Love Will Find A Way!!! AsYa FF - **Updated Chapter 19** - Page 43

It was night and the Khan family was at the dining table, having their dinner silently.

Asad was taking glances at Zoya, while having his food, while Zoya was engrossed in her pizza.

"Bhaabhi, can't you survive a day without having pizza??" Najma asked giggling.

"I don't know why. Pizza is such an addictive food for me. I just can't live without it!!" Zoya said with a smile, and was trying to open her ketchup sachet.

"Well..." Dilshaad said controlling her laugh and wiping her mouth, "I think Zoya can manage living without Asad too, but not without pizza!"

Asad looked up at Dilshaad hearing it and looked at Zoya, who too just looked at him, and looked back abruptly into her pizza.

"What's her issue??" Asad wondered, "Why is she not even looking at me properly??"

"Ehemm..." Asad cleared his throat and looked at Zoya, who was least bothered about it, and nibbling with her ketchup sachet.

"Ehemm ehemm.." Asad cleared his throat a bit more louder and Zoya took the water jug and poured water into it. Asad had a slight smile seeing it.

He extended his hand, as she filled the glass, but was bewildered to find her having the water herself.

"Have some water, Asad." Dilshaad said handing over a glass of water.

Asad stared at Zoya and had the water. As kept down the glass, Zoya abruptly tore the sachet causing the ketchup to fall all over Asad's face.

Zoya opened her eyes wide in horror and exclaimed, "Allah Miyaa!!!!"

Dilshaad and Najma too stopped eating and looked into Asad's face for some time. Asad was closing his eyes and wiped off the ketchup from his eyes slowly and tried to open his eyes.

"I am so sorry Mr. Khan!!!" Zoya said biting the sachet and looking into Asad's face, while Asad was gritting his teeth looking at her.

"Asad, look here!" Dilshaad said and Asad looked at her with the ketchup all over his face.

"Mr. Khan!!" Zoya called and Asad looked at her, "I am sorry about this, but you know what, this red color suits your Zill-e-Illahi image!!"

"Zill-e-Illahi??" Dilshaad asked with a smile, "Asad, you have such a name too??"

Dilshaad and Najma started laughing hearing it and Asad stared at Zoya. Zoya bit her tongue and gave a silly smile at Asad.

Asad took out the tissues and wiped his face and walked off from there, while Zoya's eyes followed him till he entered the room.

"Zoya Bhaabhi, guess you are in for a good lecture tonight!! All the best!!" mocked Najma and got up from her place and Dilshaad too followed her.

"Lecture from Akdu Ahmed Khan again??" Zoya asked, "Allah Miyaa!! What's wrong with me?? Why do I always do some nonsense and give a chance for Mr. Khan to lecture me??"

Mumbling over it, Zoya continued having her pizza.

Later, Zoya came to her room and looked for Asad and didn't find him anywhere.

"Where is Mr. Khan??" Zoya looked around scratching her head and walked towards the washroom

Just then she heard a thud behind her. Zoya stopped suddenly and turned back and found someone's shadow with a jacket on him, and panicked.

"Allah Miyaa!!!" Zoya wondered, "Thief?? That too in Jahampanah Six Pack's home??"

The person peeped inside the room and Zoya stealthily took the table lamp stand from there and stood over there, thinking how to act.

The person came inside and Zoya rushed with the lamp stand and was about to hit on his head.

"Bhaabhiii...stop!!!!!" The person shut his face with his arms and bent down.

Hearing it, Zoya stopped a moment, and asked, "Bhaabhi?? You came to steal and you are calling me Bhaabhi too?? You idiot!! And why Bhaabhi?? I am not old too!!!"

"Offo!!! Bhaabhi, it's me!! Ayaan!!" Ayaan took off his cap and looked at Zoya.

"Ayaan??" Zoya asked, putting down the lamp stand, "What happened to your voice?? And why did you come this way..through the window??"

"Well, ice creams have played with my throat in a good way and my voice is changed a bit" Ayaan said rubbing his throat, "And I usually love coming this way to meet Bhaijaan, you know." He said and sat on Asad's couch and filled water in the glass over there from the jug, and started drinking it.

"You might have come like this before. But not anymore!!" Zoya said keeping her hands on her hip.

"But why??" asked Ayaan.

"Because I am telling!!" said Zoya.

"Ohh...yeah?? Who are you to stop me from entering my Bhaijaan's room??" asked Ayaan getting up and facing her with a smile.

"Who am I?? This is my husband's room!!! And being his wife, I have full rights to stop you from entering our room!!"

Ayaan smiled hearing it, and was happy to hear that from Zoya.

"Husband's room, haan??" asked Ayaan with a smile, "Sorry, I forgot that you are Mrs. Khan now!!"

Zoya gave a thoughtful look about it and noticed the slip of words, which had naturally come off her mouth, and that her mind has fixed Asad as her husband somewhere unknowing to her.

"Hello!!??"

Hearing Ayaan, Zoya looked up.

"Where are you lost Bhaabhijaan??"

"Well...nothing!"

"Alright Bhaabhi, I came to inform Bhaijaan about something. Well, where is he??"

"I don't know, even I am looking out for him only. He must be somewhere around. So, you tell me, what is it about?? I shall convey Mr. Khan."

"Cool. The thing is my college senior who is also my very good friend is getting married. So, he is throwing a party at his resort tomorrow night. It will be like a cocktail party. And I want you and Bhaijaan too to join in the party!!'

"Woww!!! Party!!!" Zoya exclaimed in a happy tone, "But, how can we both come for your friend's party...as uninvited guests??"

"Bhaabhi, Bhaijaan knows that friend very well. Tell him Rakesh Mehra, he will understand. So, you both are coming to the party tomorrow, okay??"

"But Ayaan..." Zoya was thinking and asked, "Will your Akdu Bhaijaan come for such parties??"

Ayaan laughed hearing it, "I don't know all that!! But you both are coming, I don't know how, but it's your responsibility to make him come!! That's it!!"

Zoya thought about it and smiled at Ayaan, "Alright!! I will do it!!"

"Fab!!! Alright Bhaabhi, I am leaving. See you tomorrow! Bye!! Allah Hafiz!"

Ayaan left from there and Zoya was smiling to herself, thinking that she would somehow convince Asad to attend the party, and went in search of Asad.

Meanwhile, Asad was at the terrace, thinking about Zoya's ignoring and odd behavior since that night and was still unable to take it so easily.

"Mr. Khan??"

Hearing Zoya's voice, Asad turned back and saw Zoya coming towards him.

"Allah Miyaa!! What's wrong with you Mr. Khan??"

"Why?? What did I do now??" asked Asad folding his hands.

"I accept that I should have opened the sachet carefully, and I apologized for it too yeah?? I can't believe that you are still angry about it and you are standing here in that anger!!"

"No..no. I just came here...just like that" Asad said scratching his temple.

Zoya was thinking, "Well, I will inform him about the party now."

"Zoya..." Asad called and Zoya looked at him.

"Well, I wanted to talk to you about something." Asad said walking towards her in small steps.

Zoya wondered, "Even Mr. Khan wants to talk to me something??"

"Yes Mr. Khan??" asked Zoya.

"Well...woh...actually..." Asad stammered, while Zoya rolled her eyes upwards giving an unbelievable look.

"May I know..."Asad stopped and hesitated to ask.

"May you know what Mr. Khan??" asked Zoya.

"That...well...why are you...why...why are you avoiding me??"

Asad couldn't believe he mustered up courage and finally asked it to Zoya, but Zoya on the other side was confused to hear it.

"I mean...from the day we came back from Delhi, you seem to be a bit uncomfortable with me, and I feel you are...ignoring me...So I just wanted to know if I had done something..."

"You are right Mr. Khan!! I am really angry with what you did with me!!"

Asad was shocked to hear it, while Zoya gave a stern look at him.

"What I did with you means...??" asked Asad.

"Yes Mr. Khan!! You have no idea how much you hurt me by doing it!"

"Listen Zoya!!" Asad said closing his eyes and wiping his face, "Please tell me clearly as in what I did??"

"What you did??" Zoya asked angrily, "Come with me!!!"

Zoya took Asad down the stairs, by holding his hand and they reached their room.

Zoya went to the cupboard, and Asad was standing over there, confused.

Zoya came to him, "See what you did Mr. Khan!!!"

Asad looked at Zoya's hand and saw her iPad screen completely broken and with a shattered glass.

"That night while you were sleeping, you pushed my iPad off the side drawer and broke it!! Look at the condition of it now!! And you expect me to forgive you so easily??"

Asad just kept looking at her with a still face, while Zoya was wondering why he was looking at her that way.

"What?? Have you become a statue??" asked Zoya, "What are you looking at??"

"I am just looking at how much lamer can you get!!" Asad said with an irritated face.

"Excuse me??"

"What then?? Are you serious, you were angry with me for this stupid reason??"

"Stupid reason???" Zoya exclaimed in anger and climbed on the bed, "Allah Miyaa!! What's wrong with you Mr.Khan?? You find such a big thing stupid??"

"Zoya, get off the bed!!" Asad ordered her.

"Why?? If this bed is so important to you, so is my iPad!" Zoya shouted.

"Zoya, all are sleeping and you are making a ruckus now!! Get down!!"

Asad held Zoya's hand and forced her to get down, while Zoya was pulling her hand back. In the struggle, Zoya was about to fall behind, while Asad caught her with both of them landing on the bed.

Zoya was on top of Asad, while Asad didn't expect that proximity all of a sudden and was feeling nervous to have Zoya on top of him, that too so close.

Zoya too, actually forgot what was happening some time back and just kept looking into Asad's eyes and she totally forgot the surroundings sometime, unknowingly getting drowned into that intense eyes.

Zoya's hair was lying over her face, and Asad gently moved her hair aside and tucked it behind her ear, and Zoya felt a tinge of current in her, with his touch.

Asad slowly, helped her get up and Asad too sat on the bed and made his shirt alright.

Zoya stood up and made her hair alright and was thinking what to speak, as she felt somewhat awkward to continue her argument after that proximity attack with Asad.

Asad too got up from the bed and gave awkward glances at Zoya.

Zoay suddenly remembered about Ayaan's arrival, and thought it was the best reason to break that silence.

"Well, Mr. Khan, I forgot to tell you something!!" Zoya said, "Ayaan had come here."

"Ayaan? He came home?? When??"

"Actually he came through the window as usual to meet you. The thing is, he came to invite us both for a party...in short a cocktail and dance party on account of your friend's wedding. His name..." Zoya tried to remember, "Yeah...Rakesh Mehra...he is throwing the party."

"Are you serious?? Dance party??" Asad asked with an unbelievable look, "Has he gone nuts, that he invited me for such a party??"

"Why Mr. Khan?? Why shouldn't he invite you??"

"Zoya, I don't go for such parties and such. It's not my kind. I will talk to Rakesh." Asad said sitting at the bed.

"So, why not you attend it for the first time and have an experience, Mr. Khan??"

"No, Zoya. I...I don't think I can..." Asad stammered, while Zoya sat opposite to him on the floor, and held his hands.

"Come on Mr. Khan!! Just try attending this party for me, please!!" Zoya pleaded, while Asad was out of words hearing her lovable request, "Trust me it's going to be fun...and I will show you what a fun place is this world to live in!!! I will show you the actual world!!!"

Asad looked at Zoya, and was thinking about it, while Zoya kept pleading to him.

"Please!! Please!! Please Mr. Khan!!!" Zoya pleaded, while Asad nodded his head.

"Fine, we will go!!" Asad said with a slight smile and Zoya too smiled at him happily hearing it.

Ayaan and Humeira were in a shopping complex walking around.

"I am getting really worried now!!! Not a single dress I got as per my liking to wear for the party!!" said Humeira in a tensed tone.

"Sweetheart, chill!! You will get an apt dress in some or the other shop and it will be..." Ayaan's focus went on a girl in shorts crossing his side and he said, "Beautiful!!"

Noticing Ayaan's break of sentence, Humeira looked at Ayaan and caught him checking out that girl and she whacked Ayaan with her hand bag.

"Oucch!!!" Ayaan rubbed his head and looked at Humeira.

"You are still the same haan???" asked Humiera with an irritated face, "Wait once you get engaged to me. I will show you who I am!!"

"That's why I am making use of this time properly!!" Ayaan said winking, and looking at Humeira's jealous face, he put his hand over her shoulder.

"Darling, you know what, I just love to see this jealous look in your face!!" Ayaan said pulling her cheek, "See, I know I love you and I am very loyal to you, but my eyes doesn't know that right??"

Humeira looked at him, "Really? I will ask my Abbu to check your eyesight!!"

Ayaan stopped suddenly, and Humeira turned back and looked at him.

"What happened??" giggled Humeira, "Got scared now itself??"

"Tanveer??" exclaimed Ayaan looking at a direction.

"Tanveer...where??" asked Humeira looking at the direction Ayaan was looking and saw her coming out of a garments shop.

"Tanveer...that too in Bhopal...again??" asked Humeira and she exchanged shocking glances with Ayaan.

Tanveer went off from their sight and they both were disturbed looking at her.

"Why is she back in Bhopal again??" Ayaan asked with a disturbed look.

"Who knows?? She must be back here to insult and cheat some other guy maybe!! Insensible creature!!!" Humeira vented out, "Let's go Ayaan, come!"

They both continued walking, but Ayaan didn't feel something right about Tanveer's comeback and feared if she would create a ripple in Asad's life again.

"Party??" Zahir asked on phone, as he was sitting in his cabin at the office.

"Yes Zahir" said Ayaan on the other side, "It's like my senior is getting married and he is throwing a party at his resort. There is going to be games, dance and so much fun!! And even Bhaijaan and Bhaabhi would be coming for it!"

"What are you saying?? Asad?? And parties??" asked Zahir with an unbelievable expression.

"Yes!!! The one and only Asad Ahmed Khan!!"

"Well...Asad is changing after his marriage, I guess."

"Lol...you can take it that way too. So, yeah, you are coming right??"

"I would love to, but I have some portfolios to proof read. So, I might take time to leave office. Even Asad has gone out to meet someone. So..."

"So what Zahir?? Finish your work and come to the resort directly! You didn't meet my Bhaabhi too yet yeah?? It will be a chance for you to meet her too. Come for it dude, it will be a blast!!"

"Well..." Zahir thought and said, "Alright dude!! Count me in!"

It was night and Zoya was getting ready wearing her earrings, when she saw Asad at the back of her through the mirror, as the latter was looking into his mobile.

"Allah Miyya!!! What's wrong with you Mr. Khan???"

Asad closed his eyes, hearing the scream and looked at Zoya, "Your Aapi and Jeeju never taught you to talk like a normal person??"

"Excuse me??" Zoya asked and came to him, "Why?? What's wrong with my talking??"

Zoya stood with folded hands staring at Asad, while Asad didn't forget to admire her in that chocolate brown full sleeve party gown, and noticed that she looked like a queen in it.

"Mr. Khan??!!" Zoya waved her hands and brought him back to his senses.

"Tell me, what is wrong with my talking??" asked Zoya.

"Leave that, you won't end the topic now!!" Asad said, "And by the way, why did you scream that way??"

"Then what do you expect me to do Mr. Khan??" asked Zoya and brought him in front of the mirror.

"What is this??" She asked showing towards the mirror.

"Mirror, what else??" asked Asad looking at the mirror.

"Einstein Ahmed Khan!!" murmured Zoya and looked at him, "That even I know!! I am asking you, what are you wearing??"

Asad looked at himself, neatly dressed in his formal suit piece.

"Why?? What is wrong with this??" asked Asad.

"Mr. Khan, we are going for a party and not some business conference!!" Zoya said and walked to Asad's wardrobe, "I will get you the proper type of dress to wear for the party, wait!!"

Dilshaad was sitting at the living room when Zoya came to her.

"Ammi!!" called out Zoya and Dilshaad turned to look at her beautifully dressed.

"Arey waah Zoya!!" exclaimed Dilshaad, "You look breathtakingly pretty today!!"

"Thank you Ammi!! But Mr. Khan has outsmarted me today!!" Zoya said with a smile.

"What are you..." Dilshaad stopped her question, as Asad opened the door and looked at him with shocking surprise, while Zoya smiled looking at Dilshaad's reaction.

Zoya does her dance amazingly on the dance floor and Asad admires her beauty and dance, while Ayaan pushes him too on the dance floor to join her.

***

The friends give a wedding speech for Rakesh and Asad and Zoya are seated in the front row along with Ayaan and Humeira. Zahir reaches late to the venue and sits next to Zoya unaware of the fact that it's her, while Zoya is sitting with Asad on her left and oblivious to Zahir sitting to her right.

***

Someone knocks the door late night at Khan Villa and Dilshaad finds Tanveer at the door and is shocked at her arrival.
