They were finally in Canada.
Zoya smiled on seeing the city. Montreal was awesome. However no words were exchanged between Zoya and Asad since Dave's intervention. As soon as they reached one of Asad's properties Zoya was going to get ready for bed but then she noticed how he was going to wash Habib so she decided to help him.
"I can help if you want to." She said. Asad seemed as exhausted as her. He was going to say no but then she picked the shampoo from his hand and put a little of it in the palm of her hand to wash Habib's hair. Zoya almost cried because she couldn't imagine the texture of her babies' hair.
Everything about Habib reminded her of her impossibility to look after her little babies.
After they washed Habib, Zoya went to take a bath and when she left the bathroom, as it was a bit dark, she tripped over her own foot and landed on Asad. SHe had only a towel on. Their lips were just mere inches apart. She was gripping his shirt tightly and he was holding her waist. They looked at each other ready to fall back in each other's arms when Dave came, calling for Asad.
"Hum, am I disturbing something?" He said a bit too jealous and Asad held back a laugh. Only Dave could come and crash everything that was going to happen between the two.
"No Dave. It's okay." Asad whispered against Zoya's lips and wanted to kiss her but then Zoya realized that if she moved, her towel would fall and she would end up naked in front of her love interest and Dave.
"Uh..Actually, you're disturbing something, please leave." She said and Dave was taken aback, he left shocked and hurt.
"You seem to have the same naughty mind, Zoya." Asad said and Zoya glared at him. 'Shit he remembers!' She thought.
"It's not like that, I'm going to end up naked if ever I'm getting off of you..." She said and Asad laughed. He cautiously pulled back and to Zoya's luck her towel didn't fall.
"Thank you." She said and was going to leave but Asad grabbed her hand.
"I didn't forget Zoya." He just said and she turned red before leaving.
At the morning, everyone was quiet while eating the breakfast. Dave was still tense about what he saw, Zoya was thinking about Asad's words and Asad was thinking about his meeting with the doctor later this day.
"Dave I'd like to excuse myself for last night. It was just a big misunderstanding." Zoya said looking directly at Dave.
"I'll accept your apology if you accept to go on a date with me." Dave said and Zoya almost choked on drinking her coffee. She looked at Dave and his eyes seemed full of hope. Then she glanced at Asad and he seemed hurt.
"I'm sorry Dave but I can't. I'm here to help Mr Khan, not to flirt." She replied softly and Dave just sighed, clearly hurt. On the other hand, Asad smiled slightly.
"Actually Zoya, when you'll be done eating, I want you to video call Ayaan in order to ask him how he's doing with the company." Asad said and Zoya nodded.
As soon as she finished eating, Zoya did her task and called Ayaan. If she hadn't dropped her pencil then bent under the table to pick it, she would have met Najma but destiny had other plans for her.
"Hello there..?" Ayaan said and she emerged from under the table.
"I'm sorry Mr Khan I was just picking my pencil." Zoya replied and Ayaan smiled at her.
"Tell me Zoya what does Bhaijaan want?"
"He wants you to tell me how you're doing, how the company's doing, you know, things like that."
"Tell him not to worry. Everything is great. I am searching some information about his associate to be, Mr Ghafoor Ahmed Siddiqui."
"Associate?" Zoya stuttered shocked.
"Yes. I'll give you later all the information I've found about him to tell bhaijaan." Ayaan said then hung up and Zoya looked at the blank screen. She couldn't let Asad join her father. He would destroy Asad's business.
Zoya was now really tense. She had to find a way to..yeah, she got the solution.
"Abbu?" She said as her father picked up the phone.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"I don't want you to be Mr Khan's associate." She answered.
"Who are you to tell me what to do?"
"I know that I am not important enough to tell you what to do but if you listen to me.. I.. I'll accept your choice to keep Ahsan with you..It's what you wanted right? A male heir!" Zoya said on the verge of crying.
"So you're basically selling your son to protect a stranger, your boss! People are right you're just a s**t. Tell me did you sleep with him to get the job?"
"Forget about what I said. Some day I'll come back to take my children and Humeira. And you'll never see their face ever again! You're so gross I can't even believe that I once took you as my hero!" Zoya said and hung up. She went to the bathroom and took a cold shower to calm herself.
"Enough!" Zoya screamed, breaking the glass in her bathroom with bare hands. She was now bleeding seriously.
"Zoya are you okay?" Dave asked but she didn't answer she expected to hear Asad, not Dave.
"Yes, I just dropped something." she said.
"Miss Farooqui please open the door."Asad finally talked. Zoya looked at her hands, they were covered with blood and with pieces of glass.
"I can't." She whispered and she didn't expect none of them to have heard her but then she heard a noise and next thing she knew was that she was engulfed into Asad's arms. Then he carried her outside the bathroom to the living room next to Habib.
"What happened Zoya?" Dave asked while bringing the first aid kid.
"I fell." She replied. Dave hummed and Asad looked at her suspiciously. Something was going on in Zoya's life.
Zoya looked at Habib and smiled, he smiled back.
"What the doctors said about him? Can he be cured?" She asked with such concern that Asad just wanted to give the moon to her and even more if it was possible.
"They don't know yet but he has to be examined." Asad answered while he was bandaging her hand.
"Please try to be more cautious next time."Dave said thinking that he was being left out.
"Yeah, sorry for scaring you." Zoya replied then turned her attention to Habib as Dave left.
"How are you little champion?" Zoya asked picking him in her arms despite her pain. Habib then held her hands and kissed them then he smiled at Zoya. Asad took a picture of them.
"You're not tired with pics?"
"I'll never be tired to snap pictures of people I love.." He answered and left.
At night, when everyone had finished eating, Asad put Habib to bed then he knocked at Zoya's door.
As soon as she opened the door, he grabbed her petite waist and his lips covered Zoya's soft lips.
"I can't take it anymore, Zoya I still want you.." He whispered and she pushed him off of her.
"No we can't do this!" She roared.
"Why? I know that you're feeling something for me Zoya. Your mouth says no but I can read it in your eyes."
"Please, don't make it difficult Mr Khan. I'm your P.A and you're my boss that's all. This, us, can't happen.." She said sadly.
"Why? Tell me why!" He asked and Zoya just sighed.
"You don't need to act anymore Mr Khan. I know."
"What do you know? I'm lost right now..."
"This one night stand, two years ago..was only a good f**k for you. I know that you're married. Your wife Tanveer told me everything. That's why I left the morning after. I was also expecting something two years ago. I was expecting something more than this and I'm still believing that we can be together, but I'm not like this. I don't want to be between you and your wife. So please just stop it."
