Part 8
Zoya was still in shock.
Asad: zoya I know I shouldn't have hidden this from you. Especially when you shared every thing with me. I just didn't want to take a risk. I know you are a person who values relationships. That's the main reason you came to Mumbai before your marriage is fixed with akram. You never want to put down your parents. It was same with me zoya. I too had to agree to a marriage just because I couldn't put my father down. Even after knowing that my would be is a characterless girl I agreed to the nikkah only for my abbu.
Zoya was still trying to register what asad said.
Zoya gasped.
Zoya: if so then what's your reason to run away from your nikkah 2 days before?
Asad: zoya my fianc tanveer's father iman is a well known builder. 25 yrs back when my abbu started our construction firm iman baig took the risk of giving a chance for him. His daughter tanveer is only 1 yr younger to me. I know her since childhood as she was in my school. From her teenage she used to roam with many guys & date them. Many times she was caught for drinking, smoking & breaking other rules of the school. I never informed about her to my parents as I was scared about my abbu's professional relationship with her abbu. Anyways after my 12 th it was my wish to join architecture & I was adamant that I had to study my b.arch in New York. After my 5 yrs of study I came back to Bhopal & I decided to do MBA. Tanveer became my classmate there. She was still the same. May be even worse. She even tried to be close with me. But I never paid attention. After completing my MBA I joined with abbu. I was happy & successful. Almost after an year tanveer's abbu came with the proposal. Abbu couldn't say no because of his help & support years back when he started the business.
My abbu agreed for the nikkah. But when I heard I was shocked. I said no but my parents convinced me & I understood it's about his prestige. I had no other go. I convinced myself to compromise. We got engaged & other functions was going on. 3 days before nikkah I had to go to tanveer's house unexpectedly as my dadi came back from pilgrimage & she wanted tanveer to wear her gifted dress on mehendi ceremony that night. Even though I tried to contact her & her abbu there cellphone was switched off. So I thought of giving it directly. When I reached there house I heard someone's loud talks & laughter. I was curious. So I went towards the source of noise. I was shocked to see tanveer, her abbu & another gentleman sitting & drinking alcohol. I heard her abbu saying that there company is in debt. Also tanveer is pregnant with her boyfriend Ibrahim's kid. They just want me to marry tanveer so that by becoming dil of KV she can become close to us & cheat us & get all our properties in her name. After that she can get a divorce & marry her boy friend. I was totally shocked zoya. I didn't know what to do. That whole day I thought. I know if say truth no one believe me & I don't have any proof. I can't let someone snatch my abbu's hard earned money. Also I can't hurt my family. I can't let them suffer. So the only option was to ran away. Even though I ran away from my nikkah with tanveer I couldn't completely ran away from my fate. I got married to you on the same day.
Zoya gasped. She was registering & analysing the facts asad said to her.
Asad was waiting for zoya's response. It was then they heard someone knocking there door. Zoya left from there to see who is there at there door steps. It was Humeira.
Humeira had came in search of zoya for some help with the subject. It was usual. If Humeira has some difficulties in her studies she will ask zoya's help. Zoya started explaining & clearing her doubts.
Asad desperately wanted to speak with zoya. But Humeira is there. Zoya is understanding asad's situation. But she too was helpless.
Once when Humeira left asad went towards zoya.
Zoya: asad I can understand asad. You were helpless. It's ok. Atleast you opened up now. I am happy.
Asad was revealed.
Zoya went back to her studies.
There routine continued as usual. Asad could see zoya is really mature even though she behaves like a kid. She is very caring & understanding person. He could feel that his attraction is becoming stronger & stronger.
Zoya got an off for a day from her job in the morning as the students had exams that day. Zoya decided to sleep for more time that day.
Since it's mildly raining asad thought of doing small exercises in there home itself.
When it became 7 she got up. She went to washroom & came to hall. She was astonished to see asad shirtless.
Asad was doing push ups. He was not aware that zoya is standing at his back.
Zoya was shocked to see asad's well toned body & six packs. Even though asad looked fit she never thought that he had such a perfect body. His arms, six packs, biceps & triceps. Zoya was shamelessly ogling over his body. She was so lost in him.
When asad turned back he saw zoya drooling over him. He had a smirk on his face. It was asad's touch which brought back zoya in to reality. Zoya could feel his gaze on her. She lowered her face. Unknowingly she was blushing. First she felt that she is getting attracted to asad.
