Part 16 A:
Later that evening, Zoya left with Fahad as he wanted to spend some time with her while the other family members returned farmhouse... Asad was feeling suffocated, he just wanted to leave everything and go back but he had already made a promise to Nuzhat... Asim and Nuzhat were supposed to fly to Delhi along with Saira Bi right after the reception party, so Asad booked tickets of the very same day...
Asad was sitting on the stairs as his siblings were having a wonderful time by remembering old day, Meher and Zoya had collected all the photographs to surprise Nuzhat and now all were enjoying except Zoya who was out with Fahad...
Ahad spotted Asad sitting alone, he came to him and sat beside him...
Ahad: aap kya soch rahy ho???
Asad: umm nothing...
Ahad: its means there is something going on... he said touching his head with his little finger...
Asad just smile at his cuteness but didn't say anything...
Ahad: apko akele bethna acha lagta hai...
Asad: yeah... this time he replied...
Ahad: mujhe bhi Meher ke sath akele bethna tha but she is busy... she said eyeing Meher...
Asad: Meher ke sath rehte huway aap akele kese???
Ahad: uff ho apko kuch nahi pata, mai abhi chota hoon na apki tarha akela nahi beth sakta so jab bhi mai udaas hota hoon Meher ke sath baatain karta hoon...
Asad: or aap udaas kyun ho... he asked...
Ahad: Fahad uncle wapis aa gaye hain na...
Asad: don't you like him???
Ahad: no... I don't like him...
Asad: aise nahi kehte...
Ahad: aise hi kehte hain, aap ne dekha nahi jab se woh aaye hain Zee ghar pe nahi hain, hamesha yehi hota hai... he said looking down...
Asad: Zee??? You mean Zoya right...
Ahad: hmm...
Asad: so you don't like Fahad uncle because of Zee???
Ahad: pehle ache lagte the par jab se Meher ne bataya ke Zee and Fahad uncle ki shadi hai I don't like him...
Asad: but you should be happy for Zee...
Ahad: aap meri jagah hote toh kya apko yeh sab acha lagta...
Asad was at loss of words, wasn't he was trying to accept that truth only... Meher who had come call Ahad heard it, she noticed how Asad didn't answer him and if she wasn't wrong she unshed tears in his eyes...
Meher: Ahad aap yahan ho... Rashid uncle apko bula rahy hain, he has something special for you...
Ahad: kya... he stood up and asked in excitement...
Meher: your photographs when you were a few days old...
Ahad: really GF...
Meher: yeah go...
Ahad left from there while Asad was still lost in his own thoughts when Meher sat beside him...
Meher: so...
Asad didn't hear her, he was looking somewhere else... Meher followed his gaze and found Zoya there, she was back... Zoya was aware of his gaze but didn't dare to look at him as she knew she will melt while Meher noticed how Asad was looking towards Zoya with so much mixed emotions...
Meher: go and talk to her...
Asad: huh...
This time Asad heard her and looked at her...
Meher: I know you want to be with her only, can't you just go and talk...
Asad: you still think I have a chance... referring to Zoya's engagement...
Meher: that wasn't easy for her, yeh sab us ne tumhari family ke liye hi kiya hai...
Asad: you know Meher I spent last 5 years thinking Zoya moved on with Ayan, I didn't want to do that but for her happiness I did... yesterday when I came to know that she is my wife, it was like a relief washed over me... I was so happy and wanted her back but I forgot the reason was still there... how I can forget that thing... woh kehte hain na jo hota hai ache ke liye hi hota hai, aaj hi mujhe Zoya or Fahad ki engagement ka pata chal gaya... Allah hamesha apne bandon ke liye raaste bana deta hai, us din bhi Allah ne hi mujhe raasta dikhaya tha or aaj bhi Allah ne hi madad ki...
Meher: what do you mean???
Asad: I had left her for her happiness only... now see she is happy, isn't it what I wanted...
Meher: woh khush nahi hai Asad, can't you get that...
Asad: yeh baat tum se zaida mai janta hoon, I know her smile isn't reaching to her eyes but trust me one day she would be happy in true words...
Meher: maybe you are right, by the time she will move on but what about now??? Don't you think last 5 years were enough for her and now she truly deserves happiness??? Zoya ki khushi tumhare sath hai Asad...
Asad: agar mai usse khush rakh paata toh aaj hum ek saath hote...
Meher: you can Asad, just give your love a chance, us se baat karo and sort out everything...
Asad: it's not that easy, I would have tried but now someone is here... he eyed Fahad... and I think he knows everything about me, if so then I should be happy for her because he is there knowing her past... but don't know why I'm not happy Meher... he told her...
Meher: because she is your wife Asad...
Asad: but she is engaged now...
Meher: jaante ho Asad, Nikah ke baad Allah shohar or biwi ke dill mai ek dosrey ke liye mohabbat paida kar deta hai, tum toh pehle hi Zoya se pyaar karty the... phir itni mohabbat ke baad tum usse kisi or ke saath kese dekh sakty ho???
Asad didn't reply, he closed his eyes and a lone tear rolled down on his cheek as it actually hurt him seeing her with another guy...
Meher: According to Shariyat, when husband went missing for the whole 4 years and wife doesn't even know either he is dead or alive, if she wants then she can move on and marry another guy...
Asad didn't ask anything regarding Zoya being his wife and her engagement to Fahad, he was still going through a mental war either he should be happy or not... but Meher told him the fact as it may help him taking a decision...
Meher: from last 4 years she is trying to be happy, she drowned herself in the oceans of work and spent much needed time with the family... she may appear happy but she is not... Fahad se shadi bhi woh issi liye kar rahi hain kyun ke hum sab usse khush dekhna chahty hain... par uski khushi tumhare saath hain, woh chah kar bhi kisi or ke sath khush nahi reh sakti... she may have the permission to marry Fahad but now you are back and you can stop her... she said taking his hands his hers...
Asad: I... I don't know what to do... he replied honestly...
Meher: apne dill pe haath rakh kar socho, kya Zoya yeh sab deserve karti hai??? She placed his one hand on his heart...
Asad immediately pulled back his hands and stood up, before Meher could have stopped him, he left from there... Zoya knew that Asad and Meher were talking about her only but when Asad left abruptly she felt hurt as it looked like he didn't even want to talk after all she was engaged now, why would he talk, he left her because she was his enemy's daughter, he wanted her back as he came to know that she was his wife but as soon he saw her with someone else he again took a step backward... Zoya already knew it was coming but somewhere deep down she wanted him to take a stand for their love but unfortunately she was expecting from a wrong person who simply regret loving her...
When Asad and Zoya were busy with their own thoughts, there was another person who wanted to figure out something... it was Dilshad who strongly felt Ahad was Asad and Zoya's child, she just needed a single clue and maybe luck was at her side only as Ahad came running to her with a photo album and showed her a photo in which he was a few days old... Dilshad shed a few tears, happy tears as she spotted those bangles in Zoya's wrist in that photo too and her physical appearance gave her much needed proof that Zoya was Ahad's mother instead of Humaira... she immediately looked towards Zoya who was sitting next to Fahad but her eyes was searching only one person and Dilshad knew that person was her son, Asad...
Later that night, Zoya woke up coughing badly, the water jug was empty so she came downstairs and when she entered in the kitchen, she found Dilshad there...
Zoya: aap yahan woh bhi is waqt???
Dilshad: I wasn't feeling sleepy so came here to have a cup of coffee...
Zoya: aap bethiye mai banati hoon...
Dilshad: nahi tum jao, I'll manage on my own...
Zoya: I insist phupi...
Dilshad smiled hearing phupi' after so many years, she cupped the side of her face and nodded smilingly as allowing her... Zoya made coffee for them, both sat there with their coffee mugs in complete silent...
Dilshad: I really missed your coffee Zoya... she said initiating a conversation...
Zoya: sometimes I too miss our old days... apko yaad hai phupi... she stopped in midway... mene apko phupi kaha, apko bura toh nahi laga...
Dilshad: tumhari kahi hui koi bhi baat mujhe buri nahi lagti...
Zoya didn't know what to say, she smiled at her and sipped her coffee...
Dilshad: Zoya...
Zoya: jee...
Dilshad: I don't know tum yaqeen karogi ya nahi par mere liye tum or Asad dono barabar ho...
Zoya: that's why you sided him... she said sarcastically...
Dilshad: woh yeh sab tumhare liye hi toh kar raha hai Zoya... Asad is at your side only that's why I supported him... tumhari khushi se badh kar hamary liye kuch nahi hai...
Zoya: konsi khushi phupi, do you really think I'm happy???
Dilshad: no but...
Zoya: leave it phupi, mujhe is baare mai baat nahi karni...
Dilshad: acha phir Ahad ke baare mai toh baat kar sakty hain...
Zoya: Ahad ke baare mai??? What do you want to talk about him???
Dilshad: mene kaha na mere liye tum or Asad ek jese ho, agar mai Asad ki un-kahi baatain samajh sakti hoon toh tum ne kese soch liya mai tumhare or Ahad ke rishte ko nahi samjhongi... she said holding her hand and caressed those bangles...
Zoya immediately pulled her hand back, her eyes widened in fear and got moistened...
Zoya: aa... aapko ki... kis ne bataya???
Dilshad: agar tum mujhe khud batati toh zaida acha lagta... she replied wiping her tears...
Zoya closed her eyes and looked down, she didn't know what took over her, more tears brimmed in her eyes and in a flip of moment she throw her arms around Dilshad and cried...
Dilshad hugged her and ran a hand on her back to calm her down, Zoya composed herself and wiped her tears while Dilshad took her both hands in hers...
Dilshad: is se pehle tum kuch bhi socho ya samjho... I won't tell Asad without your permission and it's a promise...
Zoya: thank you phupi... thank you so much...
Dilshad: I should be thankful to you, you don't have any idea how much I'm happy... mere Asad ka beta, it feels like a lifelong dream came true... you know when I saw Ahad for the first time it felt like I'm seeing my little Asad, I felt a connection with him jese koi apna ho...
Zoya: abbu bhi bilkul yehi kehte hain, Ahad is just like him...
Dilshad: yeh sab choro, first go and make another coffee for us and after that I want to know each and everything about Ahad... she said excitingly...
Zoya: abhi???
Dilshad: haan abhi...
Seeing Dilshad's excitement Zoya left and within 15 minutes she came back with steaming cups of coffee... Zoya told her how she found about her pregnancy, how Ahad born, how was named by Meher, how he became her life, in short she shared everything while Dilshad felt proud of her, what if she supported Asad, Zoya was always like a daughter to her, in fact she supported her son just because he too wanted Zoya's happiness only...
