Part 21
Haider was crying unknowingly. After long 17 yrs he got back his chutki. Now it's pretty clear why mr & mrs.siddiqi killed his zainab mausi? Because mausi was mr.siddiqi's first wife & his chutki's ammi. But how is he going to reveal it to zoya? 17 yrs back it was zainab mausi who passed away in the fire accident in the doll factory which was set by rashid Ahmed khan - zoya's husband asad's father. It became a sole reason for rashid to leave asad & his family & join siddiqi's family by marrying his cousin sister. So if he reveal truth it will only spoil asad & zoya's life. On top of that zoya is pregnant. She should be away from all sort of stress & tension. He has to talk with gaffour. He was brought back by zoya's voice.
Zoya: I am sorry bhaijaan, I made you also to cry.
Haider: it's fine chutki
They both wiped there tears. She gave him a sweet from the packet. She too took one.
He was watching zoya eating sweets, he could see the same 3 yr old girl whom he lost 17 yrs back. She is still the same, same innocence is still there in her.
When asad came back he greeted him & went out of there room leaving the couple for privacy. Asad went & hugged zoya.
Asad: mrs.khan
Zoya: ji mr.khan
Asad: you really didn't know about the pregnancy before? I mean there will be changes in the body in the early stages.
Zoya: frankly speaking I didn't know
Asad: what? Being a girl you didn't know the changes in your own body?
Zoya: I didn't know what can I do for that now? Stop scolding me. Moreover there was so much tension going on here. First Humeira then NikhAt, ya I was tried for past few days but I thought it's due to stress.
Asad: ok fine now you listen you are not going to stress yourself. From today najma & NikhAt will manage cooking & you are not climbing up & down understood?
Zoya: mr.khan beemar nahi hoon Mai sirf pregnant hoon.
Asad: mrs.khan you should be really cautious during this time & you are really careless.
Zoya: what?
Asad: nothing
It was like a festival in KV during dinner time. Haider was going on noticing zoya. Her smile, the way she talks & her antics. Asad noticed that zoya was not eating properly. She was feeling really nauseated by the smell of food. He remembered doctor saying that don't force her to eat let her have what she wish & also she mentioned nausea & vomiting is really normal in the initial stages. So he asked NikhAt to get juice for zoya. He has also brought fruits for her. He fed her fruits & made her to drink juice. Zoya ate it without fuzz after all her jahaphana is feeding her. Haider was happy to see asya like this. He left after biding good bye to every one.
Next day morning
Asad was making zoya to bath. He has studied in net that hot water mixed with few natural leaves will give good energy to pregnant women. He made her sit in a stool & he was bathing her. She was blushing so hard. She was feeling happy also as asad is doing the duty of a mother along with being her husband.
After the bath asad wiped zoya's body & dried her hair well in the towels. He has got few books yesterday itself in which they have mentioned that cold during pregnancy is extremely dangerous. So he was drying her hair very well. He has got her few frock model dresses so that it will be comfortable for her during her pregnancy. Zoya was feeling too happy. She pulled him towards her & kissed on his lips. He too kissed her back.
In the dining table zoya was given VIP treatment. Since docter has declared her pregnancy NikhAt & najma has banned her from kitchen & household works. Zoya's appetite was low & she preferred fruits & sand witch's like asad. The smell of any food made her nauseous. So asad was feeding her. She was no more that foodie who likes pizza, chips & cakes. It's a usual change in pregnancy. Every one had objection for zoya going to work but she wants to work. So asad supported her.
Asad had shifted zoya's cabin next to him so that he can be always with her. He has got a small room inside her cabin with a small fridge & electric pan & few groceries also. The entire staffs learned about zoya's pregnancy news. Few experienced people share there knowledge with zoya as she is really friendly with every one.
In the evening dilshad & rashid came to KV. Asad was not happy with rashid's presence. But he didn't say anything for zoya's & ammi's sake. Rashid blessed zoya. He didn't stay much time because he knows asad won't be happy. Dilshad was staying back in khan villa. She also declared that all alternate days she will be in KV as she wants to take care of zoya in her pregnancy. Every one was happy as she is staying in KV after a long time.
In the evenings asad used to read pregnancy books & zoya used to listen. During the days when dilshad is there in KV she used to read holy books. She also mentioned to zoya that the foetus could here us & mothers thoughts will be affecting the child. So the entire family try there maximum to make zoya happy. Zoya also tried to engage in good thoughts.
Haider used to visit KV regularly. He was unable to speak with gaffour as he has gone to indore for a new project & he will return really late.
Zoya was now 3 months pregnant. One day in KV.
Asad entered there bedroom & he was shocked to find zoya sitting & crying in the bed. All the reports including the scanning was normal. He wondered what could be her problem?
Asad sat near her.he cupped her face.
Asad: kya hua zoya? Are you ok? Are you in pain? Just tell me.
Zoya: mr.khan I am putting on & none of my night dresses are fitting me. As the days progress I will put on even more. You won't like me if I put on na?
Asad: zoya what are you saying. I love you. No matter how you are I will always love you.
He kissed her. He took her for shopping. She had got mostly frocks & knee length night dresses.
Around midnight
Asad & zoya was sleeping. Suddenly zoya woke up & shouted.
Asad got really tensed.
Asad: what happened baby? Are you ok?
Zoya: asad I want pani puri
Asad: what? In the midnight at 12pm where will I find pani puri?
Zoya: I don't know I was pani puri bass.
Asad: listen to me I will get it tomorrow
Zoya: no I want it now.
Asad: ya Allah
Asad has no other go. He took her also with him. He didn't want her to have street food. And at this time it was really rare to find. He took her to a five star hotel. All the staffs was shocked to see the couple there at this time.
Zoya: mr.khan I don't want from here. I want from roadside.
Asad: no way mrs.khan. I don't want you to have unhygienic food from streets. If you want have it from here.
Zoya pouted.
Once they got she was having it as if she never ate food in her entire life. She was also moaning in pleasure. Asad was feeling awkward & he was having some feelings hearing her moaning.
Asad: mrs.khan we are in a public place. So controll.
Zoya: Akdu.
On the way back she slept off. Asad took her in his arms to there room without disturbing her sleep. He placed her on the bed & kissed her forehead.
As days passed asad was completely taking care of zoya. Even tough dilshad used to be there he used to make her bath & get her dressed. Even he used to feed her. Otherwise zoya won't be eating properly. He used make her do pregnancy exercises for normal delivery. In each check up he used to accompany her. It was becoming tough for him to handle her as days progressed. She was extremely childish.
Zoya has completed now 5 months of pregnancy.
One day morning in KV
Asad has gone out before zoya woke up. It was a public holiday. He has left a note for her. He knows she will panic. She tried on his phone but it was switched off. She was now getting tensed. Even tough he left a note & he has also mentioned that he will back soon, she was missing him. For the past 6 months since they married he was always with her. He always takes her also along with him. She wants to see him, kiss him, hug him & she wants to feel his presence. She was in a verge to cry.
Dilshad & haider has arrived in the morning itself. Najma came & took zoya out of the room. Asad has informed najma to make zoya have breakfast on time as he may be a bit late. Every one could see zoya was not in her usual mood. Every one tried to cheer up. But all went In vain. She was hesitating to have her breakfast. The family was really in a dilemma, asad's phone was still switched of. Zoya has to take her vitamin tablets. Najma, NikhAt, Humeira & dilshad tried to feed her. But she was not having it.
Haider shook his head & murmured: asad bhai ne chutki ko bigad Diya
He took plate & went towards zoya.
Haider: chutki please have this. You have to have your tablets. Please think about the baby & have this.
Finally zoya ate much to everyone's relief. Somehow after food Humeira managed to give the tablets to zoya. After all this everyone was really exhausted. Zoya has retired to her room.
When asad entered KV he could see his siblings & ammi sitting in one corner, they are really exhausted.
Asad: what happened to all?
Haider: asad bhai this is the after effect of feeding chutki with breakfast & medicine.
Najma: ha bhaijaan it was almost like a war
Humeira: here after if you want to go out, go after feeding baji.
NikhAt: ji bhaijaan Bhabhi was missing you so much
Asad: you people can't manage her for few hours
Dilshad: asad she needs your care & presence. She is really upset from morning. Go & be with her.
Asad: ji ammi
Asad went to his room only to find zoya sitting & crying in the couch. He went & sat near her. She removed his hands when he touched her.
Zoya: go away mr.khan
Asad: zoya
Zoya: I know you don't love me. I am becoming fat day by day
Asad: don't be silly zoya I love you & I will always
Zoya: no if you really loved me how can you forget the importance of this day?
Asad pulled zoya towards him & cupped her face.
Asad: zoya how can I forget this day zoya? 1 yr back I saw you in Mazar for the first time. How can I forget that day zoya.
Zoya: so you remembered?
Asad: ha my dear. I went to the same Mazar to pray, to thank Allah for bringing you in my life. I got a gift also
Zoya: Kahan?
Asad: close your eyes.
Zoya closed her eyes.
She could feel asad touching her legs. She opened her eyes only to find asad putting golden anklets in her feet.
Zoya: it's really pretty. Don't you want your gift?
Asad: ha
Zoya went towards her cupboard. She took a packet & gave him.
Asad opened it. It was a blue shirt.
Zoya: I know you prefer black & white. But you will look nice in blue
Asad: it's really nice zoya
Suddenly zoya felt something & her expressions changed.
Zoya: asad he kicked for the first time
She kept his hands in her tummy & he too felt the kick. Both had tears on there eyes. He kissed on her tummy.
In order to compensate asad & zoya had lunch & dinner in there room. After dinner asad played guitar & sang for zoya & baby. Sometimes he used to sing for her. Hearing his songs she slept of slowly. He made her to lie down properly & he too went to bed.
After some time during midnight both asad & zoya woke up hearing some noise. Asad switched on the lights. Both asad & zoya saw someone in the couch. As he turned back both asad & zoya was shocked to see Ayaan after 6 months.
