SHADES OF RED
It was one hot afternoon of Bhopal. The whole Khan Villa seems silent with only two women of the Villa were engrossed in checking the invitation cards as per the guest list. Suddenly the front door pushed open & the Man of the villa entered, his eyes were spitting anger, followed by him a girl in a blue jeans & pink top entered, frustration was written all over her face. The two ladies stood up in hurry to see the other two in such a horrible mood.
"Asad what happened why you are looking so troubled", Dilshad asked worriedly. She glanced back at Zoya & raised her brows trying to ask her what the matter was?
"Ammi how I supposed to look when I accompanied Ms. Farooqui", he questioned back in a furious tone.
"I didn't tell you to accompany me Mr. Khan" Zoya retorted back
"Ohh yes that was my fault only, mera dimag kharab ho gaya tha ke main aapke sath shopping karne ke liye maan gaya" Asad answered in a same fury.
They continued with their fight while Dilshad & najma stood there thinking now what goes wrong with them. Finally Dilshad interrupted them
"Kya hua hai Asad Kyu us bechari ko..." she tried to ask but Asad cut her in between
"Ammi woh bechari nahi hai, ask her what happened, inke perfect shade of red ke chakkar main meri important meeting cancel ho gayi".
"Phoopi aap hi bataiye ek ladki ke liye nikaah ka joda kitna important hota hai, mujhe bhi mere nikaah ka joda ekdam perfect chahiye, jaisa maine socha hai, toh main kya galat hu?" Zoya asked innocently to Dilshad
"Oh no...Miss Farooqui toh kabhi galat ho hi nahi sakati, galat to main hu jo subah se pure Bhopal ke shops ki sair kar raha hun" Asad said looking at her angrily
"Allah Miyan what's wrong with you Mr. Khan aap..." Zoya try to say something but Asad cut her words.
"ohh shut up Ms. Farooqui, I don't want to listen about your Ruby Red & all stupid stuff...apko jo karna hai kijiye but please spare me", he shouted at her & walked back to his room.
Zoya stomped her foot, "You are so mean Mr. Khan aapko kisi ke jazbaat ki jara si bhi kadar nahi hai"
"Oh & you are so childish & stupid Ms. Farooqui aapko dusron ke waqt ki jara si bhi parvah nahi hai", He said turning back to her again.
"Uff...Arrogant man", Zoya huffed in annoyance & walked back to her room.
"Incredibly foolish ladki", Asad cursed her & turned to go back to his room
Both slammed the door of their respective rooms. Dilshad & Najma stood there looking at each other bewildered.
"Yah Allah kya karu main in donon ka", dilshad said & slumped in sofa.
*****************
Earlier that Morning
Dilshad was in kitchen & Najma & Zoya were at the dining table, arranging the breakfast.
"Are Zoya aaj tum aur Asad jake Nikaah ka joda le kar ao, maine Asad se bat kar li hai ", Dilshad said coming to the dining table.
"Phoopi main apke saath bhi to ja sakti hu na, Mr. khan busy rahenge", Zoya said trying to convince her as she don't want to bother Mr. Khan.
"Zoya... Dilshad said but stopped seeing Asad coming out of his room ready in his three piece suit. He settled in his usual seat.
"Asad tum office ja rahe ho, maine kaha tha tumhe Zoya ke saath jana hai", Dilshad asked him
"Ammi meri important meeting hain office main I can't cancel that so aap Ms Farroqui ke sath chale jaiye", Asad said unfolding the newspaper.
"Asad main kuch bhi nahi sunungi, tum Zoya ke saath ja rahe ho bas", Dilshad said in a firm tone
"But Ammi..." Asad tried to said but stopped looking at his Ammi's face.
"Thik hai Ammi main meeting postpone karata hun", he said picking up his phone & dialing a no. to his office.

At the Boutique
"Ms. Farooqui aapko in me se kuch bhi pasand nahi aya?" Asad asked her looking at the counter covered with so many beautiful red lehengas
"No Mr. Khan that is not the Shade of Red I want. Hum kisi aur shop main chalate hain na?" Zoya said simply.
"Ms farroqui hum subah se das shop ghum chuke hai aur aap ek lehenga select nahi kar payi", He said massaging his temples.
Looking at the couple arguing the attendant came towards them
"Madam, come I'll show you some more designs" attendant said to zoya guiding her to the other counter.
"See madam you will like this design", she said spreading the beautiful red lehenga on the counter with heavy silver work on it. "It will look pretty on you madam", she added.
"Yes this is beautiful but this is the maroon shed & I want a Ruby red", Zoya said rejecting the beautiful designer piece.
"Madam then look, this is the latest design you will surely like this, beautiful blend of Red, Gold & Blue", attendant try to convince Zoya
"Nahi, aap samaz nahi rahi hai I want simple Ruby Red Lehanga", zoya again rejected but the attendant still come with another Red & Green lehenga with Gold work on it & ochre yellow color dupatta, but Zoya was not satisfied with that Scarlet Red color.
Asad stood there watching the whole drama. That was the height of his patience. "Enough of your nonsense Ms. Farooqui, mere paas fizul ka waqt nahi hai aapke saath pure Bhopal ki shops ki sair karane ke liye..."
"But Mr. khan...
"Ohh just shut up Ms Farooqui, aap ko samaz..." he halted as he sensed his phone was ringing. He walked out of the shop receiving the call.
"Yes Prasad I will be there in half an hour tum...what? Why didn't you call me then?" He shouted & cut the call. Shutting his eyes he banged his fist on the bonnet of his car.
Mr. Khan...? Zoya followed him out of the shop; she got scared looking at him so furious.
He turned to look at her, his eyes were red in anger, "Yeh sab aap ki wajah se hua hai, aapki yeh jo bachkani harkate haina, aapko pata hai kitni important deal thi ye mere liye, but nahi aapka dimag in stupid shades ke aage chalta toh na..." he raked his fingers in his hairs frustrated & opening the car door settled in the driver's seat.
Zoya stood there stunned hearing his outburst. She looked at him & then walked to the car, opening the door she sat in passenger seat equally annoyed with his behavior. He started the car & zoomed towards the home.
PRESENT...
"Najma Zoya ko bulao to lunch ke liye main Asad ko dekhati hun", dilshad said walking towards the Asad's room.
Najma obliged her mother & went to Zoya's room.
"Zoya ammi apko lunch ke liye bula rahi hai, please darwaza kholiye"
"Najma muze abhi bhookh nahi hai aap log lunch karlo main bad mei aa jaungi"
"Zoya aap thik toh hai na?" Najma asked as she sensed her broken tone.
"Najma I m fine, tum lunch karlo"
Najma returned back from her door whereas Dilshad came back from the Asad's room. He also denied for lunch.
Zoya's Room
Coming to the room Zoya sat on her bed leaning to the headboard with the cushion on her lap. She was angry & hurt by his behavior. She always wants everything perfect for her Nikaah, but this is what she wants? The thought touched her mind.
"Allah Miya what's wrong with me, main yeh kyun bhool jati hun ke yeh toh ek drama hai, Mr. Khan sirf phoopi ke liye yeh sab kar rahe hain".
This thought of Nakli Nikaah always pinched her heart, how much she wants it to be real, she always sense that he has some feelings for her, his eyes conveyed that but his actions made her think the other way.
"mujhe Mr. Khan se mafi mangni hogi, kuch pal ke liya main to bhul hi gayi thi ke ye nakli hai". Tears made their ways to her cheek but pushing back them she closed her eyes.
Asad's Room
Asad was hell angry that moment, he was just thinking about his canceled deal. Picking up the laptop he settled on his bed typing the mail. Soon he got immersed in his work. Dilshad came to call him for lunch but he denied & continued with his work.
After fixing the matter he placed the laptop aside & leaning back closed his eyes. He recalled the morning incident & felt guilty for hurting Zoya again.
How much she wants everything perfect for the Nikaah, that means she wants this for real, He thought. The smile formed on his lips as he recalled her arguing for the perfect Ruby red.
I know I hurt you so much... I am sorry Zoya...I will make everything perfect...he whispered & decide to confess his feelings soon.
It was the dinner time. Asad came out of his room & sat on his usual seat. Dilshad & Najma was busy in arranging the things. He glanced at the closed door of Zoya's room. He looked at his mother as he want to ask her about Zoya but then keep mum hearing the sound of door opened. Zoya came out of her room & sat on her chair. He looked at her sad face & felt guilty for ruined her mood.
"Zoya kal main tumhare saath chalungi shopping ke liye, Najma ki friend ki boutique hai na uske saath maine bat ki hai" dilshad said caressing Zoya's head lovingly.
"Nahi Phoopi aapko jo bhi pasand aye wo le kar ajana" Zoya said smiling at her.
Hearing her Asad looked up from his plate, He can sense her sadness.
"Ab mujhe hi kuch karna padega is Ruby Red ke liye", he thought.
"Waise toh yeh gloomy look se woh angry red color hi suit hota hai inpe", he chukled on his own thought. Ms Farooqui ka asar mujhpe bhi hone laga hai, thinking he finished his dinner & walked back to his room.
Zoya glanced at his retreating back sadly & joined Najma in cleaning.
After finishing with the chores all three of them retired to their respective rooms.
Changing into the nightwear Zoya came out of the washroom. "mujhe Mr. Khan se baat karni hogi" she thought & came out of her room. She was going to knock his door & the same moment Asad opened the door.
"Ms. Farroqui aap...woh ... main aapke pas hi aa raha tha... woh... actually... kuch bat karni thi aapse..." he said looking at Zoya, who was looking down at the moment.
She looked up at him after a moment, "Woh... Mr. khan I m sorry... woh subah mere wajah se aapki deal cancel ho gayi... Main kuch pal ke liye bhool gayi thi ki yeh sab to drama hai... I m sorry..." she said & looked down not letting him to look in her eyes.
Asad's heart ached hearing her words, he want to hug her at instant, he want to scream that, this is not a drama, kuch nakli nahi hai... he remain silent thinking how to express his thoughts. After some time Zoya looked up, her eyes were brimming with tears... She turned not wanting to reveal her tears to him
"Good Night Mr. Khan" wishing him she walked towards her room.
Asad came out of his thought looking at her moving to her room, he held her wrist instantly. Zoya halt in her track & turn to look at their hands.
"Ms. Far...Zoya..." he called & she turned to look at him. He came to her & holding her both hands in his looked in her eyes.
"Zoya I am sorry, maine bahot hurt kiya hai tumhe..."
"Nahi Mr. Khan woh to main hi..." She said but he interrupted her
"Zoya yeh kuch bhi nakli nahi hai, main yeh nikaah sirf ammi ke liye nahi karana chahata balki muze such me tumse nikaah karna hai... this is real Zoya... This is the biggest truth of my life not any drama..." He said & tears rolled down from her eyes. He wiped the tears with his thumb holding her face in his palms.
"Maine bahot koshish ki tumhe batane ki but tum janati ho na main kitna emotionally challenged hun? But now I'll make it real...just the way you want...the way you wish...everything will be perfect Zoya..."
He wiped her tears & releasing her face hold her hand, "come I want to show you something", He said & guide her to his room. Coming to the bed he made her sit & getting his laptop sat beside her.
"Look at this", he said showing her the laptop screen. "Is this the perfect Red you want Zoya?" He asked her showing the images of Red Lehengas, one is the Ruby Red net based with purple stone studded with heavy dupatta & the other is Ruby Red with golden embroidery on it with stone studded golden bordered dupatta.
Zoya's eyes widen seeing the perfect red she wished. "Allah Miyan this is the color I want Mr. Khan, exact Red..." She squealed with happiness, you are best Mr. Khan...I loooveee yooou sooo much!!!! She sang with excitement wrapping her hands around his neck. But soon realized what she said, slowly she untangled herself from him & looked up at him narrowing her eyes, his eyebrows raised & he was grinning ... she looked down embarrassed.
"Zoya I think yeh Shade tumhe zyada suit karta hai", he said placing his finger under her chin to make her look at him &caressed her crimson cheeks with his fingers. The shade of crimson turned beet root red in his intense gaze & feather like touch of his fingers & getting all shy she hide her face in his chest.
