Part 13 - last part
Anwer & zeenat reached Bhopal a day before to humeira's operation. As zoya's foster parents they knew zoya was very much tensed for Humeira. Also the hearing of the doll factory case can be in this week itself. They wanted to be there for zoya. Zoya was happy to see her API & jiju. So as Humeira. Haider had introduced anwer & jiju to his badi ammi & bade abbu through skype. Sikhander & Nazeen will be coming to Bhopal this weekend. They thanked anwer & zeenat whole heartedly for taking care of zoya & loving her all this 20 yrs. they also requested them to send zoya to Dubai for few days as they wanted to spent some time with there grand daughter. Anwer & zeenat agreed.
Zoya had informed about her & asad's relation to anwer & zeenat. They were really happy that zoya had found her true love that too asad.
On humeira's operation day two people were extremely tensed. Zoya & Ayaan. The entire family was there waiting impatiently outside the operation theater praying for humeira's health. After long 6 hours operation was sucessfully finished. Once when Humeira has been transferred to post op ot zoya went & met her. Humeira was still unconscious. Doctor has informed that since it's a major operation Humeira can been discharged only after a week.
After 24 hrs of observation Humeira has been transferred to room. Zoya was happy that she can be with Humeira. Last day when Humeira was in post op ot she was in the corridor. Asad couldn't leave her alone like that. So he too was with her for the whole night. In the morning zoya forcefully sent him back to KV as he is tried. Since Ayaan came there asad left. Asad & zoya had discussed about ayaan's feelings towards Humeira. Both of them wanted him to open up in front of them himself.
Humeira was upset seeing her scar from her chest to neck.
Humeira: API see this big scar isn't it too ugly?
Zoya: no Humeira after sometime it will fade. Don't worry.
Ayaan who was coming to meet Humeira heard her worries.
Ayaan: Humeira begum what's there in a scar? It will fade after sometime as Mona said don't worry.
Humeira: really? It will fade?
Zoya: ha beta. After sometime it will fade.
Ayaan: Mona before you leave to KV I wanted to say something important. Since you are humeira's elder sister I wanted to ask humeira's hands from you.
Humeira was shocked. Whereas zoya was smiling.
Zoya: finally raabart you spoke up. I am so happy for both of you.
Ayaan: so you knew it?
Zoya: of course raabart! It's obvious. And about Humeira I knew she loved you for a long time.
Zoya explained how she helped a nervous Humeira in the college annual function who wanted to impress Ayaan by doing fashion show. Humeira was suprised to know it was zoya who was the girl in burgha who helped her on the day of fashion show. Ayaan felt guilty for avoiding humeira's feelings. Zoya left to KV to get dinner for Humeira & to freshen up herself. Zoya was truly happy for Ayaan & Humeira but humeira's scars reminded her about her burn scars. She never shared it with asad. She doesn't want to hide it from him.
Once when she went to KV after freshening up & spending some time with her family she decides to meet asad in his room. As usual she barged in asad's room. Instead of shouting at zoya for not knocking asad was happy. But he could notice zoya's tension. He cupped zoya's face.
Asad: zoya what's the matter? Why are you so tensed?
Zoya didn't say anything. Instead she wrapped up her right sleeves. Asad was astonished to see her dark burned scars from right shoulders to the elbow. Now it us clear for him why zoya always wore full sleeves. Even her night dresses are full sleeves. Asad always used to wonder even though she wore jeans she used to cover her body completely.
Zoya: this is a part of me that I can't erase. Since when I had my memory I had these scars. I only knew it was related to my ammi's death. I never showed it to anyone. I always covered it. This scars reminds me of my ammi. Because of which I never wanted to take any treatment for it.
Zoya had tears. So as asad.
Asad: it doesn't matter zoya. Even with these scars you are so beautiful. You don't have to cover it anymore.
Zoya cried & hugged him. He too hugged her back.
After 2 days
As Nawab Sikandhar Sheik & Begum Nazeen was coming to Bhopal zoya had to go to airport along with haider to receive them. Humeira has asked her to spent some time with them & return only in the night. Ayaan had volunteered to be with Humeira for the whole day. Zoya was happy seeing ayaan's concern towards Humeira. She happily left the love birds.
In the airport
It was haider & zoya who went to receive Sikhander & Nazeen. Once they arrived they were over whelmed to see zoya. They both hugged her & blessed her. Both were guilty as 23 yrs back when zainab informed that she delivered a baby girl they didn't turn up for there daughter & grand daughter. They were angry with zainab for choosing a guy of her own wish & marrying him. They only sent her share & avoided her completely. Even when zubida ( haider's mom & zainab's elder sis) informed them that they are in Bhopal 20 yrs back they didn't want to meet her. But turning back they felt if only they took zainab with them when zubida informed about zainab & zoya 20 yrs back zainab would have been alive today. Also iman & zubida. In the car both Sikhander & Nazeen made zoya to sit in between them. Zoya being a chatter box kept on & on chatting with them. She became close to them so soon. They both could see zainab's shadow in zoya. Difference is zainab was silent where as zoya is a chatter box. Zainab was traditional where as zoya was modern.
Once when they reached KV they personally thanked anwer & zeenat for bringing up zoya as a wonderful person. Also they thanked dilshad as zoya had mentioned about her loving phupi. Dilshad wanted to talk them about asad & zoya's nikkah. But she thought as Humeira is zoya's sister her presence too is important. Once when she returned back from hospital they could present the matter. Also she wanted rashid's presence as he is asad's father. Evening when zoya went to hospital the sheik family too accompanied with her to meet Humeira. They blessed her & also asked her to consider them as her grand parents like zoya.
Two days later
Today was the court hearing of doll factory case. Zoya had to attend court. Zoya's & haider's DNA sample had taken in between & they had been matched with zainab's. Also they have matched zoya's DNA sample with gaffour's to clear that gaffour is the biological father. Shireen had volunteered herself to be with Humeira as zoya had to attend court. Except shireen & Humeira all the others had attended the court. All evidences are against gaffour & razia. After the prosecution court had declared life long imprisonment for gaffour & razia. Also court declared to handover zainab's Skelton to her family so that she can be crimination can done according to the rituals.
That day itself they criminated zainab with all rituals. Zoya was too shattered. Her ammi! She was brutally murderd & 20 yrs she had been denied justice. It was same with Nazeen & sikhendar. Somehow they couldn't stop blaming themselves for abandoning there daughter which finally led to her brutal murder. Zainab's murder indeed affected zubida's life too. Along with zainab they lost zubida too. Asad consoled zoya & he let her cry out her heart. After the crimination zoya left to hospital. She wanted to be with Humeira. If she stay back in home only she will be thinking about zainab.
After 2 days
Humeira was finally getting discharged today. For the past 2 weeks she was spending in hospital. She was happy to go back. Doctor have advised diet & rest for Humeira. Since zoya wanted to take care of Humeira she decided to stay back with her in sm. Along with the farooqui's & sheik family asad & dilshad too accompanied zoya & Humeira to sm. Dilshad was planning to present about asad & zoya's nikkah in front of zoya's family. Dilshad had discussed about this with rashid, shireen & badi bee. They too were happy as asad found his true love. Zoya is gem of a person. She will make a perfect match for asad.
Once when Humeira came to sm shireen did nazar utharal for Humeira & she whole heartedly welcomed every one. She brought juice for Humeira & tea for others. Once every one was having there tea dilshad thought to present about asya's nikkah in front of every one.
Dilshad: since zoya's grand parents, parents & siblings are here I wanted to discuss something important.
Every one looked at her curiously.
Dilshad: from the day zoya came to KV I really like her. She is just like my najma to me. KV became a home after her arrival. She spread light in our dark life. She also break the wall between two families. Asad & zoya like each other. I always wanted my asad to settle down in his life. If zoya comes into his life I will be the most happiest person. I am asking zoya's hands for my son. Can you give your zoya for my son?
By this time every one knew about asad & zoya.
Zeenat: I always wanted my zoya to get married & settle in her life. Since she found her true love I am really happy for her.
Anwer: me & dilshad appa are cousins from childhood. I am very happy to sent my zoya with my dilshad appa's son. What's your opinion?
Anwer turned towards Sikhander & Nazeen.
Sikhander: if zoya & asad loves each other then we are happy to conduct there nikkah.
Sikhander & Nazeen always had the guilt for not accepting zainab's wish. Through zoya they are paying back that debt through zoya.
Since zoya's family had accepted for asad & zoya's nikkah they decided to conduct nikkah this week itself as zoya has only 1 more week's visa in India.
Since zoya is staying back in sm with Humeira the sheik family & farooqui family shifted to the out house of sm. They wanted to be with zoya before her marriage.
Night
Humeira cuddled towards zoya & was sleeping peacefully. Sleep was far away from zoya. After 4 days she is getting married to her love. She had called asad in the night. But as usual he was immersed in work. This made zoya extremely angry. After all she is his fianc. When her mobile beeped she saw it was a message from asad.
Come to terrace!
Zoya murmured to herself: has he gone mad? He is messaging me as if he is in terrace. Why should I go?
But zoya couldn't stop herself from going to terrace. She was surprised to see asad there.
Zoya: what are you doing here?
Asad: I came here to meet my fianc. Kyun! Few hours before you were dying to be with me.
Zoya faked anger. Asad smiled. He went towards her & pulled her towards him. He took her to the mat which was neatly spreaded.
Zoya: this mat? How did you entered inside?
Asad: Ayaan helped me.
Asad gave the pizza box & coke to her. Zoya happily opened it. Both asad & zoya fed each other with pizza. After having pizza they both lied down. Zoya was looking at beautiful starts in the sky.
Zoya: it's a beautiful night
Asad: so as you.
Zoya: you know Ayaan proposed Humeira
Asad: I know he told me
Zoya: Humeira wanted to do msc after completing her bsc in interior designing. She wanted to to do interiors in siddiqi constructions after her pg.
Asad: it's a good thing zoya. Let her study. Both Ayaan & Humeira are too young to get married. They are only 23 & 20yrs of age. Ayaan too should properly settle down. We can think about her marriage after 3 or 4 yrs.
Zoya: Ayaan is not interested in construction business. He wanted to open a bike show room. If elders oppose you will support him na?
Asad: of course zoya.
Zoya: after nikkah will you take me to Dubai & New York? I wanted to spent some time there with my family.
Asad: only Dubai & New York? I thought you will ask me for a whole month Europe trip.
Zoya: I am not a spoiled brait
Zoya pouted. Asad kissed on her cheeks.
They both chatted for some more time & then both slept of in each other's arms.
Next day morning
It was asad who woke up in the morning first. He saw zoya sleeping peacefully in his arms. He kissed on her forehead.
Asad: wake up princess! It's morning. Get up.
Zoya opened her eyes & smiled at him. She pecked on his cheeks.
Once asad left zoya returned back to her room.
Preparations were going on in sm as today evening it's asya's engagement. Zoya didn't allow Humeira to stress as she needs rest. Nazeena & zeenat entered with the dress & jewellery zoya should were for engagement. They wanted her to try it once if there is any alterations needed they should get it done soon.
Engagement ceremony
The entire sm was decorated with lights. Every one was extremely happy as it's asad & zoya's engagement. Zoya was brought down by zeenat & Humeira. In red lehenga she looked stunning. Dilshad handed over a beautiful diamond ring which she had preserved for years for her Bahu. The ring looked perfect in zoya's fingers.
After the ceremony zingo hotties had arrested asad & zoya. They were going on teasing asad as he came yesterday night to meet his bride. Zoya was enjoying whereas asad wanted to murder Ayaan for letting his sisters know about his secret meetings with zoya at night.
Night
Asad had came to meet zoya in terrace. Next two days he won't be attending the functions as it's only for ladies. Asad was going on & complaining about his siblings teasing session. Whereas zoya was laughing seeing him.
Zoya: you look so cute when you complaints. Just like a kid.
Asad: zoya
Zoya: ok! They are our siblings & it's there right to tease us during our marriage. Don't worry when they gets married we will tease them too.
Haldi
Dilshad had came with shagun ki haldi for zoya. Zoya was in beautiful yellow with pink salwar & pattiyala.

.
Zoya's outfit
Only ladies were allowed to participate in function. Zoya had asked nuzzat to shoot the ceremony in her iPad as she wanted to sent it to asad after function. Ayaan was not happy with only ladies attending the function. He wanted to apply haldi for zoya. Even haider wanted to apply haldi for his chutki. The duo planned to attend zoya's haldi in burgha.
Haldi ceremony started with badi bee applying haldi for zoya. Followed by Nazeen, dilshad, shireen, zeenat, najma, NikhAt, Humeira & nuzzat. After the family finished applying Ayaan in burgha went towards zoya. He took a ball of haldi & kept in zoya's nose.
Zoya's face formed a perfect frown once when she felt a ball of haldi on her nose. She looked at the women in front of her in burgha. Zoya felt something weird about this women. She looked at the women in front of her. It was then he noticed the bracelet in the women's right hand. Allah Miya! It's Ayaan!
Najma who was sitting next to zoya asked her
Najma: bhabi who is this women? You know her?
Zoya: ha tamater they are our own people.
Zoya's eyes najma understood what zoya was saying. Najma thought to have some fun.
Najma: see in our family we have a custom to apply haldi to other girls also. So we will apply to you too.
Ayaan & haider smelled the danger. They both got up saying no no no...
But najma was after them to apply haldi. Both started running. Najma too followed them. So as others. Both Ayaan & haider was stopped when NikhAt threw a bucket of water towards them. It was cool water & both haider & Ayaan had no other go they had to open the veil of burgha. No doubt every one was shocked to see Ayaan & haider in burgha.
Haider: we would have escaped even if we went to margin but not in between these ladies.
Every one was rolling & laughing. Both were embarrassed & they left from there soon.
Night
Zoya was going on laughing when she was showing the video of haldi ceremony to asad.
Zoya: you know nuzzat put this video in FB & you should see the comments. Allah Miya! Bechara Ayaan Bhopal Ke Romeo gayi kasm se.
Zoya was going on laughing saying about the incident whereas asad was lost in her. He pulled her towards him.
Asad: always be happy like this zoya.
Mehendi
Zoya had worn white lehenga with red border along with red dupatta which dilshad selected for her Bahu. Zoya had selected beautiful pattern for mehendi. Once when mehendi Wala wrote asad's name in her hands she was happy that she knows it's her destiny that had been written in her hands.
Once when the function was over zoya went to her room. Nazeen & Sikhander was waiting for her. They both hand over a big jewel box to zoya.
Sikhander: beta this jewels we preserved for zainab's nikkah but we couldn't give to her. Now we are giving to you. You have to wear this tomorrow.
Zoya had tears in her eyes. She hugged her grand parents.
Since asad & zoya are forbidden to meet before nikkah they chatted in phone for a long time.
Nikkah
Sikhander, Nazeen, anwer, zeenat, zoya & Humeira was in the nikkah hall. They had given a room there for the bride to get ready. Ladies were helping zoya to get ready. Zoya's nikkah Joda was a gift from anwer & zeenat. Zoya was looking stunning in green ghagra like a royal princess.
Zoya's outfit

Once when the barat arrived asad & his family was welcomed by anwer & haider. Zoya was brought down in red veil by Nazeen & Humeira.
Once when Malvi Saab read the holy Quran both asad & zoya said qubool hai to each other & entered the sacred bonding of nikkah. nikkahnaamma was signed by both asad & zoya along with there gurdians.
It was time for zoya's bidaai. Elders blessed zoya & asad. Both were happy to get married each other.
Dilshad had welcomed her Bahu in the presence of lights. Zoya remembered her initial conversation with dilshad when she came to KV.
" aapke ghar mein mohabbeth hai" she never knew that she will find true love in her life in this house. She was happy that she got this family as hers. She has every one in her life now. She had cleared her past issues & moved on in her life happily with her asad!
The end!
A/N: I didn't want to drag the story unnecessarily. I hope I did justice.
Coming to Sikhander & nazeens guilt towards zainab, 24 yrs back in 1990's people were not that broad minded to accept love marriages like in 2014 era. Gaffour was an ordinary man were as zainab belongs to rich royal family. There opposition was genuine. Years later when they heard about the fate of there daughter it's natural being parents to feel guilty.
Haldi scene was inspired from show saraswathichandra. I kind of liked Kumud & Sara's funny haldi ceremony.
