'even zoya's mother died in a fire mishap asad'
'zoya is afraid of fire asad'
'she saw her mother dying in fire'
'she was in shock'
'it took us a lot of time to bring her back to normal'
'she use to scream ami fire save me in her shock state and nightmares'
whatever zeenat said rang in his mind as he made his towards her room, he was guilty for taking her wrong, again, but morethan that he was hurt that he couldn't understand her and instead of consoling her he hurted her more, as he opened her room's door he felt a little satisfaction seeing her sleeping with peace, he went to her and sat beside her, taking a moment for his thoughts he then whispered 'zoya' her name and took her hand in his gently
'i am really very sorry zoya, i don't know why i do this to you, always, i don't understand why i hurt you like this, i just..don't know but i promise i never do it intentionally, please forgive me for hurting you that day and blaming you for everything..i am so sorry..i know sorry is a small word but i don't have any way to justify my words and my feelings' he said as a tear rolled down his cheek
'you know since yesterday you are quite, and this silence of your's is killing me, i know i am the one who is the reason of it but still i like when you keep chatting like a chatter box' he chuckled 'you know what zoya till today i was fighting with my feelings towards you, i was trying to not to give it any importance but i failed in it zoya, even this Nikah, i don't consider it 'Nakli' anymore zoya, in fact this would be the biggest truth in my life, i had started dreaming my future with you, i had dreamed to see you as Zoya Asad Ahmed Khan..'
'you are right, i am a emotionally challenged man, may be this was the reason i couldn't make myself ready to come to you and confess but i guess this...it's the right time zoya that i make you aware with my feelings, zoya i, Asad Ahmed Khan is madly and deeply in love with you and i really want to spend the rest of my life with you..i want to see you as a real bride, my bride..i want to make you mine, i want to live with you for the rest of my life and i only want you to owe me, to love me back, i really love you so much zoya... I hope you forgive me this time too, like all the other times, i am sorry'
He leaned forward and kissed her forehead, but as he turned to leave he stopped and turned to look at her, she had her eyes closed tightly and her lips, there was a small smile playing on her lips, shaking his head he stood there silent, after a while she opened her left eye to check whether he left or not only to be caught red handed as she saw him smiling at her, she opened her other eye and gave him a silly smile, he again sat beside her 'so you heard everything?' he asked and she shouted 'No' he stared at her in amusement and then raised his eyebrow 'i mean no..y...ye' she sighed yes i heard e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g' she confessed 'hmmm thank you for making it easy for me ZOYA' he said and she just stared st him lost in her thoughts about how to tell him about what she feels
'so don't you think, you have to tell something to me too Miss Farouqi?' he asked 'me? Umm no' no?' ..no no i mean yes..' she corrected 'i..i' as she hesitated asad stopped her 'leave it zoya, i can understand what you must be feeling relax..i am going for now but please always remember that whatever the situation is this nikah will be a real one and all i want is you..' as he stood up and turned to leave she stopped him by holding his hand, he turned to look at her as she straightened herself ' Allah Miyah what's wrong with you Mr.khan? You know till today i thought you are an emotionally challenged person but no!! You are not only emotionally challenged but an impatient man too, don't you know that a girl take time in all this' she barged and 'wo actually ...Ms.Faroqui' as he started she cut him off 'please Mr.khan i am no mode to listen to this...sit' 'ji..?' 'sit na' she ordered pulling him, he sat once again where he sat a while back
'Mr.Khan i need to say something too NOW, you know Mr.Khan i am also tired with it..pretending that i don't feel anything, i am tired, the truth is i do..an..and i also want this nikah to turn Asli, i also want you to be with me always...' she smiled 'i love you too ASAD'
