The members of Khan Family were present there except Asad... Zoya asked Ayan to bring him here just for a few minutes... Asad didn't want to face her but he gave in on Ayan's insist and came in the hall... all were confused because Zoya was going to tell them something important...
Zoya: Asad I know you didn't want to come and hear me out but trust me I will not bother you in future...
Asad was looking to the other side and she assumed that he wanted her to continue with her talk... Zoya came to Dilshad and held her hands...
Zoya: phupi aap ne hamesha mujhe apny bachon ki tarha pyaar dia aur shayad yehi wajah hai ke aaj aapi or jeeju ko kho deny ke bad bhi mjhy yakeen hai ke meri phupi mujhe akela nahi chorengi... she looked towards Asad... you always loved me more than Asad and maybe that's the reason you are happy and sad at the same time... Asad aur mere sath jo bhi hua uski saza aap sabko bhi mili hai aur...
Asad: tumhe ammi se bat karni thi toh mera time kyun waste kar rahi ho...
Zoya: mjhy aap se bhi bat karni hai... she looked back at Dilshad and continue... aap kehti thein ke ek larki apni zindagi main teen janam leti hai... pehla, jab wo beti ban kar apny maa baap ki zindagi main aati hai... dusra, jab wo kisi ki biwi banti hai... she looked at Asad... or teesra, jab wo maa banti hai... aap ne hamesha mera sath dia hai kya app mere is aakhri janam main mujhe dua dy sakti hain...
Dilshad: Zoya tum aisy kyun bat kar rahi ho beta... meri dua hamesha tumhare sath hai... she said with teary eyes...
Zoya: I know bohat zaida maang rahi hoon par is waqt mujhe sab se zaida apki zaroorat hai... ho saky toh mujhe maaf kar dejieye ga phupi, mene aap sab ko bohat hurt kiya hai par phir bhi aap se kuch maangna chahti hoon, will you come to New York with me going against Asad's wish... she asked with lots of hopes...
Dilshad: New York kyun Zoya???
Zoya: phupi main wapis ja rahi hoon... yeh ghar mera nahi raha aur wese bhi ab is ghar pe kisi aur ka haq hai... she said looking at Asad...
Ayan: ek minute Mona tum wapis ja rahi ho or tumne hume btaya bhi nahi...
Haider: haan Zoya tum aisi halat main nahi ja sakti...
Zoya: I need to go guys, yahan mujhe har pal ehsaas hota hai ke meri wajah se aapi or jeeju... she looked down as fresh tears brimmed in her eyes...
Ayan: Anwer mamu or Zeenat aapi ki moat ek hadsa thi Mona... he said cupping her face...
Zoya: nahi Ayan aapi jeeju mere pass aa rahy thy... agar woh yahan Bhopal main hote to shayad hum sab ek saath hote...
Haider: par tum wapis kyun ja rahi ho... please don't go... I have already lost my family Zoya, now I can't let you go... he pleaded...
Zoya: bachon ki tarha rona band karo mujhe Asad se bhi bat karni hai...
Taking a deep breath she came to Asad while Asad fisted his hand and composed himself as he didn't want to lash out on her...
Zoya: Asad sab se pehly main apko congratulate karna chahati hoon... I'm happy that you moved on but please do me a favor, Sara ko meri taraf se sorry bol dena...
Asad: bol lia jo bolna tha... can I leave now... he asked angrily...
Zoya: Asad mujhe nahi pata hum dono ke sath jo hua us main apki galti thi ya meri par jo bhi hua wo acha nahi hua...
Asad: everything happens for a good reason only, and if I'm not wrong you are the one who taught me this illogical fact...
Zoya: yeah... to be honest I don't know what you want from our relation but Asad I don't want you to bear it because of me... main apko is rishte se azadi dena chahti hoon... she said looking in his eyes...
Asad: tumhe bhi toh is rishte se azadi chahiye Zoya... he replied controlling his emotions...
Zoya: but it's not possible because of my pregnancy, well you don't need to worry at all...
Asad: what do you mean???
Zoya: you know how much I yearned for my father's love... no doubt aapi and jeeju gave me love anyone could have wished for but the emptiness was there... then you came in my life and fill it with noting but happiness, you gave me your name... Zoya Asad Ahmad Khan... but Allah Has planned something else for us, that's why I myself wants to separate my name from yours...
Asad: hey wait a sec, you are forgetting something, Siddiqui Sahab had already accepted you as his daughter so congratulations Zoya Siddiqui... he spoke sarcastically...
Zoya: thank you but no thank you... when I left this house, I didn't go to my father and seek shelter from him but that's not what I want to discuss... see you only need to bear me for five months I guess and later you can marry Sara...
Asad: but I don't need your permission to marry Sara, I can marry her without divorcing you...
Zoya: you can't divorce me Asad...
Asad: not now, but after your delivery I can... he replied calmly but only his heart knew how hard it was for him...
Zoya: Asad you can't...
Asad: but why, care to explain... he asked annoyingly...
Zoya: I was 2 months pregnant when doctors told me to abort the baby but I didn't want to do that sin and after my first trimester, I was being told that now I can't even abort if I want to... I can't deliver my baby normally so only cesarean case is left and considering the complications doctors can't save both of us...
All were shocked to hear this while Asad was rooted to his spot...
Zoya: I have already told doctor Neil to save my child in fact I have signed the form too as I don't want to bother anyone... so you don't need to divorce me Asad... she spoke with teary eyes...
Asad was numb, he had never imagined Zoya would be going through all this and he didn't even have any idea about it...
Zoya: I know you don't want me in your life but maybe it's written in our destiny and I have to live being Mrs. Asad Ahamd Khan... last five months of my life, I hope you allow it... she asked hopefully...
Ayan: are you out of your mind Mona, what the hell are you talking??? he asked her angrily...
Zoya: yehi sach hai Ayan aur haan yeh kuch papers hain jo tumhare kaam ayenge... she said handling him some papers...
Ayan and Haider hurriedly went through the papers...
Haider: tum aisa kese kar sakti ho Zoya... tum hosh main ho??? He asked holding her by her arms...
Zoya: hosh main hoon tabhi yeh sab kar rahi hoon, mai nahi chahti mere jaane ke baad Asad ko koi bhi pareshani ho...
Ayan and Haider looked at her in disbelief, what the hell she was doing??? Where Haider was trying to understand from his sister's POV, Ayan was more than angry, he held out those papers in front of her and asked...
Ayan: you have put my and Haider's name as guardians of your child, have you lost it???
Zoya: I don't want my child to come between Asad and Sara... she replied confidently...
Ayan: tumhara dimag kharab ho chuka hai...
Zoya: think whatever you want, Haider can you drop me at the airport... I'm getting late for my flight...
Haider: Zoya tum aisy nahi ja sakti... it's my nikah today aur tum yeh gift de rahi ho...
Zoya: I'm sorry but I have to go, are you coming or I should go on my own...
Zoya bid her final good bye to everyone and looked at Asad for the last time...
Asad (in thoughts): don't go... mat jao Zoya... please...
Zoya (in thoughts): stop me for once Asad... stop me please...
Bicharty Waqt Un Aankhon Main Thi Hamari Ghazal
Ghazal Bhi Wo Jo Kisi Ko Kabhi Sunai Na Thi
Zoya left for the airport with Haider while Ayan tagged them along, what if he was angry, he can't let her Mona go like that...
