HI,

Here is the next chapter. I am extremely thankful to all my wonderful readers who finds time to read my updates, give their valuable comments and likes.Please continue reading my updates and be kind enough to give me feedback.

I was about to post the update by Saturday night but unfortunately my laptop crashed and was not able to retrieve data. Hence I had to write the entire update once again and I really feel it is not good enough as I prepared this in a hurry and moreover I was upset as I lost my data. So please forgive me if the update is not good enough.

Chapter 23

Both Asad and Zoya moved apart and Asad grabbed his shirt which as lying on the chair. All the three ladies who were standing at the door left without uttering a word. Zoya sat down on Haider's bed. She was worried about Daadi's reaction. Asad was about to go out of the room and he noticed that Zoya was upset.

As: "Zoya what happened? Aren't you not coming ?"

Zoya was almost in tears. She looked at Asad

As: "What is the matter Zoya? Sshhh why are you crying?"

Zo: "I am worried that..."

As: " Ssh Zoya Don't worry about dadi. She will not take it the wrong way. I know her well so does she. She knows very well that I will never do anything which I am not supposed to do. And above all, we are not wrong Zoya. So why should you be scared of? I am there with you. Come on."

Asad extended his hand to Zoya. And she held his hand. Asad and Zoya both went to the hall . Even after reaching, Asad didn't let her hand go.

Meanwhile, Zeenat , Dilshad and Daadi were seated in the hall. And they were not facing each other.Finally Zeenat broke the silence and said: " I am really sorry for what happened."

Dil: " Ammi, Woh..."

Dilshad was also trying to explain the situation but just then

Daadi: " I don't think there is nothing to be sorry for. They both love each other and if they are expressing their love, why should we be worried? And I am very sure that my Asad will never cross his limits.So both of you stop being sorry and if you are worried about me, please don't bother. I ..."

Before Dadi could complete, they saw Asad and Zoya coming and Dadi stopped in between. Asad moved towards Dadi and he was still holding Zoya's hand. He went near Dadi and then hugged her. Zoya was standing beside him. After breaking the hug,

As: " Dadi you told you will be coming on Wednesday. But how come you came today?"

Da:" I wanted to see you as soon as Rashid informed me your wedding date.But tickets were not available till wednesday.But somehow Salim arranged for today.Now if your questioning session is over, shall I meet my child ." She said looking towards Zoya.

Asad nodded his head in a yes.As he was about to get up Dadi asked him:" Beta why you are wearing a wet shirt? Go change it soon or else you will fall ill."

Asad replied to dadi how they got wet in rain and then Zoya gave a change of clothes but Shirt was small for him.

Hearing this Zeenat went to her room and brought a packet for Asad.She asked him to change and told him that they had brought some shirts for Asad as gift and this is one of them.Asad went to change.

Dadi asked Zoys to sit near her.Zoya greeted dadi and sat beside her. Dadi blrssed her and made her sit near her.

Da:" Beta you are very beautiful. I always had confidence in Asad's choice and he proved me right.I am not telling this because I find you beautiful but because you love my Asad so much.You may be wondering how I can kniw that when I am meeting you for the first time. Your love for each other can be very well read from your eyes and I got a glimpse of it when I saw you both in the room.I am so happy that my Asad has finally found his love. I have been asking him to get married since 4 years.But everytime he gives me the answer that he can't drag a girl into his life and spoil her life as he cant love anyone.And trust me beta,I had lost all hope to see my child getting married.But at last Allah had answered my prayers and he had sent an angel to my child's life to bring him out of the darkness that surrounded him.And you are that angel,my child.And you don't know how happy I am today.May Allah give you all the happiness in this world.Dilshad was telling me that Asad had started to smile, enjoy his life.And all thanks to you beta that you gave my ladoo back." Dadi was in tears.Not only Dadi, Dilshad and also Zoya were in tears hearing Dadi.But hearing Dadi addressing Asad as Ladoo brought a smile in her lips.

Zo: "Laddoo?"

Dadi: " Haan Laddoo."

Just then Asad arrived there

As: "Dadi please."

Da: "What please? Zoya, you know beta Asad was very fond of sweets when he was young. Laddoo was his favourite and you won't believe beta, he used to eat 10 to 15 laddoos at a time. And above all, he was not like this in appearance. He was like a laddoo ".Zoya smiled at Asad. Asad was embarrassed.

Just then Zoya, " I will get coffee for all of you. You may be tired."

Zoya got up and on the way to kitchen, she stopped by Asad and asked in a low voice: " One more coffee, laddoo?"

Asad was about to scold her for irritating him but his anger vanished seeing her smile.

As: " Hmm. One more coffee would be fine. " Asad also replied with a smile.

Zoya went to get coffee and Asad was busy in conversation with Dadi. Dilshad and Zeenat were discussing about marriage arrangements.

After sometime, Zoya served coffee to everyone.

Da: " Coffee is good beta. And tell me how your health is now."

Zo: " I am fine now Dadi."

Da: " I have something for you beta. Dilshad please bring it here."

Dilshad gave Dadi some packets which she opened and gave a beautiful red and saffron coloured wedding dress and matching jewellery.

Zoya: " Its beautiful Dadi. Thank you."

Dadi: " Asad's marriage has always been my biggest dream and so does there were some wishes associated with it. And the biggest one was to get wedding dress and jewellery for Asad's bride. I know, beta it is your marriage and your choice had to be given the highest priority. Beta if you don't like it, don't worry we will change it. Infact I wanted to take you along with me for purchasing but then your ammi told me that you are not interested in shopping. And hence I bought it. So if you didn't like it, we can change it. "

Zo: " Not at all Dadi. Its really very beautiful. And trust me I really liked it. "

Zoya looked at Asad to know whether he liked it or not and he nodded his head in a yes.

Zoya continued : " And even if I didn't like also it doesn't matter. It is your blessings and not my choicee that is important. And moreover my would be husband says that I am very beautiful and I am sure he will find me beautiful in this dress also, Isn't it so Asad? "

to which Asad nodded in a yes.

Dadi kissed both Asad and Zoya and gave them her blessings. After sometime, Ayaan and Rashid arrived followed by Anwar. Haider also came with the decorator. After the discussion, they all had dinner together and the Khans left for their home.

The next day, Asad picked Zoya on the way to his office. Only the people who were in the same floor same as that of Asad's cabin knew about Asya's marriage the previous day but the news spread like a wild fire and everyone came to know about this.

When they reached office everyone whom they meet were wishing them for their marriage. Both Asad and Zoya were busy that day and they could meet only for 10 minutes in the lunch time.

And days passed in a hurry and Asad and Zoya could spent very little time with each other because of their busy schedule at work as well as marriage preparations.

And finally Asad had to leave to Pune five days prior to their marriage. The night before the day he left for Pune, Asad and Zoya decided to spent some time together and hence Asad decided to take Zoya out for a dinner.

After reaching the restaurant, they sat down at the table which Asad had reserved for them.

As: " Zoya, last time when we went out for dinner, you didn't have anything as you were not well. But not this time."

Zo: "No Asad. Today I am very hungry."

When the waiter came, Asad asked Zoya to give him the order. Zoya placed the order and Asad was a bit surprised as Zoya had ordered those food which were highly spicy.

As: " Zoya, are you sure you are going to have all these. I mean these are very spicy and I haven't seen you having spicy food like this earlier. We have even had dinner at your home. But even then, the food wasn't so spicy."

Zo: " Asad I love spicy food. In our house, everyone eats spicy food. But I was not supposed to take spicy food since I was under medication. And moreover ammi makes less spicy food when we have guests at home. Why what happened? Oh let me guess you don't like spicy food , right? And I am so sorry that I didn't ask you before placing the order. Its ok Asad. We will change the order. I will call the waiter."

As: " Zoya, relax. It is true that I am not used to eating spicy food. But it is ok, I will try."

Zo: " No Asad. Its fine. I ordered it because it is high time that I didn't have spicy food. So..."

As: " Its ok Zoya, I told na don't bother."

Zo: " Are you sure Asad? "

As: " Very much."

Just then the waiter came with soup. Zoya felt happy that she ordered for a plain soup rather than a spicy one.

Zoya then excused herself to go to washroom and she came back in afew minutes.

Zo: " Asad packing done or yet to do?"

As: " I hope ammi might have done. I told her in the morning."

Zo: " And your outfits, everything ready for marriage functions. You had some alterations. Have you done that?"

As: " Ya Zoya. Everything done."

Asad saw Zoya lost in her thoughts.He placed his hand over hers

As: " What happened? Where are you lost?"

Zo: " I will miss you Asad" Zoya's eyes teared up.

As: " Please don't cry. And please don't make things difficult. You know very well I can't see tears in your eyes. I will also miss you."

Zo: " I know you will also miss me. And sorry I am ok. It is just that..."

As: " Sshhh Zoya I know but we have to deal with it. We both have to get used to it. Even after marriage, it is going to continue."

Zo: " I understand Asad. And I know I have to get used to it. But I have never been away from you since we both realised we are in love. So I am a bit upset and please Asad make sure that you will be back in time."

As: "I will be back on time Zoya. Its my promise."

Zoya nodded her head.

The waiter arrived with food and served them.Both tasted the food.Zoya started eating and she found Asad had tasted but hasn't started eating.

Zo: " Asad Why you are not having food? Is it not good?"

As: " No Zoya, infact the food is really yummy. But it is not so spicy as I thought. I mean they have given it a higher spicy indication mark."

Zo: " Asad please if you liked the food then have it before it gets cold. I just don't like food if it gets cold." She saw Asad staring at her still without eating.

Zo: " What? have it Asad."

As: " Zoya I don't like to eat food when it is so hot."

Both burst out into a laughter after realising that there likings are just the opposites."

Just then the waiter came to ask whether they needed anything more to which they placed the order for the dessert.

Before leaving the waiter asked: " Madam, is the spice level ok. Did it meet your requirement ?"

Zoya choked the food and answered in a yes.

As: " What was that? So you asked him to make the food less spicy. But why?"

Zo: " Why not? "

As: " Zoya, but you wanted to eat spicy food?"

Zo: "It is still spicy. I am enjoying food. If a little modification can make both of us happy, then why not? And do you think Asad I would be able to eat if you don't"

As: " Ok Baba. I am not arguing."

Zo: " Good for you."

As: " I think we have different tastes. We never got a chance to know each other's likes and dislikes. I think we can discuss about it now. What do you think?"

Zoya nodded her head.

As: " Tell me what is your favourite colour?"

Zo: " Blue and yours. Let me guess it should be some boring colour like black or grey ."

As: " You are wrong Zoya. Yes it is true that for the past few years, I didn't have any colours in my life except for black and white. But I always liked bright colours like red, orange etc when I was young. "

Zo: " Wow that is unpredicatable and no wonder why Dadi chose red coloured dress for our wedding."

Zo: " Now you tell me your hobby?"

As: " Hobbies? As such I don't have hobbies Zoya. Basically I don't get free time and even if I get some, I love reading articles on new technologies. And yours?"

Zo: " Ya Allah how boring. Mine reading, music and of course movies."

As: "That s good. Music. Even I like listening to music. Especially ghazals."

Zo: " Ghazals?? Sounds good. But I love all types of music depending on my mood."

As: " PLease don't say you like the stupid music from movies totally meaningless lyrics and so much of noise. Ayaan plays such music and I hate it."

Zoya smiled and said: " But Asad I like such music also."

Zo: " And movies and favourite actors ?"

As: " I don't usually watch movies. Hindi movies never and sometimes I watch English movies and that too very selective. And about actors I don't have such favourites."

Zo: " Ya Allah, I mean no movies after marriage. No Asad not done. You have to take me for movies"

As: " Hmmm"

Zo: " What Hmmm You have to."

As: " Ok"

By then they have finished main course and started having dessert.

Zo: " But I am so sure that there is onething which I am sure both you and me like."

As: " What"

Zo: " Cricket. I love cricket and I am sure you also..."

Zoya stopped in between when she saw a smile on Asad's face.

Zo: " What? You don't watch cricket?"

As: " Unfortunately a No. I know it is difficult for you to believe. But I don't usually watch cricket apart from some final matches and that too definitely not entire match. I used to play cricket when I was young but don't watch it. I prefer football but that too not an addiction."

Zo: " Ya Allah Asad. Enough for today. We are just the opposites Asad. I wonder how we are going to live under the same roof. It is definitely not going to be easy."

As: " I agree we are opposites but it is said that opposite poles attract each other. And above all we have onething in common which is most important. Our love for each other and I am sure this similarity is far above the differences we have."

Zo: " Yes you are right Asad. And by the way we have to leave now."

Asad dropped Zoya home. Before Zoya got down from the car, she gently pecked his cheeks

And said: " Good night and take care. And miss me and come back early...And love you so much."

As: " Don't worry. I will be back soon and good night. And love you too". He pecked her forehead

Asad had an early morning flight to Pune the next day and hence he couldn't meet Zoya before leaving.Zoya was on leave as her ammi had strictly instructed her to take atleast five days leave prior to marriage as she didn't want Zoya to look tired and stressed out for wedding.

The day after Asad had left for Pune, Zoya had an appointment in the beauty parlour. After the parlour visit as she was coming back to home, she saw a little girl about five or six year old, walking along with her father. The girl was so happy and was talking to her father to which the father was nodding his head. Zoya's car was waiting at the traffic signal. She noticed the care with which the child's father held her hand while crossing the road and the sight reminded her of her childhood, how her father used to bring her to the park. And she remembered her father also used to hold her hands so tightly when they are in the road and she used to be least bothered about anything when her father is holding her hand. She realised that she is going to leave his hand and moving into a new life. She was feeling a terrible pain somewhere in her mind when the thought of leaving her father came into her mind.

Zoya has always been the father's princess. Haider was ammi's boy and she was abbu's girl. The thought of leaving her abbu was too much for Zoya to handle. Tears started flowing from her eyes.

After reaching home, Zoya went to her room. She was still very upset. Zeenat sensed that something was troubling her , but she thought it may be because Asad was not in town.

Asad had called her, but she didn't receive Asad's call also. She didn't feel like talking to anyone. Asad had called her a couple of times and still she was not answering his call. Asad called on the landline as he was really worried for Zoya. Anwar attended the call. He told Asad that Zoya is fine and may be her mobile is in silent mode. Asad was not satisfied with Anwar's answer because Zoya even picked up his call when she was in the parlour.

Anwar went to Zoya's room and found that she was lost in her thoughts. Anwar went near her and placed his hand over her shoulder. She was brought back from her thoughts. On seeing Anwar, she got up and hugged him and stared crying badly. Anwar was shocked at her outburst.

He hugged her back and said: " Beta, what happened? Please tell me. You are getting me worried beta, please."

Anwar made Zoya sit in her bed, made her drink some water and sat beside her and asked: " What happened my princess? Tell your abbu. Whatever be the problem, your abbu will solve it. Now stop crying and tell me."

Zoya wanted to tell him that she is going to miss her father so much but she couldn't as her tears didn't let her do that..

She moved closer to Anwar and made her head rest on his chest and said: " Abbu you remember how you used to take me to park when I was young."

An: " Of course beta, you always wanted to play with swings. You were so obsessed with swings and thats why I had put a swing in your room when I made this house. "

Zo: " I know abbu. I always wanted to go to park with you and not with ammi because you always bought me my favourite icecream whenever we goes there. And you always used to take me even if you are busy. You have given me everything abbu even without me demanding for anything. You have always been my biggest strength always and now I have to leave you and go. Everything happened so quickly that I never thought about this earlier. I was happy that I am going to be with my love. But I didn't think that I have you leave my abbu, ammi and bhaijaan who were with me from the moment I was born. And it is so strange abbu that we girls have to leave back everything and everyone we love and go .It is so cruel abbu. And I really don't know how I am going to be away from you all and abbu especially you. I will miss you all."Zoya burst out into tears. So does Anwar.

An: "Beta you realise this pain now, but a father of a girl realises this pain the day when his daughter is born. The very first thought which comes to mind when he sees his daughter for the first time will be Ya Allah thank you for blessing me with a lovely daughter. And one day how will I let her go away from me' The thought that one day or other my daughter will leave me and go will haunts him every night. Seeing her daughter grow, a father will be sad more than being happy. The day of marriage of ones' daughter is supposed to be the happiest day in one's life but I truly cannot understand how people consider it the happiest day when the most precious person in our life is going away from us. And from that day our daughter, a part of us , whom we bring up so lovingly keeping so close to our heart becomes detached from us that even our name attached to our daughter's name is removed. But it is the reality beta. I have to let you go even if it hurts. And for a father, it is always a sigh of relief if the daughter gets a loving husband and a loving family and if she gets all the happiness in her new life. And in your case I am so sure that Asad will never let you feel that you are away from your family even for a minute. And Beta, don't forget, that your abbu is always there for you, and will be there till the last breath of my life."

Zoya hugged Anwar and started crying again and Anwar comforted her. Zeenat and Haider who were standing by the door also had tears in their eyes.

The days went off quickly and finally it was the day of Mehendi, a day prior to their wedding. Asad s flight was at 1:00pm and was supposed to reach Mumbai by 02: 00 pm. The function was to begin at 07:30 pm and guests were invited accordingly.

It was almost 12:30 pm when Zoya got Asad's call

Zo: " Asad have you reached airport?"

As: " Ya Zoya. I have reached airport, but ..."

Zo: " But??"

As: " Zoya it has been raining here and because of which the flight is delayed, may be for a couple of hours. But I cannot wait till then. What if the rain doesn't stop and the flight gets cancelled. So I am taking a cab. It may take almost 5 hours to reach and since raining it may take upto 6 hours. Since it is not raining in Mumbai, I really hope the weather doesn't remain rainy throughout."

Zoya was initially shocked but gradually got worried about him

Zo: " Asad are you sure you are fine. Please if the weather is bad, please stay back. It is ok Asad. No ritual, no ceremony is important than you.I am really not in favour of you travelling in such a weather"

As: " Please don't panic. I have already hired a cab. I thought of calling and informing you before starting from here. I will be fine. I have informed abbu also. I will come directly to the venue if I get late. Please don't worry. I want my bride to be the most beautiful bride and if you will be worried like this, that will not be possible. So relax now, get an hour's sleep, and get ready for the function. And I will be there before 07:30 and this is my promise to my Zoya and I will keep my promise."

Zo: " Asad please be careful. If you feel anytime that the weather is not good enough for travelling, please stop your travel. What I need is that you come back safe rather than you come back on time. Keep this in mind. Travel safe. "

No doubt Zoya was dead worried for Asad.

Zoya in her thought: " Ya Allah please be with my Asad and bring him back safe"

Zoya closed her eyes in prayers.

Time moved on and after her last conversation with Asad, she could get in touch with him, as his phone was switched off. She tried to call him continuously but was of no use. She was worried but tried to remain calm as Asad's words were echoing in her mind that he will come on time.

Zoya got dressed up in a green and blue lehenga and matching jewellery. She was looking stunningly beautiful but there was one thing which was missing, her smile.

Both Zoya's family and Asad's family reached the venue by around 7pm. Everyone, were no doubt worried. Dilshad was almost in tears so as dadi. All were worried because they were not able to contact Asad. He was supposed to reach by 6 pm or at the most by 06:30 pm but he hasn't reached till 7 and moreover no one has been in touch with Asad since afternoon.

The guests started arriving yet no information about Asad. Zoya still tried to remain calm. She was praying to Allah to bring her Asad safe. It was almost 7:15 pm and yet Asad didn't come.

Discussions were going on whether to cancel the function or not and how to get track of Asad.

Zoya was sitting in a chair and Dilshad came and sat near her chair. Zoya saw Dilshad was crying. She kept her hand over Dilshad's.

Zo: " Ammi..."

It was the first time that Zoya was addressing Dilshad as ammi. Dilshad looked towards Zoya.

Zo: " Ammi if you are worried about Asad, you need not have to.Asad had promised me that he will come on time and my Asad always keeps his promises. Trust me ammi, he will be here soon. So please don't cry and tell everyone that they need not cancel the function, Asad will be here soon. It is my blind belief on Asad and I know he will never break that."

After talking to Zoya, Dilshad gained a bit confidence and she went to Rashid.

Zoya closed her eyes. Tears were flowing from her eyes: " Ya Allah please be kind enough to me. Please bring my Asad back safe."
