Chapter 6
" Ammi I am home." asad called out as he walked inside the gate.
Dilshad turned her head at his direction and quickly was wished by asad, " asalaam walaikum."
"walaikum asalam asad." Dilshad brought a glass of water for him.
Asad gladly took the glass and frank water from it. dilshad smiled at him and sat beside while he keeps the glass on the table.
"how was your day asad?" she took the empty glass from him and kept it correctly.
"it was tiring." Asad simply added and loosens his tie and opens up his shirt's first two buttons.
"hmm. i will just get a cup of coffee for you." dilshad is about to get up but asad stops him and request her to sit beside him.
He leans on sofa a little more and shuts his eyes for peace. Dilshad watches his hardworking son taking some rest and so she brings her hand on his hair ruffling it like a mother way.
"asad?"
"hmm." asad folds his hand across his chest and sits straight on sofa.
"how is zoya doing in office?" she brings her hand on his hair again but asad dodged it and she placed it back on her laps.
"she is very annoying ammi. She clearly have no brains." Anger in his boils up and he goes in trance in the moment where she made him irated.
Dilshad wears a frown on her face and with a total disbelief look she defences zoya, " as far as I have known zoya, she is very understanding. She is a smart girl asad. She has done her professional course in computers."
"ammi. please. You don't know what she has done!" asad webs his hands together and archs his back in to a serious rigid trance tone.
"what has she done asad for you to be so hating her?" dilshad knits her brow together and tries to understand where the knots has developed between him and zoya.
Asad breathes in a couple of time before replaying a incident before his eyes, dilsahd all the time tries to read him and suddenly she fear when he caught up his breathe.
"ammi, she shouldn't have spoken with him. She should understand some basic rules to work in my company. She broke it. and I won't tolerate that." Dilshad stares at him confused as if trying to figure what his son was talking about. Asad too wiped out the last clip of her talking to his client and looked back at dilshad. He was caught up in an awkward situation and making a quick excuse he went to his room.
Asad shuts the door behind him and sits on the edge of his huge bed. He removes his watch and then the tie while clips of zoya annoying him reel before his eyes.
"This girl will make me crazy." He muttered under his breath. Asad finally took the towel and went to the washroom for refreshing himself.
Zoya is sitting on the swing chair in her balcony accompanied by her best friend humaira and her zeenat aapi.
"how's you new job going?" zeenat asked zoya.
"please don't get me start on this." Zoya angrily huffed while sipping on a bornvita cup she is holding.
"oh api. She is just getting too affected by her hot boss." Humaira giggles with the coffee cup in her hand.
"hot huh?" zeenat eyes humaira and humaira actions her like she is fainting. Zoya simply stares at both like they have newly developed horns on their head.
"he is not hot. He don't even look like a human for god sake. He is satan api." Zoya opens her mouth in disbelief and protest the compliment humaira has passed.
"kuch bhi huh! I have seen his picture in a business magazine, and let me tell you he is super se bhi upper hot!" humaira shrieked as if she is in lala land with his honey bunny.
"whatever." Zoya shouted back in same tone and pouts looking away from the two.
Zeenat and humaira shares eye contact and giggles at zoya, her behaviour was quite abnormal but still it looked very adorable.
"so. Tomorrow is your off. What plans you have to make it rocking?" humaira smartly changed the topic and smiling at the question zoya happily flashed her dimples at them.
"I was planning to go for a movie then swimming and last but not least to pub."
Zeenat wriggles her brow together and eyes at zoya, " oh api it will be for family of course." Soon the crease on zeenat's forehead straightens and she too smiles at zoya.
"okay then tomorrow we will go for all these and have lots and lots of fun." Humaira yelled in excitement and zoya too got up to hug humaira.
Just when these three are celebrating zeenat hears a ring from zoya's phone. "jahanpana satan." Zeenat reads the name on the screens and calls out zoya repeating the same name. zoya eyes widens up in horror and she goes to take cell from zeenat.
"who is he?" zeenat mouths her.
"my boss." Zoya answers humaira and zeenat in whisper.
"hello." Zoya answers in irritated tone.
"get ready I am coming to pick you up in 10 pm. We have some urgent work in our hand." She hears the satan speak.
what the hell???
Zoya feels herself burning head the toe, if she had a whistle on top of her head she would have beaten the cooker's army.
"but why? it's not the job timing. Moreover I have just come home."zoya groans in anger and gets a thumb to disconnect the call.
"Don't you dare to press that button." Asad literally screamed from the other end and zoya in a shock stares at her phone like a fool. How the hell did he come to know she was about to hang up on him?
"but sir-." He interrupts her in the middle.
" I don't care a BUT of yours, now hurry up its 9 35 in my watch I will come there in next 20minutes, so get change and be quick. I don't like waiting!" he said and hanged up the call on her without waiting for her response.
Zoya brought the phone down from her ear, she had four eyes of zeenat and humaira on her with question and answer to them were only one word his name, " asad khan..satan."
Zoya stares at the watch in middle of her explanation to humaira and zeenat api. "ya allah. Its already 9 50. Shit!"
She made a dashed towards bathroom trying to look much more descent in what she was wearing. Naah! She didn't change her clothes just made a little effort to fix up her hair.
Just when she comes out of the bathroom she hears her api talking with someone. Zoya made a quick peep through the hall and found asad standing at the door.
"mr. khan." Zoya felt herself out of breathe and energy.
"I am in the car. Make it fast." He informed and left ignoring everything that zeenat api said him.
When zoya turned at api she found her saying ," I tried." Shooting an understading look at her zoya began to walk to where he said his car is parked.
Just a quick glance at her home again before she leaves to satan denwont be a bad idea, she thought to herself.
"what the-." Humaira looked in trance and in her own lala land...like seriously.
"wake her up from dreaming." Zoya mouthed as she left the house.
It didn't took her long and soon she was standing at the door of his car.he nods and she sits in.
"don't you know about dress ethics at work?" asad asked scanning zoya up and down.
Zoya looked at her own clothes innocently, checking the white kurti she is wearing and also the arab salwaar.
"what wrong in this?" she asked bewildered.
"go and get change." He raised his voice like a threat but un affected to his threats she turned her face to window.
"I wont. Its my off now, and still I am coming so I have a choice to wear-"
"shut up. And change." He opened the door again of her side and pointed his index finger at the door.
Zoya sat back on the seat like a 5 year old and nods her head in NO.
Asad stares at her for a couple of minutes before pulling his front hair in frustration, he breathes in and out for a while and with a groan finally he burns the petrol and hit the car on road.
AND SUDDENLY SHE REMEBERS THE WORLDS FAMOUS LINE BY A EXCELLENT SINGLE.
"WHY THIS KOLAVERI DI ALLAH!!!!!!!" while she finally looked at zeenat and humaira at the door...
