Part 21
Asad was happy & at the same time he was sad also. Finally zoya has admitted that she still loves him & cares for him. She also cleared that she is scared to trust him once more. Zoya has always trusted him blindly, even tough he never trusted her even 1%. She used to always forgive him with out any complaint.
He too went to sm hall for participating in haldi ceremony. It was najma & Imran along with haseena bee came with shagun ki haldi for NikhAt. After sangeet ceremony najma herself went with Imran to QM as she knows it was she & Imran who should bring shagun for NikhAt. Imran could see a change in najma. She has calmed down a bit & they were in now talking terms. Haseena bee started applying haldi for NikhAt. Followed by najma, Chand bee, badi bee, razia, dilshad, shireen, zoya, Humeira & nuzzat. Zeenat too applied haldi & blessed NikhAt. Except zoya, Humeira & zeenat others started applying haldi each other.
Every one could see the tension between asad & zoya. Zoya slowly went back to guest house. Asad knew she was shaken badly. She needs her own space. So he too went back to his room.
After the haldi ceremony najma informed Imran that she is staying back. She also added after nikkah she will return back to QM. Imran was happy. After 2 days she will be with him. Najma used to call him regularly now a days when she is in sm. He knew she is slowly moving on & he shouldn't pressurise her. Every one could see development in there relationship.
Asad informed dilshad that he is going out & will come back soon. He went to Mazar. It was the same Mazar where he met zoya for the first time 5 months back. He very well remember when he came & sat for praying he saw her opposite to him. She was in red bridal dress. She was crying & praying. Even though she was sad & scared he could see her innocence in her face. It was the same innocence which attracted him. Now he knows it was a sign from lord that she is his destiny. His love, his life.
He prayed Allah to bring her back in her life by some miracle. After some time he came out. Moving towards his car he saw a man near a grocery shop. He knew this man. Wait! He is the same man who reframed zoya's abbu's photo. He was the one who informed that zoya's abbu passed away 15 yrs back & told him about the qabar of her abbu. He remembered zoya saying him during Ramzan month that she & tanveer went to the grave yard & saw it empty. Tanveer knew zoya's abbu's identity. After knowing that zoya has sacrificed her abbu's identity to save him from tanveer's trap he tried his level best to find her abbu. But all went in vain.
He went towards the man. The photo frame shop guy recognised asad. He was a bit scared. Asad caught his collar & shouted
Asad: I knew you have lied to me that zoya's abbu died 15 yrs back. Just tell me who is he? I am sure you knew his address.
Man: beta. I am really sorry. I was paid to lie like that. When that girl gave me that photo to reframe at the same time mrs.razia siddiqi too gave me some old photos to frame. One of a photo was same with zoya's photo. I informed her. She only paid me to lie like that to that girl. I am sorry beta. I am a poor man please leave.
Asad left him. He was too shocked. He thought up to now it was tanveer who paid him to lie, but now he is astonished to hear that it's razia who paid him. She too has the same photograph. What's her connection with zoya's abbu? Why she paid him to lie in front of zoya? He was too confused.
On the way he was determined that he will speak to zoya & inform about this. It's about her abbu. She has the full right to know about her abbu. He know he can't go to her room directly. If zeenat API finds him any where near zoya she will just drag her back to New York. So he can't take a risk. He thought of seeking najma's help. On the way he got few chocolates, sweets & ice cream for najma. He called her on phone & asked her to come to hall. After giving all the stuffs he put forward a demand that he wants to talk to zoya in her room personally. At first najma didn't agree. But after getting huge amount of money as a bribe she agreed. He asked to stay outside till he calls her.
He can't go through door. So he has to climb up through pipes & enter through window. It's second time he is climbing up through the window in her room. He remembered how Ayaan & zoya used to enter his room through window & how he used to lecture him. It seems like his fate is laughing at him by making him climb up through these windows. If it goes like this he too will become like Ayaan & zoya, who never uses the door & enters through the window.
Once he entered her room he found zoya browsing in her iPad. She was shocked to see asad in her room at this hour.
Zoya: Allah Miya what's wrong with you mr.khan? Why are you in my room at this hour? Didn't I make it clear to you that I am not interested in talking with you? If API finds you she will murder you. So please leave.
Asad: zoya I didn't come here to disturb you. I want to say something about your abbu.
Hearing about her abbu tears formed in zoya's eyes. Asad has recorded the video of his & the photo frame guy's conversation. She was shocked to find out that it was razia who paid the guy to mislead her.
Zoya: mr.khan I thought it was tanveer's plan to sent me away from India. But what's razia's connection with my abbu? Why she want me to be away from my abbu? It means that she knows him.
Asad: yes zoya. She knows about your abbu & she doesn't want you to be near him. We can't ask her directly.
Zoya: mr.khan I very well remember after holi party I went along with tanveer to the photo shop & it was tanveer who noted down the address in her cellphone. Now it's clear that it was sm address. Tanveer knows my abbu. That means she might have had some contact with razia siddiqi & may be through her she came to know about my abbu. Mr.khan we should check tanveer's phone & laptop. But she is in jail & we can't ask her about it directly.
Asad: don't worry zoya I will find a way to get her phone & lap top.
Zoya: ok mr.khan
