Love Will Find A Way!!! AsYa FF - **Updated Chapter 19** - Page 74

Asad was sitting in the makeup room getting ready for his play.

He was in thoughts, while Ayaan came, "Ready Bhaijaan??

Asad nodded his head, while Ayaan sat at the dressing table facing him.

"Why are you so tensed Bhaijaan?? Scared of the play??

"No.

"Then??

"I don't know how I should express my feelings to Zoya...do you think it's right?? Like should I go and tell??

"No need...I will go and propose her...okay?? Ayaan asked while Asad looked down.

"Bhaijaan!!! Ayaan shrugged Asad's shoulders, "I personally know that Bhaabhi too loves you...she too somewhere in her heart doesn't want this marriage to end...all she would want to hear is a yes from you...just give it a hit Bhaijaan!!

Asad looked at him, while Ayaan said, "Fine...I will go with your apprehension too...if at all she says no, at least you won't be guilt that you never attempted to share your feelings. Love never said is worse than love getting rejected!!

Ayaan raised his thumb up, and gestured a nod from Asad, while Asad nodded his head.

***

Meanwhile on the other room, Zoya was playing with her bangles and in thoughts, recalling Naani's words.

She then recalled her days with Zahir and her break-up with him, and how she vowed never to fall in love again.

Zoya placed her hands over her eyes and was confused on whether she should proceed with her latest feelings towards Asad.

The confusion riots were hurting her head and she looked at her reflection in the mirror.

"Okay Zoya...let's go with our old method of decision making...close your eyes and see what your heart is visualizing...!!

Zoya took a deep breath and closed her eyes:

"I thought you might like blueberry cheesecake Miss Farooqi!Asad extended with a slight smile, while Zoya had a wide smile looking at it.

-x-

"You need not panic about these 3 months at all. You can stay in this room, share my bed with no fear at all. I respect the conditions with which we had married and would not violate it or misuse my right as a husband on you...you can live as per your wish and be free as you were always...

-x-

"Mr. Khan, I am not a kid...and what would have happened if at all I got lost??

"I would have lost it then, Miss Farooqi!!

-x-

"Yeah Naani...that's why she is special to me...!!

-x-

"Come on Mr. Khan...you too make this room untidy...make yourself a sport!!Zoya said with a laugh, while Asad reluctantly threw the chips on the bed, and smiled looking at Zoya.

"You are crazy! Asad said with a light smile.

-x-

Zoya opened her eyes and saw her face glowing happily with a wide smile.

Just then she received a call from her University. Zoya took her phone, and cut the call shaking her head in denial.

"I am sorry...I can't leave my family!

Putting her phone down, Zoya walked out with a smile, as she heard Humeira calling out to her.

***

"That was an amazing show!!! Ayaan came and hugged Asad and Humeira hugged Zoya.

"Thank you so much both of you!! Humeira said with a smile, "You helped us get a good amount of fund for our NGO...thank you so much!!

"It's our pleasure... Zoya said with a smile as she looked at Asad too and exchanged a smile with him.

"Bhaijaan...one minute... Ayaan took Asad away, while Humeira was talking to Zoya.

"Bhaijaan...listen...we have a party now...you will have enough time with Bhaabhi...go and express your feelings...got it??

Asad looked at Zoya who was taking glances at him.

***

Zahir was sitting at the living room of his room and spreading his photos with Zoya on the floor and looking at it.

"Remember this day Zoya?? Zahir asked while arranging the photos in heart shape, "Today was the day when we entered into a relationship...a new phase...!!

Zahir said with a smile as tears fell down his eyes, "Remember those night drives...the way you shout at the top your lungs while I speed...

Zahir lied down on the floor above the photos, "I just can't forget all those Zoya...don't know when will Allah show you in front of my eyes...I can't wait to live those days once again with you...I know...once you see me, you will realize my love, forgive me and come running to my arms...after all we were in such a love!!

Zahir took one of Zoya's photos and put it inside a brown cover and smiled.

"Tomorrow I will give your photo to Asad and ask him to get information about you with the help of his contacts, Zoya...I know how much you must be suffering in my memories...soon our distance will reduce...isn't that what you must be wishing for Zoya?? I will make sure that it happens...my friend will help me!!

***

"I never thought I can love someone again after my first love Mr. Khan!!

Zoya said looking down, "I was in such a serious love for 4 years with him...and never thought someone could make me forget him and his memories...and never did I think I will fall in love with you Mr. Khan!! Maybe you were the one written in my destiny...!! I am ready to live by all your strict rules Mr. Khan!!

"Ma'am, drinks??

Zoya came out of her world and looked around and noticed that Asad hadn't come to her table yet. She smiled and took a drink from it, and the waiter left, while the music was blasting and couples were dancing on the dance floor.

Zoya had a sip and noticed a rare taste "Hmmm...something different...some new drink... Zoya had it, unaware that the waiter had offered her an alcoholic drink, just offering it to her without mentioning it was alcohol.

Asad reached the area and saw Zoya sitting there alone. He admired how cute she looked in the black saree; his favorite attire in which he can't even take his eyes off her.

He had a smile looking at her, and proceeded to her table. Zoya looked at him and smiled at him, moving back her hair strands.

"What are you doing here alone?? Asad asked sitting down.

"Just...I was...I was waiting for you Mr. Khan!

"For me?? For... Asad asked with slight expectation that maybe Zoya would help him in his attempt to express his feelings, and make things easier for him.

"You know Mr. Khan...well... Zoya looked down and looked away while she thought, "Allah Miyaa, what's wrong with me!! I was all prepared to talk...why am I stammering now...??

"Mr. Khan...

"Yes...Zoya...

"You know... Zoya took a few more gulps from her drink, and moved forward in her chair and said, "You know I wanted to do journalism so bad in NYU...That's why I even wanted to leave India soon...uhhh...

Asad was wondering listening that while Zoya thought, "What are you blabbering?? Don't beat about the bush Zoya!! Just tell it straight that you dropped it for him!!!

"Uhh...so now...the university is constantly calling me...and I...want to...

"Excuse me Bhaijaan... Humeira came there while Asad and Zoya looked at her.

"Sorry for disturbing...Baaji, she is Mrs. Khurrana Humeira introduced someone standing over, "She wants to meet you...just 5 minutes...

Zoya looked at Asad, while Asad nodded with a slight smile, and Zoya got up and walked to them.

Asad looked at Zoya and thought in his mind, "Okay...so Zoya wants to leave to New York soon now...which means...there's no point in me expressing my feelings now...I am not even a part in her life...

Asad had a dejected look and put his hand in his jeans pocket and took out a diamond heart pendant with a depressed face.

"I thought to gift this to you...but my horrible fate always wins the race!!

Asad got up from the place and walked away opening the door to the food area.

After some time, Zoya came back to the table and some other couple sitting there.

"Excuse me, my...husband was sitting here...where is he??

"When we came this table was empty Ma'am!! The guy at the table said, while Zoya looked around.

Zoya folded her hands in anger "Allah Miyaa!! What's wrong with Mr. Khan?? He just left while I was actually having a conversation with him?? That too without even telling me?? And he talks about badtameezi??

Asad was sitting at the counter chairs area distressed, while the waiter guy around was filling in cool drinks. Just then another waiter came up to the table, while the former failed to notice him taking away that tray, placing back the alcoholic drinks tray.

The waiter turned and continued filling new glasses, while busy talking with his fellow people.

He looked around and noticed Asad alone without any drinks.

"Sir...cool drinks please!!

"No need... Asad said in a stern tone.

"Sir, only you are not having anything...just have one drink Sir!

"I said you I don't want anything, can't you understand!!! Asad yelled at the waiter, while the waiter was giving him a confused look.

Asad took a glass which was alcoholic and drank in a gulp and had 2 more glasses and looked at him, "You are happy now?? Leave!!!'

The waiter walked off, while Asad held his head, "My mistake!!! I should have never taken Ayaan's words seriously!! She is just staying with me till her visa arrives...she said it clearly today that her studies are important and she wants to leave India soon...and I was sitting and dreaming of a life with her...like an idiot!!

Zoya came to the food section and saw Asad sitting there alone. She was feeling slightly dizzy, while she walked towards him in anger.

"Mr. Khan!!

Asad turned at her and looked down, while Zoya came closer to him, "Very nice Mr. Khan!! I was talking to you, and for 5 minutes I went to talk to someone and you just left?? Can't you tell me?? I was searching...

"Where will I go??? Asad shouted at her, "I will be here only yeah?? I don't want to go to New York or somewhere like you...so relax!!!

Asad walked away, while Zoya gave an unbelievable look.

"New York?? What did he say?? Mr. Khan!!!

Zoya rushed behind him, while Ayaan and Humeira saw Asad and Zoya walking out in a huff.

"They left so soon?? Ayaan asked, "And why do they look in a hurry??

"Maybe they want to have some private time at home...they might be finding this place full of disturbance...

"Whatever...as far as they are good, I am okay...well, you call up that Zahir...where did that idiot get lost?? Didn't even come to watch the play...call him!!

Meanwhile Asad stopped at his car, and saw that it was drizzling slightly.

Zoya too came out and shouted, "What are you thinking in your mind Mr. Khan??

"I am thinking to go home now...any problem?? Asad retaliated, "If you want, come with me...or leave it...I should get used to being without company anyways!!

Asad opened the door while he jerked feeling dizzy, and Zoya gritted her teeth and murmured, "Today I am not leaving you like this...you are going too much!!

Zoya shrugged her head trying to get a clear focus, and got inside the car.

***

Back at Ajmer, Dilshaad and her Ammi were staying in a room at a nearby residence quarters for the night, while Tanveer too was sitting there tending to her child. Najma was listening to songs and playing in her phone.

"Khala, I will go get water from outside...you want anything?? Tanveer asked standing up.

"No...nothing!

Tanveer walked out, while Naani said, "Dilshaad, this girl will never do any good for our family...I will never ever trust this girl...!!

Tanveer who walked till the corridor stopped, "I could have taken the water bottle too...so that for night, we will have enough water. Tanveer walked back to the room.

"I too know about Tanveer Ammi, but Asad is not letting me to do so...he is thinking about her child and asking me to bear with her. What do I do??

Tanveer who was standing outside, stopped there listening to it.

"Asad is too kind hearted Dilshaad. He won't understand. You listen to me...get a new flat or such for that girl and send her off from your home as soon as possible...that girl doesn't give me good vibes at all... Naani said to Dilshaad, while Naani added, "Till she is there, she won't let Asad and Zoya live peacefully...so do as I say...okay??

Dilshaad nodded her head, while Tanveer was outside listening everything, and her face slowly turned to a furious look.

She clutched the water glass and said, "Really?? As of now, I thought to wait till Asad's divorce...but now I will start my games even before that!! Playing games with Tanveer itself?? Guess no one likes me to reform!! You want me to get out?? Let's see if Tanveer gets out or Zoya gets out!!

***

Thunder and lightning tore apart the sky, while Asad's car stopped at a little distance from Khan Villa.

"This damn car!!! Asad hit the steering and got out, while Zoya looked at him and got out as well.

"It's a puncture... Asad said hitting the tyre, "All nonsense has to happen altogether only...

Zoya was looking at him amidst the rain.

"Home is near; we will walk and go... Zoya said, while Asad looked at her with a stern look.

"What?? Zoya asked looking at him.

"You want me to leave the car here?? Who will repair it?? The street people??

"You have a problem with whatever I say?? And why are you this grumpy to me all of a sudden?? Zoya asked in anger.

"Yes I am grumpy and an idiot!!! Okay??

Zoya shook her head in disbelief, "You have gone mad Mr. Khan!! Stand here only, while I am walking home...

Zoya walked forward, while her sandals tore and she fell down. Asad rushed to her and bent down to her.

"Are you okay?

Zoya pushed him and got up, "I am okay...I am not okay...why do you care??

Zoya walked forward removing her sandals, while Asad moved back his wet hair and walked back to his car and took out the keys, locking the car. He then followed her back home.

Zoya walked inside home and threw her sandals away in anger and tripped near the furniture too and composed herself. She sat at the sofa in anger, and pressing her temples.

Asad entered inside and locked the main door, and as he walked inside, he tripped at the sandals Zoya had thrown down.

"Can't you place the sandals at least in its proper place??

"And can't you speak at least for once kindly to someone Mr. Khan?? Zoya stood up and walked to him, "It's like you just want to eat me up alive...and find fault in everything I do!!!

Asad looked on, while Zoya asked him, "When you hate me this much, why do you speak nice things in between...why do you have this dual personality?? Sometimes you make me feel like a queen...and sometimes... Zoya shrugged her hands, "...like a cheap beggar!! Why are you playing with my feelings like this Mr. Khan?? Zoya asked grabbing Asad's drenched collar, "Why do you play with my damn feelings??

"Have you ever tried to understand my damn feelings Zoya?? Asad shouted taking her hands off his collar, while Zoya looked on.

"You know what a difficult time you always out me into...do you have the slightest idea?? I hate untidiness in my room; still I let you do it, why?? Asad asked walking forward, while Zoya walked backward looking through her tiring eyes.

"I literally lost interest in women after Tanveer's incident, but still I married you dammit!! Ever wondered why?? Asad screamed, while Zoya sat down at the sofa abruptly, with her leg hitting back.

Asad leaned down and said, "Divorcing me was your decision, and did you ever ask me if I too wanted it?? You want to go to New York leaving me and my family...did you ever ask me if I want that to happen?? Did you even bother to ask if I am okay with you leaving me?? Answer me Zoya!!!

Zoya was teary eyed and gave a shocked look at Asad, while he added, "No!! Divorce, your call, leaving to New York your call...how much it will affect me and my feelings is nothing for you!!! You know what...all ladies are selfish and self-centered only...be it Tanveer or you!! You don't care about our feelings only!! All women are the same!!!

"How dare you Mr. Khan!!! Zoya stood up pushing Asad back at the opposite sofa, "How dare you compare me with Tanveer??

Asad looked at her outburst while she added, "I am selfish...yeah?? That's why I rejected the damn offer from my university, right?? Selfish am I??? Asad looked at her with a stunned look, while both stared at each other in tears.

Asad stood up while Zoya added, "I asked for divorce...if you didn't want it, why did you agree then?? Why did you want to put up that mahaanta act?? So that you can taunt me like this?? Haan?? Answer me Mr. Khan?? Zoya asked pushing Asad on his chest, back in anger, while Asad looked on.

"I said you I want to do my masters in New York yeah?? If you didn't like it, you could have said it to me right?? Did you say anything?? And now I am fault!!! I am selfish!! How dare you!!!

Zoya pushed him back again, while Asad looked down, "You wanted to act great and did all these just to stand out as a mahaan and now you are blaming me?? You haven't done anything wrong? I just hate the mere sight of Tanveer at this home...especially when that woman talks to you, I just feel like burning her alive!!!

Zoya pushed the flower vase down in anger while Asad looked on, "Have you ever noticed that??? Haan...did you ever notice how much I hated her seeing with you?? You had time to notice all my faults, but couldn't see all this??

"My bad...my bad that I thought to start my life afresh with you... Zoya stopped at the spill of her words, while Asad heard that and looked at her dumbstruck, while Zoya looked at him with tears flowing in her angry face.

"So back to my question... Zoya came to Asad, "Tell me why did you all this?? When you hate me so much, what was the need to act good to me...when you didn't want me to leave...why did you agree to send me away?? When you don't wanna divorce me, why did you agree?? I need an answer right now!!! Zoya shouted as she pushed Asad, while Asad caught hold of her face.

"I didn't want all this to happen because I love you...and I still agreed for all this because I love you!!!! Yes that's you answer...I love you Zoyaaa!!!!

A thunder bolt mixed with lightning shut the lights off, while Asad's words echoed in that empty home and it was crackling louder than the sound of thunder.

Zoya looked at those intense teary eyes shining on the lightning.

Asad left the hold and walked to his room, while Zoya stood there in shock, while Asad's words still echoed in her ears.

Asad threw a diary on the floor and Zoya looked at it and then at Asad.

"This will explain all your answers!!

Asad walked to his room, while Zoya knelt down and took the diary and walked near the window and amidst her tired eyes she read the diary in which Asad had written all the events related to Zoya since his first meet with her, how much she affected him.

Tears fell on the diary as she read all those and she looked at Asad's room in tears.

Zoya ran to the room and opened the door and looked at Asad standing by the window clutching the curtain. He looked at her in tears.

Zoya looked at him as she cried as she recalled those lines from his diary:

"Everyone would want to marry the girl whom they love...but I am not able to love the girl who I have married too...and my husband right is not strong enough to make her love me too...

Zoya looked down and cried clutching that diary while Asad looked at her in tears as well.

"Even now I am not forcing you to love me Zoya... Asad said in a broken tone while Zoya looked up at him, "I just expressed my feelings to you...you can reject it too...but don't tell it in words...just walk off...I will understand...I myself will relieve you from...

Zoya walked to him and turned Asad towards her swiftly, while Asad looked at her, "Allah Miyaa, what's wrong with you Mr. Khan?? Zoya asked in a teary tone while Asad looked on.

"You always command me in everything yeah... Zoya said wiping her tears off, "Command in this too...that...love me Zoya...I don't have any reason to...reject your love...!

Zoya looked down telling it, while Asad blinked as his eyes shed off tears.

Asad moved towards her while Zoya looked at him, with a bolt of lightning filling that room.

Asad took his hand forward to cup Zoya's face. While Asad hesitated, Zoya hugged him tight along with a coinciding thunder, resting her face on his drenched torso.

"I won't go away from you Mr. Khan...don't let me move away from you too...make me yours Mr. Khan...close to your heart...!!! So that...I will never have to leave you!!!

Asad finally gave in his emotions and hugged her back passionately, and whispered, "I love you...!!

Zoya smiled as she hugged him and she whispered, "I love you too Mr. Khan!!

Asad and Zoya broke from their hug and Asad moved his fingers along Zoya's cheek as she closed her eyes in his touch.

"Maine khud ko de diya hai tujhko
Main tera...hoon tera...

Asad moved closer to Zoya while she stopped at the wall looking into his eyes with a slight smile. Asad kissed on her left eye while she clutched Asad's wet drenched shirt and smiled with a blush.

"Kaate na kate, leta hai ye karvaten
Din mera.. din mera...

Asad placed his hand on her waist and kissed on her right eye, while Zoya's hand moved upwards to Asad's collar, and her other hand on Asad's neck.

"Aa tujhmein bitaaun ratiyan
Dil dil ko sunaye batiyan
Aa tujhmein bitaaun ratiyan
O tu mujhmein kahin pe bas ja..

Asad then brought his lips closer to hers, while suddenly Asad moved back in hesitation and turned, while Zoya held his hand.

"Tune chuaa.. To main dhadakne laga
Dil ki dua.. Honthon pe rakhne laga

Zoya walked forward and stood in front of him, while Asad said looking down, "I don't want to forc-...

Zoya raised her heels up and kissed on Asad's lips, stopping his sentence, while Asad was unable to react to anything for some time.

"Tune chuaa.. To main dhadakne laga
Dil ki dua.. Honthon pe rakhne laga

Giving in to it, Asad held her face engulfing his fingers through her wet hair, and was lost in the kiss, while Zoya held Asad's shirt tight as it unbuttoned itself.

They broke their kiss and looked down without looking at each other, with their hands on hands.

"Aa tujhmein bitaaun ratiyan
Dil dil ko sunaye batiyan
Aa tujhmein bitaaun ratiyan
O tu mujhmein kahin pe bas ja...

Zoya walked around the bed with a smile and sat at the bed looking down with a blushing look, and turned back slightly and looked at Asad.

Asad walked towards her with his open shirt fluttering in the wind. He went and sat next to her and Zoya looked down taking deep breaths in that tension.

"Meri raahen.. Kadmon pe tere ruke
Ye panaahen... Sajde mein tere jhuken

Asad looked at the beauty of Zoya clad in that black sareee, in that night light and the lightning adding to her beauty in flashes.

"Maine khud ko de diya hai tujhko
Main tera tera hoon.. tera
Kaate na kate, leta hai ye karvaten
Din mera.. din mera...

Asad lifted Zoya and made her lie down, as both of their eyes never failed to even blink for a moment.

Zoya looked at Asad with a blushing smile, while he was lying next to her facing her with a smile, as she wrapped her arms over his neck. Asad smiled at her, as he pulled down the bed curtains, and buried himself into her.

"Aa tujhmein bitaaun ratiyan
Dil dil ko sunaye batiyan
Aa tujhmein bitaaun ratiyan
O tu mujhmein kahin pe bas ja...

Only the sound of thunder and flashes of lightning filled the room along with the shower of rain, while there was nothing else to interrupt that beautiful night.

***

Scroll for Precap...

"I have to talk to Zoya...I don't want her to accept this life only because of that night...I want to hear her heart out while in senses... Asad said looking at the diamond pendant in his hand, sitting at his office. On the other hand Zoya was sitting in front of the dressing table recalling that night.

"I have to express my heart out to him clearly...and tell him that I don't regret anything which happened last night...

Just then Zoya took her phone and started typing a message to Asad:

"I am going to the Mazaar at 1...I want you also to join me...can you join me?

Zoya smiled, "I am going to enter an exciting phase in my life...I need His blessings before I begin with it!

***

There was a group of people singing at an area near the Mazaar, while Zoya was waiting for Asad, and listening to it with a smile.

"Ye hai tera hi saudaayee, ye hai tera hi shahdaayee
Tere ishq mein hai isse mar jaana
Aaya tere dar par diwaana

Asad tied the kerchief around his head and parked his car, and reached there and he started walking inside and saw Zoya standing at the far end opposite to him. He had a light smile as he proceeded further. Zoya turned and looked at Asad walking towards her.

She looked down with a smile, and just then Zahir entered the road in the middle from inside the mazaar, and Zoya looked up and opened her eyes wide in shock looking at Zahir walking in front of Asad; her past overshadowing her present. Zahir looked up at and saw Zoya standing opposite him and couldn't believe his eyes, and had tears in his eyes with a smile.

"Aaya kis mod pe afsaana
Aa... Aa... Aaya kis mod pe mera afsaana
Afsaana mera afsaana mera

Zoya startlingly looked at both Asad and Zahir approaching at her with a smile, as her hands started trembling as she took two steps back.

***

So, how was this long and romantic update friends?? 😃 Asad and Zoya started off on a rough note and ended up in the most beautiful and amazing way they can...❤️ Both of them have blurted out all their hidden feelings and emotions to each other and have taken their relationship to the next level, with just the nature witnessing it...!! On the other hand Zahir and Tanveer are in no way planning to move away from Zoya and Asad's lives as well...

The precap might have brought you at the edge of your seats yeah?? 😉 Asad wants to hear everything once again from Zoya and doesn't want that night to be a reason for Zoya to stay back...and Zoya has no regrets on spending that night with Asad and is fully set to move on with Asad...but what will happen when both her past and present and walking towards her creating confusion in her future?? Will Asad come to know Zahir's love is none other than his wife? Will Zahir get to know Zoya is now Asad's wife? With both Asad and Zoya having consummated their marriage too, will Zahir's entry affect them now? Where will the crossroads of Zoya's life take her from this point??

I had to work a lot in that confession and consummation scene and hence the time...😳 And this Asad-Zoya-Zahir confrontation has been going on in my brains since long as I wanted that scene alone to speak for the stories of the three...and make it a symbolic scene...and thought to give it a divine touch with the song and Mazaar...hope you loved it!! Let me know your reviews, while I try to come back soon with the next chapter! And wishing all my readers Eid Mubarak! 🤗Stay blessed!!
