Forty Four
The atmosphere at the dinner table could easily have been sliced. Dilshad and Ramu served everyone breakfast as one by one everyone came down. 'Asad, where is Zoya?' Dilshad asked Asad looked up 'I think she will be down soon, I haven't seen her since last night'.
Tanveer came and stood behind the chair next to him 'Tanveer, please sit down' Tanveer was about to pull the chair out to sit next to him when Ayaan spoke 'Zoya sits there' Tanveer looked up to see him look at her with nothing but pure hate 'oh...I'm sorry, I didn't realise' Tanveer was about to move when she saw Zoya descend down the stairs 'but seeing that its empty now, I guess I can sit here...is that ok Aunty?' she said as she looked at Dilshad. Dilshad smiled at her 'yeah sure' she said gaining a not so happy look from her son.
Zoya walked up to the table and sat next to Ayaan, she looked up at Asad and then at Tanveer, who gave her what could only be described as an evil smirk. Zoya would have sat through the torment of sitting at the same table as her but Tanveer just had to go above board, she started serving Asad breakfast 'Leo, would you like more jam on your toast, I know how much you love jam' Tanveer was smiling a little too much as she served him. Zoya swallowed hard 'Ayaan, can you please drop me off to the studio?' 'Yeah sure'. Ayaan stood up and held his hand out for Zoya to take 'Asad, the driver is off today, can you please pick me up in the evening...I think you owe me an evening out' she said smiling at him. Asad stood up and walked around the table. Making the most of his parents not being around and wanting to reassure her he wrapped his arms around and hugged her lovingly, he kissed her forehead 'sure, I will see you soon'.
Asad and Zoya pulled apart as Najma continued to giggle at their open display of affection 'Tamatar...come on you can ride with us' Zoya said as she pulled her arm.
As the three of them left Asad turned around to see Tanveer seething with anger 'Ammi, I will need to leave soon too' he said as he saw Dilshad come back in 'Asad, you have a late start...please beta will you take Tanveer out, I already told her you would' Asad glared at her his face saying it all. Tanveer stood up 'oh thank you so much Leo, I really appreciate it...and Aunty how will I ever repay you for your kindness' 'its ok Tanveer, its only for a few more days'.
Tanveer looked at Asad and gave him a smile 'I know what you think of me Leo, but I have changed, I have learnt my lesson, please believe me...I really am so sorry' Asad let out an exasperated breath 'it's ok, let's go'.
Asad spoke to Dilshad as he waited for Tanveer. The problem was that his Ammi had a heart that was sometimes too good for its own good 'Asad beta, she needs help, and when have you ever been one to turn someone away...she will be gone by the end of the week it's only a few more days beta'.
Tanveer stood a few feet away listening to their conversation 'not so soon Aunty, not until I have what I want...it will be you who will put my hand in to your sons...then it will be Tanveer and Leo...only' she said to herself.
Zoya had been talking to Priya and Humera through the day, like her they were not happy with Tanveer being there, they didn't understand why Dilshad had allowed her to stay and they didn't trust her at all. Zoya busied herself as much as she could throughout the day, she was working hard on a number of songs with RJ and Lillie 'Zoya if you want you can head of early, I think we have done all we can for today...on Friday we are going to be visiting the filming studio to meet with the movie directors and the main choreographer' Zoya smiled at RJ 'thanks RJ, I look forward to it'.
Zoya called Asad to let him know that she would be finishing early but couldn't get hold of him; there was still an hour to when he was going to be coming to pick her up so she decided to wait.
A few moments later she received a call 'hello' 'hi Zoya, long time' came his voice. Zoya froze 'wh...what do you want...I know who you are and you won't get away with this...so if I were you I would stop right now' she shouted out. The sounds of his laughter annoyed her she was just about to cut the call when he said wait.
'Don't cut the call...I know you are waiting for Asad...but you see he is busy with his little friend...you don't believe me Zoya, go to the pizza caf and that's where you will find them'
Zoya started to look around, how did he know she was about to cut the call, feeling her heart race she tried to speak 'I don't care what you say...I know what you are trying to do...and if you think I am insecure because of that sorry excuse for a human then you are wrong'.
Not being able to take it anymore Zoya started to walk, she called for a taxi and told the driver to take her home but then she stopped 'sorry could you please take me towards the plaza first'.
The driver pulled up outside the pizza caf Zoya stepped outside and told the driver to wait for her. She walked closer to the caf and stood rooted as she saw Asad and Tanveer sitting inside having coffee. Zoya sucked in a painful breath, she didn't want to give in or believe what she saw or was told by this guy who she was sure was Farhaan.
Zoya got back in to the taxi and asked the driver to take her back to the studio, she was going to go and wait for Asad, he said he would pick her up and she was sure that he would, so what if he was having coffee with her, it didn't mean anything.
Zoya sat in reception and waited until half seven, she called Asad but was met by his voice mail. She continued to wait and wait but there was no sign of him, Zoya wasn't going to give up no matter what.
'Ammi is Zoya home?' Asad asked as he walked in with Tanveer in tow Ayaan stood up as did Dilshad 'Leo, you were supposed to pick her up over two hours ago...she isn't home...why didn't you go?' Asad looked at him then at Tanveer, he clenched his fist mentally kicking himself. 'I am so sorry Ayaan, it's all my fault, I mean Leo was helping me and I assured him that Zoya would be sensible enough to go home'.
Ayaan narrowed his eyes he gave her a glare before he turned to Asad, 'you know she can't come and go on her own, have you forgotten, did you even think to call her...where is your damn phone?' Asad searched for his phone in his pockets 'shit, I must have left it in the car...Ayaan please call her I am going to the studio'.
Asad ran out leaving a happy Tanveer swaying side to side 'I know what you are up to Tanveer, and exactly what you are doing here...but what you forget that to get to Leo you have to get through all of us...we won't let you win. Zoya and Leo will never fall victim of your pathetic intentions'. 'I honestly don't know what you are talking about Ayaan...anyway...you can think what you like it's not as if you will believe me'. Tanveer walked past Ayaan leaving him boiling with anger, he was damned if she or anyone came close to harming his brother and Zoya.
Zoya looked at her watch it was coming up to 9.30, she wiped her tears and picked up her bag, as much as she wanted to believe that he was going to come she knew that he wasn't. She walked outside and asked the watchman to get her a taxi.
'Zoya...Zoya' she heard her name being called out. Zoya turned around to find RJ running towards her 'hey what are you still doing her I thought you left hours ago?' 'I did...but then came back...' RJ knew something was wrong 'Zoya are you ok...you...I mean have you been crying?' Zoya shook her head 'no...its nothing just me being a little over sensitive that's all' 'look, it's quite late, do you want me to drop you off I don't mind' 'are you sure...I mean if I am not too out the way' 'no...actually your place is on the way to where I am heading...come lets go'.
Zoya sat in the car waiting for RJ to drive off as they turned into the main road from the other side Asad drove into the vicinity. He jumped out and looked around for her, he ran into the reception area 'sir can I help you?' the security officer called out 'yes, my name is Asad, I am here for Zoya' 'oh you have just missed her she left a few minutes ago' 'which way did she walk out?' 'No sir, not walk she left in a car'.
Asad started to panic, he called her phone 'Zoya where are you?' he shouted as soon as she answered the phone 'Asad, I am...' 'Hello...Zoya can you hear me...Zoya' he screamed out.
'Crap...' Zoya exclaimed 'what happened' 'that was Asad, and my blasted phone just died...can I use your phone?' 'Yeah sure'. Zoya tried calling Asad back but kept getting the engaged tone, she then called Ayaan and told him that she was on her way home with RJ, and that her phone had died as soon as Asad called 'it's ok Zoya, you reach home, I will keep calling him...he is an idiot' 'Ayaan...' she said in a reprimanding voice 'what...he is' 'ok...I will see you in a bit'.
RJ pulled up outside her house'thank you so much RJ I really appreciate it...would you like to come in?' 'no, thank you if I am any more late I might be walking in with a few cuts and bruises tomorrow' Zoya looked at him confused as he started to laugh 'I guess I have never told you, I am also engaged, I am supposed to be meeting with my fianc's family for dinner' 'congratulations RJ, that's awesome...you will definitely have to fill me in' 'I will'.
Ayaan met Zoya in the living room, he could see that she was upset 'hey you ok?' 'Yeah, did you manage to get hold of him?' 'Yes he is on his way back home' 'ok...well I guess I'll go up and get changed...I might hit the sack straight after so I'll see you in the morning'.
Zoya was about to walk off when Ayaan called after her, he walked up to her and held her hand in his 'Zoya, Leo is more than a brother to me...and you are a part of him a part of us...for me you are not only Zoya Leo's fianc, you are my sister too and I promise you that I will never let Tanveer or anyone come between you or any of us'
Zoya cupped the side of Ayaan's face 'thank you so much Ayaan, what you have just said means the world to me...you called me your sister and today I make you a promise that this sister of yours will forever be by your side...you go and get some rest I will see you in the morning'.
