CHAPTER:22
------------------------
Zoya with her jiju came downstairs and saw ayaan's family sitting there. Aapi was angry with zoya for misbehaving but was happy that she finally came. While zoya stopped and jiju asked her "are u ok ?" "I don't know jiju whether I want to do this or not" jiju gave her a smile and just forwards his hand to her that everything is fine and she can do this. Zoya amiled and gave her hand in his and they walked down. Zoya introduced herself, and her aapi face palmed herself as she was not suppose to introduce her herself. And then zoya gave her aapi a what did I do look and she gave her a deathly look. Rashid and Shireen looked at eachother and Shireen asked zoya to sit with her while zoya told her that she is k where she is and be comfortable while ayaan was only looking at her and was trying to find out that why is she so normal. Zoya knew that what ayaan was thinking and then she gets a call, she excuses herself and gets to attend the call. On call its shifa whom zoya herself called to reschedule her dates. Shifa told her that its done but it will be real tiring for her too as she has made her schedule very tough. While zoya told her not to worry as she can't be anymore tired because she has seen the extreme in her life and now she will make things work. Shifa tells her that she is needed on set in an hour while zoya says that she will be there. She cuts the call and then comes to the gathered family, ayaan looks at her while she looked at him too then aapi called zoya to sit but she tells them that she accepts this proposal, all were shocked specially jiju and ayaan because jiju told her to teach them a lesson not to accept the proposal while ayaan Was shocked that how come zoya say yes to his proposal after what happened yesterday, at his home he heard that she accepted but he had doubt. Although shireen and rashid were here for this only but they didn't talked about any proposal yet and zoya was being a little too much straight forward. Aapi tried to cover it up but ayaan stood, he didn't asked anything but his gesture was already speaking too much. Zoya was zoya she never learnt to stop she dropped another bomb saying "she is only free on next Friday hence the nikkah will take place on Friday". Jiju looked at Zoya inquiring while zoya gave him a trust me look and he got the hint that zoya has something on her mind. But aapi was not understanding or she never wanted to understand asked zoya but zoya cut her dialogue and told her that she is getting late as she is needed on the set. She left the place leaving everybody shocked. Rashid and shireen were quite awkward with all happened while aapi tried to apologize.
Asad was all heartbroken he was not interested in anything. He regretted his act and now what is done he feels can not be redeemed but his inside called that "zoya is only yours", Asad answered "but she accepted ayaan";"u made her take this decision";"what should I do then";"go claim her, claim her from the whole world";"I can't she is someone else now";"what are u? Zoya is not a thing that anybody can go take her, but I won't deny that u have made her one by trading her";"I didn't do anything like that";"she is and always will be yours because she only loves not ayaan nobody";"but...";"what u saw was one side of the mirror but u don't know what actually stand behind it" Asad remembered his romantic moments with her how she loved and believed him and how he broke her believe. How he hurt her.
He got into action and called zoya but she never picked he went out running and got into his car and went straight to zoya house.
He went in to find aapi and jiju there while watchman came running saying u can't get in as zoya madam didn't allowed to let u enter. Jiju turned to face him and then told watchman that I will take care u go. He went and Asad came in "where is zoya?" Jiju didn't knew who he was but from his face it was clear that he is the same man Asad whom zoya after hating can't hate. His eyes spoke much then his actions. Jiju tried to be cool "may I know who is asking for her?";"Asa... I wo actually...is she at home" his hesitation was clearly indicating that he is regretting what he has done and now he wants her at any cost."she is gone on shoot" Asad was waiting for this and he turned around to leave when he stopped for a moment and thanked and then ran back to his car. Aapi asked jiju that why did he tell an anonymous person about zoya but jiju told her if he is anonymous then we both are anonymous. Jiju went from there and aapi said "matlab??"
Asad came to the set but was not allowed to get in as zoya has told everybody not to let this man in but Asad entered by force and saw zoya crying. He stopped at far seeing her cry and slowly walked toward her and imagined as if he is consoling her and she has forgiven him
but the sound of CUT and he came to reality and saw zoya wiping her tears she turned around and called someone for tissue while Director came to her and said u were awesome, u just cried so naturally today, keep it up. While zoya with a faint smile said "when the pain is in heart no matter how hard u try to hide it but pain makes its way to the face." Asad went to her and put his hand on shoulder and she instantly noticed that he is Asad. She had mixed emotion, she was happy at the same time angry. She closed her eyes to feel his touch and then the tears flow down her eyes. Asad was feeling so guilty but he was waiting for her to turn although he didn't knew whether he will be able to see in her eyes when she turns.
Finally she wiped her tears and turned. Asad looked at her teary eyes and looked down with guilt. She could see him in pain as she knew that there was something more to his disapproval but still she was not ready to forgive him so soon. Zoya looked straight at him while he couldn't do the same. she without listening to him tried to ignore an get away from there but he stopped her.
Then finally he said "ms.faro...zoy...I...";"security!!!!" Zoya shouted Asad looked up at her "Zoya I just...";"security!!!";"yes ma'am..." The guards came running in... Zoya looked at Asad and asked the guards "why did u let him in... I told u not to let him in.";"we tried but he...";"Zoya just give me a minute." Zoya dismissed the guards and turned around."plz prepare the next shot"; director turned to her "Zoya there is a half an hour break";"D plz make it now, we can add this half an hour In the next break.";"ok,just 5 min" director went to prepare the shot while Asad looked at Zoya who was trying to make herself as busy as she can."Zoya...!"; Zoya heard him again call her and said "shifa!!!shifa!!! Where is...";"I love u zoya!"
She heard him and closed her eyes and tears flow down her cheeks while he continued."I am so sorry Zoya... I... I .." Zoya turned around and said "what sorry haan what sorry, I agree there is a tradition of u guys first insult somebody to death and then say sorry all ok and done... Mr.khan I believed u and u made me believe that love is nothing, u know what more than u my fans love me." ;"Zoya what u heard and saw was not real, that was not me." Zoya was about to answer back when ayaan came in and zoya saw him walking in. Zoya walked pass Asad and held him by his arm romantically while ayaan was surprised and Asad was shocked. Then Zoya continued "meet my fianc mr.khan...ur little love ur brother...right?" Asad was heartbroken and he clutched his jaws with anger because in front of him that man was standing who was guilty for everything happening but he couldn't do anything as he was his own brother, whom he loves more than he loves himself. Zoya says "u know what mr.khan that day what u heard...u saw was not me...this is me." Asad made a fist of his hand while she continued "next Friday we are getting married...(controlling her tears and quivering)... Do come plz..."
Director called Zoya and she excused herself saying "I am leaving u both brothers together, be a good company for each other." Zoya turned around to go from there while Asad looked at her and then she finally left.
ayaan was confused as to what the hell is going on he was taking it wrong way that zoya might have started to like him. While Asad wanted to kill the man standing in front of him but the man was his brother. Ayaan tried to talk to him but he walked from there.
In the evening Zoya gets a call from shifa and gets to know that ayaan is the same person who sued her and then she remembers the court scene where aslam came on behalf of ayaan. Zoya was now much angry as to how ayaan thought that she could marry him after what he did. Then she thinks that at that time she was wrong and what he did was professionally right. But then she thinks that why didn't he ever told her. Zoya says "these brothers are insane really man"
Zoya came late after shooting and she was visibly tired. She came and sat on her bean bag closing her eyes to rest a bit when she heard a knock on her door. "Yes??" Replied a tired Zoya. "Are u asleep Zoya?" She heard her jiju voice. Zoya corrected herself and said "no...not at all jiju... Plz come in." Jiju walked in saying "I am sorry for disturbing u...its just that I wanted to ask how was ur day." As he knew that she must have met Asad today. "He came jiju... He came to apologize... But ...";"but what Zoya? He really loves u and he regrets what he did." Zoya knew that he do but she was not still satisfied "I know jiju he loves me but he doesn't love me much that he can claim me.";"hmmm...";"he had the courage to reject me without any reason then why can't he accept me when I am with someone else why can't he say that she is mine...why can't he?"... She said all this quivering and his jiju was understanding much than she was telling. She said "I know he loves me but what reason could be so big that he agreed to forget me, he was ready to live his whole life without me, I don't love him anymore...I don't lov...";"u still do... U still do love him.." Jiju said while smiling and zoya couldn't stop her tears any longer and let them out while she hugged him."that's enough Zoya...that's enough";"jiju...I... I can't hate him even after all he did I can't hate him I tried so hard but I just can't.";"Zoya it's ok we will talk to him and everything will be fine";"no jiju...no ... until and unless he in front of everyone accepts me, I won't forgive him not at all... I mean am I a joke or something, anytime u break my heart and then later come and sorry." Jiju laughed at her wish and then Zoya said "and jiju look at the courage of other idiot brother he thinks that after all what happened he really thinks that I am gonna live with him, I will get married to him." Jiju laughed again and said "if u are done within complaints than I am going to sleep.","yes jiju...good night" wiping her tears and smiling. "Good night Zoya!";"good night jiju "
Asad again was not sleepy and dilshad was aware of it she was about to enter his room but she gets a call. Dilshad wonders that who is there so late. She picks up the call "asalamoalikum!";"walikumasalam dilshad b, I am anwar, sorry to call u so late but I couldn't wait for the morning.";"what r u saying anwar, u r like younger brother to me u can call anytime.";"I actually wanted to talk about Asad and...and zoya.";"I know what u want to talk about, I am really sorry for what Asad did, I truly am...";"no ..no plz don't say like this,I ... I want to present my desire for Asad and zoya's nikah ... only if u agree." Dilshad was stunned that after what happened anwar still wants this."anwar I ...";"dilshad b I know what happened was not right and Asad's actions are unforgivable in any mean but we can't deny that they still love each other.";"anwar nothing can be such a good news as this.";"then should I take it as a yes";"of course I will just go and tell Asad";"yes...yes obviou...as...Asad...no...no ...u won't tell him anything.";"will not tell him anything but why isn't it a good news.";"yes it is but there is a plan".anwar tells her the plan she agrees to be a part of it.
Days past and there was no progress in there relation Tuesday came only a few day left and zoya occupied herself too much in work that she didn't wanted to think about Asad but obviously she couldn't. Dilshad and anwar's every plan was going fail because both unwilling wanted to forget each other and occupied themselves in work. Aapi was much happier to see the wedding coming nearer. Ayaan was happy because he was going to have what he wanted, but was having a feel of guilt too deep inside which was suppressed under the unhappy happiness.
Their sangeet came and zoya was on shoot on that day too. Aapi called her "Zoya where are u?";" aapi am on set and will not come tonight as there's a very important sequence going on.";"what do u mean u won't come tonight,Zoya today is ur sangeet and already the groom side has come all are waiting for bride and the bride is not even saying that I will be late she is saying I won't come tonight...like seriously";"aapi I...";"Zoya I don't know anything I want u here in 15min that's it";"that's impossible even if I take helicopter than even I won't be there that fast.";"I don't know anything either u be here or I will come there" and she cuts the call while Zoya tried to call her again but she didn't picked. Zoya looked up after trying to call again to find shifa standing. "What!!??" Asked Zoya."why did u lied?";"what...what r u talking about"; "Zoya why are u doing this to ur self, here u have no scene tonight besides that after a week u r having a night off and u r not willing to go home.";"allah miyaan what's wrong with u I am fine.";"u know what Zoya when a patient doesn't accept that he is ill till then he can't be cured and same is the case with u, u don't want to accept that u r effected by all this, but u are."; shifa held her hands and made her sit. "Zoya I don't know how ayaan is, he loves u or not but after all what happened u r very lucky to have someone who know about ur past, today is ur sange...";"enough!!What do u know I am going through, it's very easy to say but for me it's very difficult to do, that sangeet is to celebrate the happiness, it's a proof and token of my love for my fianc but which fianc who is the brother of a man who made my happy life hell who came like a tornado and destroyed everything, for u it could be easy but for me it's not." She completed and then shifa signaled someone standing behind her. Shifa excused herself. Zoya looked at Asad and he looked down as he heard everything.
Zoya in her mind says "I wish u could stop me from going so far from u, I wish..." But he didn't say a word he was always very poor in expressing his words thus Zoya left without listening and saying anything.
Asad went to his home and saw dilshad dressed up. Dilshad told him that "u r going with me on a sangeet." Asad was in no mood "ammi u plz take najma with u.";"I said u r going with me and najma is having exams.";"ammi...!!";"no ammi Asad ... I am waiting ... u should be here in 5 min." Asad leaves while dilshad calls and tell anwar that he is coming.
There Zoya in her room sat. Zeenath came in and zoya turned around and wiped her tears." Thank God u came ok get ready the function is about to start." Aapi heard sniffing of her and came to her "Zoya r u crying?";"no aapi why would I...I...I told u na there was an important scene going on so there was use of tears, these are just artificial.";"Zoya look at me, when did u start telling lie to ur aapi.";"there is nothing like that.";"there is and look Zoya I know u always thought that aapi is always behind me getting married and all, yes I was but Zoya not at the cost of ur happiness, u can still say no if u r not happy, haan aapi thorda gussa keray gi but nothing is more important than u, ok?"Zoya nodes while Aapi left the room.
At sangeet Asad arrives to find that it's Zoya's sangeet he turns to leave when dilshad holds his hand and Asad say "ammi this..";"I know Asad but u made relations worse and I want to mend them I am shameful that after what u did to them they took the initiative and invited us as we should have been the first to go and apologize."Asad is made to stay by dilshad while ayaan looks at him but Asad looks away and then Zoya is brought down . Zoya through the crowd saw Asad and was shocked that he came and that he is happy that I am going so far from him thus she concludes that all his asking for forgiveness was all drama. After she is comes downstairs where Asad was standing with dilshad jiju came running and with the help of his leg he made Zoya fall in Asad's arms. They get into awkward yet romantic eyelock there eyes spoke more than they did, Zoya's eyes complaining while Asad's eyes trying to justify. They came into senses when aapi asked Zoya is she ok while anwar and dilshad face palmed. Zoya went and sat besides ayaan and ayaan tried to impress her by admiring her "u looking very beautiful Zoya." Zoya was looking at Asad only and replied " jis ki khubsorti ko dard ne undar se thord diya ho ussay khud ko qayam rakhney k liye bahr se tu khobsorat lagna hi parday ga na.[whose inner beauty is torn by pain, she has to look beautiful externally to contain herself]";ayaan knew what she was talking about thus he remained quiet rest of the function. Asad and zoya imagined themselves on every dance and they were only looking at each other the whole time. Zoya says in mind that "mr.khan in front of ur eyes I am sitting with someone else as his and u still don't have courage to hold my hand and say that zoya is only mine, why? was our love fake"Then Zoya forwards her hand to ayaan. While ayaan happily took it and went to dance ,the lights turned off and a spot light was on ayaan and zoya but still Zoya could see Asad, Zoya danced with ayaan but her eyes were with Asad, then Zoya went closer to ayaan which was something unexpected to him and he finally thought that she is in love with him and has forgotten Asad so he moved his hands on her bare back. While Zoya turned his eyes to ayaan as to what he is doing, Asad went away unable to see all this. Zoya was in great discomfort, she tried to part herself from him but ayaan took her aside away from everyone where Asad was already standing and pinned her against the wall to kiss her but she jerked him away and slapped him tight which alarmed Asad and he went there to see ayaan and zoya while he was not visible to both of them. Ayaan shocked asked "Zoya?";"how dare u even think of it, u don't have brains right, first of all how can u think of it and secondly after all this what was done how could u."Zoya cried out aloud while Asad stood there listening all this "but Zoya I thought u loved me.";"Meray dil pe sirf ek naam likha hai Asad Ahmad khan"
ayaan was shocked while Asad was happy that she stil loves me, and he left the place happily he went from there as this mere moment told him the unspoken complaints of Zoya "What made u think that i love you haan love is too far I never considered u as my friend even" Zoya shouted at him. ayaan walked backward "she doesn't love me ...not even friends." Ayaan then held her tight making her wince "but I left everything for u."; Zoya struggled "leave me alone,I never told u to do this."; ayaan left her and she leaves a heartbroken ayaan alone. Ayaan drops on his knees and screams. while zoya cries
and asad felt relief after so long maybe because he knew what he has to do now.
Ayaan after that comes to meet Asad and hug him but he stops ayaan while ayaan asks "kiya ek bhai dosray bhai ko maaf nahi ker sakta?";"ayaan u said ur self that we are not brothers but STEP brothers.";"bhaijaan that was my mistake forgive me for that...plz";"kaisay maaf ker doon what u did was not mistake but was a sin." Saying this Asad went to his car and after sometime dilshad came and they both left. While ayaan kept on watching them till they departed with apology in his eyes.
A day passed and Friday came. Jiju comes to Zoya and asks her that "today is nikah Zoya";"I know jiju.";"are u ready?"; Zoya didn't answered and anwar got his answer he stood to leave when Zoya called him "jiju!!"; (without turning toward her)"hmmm?!!";"will he come too today." Jiju smiled as he knew she is only concerned about him, "hmm.." And then saying this jiju went from there while a tear dripped down her eye and she looked up at the moon.
