Zoya came out the shower; she wrapped her towel around her and stepped out into her room. As soon as she did the door of her room flung open, she jumped back to see Asad standing there.
He approached her in two long strides and grabbed her by the top of her arms 'do you know what I have gone through in the last hour...where the hell where you...what happened to your phone...how can you be so irresponsible Zoya' Zoya winced in pain as his fingertips dug deeper into her bare skin 'Asad, you are hurting me let me go' she said with moistened eyes. Asad loosened his grip and as he did she stepped back 'you are calling me irresponsible...you were supposed to be there to pick me up Asad, I called you so many times, I waited and waited like an idiot and you never showed...if you wanted to be with Tanveer...enjoying your damn pizza then all you had to do was tell me you couldn't make it...you are the one who is irresponsible Asad not me'.
Asad looked at her 'how...' 'how do I know about your pizza date...I got a call from whoever that moron is who told me where you were, he told me you wouldn't come...so I came to you, I saw you with her...I could have come home Asad but I went back to the studio...knowing...believing that you would come...hoping you would remember and...but you never'. Zoya's tears rolled down her face uncontrollably. Asad raised his hand to cup her face only for her to turn away from him.
Asad swallowed hard, he reluctantly placed his hand on her shoulder and turned her around 'I'm so sorry Zoya...things got complicated...I hadn't forgot but Tanveer...I thought I had my phone with me but I didn't it was in the car...Zoya, I promise nothing like this will ever happen again and this guy...he knew...does that not say something?'
Zoya looked into his eyes 'I love you more than life itself, I have no one but you Asad, I don't know what is going and why...I trust you but I don't trust her and I know she will try and come between us...Asad I am going abroad soon, with all this I don't know if I will be able to do it' Asad took her by both her shoulders and held her against his chest 'you will go Zoya, you will go and fulfil your dream, this is what you have wanted and it's what we want for you too...she will be gone soon, I promise Zoya, that her and Farhaan will be out of our lives for good'.
'I don't like feeling like this, it scares me...I can't believe we had our first fight' 'no Zoya...this was not a fight...we will never fight...this was just two people who are madly in love with each other showing exactly how crazy they can go when one doesn't know what is happening with the other'.
Asad moved Zoya's wet locks out the way before he cupped her face and kissed her, his soft pecks didn't take long to turn into a full passionate lip lock. 'Asad...ummm I need to change' she said blushing as she looked down. Asad started smiling 'you need any help with that...I promise I will be good' Zoya looked at him wide eyed before she hit his arm 'give me a few minutes'.
Zoya came back out to find Asad sitting on her bed, she went and lay down next to him, she rested her head in his lap and let him stoke her hair 'Asad, Farhaan and Tanveer are in this together...how will we fight them...Aunty is so oblivious to her intentions and this guy who we think is Farhaan...how do we catch them?' 'You leave that to me Zoya, I don't want you to worry, I will take care of everything'.
In the morning Rashid left early taking Najma with him. Dilshad called down for Ayaan 'Ayaan, can you please call your brother down, he will be late'. At the same time Tanveer came and joined Dilshad, Ayaan turned around to call out for Asad when he saw him and Zoya walking down hand in hand looking happy as ever.
Zoya looked directly at Tanveer feeling content at the miserable face she was pulling. 'Ya Allah, you two just can't keep away from each other' Dilshad said smiling and shaking her head at the same time 'exactly Ammi...these two really cant keep away...I think we should skip ahead and get them married...have their nikah done' Ayaan said winking at Zoya and Asad 'Ammi I think you need to dish out some sweets...can you believe Ayaan actually said something sensible' As they continued Zoya went to hug Dilshad 'Aunty, I am not going to have breakfast, Asad is going to drop me off and then go to work himself...also this weekend I think we all need to go out shopping, I need to get a few things for my trip'.
Tanveer looked at Zoya and faked a smile 'wow Zoe...I mean Zoya a trip...where are you going?' before Zoya could answer Ayaan shouted out 'Goa...our little dancing diva is going to dance all the way to Goa' Zoya looked at Ayaan questioningly thinking 'since when am I going to Goa 'Goa...that's nice, am sure you will love the beach' Tanveer said as she walked past her 'Leo...can you take me with you...if you can drop me off into the town centre...I would really appreciate it' Asad looked at Zoya and then Dilshad 'Ammi, you are going out, right? Can you please take Tanveer with you...come Zoya lets go' he said ignoring her completely.
Zoya took Asad's hand and then with her free hand grabbed hold of Ayaan 'come little bhaijaan, you coming with us'.
Zoya slumped herself on the floor after a 40 minute nonstop rehearsal. As she sat she saw a bottle of ice cold water before her she looked up to see RJ standing in front of her 'thanks, it exactly what I needed' she said as she took the bottle from him. RJ sat next to her 'you ok...I mean yesterday you looked a little down' Zoya took in a deep breath and then told RJ everything about her and Asad, and what had happened with Tanveer. 'Wow Zoya you really have been through the mills...look I know it hasn't been long since I have known you but I want you to know you will always find a friend in me' 'thanks RJ, I really appreciate it...so now...your turn tell me more about your fianc' 'her name is Ayana' Zoya looked at him 'isn't that an Arabic name?' 'Yes, she is half Muslim and half Hindu. Her full name is Ayana Kapoor' Zoya looked at him with a smile 'and you are Sikh' RJ nodded 'man I love this country look how beautifully everyone lives and unites as one...good on you RJ'.
That evening Zoya and Asad walked in and joined everyone, after a few moments Tanveer came running in 'Leo...Leo please help me' everyone stood up as they saw her, she came crashing into Asad making him lose his balance a little 'Tanveer what the hell is going on' Ayaan said earning a very disapproving look from Rashid 'I am sorry but the person who attacked me is calling me...threatening me that he will get me...please Leo, I know I said I would leave by tomorrow but I cant I am so scared...just afew more days' Asad looked at her then up to eceryone who was standing around.
'Abu, can you please call the police' Asad said straight away 'no...no police...this will only escalate...if I could just stay here for a little longer, as soon as I have a place to stay I will go'.
Zoya who had a grip on Asad's shirt from behind loosened her hold 'Tanveer can I please see your phone?' Zoya said stepping forward and stood in front of her 'm...my phone...why?' 'You said this guy was calling you...' 'Yes but it was a private number' she quickly said holding her mobile that much tighter. I am not concerned with what his number is can you please give me your phone' 'Tanveer, give her your mobile' Asad said.
Tanveer reluctantly gave Zoya her phone, which she took. Zoya opened the back took out her chip and snapped it half 'there, problem solved, now he doesn't have any way of contacting you or threatening you...and I guess he doesn't know where you live so you can move around without him knowing...you are safe' Zoya gave her an exaggerated smile, she handed her back her phone and broken chip before she left to go to their room.
Ayaan couldn't stop laughing as he high fived his sister 'Zoya that was ace, man the look on her face was priceless...good thinking genius'. As the two of them sat there laughing and enjoying the moment in the distance Tanveer stood raging with shear anger 'you think you are funny...I am not letting you get away with this Zoya...the day you leave for Goa is the day you leave here forever'.
Little did Tanveer know that Zoya was not going to Goa, lucky for them she had bought what Ayaan had said.
