Chapter 10
Khan mansion:
Asad and Ayaan had just reached home, Ayaan was busy with his play station when again Zoya's phone ranged he paused his game and took the phone again it was gudiya calling
Ayaan: such a restless girl, it's better I pick up and talk else she won't let me finish my game
Ayaan answered the call but he didn't even get the chance to even say hello as person on the other side was continuously bombarding with questions
Phone conversion:
Humeira: omg! Baji, why are you not picking up my call! I was so worried
Ayaan was above to answer but before that he was again interrupted
Humeira: u didn't even give your weird office landline number but you know I'm smart enough, I googled it but no one was answering I was so tensed! I tell you such a big organization and such irresponsible staff are you sure you want to work there?
Ayaan thinking,"how dare she talk about DC like that" he was above to shout at her but only if she let him speak
Humeira: ok! I called you to inform that I'm in library now I have already informed Abbu, it will take 2 more hrs for me to return home don't worry my friends are with me and Imraan will drop me once the assignment is done
Ayaan signed in defeat thinking,"no point trying, let her finish"
Finally, she realized that she is not getting any response from Zoya she checked the screen but the call was still on
Humeira: baji, why are you not saying anything?
Ayaan: only if you let someone speak
Humeira: ok, but what happened to your voice baji its sounding weird
That was end of Ayaan's patience she is calling him weird
Ayaan: because you are a fool, you really think its baji's I mean Zoya's voice, I suggest you record your voice and hear yourself seems like I'm talking to a nursery kid and saying I am sounding weird
That's when Humeira realized it's someone else on the call
Humeira: how dare you! Wait a minute, how come my sister's phone is with you? Where is my baji? Who are you?
Ayaan was above to say something but was again interrupt by Humeira
Humeira: why are you quiet! Answer me
Ayaan: just shut up and let me speak one more word from your side I'm disconnecting the call then you can assume whatever you want to! Is that clear?
But there was no response
Ayaan: are you there?
Humeira(annoyed): you only said not to speak
Ayaan(huffed in annoyance): Zoya had forgotten her cell in office so it's with me, I will return it to her tomorrow
Humeira: ok, but nobody was answering the landline why so?
Ayaan: whom do you expect to attend your call on Sundays! ghosts?
Humeira(confused): but baji had said its working today
Ayaan suddenly remembered his brothers doing and immediately covered up
Ayaan: off course, it was working but only for architects not for receptionists to entertain useless calls and besides...
He was above to continue but stopped hearing the beep, he checked the screen
Ayaan(annoyed): she disconnected?
Ayaan called her back, she reluctantly attended it
Ayaan: excuse me? I was talking to you and you disconnected in between! What kind of behavior is that?
Humeira: yeah I did that! What you taught that you will say anything to me and like a poor old school girl I will satisfy your ego! Well I was quiet when you told me to shut up because I wanted to know about my baji since she is safe I care less talking to you
Ayaan was amused by her, he smirked and said
Ayaan: are you for real? You know what that name is perfect for you!
Humeira: what name?
Ayaan: alien
With that, he disconnected the call
Humeira: hel...hello alien? Have I heard this before? Oh! he is that car vala fellow!
Najma: koi mil gaya?
Humeira: haan?
Najma: you might have heard it in that movie u know jaddu!(mesmerizingly) My Hrithik's movie
Humeira: ohk vo koi mil gaya, aacha Najma, Ayesha everyone listen na tell me is my complexion seems bluish?
Najma/Ayesha/Imraan/nikhat: what!
Najma(worried): did you accidently eat something poisonous?
Humeira: no! anything ha Najma
Ayesha thinking,"I'm not that lucky"
Imraan(teasingly): it's a big thing she eats normal stuff forget poisonous
With that he and nikhat hi-fived each other
Najma: PJ
Humeira: guys! I'm serious
Ayesha: ok! What you exactly want to know?
Humeira: do I look like jaddu from that movie? I know I'm bit short but I'm not too short like him and unlike him, I have 5 whole fingers
Nikhat: today I officially declare her mad
Ayesha: exactly! Leaving cinderella, snow white you are comparing yourself with jaddu??
Najma: whats wrong with it? Anyone would desire to live his life
Imraan: excuse me?
Najma: more than half of the movie Hrithik was carrying him on his back! What more can someone ask for, while watching movie I was actually jealous of that creature
Imraan: no wonder you both get along with each other so well, both need a psychiatrist
Najma punched him lightly on his arms
Imraan: ouch!
Seeing their friend's antics alien matter slipped from her mind and they continued with their assignment after some teasing section
Khan mansion:
Rashid was reading some book in his room and Dilshad was busy arranging some clothes in the wardrobe when Asad marched in with his laptop
Asad: Abbu I need your help
Rashid: ok, but why are you so restless?
Asad: nothing, I want you to review this design please (handling him the laptop)
Dilshad(under her breath): work, work, and only work. I wish someday he will march in the room saying Ammi Abbu I like someone
Rashid(focusing on design): it's designed by you, right Asad?
Asad: yes, I mean not fully, Abbu we can say 50% of these is mine and remaining was designed by one of our new architects
Rashid: I'm very impressed by his work, by seeing how perfectly its done I thought it's completely your model I can say one thing you both make a great team
Asad: it's not he, it's she, yeah she is talented but...Abbu just go through this requirement and analyze the design then you will see what disaster she have done
Dilshad got alerted when she heard Asad for a change talking about a girl though it's regarding official matter she cares less about it, she wanted to know more about that girl who is making her son so restless, Dilshad continued her work pretending to be completely unaware of the conversation.
Rashid was confused after going through the requirements, seeing his father's expression Asad said
Asad: I knew it! She completely ruined it right, she shouldn't have done this for such a silly reason
Rashid: what silly reason? Tell me everything from the scratch
Asad narrated everything from her interview till all this misunderstanding happened excluding the part where he had modified the compensation amount from 2lakhs to 20 lakhs
Rashid: Asad I didn't expect such a behavior from you! Is the way you treat ladies?
Asad: Abbu but...
Rashid: no I don't want to hear any explanation! First tell me why were you so hell bend in recruiting that girl using that bond when you yourself was not in that systems favor when I introduced it
Asad didn't know what to say as he himself is searching for the reason for forcing her in the name of bond
Asad: vo actually Abbu as you said she is talented and her designing skills are good, though I was not in the favor of that bond but it was your decision how can I insult it for a normal employee
Rashid: am I talking to the business tycoon AAK? because hearing your reason you are sounding like a dumb teenager
Asad didn't dare to say a word hearing his Abbu's tone
Rashid: about this design, I don't think she has done anything to take so-called revenge from you. If she would really want to spoil the design she would have totally ruined it making it a disaster but she completed your design making it a masterpiece, and coming to the loopholes you are crying about the client suggested to remove their glass wall because they had problem of privacy and also he wanted to keep an eye on all his employees, the main problem was not the glass wall it was privacy, you had planned CCTV layout and she replaced the glass wall with stained glass in both the case privacy is taken care of and in every case she has taken care of requirements but in an indirect way than yours
Asad took the laptop from Rashid and went through the design again as due to anger he didn't mind checking it properly. He realized his Abbu is right! Maybe she was really framed or maybe by mistake she ended up with wrong design.
Rashid said observing Asad's expression
Asad: I hope you will not blame that innocent girl anymore
Asad nodded his head with a guilt and was above to leave when he heard a voice "also you will apologize" he turned around hearing Dilshad's voice
Dilshad: it was wrong from your side that how you forced her to work in our company and after having a misunderstanding that she cheated on you, don't know about AAK but I know what extend my Asad can go in his anger. I'm sure you must have done something terrible, I hope you will not let me down
Asad: I will apologize for that Ammi
Dilshad smiled at him. He hugged her and went back to his room
Asad's room:
Asad remembering Zoya and Rashid's word
FLASHBACKS:
Zoya: how is it possible, I was given some other info... I have no idea how...trust me I have never seen this requirement report before...I was given some other report. (readers if you don't remember this scene is from chapter 7)
Rashid: every case she has taken care of requirements but in indirect way than yours (it's from their above conversation)
Zoya: even I can't stoop so low, I didn't do anything intentionally (it's from chapter 9)
Rashid: about this design, I don't think she has done anything to take so-called revenge from you. If she would really want to spoil the design she would have totally ruined it making it a disaster but she completed your design making it a masterpiece (it's from their above conversation)
Asad: Damm! Abbu is right! If she really intended to spoil my work she could have done it that way also..God! she is innocent in all this..what did I do!!
Asad lied down on his bed thinking," I just want this night to get over soon so that I can make things right tomorrow" (with that he closed his eyes)
Zoya's house 2 am in the morning:
Zoya smirked looking at her pen drive
Zoya thinking," Mr. Akdu Ahmed Khan it would be fun seeing your expression, you spoiled my weekend I will spoil your first weekday. Zoya may be weak at times but you shouldn't have underestimated the architect in me"
Next day morning
Dilshad construction:
Asad reached the office before the usual time, he was going to his cabin glancing at his office to find her, he found her near the printer doing some work small smiled formed on his lips seeing her, but then controlling himself he rushed to the cabin before anyone spots his funny actions.
Asad was checking some emails but his mind was completely on Zoya about how to apologize to her. As he is not used to it
Asad thinking,"common Asad you can do it, it's just S.O.R.R.Y sorry, but for that, I have to call her here but by what reason. I will ask Rohan to send her here for some discussion. that's a great idea"
Asad took the receiver dialing Rohan's extension when someone knocked his cabin door, he kept the receiver back hearing the knock
Asad: come in!
The person entered his cabin but he was little shocked seeing the person as she was none other than Zoya with the piles of files so much that it was actually covering half of her face, she kept it on his table and took a long breath
Zoya(under her breath): so heavy
Asad(confused): what is this Zoya?
Zoya: reports sir, you only said to submit it before 10! It's done
Asad's eyes went wide hearing her
Asad(shockingly getting up from his place): what! Yesterday I myself dropped you home! Don't tell me you completed it today within 2hrs?
Zoya(enjoying his reaction): no sir...how is that possible! I completed it from my home logging into the official site by using employee id and password and morning just took the printout from my pen drive
Asad was speechless and was staring at the files he had just said that in anger but he never expected her to complete this almost impossible task. Zoya was leaving the cabin when Asad called her
Asad(hesitantly): Zoya
Zoya: sir, I will be back with reports
Asad: reports? Then what are these (pointing at the huge piles of file)
Zoya: sir you told me to prepare last 10 years project report and these are just last 3 years reports I will bring rest 7years reports
Asad(more surprised): these are just 3 years reports!
Asad had just said the random number which came in his mind, he never expected this mini heart attack in form of the result
Zoya: I will be back
Asad: take peon's help
Zoya: its ok sir, I will manage
Before Asad could say anything she had stormed out, he didn't fully recover with this shock when Zoya came with another huge pile it seems more than previous one, she kept it next to the previous pile and again went towards the door
Asad(horrified): now where are you going how much is remaining?
Zoya took the last file and checked the year
Zoya: 2013, two more years files is remaining
Asad signed in relief and Zoya went to bring the files, Zoya came back with another huge pile of files it was covering till her nose
Asad(looking at the files): you said just two years files are remaining
Zoya: yeah but in last two years DC has cracked so many deals and tenders so...
While taking with Asad, Zoya had lost her focus and as a result all the file was above to fall from her but Asad was fast to react he immediately came and held her hand balancing the file from another side, they had an intense eye lock(mitwa ishq pe zor nahi...) their trance was broken by the Asad cell which had started ringing. Soon Asad loosened the grip from her hand to attend the call but again the heap started slipping so immediately he came back to his position holding her hand tightly. Both awkwardly looked at each other not knowing what to do, they were stuck in such a position that even a single person move all files will be scattered
Asad(sternly): I told you to take peon's help!
Zoya: i...I didn't want to bother him, poor man already has so many works...cleaning each and every cabin, arranging every interior properly, helping other employees with their food etc etc
Asad rolled his eyes at her statement
Asad: that's his work, he is getting paid for that...
Zoya just looked down not wanting to argue more
Zoya: sir, now only one thing can be done, let's leave it
Asad: what! No way, all these files will be scattered here
Zoya: its ok, I will pick it up
Asad: I'm not ok with it, why to create a mess when we can avoid it! I can't see my cabin like that, all these files and papers scattered everywhere
Zoya: si..sir, it's just a paper
Asad: so? The mess is a mess!
Zoya annoyed thinking," He really gonna make me stand like this whole day to avoid is so called mess! also, his warm hands are not doing any help, I hope he is not able to hear my heartbeat as if somebody had connected speakers to my heart "
Asad: where is this Rohan! Always he his glued to my cabin but now when he is needed nowhere to be seen! I think you are right we should leave this
Zoya signed in relief finally he was talking sense, but then fortunately for Asad Rohan and Tanveer entered the cabin
Rohan: sir, there is a probl...(he stopped seeing them both standing holding hand with piles of files in between)
If there would have been any flammable substance it would have been on fire by Tanveer jealously. She just wanted to throw her out of Asad's life forever!
