearing her.
Dilshad: haseena bee do you think my son asad is a fool to go & fell in any girls trap? If asad has selected zoya that only means that zoya has all the qualities we want in our dil. If we have accepted zoya then no one should have a problem in that. I won't allow any one to bash khan families dil.
Zoya was feeling so happy. Finally she has been accepted by khan family.
Dilshad: aur haseena bee we all are Indians so there is no need to discriminate between South, North, East & west.
Haseena bee has been tounge tied.
Zoya encouraged najma & NikhAt to dance during the function. Imran & farhaan also agreed with her. Since it's a small family function elders didn't interfere much & gave youngsters full freedom. So every one was happy.
Haseena bee: razia najma dancing is ok but NikhAt, she is too dark. I know NikhAt & najma are twins but they are so different from each other. Najma is fair but NikhAt is dark. Give her some fairness creams before nikkah otherwise she will be so ugly on her wedding day.
Razia: ha haseena I will speak with her.
NikhAt heard there conversation. She was so hurt. She ran away from there crying. Zoya saw this & she got so angry.
Zoya: haseena bee how can you talk to her like that? You are her Khala. You have to support her. Instead of that you are making her feel inferior. NikhAt is really good looking. It doesn't matter whether she is dark or fair. On top of that she dances well & she is an interior designer. Have you seen your face on the mirror. And you mumani, you are not only her future mil but also her mumani. How can you speak about her like that? I am sorry if I sound rude to you. I know you are elders but still I couldn't stand against NikhAt.
Every one came to know about this. The entire family was feeling proud of zoya especially gaffour. He was actually impressed by zoya. He never liked haseena bee. But razia never listens. It was first time in life who stood against haseena bee.
Zoya was with NikhAt.
Zoya: NikhAt you shouldn't be this sensitive. If you started reacting like this people will be insulting you. You should stand confidently & say back that Atleast I have a pretty face not like you who looks like a buffalo. Trust me NikhAt you are pretty. It's not necessary that you should be fair to look pretty. There so many women who won miss.universe award who belong to negroid race. So it's our confidence & talent that matters. You have such a big supportive family, a true loving fianc, you dances well & you are a good interior designer. So show that everyone accepts the way you are.
NikhAt was feeling much better.
Radil anniversary
Only few close family friends has attended the function. After cake cutting ceremony NikNU surprised there parents by a duet dance. Every one was stunt by seeing khan sisters. After the dance they were appreciated by the crowd. They were gifted with bunch of money by gaffour. Radil blessed them. They were extremely happy especially NikhAt as everyone appreciated her. She hugged zoya and thanked her.
Zoya then announced that rashid & dilshad will sing a duet song next.
Zoya: phupi you told me that you guys had participated in college day ceremony & used to sing. After marriage family business & other responsibilities you guys never had time. Please for your kids sing na please.
Finally they agreed. Asad was stunt to hear his parents singing talents. He knew they used to sing but never heard. He wondered why he didn't think the way zoya thought.
After Radil finished there was a huge round of applause. Asad & his sisters hugged there parents.
The dance floor was open for the couples along with farnik, najran Radil & Gazia was pulled to dance floor.
Slowly asya skipped from there to lawn.
In the lawn
Asad hugged zoya. She too reciprocated it. After a long time they were spending time.
Asad: may I have the pleasure to dance with you zoya?
She smiled.
They both danced passionately.
As days passed zoya was concentrating on her project & studies. Everyone had accepted her as there dil including gaffour. But razia still couldn't digest.
It was the day when the interns presented there project. When zoya's turn came she did her presentation in a extra ordinary way which made every one to forget that she is a fresher. Everyone liked her ideas & her talent was well appreciated. Rashid was feeling proud. She was given the excellent remarks. Rashid announced zoya as his future dil. Gaffour blessed zoya. Every one congratulated the couple.
In the evening KV
Every one was with zoya listening to the events of the day. Razia alone was in kitchen. She was angry when she heard that rashid announced zoya as his dil & gaffour supporting it. She was not concentrating in her work.
Zoya just came to drink some water. It was then she noticed that razia's dupatta has got fired from the stove & she was lost in her own world. The fire had stared spreading.
Zoya ran fast towards razia & pulled out her dupatta & pushed her away to the other side.
Zoya fastly throwed water on the cloth & put down the fire. Every one came to kitchen hearing the noise. Razia was still shocked. If zoya had not bravely interfered what would have happened to her?
Everyone made razia & zoya to sit in room. They gave water to them. Razia had tears. She was thinking of throwing zoya away from KV but she saved her life today.
Razia went towards zoya & hugged her. She don't know whether to say thanks or sorry or both.
Zoya understood her emotions she just nodded in disagreement saying that there is no need to say thanks or sorry to her. Zoya too hugged her back.
So it was decided that asad & zoya will get married after one month when zoya finishes her exams. The khan talked with naizam's & informed that after zoya's exam one month later they will come to meet them I'm Hyderabad & they will conduct all the ceremonies there.
They also decided to conduct asya nikkah first in Hyderabad & then after that najran's & farnik's nikkah in Bhopal.
No doubt asya was in seventh heaven. Finally they have convinced there family. There love had won.
It was the first time in those 3 months zoya entered asad's room. Asad was happy to see his love standing in his room.
He dragged her towards him.
Asad: congratulations to be mrs.khan
He kissed on her lips.
Zoya: you too mr.khan
She too kissed him back.
