Part 2
A Decision Taken

Asad sat in his cabin trying to work his mind out on God knows how many things at once. It was all a mess; work...patients...life...everything. He took a deep sigh and scrubbed his hands over his face. Life seemed to have taken an opposite course of what it was before.
Still lost in his thoughts, he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in", he said and a very beautiful face appeared from across the door.
"Dr.Khan?"
"Yes?"
"I am Muskaan, I- ", she wanted to complete.
"I am sorry mam I am off service for now, not attending any patients", he complied in a total formal tone.
"No...no I am not here as a patient, I mean I am Muskaan Farooqui, Zoya's Sister in law", she completed with a faint smile.
"O- oh ye...yes please have a seat", Asad replied recovering from his initial shock. "What would you like to have...I just..."
Muskaan smiled seeing Asad fumble, he surly was acting as one nervous kid caught doing something wrong.
"It's ok Asad, I am sure we have something more important to talk about than the formalities", she tried to sound animated but failed miserably, seriousness and tension visible in her voice.
"Sure", he said taking a seat. "So..."
Muskaan took a deep sigh, bracing herself for whatever might happen. "Asad I don't think we have time for beating about the bush, so coming straight to the point, about the things that have happened over a past few days, I just wanted to ask..." she faltered, not knowing what and how much to put in front of him.
"That?", he urged her further.
"Do you really know what are you doing Asad?", she said looking straight into his eyes.
"I... I am sorry", asad was utterly confused.
"It is not hidden from me that you and Zoya have hardly talked, then..."
"Who says that lo- I mean liking someone has anything to do with the interaction", he replied
"Asad, I think you don't exactly know what are you offering...Zoya, she is quiet-and not quiet-because it's the way she was born, shy, hesitant...but.."
"but?", he couldn't hold the sudden curiosity in his voice.
"She has a past Asad, a story, not everyone can withstand", she said with grief.
"I don't see why is this conversation even happening, "Asad was confused furious and surprised, all at the same time. "She has a past OK, everyone does but I am talking about our -mine and Zoya's future here, Mrs. Farooqui, which should have nothing to do with her past!" He seemed offended.
"It could have been the case if things were different but there is nothing in her past that resembles your or mine childhood, she is a broken little soul...", she said with grief. "and anything that is related to her future is supposed to have bits of her past and trust me young man, if you are thinking with those hormones and not your brain, stay out of it!". Muskaan seemed dangerous as ever!

"There is no way in hell I am backing out from what I have started... I want to marry Zoya and I completely understand that it just won't be her but everything that is related to her, be it her past or whatever! And I am ready to accept her for what she is, with all my heart and soul!", he completed, rage channeling in his whole body. God he wanted this woman to leave just now!

"You are the one!", Muskaan said in a bubbly tone, transforming suddenly from the daring woman to a chirpy self.
Asad looked confused, is she mad?, he thought. "I'm sorry?"
"Oh you are the one... I mean", she chuckled "I mean I really wanted to check if you are worthy enough for my Zoya... given to the fact that she hardly talks about you or anyone else actually!," she said rolling her eyes "I wanted to make sure you would be able to revive her."
"Ok Mrs. Farooqui you have lost me", anything she said had passed from about 100 feet above his head.
"Muskaan please... well Asad about everything I said earlier, it's true, her childhood has not been like any normal child and whatever she is right now has everything to do with those events..." she completed sighing.
"What events?", he could sense the seriousness in her voice.
"Well much as I want share it with you right now... it's her story to tell Asad and I have no rights to articulate it to anyone!", she completed with a sad smile.
"Its OK, I understand, and trust me I am so into accepting whatever she has to offer and so much more", he completed with a soft smile.
"Oh Asad!, so you are all in for it?"
"Of course I am"
"Well then for the last time Mr. Khan... here's a warning",

There we go again, he thought sighing as she saw her narrowing her eyes, deadly Muskaan I-can-just-kill-you-with-my-gaze Farooqui was back!

"Since you are into it with all your, whatever you got, you will be responsible for her, you make her fall, you're the one picking her up and hurting her, is not an option and even if by mistake you do, you are so gonna face me and trust me Mister I can be one raving bitch when it comes to her! Get that and get that straight she completed huffing and yet dangerous as ever.
"Well...Okay", he gulped the lump forming in his throat. Man! He was afraid!

"Hah! Ok then", she let out a replete sigh, relaxing a bit.
"You love her too much, don't you?", he asked smiling.
"Well more than you can imagine jeeju", she completed with a wink as she emphasized on the last word to which he grinned like an idiot. "And- Oh My God!"
"What happened Mrs. Far- Muskaan?", he said almost jumping out of his seat at her tone.
"It's almost two and zoya's shift is about to start and she should not see me here at all, like AT ALL and you Mr. Khan are so not going to this mention to anyone!", she completed narrowing her eyes.
"Ohk!", he raised his arms in surrender "and well you are safe because she always all-business with me", he said shaking his head.
"Oh it's ok lover boy, you will be fine", she completed, said a quick good bye and
left!
Asad was dazed with what had just happened, this woman actually contradiction of a woman, he chuckled at his thought, she actually made him happy and sad and afraid and joyful and what not all at the same time! But there was one thing about her, the words she uttered.

__________________________ ­­­­­­­


Asad was pacing in his room. Not until sometimes before had Muskaan's words had actually hit him. He was trying to sort it out, with Muskaan's every word reverberating in his ears, he was trying to link the jigsaw together.

She has a past Asad.
Past? What is that supposed to mean?

A story, not everyone can withstand.
What is it that made her this way?

She is a broken little soul.
I was right about seeing the broken in her.

You would be able to revive her.
Revival? But...

He was lost in his own world when Dilshaad entered hi room. "You're still awake?".
"Ye...yeah just...just sorting out some work... this new patient I tell you...", he said groping with a file nearby.
"umm-hmm, so tell me if this "new patient" of yours is named Zoya." She asked, her hand crossed over her chest.
"wo... I...I mean" get a grip dude "Wo...ammi dekhiye na kitni raat ho gayi hai ap abhi tak jag rahi hain chaliye-" and then realization hit him causing him become rooted to the spot. It was 03:30 am, almost the whole night had passed and he was so lost in her that he didn't even realize that he had been pacing around for hours.
"Asad, stop with the stuttering... tell me it's about her and don't worry, I won't ruin your cool dude image by telling anyone", she said rolling her eyes.
"Ammi.." Asad said with a soft smile "It's just that... why the hell is this so damn complicated mom?", he whined like a child to with Dilshad chuckled.
"Asad, this is not a bike race you'd win just by going for it" she said while settled his head in her lap "Things like this take time...love... happens just like that, but it takes a good effort to get it reciprocated. Always remember that you love her doesn't mean that she'll love you back" as soon as the words left her mouth she saw disappointment flicker through his eyes.
"But of course you can try to make her fall for you" she added quickly, smiling "and that my son, is not going to happen just in some days... and trust me pacing around like that is not going to help even a tad bit!" she shook her head and started covering him with a duvet.

"Ma?", Dilshaad stopped dead in her tracks and turned around, Knowing that he uses Ma only when he's all messed up.
"yeah?"
"what do I do?", emotion etched on his face.
"Look out for her Asad...and do that for both of you" she smiled "But just wait for the right time and place to start" she said and went out.

"And Asad?", she peeped through the door.
"G ammi?"
"I love you beta"
"I love you too Ma"

"Good Morning"
Asad greeted his parents at the breakfast table the next morning.
"Oh someone's happy", rashid said smiling.
"Is it so? Asad?", Dilshaad inquired as she poured him some fresh orange juice.
"Ahan, A bit sorted it seems", he replied with a smile.
"well your happiness is short lived it seems", Rashid said in a playful tone.
"wha-" asad choked on his juice "What the... I mean what is that supposed to mean dad?"
"Wo kya hai na Asad... Zoya ke ghar walon ne invite kiya hai aj hume", and Asad choked again.
"Ky-un... I mean didn't they tell you anything", he asked excited.
"Yeah they said they wanted to get you guys married today", Rashid replied
"WHAT?"
"just kidding son"
"What dad? Are you planning to give me a heart attack today?" Asad said annoyed.
"Now what am I supposed to do? You're the one behaving like a teenager so I decided to play along" he mocked.
"Yeah right... please yourself then, now ammi", he turned to Dilshaad "are you gonna tell me what exactly is going on?" He seemed super annoyed and adding fuel to the fire was Rashid's huge grin.
"Oho both of you just cut it out, Asad Ghafoor sahib called today, he wanted us to visit them today... and stop looking at me like that they didn't say it was a yes or whatever!" she said frowning.
"Hey don't use whatever at least", he pouted.
"Yeah please Dilshaad baby ko bura lag jaye ga", Rashid said animatedly.
"Jeez Dad... grow up"
And the breakfast went on with Rashid going out of his league to tease his big boy today while Dilshaad kept shaking her head. The tension forgotten for the time being.
