Part 2
Farhaan couldn't believe his ears. His zoya whom he loved like his own daughter had killed abbu. Abbu loved zoya more than himself. He may be a rude man to the world, but in front of his daughter he is like a child.
He even in his wild dreams had never expected that zoya can kill abbu! No she is no more his zoya. She had died. The girl in front of him is his worst enemy. Not his zoya.
Farhaan drove back like a crazy man. Both Sameera & razia was eagerly waiting for him. They both were shocked by the way he came to sm.
Razia: farhaan meri bacchi Kahan hai?
Sameera: ha farhaan hamari zoya Kahan hai?
Farhaan shouted: our zoya died.
Razia: what are you saying farhaan? What happened to my zoya?
Sameera: farhaan what are you saying? Did you meet her? What did she say?
Farhaan: ammi she told on my face that she killed abbu.
Razia: farhaan?
Farhaan: ha ammi she said that on my face.
Razia was crying. Farhaan cupped her face.
Farhaan: don't cry for her ammi. After all she proved that she is an adoptive daughter of this house.
Sameera: farhaan
Farhaan: ha every one had forgot that truth & we all loved her like our own. What did she give back to us in return for bringing her up with love for past 18 yrs? She killed abbu who loved her more than himself.
Razia: beta I still can't believe. From her 3 yrs of age we brought her up like our own & in this long 18 yrs we all forgot the fact that she was our adopted daughter. We didn't hide anything from her. She knew her parents died in an accident when she was 3 yrs of age & we adopted her after that. You know right what she said when we revealed truth? Her parents had not gone any where there appearance has just changed in the form of us.
Farhaan: that and all was a lie ammi. She was a monster in disguise of an angel.
Sameera: farhaan please. Did you ask her why she did this?
Farhaan: there is absolutely no reason for it Sameera. If she had a reason she would have never been silent like this.
Sameera: I feel some thing is there we are missing out. I really feel zoya is hiding some thing. May be she is trying to save some one
Farhaan: whom? There is no one like that. Here after no one will say about zoya. We don't know her. No one will cry for her.
Farhaan took razia inside who was emotionally exhausted due to these events. Where as Sameera was still in dilemma. She couldn't digest completely what farhaan had said. Some thing is missing some where. A girl like zoya who is an engineering student who loves her family more than herself can't murder her abbu whom she respect & loves. Is zoya trapped? If so by whom? Why did she accept that she had done the crime?
When Sameera & farhaan got married, Sameera didn't know that zoya was an adopted daughter. By seeing the love between every one no one can suspect zoya was an adopted daughter. It was zoya who told about it to Sameera. No doubt Sameera was shocked. But Sameera was happy that she was in a family were every one loved each other unconditionally.
Mrs. Zeenat farooqui was gaffour's cousin sister. Zeenat & anwer met with a car accident 18 yrs back. Zoya was only 3 yrs old at that time. Gaffour & razia adopted her after anwer & zeenat passed away.
Gaffour & razia never hide any thing from zoya. They used to take her to anwer & zeenat's Khabar frequently. Zoya never felt that her parents passed away. They were always with her. In the form of gaffour & razia.
Gaffour's body was criminated with all the rituals. Every one was speaking about the murder & zoya's involvement. Farhaan & Sameera didn't pay any attention. Razia's health was in poor condition. She was too weak. Sameera was taking care of her completely.
Sameera wanted to see zoya once. But farhaan had warned her.
Gaffour's death had been sensational & zoya being involved & all was the breaking news in the following days. Zoya was still in the same state. Even during the interrogation she was completely quiet. Police has filed fir & her silence was taken as her acceptance.
Since zoya was adopted by siddiqi's & gaffour had been murdered by zoya, no one came forward for zoya. Not even an advocate was appointed for her. Sameera was really restless. Farhaan & razia are extremely angry with zoya. From there pov they are correct also. But still Sameera wanted to know what really happened that night? She had to do some thing quick. At the same time her involvement shouldn't be public, if farhaan comes to know he will interfere there also. In this situation only one person can help her. Asad Ahmed khan!
Asad Ahmed khan! 26 yrs old gentle man. He is a famous lawyer in Bhopal. Asad & Sameera had studied together from there kg classes to graduation. After degree asad took LLB & in the past 3 yrs he has became number one lawyer in city. Asad is the only son of rashid Ahmed khan & dilshad khan. Rashid is a famous physician.
In Khan villa
Sameera took half day leave from her college as she wanted to meet asad. Since asad & Sameera had studied together since childhood both her family & his family knew each other well. Dilshad greeted Sameera whole heartedly. Sameera was extremely tensed. She is doing some thing against farhaan for the first time in there 1 yr of marriage. But she couldn't step back as it's regarding zoya. Zoya is more like her daughter than a sister or sil. Sameera came back from her thoughts when she heard asad's voice.
Asad was still the same. Extremely handsome. Tall & fit. His chocolate brown eyes can make any one fall for him.
Asad: so mrs. Sameera you found time to meet your friend now?
Sameera: ya Allah it should me who should be complaining. You didn't even attend my nikkah & reception.
Asad: sorry Sameera I had a case on high court that day.
Sameera: asad I want to discuss some thing with you. It's important.
Come with me Sameera.
Asad took Sameera to his office room. Asad could feel sameera's nervousness.
Asad: Sameera we both know each other from childhood. Then why are you hesitating? Carry on?
Sameera: asad my SIL is trapped in a case & I want you to appear for her.
Asad: Sameera first I want to know about the case & then about your SIL. Then only I can assure.
Sameera closed her eyes & explained everything in detail. She felt so revealed once she shared her doubts with some one. But asad was silent.
Sameera: asad just say some thing.
Asad: Sameera just answer me one question, zoya herself shouted in front of farhaan that she killed mr.siddiqi & farhaan and his ammi is hating her as there worst enemy. Then why you feel that some thing is really missing & no one is aware about it except zoya.
Sameera: it's only because I know zoya very well. You yourself think asad a 21 yr old final year electrical engineering student from IIT Mumbai, who is the topper of the batch & a all rounder, who is the eye candy of every one, she was brought up as a princess & she really loved every one from the bottom of her heart. She never felt that she is an adoptive daughter, she always felt that her parents are farhaan's ammi & abbu only. She can never hurt any one asad. I feel some thing has happened that night & only zoya knew about it. But why she is hiding it? There must be a strong reason. Asad will you help me? I want to know the truth.
Asad: don't worry Sameera I will help you to find the truth. I will bring out the truth what had happened that night & if zoya is innocent I will bring her out of bars.
Sameera: thank you so much asad. Please no one should know that it's me who wanted you to appear for zoya. Farhaan has changed so much asad. If he hear now zoya's name he will loose his control. He wanted zoya to get sentence to death punishment. If you bring out truth I will get back my husband also.
Asad: you can trust me Sameera. No one will know about our meeting. I have my own ways.
Sameera: one thing you should know about zoya is if she decides some thing in her mind no one can bring her back from that. She is stubborn.
Asad: so I am Sameera. If I decide something I will never back off. So this is going to be interesting.
