CHAPTER FOUR (A)
It happens in life many times, we are determined to do something or we are determined about the things that we want to achieve...we know the path we have to walk...which lead us to our goal...But the thing we don't know or we may forgot sometimes that life is the road where we could meet some unexpected turns...and when this road of life takes that unexpected turn, we remain with no choice but to follow it...
The sun rose on the horizon spreading its colors... Asad woke up with the new determination, he was sure about his goal and he won't let anyone or anything ruin it...and Nikkah...the last thing he wished to do... He knew it was not easy to convince his Ammi and he may end up hurting her in the process that he never ever wished... But he also knew the need of the hour, he couldn't agree with her...it would create a big mess in his already messed up life...
"Yes Mr. Singhania 15 days is enough time to wind up the things here, and mostly I will be there in next 10 days as I need to settle some things before we start the work" "Oh yes...I will try to be there for the party, thank you" Disconnecting the call Asad leaned in his chair, something was troubling him, the feeling of uneasiness he couldn't ignore. May be it because of the way I behaved with Ammi' he thought...
Asad was trying his best to make Dilshad understand but she was adamant on her decision, "Ammi please I am not ready for the new responsibility and you know I am going to get busy coz of the new project, now is not the time for me to think about it"
Dilshad didn't respond to his pleas, pushing the plate of food aside she got up from her bed, "Meri fikar mat karo Asad, aur waise bhi you will not be here to take care of these things hereafter, so its better you don't waste your time now, you must have much important things to do"
"Ammi yeh kya bat hui, aapne kal rat bhi kuch nahi khaya, aap pehle kha lijiye hum bad me bat karenge" He insisted forwarding a plate towards her
"Kya bat Asad, tumne apna decision to le liya hai, ab bacha hi kya hai bat karne ke liye"
Asad sighed deeply rubbing his palm over his face, his Ammi was not ready to understand and whatever may happen he couldn't say yes for Nikaah, "I don't know Ammi why you are forcing me but let me clear, about this Nikaah issue I am not going to change my decision and that's final..." he said in a bit high tone but looking at Dilshad's face he closed his eyes regretting his outburst
"Rashid main Dargah ja rahi hu aur waha se Zeenat se milne jaungi" Dilshad said to Rashid who was standing at room door witnessing the Mother-son conversation
"Ammi aapne kuch khaya nahi hai, pehle kuch kha to lijiye" Asad requested again walking behind her and looking at his Abbu pleaded him with eyes to make her understand
"You know her Asad, nahi manegi wo" Rashid said squeezing his shoulder and walked out of the room
Asad startled with the ringing sound of his phone, Abbu calling he read scrunching his brows, he must have been in the meeting now' he thought before receiving the call. His face drained off all the colors as he listen what Rashid said from the other side. Disconnecting the call he searched for his car keys, pushing away the things on the desk in process...getting the keys he rushed out of his cabin...
*********
Humeira's face beamed as she rushed down the stairs watching Zoya entered from the door. "Isn't it a bit late than your usual time" She asked as Zoya slumped on the sofa looking quizzically towards Humeira
"Waise to tum jaldi aa jati ho jogging se, aaj kya hua?" Humeira asked raising her brows, "waiting for someone to meet"
"Humi...you and your assumptions" Zoya shook her head getting up
"Ohh ho...my assumptions, I am damn sure the first thing you must be wished today is at least get a glimpse of him...am I right?" crossing her arms Humeira stood in front of Zoya and a smile lifted on Zoya's face thinking how her eyes searched for him in the park
"Aahhh...I knew it...so dikha ya nahi?" Humeira asked excitedly noticing the smile on Zoya's face
"Don't you think you are behaving over excited Humie" not replying to her question Zoya walked past her shaking her head
"That is not..." Humiera turn to follow Zoya but noticing Zeenat and Anwar coming out of the room she ran towards them
"Good news, good news, good news Ammi Abbu..." She sang excitedly twirling around Zeenat and Anwar
"Humi..." Anwar hold her steady and Zeenat shook her head at her daughter's antics who most of the times behave like a five year old kid
"You know Abbu Zoya is ready" Both just looked at her as she revealed her good news and not getting any response from them Humeira shook them holding their arms, "Arey...no reaction...Zoya is ready for Nikaah..." she again repeated and finally both reacted with their eyes wide open, "WHAT...Zoya is ready...but..."
"Humie..." Zoya called from behind and three of them looked towards her
"Zoya...are you..." Zeenat asked walking towards Zoya
"Aapi...I am ready to meet him, and then I will decide, Yeh Humie na...she is so much excited for Nikaah...I think we should think about her Nikaah first...kyun?" Zoya asked as Humeira make faces looking towards her
"Zoya..." Anwar called coming towards Zoya, "I am happy that you decided to meet Asad, he is such a nice guy, I really appreciate him and I guess you'll like him too..." Zoya just nodded with a smile
"Yeh formality kyun... yeh toh love at first sight ka case hai... you like him and I know your answer..." Humeira mumbled as Anwar and Zeenat were out of sight
"Humie...you are too much you know..." Zoya smacked on her arm while Humeira giggled as both of them walked towards the dining table when Zeenat's phone rang
"Dilshad Aapa...I was going to call you only...haan Zoya is ready to meet Asad, ohh aap ghar aa rahi hai...okay aa jao aap phir bat...hello..." Zeenat stopped abruptly and three pair of eyes looked towards her as she panicked, "Hello...hello, kya hua..." she looked at the screen as call disconnected, "Anwar... something is wrong, I heard her scream and then phone get disconnect" Zeenat informed raising up from her chair, "She was near the Dargah...chalo dekhate hai"
Anwar nodded getting up and Zeenat followed him as he fetched the car keys and walked out...
*********
Asad rushed inside the hospital, he only knew how he kept driving while the knot of fear gripped his stomach so tight, and even though Rashid had said that it was just a little cut on Dilshad's forehead as she fainted near Dargah his anxiety grew in each passing second being held up by annoying slow traffic. He remembered the day when he being informed that Rashid was in hospital...his Abbu, his all the time hero laying lifeless on the hospital bed was the sight he never wished to see again...and today it was his Ammi, his strength...no...it definitely he couldn't witness..., again it's because of him... today his Ammi is here... how could he did this to her...he was so occupied in his own issues and forgot to think about his own family, their expectations, their happiness...how could he hurt them...when he became so selfish..., he thought entering inside the hospital...He cursed himself for hurting his Ammi first because of his decision of shifting to Mumbai and now this new Nikaah issue...in both the situations he was helpless but he don't want to cause any trouble for his family because of his own issues...but then what he could do? How he is going to solve this mess? Fulfilling his Ammi's wish will create new troubles in his life... Raking fingers in his hairs he walked through the corridor scatterbrained...when his phone vibrated and startled he looked at the screen showing Shaad calling...it gave him a little sort of relief thinking about Shaad...only person who was aware of all the happenings and definitely could help him to solve this all mess he was in...he swiped the screen to receive the call when suddenly the phone slipped out from his hand and he felt getting pushed back as someone bumped into him... placing his right hand on the wall beside he tried to steady himself while his other hand wrapped around the person...a moment passed as he tried to understand what had happened...
Zoya came to meet Dilshad when Zeenat informed her that they admitted Dilshad in hospital. Zeenat & Anwar returned back to home as doctor confirmed that everything is fine but Zoya decided to stay back little more time...Spending some time chatting with Dilshad & Rashid she said them goodbye and came out... She was thinking about Asad as she had heard Rashid calling him...when she told Dilshad about her decision of meeting Asad, the sadness in Dilshad's smile confused her...didn't know why but the thought pricked her heart 'did he refuse to meet her...' Her thoughts came to a halt as she bumped into someone...and cursed herself realizing the person...her heart thudded inside feeling his hand around her...
"I am sorry...wo main..." she whispered against his chest trying to move back
He loosened his hold moving back a step and his eyes widened, "AAP..."
"Haan...wo...I am sorry..." Zoya stammered getting nervous suddenly...she averted her gaze from him and moved to collect his broken phone. "Umm...wo main..." she started trying to fix his phone
"Don't..." He yelled interrupting her, "Don't you dare to say anything...I am not in a state to argue with you" he stated not wanting any stupid argument with her, "Stupid girl always cause the trouble..." He mumbled noticing her trying to fix the phone
"Here...it's done" she forwarded the phone, "It's working and sorry for the trouble" she added and snatching the phone from her hand he walked past her
"Asa...Mr. Khan" she called from behind and watched him halt in his track. She noticed the confusion on his face as he turned, she gave him a small smile when he looked at her narrowing his eyes, "Your Ammi is fine...no need to worry Mr. Khan" She didn't understand why she said it but she could sense his distressed state...and before she realize her actions the urge of consoling him over powered... "She fainted because of weakness ...but now she is fine don't worry" She added and before he could say anything turned on her heel and walked out...leaving a confused Asad behind...how she knew about Ammi he shook his head and looked once at her retreating back before turning...
He felt a sting in his heart as he pushed the door open...the sight of his Ammi on the hospital bed, a bandage on her forehead and an IV drip attached to her arm...his heart twisted painfully, he squeezed his eyes for a moment before entering inside. Rashid walked towards him, "She is fine Asad" he reassured knowing well the state of his son. Moving he sat beside Dilshad and took her hand in his, "I am sorry Ammi" he whispered but she didn't reply, she just kept looking at him as if trying to gauge his turmoil...she could sense her son's dilemma...she don't want to force her decision on him and she wasn't actually against of his shifting to Mumbai, as every mother she wanted to see her son's success but somewhere looking at his state, the way he distanced himself from everything...the pain she could sense in his eyes...she thought it will help to bring him back to his old self...and when she heard about Zoya she couldn't help but wished for her and Zainab's dream to come true... After meeting Zoya once she thought her decision was right...she felt a bubbly girl like Zoya is perfect for Asad...she could bring the happiness back in Asad's life... Even though she doesn't want to force them for it...she prayed for this to happen...it doesn't felt wrong to emotionally blackmail him to make him agree for his betterment...
She remembered the day when Rashid was admitted in hospital... A major loss for Dilshad Construction, the fraud case and then Rashid's accident... everything shattered for them over night...She remembered how broken Asad was then, he blamed himself for whatever happened and from that day he changed into different Asad...but still deep down in her heart she sensed it wasn't the only reason...there was much more to the story than meets the eye... She stared as he kept apologizing for his behavior...he looked so tired and she felt guilty...was it right to force him? Squeezing his hand she closed her eyes...she just wants his happiness...her old Asad back...she prayed Allah for the happiness of her son...
*********
The same day evening Dilshad had discharged from the hospital and as Rashid was at home Asad decided to go back to the office. He thought a lot about every possibility but couldn't come with the solution of his problems. Staying back in Bhopal was not the option now as he had signed the deal with singhania's... now he couldn't back out from it and about Ammi's other wish, getting married to her friend's daughter...he couldn't just agree for it... Absent mindedly he pushed his cabin door open and walked inside...
"Why you are here?" he heard as he slumped on his chair tiredly
"Ammi is fine now and Abbu is there with her so I thought to..."
"Did you ever think anything other than work...looks at you Asad...you seriously need some rest" Shaad interrupted as he sat on the chair opposite to Asad.
Asad rubbed his palms over his face and looked back at Shaad, "I am not thinking about the work Shaad...I just come to talk to you..." he leaned back in his chair, his eyes had a distant faraway look
Shaad stared at his friend for a moment, "Did Aunty ask about it again"
"Nahi Shaad...she didn't ask anything but I can see she is upset..."
"Hmm...to man ja...if you don't want to see her upset" Shaad said and Asad looked at him shocked with his suggestion
"Shaad...you know I can't..."
"Yes I know...but you have to think about it one day...kab tak bhagte rahoge...Aunty aaj man bhi jaye but she is a mother and it's obvious she want to see you settle in your life...how far you kept denying her...and why? Because of someone who didn't even think once before hurting you...leaving you heartbroken...I am sorry Asad but she didn't deserve your love...uske liye tumne jina chod diya jisne..." he stopped as Asad rose from his chair. Shaad knew he was harsh but it was needed...Asad need to understand that he has to move on in his life, he can't just live like this holding onto the past...
"Shaad please...I don't want to talk about the past..."
Shaad stared at him as he stood by the window, may be now is not the time...but one day you have to think about it and I will make sure of it...tumhe aage badna hi hoga... Shaad thought... "Okay to ab kya karna hai?"
"Agar mujhe pata hota to main tumhare sath aise mera time waste nahi karta" Asad said turning back
"Okay okay...I know how precious your time is" Shaad said dialing a number from landline and ordered two coffees, "Waise, ek solution hai" he said placing the receiver back.
Walking back from the window Asad sat on his chair and waited for Shaad to continue
"Look...first you assure Aunty that you are ready for the Nikaah..."
"WHAT?" Asad looked at Shaad in disbelief
"Don't react like this...first listen the whole plan..." Shaad said leaning forward, "Then you meet the girl and tell her that you are doing this for your Ammi's wish and you are not ready for the Nikaah, it's not possible for you to deny because of Ammi's health" he stopped hearing a knock on the door
Asad took a cup of coffee and waited as the office boy walked out of the cabin, "Then what?" he asked taking a sip
"Hmm..." Shaad sipped his coffee and placed the cup on the table, "Then you ask her to back out...I am sure wo man jayegi...koi bhi ladki uske sath Nikaah nahi karna chahegi jo ladka majboori me ha keh raha ho..."
"Are you sure...what if she reveals it that I asked her to back out" Asad put forward his query
"Arey yar...use request karega...calmly sab samjhayega to wo jarur help karegi...aur wo Aunty ke close hai to I guess wo man jayegi...while talking with her keep in mind that you need her help ..." He added taking his cup and sipped his coffee, "warna apni employee samjhke chillayega to ho gaya phir..." he mumbled shaking his head while Asad sat silently thinking over Shaad's plan.
"Okay...I guess it can be work..."
*********
CHAPTER FOUR (B)
"It's all because of your stupid plan Shaad...NOW WHAT??... Asad demanded from the other side of the phone while Shaad twisted his face hearing his outburst "Ab engagement hone ke bad batau that I am not ready..." Asad continued and Shaad scratched his head not knowing what to do.
As per Shaad's plan he told Dilshad that he was ready for the Nikaah & hearing the news Dilshad's excitement knew no bounds...happy tears brimmed in her eyes and she hugged him... "Sach Asad...tum...tum sach me...kahi mere liye to nahi haa keh rahe ho beta..." He just nodded looking at her reaction and felt guilty that he was actually lying to his Ammi... "Main bohat khush hu Asad..."
he couldn't say a word...whole night he thought about it and decided to talk with Dilshad the next morning...he couldn't hurt her and if she comes to know about his plan, then it would hurt her more that he never wished... He would rather try to make her understand and promise her to come back after finishing the project with Singhania's Yes it would be the better option' he thought with a satisfied smile before closing his eyes...oblivious about the unexpected turn ahead...
Next day came with the new headache for Asad... Nothing is going as per my plans' He growled as he got the call regarding some problems about the possession of his new house in Mumbai. Earlier he had decided to wind up everything in Bhopal within ten days that will give him enough five days time to sort out the pending issues in Mumbai but now because of this new issue he had to be in Mumbai and the very same day he left for Mumbai deciding to talk with Ammi after returning back. But there he again extended his stay for two days as Mr. Singhania insisted him to attend one of the seminars on Innovation & Technology in construction industry that he didn't actually mind. But when he got to know the happenings back in Bhopal he was shocked, his Ammi has planned the Nikaah in ten days and the engagement on the day of his return from Mumbai.
"I will kill you Shaad" he growled as Shaad didn't reply and threw the phone on the sofa and slumped down himself, clutching his head in his hands. He was frustrated beyond limits; it was like his brain would burst at any moment... I need to meet her before the engagement' He thought getting up when his phone beeped, he narrowed his eyes looking at the unknown number, "Hello..." he waited for a moment but didn't get any reply from the other side, "Hello...I can't hear you" he said, frustration was clear in his voice and not getting any reply he disconnect the call...
*********
"Humie stop this okay?" Zoya warned as Humeira start her teasing session. Both decided to go Khan Villa to meet Dilshad. "It's you who is more excited...I know Ayaan is waiting...kyun?" Zoya asked mischievously and descended the steps when suddenly she stopped, halting in her tracks, her eyes wide, mouth agape as she stood frozen...suddenly she felt woozy as Zeenat's words again reached her ears... "Anwar I am so happy...Asad is ready for Nikaah" She gulped squeezing her eyes...not believing what she heard... Turning back she looked at Humeira whose face was beaming, she felt her frozen heart suddenly started pounding and she ran to her room. Slouching on her bed she grabbed her pillow and breathed closing her eyes. She couldn't comprehend what she was feeling in that moment; so many emotions surged throw her...shock, panic, excitement but all ended at confusion... He didn't even meet her once before giving consent for a lifelong commitment...isn't it necessary for him to know , had he seen her photo...but still how could he just say yes...and thinking about their encounters it was impossible for her to believe that he agreed just like that... "Zoya" Humeira's voice brought her back and she looked at her over excited sister
"What?" Humeira asked noticing Zoya's confused look
Zoya shook her head not knowing how to verbalize her confusion. Humeira sat beside her when Anwar and Zeenat entered. Sitting beside Zoya, Zeenat hugged her understanding her dilemma, "I know Zoya what you are thinking...sab kuch itni jaldi me ho raha hai...maybe you are not ready...but trust us Zoya Asad is really a nice guy..."
"But Aapi it's too soon...I mean we didn't even meet and talk once about this" moving back Zoya tried to explain her thoughts, which were scattered at the moment
"I know Zoya you want to meet him once before deciding anything but he is in Mumbai for some emergency and Dilshad Aapa wants the Nikaah to happen before he shifted to Mumbai... you may feel we are forcing you into this...but..."
"Nahi Aapi...it's not like that...I just don't know...I am confused"
"Zoya..." Zeenat moved aside making place for Anwar, he sat beside zoya taking her hand in his, "We wants your happiness Zoya and if you are not ready then we won't force you for anything, we understand it's a big decision and you want to be sure...but trust me when I said Asad is a perfect guy we could find for you as a life partner...just think before taking any decision...okay?" He kissed her forehead before getting up and she smiled. "Ohh..." he turned back remembering something, "Asad's number, you can talk to him if you want"
"Zoya...you like him right?" Humeira asked when Anwar & Zeenat walked out of the room
"Hmm..." Zoya leaned back giving a small smile to Humie, "You know Humie it's the first time I am feeling this strange pull towards someone, I don't know why but there is something about him that made me feel connected to him ...His mere presence around and I feel flip flop inside ...it strange mixture of excitement, happiness and nervousness I feel just thinking about him...don't know why but I couldn't see him stressed..." She turned to look at Humie who was listening intently, "you know last time at party and yesterday at hospital when I saw that pain in his eyes, it sadden me more than anything..." She sighed and moved her gaze ahead, "Main kho jati hu Humie, whenever I thought about him...sab kuch naya sa alag sa lagne lagta hai...& I like it..." she said dreamily and again looked towards Humeira "Wo abhi bhi ek ajnabee hai...but phir bhi jana pehchana sa lagta hai...apna sa lagta hai...If this all means love at first sight then yes...it is...and I would be lying if I said I wasn't feel happy about the news...but still Humie...strangely I feel that something is not right..."
"I can understand Zoya..." Humeira moved close to her and grabbing her both hands she said "Don't stressed yourself okay...be relax for a moment and try to understand your heart's wish..."
"You know, you sounds like me"
"I know coz for a change you are behaving like me, doubting your heart...now close your eyes" Humeira said placing her hand on Zoya's eyes, "You always dreamed about someone special...jo tumhare liye bana hai...does your heart accept him as one..."
Slowly a smile appeared on Zoya's face and Humeira jumped with excitement, "I knew it...don't think much Zoya...go with what your heart say..."
"But Humie..." Zoya sounded worried but Humeira interrupted
"Zoya it may be because sab bohat jaldi jaldi ho raha hai...and you didn't even get the chance to talk ... ek bar bat kar lena Asad bhaijaan se...it will definitely help you...okay" She tried to reassure her and getting out from the bed handed a phone to Zoya, "Call him...main abhi ati hu"
Zoya traced his name on the screen contemplating whether to call him or not, "Maybe Humie is right I should call him...but why didn't he find it important to talk before taking this big decision of life...uff...whatever...mujhe toh bat karni hai" she finally decided to call but as his voice came from the other side she felt nervous and couldn't utter a word, sensing frustration in his tone she quickly disconnect the call, "Bad idea Zoya..." She mumbled placing the phone aside...she was restless and only one place could give her peace at the moment... Allah Miya...help me please' she sighed and decided to visit Dargah...
*********
Asad was pacing in his room, nothing was right...
he reached Bhopal in morning & his first task was find a way to stop this engagement, but he didn't get the chance to utter a word as his whole family was busy in preparations and looking at everyone's excitement...his Ammi's happiness, he didn't feel it right to reveal her the truth and so only option remain for him was to meet the girl but time was slipping out from his hands making him restless...
His phone beeped displaying Shaad's name and he swore under his breath before receiving the call, "its better if you find a way to come out from this mess Shaad" he warned. The next ten minutes he listened to what Shaad was saying from the other end, he wasn't pleased with what Shaad had suggested but then at the moment that was the only option for him. He placed the phone aside and turned hearing the knock on the door, his Ammi entered with the suit in her hand. One look in her eyes and he could sense how happy she was...a guilt surged through him as he forced a smile when she hugged him,
"Asad, kya bat hai...tum khush to ho na" she asked moving back and worry lines appeared on her forehead as he didn't reply, "Asad...main tumhari khushi chahti hu beta...I know you may feel that all is happening so soon, you didn't even meet Zoya once, but trust me Asad she is really a nice girl" she said cupping his face and he just nodded, "tum ready ho jao, we have to leave in an hour" She said and moved back, Maybe I am forcing you for this Asad...but what can I do beta, Ammi hu tumhari aise tumhe sab se dur jate hue nahi dekh sakti...I can't lose you...' she thought wiping her tears and walked out...
*********
Zoya breathed holding her Red dupatta which was draped on her arm from behind, her side parted silky hair trailing down both her shoulders naturally...dangling earrings enhanced her stunning look... she looked up forcing a small smile as her Aapi Jeeju looked at her way, then her gaze fixed on her Phoopi who was looking at her admiringly...but the smile vanished from her face as her gaze moved behind Dilshad... There he stood looking handsome in his black suit with white shirt and a red pocket square which completed his look... how her heart would have skipped beating before racing wildly if...' she looked down causing her long bangs which neatly created on one side to fall making a veil on her eyes as she tried to keep herself composed... She had decided to follow her heart as it has already started falling for Asad...but was she right...she doubted recalling what he said to her when he came to meet her just half an hour before...
She paced the length of room feeling nervous as Humeira and Ayaan informed her that Asad wanted to meet her once before the engagement...she was dying in anxiety thinking about all the possible reasons for what he want to talk before the engagement...when the knock on the door startled her and she placed her palm over her racing heart breathing deeply before turning to face him...
She watched him as he adjusted the collar of his shirt before looking up and as his eyes met with hers she could see how his eyes widened in shock; "AAP..." word came out of his mouth clearing it for her that he didn't have any idea of with whom he is going to get engaged... "You are the girl...whom I am..." she watched his eyes squeezed as his hand reached his forehead and her heart twisted realizing he was not pleased at all...as he mumbled something under his breath before looking at her...
She could sense he was trying hard to put together what he wanted to say and felt her heart sinking expecting something unwilling to her way, gathering all the courage she open her mouth to ask what she wanted to know, "I can guess you are not aware of whom you are going to get engage Mr. Khan and umm...I know you are not pleased finding me here..." she said and watched him pinching the tip of his nose, "but then why you accepted the alliance before meeting the girl..."
He looked at her for a moment before averting his gaze, "Wo...actually...I wanted to meet you before & clear some things...but I didn't get the chance...I mean...it's all complicated, I can't explain everything now..." he paused before looking at her again, "I don't want to do this...I mean I don't want to get married...um...I am doing this just for Ammi's wish...and I can't deny her as she is not well..." he said and she felt her whole body numb...
She clutched her dupatta feeling the raw pain in her heart...It took her some moments as she tried to compose herself before she asked, "So what you expect from me now..."
"Umm...I know it sounded weird, but at this moment we couldn't back out from this..." he paused & massaged his forehead before continue, "so...we have to do this...I mean pretend it and then we shall think about...um...ending this fake Nikaah..."
"WHAT?" Zoya yelled in disbelief, "FAKE...What you think Mr. Khan...Do you think nikaah is any type of game that we could play for some time and then..." she stopped herself trying to calm down the sudden anger rose inside How could he think like this'
"It's not a GAME for me..." his tone raised a bit but he calm down himself somehow, "I know I should have talk to you before..." he sighed, "But now I don't see any other option and I don't want to cause any trouble for my family because of me" he looked in her eyes and she sense the pain that strangely made her uneasy despite the anger, "But if you are not ready to...um...help me in this...and want to back out then you could..."
"You are suggesting me to back out now...DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA MR. KHAN...HOW COULD YOU??"
"I guess we don't have any other option then..." he said and turned to go when Zoya's question stopped him
"WHY...can I know the reason...I mean after all wo wajah to main janna chahungi... if you want me to help you in this..." She asked hoping not the worst that her mind was wondering
He didn't turn, "I have set my goals and I don't want anything that could become a trouble for my plans...and marriage is a responsibility that definitely I couldn't manage with my already set life which I don't want to change for anyone..." saying he walked out not giving her a chance to ask anything else
Zoya slumped down on the chair, this was not she wished...'Nikaah' how could anyone make a sham of it...and why this was happening with her...what she is going to do now...she was happy, first time her heart fall for someone and she was going to get married to that same person...she decided to go with her heart, that was saying yes...he is the one she was waiting for ...but in one moment she realized that she was living in fantasy...and with a sudden blow her world collapsed throwing her into reality...but still why she was ready to continue this sham...NO, Nikaah held a lot significance for her...a lifelong commitment...she was not going to play this game...NO... "But then what she was going to do...back out at this moment..." her head started to spin thinking about all the scenarios... startled she looked up hearing a knock on the door
"Hi..." Shaad smiled from the door
Zoya had met him once, Ayaan had introduced her with him before as Shaad wanted to meet the girl his best friend was going to get married with. She looked at him quizzically, she was sure that Shaad had the idea of everything, she opened her mouth to question him but before she could say anything Shaad interrupted
"I am sorry...but please listen to me once" he said moving inside, "I know it was wrong, mujhe pehle hi tumhe batana chahiye tha but then I didn't find any other option to help my friend, I became selfish for my friend..."
Help...??" Zoya's brows scrunched not understanding what shaad was talking about
"Haan, help...you know Asad wasn't like this before, us ek incident ne use itna badal diya ki wo jeena hi bhul gaya...that one incident when his family had almost lost everything...first the loss in business then one of the business rival trapped Rashid uncle in some fraud and government officials sealed everything, business loss, humiliation and then his accident... That time Asad was not working with Rashid uncle, after completing his studies he didn't join uncle's business as he wanted to experience the world, he was out for some work when uncle met with accident...he couldn't receive the call when uncle needed him...he blamed himself for not being there with uncle...uncle survived by Allah's grace but Asad changed from that day and now the only thing matter for him is his work...success...and revenge from RS Group who trapped uncle in fraud case..."
Shaad sighed and turned to look at Zoya, "You love him right?" he asked and Zoya's eyes widened in shock, "I overheard it when Humeira was talking with Ayaan" he answered her unspoken question, "sorry for being selfish but I thought he need someone in his life, jo use phirse jeena sikha de...and I feel you may..."
Zoya sensed Shaad's concern for Asad, "But Shaad he didn't want...I mean he thought this nikaah is just an arrangement for some time"
"That was his thinking but I know you don't want arrangement..."
"Right, I can't do this...I am not going to continue this sham..."
"I know Zoya...koi bhi ladki ye nahi chahegi...but then he is your first love, right?...you want to let him go like this...won't you fight for it when you have a chance..." Shaad waited for Zoya to say something but she just stared at him and he sighed helplessly, "I am sorry for crossing my limits Zoya, I know I am worng in forcing you and I don't have any right to do so...maine shayad sirf mere dost ki khushi ke bare me socha...I am sorry..." saying he turned and walked out...
Pushing back all the doubts she moved as Humeira nudged her... she again decided to listen to her heart... Why? When once it mislead her... She didn't have the answer...she always followed her heart and today also she was going to do the same...

"Asad Bhaijaan"
Zoya looked towards Humeira who stood beside her while she was standing in front of Asad, he was standing with the ring in his hand when Humeira called him
"Ab ring pehna bhi dijiye..."
"kya bat hai...aapko bohat jaldi hai" Ayaan asked raising his brows, who was stood beside Asad
"Jee haan...aap ladko ka kya bharosa"
"Ohh...yahi to problem hai ladkiyo ki...girls never know to trust anyone..."
"Ohh hello..." humeira moved forward perching her hands on her hips, "hume aap ladko se ye sikhne ki koi jarurat nahi ke trust kya hota hai..."
Ayaan moved a bit, "Yes, you girls should learn, ek to aap kisi pe bharosa karti nahi aur kiya bhi to you never use your brain like boys...aankhe band kar ke bharosa kar leti hai..."
"You know what Mr. Leader of boys team...bharosa aankhe band karke hi kiya jata hai...taki todne wale ko yeh ehsaas rahe ki kisi ne aankhe band kar ke uspar bharosa kiya hai...kyun?" Humeira raised her brows while a smile formed on Zoya's face, this was her logic...and Humeira used to tease her, she always found this illogical... When she started to believe in my illogical thinking' Zoya looked at her amazed, Hmm...of course pyaar ke side effects ' Zoya shook her head, she was aware of Humeira's feelings for Ayaan and she was happy for Humeira as she knew Ayaan was feeling the same... she giggled as both Humeira & Ayaan continued their cute fighting...
"Ayaan miya ladkiyo se nahi jeet sakte aap" Shaad peeped in between
"Hmm...ladkiya wo paheli hai jo suljhana bohat mushkil hai" Ayaan said ruffling his hairs while smiling at Humeira
"Achha to aap uljhte hi kyu hai ladkiyo se" Humeira crossed her arms
"Arey pehle inki engagement ho jane do then we shall continue this discussion..." Shaad pulled Ayaan back
"Inka jhagda to kabhi khatam nahi hoga" Dilshad shook her head moving towards Asad and asked him to put on the ring on Zoya's finger while Zeenat asked Zoya to forward her hand
Zoya looked up but he didn't meet her gaze, forwarding her hand she waited for him and her eyes closed feeling his touch, It wasn't any game for her...not just pretence...it was all true... She inhaled before sliding the ring on his finger... It wasn't just a ring for her but a promise...that she will go to any length to make it work...it was not any arrangement but a commitment...a lifelong commitment...and whatever may happen she is going to fight for it...' Mr. Asad Ahmad Khan if you want to play then let's play...' she looked up and her eyes met with his for a moment, her lips lifted in a small smile...small but genuine one...
Shaad blinked his eyes looking at Zoya, he mouthed a silent Thank you'... But for a moment he felt guilty... whatever he told to Zoya was not a lie...but a partial truth...
*********
Kaisa ye Ishq hai...
Ajab sa Risk hai...
A diamond shined in the moon light... "Hmmm..." Zoya breathed looking at her ring, I never thought my life will take such a turn...I always dreamed of a fairytale...that one day I will meet my someone special...fall in love...that romantic proposal...hehh' she laughed at her thoughts...suddenly that all felt childish to her... Yes, she met her someone special, fall in love...but she was aware that it's not at all a fairytale... Hakikat khwabo se alag hi hai' she has taken a risk here...she didn't even know if it's going to work or not...but she don't want to think about it now...when she had decided to fight for it... "suna to tha pyaar me log kuch bhi kar jate hai...but today I experienced it...Allah Miya!!! Na jane aur kya kya karna padega..." She caressed her ring recalling the moment when he slipped it on her finger...the moment she felt her heart was right...the moment she realized she wanted to take a risk...the moment she realized she was ready to fight...

Kyun chod gaye wo Raaste...
Kabhi saath chale the jin pe...
Apni wafa pe hai toh yakeen...
Tum saath na do toh kya main karoon...
"Ridz...are you sure?"
"Yes...I am sure...I want to do this...tell me Asad you too want this..." holding his hands she asked, gazing in his eyes
"Of course Ridz...but like this...I mean tum next month wapas aaogi tab..."
"You promised me na...Pleaseee Asad..."
He smiled and circled his arms around her, "Hmm...okay, but why like this...we can..."
"Asad..." she interrupted sounding solemn suddenly... "You know, I came here as a daughter of influential Politician Gaffur Siddiqui...that was my world, my limits...I never stepped out of that world...I never wished anything...I was fine, Abbu gave me everything, every luxury in the world...there wasn't a need to ask for anything...but when I came here and met you, I realized what was missing in my life...I never thought that one day Love would change my life...beautifully... you introduced me to this new world Asad...you are my world now...I came here as Rida Siddiqui but now I want...
A knock on the door brought him back from the memory land and a photo crushed in his hand as his fingers curled tightly...his jaw clinched as he threw it away , "that was what you want after all...a luxurious life..."
"What is this Asad" Shaad asked picking up the photo, "Behave man...now past doesn't hold any place in your life..." Shaad said and Asad gave him a look of distaste
"You are engaged now Asad...think about..."
"Seriously Shaad...you know this is just an arrangement for sometime"
"Whatever it is for you, but I want you to be nice with Zoya...she at least deserve..."
"Stop this nonsense Shaad" Asad cut his words getting up from his chair, "I seriously don't understand why everything is going wrong in my life...now this Zoya...she is such a trouble from the beginning..."
"Asad...don't forget she is helping you, if there was any other girl in her place think about what drama would have been created yesterday..."
Feeling exhausted Asad sat back in his chair, "I am tired Shaad and I don't want any other drama in my life...I know it's wrong what I am asking for...but..." he trailed off
"Look Asad...I just want to say, jo bhi ho raha hai usme Zoya ki koi galati nahi hai...she is a nice girl Asad, just try to be nice with her..."
Asad didn't reply, he just stared into nothing, "Hehhh..." moments later he let out a sad laugh looking at the ring on his finger, "Jiske sath puri zindagi guzarane ka vaada kiya tha uske sath ek din bhi nasib nahi hua aur ab jhoota hi sahi par kaise kisi ajanbee se yeh vaada karu Shaad...Kaise...?? Why I am doing this...?? "I don't want to do this"
"Please Asad...think about Aunty...tum ab mana karoge to kitna hurt karoge unhe...and Zoya...engagement hui hai tumhari...if now you back out, it won't be fair for her..."
"She knew, it is just a pretend marriage...it's better for her too if I end this drama here only"
"Why don't you understand Asad...kitne problems create honge...aur phir why you are thinking it as a pretend marriage...try to give a chance to it Asad..."
Asad gave a look to Shaad and he sighed, knowing well that it's not going to help talking with Asad right now... Pretend marriage...let it be for now...' Getting up Asad walked towards the window and Shaad looked at him, silently praying for his friend and for Zoya too... Please Allah...let it work...if anything goes wrong, main khudko kabhi maf nahi kar paunga...'
