Thirty One Part B
In all the chaos and anxiety the day had finally arrived, the day Zoya and Asad truly became one.
The wedding was no grand affair, but for Asad and Zoya it couldn't have been more perfect. Their closest family and friends were standing by their sides, Mrs Braganza, Mr Sharma, Zoya's beautiful children from the orphanage, Mona, Roni, Atul, all those that mattered the most were there to share the most important day of their lives.
Asad sat twitching much to Zack's annoyance 'will you stop that' he said hitting his forever shaking leg 'ouch...you mind keeping you wavering hand at bay...' Asad said narrowing his eyes at him 'hell no...you know how much satisfaction I get from whacking you' 'was that supposed to be funny...because you see this face it's not laughing' Zack rolled his eyes 'the ever so sarcastic Leo...'
'Will you two pack it in...Zack behave yourself and leave him alone' as a chided him which made Asad smile 'wipe that smile off your Angel is here'. Asad turned around to see Ruby, Jai and Mrs Braganza bring Zoya into the hall, she was wearing a beautiful maroon and gold Lehnga, it was delicately embroidered with fine thread. Zoya looked stunning, Asad and Zack stood up as she approached the stage.
Taking a few deep breaths Asad closed his eyes and thanked Allah for this day 'jokes a part...I'm really happy for you Leo, this day isn't just special for you two, it is for me too, a day when my two best friends truly become one...and that little thank you you just sent up to Him, I have been sending ever since she said yes'
Asad looked at Zack not really knowing what to say 'you can hug and kiss me later...the Imaam is here' Asad shook his head as he let out a laugh 'I owe you so much Zack...thank you' 'like I said hug and kiss later' he said with a wink making him smile to no end.
The Imaam recited the most beautiful words from the Holy Qur'an and the asked Asad and Zoya that one question that they had been waiting to answer for so long. When they both replied Qubool Hai everyone around them smiled and laughed through their tears.
After having met everyone Zoya and Asad sat down together, the more he tried to look at her the more she blushed and tried to hide her face from him 'finally...I can call you wifey' 'seriously you're going to call me that...you know how cheesy that sounds' Asad started laughing 'well at least it got you go look up at me' Zoya opened her mouth 'you are so...' 'Brilliant...I know...I can't help it'.
Zoya hugged Asma and cried, she felt her heart sink as she looked up at both her parents, she couldn't bring herself to talk but then again she didn't have to her eyes conveyed every message she wanted. Rehaan placed his hand over her head 'I wish you every happiness Angel...Leo, she is all yours now beta, please look after her' 'I will uncle...and thank you to all of you...this would not have been possible if it hadn't...' 'Please...don't say thank you...you just take care'
Zoya walked up to Zack 'today you truly live up to your name Angel...you look stunning' Zoya smiled and then leaned into his hold 'I love you Zack' 'sshhh don't let Leo hear you say that' Zoya let out a laugh and playfully punched his chest 'thank you for everything' Zack tapped the top of her nose 'you take care...and I will see you in a few days'.
Zack had booked Asad and Zoya the honeymoon in the Purple Orchid, one of the best hotels in all of Mumbai.
Asad opened the door and when he did both of them stood there not really believing their eyes. The room had been decorated beautifully, the room was fragranced was fresh roses and white lilies 'wow..they really did go out their way' Zoya said admiring the room 'I have a feeling this has a lot to do with Ruby' 'I agree' both of the started to laugh.
Keeping his eyes locked with hers Asad stepped forward and took her hand I to his 'I can't believe we made to here...' Zoya placed her finger on his lips go stop him from saying anything further 'today marks the first day of our new life together Asad...please don't remember what has passed' Asad smiled against her finger and then gently kissed it making her withdraw it 'now that's a colour I haven't seen for a long time...really Zoya your cheeks match your outfit' had said teasingly making her blush even more.
Asad took Zoya's hand in his and led her to the bed, holding her hand firmly in one her placed the other a cross her cheek making her turn towards him. As Asad gently kissed the side of her head he slowly pulled out her earring. Zoya closed her eyes as butterflies set her stomach off.
Asad leaned in closer and placed his lips over hers, as he continued with his sweet assault he slowly started to shed her of her beautiful ornaments one by one until all that was left was her dupatta.
Asad stood up and held his hand out to her, which she took instantly, as Zoya stood in front of him she lowered her gaze 'you look beautiful Zoya, more beautiful than ever' not being able to respond Zoya held onto the sides of his arms, her legs had started to turn into jelly, the nervousness started to overtake her.
Asad placed his hands on both sides if her head and took hold of the ends of her dupatta. As soon as it fell to the floor Zoya wrapped her arms around him burying her face in the crook of his neck. Asad could almost feel her heart beat against his, her breathing became slightly jagged as his hands travelled the length of her back pulling at her string that tied up her top so neatly around her petite body.
Zoya looked up to meet his eyes that were full of passion and an intensity she had never seen or experienced before. Asad lowered his head and reclaimed her lips, as their kiss deepened he lay her down on the bed that was covered with soft petals that started to kiss her body.
Zoya broke out into a shiver feeling his warm hand against her bare skin, Asad looked up at her 'Zoya...I...' Zoya placed her hand in the side of his face 'I love you Asad...and I trust you' with that she pulled him down and let him do what completed them. Zoya and Asad truly had become one, they loved like no other ever could.
Zoya and Asad enjoyed three beautiful days and nights in each other's arms 'I never want this to end Asad' Asad kissed the back of her hand 'it never will Zoya...no matter what this will never come to an end'
Zoya and Asad came home to a warm welcome, everyone was at his apartment to welcome the newly married couple Mr and Mrs Asad Ahmed Khan. If didn't take long for the party to be over as everyone started to work towards the New Years concert. Zack and his parents stayed back so they could also attend, which meant Zoya could spend that much more time with them.
The day had finally arrived when Zoya, Angel was going to take the stage by storm. Giving Dilshad and Asad one last hug Zoya walked out on to the stage, in front of a crowd that had gone absolutely crazy.
Zoya stood and started talking to them, she had so much to say and be thankful for.
'...when a person reaches a place where I stand today it is not something that is achieved on your own, apart from the powers above I had my family and my friends, I had my parents and today I have my husband, the man I love with all my heart, with all my life. Before I start with today's concert I would like to share something with you all, something that I wrote for him...but before then...can you all make some noise for Asad Ahmed khan'
The hall erupted with screams that could be heard at a great distance, Asad looked at Zoya wide eyed and shook his head 'Leo, you just going stand there or move,..she's calling you' Zack said as he pushed him. Asad walked up on the stage, he took the hand out that she held and held it as if his life depended on it.
Zoya turned to face him, she took a few steps back and brought the mic up to meet her lips, it's a poems in essence but it truly is how I feel today. Zoya looked deep into his eyes and then recited the words she had written for him.
When darkness surrounded me I lived on
When faces faded I lived on
When the world forgot to smile, I laughed with all my heart
Then you came into my life like a passing storm and swept me away
Your tender touch
Your heart that cared so much
Your whispers that echo words of love
A glimmer of hope you spread so much
The test of life
A testing fate
A thread so fine
But it shall never break
My love for you is pure
My love for you will forever endure
You called me your Angel
You called me your life
You were my eyes my strength
You are my beautiful end
Just One Glimpse was all I wanted to see the face of my beloved
Just One Glimpse is all that I needed
Today I see the man that I love
I see a real Angel sent from above
Just for me
My heart and my soul are forever yours to hold
For as long as I breathe
You will be the one who will stand by me
For as long I will see
I will fall in love with you time and time again
Asad looked at her with tears that were fighting to escape, every word touched his heart and his soul, he held out his arms which Zoya ran into 'I love you so so much Zoya' 'I love you too Asad, I love you too'
Asad held her face in his hands and not caring for an audience of a thousand people, not caring for his Ammi or her parents Asad crashed his lips against hers and kissed her.
Zack who was whistling and cheering them on was in fits of laughter seeing Dilshad's expression 'it's ok Aunty...they are allowed...' Dilshad, Asma and Rehaan quickly turned around trying to hide their embarrassment.
'You...you just kissed me in front of all these people' 'yes I did...and you kissed me back' Zoya started to laugh 'I guess I did...see you in a bit' 'good luck Angel, I love you'.
