Hello guys! I am really sorry for being late but I was just caught up with some work. Thank you for the likes and comments.Here goes the next part.
Part 6 :
It was another day of the excursion.Rehaan and Asad had gone to present the project report which they had prepared yesterday while Zoya chose to stay back in her hotel room. She was lost in her thoughts. She could not deny the fact that she was extremely happy after the events that had occured yesterday. She felt like smiling for no reason like a teenage girl who is mad about her crush. She could relive her college days when she was mad about Asad. She still remembered her so called fight with a girl who had her eyes on Asad.
** Flashback starts **
Asad was one of the most handsome guys of their batch. All the girls were mad about him. A conversation with him was a dream for every girl. Zoya had just one class of an hour with him everyday and they gelled up well. All of Asad's fangirls were obviously jealous of her and she knew it. Soon everybody in the college knew about their relationship and the girls eyed Zoya with hatred in their eyes as if she had stoled something from them ,well she actually had. She had stolen their chance to become Asad's girlfriend. It was another day in college when she reached for her class with Asad and saw Tanveer sitting with Asad and almost falling on him as if she had no backbone and was able to sit just because of Asad's support. This mad Zoya's anger boil. She already disliked that girl because she had her eyes on Asad always. She got a little more closer so that she could hear the onversation between them.
"Asad tum bhi na pura din us Zoya ke saath kyun rehte ho? She is not even pretty. Look at me." she said shamelessly.
"Tanveer please. Behave yourself aur meri Zoya ke baare mein kuch mat bolo.Please yaahn se chali jao Zoya aati hi hogi mujhe uske sath baithna hai." said Asad who was already uncomfortable with her clinging onto him. He was just tolerating her nonsense because he respected girls and did not want to insult her but when she said mean things about Zoya he could not control himself and asked her to get away as politely as possible.
A smile adorned Zoya's face as soon as she heard Asad defending her but she knew Tanveer was not the one to be dealt politely. She had to intervene.
"Mai batati hu ki Asad mere sath kyun rehta hai." said Zoya with full on attitude. While seeing Zoya there brought a smile on Asad's face , tanveer was annoyed.
"Vo kya hai na Tanveer , Asad itna sweet hai ki vo tumhari insult bhi theek se nahi kar paa raha hai aur use apne jaise hi log pasand hai tumhari tarah mean nahi isi liye to vo mere sath rehta hai. Ab meri jagaah se utho mujhe baithna hai." continued Zoya with a victorious smile.
Tanveer felt insulted and got up from the seat when Zoya stopped her.
"Aree ek min Tanveer main tumhe ek chiz to baatn bhul hi gayi.Asad mere sath islie bhi rehta hai because I have a backbone and can sit on my own unlike you who probably lacks one." she taunted.
Tanveer just rushed out of the class now.Asad was smiling during the entire conversation but when he saw Tanveer rushing out of the class he burst out laughing.
"Tum bhi na Zoya kisi ko meri taraf dekhni bhi nahi deti.Isi vajah se meri fan following kam ho rahi hai." he joked.
"Shut up Asad. Mai mazak ke mood mein nahi hu." she said irritated.
"Choro na use Zoya. Uski baton par dhyan mat do. Acha ek baat bolu?" he asked.
"Bolo."
"I will not mind if you pretend that you dont have a backbone.If you know what I mean." he said cheekily.
This definitely brought a smile on Zoya's face and she blushed. "It will be better if I do not do so. Already tumhari fangirls ko tumhe mere sath dekh kar heart attack aa jata hai." she said teasing him.
"Who cares?" he said and gave her a side hug bringing her closer to him.
** Flashback ends **
She smiled remembering that. Today she did not have any hard feelings towards Tanveer but then it was young love. As it is said "Yaadein mithai ke dibbe ki tarah hoti hain ek bar khula to sirf ek tukda nahi kha paoge." just a few seconds later she was lost in yet another memory.
** Flashback starts **
Zoya had attended her last class and was looking for Asad. As far as she knew he had his last lecture an hour before her last. He did not reply to her message so she thought of calling him but before she could call she felt someone covering her eyes and taking her somewhere. She instantly recognised Asad's touch an asked him where was he taking her and Asad sushed her and continued walking holding her hand. After walking for about 1 minute he stopped and removed his hand from her eyes nut asked her to keep her eyes close. He then brought his other hand closer to her nose which had something in it. Zoya sniffed to smell it and immediately a smile lit her face.
"Aloo ke pakode." she screamed and opened her eyes. " Allah miyan! Asad I just love you so much."
"I love you too. Tumhara kal se man tha pakode khane ka aur mera lecture tumse pehle khatam ho gaya tha to maine soch tumhare liye jaake le aata hu." he smiled.
Although it was a small gesture but it made Zoya's heart swell with love.Love for him. He went so far in this scorching heat just to fulfil thi small wish of hers. She could feel tears of happiness surfacing in her eyes. This did not go unnoticed by Asad.
"Aree kya hua? tum rone kyun lagi? Ache nahi hain kya?" he asked concerned.
"Khaye bhi nahi hai abhi maine Asad. Tum bhi na." she laughed a little. "aur mujhe pata hai ache hi honge. Tum jo laye ho. Mai ro islie rahi thi because I am touched. Tum bohat ache ho." she said.
"Tell me something new.Yeh to sab bolte hain." he laughed earning a elbow hit from Zoya in his stomach.
"Ouchh."
"Chalo pakode khate hain." she said and they sat there feeding each other Pakode and sharing happiness and love.
** Flashback ends **
She wanted those days back and she knew this is possible only if she and Asad started afresh.She was lost in her thoughts when she heard a knock on her door followed by Asad's voice.
"Aao na Asad." she said.
ASad entered the room and sat beside her on the bed.
"Kaisi rahi presentation?" she asked.
"Bohat achi.Tumhe pata hai unhone bas 10 logon ko select kia hai ab vo log hi aage contract ke liye compete karenge." he said.
"Ye contract kya bohat important hai? Rehaan bata raha tha ki contract bohat bada hai." she asked.
"Han Zoya. Agar yeh contract hamari company ko mil jata hai na to hum pure world mein famous ho jaenge. We will flourish like no one else. I just hope mujhe yeh contract mil jae. Tumhe to pata hi hai na ki kaam mere liye kitna important hai." he said excitedely.
"Jaanti hu.Bohat ache se jaanti hu." she said sadly.
"Zoya mera vo matlab nahi tha." he said trying to cheer her up.
"Hmm..Rehaan ki presentation kaisi thi? Vo select hua h?" she questioned to change the topic.
"Uski presentation bhi bohat achi thi. He is selected. Zoya mai tumhare liye kuch laya hu." he said putting his hand in his pocket.
"Kya?" she asked surprised.
He brought his hand out of his pocket which now had a phone cover in it. Not just a phone cover it was a PINK phone cover.
"Allah miyan Asad! Tum yeh kahan se laye? Yeh to vahi phone cover hain na jo tumne chupa diya tha. Tum yeh yahan apnse sath leke aaye ho?" she questioned surprised at receiving such a gift from him.
"Vahi nahi vaisa hi phone cover hai.Vo vala ghar par hai. Par aapko aisa chahie tha na to mai market jake le aaya." he said with a little smile.
"Aur tumne mere phone ka model bhi dekh liya. Very observant han. By the way thank you so much. I lo..umm I mean thank you." she said covering up her statement. What was she going to say? It was just a slip of tongue although she didn't love him ofcourse. Not now atleast or this is what she thought.
Asad smiled at her almost confession. " Han. Your welcome and by the way I love you too." he said teasing her.
"Maine I love you kab bola?" she said embarrassed on getting caught.
"Abhi abhi , bola to." he said smartly.
"Kuch bhi mat bolo tum. Aur ye cover to tumhe pasand nahi hai fir kyun leke aaye." she changed the topic for the second time in this conversation.
"Tumhe pasand hai na islie aur mujhe tumhari har chiz pasand hai." he said looking straight into her eyes. She smiled at him and they were lost in the moment. They were brought out of their thoughts by somebody knocking on the door. It was Rehaan. He entered the room after Zoya asked him to come in.
"Aree acha hua tum dono yahin ho. Asad aj ki presentation mein to tumne kamaal hi kar diya. Sab log tumhari tareef kar rahe the. Tumhe pata hai Zoya vo foreign delegates isse bohat impressed hain. Is baar to lagta hai contract tum hi le jaoge hum sab to yahan bekaar aye hain. Ek minute kahin maine tum logon ko disturb to nahi kiya." he said all in a flow.
Zoya was still absorbing all the information given by Rehaan. She was surprised Asad had not told her so much details. This guy was really the best when it came to work. Since ASad saw Zoya lost somewhere he decided to answer Rehaan.
"Nahi Rehaan. Tumne hume bilkul disturb nahi kiya. Aur tum bekar mein meri itni tareef mat kro. As much as I want to get that contract tum mujhe jhaad pe mat chadao." he joked.
They talked for a while and then Asad took his leave making an excuse of sme important work. Soon Rehaan also left leaving Zoya alone with her phone cover which she loved even more because of the person who brought it for her.
**************************************************************
After few hours Zoya again heard a knock on the door. It was some staff of the hotel with a note for her. She opened the note and read it.
Hotel ke terrace par aa jao.
I am waiting.
Yours Asad.
She smiled excited for the surprise awaiting her. She rushed to the terrace as soon as possible.
"Asad kahan ho tum?" she called for him and tried to find the way in the dark. Suddenly the lights went on. The lighting was dim yet beautiful. It illuminated the terrace with yellow and blue colour. There was a table arranged in the centre of the terrace with a bunch of roses. Some parts of the terrace were still dark. She felt a pair of hands covering her eyes. "Mere sath chalo." Asad whispered.
