AsYa FF- The Intern #3: Ch 38 Pg 114 - Page 15

Asad sat with Zoya holding her in the warmth of his arms, he couldn't stop laughing at Kaki's little act 'we should call her back' Zoya said 'I guess we should...and then?' 'Then what?' 'What next?' Zoya stood up and walked towards the table she picked up something and walked back towards him. 'What's this?' 'Your passport and ticket, we fly back to London this evening, 9pm flight' Asad looked at her stunned 'you serious?' 'Yes, I have a promise to keep and I don't want to miss any more classes' she said letting out a laugh. Asad stood up and took her by her hand 'Miss Farooqui by the time you get back to London you are going to be knackered' 'I will sleep in the plane...come on we need to get going'.

Unable to keep her eyes open Zoya leaned against his shoulder and let sleep consume her. Throughout the flight Asad kept his eyes on her, he held her hand gently in between his still not able to believe her held her as his

'Zoya...wake up' Asad whispered against her ear, Zoya started to stir. Opening her eyes a little she gave him the most beautiful smile he had ever seen 'wakey wakey sleepy head, we have started to descend' 'I slept the whole way?' Striking her face with his fingertips he leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, Zoya closed her eyes taking in his soft touch 'yes you did'. Sitting up Zoya straightened herself out before she put her seatbelt on; once she did she gave her hand back into Asad's holding it tightly all the way down.

Asad and Zoya looked at one another one last time before they knocked on Annie and Zack's door. After waiting a few moments Zoya turned towards him 'maybe they are sleeping, it is quite late' just as Asad was about to respond the door clicked. As soon as Annie saw them standing hand in hand her jaw dropped she was about to let out the biggest scream when Zack covered her mouth and pulled her back 'you want us to get kicked out if the hotel' as she struggled to get herself free Asad and Zoya stepped inside trying not to laugh out too loud. As soon as Zack let her go Annie threw her arms around Asad and started crying

Stroking the back of her head he shushed her 'hey don't cry...we finally did it...all because if you' Annie pulled back and wiped her tears 'you have no idea how long I have waited for this day' lifting his hand she placed a soft kiss on the back of it. Cupping the side of her face Asad placed a kiss on her head 'you are the best sister in the world' 'I know' she said laughing, making him laugh too.

After they all met one another they sat down 'would you like me to order some room service?' Zack asked 'no, I'm good. I should get back to my halls I have an early lecture tomorrow' Asad looked at her 'you leaving?' 'I have to, my clothes, books and all are back at halls...I will call you as soon as I finish, and I guess you still have your last two days of conference you can go to' 'OK, let me drop you' 'no, you get some rest I will get reception to call me a taxi' giving Zack and Annie one last hug Zoya made her way back down to reception with Asad.

'I should be finished by half one, I will come to meet you at the venue' 'you sure, it's so far' 'only a train journey away...my taxi is here, good night' lifting the hand that he was holding Asad kissed her fingers 'good night'.

Zoya got back to her halls and just about managed to change before she collapsed on her bed. As her eyes were closing her phone vibrated, it was a message from Asad

'Thank you for everything, I love you'

'I love you too'

She simply said and then closed her eyes

Huma was totally over the moon. She could wait for their lectures to be over so she could get hold of all the gossip.

As Zoya was going to the conference straight after lecture she invited Huma and Rahul too, both who were more than eager to meet the Mr Khan himself.

Straight after her lecture she text Asad to let him know she had finished and also that she was bringing her friends with her to attend the conference and workshops. With him being there he would easily get them authorisation to attend.

Walking towards the underground station Zoya was stopped by a man dressed in formal wear 'sorry for calling out to you ma'am are you Miss Farooqui?' Zoya looked at Huma looking confused 'umm yes I am, sorry who are you' 'your ride Miss' 'excuse me' 'Mr Khan has send a car for you and your friends, I will be driving you to the venue' Zoya started smiling 'your man sure knows how to impress' Huma said teasingly 'he doesn't impress Huma, it's just the way he is...thank you, please lead the way' she said looking back to the driver.

The driver pulled up outside the Excel Exhibition Centre, outside waiting for them were Zack and Annie 'hey, you finally made it' Annie said holding her arms out. Zoya hugged her and then Zack 'where is Asad?' 'Busy talking to some a team of people from Zambia...he has arranged for your passes, follow me'.

The place was over flowing with people, in the various rooms that surrounded had a lot of activity going on too. 'Is there any area in particular you want to visit, you have a list of events taking place for this afternoon on the board' Zack said 'Thank you, we will definitely have a look' Huma replied 'Zack, I think they want to meet Asad first...and then can venture off in whichever direction they like' 'Cool...oh just so you know, you have VIP passes so you have full access to the restaurant so please help yourself to any food and drink'.

Asad was talking to a group of people when he saw Zoya come in with her friends, followed by Zack and Annie 'Excuse me Miss Edwards, I will be back in a few moments' he said excusing himself from their conversation and then walked in her direction.

As Zoya saw him walk towards her she felt her heart race, she couldn't help the smile that adorned her face, and the way he looked at her made her cheeks turn bright pink. 'Hey, you made it he said coming to stand next to her' 'Yes, thank you for the lift...the underground would have sufficed' 'I know...but I wanted you to have a comfortable ride' Zoya gave him a loving smile before she turned around 'Asad, these are my friends Huma and Rahul' Asad held out his hand and greeted both of them.

Zoya started laughing at how Huma's mouth was still left open. Rahul leaned in closer to her 'you might catch a fly...shut that mouth of yours...the man is taken and so are you' Huma quickly closed her mouth and cleared her throat, after throwing a few murderous looks towards him she turned back to Asad 'it is great meeting you, thank you for the invite and the passes' 'no worries, please feel free to go to any section, I hope you enjoy the conference, it's the last few days'.

As they continued to make light conversation Rahul's eyes caught a careers stand 'they have a careers section here?' Asad looked back to where he was looking at and then to him 'Yes, a lot of the major companies always open up a few posts internationally, so people have an opportunity to apply' 'wow...something to definitely look at' 'yes, if you are looking to work abroad...I mean we also have three openings registered...if you are interested feel free to have a look and apply'.

'Asad, I need to get back to the other hall, I will catch you later' Annie said 'Zoya, don't leave without me, I need a girls night out after today' 'sure, no problem, I will see you later'

Zack started to speak to Rahul and Huma and then took them towards the careers leaving Asad and Zoya alone, finally.

'You look exhausted' she said stepping closer to him 'to be honest I am a little, just want to day to be over' 'when do you have to head back to India?' 'Annie booked our return flights for Sunday' Zoya's eyes expressed a certain sadness in four days' time...is that all?' Asad took her hand into his and gently squeezed it 'yes...I'm sorry I have to get back' 'I know...I am just being childish...I will just have to make the most of these four days then' Asad's eyes sparkled as he continued to smile in happiness.
