Ayesha was cursing herself for being a failed mother and Arman was consoling her... Asma made his way in Aman's room in order to inject him Anesthesia... she was about to inject him when Asad entered...
Asad: what are you doing???
Asma: bhaijan wo main...
Asad: mjhy Aman se bat karni hain...
Asma: par Ayesha ne kaha k...
Asad: haan lekin mjhy Aman se bat karni hai... excuse us plzzz...
Asma: bhaijan... be careful...
Asad: I know Asma...
Asma left the room... Asad came and sat on Aman's bed...
Aman: Mr. Khan apko kya bat karni hai???
Asad: mjhy apko Zoya k bary main btana hai...
Aman: not now Mr. Khan... abhi meri vaja se mama bhi naraz ho kar gayi hain...
Asad: apko Zoya ko dekhna hai na???
Aman: haan par abhi mjhy apny...
Asad: papa se milna hai... right???
Aman: hmm... he nodded...
Asad took out his cell phone from his pocket and opened a pic of his and Zoya's wedding and showed to Aman... Aman looked at his cell phone and found his mother with Mr. Khan... he took his cell phone from his hands and looked again with shock visible on his face...
Aman: Mr. Khan yeh to mama ki pic hai... app k pass kesy aayi???
Asad: yeh meri Zoya hai...
Aman: no Mr. Khan... she is my mama... Ayesha Khan...
Asad: she is Zoya Asad Ahmad Khan... my wife... your mama Aman...
Aman: eska matlab app...
Asad: I m your father Aman... I m your father... he said holding his hands...
Aman: app yeh sab mjhy mama k kehny pe kar rahy ho na... okay fine mjhy nahi milna apny papa se...
Asad: aisi bat nahi hai Aman...
Aman: Mr. Khan you are my only friend... main apko nahi khona chahta...
Asad: Aman I m your father... its true... acha yeh dekho... he showed her Zoya's pic before their wedding...
Aman: meri mama hi apki Zoya hain...
Asad: hmm...
Aman: app ne mjhy pehly kyun nahi btaya???
Asad: mjhy nahi pata tha k apki mama hi Zoya hain...
Aman: I missed you papa... saying so he hugged Asad...
Asad too hugged him back and cried his heart out...
Asad: I love you Aman...
Aman: I love you too... app mjhy chor k nahi jao gey na???
Asad: kabhi nahi... kabhi bhi nahi... he kissed on his cheeks ans hugged him again...
Aman: app ne mama ko btaya???
Asad: nahi... actually unhy aisy btana risky ho sakta hai...
Aman: meri mama boht strong hain... wo samjh jayen gi...
Asad: now you have to promise me... you are going to fine... promise me Aman...
Aman: aaj main 1st time apny papa se mila hoon or ab to mjhy jaldi se acha hona hoga... so I promise Mr. Khan... I will be fine... he shakes a hand with Asad...
Asad: that's like my boy... ab Asma aunty apko injection dengi us k bad apko nend aa jae gi or jab app utho gey...
Aman: I need my mama papa beside me... he ordered...
Asad: okay done... he kissed his forehead and left from there...
Asad came outside and signaled Asma to resume her work... he found Ayesha sitting on the floor... he made up his mind to face the truth without wasting more time... OT was ready... Asma took Aman inside the OT and came back to Ayesha...
Asma: Ayesha I will try my level best... just pray to God... she was about to go when Ayesha held her hand...
Ayesha: agar mere bety ko kuch hua to aaj k bad aik maa kabhi bhi kisi pe bharosa nahi kary gi...
Asma: you can trust me Ayesha... she said and placed a hand on her shoulder and left for OT...
Ayesha sighed and took a deep breath... she wiped her tears and asked Arman to be there...
Arman: aapi app kahan ja rahi hain???
Ayesha: I can't stand here... I felt suffocated... I'll be back in a while...
Arman: par appi Aman...
Ayesha: kaha na main aa jaongi... saying so she left from there...
Asad was observing her moves and he asked Arman to relax as he too went behind her... she came out of the building and fell on her knees... she was crying loudly... she was feeling defeated... being a mother she was unable to remove the pain from which her son was suffering... Asad was watching her... he too cried with her... he wanted to be with her... he wanted to erase her pain... he went in parking area and brought his car... he stopped his car in front of her... she looked at him and ignored him...
Asad: Ayesha get in the car...
Ayesha: leave me alone... she yelled at him...
Asad: I said get in the car... for Aman's sake...
Ayesha looked at him again with teary eyes and he nodded at him to came inside the car... she don't know why but she obeyed him and sat in the car and he drove them away from the hospital... may she needed a shoulder to cry and Asad was always there for her... she was sitting silently and crying... Asad was driving fast... actually he wanted to do it as soon as possible... he drove them to KV and asked her to come inside...
Asad: andar chalen???
Ayesha: mjhy nahi aana...
Asad: I know you are not in your senses but trust me for once and follow me... he said opening side door for her...
Ayesha was actually not in her senses... she was doing what he was saying her to do... and the reason was Aman... yes Aman... she thought that Asad too loves her son so if she spend some time with him then she will be close to her son...
Asad and Ayesha came inside... she was standing in the hall when he held her hand...
Asad: Ayesha I m going to tell you your's life biggest truth... I know it shouldn't have happened like this but I have no choice...
Ayesha: I m not getting your point... app mere barey main kya janty hain???
Asad: app mere sath aaiye... he took her to Zoya's room and switched on the lights...
Ayesha was already not in her senses and then Asad was saying strange things to her but when she looked at the walls of Asad's wife room... she got the shock of her life... she stopped dead in her tracks... she felt Asad forcing her to come inside but she was unable to move an inch... Asad forcibly made her sat on the bed and kneeled down before her...
Asad: I know tum kya soch rahi ho... par react karny se pehly yeh letter parh lo... he handled her letter written by her baba... she took the letter and started reading that letter...
Ayesha read the letter and looked at Asad who was looking at her with teary eyes... she found just love in them... love... is it really love??? She again read the letter and looked at the walls and got the point which Asad was actually telling her... she took a deep breath and a lone tear escaped from her eye... the letter slipped out from her hands and she held her head which was aching...
Asad was observing her moves and when she again read the letter and looked at her pics as Zoya, he was sure that she got the hint that she is Zoya... and when she held out her head... he got scarred... Asma had warned her that it can be risky but after hearing out Aman's wish he lost his thinking ability... he went and grabbed a glass of water for her and offered her... she took a sip and looked at him again...
Asad: I m sorry... I was not supposed to tell you like this but...
Ayesha: you did it for Aman right???
Asad: Zo... Ayesha I don't know why Allah is punishing us but it's true... you are my Zoya... he said holding her hands...
Ayesha: but how's that possible... I mean it can be a coincidence... ho sakta hai I look alike Zoya only...
Asad: jab mene apko Delhi main dekha tha mjhy laga app shayad mjhy ignore kar rahi hain lekin jab app ne Aman ki qasam khai mjhy yaqeen ho gaya k meri Zoya aisa nahi kar sakti...
Ayesha: app ne mjhy pehly kyun nahi btaya???
Asad: kyun k mjhy khud nahi pata tha... ek pal k liye lagta tha k app Zoya hain par dosry hi pal app mjhy galat prove kar deti thein...
Ayesha: Asad I... I really don't know yeh sab kya ho raha hai... even I don't remember anything... mjhy nahi lagta mene kabhi aisy kapry pehny hongy... I m totally different from your Zoya... she cried...
Asad: I know you are different and you don't need to remember anything... you don't need to stress out yourself... actually my Zoya was loud and joyful... I agree with you... but now you are a mother... you took Aman's responsibility alone so hardships of life changed your personality that's why you are finding Zoya out of your character... you are Zoya and I can prove it... but now we have to be there with Aman... he needs us Ayesha... he said wiping her tears...
Ayesha: may be... actually I m getting some flashbacks from few weeks... I remembered your eyes... I don't know why but I m seeing your eyes in my flashbacks... I m hearing out your "Qubool Hai..." mjhy laga yeh sab stress ki vaja se hai but...
Asad: but you are getting your memory back Zoya... he said hopefully...
Ayesha: haan par mjhy lagta hai I need some time...
Asad: main apni puri zindagi tmhy waqt dy sakta hoon but plzzz be with me... mene Aman se promise kia hai k jab wo hosh main ayega to us k mama papa us k sath hongy... plzzz... he cried...
Ayesha: okay...
Asad: thank you Ayesha...
Ayesha: Ayesha???
Asad: abhi tumhy Zoya nahi keh sakta na... leave it... saying so he left the room...
