Chapter 9
Zoya silently followed Asad, Asad opened the passenger seat door for her to get in. Zoya was above to enter but then took a step back as unknown fear and anxiety got into her as she saw the empty car with all the windows shut since her phobia has recently hit her. She was not ready to face it again.
On the other hand, Asad was puzzled seeing her standing like a statue without getting in
Asad: miss Zoya...
Zoya was still lost, Asad hesitated a bit but then lightly tapped her shoulders. Zoya came out of her trance and looked at him
Asad: what's wrong ?? get in!
Zoya: err...sir, it's your car so you should get in first
Asad: what logic is that ? it doesn't matter...
Zoya: simple sa logic hai!(simple logic it is) I don't want you to be portraited as typical BMW driver...that's it...so after you sir
Asad: that's nonsense! There is nothing as such and also there something called as a gentleman and I think I'm the one. (Zoya gave him the brief look at that statement)
Asad(further added): some days!
Zoya(under her breath): now sounds better
Asad was above to say something, when another security guard came to Zoya, has he didn't notice Asad
Security guard: madam your car is in the middle of the entrance, please tell your driver to move the car
For a second, Zoya had forgotten what had happened inside, she just wanted to laugh out loud, on the other hand, Asad was totally speechless as Zoya's word came out to be so true that his own office guard was referring him as driver
Asad: excuse me!
Security guard: sunna nahi tumne! Gadi aage lo(turning towards him) entrance me kau...SIR!!!
Now the security guard was speechless seeing the grave he had dug for himself. He had completely mistaken Asad as a driver as Asad's back was towards him and he was talking to a lady standing in front of an open car in his casual wear which is not at all Mr. Perfectionist AAK and also the car was of no help Asad keeps on changing his car almost every month.
Security person: so..sorry sir..tharasal chutti ka din tha...toh...
Asad(strenly): toh aap aishe baat karenge?
Asad suddenly thinking," oh no! she is here if any kind of outburst will happen she will run away for the sure"
Asad(calmly): next time be more polite while talking. Now leave
Security person just nodded and almost rushed from there as if the prey got saved from a hungry lion. Asad signed and got seated in the driver's seat and gestured Zoya to get in. she was still standing hesitated
Asad: now what! For the god sake get in fast!
Zoya: vo windows.
Asad: what's with windows now?
Zoya: windows are shut can you please open it?
Asad thinking,"god!! This girl has so many tantrums and I can't believe I am so patience with her"
Asad: it's not required once you will get in I will turn on the AC (thinking something) now I got it what's your problem! You are thinking that I will do something wrong with you.
Zoya was shocked at his thought
Asad: like seriously?? You think so low of me... If I really wanted to do something I would have preferred my empty office than a car..thanks to government's new rule this car doesn't have a sun film so even if you shout people will come to know, you are totally safe...or else you call someone to pick you up since you are my employee it's my responsibility to make sure you reach home safely because you had fainted sometime before.
Zoya: you are misunderstanding me again sir, that's not the matter...vo actually...(taking a deep breath she said in one go) I have claustrophobia!
Asad was not so well aware of medical terms but then without saying a word he opens the windows and Zoya got in
Asad: vo actually... I'm sorry...I hope you are comfortable
Zoya just nodded her head
Asad: your address?
Zoya gave him the address and Asad started the car. There was an awakard silence in the car Asad was quiet due to guilt and Zoya was just digesting all the occurring. Asad finally decided to break the silence
Asad: what were you doing in store room?
Zoya: I went there to take the old records for making reports
Asad: there are no old records over there who gave you this Bollywood idea that heroine will always find the old stuff in the storeroom
Zoya was totally embarrassed by now
Asad(with a small laugh): don't tell me u applied same logic!
Zoya: no! I mean yes, it's not some Bollywood logic it's common sense...I mean store room are meant for storing old stuff so I thought I will find the records over there
Asad(smirking): yeah! You are too intelligent
Zoya thinking,"seriously this akdu is making fun of me! Let it be Zoya ignore"
Asad: btw if you want access to old records you have to just visit our official site enter your employee id and password you will get every year's project details. Don't need to do any stunt with the door
That's when Zoya remembered something
Zoya: sir,how did you find me there?
Asad didn't want her to go into that anxious mode again so he tried to avoid the topic
Asad: the thing is that I found you anything else doesn't matter
That one statement from him made her feel so different, she felt her heartbeat raising, by the way, he said " I FOUND YOU ANYTHING ELSE DOESN'T MATTER" Zoya again shifted her gaze outside the window
Asad: you said I was misunderstanding you again, when did I misunderstood you before if you are talking about Delhi project incident I really think it was too much that to just because I forced you to work...
Zoya: stop!
Asad halted the car and gave her the confused look
Zoya: my home came (showing her apartment to him)
Asad: oh! Ok take care
Zoya got down from the car and Asad started his engine .
Zoya(looking at him from the car window): sir!
Asad(suddenly looked at her): yes?
Zoya(hesitatingly): even I can't stoop so low, I didn't do anything intentionally and thanks for the drop.
With that, Zoya went from there leaving Asad in a dilemma as to trust her or not. Asad was driving back home when his phone ranged, he halted the car and attended the call.
Phone conversation:
Asad: yes Ayaan
Ayaan: bhai where are you?
Asad: I'm on the way to home, what happened?
Ayaan: great bhai than please pick me up, I'm near the blast disco
Asad: wait a minute, where is your car?
Ayaan: somebody punchered it..it will take lot of time to search a mechanic, repairing it than reaching home, abbu will kill me you know that
Asad: but it's entirely on the different lane, ok fine! I'm coming but will take around 20 mins
Ayaan: that's absolutely ok! Love you Bhai!!! I'm waiting in the car come fast
Asad picked up Ayaan and started towards their home
In the car:
Asad: so...you tell me what you did with your car.
Ayaan: I didn't do anything...
Ayaan was interrupted by a mobile ring
Asad: Ayaan attend your call
Ayaan: how am I supposed to attend it's your call
Asad: not mine
Ayaan searched for the mobile and finally found it under his seat. Asad halted the car seeing the mobile
Ayaan: whose mobile is this! Gudiya calling! I have heard this name somewhere.
Asad: Ayaan give it to me! I guess that's my client's cell
The phone got disconnected leaving the lock screen wallpaper of smiling Humeira also leaving Ayaan in 1000Vs shock.
Ayaan(freaking out): bha..bhai! you were with her!! I thought you were drooling over the elder one..but seriously her(showing the screen)...bhai what has got into you, she is a crackpot...it's impossible to survive with her, your life will be ruined..and also she doesn't suit you, also look at her height look at your height..no compatibility at all.
Asad again started driving
Asad: can I speak now?
Ayaan: no! there is nothing left to speak
Asad: this is Zoya's cell!!
Ayaan: whatever it is, this is not happening!..wait a minute, what you said?
Asad: this is Zoya's cell u fool!
Ayaan(sighing in relief): really! Then you are safe
Asad(teasing): I got saved or your routes are cleared?
Ayaan(hiding his blush): common bhai! Not her she is not my type, you saw na how she behaved with me that day.I still can't believe it, not a single lady in my life had talked to me like that.
Asad(teasingly): yeah even I noticed she actually has a good choice
Ayaan: very funny!! Anyway, what had happened ?
Asad narrated everything to him excluding the phobia part
Ayaan: wow!! Such a romantic weekend!
Asad: shut up Ayaan! Give me the cell I will return it to her
Ayaan(with a grin): no, I will do that honor! She is more comfortable with me if you want to return something return her earring.
Asad: what!
Ayaan showing the earring stuck in his zipper, seeing the earring he remembered that incident when he picked the unconscious Zoya from store room to his cabin, he immediately kept it in his pocket.
Ayaan(with a naughty grin): ahem ahem!
Asad: what I will return it back to her!
Ayaan: ok! I didn't say anything
Asad: good for you! Anyway, we are home!
Precap:
