Chapter 5
Asad's residence:
Asad had been working on his surprise for Zoya since he came home from office. He went into her room, decorated it and left several gifts in there. He hoped that Zoya loved his surprise and forgave him. He came out of Zoya's room and walked into the living room. He saw that everyone was sitting on the couch, watching tv, except for Zoya. It was 9:00pm and Zoya still wasn't home.
"Ammi, itne raat ho gee hai or Ms. Farooqui abhi tak nahi aaye?" Asad asked Dilshad anxiously.
"Asad, aa jaye gee wo. Koi choti baacho nahi hai. Apna khayal rakh sakte hai. Bas raaste mein he go gee." Dilshad answered Asad.
Asad still felt restless.
********************************
Outside some old building:
Razia comes to an old building. She told Tanveer to come there too.
"Billo Rani, tum aaj kal mera phone kyun nahi utha tee?" Razia asked Tanveer.
"Wo kya hai, mujhe apke ab koi madat nahi karne. Maine bohat buri kaam kee hai or aaj shayad uske he saza mil rahe hai. Asad ko mera saach pata chal gaya tha or mujhe ghar sy nikhal diya. Uss waqt mujhe samaj nahi aa raha tha k main kahan jaon. Toh ab main ek women shelter main rehte hoon. Mujhe mere saree galtion k ehsaas ho gaya. Aaj k baad, main sirf aache kaam karoon gee. Kisi k saath bhi bura nahi karoon gee." Tanveer said to Razia.
"Tumhe ho kya gaya? Yeh kya naya natak hai tumhara? Tumhe mere madat karne he ho gee. Zoya iss waqt apne Abbu k talash phir sy kar rahe hai. Usse kaise pata hai k uske Abbu zinda hai? Hum dono ny aisa plan banaya tha k usse yakeen ho jaye uske Abbu iss duniya mein nahi. Phir kaise pata chala usse?" Razia questioned Tanveer.
"Maine bataya Zoya ko. Zoya ko uske Abbu chaiye hain or ab koi nahi usse rokh sakta unse milne k liye. Ab main Asad or Zoya k madat karoon gee, unhe bataye begher. Unka aacha soochon gee ab." Tanveer said to Razia.
"Tumne bataya uss Zoya ko k usky Abbu zinda hain? Agar itna bata diya tha phir yeh kyun nahi bataya k uske Abbu hai kon?" Razia questioned Tanveer.
"Kyunki uss waqt main chahate thee k Zoya apne Abbu k liye tarpe. Main usse dard dena chahate thee. Uss waqt mere dimag nahi kaam kar raha tha. Par ab, ab mujhe apne galti ka ehsaas ho gaya. Or ab main agar Zoya ko kahun gee k unke Abbu kon hain, wo mera yakeen nahi karege. Or ek or baat. Aaj k baad main apke madat nahi kar sakte." Tanveer said to Razia.
"Tum mere madat karo yan na karo, par iss waqt Zoya yahan aas paas hai, apne Abbu k talaash kar rahe hai. Maine gundon ko hire kiya or kisi b waqt wo Zoya par attack kar dy gy." Razia said evilly.
"Kya? Ap Zoya par attack nahi kara sakte." Tanveer said worriedly.
"Ab tak to uss par ho gaya ho ga attack. Tum kuch nahi kar sakte." With that, Razia smirks and leaves.
"Main Asad ko unknown number sy message kar k bata dete hoon k Zoya k jaan khatre main hai. Agar usse main apne number sy message karoon gee, usse lage ga main jhooth bol rahe hoon."
Tanveer quickly messages Asad.
********************************
"Ammi, ap unhe please phone kare." Asad felt that something was wrong.
"Najma, Zoya ko phone karo." Dilshad said to Najma
Najma dialed Zoya's number. "Ammi, Zoya phone nahi pick kar rahe." Najma said to Dilshad.
"Yeh ladki bhi na. Itne irresponsible hai. Itne raat ho gee hai, ghar b nahi aaye or upar sy phone bhi nahi utha rahi." Zeenat said.
Suddenly Asad's phone beeped and he saw that it was a message from an unknown number.
"Tumhare ghar k paas ek purani building hai. Uske aas paas Zoya hai. Or uske jaan khatre main hai. Jaldi sy jaa k usse baacha lo."
Asad was shocked.
"Asad, kya hua?" Dilshad asked worriedly.
"Ammi, ek unknown number sy message aaya or yeh likha k Zoya ki jaan khatre mein hai." Asad said with tears in his eyes.
"Kya? Meri baache." Dilshad cried, shockingly. Dilshad almost fell over, almost fainted. Najma caught hold of her.
"Ammi, apne app ko sambhale, kuch nahi ho ga Zoya ko." Najma said, trying to console her mother.
"Ammi, main Zoya ko dhoondne jaa rahe hoon. Maine phele he kaha tha, kahan bhi jaate hai musibat kare kar dete hai." Asad said to Dilshad.
Asad left to go search for Zoya.
"Pata nahi mere baache kiss haal mein ho gee. Ya Allah, mere Zoya ko salamat rakhe. Usse kuch nahi hona chaiye." Zeenat said while crying.
"Ap sab fikr maat ki jiye. Main mere princess ko janta hoon. Agar kisi musibat main ho gee, toh usse bahar b nikhala aata hai mere baache ko." Anwar tried to comfort everyone.
********************************
Outside an old building:
Asad was driving his car really fast, searching for that building where Zoya might be.
"Ya Allah, mere Zoya ko kuch nahi hona chaiye. Agar usse kuch ho gaya, toh main jee nahi paon ga. Wo meri Zindagi hai (Sad Mitwa). Usse kuch nahi hona chaiye hai." Asad said to himself.
********************************
Meanwhile near that old building:
Zoya is walking, looking for a bus stop.
"Allah Miyan, itne raat ho gee hai, or mujhe koi bus stop he nahi mil raha. Mr. Khan toh bohat gusse mein honge. Main kya karoon?" Zoya said to herself. "Ek minute, lagta hai wo aage hai ek bus stop."
Zoya started walking towards that bus stop. She sat on the bench beside the bus stop.
"Main Phophi ko phone kar k bata dete hoon k thodha late ho jaon gee." Zoya says. She takes out her phone from her purse. "Allah Miyan, iske battery abhi he dead hone thi? Ab main kya karoon?"
Suddenly, Zoya heard many footsteps coming towards her. She looked up and saw that there were about 5 goons coming towards her. (This scene is similar to something that once happened in Qubool Hai.)
One goon walks up to Zoya and says "Arre madam, yahan akhele kyun bethe ho? Aao, main tumhe ghar chor deta hoon."
Zoya looks up at him in disgust. She says to him "Its okay, main akhele manage kar loon gee."
Another goon comes up to Zoya. "Kya madam, itna kyun sharma rahe ho? Aao na hamare saath."
"Ap please mujhse door rahe." Zoya tries finding her pepper spray in her purse. "Yeh pepper spray kahan hai?" Zoya said to herself.
Zoya quickly gets up from the bench and tries running away. But the goons surround her. One comes closer to her and is about to touch her, but she slaps him across the face.
"Tumne mujhe taphar mara? Ab dekho main kya karta hoon." The goon said evilly. He signals another goon and that goon takes out a knife.
"Aaj toh tum baacho gee nahi madam. Humare saath chalo, yan marne k liye tayaar ho gao." That goon said evilly to Zoya. He walks closer and closer to Zoya. He is about to stab her with the knife, but someone comes running and pushes him out of the way.
"Mr. Khan." Zoya was so surprised to see him. She ran and hugged him. Asad moved Zoya behind him so that she wouldn't get hurt.
"Yeh kahan sy aa gaya?" One of the goons said in anger.
Asad started beating them all up. One goon came right behind Asad, the one with the knife and almost stabbed him.
"Mr. Khannn." Zoya screamed.
Asad turned around and hit that goon so hard. One goon came behind him and held him. He kicked the one in the front and elbowed the one in the back. One goon came up to Zoya and almost hit her with the knife but she pushed him away. During that, she got a cut on her hand with the knife. Another goon ran towards Zoya to hit her, but Zoya tried using her karate skills to hit him but that was no use. The goon pushed Zoya so hard and she was about to fall. Asad came in time and held her. His hands were around her waist and her hands were around his neck. They both were looking into each other's eyes. (Mitwa moment). Asad and Zoya realized what position they were in. The goon was about to hit Zoya with a bottle, but Asad came in the way and the bottle broke on his head. He had a cut near his head. Asad lifted Zoya and swung her around, knocking out all the goons with Zoya's legs. (Just imagine that scene that happened in Qubool Hai. Too lazy to type out the details.)
After, all the goons ran away, scared.
"Ms. Farooqui, ap theek hain?" Asad asked Zoya.
"Hmm jee Mr. Khan." Zoya replied.
"Ms. Farooqui, yeh apky haath py el cut hai or ap keh rahe hain k ap theek hain?" Asad asked angrily.
"Mr. Khan, yeh toh kuch bhi nahi hai. Maib theek hoon, don't worry. Ek minute, apko bhi chot lage hai. Yahan, apke saar k paas." Zoya said worriedly.
Zoya walked closer to Asad and started blowing on his forehead, where he got injured. (Mitwa). After a while, Zoya stepped back and said "Ab dekhna, dard nahi ho ga."
Zoya was slightly smiling and laughing.
Asad noticed her laughing. "Ap hass kyun rahe hain?"
"Woh yaad hai? Aisa kuch phele bhi hua tha. Apne mujhe ghar sy jaane k liya kaha tha or woh bhi adhi raat mein. Or tab bus stop py aise he gundhe aaye thee, or apne mujhe aa k baacha liya tha. Or aaj bhi waise he baacha liya (Mitwa)." Zoya explained to him.
"Jee, mein hamesha apko baachon ga. Mere bina pata bahi tumhara kya ho ga. Aaye ghar chalty hain." Asad said.
Asad and Zoya walk towards Asad's car.
"Mr. Khan, apko kya lagta? Main apne ap ko baacha nahi sakte? Agar ap aate nahi, toh phir b main baach jaate. Kyunki mujhe apne ap ko baachana ata hai." Zoya said angrily.
Asad knew that it was going to be useless arguing with her so he never said anything. Asad opened his car's door and made Zoya sit. Then he sat in the car and started driving.
"Ms. Farooqui, maine apko subha he kaha tha k ap jahan bhi jaate hai, saath musibat ko b attract karte hain. Or dekhiye, aaj bhi wo he hua." Asad said to Zoya.
"Mr. Khan, isme mere kya galti hai? Maine toh unn gundon ko nahi bulaya." Zoya said back angrily.
"Main bataon apki kya galti hai?" He asked Zoya.
"Kya?" Zoya questioned.
"Ap itne khoobsurat jo hain." Asad replied to her.
Zoya blushed. Then she suddenly remembered that she was still angry at him and he still wasn't able to convince her.
Asad saw Zoya blushing but she didn't reply back to him. "Ms. Farooqui, ap ab bhi mujhse naraz hain?" Asad asked Zoya.
"Haan, hoon." Zoya said angrily.
"Ms. Farooqui, choor bhi dy gussa. Maine maafi maange hai, or woh bhi hazaar baar. I'm sorry Zoya." Asad apologized again.
Zoya didn't want to forgive him that quickly. She thought to herself "Mr. Khan ny kitne baar maafi maange hai. Lekin Mr. Khan, main nahi apko itne jald maaf karoon gee. Main b dekhte hoon mujhe manane k liye ap kya kya kar sakte hain. Waise Mr. Khan sorry kehty hui kitne cute lagty hain."
"Ms. Farooqui, kahan khoo gee hain ap?" Asad asked her, as he noticed that she was lost in her own thoughts.
"Wo, kaheen bhi nahi. Waise apko kaise pata tha k main kahan hoon? Mera matlab, apko kaise pata chala k main uss old building k paas hoon, or kisi musibat mein hoon?"
"Mujhe kisi ka message aaya tha. Unknown number sy. Jaise he maine message phara, main apko dhoondne k liye nikhal gaya." Asad replied.
Asad shows the message to her.
"Unknown number? Jisne apko message kiya, usse kaise pata tha k main kahoon hoon or main kisi khatre main hoon? Kya koi mujhe py nazar rakh raha hai?" Zoya questioned.
"Pata nahi Ms. Farooqui. Yeh sab to maine phele soocha he nahi tha. Hum ghar poonch gy hain. Iss baari mein hum baad mein baat karty hain." Asad said. "Or haan Ms. Farooqui, kal ay, office sy main thodha jaldi aa jaon ga. Main apke saath roz chaloon ga, apke Abbu ko dhoondne k liye."
"Fine Mr. Khan." Zoya said a little annoyingly. "Mr. Khan ko lagta hai k main ek chote baache hoon." Zoya said to herself.
Mr. Khan, hum ghar mein kisi ko iss baare mein nahi bataty. Warna woh pareshaan ho jaye gy. Or main nahi chahte k meri wajah sy koi pareshaan hoye." Zoya said to Asad.
"Haan, ap fikr maat ki jiye, kisi ko kuch nahi pata chale ga." Asad said.
Zoya smiled at him and they rang the doorbell. Najma came and answered it.
"Ammi, Bhaijaan or Zoya aa gy hain." Najma said.
Dilshad came to the door and saw both Asad and Zoya. She went and hugged Zoya.
"Zoya, mere baache, tum theek ho?" Dilshad asked worriedly.
"Yes Phophi, I'm fine." Zoya answered.
Zeenat came running to Zoya.
"Zoya, meri baache, meri jaan. Beta tum theek ho? Tum nahi jaante k hum sab ko tumhare kitne fikr ho rahe thee." Zeenat said.
"Appi, don't worry. I'm perfectly fine. Mujhe kuch nahi hua." Zoya answered.
"Dekha, maine kaha tha k humare Zoya ko kuch nahi ho ga." Anwar said happily.
"Jiju." Zoya said and went and hugged him.
Dilshad noticed that Asad had a cut in his forehead.
"Asad beta, yeh chot tumhe kaise aaye hai?" Dilshad asked worriedly.
"Ammi, yek kuch nahi hai." Asad replied.
"Zoya, yeh tumhare haath py chot kaise lage hai?" Anwar asked Zoya.
"Jiju, don't worry. Yeh toh kuch bhi nahi hai." Zoya answered.
"Asad, Zoya, tum hum sy kuch chupa rahe ho, haina?" Dilshad asked.
"Nahi Phophi, don't worry. Ap yeh sab baate chore. Mujhe bohat bhuk lage hai. Phophi, mujhe apke haaton ka khana khana hai." Zoya said to Dilshad.
"Haan, main table py dinner laga tee hoon. Tum or Asad jaa k fresh ho jao." Dilshad said.
"NAHI MS. FAROOQUI." Asad yelled. He realized that if Zoya went into her room, she would see the surprise.
"Mr. Khan, ap aise chila kyun rahe hain." Zoya asked curiously.
"Woh actually, ap apne kamre mein nahi jaa sakte." Asad said.
Dilshad then realized that Asad's surprise for Zoya would have been ruined if Zoya went into the room.
"Kyun Mr. Khan? Mera kamra hai. Main jab marze jaa sakte hoon." Zoya replied angrily.
Asad walks to Dilshad. He whispers to her "Ammi, ap kuch kare. Zoya ko kaise bhi apne kamre mein jaane sy rokh lein."
"Zoya, beta, wo tum Najma k room mein change kar lo. Uske paas tumhare liye suit hai. Tumhe kab sy dena cha rahe thee." Dilshad said. And then she winked at Najma.
"Hmm okay." Zoya said confusingly. She said to herself "Kuch toh hai jo yeh sab mujhse chupa rahe hain."
"Haan Zoya, aao." Najma said.
Najma quickly took Zoya to her room. Najma gave her a pink salwar suit with a black bottom and black dupatta.
"Wow Najma, yeh toh bohat pretty hai. Thank you so much." Zoya said happily.
"Your welcome. Ap jaldi sy change kar ly or phir aa k khana kha le jiye." Najma replied.
"Okay." Zoya went to the washroom to change.
"Thank you Allah Miyan. Aacha hua Zoya apne kamre mein nahi gy." Najma said to herself.
********************************
Ayan's residence:
The telephone rings and Shireen recieves it.
"Kya?" Shireen said in shock. She dropped the phone and fell to the ground.
Everyone came running to her.
"Shireen, kya hua?" Rashid asked her.
"Woh..." Shireen tried speaking but she couldn't because she was in shock.
"Woh kya Ammi?" Ayan asked.
"Woh Haseena Bi ka phone tha." Shireen said.
"Haan, toh kya kaha uno ny?" Nikhat asked.
"Uno ny humse rishta thor diya. Imran k liye koi aur ladki pasand kar le hai." Shireen said while crying.
Nikhat fell to the floor and started crying.
"Ab meri Nikhat ka kya ho ga?" Shireen said.
"Ammi, ap tension mat li jiye. Imran sy zyada aache ladke main dhoondha ga hamare Nikhat k liye." Ayan said.
"Haan, Ayan theek keh raha hai. Waise b, shuru sy he Haseena Bhi ny hamare itne bazati ke hai. Humare Nikhat ka mazak oraya. Aise ghar mein hume humare beti ka rishta nahi karna chaiye tha. Aache hua rishta toot gaya." Rashid said.
"Haan Baji. Don't worry. Hum apke liye Imran sy b zyada aacha ladka dhoondhe gy." Humaira said, trying to console Nikhat.
"Shireen, tum bhool jao Haseena Bhi or unke family ko. Humare Nikhat ka rishta hum koi aache sy ghar mein karwaye gy. Haina?" Rashid asked Shireen.
"Haan Rashid. Ap sab theek keh rahe hain." Shireen said.
Everyone was thankful that Haseena was the one who broke the relation. They didn't want to break it themselves because that would make them look bad in front of everyone. Everyone heads to their rooms to go sleep. Ayan follows Humaira to her room.
"Ayan, ap yahan mere kamre mein kya kar rahe hain?" Humaira asked Ayan.
"Aaj kal, ap toh mujhe bhool gee hain. Mujhse baat he nahi karte ap." Ayan said, pretending to be mad.
"I'm sorry Ayan, par aaj kal tum kar par he nahi hoty." Humaira replied.
"Humaira, hum sab ko picnic py jana chaiye hai. Ghar mein itna kuch ho raha, or agar hum sab bahar jaye gy, sab ka mood theek ho jaye ga." Ayan said.
"Haan Ayan, yeh bohat aacha idea. Hum kal sabse pooch ty hain." Humaira said.
Ayan stepped closer to Humaira.
"Ayan, ap yeh kya kar rahe hain?"
Ayan whispers in Humaira's ear "Or sabse yeh bhi pooch lena k hum dono ka nikaah kab karna hai. Wo kya hai Humaira Begum, ab mujhse or intezaar nahi hota."
Humaira blushes. "Ap b na Ayan." She runs out of the room.
"Humaira, suno na." But it was too late, Humaira already left.
"Mujhe ab Humaira ko bata dena chaiyd hai k main unke baare mein kya soochta hoon." Ayan said to himself.
********************************
Asad's residence:
Zoya gets ready and comes out of Najma's room. She enters the dining room. Everyone is sitting at the dining table. Asad sees Zoya come. He is mesmerized. He saw her wearing the pink/black salwar suit that he gave to Najma to give to Zoya. Asad couldn't take his eyes off of Zoya. Zoya felt Asad staring at her and she blushed.
"Zoya beta, aao, tum kuch kha lo." Dilshad said to Zoya and made her sit beside her.
"Zoya, tum bohat pyari lag rahe ho." Zeenat said.
"Haan, meri Zoya toh hamesha itne pyari lagte hai." Dilshad said.
Zoya smiled at them.
"Haan Bhaijaan, Zoya bohat khoobsurat lag rahe hai haina? Najma asked teasingly.
Asad and Zoya make eye contact. "Haan bohat khoobsurat." Asad and Zoya were both looking at each other (Mitwa Moment).
"Zoya. Kya hua?" Najma teased her.
"Woh um kuch nahi Najma. Main woh bas-" Zoya tried explaining.
"Zoya, tumhe kuch samajane k zaroorat nahi. Main sab samaj te hoon." Dilshad teased her too.
Zoya just smiled at Dilshad.
"Zoya, yeh lo. Pizza kha lo." Zeenat said to Zoya.
"Jee." Zoya replied.
"Waise Zoya, mujhe or tumhare Appi ko tumhe kuch kehna hai." Anwar said to Zoya.
"Jee Jiju, kya?" Zoya asked.
"Woh hum dono New York wapis jaa rahe hain or ab wapis nahi aayenge." Anwar said and winked at Zeenat and Dilshad.
Zoya was shocked. "JIJU, ap yeh kya keh rahe hain? Ap dono mujhe chor kar nahi jaa sakty." Zoya was really upset.
"Zoya, jana toh pare ga." Zeenat tried controlling her laughter.
"Nahi, agar ja bhi rahe ho, toh wapis kyun nahi aa sakte. Main na ap dono sy naraz hoon. Mujhe khana nahi khana. Main kamre mein jaa rahe hoon." Zoya said in a upset tone.
"Ms. Farooqui, maine apse phele bhi kaha k ap kamre mein nahi jaa sakte." Asad said to Zoya.
"Kyun? Mera kamra hai. Main jab marze jaa sakte hoon." Zoya replied angrily.
Asad was looking at everyone, looking for someone to help him stop Zoya. Zoya gets up from the table and walks towards her room. Anwar and Zeenat run to her and hug her tight.
"Mere princess, hum toh mazak kar rahe thay." Anwar said while laughing.
Zoya looks up at him angrily and slaps him in a playful way.
"Haan Zoya. Saach toh yeh hai k main or tumhare Jiju hamesha k liye yahan Bhopal shift ho rahe hain. Humne ek kar b ly liya hai or tumhare Jiju ny apna sara kaam yahan shift kar liya." Zeenat said.
"Kya? Ap dono yahan shift ho rahe hain? Yeh toh bohat aache baat hai." Zoya said happily while screaming happily. "Lekin woh mazak aacha nahi tha. Ap dono ny mujhe daara he diya tha." Zoya said angrily.
Zeenat and Anwar laugh.
Asad comes up to Zoya. "Ms. Farooqui, aankhein baand ki jiye." Asad said to her."
"Kyun?" Zoya said to him.
"Ap bas ankhein baand ki kiye." Asad said again.
"Mr. Khan, ab bhool kyun jaty hain k main apse naraz hoon? Agar mujhe ap baar baar aise bulai gy, toh main naraz kaise reh sakte hoon. Dekhiye, main apse naraz hoon kyunki apne mujh py yakeen nahi kiya tha. Or main tab tak naraz rahoon gee jab tak ap apne galti ko sodari gy. Apko mujhe manana pare ga. Or haan, please ap mujhse bat mat ki jiye. Maine apse baat nahi karne." Zoya said angrily.
Asad doesn't reply to her. He goes behind her and ties a black cloth on her eyes.
"Mr. Khan, ap yeh kya kar rahe hain?" Zoya questioned angrily.
"Ap dekhiye." Asad said.
"Mr. Khannn." Zoya screamed.
But Asad didn't listen to her. He lifted her forcefully and walked into Zoya's room. The rest of the family follows him.
"Mr. Khan, mujhe neeche utariye." Zoya screamed.
"Nahi." Asad said.
"Ammi, Zoya itne cute lagte hai gusse mein haina?" Najma asked Dilshad.
"Haan Najma, or jab yeh dono aise larty hain, toh yeh dono or bhi cute lagte hain." Dilshad said to Najma.
They both laugh.
Asad opens the door of Zoya's room. He removes the black cloth off of Zoya's eyes.
