Hi Everyone,

Here's Chapter 12 for my story. Request all the readers to hit the like button, AND please leave a few words of encouragement for me. Happy Reading.

Chapter 12

It had been almost 2 weeks, Asad and Zoya had not got time to spend with each other. Both were craving to be together but the workload in Asad's office was huge as he had been diverting his time towards Anwar's case. Only he knew how he was holding on to his sanity. The only thing that kept him going was that one phone call before bedtime that he made to Zoya. Though it was just a 5 minute call, and sometimes not even that, he cherished every second of it. The way she would greet him, tell him she missed their evenings together, ask about his well being and then sometimes even scold him for spending too much time at work and the eagerness in her voice to talk to him all indicated towards one thing, if not love Zoya's feelings for him were deeper than that for a friend...and he was happy for himself. He realized that though it had been a long time he had seen her, the distance that had been created between them was working in his favor. Asad smiled at the thought and looked at his watch. "Perfect." He said and picked up the phone to call Zoya.

As soon as Zoya's phone rang she almost squealed with delight.

"Hello." She almost sang into the phone making Asad laugh.

"Hi. What's all the singing for?" he chuckled.

"That was because somebody who is my friend somehow dialed my number at the wrong time." She heard him laugh again "You know Asad it's 10 in the morning, not night."

"You are just too much Zoya. I know it's morning and that for the last fortnight we have been talking only at night but... but right now...ummm..." he trailed of feeling awkward to tell her he missed her. He wanted to be with her this very minute and hold her in his arms. That would have sounded so inappropriate after she called him a friend. He realized that phrases like "I MISS YOU" were generally exchanged between lovers. He closed his eyes in frustration as he could not even voice his emotions openly to her. He was scared to ruin the bond they now shared.

Zoya sensed some hesitation in his voice when he tried to complete his sentence. "What's the matter Asad is everything all right? You seem hesitant. Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Nothing... nothing at all Zoya, just that I have been so busy and we've not met in a long time...so...so I was thinking if we could meet in the evening?"

Zoya jumped at his suggestion and they decided to meet at 6 in the evening at the same coffee shop they'd met for the first time. Both were smiling like teenagers at the thought of meeting the other, both wanting to spend some much needed time together.

Zoya was happy at the thought of meeting Asad and she just couldn't understand her own feelings as to why she felt like that. By lunch time Zeenat was aware of the sudden change in Zoya as she could see the old Zoya back. After a little probing and questioning Zoya told her that she was meeting Asad in the evening and that they might even have dinner together. Zeenat smiled and said "So that is the reason you are so happy... You will meet ASAD" she said emphasizing on his name.

Zoya froze in her tracks and turned around to look at her Aapi who smiled knowingly at her "Aapi, its nothing like that. Just because we are meeting doesn't mean anything on those lines."

"Then why are you so happy Zoya?"

"Aapi because, I've missed my best friend a lot and I'm meeting him after a long time."

"But you are never this happy to meet any other friend. You've had many and a fortnight is not that long."

Zoya looked at Zeenat with confusion written all over her face. "What are you trying to say Aapi?"

"Something, you may already know but are not ready to acknowledge yet."

"Aapi please stop confusing me and tell me what's cooking in your head."

Zeenat walked upto Zoya and held her face in her hands "I think Zoya you have fallen in love." saying this she turned around and walked back into the kitchen leaving a stunned Zoya at the door.

Zoya saw Zeenat walk back into the kitchen. She stood rooted to her spot still recovering from the shock of what Zeenat had said. After a few minutes she slowly walked into her room and closed the door behind her. She sat on her bed thinking about what Zeenat said. She looked at herself in the mirror and whispered "Is it that obvious... it took Aapi just a second to understand what I'm feeling... just by my reaction at meeting Asad in the evening. I have been trying to suppress these feelings but... But they just don't leave me alone. Since the time I met him I knew I had lost my heart... Who wouldn't... he is so good looking...any girl would fall for him. He's been a true friend to me but I cannot help myself... He's understood me better than anyone else ever. He's... he's just perfect. Caring, understanding, loving, respects others and most important he knows me inside out. These past 6 months have been the best in my life. I never knew there could be someone out there who would accept me just the way I am. Not bothered about the fact that I am adopted nor does my burnt arm bother him. Only Allah knows what good I have done to deserve a friend like him... But I can't spoil it all by telling him my feelings. He can get any woman he wants...why would he want me...I am ... I am flawed... I will never tell him what I feel for him... I don't want to lose his friendship...he's just too precious to lose...I will never tell him." With that Zoya turned around and wiped the tears that were rolling down her cheeks. She turned around and looked at herself in the mirror "So what if I won't have him as a life partner, I will always have him as my best friend." She smiled at herself and then head back for lunch. Zeenat did see a little drop in Zoya's enthusiasm but thought to let her be. Zeenat wanted Zoya to realize her true feelings for Asad unaware of the emotional battle Zoya was fighting within.

Soon Zoya found herself waiting for him at the caf. She looked at her watch again that read quarter past six. She sighed as she was getting very impatient. "Already we are meeting after 2 weeks and now Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan had to be late." She huffed annoyed at him for being late and dialed his number "Where are you Asad? I've been waiting for ages."

She heard him chuckle on the other end and she rolled her eyes.

"Zoya I'm only 15 minutes late and will be there in 5." Zoya sighed audibly and disconnected the call. She put her phone back on the table when she felt someone tap her shoulder and she turned around. Her eyes widened when she saw Akram smiling back at her.

"Hi Zoya, I was here with my friend when I saw you." He smiled at her. Zoya didn't know how to react. She tried smiling back at him. "Why don't you join us at our table?" Zoya looked shocked and felt her anger rising at the audacity of this man. She was about to confront him when Asad's words echoed in her mind to not let Akram know anything. She refused his offer stating she was expecting a close friend who would be here any minute. Akram kept insisting and even grabbed her hand trying to pull her to his table. Zoya tried to free her hand but his grip was too tight and it made her wince in pain. Akram still tried pulling her along when they heard the lion roar.

"She said she doesn't want to, leave her...NOW."

Both Akram and Zoya turned to look at Asad. As soon as Akram saw him his eyes spat fire and his hold on Zoya tightened resulting in her whimpering in pain. Asad looked at Akram and in one long stride was standing right in front of him. With his eyes red with anger he held Akram's wrist so tight that his hold on Zoya loosened automatically and Zoya immediately went and stood behind Asad, literally hiding herself behind his broad shoulders. She massaged her wrist which now had the imprints of Akram's fingers. As soon as Zoya hid behind him, Asad directed his complete attention to Akram.

"Stay away from her. If I see you anywhere near her again, I swear Akram that will be the last day of your life."

"Why does it matter to you and who are you to stop me from talking to her. You don't own her, she's not your property and she's not even related to you." He mocked Asad.

"Yes she is. She is my friend and she is a part of my family." He hissed back at Akram and took another step closer to him staring right into his eyes challenging Akram to defy him. Akram then realized that there was no point in riling up Asad. He knew Asad was much stronger than what he himself was. Akram took a few steps back and trying to sound unaffected said "Whatever" and walked off. Asad wanted to smash akram's head out of frustration but was bothered about zoya. He turned around and saw Zoya in tears still trying to ease the pain on her wrist. He immediately held her hand in his and started rubbing the spot where Akram's fingerprints were. He looked up at her and saw her eyes closed and pain on her face. He blew on the spot and she immediately opened her eyes to the feeling of his warm breath on her skin. It sent strange sensations throughout her body. She looked in his eyes and for a fraction of a second she saw something different in them, something she had never seen before, but she couldn't put a finger to it.

"Are you ok?" she heard him whisper and was brought out from her thoughts. She nodded her head and Asad led her to her table. He motioned her to take her seat and took the one next to hers, he held her hand and started to gently rub her wrist again.

"I am so sorry Zoya. I shouldn't have got late." He said softly.

"Don't be ridiculous Asad; it's not your fault..."

"It is Zoya, I was the one who suggested we meet and I decided the time and place so it was my responsibility to be here on time, rather before time. What if I had reached later... Did you see how he was ... he was pulling you...what if we had decided to meet in the park...what if you were alone in the park and then he... he approached you and...and forced you like this..." Asad trailed off.

Zoya saw what he said was correct and it did scare her; she felt sweat forming on her forehead listening to him. She realized if all that was to happen then she would have been absolutely helpless. A chill ran down her spine thinking what men like Akram could do. If he could be bold enough to try and drag her to his table, what was he capable of if he found Zoya alone in a park. Zoya's body shook with terror and she held Asad's hand tightly. Asad knew what she was thinking and he moved his chair closer to hers and put his arm on her shoulder. Zoya immediately moved closer to him and held his collar trying to hide her face in his shirt and then let her tears flow freely. Asad knew his words had been harsh and they had scared her out of her wits. He tried calming her by patting her back and running his hand on her hair. Unintentionally he even dropped a few kisses on the top of her head.

Zoya had always thought herself to be very strong physically, but this one incidence shook her completely where in a caf full of people she was being dragged against her will and she couldn't even pull her hand out of Akram's grip. Asad held her closer to himself and let her calm down. After a few minutes when Zoya looked at him he again apologized and promised to her that he would never let something like this happen to her again.

Akram saw the whole scene unfold infront of his eyes and decided he had had enough of Asad touching and feeling Zoya right infront of his eyes. He wanted Zoya like he had never wanted anything or anyone else. He then decided to put an end to it all and wanted to put his plan into action. He made a phonecall and then smiled slyly thinking about his plan and what the outcome would be.

Asad still held her close to him wanting to make up for the past 2 weeks that he had not seen her and not held her hand. Just the feel of Zoya in his arms made his heart swell with more love and he just wanted time to stand still so he could always have her in his arms.

Zoya too felt most secured in his arms. She was relishing the feel of his arms draped across her shoulders. She wanted to further lean into him and never move away. But she knew that that was not possible. Being so close to him, Zoya had to really control herself and not kiss him. How she wanted to snuggle closer lift her head and then just a little peck. She sighed and then with a lot of effort she removed herself from his embrace knowing their position was inappropriate. Once they had created some distance between themselves they realized where they were and that they had a lot of people staring at them, some in awe at the love they shared and some in disgust at the public display of affection.

Both looked at each other a little embarrassed, then smiled and decided to move to another caf. Asad saw the time and suggested they head for an early dinner as there was only a day left for Anwar's trial and Asad had an early start the next day to look over all the details of the case with Mr. Reddy and Anwar.
