Chapter 7 Trouble at the EngagementIn the house, everyone was getting ready for Arjun and Purvi's engagement party. Asad, Ayaan, and Haider were waiting while the ladies were busy getting ready. "Why do girls take so long to get ready?" Haider asked.
"Only Allah knows." Ayaan said. Asad rolled his eyes. Just then, Najma, Humeira, and Zoya came downstairs. All three were dressed in beautiful ghagra cholis. Asad particularly looked upon Zoya, who was looking beautiful as ever in a pink ghagra choli with her hair swept on the side. "Shall we go, bhaijaan?" Najma asked Asad.
"Yes, lets go." Asad said. The group left in Asad's car with Asad driving them off to the party. Within an hour, they reached Arjun's house. Once they arrived, they came at the front door of the house where an aunty opened the door and said, "Hi! Please come in."
The engagement party was on full swing and many of the guests had already came. Zoya looked around the place, brushing her swept hair, when she spotted Purvi.
Purvi smiled upon seeing Zoya and went up to her and hugged her. "Congratulations!" Zoya told Purvi after letting go from the hug. "Thank you, Zoya. And thanks for coming." Purvi said.
"By the way, where is your hero at?"
"Arjun? He's busy with Asad. They used to be very close when they were in college."
"Very lucky you are. Are you nervous?"
"A little. Married life is a big change. But its nice. So tell me...is there someone special in your life?"
"No way! I'm still waiting for the perfect one!"
"Trust me, Zoya...he'll come...when you don't see it coming."
"Meaning?"
"I had the same kind of expectations as you...for what I want in a man. I hated Arjun at first. But with time, we fell for each other. It just happens."
Zoya seemed drawn and lost in Purvi's words. "Well, I have to go to some other guests. I'll be back." Purvi said. Zoya nodded.
Zoya stood bored, looking around. Just then, Haider came to her. "What you looking for, tevar wali?" Haider asked Zoya.
"Nothing."
"What's wrong?"
"Your khadoos friend is something! No matter what I can't make him see I'm fit for the S.R.O.!"
"I have an idea."
"What?"
"You see him talking to Arjun?"
"Yeah."
"Try and mingle. They're talking about his work. That can help."
"Good idea! I'll be back!"
Zoya rushed towards Asad and Arjun. "Hi!" Zoya greeted Arjun. Arjun turned to her and smiled. "Hello." Arjun greeted.
"I'm Zoya. Zoya Farooqi." Zoya introduced to Arjun.
"She's a guest at my house." Asad said.
"Oh I see. Nice to meet you." Arjun greeted Zoya.
"You too." Zoya smiled.
"So Asad, what's it like working at the S.R.O.?" Arjun asked Asad.
"Well its-"
"Its amazing what they do!" Zoya interrupted.
"You know what they do?" Arjun asked Zoya.
"Actually she's-"
"Of course I do! They are highly secretive organization!" Zoya began to explain. "Let me tell you...they work at a very smart and secretive pace. They hide their movements so well and-"
"Ms. Farooqi, can I talk to Arjun myself?" Asad asked.
"Why?" Zoya asked. "But-"
"Arjun wants to know our techniques which you know nothing about. I think you should go along with the ladies instead." Asad told Zoya.
"What?!" Zoya exclaimed. "But-"
"Go on." Asad urged.
With that, Zoya pouted and began to leave. "Who is she?" Arjun asked Asad. "Some crazy girl." Asad rolled his eyes.
Zoya stopped, hearing Asad's words. She angrily headed upstairs. "Stupid khadoos guy! He's so rude!" Zoya exclaimed as she walked down the hall upstairs among a few people. As she walked down the hall, looking for the bathroom, she stopped near a door from which she heard sounds inside the room.
Zoya put her head near the door, peeping inside the small window. She saw a group of four men who appeared to be dressed into black jumpsuits. Who are these guys? Zoya asked herself.
"Is everyone ready?" one of the men asked.
'Yes." the other men replied.
"Good," the same man said. "We'll carry out the plans in half an hour. You know where to place the bombs. I'll take out Arjun outside and finish him the harder way. And soon...the Kirloskars will be taken down."
Zoya gasped upon what she heard. She stepped aback. No way! Zoya exclaimed to herself. These guys are going to bomb the place! And no one knows! I have to do something about this! But what?!
