So, here I come with an update with some thrilling moments and hope you like it. 😊
Part 19:
It was morning, and everyone was at the dining table for lunch, while Ayaan was just nibbling with the roti in his plate, lost in thoughts.
"Bhaijaan" called out Najma to Ayaan in a low tone, "What happened to you?? Why are you so silent??"
"Nothing. You eat" said Ayaan and brushed off Najma's question, while Najma didn't understand the reason behind Ayaan's gloomy behavior.
"It was a very good party yesterday. I must thank Razia Bi and Haseena Bi for organizing this party" said Dilshaad looking at them.
"What is there to thank Dilshaad??" asked Razia, "We both couldn't attend the wedding and we wanted to compensate for that. That's it."
"But we are glad we did it. Everyone had a chance to see Asad's beautiful wife" said Haseena smiling at Zoya, while Zoya smiled modestly and looked at Asad who reciprocated a brief smile at her. Asad was tensed with the message note he received last night, but just kept it to himself.
Later after some time, at the office, Zoya was in her cabin, while Rashid came to the office.
"May I come in Ma'am?" asked Rashid, knocking Zoya's cabin door.
"Yes..." said Zoya and looking at Rashid she stood up, "Abbu!! Please come. You are asking permission??"
Rashid came in smiling and said, "This is an office Zoya and here I have to give you the respect of your position."
Zoya and Rashid both of them sat down, while Tanveer came in.
"Zoe...I have shown..." She stopped looking at Rashid and came to him, "Hello Sir!! I am sorry, I didn't notice you."
"That's okay Tanveer. Well, you still call her Zoe only??" asked Rashid with a playful smile.
"Sir, I started calling her Ma'am, but she has given me clear instructions not to call her like that. What do I do??" asked Tanveer, while Rashid smiled looking at her and Zoya.
"Anyways, I shall come later Sir. You please carry on. Sorry for interrupting!" said Tanveer, while Rashid called back to her.
"No Tanveer, you may also stay. This is related to our company only" said Rashid and Tanveer stood there.
"What's the matter Abbu??" asked Zoya.
"Well, one of my ex-colleague's son, approached me for a job in our company. He had been working in Delhi and now he has shifted to Mumbai. So, I have decided to appoint him in our company as Zoya's assistant" said Rashid.
"Sir" called Tanveer, "He is really your ex-colleague's son only right?? Or are you cooking up story as with Asad Sir??"
Rashid smiled hearing it and Zoya too smiled at her.
"Hahaa" laughed Rashid, "No Tanveer. He is really my ex-colleague's son only. Asad has you as his personal assistant now and you aid him in all his work, since Zoya has become the JMD now. Just like that, even if Zoya has somebody, it would be easy for her too right?"
"Alright Abbu" said Zoya, "As you wish."
"Cool. And well..."stopped Rashid, as he got a call. He attended the call, and stood up after the call.
"Well...I have to leave now Zoya. My friend has come from New York and he is home now. So, meet you at home. Inform Asad too haan. Bye!!" said Rashid while Zoya too nodded at him in agreement.
Meanwhile in college, Ayaan was sitting at the steps at the corridor, while Humeira saw him, while coming out of the class. She walked to him with a smile and sat next to him.
"Heyyy!!!" said Humeira as she sat next to Ayaan. Ayaan looked at her and smiled and continued looking down.
"Why are you sitting alone here??" asked Humeira, while keeping her bag aside.
"Nothing. Just like that" said Ayaan without looking at her.
"Ehemm.." Humeira cleared her throat and moved little closer to Ayaan, "You said me you are going to give me some surprise after the party gets over right?? What happened?? Forgot huh?"
Ayaan recalled how he had planned to give her the letter and propose her that night, and closed his eyes in despair.
"Ayaan!!" called out Humeira and Ayaan took his bag and put it over his shoulder.
"Humeira, I have to go for basketball practice. Sorry, we shall talk later" said Ayaan and left the place, while Humeira kept looking at him going, and stood confused at Ayaan's gloomy reaction at her.
It was evening and Asad and Zoya were on their way back home.
"Asad!! Stop stop!!!" shouted Zoya, causing Asad to halt the car abruptly.
"What's wrong Zoya??' asked Asad turning at her.
Zoya got down out of the car and went to Asad's side of the car and opened Asad's door.
"Come with me" said Zoya.
"But where??" asked Asad.
"Areeyy...come!!" said Zoya as she pulled out Asad from his seat and Asad closed the door, and went with Zoya crossing the road. Zoya entered a garments showroom and Asad followed her.
"Why have we come here Zoya??" asked Asad slipping his shades in his shirt.
"To watch a movie" said Zoya and turned at him with an unbelievable look, "Asad, why do we come to a garments shop?? To buy dresses."
"But" said Asad as he looked around, "This is gents section Zoya."
"Yeah because we have come here to get dresses for you" said Zoya.
"Me?? But I have..."said Asad while Zoya interrupted him.
"Oh God!!! How much buts' Asad?? Just come with me" said Zoya and they reached the shirts section and Zoya started going through the shirts, and took out a black shirt and then took a blue jeans too and came to Asad and gave to him.
Asad looked at it and looked back at Zoya, "What is this??"
"You don't know what is this?? Wear this and show to me" said Zoya while Asad gave a boggled look at her.
"Zoya, I don't wear such shirts and jeans nowadays" said Asad, while Zoya folded her hands in the front and looked at him.
"Why?? You have turned 40-50??" asked Zoya.
"Not that. But, after joining the company as M.D I stopped wearing such dresses" said Asad.
"Okay. You wear formals while in office. But why always?? When you are home or you are out with family, wear such dresses" said Zoya, while Asad still gave a disagreeing look.
"I miss that sporty Asad whom I had known during my college days" said Zoya and Asad looked up at her, "Where is that Asad who was all stylish and where is his passion for which girls used to go crazy?? Come out of this bored personality of yours. And if I am the reason for this change of yours, from that passionate Asad to gloomy Asad; I would like to be the reason for your change back from the gloomy Asad to the passionate Asad too. Won't you do that for me??"
Asad was out of words listening to that, and Zoya signaled him to go the trial room and Asad too complied and went in. Zoya smiled, and waited outside going through other shirts.
After some minutes, Asad called out to Zoya and she turned at him and stood in awe as she looked at him from toes to head, dressed in the black shirt and blue denim jeans with his shades on. She came to him and stood with a taken aback look.
"How is it??" asked Asad.
"Out of words!!" said Zoya, as she smiled at him.
Asad turned back to go, while Zoya stopped him.
"Wait!! Don't change. Come home like this only" said Zoya.
"Like this??" asked Asad with a shocked face, "Zoya, all will give me weird looks."
"So what?? Please come like this for me. Please!! I have selected some more shirts and jeans for you. Let's pay and go home. Come!!" said Zoya as she dragged him with her.
They went to the car, and as Asad was about to start the car, Zoya caught his hand.
"Listen" said Zoya, "I want you to go to another place now."
"Again??" asked Asad, "Now what??"
"It's another surprise for you. Hopefully it must be ready by now. Let's move, I shall tell you directions" said Zoya, while Asad nodded his head, thinking what all is she planning to make him do next.
At Khan Mansion, all were engaged in their usual activities. Haseena was eating and watching TV, Razia was talking to someone on phone and Ayaan and Najma were at the basketball court, with Ayaan playing and Najma sketching something.
Ayaan was trying to throw the ball in basket, but failed each time.
"Bhaijaan, what happened to you?? It's so shocking that you are not able to basket a single ball. Where is your concentration??" asked Najma.
"Just feeling a little low Najma. Nothing else" replied Ayaan, tapping his ball to the ground. Najma kept her sketch book aside, and came to him and caught his hands and slanted her head towards his shoulder.
"Don't be like this Bhaijaan. I like my Ayaan Bhaijaan always happy and cheerful. Whatever it is, please be cheerful for my sake. For your chotti!!" said Najma with a puppy face looking at him.
Ayaan smiled and cupped her face and gave her a peck on her forehead.
"Anything for you my sister!!" and they embraced affectionately. Just then a light flashed at them and they looked at the entrance. They saw a bike stopping there.
"Who is that Bhaijaan??" asked Najma trying to look through the dark.
"Wait...I can see Bhaabhi getting down. Why has she come with some stranger in a bike?? Where is Bhaijaan??" asked Ayaan looking over there and shouted, "Bhaabhi!!!'
Zoya turned looking at them and went towards them alone.
"Haan Ayaan??" asked Zoya. "Who is that?? Where is Bhaijaan??"
"Ohh!! One minute" said Zoya and she turned back, "Come here na!!"
Ayaan and Najma peeked over there and as the person was getting nearer, their eyes widened in shock and their mouths opened wide in awe.
"Bhai...jaaan!!!!" exclaimed Ayaan and Najma in unison.
"Haan Bhaijaan!" said Zoya smiling, while Asad gave an embarrassed look at them both.
"What is happening?? Asad Bhaijaan in shirt, jeans and riding a bike!!!" exclaimed Najma.
"How is it??" asked Zoya.
"It is really amazing. Good to see our Bhaijaan like in his college days. Good going Bhaii!" said Ayaan, while Asad smiled and went in with Zoya and Ayaan and Najma too followed them in.
Dilshaad was arranging the dishes from the kitchen and Asad went to her.
"Ammi, dinner is ready??" asked Asad.
"Haan beta, almost..." said Dilshaad as she stopped her sentence, looking at Asad's change-over.
"Areyy waah!!! Who am I seeing???" asked Dilshaad with a smile and looked at Zoya, "Your influence??"
Zoya nodded her head smiling, and Dilshaad pulled Asad's cheeks.
"Now you look like my laadla Asad!!" said Dilshaad and went in smiling.
"By the way Bhaijaan, what about the new bike??" asked Ayaan.
"Zoya got it for me. To use it during personal outing" said Asad and looked at Zoya.
"Waah Bhaabhijaan!! Nice!!" commented Ayaan, while Zoya smiled and went to her room. Ayaan and Najma took Asad with them to the living room, while Asad took glances at Zoya and Zoya too smiled at him while going to her room.
Next day at office, Zoya was working in her system, when the security came in.
"Ma'am Sahab!!" He called out and Zoya looked at him.
"Yes???" asked Zoya.
"This bouquet has arrived for you" said the security and handed it over to Zoya and he took his leave.
"Bouquet??" said Zoya and looked around and saw it was of pink roses, "My favorite pink roses!! Well, who has sent this??"
She turned around and saw a note amidst the roses. She took it out and it read:
"These roses are definitely not as lovely as you, but still they add to your beauty. Thanks for everything!! - Love, Asad"
Zoya blushed reading it and smiled looking down.
"Not bad. You are slowly coming back to that old Asad haan??" said Zoya and she took the bouquet and walked out and went to Asad's cabin.
"Asad!!" called out Zoya and Asad excused from his phone call and saw her with a bouquet in her hand.
"Asad, if you wanted to give this bouquet, you could have given me directly, telling those words right?? Why all this courier and such??" asked Zoya with a smile, while Asad stood up with a confused look.
"I...this bouquet..." stammered Asad, while Zoya went forward and hugged him.
"Whatever it is, thank you so much. I am happy that you still remember what I love!!" said Zoya and Asad reciprocated the hug. Zoya went from there smiling, while Asad sat back at his chair with confusion and questions clouding around him.
"Bouquet??? I never sent any bouquet to her. What is she talking about??" asked Asad to himself and he decided to enquire about it.
Asad went to Zoya's cabin and didn't find her there. As he was about to return, he saw the bouquet at the table. He went to it, took it in his hand and saw the note. He was taken aback reading it, and looked at the bouquet. He kept it back in his place and stormed to his cabin and slammed the door behind him.
"Who is this???? Who is stalking Zoya and testing my patience??? Days back that note, today this bouquet...Who the hell is playing around with me??" shouted Asad as he sat down at his chair and wiped his face with his hands,
"Whoever you are, keep in mind!! You are playing around with Asad Ahmed Khan, and that too using that person as a pawn, who means everything to me!! If I catch hold of you, it will be your end!!!"
It was night and Asad was sitting the garden lost in thoughts, when Saima came there looking out for him. She saw him and walked to him.
"Asad" said Saima as Asad turned towards her, "What happened?? Aysha said me you called for me."
"Haan Saima" said Asad, "I am in a very bad mental state now. And as always, I expect that you would bring a solution for that."
Saima looked at him, and Asad narrated the entire stalking incident, right from the encrypted message to the bouquet. Saima was tensed listening to it.
"This is something serious Asad" said Saima in a tensed tone, "This person can be dangerous too. We have to stop him at any cost."
"But how Saima?? I don't have any clue about him, other than these incidents" said Asad.
"Well, have you spoken to Zoya about this??" asked Saima.
"No. I don't think she must know this at this point of time. It will just lead to unnecessary tensions and she will lose her peace completely. So I thought it would be better if I deal with this alone, and you always give me wise ideas. That's why I am telling it to you" said Asad.
Saima walked in little steps, analyzing about what Asad said.
"Tell me this, what was written in the note exactly??" asked Saima and Asad said those messages to her.
"Hmmm..." said Saima thinking, and suddenly widened her eyes with something striking her mind.
"Asad, I have got two clues from what you said till now" said Saima and Asad looked at her, "Number One: That person knows you and Zoya very well, means, he is not a stranger or someone who has popped up from somewhere in a blue moon day. Number Two: There are high chances that he has loved Zoya and he wants to get her back in his life now!!"
Asad was stunned hearing it and agreed with her points as well.
"So, what I think is, this person can be someone who loved Zoya in her college days, or someone who Zoya might have..." said Saima, while Asad interrupted him, "No Saima. Zoya hasn't loved anybody in her college days and I can assure that."
"Okay, then my first assumption should be the case. It's someone who is obsessed with Zoya. Someone who wants to get her back in his life" said Saima, while Asad was thinking the possible persons in that case.
"Well Saima, this matter must be only between us both. No one else must know this, especially Zoya" said Asad and Saima nodded her head in agreement and as she turned, she saw Zoya standing there.
Saima was shocked and looked at Asad and he too was confused thinking if she would have heard everything.
"What are you both doing here??" asked Zoya.
"Uhh...nothing, just like that...Saima, we will talk later" said Asad and signaled her to go, and Saima gave a brief smile at Zoya and walked off, and Zoya looked back at Asad and came to him.
"What were you talking to Saima alone, here at this time Asad?? Anything important??" asked Zoya in a suspicious tone.
"No...I...it was just a random talk. See you at dinner" said Asad and he walked in, while Zoya was venting out her anger.
"I guess, I will have to do something about this meeting of Asad and Saima soon. And what is that Asad wants to talk to her secretly which I must not know??" asked Zoya, as she had heard the last line which Asad had said to Saima.
Determined, Zoya walked inside the home.
Precap: Zoya goes to confront Asad about his secrecy these days with her in his cabin at office, but it is shockingly interrupted by Zoya's newly appointed secretary's arrival, which turns out to be Rohit. Tanveer and Mehwish sense a disturbance in Asad and Zoya, and they come to know that this Rohit is the same guy who was the reason of Asad and Zoya's breakup years back. Tanveer and Mehwish, seeks help to Ayaan, Najma and Humeira and decide to explore Rohit's flat, once he is out and try to get clues. On the other hand, Asad and Zoya have a heated up argument regarding Saima and Rohit, which ends up in Zoya leaving to Shireen's home at the middle of the night.
