AsYa FF - The Intern #4: Ch 62 & 63 Pg 122 COMPLETED - Page 75

By the time Zoya got up to go to her own room she heard the lift, turning around she saw Zack and Asad walk in 'how is fatty?' Zack said earning a big whack from Zoya 'ouch...what was that for' 'for being so rude' 'I was joking Bruce Lee' 'well not funny...she is sleeping, she looks very tired...so don't disturb her' Zack rolled his eyes at her 'you think I want another bruised arm...not thanks' 'such a drama queen' she said as he walked off

'Did Rahul get back ok?' 'Yes he did...I thought you would have gone to sleep by now' 'I would have but I wanted to see you' Asad wrapped his arm around her and kissed the side of her head 'can you wait a few more minutes, I need to change out of this' 'sure, you want a coffee' 'if you don't mind' 'of course not, you go, I'll come in a moment'

By the time Asad came out of the shower Zoya had brought his coffee in 'thank you' he said taking the cup from her 'Did Ammi call you today?' 'Yes, she did...she confirmed her travel details, she was asking me about the Nikah'

Asad sat down on the bed next to Zoya 'what was she asking?' 'She had a long list, wanted to confirm the venue, the guest list, the outfits, the food...you name it she wanted to discuss it' Zoya started laughing 'sounds like a grand affair' 'it most certainly will be...ok with you?' 'Of course...my fairy tale wedding' 'and...whatabout your fairy tale honeymoon, where would you like to go?' Zoya smiled at him shyly 'you can chose' 'how about we both chose, you pick one destination and I pick another' 'really, I get to go on two holidays for the price of one' Asad started laughing 'well that's one way of putting it' 'Thailand' 'ok, done' 'now your turn, what's the second destination?' 'That one...let's keep that under wraps for now...a little surprise'

Zoya started pouting 'not fair Mr Khan' 'you need to stop doing that with your lip Zoya' 'Ya Allah...what are you like' 'until you say Qubool Hai I guess you won't really know...but for now' Zoya started to giggle as she closed the gap between them and took over her airwaves with his.

Time kept on ticking by, Nasima and Maheen were already here and Annie's due date got closer and closer. Looking after Annie, Zoya got very little time to spend on her own wedding preparations. Maheen along with Asad, Zack and Sohail, who had managed to fly in on time spent all their time organising their big day.

'Zoya, I am so sorry' Annie said looking sad 'huh...sorry, what for?' 'it's your wedding and you are here instead of out there' Zoya looked at her oddly 'Annie, there is no other place in the world I would rather be...I have the best team taking care of that...so stop saying sorry' 'can you help me up...I can't move, this baby is huge'. Zoya helped Annie up and just as she took a step forwards she yelped in pain grabbing the side of her stomach 'Annie' Zoya called out in panic 'are you ok...what's wrong' 'I...I don't know...I just...this sharp pain...Ya Allah...Zoya...' 'Annie you can't be going in labour, you still have two weeks to go' 'Zoya...stop your calculations get me to the hospital, I think it's coming' Zoya screamed out to Kaki and Nasima.

Zack, Asad, Maheen and Sohail made it to the hospital in time 'where is she...is she ok?' Zack asked worried 'yes she is fine, you can go in' Kaki said who was waiting outside.

Zack walked in to find Annie in a lot of pain 'Annie...' He said as he held her hand in his 'you're going to be ok...we are going to be ok...Zoya...oxygen where is the oxygen mask' he said almost hyperventilating Zoya looked at him and then Nasima and then started laughing.

'Excuse me, I am going to have to ask one of you to leave' the doctor said as she came in to see Annie 'I will go' Zoya said. She quickly kissed Annie on the head 'just keep reciting His name, all will be ok'

As Zoya stepped outside Asad took her in his hold 'how is she' 'tired...nearly there'

After another testing fifty minutes Nasima came running out with tears of happiness 'it's a boy, we have a little boy' As everyone closed their eyes and sent a silent prayer Zoya turned towards Asad 'told you so' Asad rolled his eyes at her 'ok...fine you told me so...but just you remember I want a mini Zoya' Zoya opened her mouth as wide as she could making him laugh.

As everyone met Annie they cried with happiness 'congratulations...you did it' Zoya said hugging her.

The whole family stood around fighting over who was going to hold the baby next 'have you thought of a name?' Asad asked 'Bhaijaan, we would like you and Zoya to name him' Asad and Zoya looked at one another 'Annie...us, I mean' 'please Bhaijaan' Zoya looked at the little baby she held so delicately in her hand 'Zayn Ahmed Khan' she said in one breath. Everyone started smiling 'it's a beautiful name Zoya' Nasima said cupping the side of her face.

Nasima and Zoya stayed with Annie and Zayn overnight. Annie was extremely tired and found feeding him difficult, which Nasima and Zoya helped her with.

'Annie, he looks just like you' Zoya whispered as she stroked his little cheek 'you think...I think he looks like Zack' 'he does' Nasima said if you see pictures of Zack when he was born you wouldn't be able to tell the difference'

Annie was allowed to go home the next day, she walked into the apartment to be greeted by cheers and lots of clapping. Zack and Asad had arranged a small welcoming party at home. Annie looked towards Zack and thanked him it's a wonderful surprise, thank you'.

As Kaki took Zayn from her, Annie sat down and enjoyed her time with her family and friends.

Maheen, Nasima and Kaki were all taking it in turns to look after Zayn 'with them all around I don't think I am going to feel like a mother' Annie joked 'not at all...he isn't just your baby, he is OUR baby' Zoya said putting her arm around her 'well now that OUR baby is home...we need to start sorting you out...you have less than a month' make that three weeks' Zoya said looking a little nervous.

The whole family had the craziest two weeks leading up to the wedding. The only person who didn't feel the craziness was Annie as she busied herself with Zayn, she wasn't allowed to do anything else.

Zoya who was too busy playing with Zayn in his nursery failed to notice the two people standing by the door. Maheen and Asad had come in to get her as she needed to try on her wedding outfit but were left in awe seeing her play.

'I can't wait for the day I hold your baby in these hands Asad' 'give us a few moments to ourselves first Ammi' 'I will...but not too long...look at her she is a natural' Asad gave her a warm smile, he had to agree with her Zoya looked as if she had always had a baby, it suited her.

'Zoya' Asad called out. Zoya looked up 'Hey...look Zayn Badi Daddo and Big Dadda are here' she said picking him up and walking towards them 'Zoya give Zayn to me, and you go with Asad' Zoya kissed Zayn 'Ammi, I think he is due a feed soon' 'don't worry I will sort him out, you go'

Zoya followed Asad out 'where are we going?' 'To the designer's they have your outfits ready...wanted you to try them on' 'cool, let me grab my bag'

Zoya tried on her mehndi and wedding outfits 'Shama, they are beautiful, seriously...I don't know what to say, thank you' she said hugging the girl who designed and put together her two outfits, one for the mehndi and for the Nikah.

Asad who waited patiently outside stood up as Zoya walked back outside 'you done?' 'Yes' 'I guess I will have to wait to see them' 'Yes you will...only a few more days to go' Asad tapped the tip of her nose 'a few days too many in my opinion' Zoya shook her head laughing no patience, come on lets go...I need to pick up Annie's outfit too, its ready'

Carrying more bags than he could cope with Asad and Zoya finally made their way back home.

Kaki, Nasima, Maheen and Zack made sure that they had absolutely everything in place. All their luggage was packed and all arrangements made to perfection the whole family booked into the Royal Mahal Hotel, where the whole wedding was going to take place. Asad had booked out three large suits for them and a number of rooms for their guests including Huma, Rahul and Huma's parents.

With extra help hired Annie and Zoya had a lot less to deal with. Kaki took it upon herself to look after Zayn, she refused to let anyone else touch him.

Rahul and Zack came back from the airport with Huma and her parents.

Zoya who seemed a little shy at first hugged Shazia and Arif dearly 'Mubarak beta, thank you for having us here with you' 'how could I not aunty...please come, I would like to introduce you to my family.

Arif and Shazia met Asad, Maheen, Annie, Nasima, Zayn and Kaki. After settling into their rooms they all met up for dinner, the lot of them made a lot more noise than intended as they enjoyed each other's company.

Asad and Zoya excused themselves as they needed to go and check over the hall decorations for the mehndi 'Zack did you confirm the time with the DJ?' 'Yes, I did...I got the Dhol players too...don't worry all is in hand'

Asad and Zoya were left speechless 'I can't believe what they have done with it...it's better than I had ever imagined it' Zoya twirled around and around smiling and laughing in pure happiness, something that made his heart swell and eyes moisten in happiness too.

Grabbing hold of her hand he pulled her in and hugged her dearly. As Zoya took a step back he took her hands into his, lifting them up slowly he placed a kiss on her palms 'these hands will adorn the most beautiful colour in my name' 'yes they will...how can they not, it will be in my Asad's name' Asad placed his hand on the side of her face and leant in to kiss her softly 'I love you so much' 'ditto'.

Nobody got much sleep that night apart from Zayn and Kaki. Zoya, Huma, Annie, Priya and a few other friends had a mini hen party in her suite and the boys went out to enjoy themselves.

'Ya Allah, what are you girls doing?' Maheen said as she walked in on them dancing around in whatever form of dancing it was supposed to be 'Ammi, come na...you dance with us' Zoya said grabbing hold of her hand 'Zoya, its nearly two in the morning...do you really want dark circles around your eyes...Asad isn't even back...beta it is your Mehndi today' Zoya started giggling 'I know Ammi...promise to go to sleep and rest...just one dance' Maheen started laughing as she tried to keep up with her moves.

Leaving Zayn with Maheen, Nasima, Shazia and Kaki came in to see if the girls were up 'Ya Allah...look at the state of them' Shazia said covering her open mouth 'they are worse than the boys' Nasima said. The girls were still asleep none of them managed to make it back to the bed apart from Annie, they were all lying over the floor and the sofa as if they had knocked out in a drunken state.

Kaki caused absolute havoc as she started to wake them up and started shouting at them. Nasima and Shazia couldn't stop laughing.

The only person that managed to escape any telling off was Annie as she sneaked out to go and see Zayn.

After everyone ahd showered and changed they managed to eat some breakfast before they all started getting ready for the big event later that evening. Rahul and Dev went to check over security, whilst Arif and Sohail went over the menu and made sure the tables for the buffet were set as Zoya and Asad had specified.

Asad wanted to see Zoya but was pushed out of the room by her guards 'Bhaijaan, you can see her at the function...and make the most of it when you do as you won't be able to talk to her or see her until the Nikah' 'I don't remember you and Zack following those rules' Asad said, Annie started to go red 'Bhaijaan...shush...well I had no one to keep me on the straight and narrow...Zoya does so scoot now...and before you go...can you take your little man and give him to his Dadi' Asad took Zayn and kissed him 'come on buddy...let's leave the girls to it'

Zoya wore a beautiful multi coloured lehnga, she had her hair plaited and set to the side making her look all the more ethnic.

Huma and Annie looked at her and simultaneously said one word 'Ma'Sha'Allah'

Asad was wearing a cream traditional outf with a multi coloured scarf that matched the coulous in Zoya's lehnga.

The guests all stood up as the dhols started to play to most foot tapping beats, Asad was first brought in by Sohail, Zack and all his friends. As he took his seat he waited for Zoya, and it didn't take long for the dhol's to start playing again.

Annie, Huma and Priya came in first. Maheen and Nasima stood on either side of Zoya as they walked in behind them. As they stepped foot into the hall the three girls broke out into a dance they had choreographed for her entry.

As the guest clapped and whistled at them Asad and Zoya looked up to meet each other's gaze. Zoya couldn't come to define what she felt, there was only one thing she could say and that was that she felt blessed, Allah had blessed her beyond anything she could have ever asked for or expected.

Taking her seat next to him the mehndi ceremony started. There was lots of dancing, a lot of food and a lot of henna.

Zoya sat patiently as she had her mehndi applied. Huma came and sat next to her with a plate of food 'yum that looks so good' Zoya said 'trust me it is...you need to taste it' Zoya looked up at Huma 'you meanie...you come and sit with me with a plate full of food and you are not going to feed me' Huma started laughing out loud 'I would but someone else has already offered...so this plate is all mine' Zoya looked behind Huma to see Asad with a plate of food, instantly Zoya started to blush.

Making Huma move to the side Asad sat down next to her, he put some rice on to the fork and lifted it to her mouth. Zoya slowly opened her mouth and took in the rice 'thank you' she whispered. Asad never said anything, with everyone around he let his eyes do the talking, which said a lot more than anyone could ever imagine.

Zoya showed off her beautifully decorated hands and arms to Maheen 'may the colour of this brighten your life with every happiness Zoya...beta, tomorrow I want you to do something' 'anything Ammi' 'before you step into your bridal lehnga I want you to read Nafl, pray to Allah, make Dua for you're the new life you are going to begin together 'I will Ammi, I was going to pray anyway...but will definitely read extra Nafl' 'Zoya, no late night tonight, the beautician will be here by one in the afternoon, I want you to get as much rest as you can...you fly out straight after the rukhsati' 'I know...Ammi...has Asad told you where we are going for the second part of the holiday?' Maheen started smiling 'Yes he had and no I am not telling you...all I can say is that it is a place that will take your breath away...you have two beautiful weeks in Thailand and then you will have the most amazing two weeks in...well you will know when you get there'.

Annie held Zayn up as Zoya kissed him again and again 'I will see my beautiful boy in the morning...you be good for mummy at night' 'I don't have him...Kaki won't let him anywhere near me...I swear you would think he is her boy' 'well he is...in a way, she was there for Zack...and now she is there for his son'

'Asad...you want to meet Zoya I suggest you do it now' Maheen said as she got ready to go back up to her suite.

Asad walked up to her and took in a deep breath 'tomorrow...it's finally going to happen' 'yes it is...I will see you back here tomorrow Mr Khan' 'and I you Miss Farooqui...although this is the last time I will be able to refer to you as 'that is very true' Asad stepped closer to her, placing his hand on the top of her arm he placed a soft kiss on her forehead 'good night Zoya' 'good night Asad'

Huma and Maheen helped Zoya go over her suitcase 'ok, I think I have got everything I need...although I don't know what kind of clothes I need for the second part' Maheen rolled her eyes 'Zoya stop trying to find out...me and Asad have already packed your bag for the second part...now if you have checked everything go to sleep' giving Maheen a big hug Zoya lay on her oversized bed and let sleep consume her.
