AsYa were sleeping peacefully when suddenly Zoya stirred in her sleep, Asad felt her moving, he pulled her closer and stroked her left arm... Zoya was actually dreaming, she was having a flashback of her past 6 years, but a blur flashback, she felt like a film is playing and she was witnessing all that with her own eyes, she saw an old man who was blessing her, she saw someone who was smiling with her, then she saw a little baby, newly born baby, she smiled and Asad felt that she smiled at his move of pulling her closer, Zoya was lost in her dream, she was enjoying her dream, she was loving the scene in front of her, she felt connected to that lady in her dream bcox she too was going to be a mother, suddenly she heard that lady's voice and she shocked and turned to face that lady but her face was not clear... Zoya was sweating now, she felt strange during the dream, then she saw only the lady n the baby, all alone in the house, she unknowingly compared herself with that lady like how Asad is always there for her, she was enjoying the antics of the baby, she saw how baby crawled and took his first step, the baby was walking towards her and when the baby tripped and was about to fall she screamed "Amannn"...
Zoya not only screamed in dream only, she actually screamed, Asad immediately woke up and found a sweating Zoya beside him...
Asad: kya hua Zoya??? he switched on the lights and made her drink some water...
Zoya: Mr. Khan wo... wo Aman usko chot lagi or...
Asad: Aman... he asked shockingly...
Zoya: haan wo Aman was taking his initial step and he fell... Mr. Khan wo ro raha tha mjhy us k pass jana hai...
Asad: app mjhy btaiye app ne khawab main kya dekha... he asked just to clear out his doubts, actually he felt like Zoya remembered everything but when she told about first step his thoughts crashed bcox Zoya just had a past memory...
Zoya: Mr. Khan there was a lady, her voice was like me, strange na, she had a son, and his name is Aman bohat cute hai wo apko pata hai humara baby bhi wesa hi hoga...
Asad: app unhy janti hain kya???
Zoya: nahi but I have to go Mr. Khan, he was calling me, I don't know Aman koun hai but he needs me Mr. Khan...
Asad: you were dreaming Zoya, app khud btaiye app kisi Aman ko janti hain kya???
Zoya: I know him Mr. Khan, I felt a connection with him, app mjhse etny sawal kyun kar rahy hain, I told na k mjhy Aman k pass jana hai so plz take me to him...
Asad: come on Zoya its past 2 and you are telling to take you to someone unknown... he tried to make her argue with him, maybe she will remember something suddenly...
Zoya: unknown??? i know him really well, app shayad nahi janty hongy, main ammi se pochti hon... she got up from the bed but Asad pulled her back...
Asad: where you think you are going Mrs. Khan, it's quite late...
Zoya: haan to...
Asad: ammi abhi so rahi hain to hum unhy disturb nahi kar sakty na...
Zoya: but Aman needs me...
Asad: Ya Allah, app samajh kyun nahi rahi hain, yaha koi Aman nahi hai...
Zoya: app jhoot bol rahy hain Aman hai...
Asad: acha kahan hai wo???
Zoya: wo... wo shayad...
Asad: see, I told you just had a dream, now go back to sleep Zoya, you shouldn't neglect your health...
Zoya: apko meri fikar hai or Aman ki nahi...
Asad was trying to make her think more but she was just replying back normally, no past memory was helping him out, he felt really bad when she said that he didn't care about Aman, unintentionally she hurt him and that was quite true, he actually neglecting his son right now, his train of thoughts broke by Zoya's next sentence...
Zoya: Mr. Khan you... you need a baby right... I mean you didn't bother to ask me about Aman, app bas mjhy dream hai dream hai bol rahy hain, apko fark nahi padhta kya Aman ko chot lagi hai or kal ko jab hamara baby hoga to app...
That was it for Asad, he can't take it anymore, he stopped himself from crying, from last 3 days he was feeling guilty bcox he was unable to manage his family at the same time and here Zoya unknowingly hurting him more n more, he just came out of the room, Zoya was confused by his behavior...
Asad was sitting on the bench silently crying, he remembered his moments with Aman n Zoya, he was crying on his ill fate, he was the only reason for Zoya n Aman's condition, both were suffering due to him, Zoya came and found him crying, she felt bad for him, she unknowingly hurt him by saying that he can't be a good father, she came to him and placed a hand on his shoulder... Asad turned and found her there, he cried more and hugged her... Zoya hugged him back and roamed a soothed hand at his back...
Asad: I cared a lot for Aman, you know he is my only friend, I cared for him Zoya, I cared for Aman... he blurted out...
Zoya was shocked by hearing his words, he knows Aman, how it can be possible, Asad was not in her dream, okay may be they knew him but how come she didn't remember Aman except that falling scene, she was lost in her own thoughts while Asad was just crying... Zoya stressed out her brain and she fainted right there...
When Asad felt her losing her hold, he became conscious and realized his words, he broke and apart and found her fainted, he got worried and took her to their room, Asad lay down on the bed and sprinkle some water on her face, Zoya stirred and opened her eyes after a minute, she looked around and registered that she is back to her room, Asad asked her if she okay which she replied with a nod, he made her drink a glass of milk and some fruit salad, he locked the door and came back to her, lay down beside her and pulled the quilt over them...
Asad was awake, he was thinking about Zoya n Aman while Zoya's eyes were closed, he felt that went back to sleep but she was awake and thinking about her dream and Aman only, Asad's words about Aman were haunting her...
Zoya: Mr. Khan... she asked suddenly...
Asad: hmm... he hmm-ed in response...
Zoya: hum Aman ko janty hain na???
Asad: you should sleep now Zoya...
Zoya: you care about him right???
Asad: hmm Aman is my friend... you know him, actually we know him really well...
Zoya: but how come I saw him in such age, I mean apka friend hai to...
Asad: friendship is beyond age Zoya...
Zoya: par kesy...
Asad: Okay make a deal, you stop questioning me and I will take you to him...
Zoya: really Mr. Khan... she asked excitedly...
Asad: ji... now can we sleep plzzz, I have an office tomorrow Mrs. Khan...
Zoya: office se yaad aaya, app sara din kaha thy haan???
Asad: important meeting Zoya... he replied closing his eyes...
Zoya: you dint have your dinner with me... she pouted...
Asad: from tomorrow I will have my dinner with you only...
Zoya: that's like a good husband... she pecked his lips and rested her head on his arm and closed her eyes so sleep can took over her...
Next Morning, AsYa spent a quality time with each other, they laughed heartedly, but somewhere Asad was missing his son, Dilshad felt his trauma and assured him that everything will be fine soon, In Sha Allah... Asad made Zoya understand that he will return in evening only, these day are hectic for him and all, he lied so he can be with Aman for the whole day, Zoya was little cranky but gave in...
Asad came to SM instead of office and spend the whole day with Aman, he told him about Zoya's dream and a hope rise again, later that evening Asad came back to KV and took care of his pregnant wife... At Night, Asad made a call to Aman and placed his phone on the side table so can Aman felt connected to his parents...
It has been a week and Asad was following the same routine, Aman was compromising a lot with him and Zoya being Zoya throwing lots of tantrums at him... Sometimes he felt like Zoya is his kid while Aman is the mature onle...
On fine evening, AsYa were sitting in a park as per Zoya's wish, Asad was planning to arrange a meeting of AmYa (Aman-Zoya) while Zoya was looking around the park... Zoya spotted some kids who were playing hide n seek, she was smiling looking at them, she rested her head on Asad's shoulder and planned their future with their baby...
Zoya: apko pata hai Mr. Khan mjhy hide n seek bohat pasand hai...
Asad: don't tell me you want to play right now???
Zoya: suniye to, ek dafa kya hua mai or Aman hide n seek khel rahy thy or acahnak se Arman aya or...
Asad: or...
Zoya: I m getting mad Mr. Khan... main pagal horahi hoon...
Asad: app pagal hamesha se hain, but app kuch bata rahi thi...
Zoya: app mjhy Aman se milwany valy thy na???
Asad: app mere sawal ka jawab dejieye...
Zoya: I don't know what's happening to me Mr. Khan, mjhy kuch ajeeb se khawab aaty hain, koi lady hai or uska bacha hai, I felt like I know them but un k chehry nazar nahi aaty...
Asad: app etna kyun sochti hain, it's not good for you and the baby... main app k sath hoon to apko kisi bhi barey main sochny ki zaroorat nahi hai...
Zoya: yehi to bat hai Mr. Khan, app mere sath hain but wo log akely hain...
Asad: akely???
Zoya: Aman's father is not there with them na... she stated...
Asad: apko kesy pata... he asked surprisingly bcox she was telling a lot these days about her past life as Ayesha Khan and he wanted to know more without stressing out her brain...
Zoya: I saw her crying Mr. Khan, she was alone, all alone, bas Aman hi uska sab kuch hai... she said with teary eyes...
Asad: apko nahi lagta k Aman or woe k lady sath main khush thy... he asked wiping her tears...
Zoya: bohat khshy hain wo dono... Mr. Khan its strange main jin logo se milli nahi jinhy KaBhi dekha nahi unka dard main mehsoos kar sakti hoon, I can feel them, it's like I m one of them...
Asad: app un main se nahi hain, apki apni family hai, ammi hain Ayaan, Najma sab hain app k pass... he said hugging her...
Zoya: Mr. Khan mjhy abbu se milna hai... she said breaking the hug...
Asad: app k abbu se ya mere abbu se???
Zoya: mere abbu se Mr. Khan, I know you don't like him but plzzz can I meet him for once plzzz Mr. Khan...
Asad: acha theek hai hum app k abbu se milny jayengy...
Zoya: ek second, you said "app k abbu" I mean app to dost se bat nahi karty or ab...
Asad: I m on talking terms with him Zoya...
Zoya: yeh kab hua???
Asad: bohat lambi kahani hai... ghar ja k sunaonga...
AsYa made their way towards their car hand in hand, Asad drove them too KV when suddenly Zoya shouted...
Zoya: STOP!!!!
Asad: kya hua Zoya, app theek to hain na...
Zoya: I m fine Mr. Khan, hum galat rasty se ja rahy hain...
Asad: yeh ghar ka hi rasta hai or app aisy chillayi kyun???
Zoya: humey SM jana hai na to yeh rasta galat hai, mjhy abbu or dost se abhi milna hai, app SM chalieye...
Asad: SM???
Zoya: haan kyun...
Asad: hum abhi SM nahi ja sakty...
Zoya: par kyun???
Asad: kyun k Aman vaha...
Zoya: Aman bhi SM hai... she asked excitedly...
Asad: nahi, I mean abhi kuch din tak humey Aman se milna hai or phir...
Zoya: abhi kyun nahi Mr. Khan...
Asad: abhi ammi ko app se kaam hai to hum ghar ja rahy hain...
Zoya: okay, but I want to meet everyone ASAP...
Asad: hmm... he continued driving to SM...
AsYa came back KV, Asad told Dilshad everything and asked her to be with Zoya so she doesn't doubt on him... Dilshad n Zoya were in hall while Asad was in his room, Asad's phone rang which was laying on the side table beside Zoya, she pick up the phone and made her way towards their room, the door was slightly open, Asad was on call with Aman on landline while he forget about his cell phone, the cell phone stopped and ringing, Zoya was about to call him when she heard him and she froze right there...
Asad: she will accept you... I love you too... apna khayal rakhna... Allah Hafiz...
Asad ended the call and turned to find Zoya at the door, she saw him turning and immediately she composed herself and faked a smile...
Zoya: apka phone... or haan dinner ready hai...
Asad: oh... app chalieye main aata hoon...
Zoya made her way towards washroom, she leaned back against the door, tears made their way, his words were ringing in her ears, "I love you too"... no he can't cheat her, she may be imagining things by her own, Asad is not that type of man, maybe he was talking to Najma or Ayaan, but her mind was going in wrong directions, she was doubting on her Mr. Khan, she composed herself and washed her face and joined everyone for dinner...
Zoya was lost in her thoughts while Asad was sleeping, she turned towards him and placed her head on his arm, he too adjusted her with him and pulled her more closer, she smiled at his move, unknown to her she felt like crying, she traced his face, she was feeling like someone is coming between them, she move ahead and kissed his forehead lightly not to disturb his sound sleep, she came back to her place and hugged him closer...
On the other hand, Aman was sleeping peacefully while holding out his parents photo frame, a content smile was there on his face, actually Asad told him that after some days he is going to tell Zoya about him, Aman was on cloud nine, he can't wait even for a second to meet his mama, that's why he was smiling in his sleep...
Next Morning, Zoya decided not to focus on bad thoughts, Asad had left for office while Dilshad was not feeling well so she was resting in her room, Zoya decided to make Asad's favorite food today, she cooked Biryani, Chicken Makhni and Kheer, she planned to surprise him at lunch time and headed to DC...
Arman was going to Mumbai to attend a court hearing, and he was going to return back next day, Aman wanted to gift something to Zoya on his meeting, he decided to gift her their old pictures that were kept in Mumbai's house so he ask Arman to take him along, Asad came to know about his plan and refused immediately, he was afraid of Mumbai now, so much had happened in Mumbai only, Aman tried to make him understand that he just wanted to be with mama like before so he needed pictures so he can gift her, Arman assured Asad that he will take care of Aman... Aman being Zoya's baby blackmailed Asad, Arman and Aman packed their bags...
On the other hand, Zoya came to DC and made his way towards Asad's cabin, he was not there, she waited for him for an hour but he didn't came, she asked the receptionist about him, she told him that Asad is on leave from past 3 weeks, Zoya was shocked... how it can be possible, Asad daily came office, then suddenly it struck her, she remembered his words, "I love you too"... she composed herself and came back to KV...
is ishq me kya kya hota hai
aashiq jane ya rab jane
is bar na jane kya hoga
pehle bhi hue the diwane
Zoya called out for Dilshad but then she found a note from Dilshad she is going for check up... Zoya came in her room and sat on bed with a thud, she cried n cried hard... she tried to compose herself but found her crying more, she remembered their moments and pick up their photo that was placed on the side table, she remembered their promises but now she felt like Asad is cheating on her, he didn't went to office but he lied to her and left daily from the home, he said "I love you too" to someone else, how can he do this to her, he loves her damn it...
ho ye kaisa safar hai ye kaisi hai rahe
ke manzil ki mujhko khabar hi nahi hai
dhundu kaha mai suku apne dil ka
idhar bhi nahi hai udhar bhi nahi hai
Zoya's head was spinning due to crying, anger rose in her and she broke their photo frame, she was angry on herself for thinking such low for Asad, she decided to call him...
Asad: hi Zoya, I m in meeting will talk to you later... he said after picking up the call...
Zoya: okay... she was shocked by hearing a BIG lie from her husband, the thing which shocked her more that Mr. Asad Ahmad Ahmad Khan, a pan of principles is lying that too so easily, fresh tears made their way, but suddenly she heard another voice from the other side of the phone...
Dilshad: Asad beta kahana ready hai...
Asad ended the call without realizing that Zoya was still on call... Zoya was more hurt now, Dilshad too lied to her... Actually Dilshad was in SM only, she lied to Zoya bcox she wanted to meet Aman before he left for Mumbai... but their continuous lies hurt Zoya only...
Zoya broke the cell phone and cried more, she sat on floor and cried for an hour, she then remember the child growing inside her, she wiped her tears...
phir kisi dard ne mujhe kiya bekarar hai
humko tumse pyar hai
humko tumse pyar hai
humko tumse pyar hai
Zoya: you can't do this to me Mr. Khan, I m your wife, you have to answer me, apko kya lagta hai k mai bas rooti rahongi, NO, I know how to stand for my child, some days back I was wrong and that's why I left but now you have to think about me and my child... I m Zoya Asad Ahmad Khan and you have to answer me...
humko tumse pyar hai
humko tumse pyar hai
humko tumse pyar hai
