AsYa(KaBhi)SS 'Ice-Cream Makes Everything Better' Last Parts, Pg 24 - Page 17

Sweetie I am waiting for you but I guess no luck today

"Crazy Ice-cream lover!!" He shook his head smiling as he reminisced about their early encounters... In that silent starry night he was cherishing the memory of that girl... That stupid annoying stranger, crazy ice-cream lover who finally has managed to make her way to his heart... How everything changed in last few months... So much had happened in his life...

He learned to enjoy each new flavor of life...

Did he? No... He didn't...

Why?

Because how could he learn when he wasn't willing...?

He wasn't willing to learn anymore lessons but then she taught him...with her own ways... Life has many flavors' He comes to know only when she came as a fresh breeze and gently touched the stillness... She introduced him to flow or else his life was stilled... She did show him the whole new meaning of life... She hold his hand and hypnotized he roam around to taste whichever new flavor she want him to taste... It was surprise...a pleasant surprise...the way he was at ease with her... It was always easy to share anything and everything to her... And she had become a friend...a philosopher...a guide... And may be much more he couldn't explicate...he didn't want to name it then... But again she has her own ways...

She taught him to smile and then she did want him to see the reflection of that smile... He didn't know when it's change...and how? All the time she was holding his hand but when she started wishing him to hold back...He didn't know... She was anticipating though she was aware... Its long way back he had curled his fingers tight... And he had made it strong...!! He did fall in love...and he had seen she did too... He did know she was aware but still she was wishing... wishing for his words!!!

"Do you know how stubborn you are Zoya...?" He was thinking how he was going to confess his feelings... You are making it difficult for me' You do know I am not good with words and still you are playing this game' He sighed bracing his hands on the window frame, staring at the moon... How it was easy to share anything with you then why I am having this nervous attack when it comes to share my feelings for you...' He didn't know how he was going to do it... Exclusive frozen treat... seriously?' He shook his head not knowing how to confess... He seriously need some research... God!!! Zoya you made me research the things I never thought I would do someday...first ice-cream flavors and now...how to confess' He rubbed his forehead moving back from the window and taking his laptop settled on the couch...

One day you'll look at someone and you'll wonder how you lived without them before... Because it's like you met and you feel whole for the first time...' She smiled writing in her diary... How true it is!!' She breathed leaning back in her chair... She was trying to concentrate and write something but all she could thoughts was him only!!

"You trust me Asad...then why you are still holding yourself back..." "You do really not understand it...or you don't want to understand?" She huffed closing her diary... He didn't even call her or not given a reply to her message she had sent two hours back... "He is just being stubborn I know..." "Isn't it as simple as he shares anything...just a simple I..." She stopped... Squeezing her eyes shut she took a deep breath... "I Love you Asad" She mumbled to herself and placed a hand on her heart that started beating crazily... First time she had said those words to herself... Even though she had known she loves him... immensely... deeply... madly... she had never said it aloud...

Is it as simple as anything?' She questioned herself... Can I say it to him as easily as anything else' Getting up she walked in her balcony...

Love...just the word itself was making her nervous...that good kind of nervous and she did realize it was not as simple as she thinks...but different...in all way...all new flavor she never ever taste before!!! "Allah Miya!!! I am having this frantic attack when he is not even present here in front of me...how I am going to say it to him then..." She took a deep breath again to calm down her racing heart... But why I am worrying...it was him who is going to confess first...yesss!!! It would be easy to reply to his confession...' She had decided but then frowned, "That is the big issue...to make him confess..." She sighed walking inside... sitting on her bed she grabbed her phone from the side table... Let's see what he is up to...' she thought unlocking her phone...

--- ❤️ ---

God!!! This internet is just exaggerating things...definitely I am not going to do any stupid act like that...' He closed his laptop irritated, "Does girls really expect such things" "Is this what Zoya is expecting too..." He shook his head, "No...she does know me very well..." "But she said she would like compensation..." "What does that mean...what type of compensation?" He rubbed his forehead tiredly, "This all is such a complicated..." Getting up he mumbled when his mobile beeped... And an instant smile lifted on his face as he read, "Hello Mr. Follower"

He shook his head as he typed the reply, "Ms. Mentor...trying to keep tabs on your follower...are you?"

"And why would I do that?"

"Just thought as you are still in Mentor mode?" He smiled as he typed...

"Ohhh that...I just thought you must be thinking about the theory"

"Which theory?" "And I have other many things to think about..." He tried to tease her

"Ohh really?" "Sorry then for wasting AAK's precious time"

He smiled imagining her displeasure, "Okay now as you have already disturbed my time, let's talk..." He typed hoping to get any clue about the compensation she has asked...

"Talk what?"

"About theory...your exclusive theory...I am wondering why the theory is applicable for follower only..."

"You can say it's a test time for follower..."

"And what if follower will fail...?"

"That is something Follower should take care of...Mentor can just wish... And he should remember that his failure will be his Mentor's failure too..."

"Hmm...then in that case Follower should get the compensation too..."

"Maybe Follower would get the one..."

"Okay...but isn't it a little complicated..." He sighed not knowing how and what to ask...

"Nothing is complicated Asad..." "Everything is just simple if you follow your heart...because it knows everything..." She took a deep breath waiting for his reply... "Okay...enough of discussing the theory..." she typed as he didn't reply

"Hmm..."

"What Hmm..."

"By any chance is the Mentor upset with follower?"

"And what made follower to think like that?

"It just...I guess..."

"Hmm...then follower should know one thing... Mentor may be displeased...but never stop trying... Mentor always has the other way you know..."

"Yeah...I know...for sure" He shook his head at her tenacity, My mentor has her own ways...'

"Good..." She typed with a big smile

"Now you should rest...you need more energy for tomorrow Ms. Mentor...those kids are not as patient and obeying as your poor follower you know..." He smiled imagining her rolling her eyes looking at the screen, "Good Night Zoya..." He typed before she argued more...

"Okay Mr. Poor Follower...but don't forget your promise...you promised a treat to us... A scoop of black Raspberry for everyone...okay?"

"Yes I remember...I'll come"

"Now don't start your work...keep your laptop aside and sleep" "Good night"

--- ❤️ ---

He shook his head remembering what kind of work he was doing earlier on his laptop... getting up he settled on his bed...

May be everything is just as simple as it is always...' He thought as he re-read their chat... "I know my heart's desire Zoya..." He smiled, "And I know what we both are seeking for...It is just as simple as a scoop of ice-cream..."

--- ❤️ ---

I don't know why you still find it complicated Asad...Isn't it just simple...' she wondered as she re-read his replies... But I am sure you'll understand...like you always did...' She smiled placing her mobile aside, One thing that we have in common is, we both know...what we have found...with a scoop of ice-cream...'

--- ❤️ ---

Next week Asad got busy with his work and he also had to go Mumbai for two days regarding some work... Both didn't get a chance to meet in whole week much, just twice and that too in office... But their days had never ended without their night chat... After a busy tiring day it was always relaxing for both of them... Asad didn't discuss about her exclusive theory nor did Zoya raise the topic again... She thought it's better to give him some more time while his mind was working on something...

Week had gone like that and it was again a Saturday...

"ZOYA...!!!" "Will you stop this act now...?" It was a limit of his tolerance and he yelled... but she didn't bother to reply...

It had almost half an hour he was trying to talk to her but she was torturing him with silent treatment...

It was Saturday and they were at lake... When he reached to the place his forehead creased looking towards the bench... Zoya was sitting with the tub of ice-cream in her hand when he was supposed to buy ice-cream for them...

Walking towards her he placed two cups of Cherry Vanilla on the bench that she has mentioned when they were chatting last night...

"Zoya...you asked me for Cherry Vanilla yesterday?" He asked but she didn't bother to reply and it was sort of shock for him as he noticed one empty tub on the bench and another half empty tub in her hand... the another unexpected thing was she didn't even wait for him...

"Umm...what is special in this flavor that you didn't wait for me...?" He asked picking up another sealed tub that was placed beside her but she glared at him snatching the tub from his hand

He sighed and waited for her to finish her ice-cream but as she placed the empty tub aside and started eating ice-cream from another tub his eyes widened... "Zoya!! Enough!!" "There is a limit!!"

She just didn't bother to look at him... He watched her as she scooped out a spoonful of ice-cream and stuffed it into her mouth...but the thing bothered him was he couldn't see that bliss on her face... Ice-cream means happiness for her and whenever he bought ice-cream for her he knew he was giving her happiness... But there he found all different Zoya who was looking irritate...furious and that was unexpected...Zoya was never like this before...

"That is what I want to say, there is a limit!!" She mimicked his words and glaring at him once stuffed another spoonful of ice-cream into her mouth

"What happened Zoya...I never saw you like this"

She glanced at him sensing the concern in his voice but still she wasn't ready to talk to him or to explain him anything... Turning her attention back to ice-cream she huffed, "It's because you never saw Zoya Farooqui's anger...so be careful Asad Ahmad khan..." She warned him and he straighten himself shocked with her tone...

"But why you are angry?" He asked carefully still not ready to believe that she was actually angry...

"Ohh...you don't know?" "Great" She said mockingly

"You think I know the reason and still I am asking you?" He asked wondering if it was really the effect of morning incident, "See, as I remember we met yesterday morning in office and nothing was wrong then...even you were okay while chatting last night...and today also nothing was wrong when you called in morning...so I don't actually recall any..." He stopped as she looked at him sharply...

Placing the tub aside which was almost empty she stood up and glared at him perching her hands on her hips... He could see the anger in her eyes, "You remember that I called you in the morning so you must remember the reason for that call too..."

"Umm...haan...I remember...but what is wrong..."

"Ohh...so you think nothing is wrong..." She interrupted and he smiled inwardly

"Haan toh...I don't think there was anything wrong" He said calmly enraging her more, "Isn't it great...I guess it's the first time that both Aapi and Jeeju didn't argue finding any negative aspect in this matter..." He stated trying very hard not to laugh at her state as he could understand now the reason behind furious Zoya Farooqui... "And see isn't it good that they are coming on Sunday...socho agar wo aaj aate toh...our Saturday routine would have been spoiled" he pressed his lips suppressing his laugh as she gritted her teeth...

She sat back on the bench and grabbed the tub... looking at the spoonful of ice-cream she cursed him under her breath "Urgh!! Fine!! If you are not bothered then why should I?"

He shook his head remembering the morning incident when his sister warned him that Zoya would get angry for sure and he just shrugged off saying, Zoya would never get angry'

******

Earlier that Morning

It was Saturday and so everyone seemed in a relaxing mood in Khan Villa... Rashid Khan was enjoying his morning coffee with newspaper; Dilshad Khan was in the kitchen while the princess of Khan Family was up early even though it was Saturday and just looking at her anyone can get the idea of how much excited she was...

"Ammi...I can't wait till tomorrow" She said excitedly and Dilshad shook her head, "I just talk with Zoya but she was sounding upset..."

Dilshad narrowed her eyes, "What did she say"

"Nothing Ammi...but I guess it and I don't like it a bit...I wish aaj hi Sunday hota..."

"Najma...I afraid your over excitement would ruin your Bhaijaan's planning" Dilshad Khan warned her playfully while coming out of the kitchen and Najma followed her...

"I have a solution Najma" Rashid Khan said placing the newspaper aside as Najma sat on the chair beside him

"Really...what is it" She asked excitedly while Dilshad shook her head looking at the duo

"Why we have to wait till tomorrow...? Let's just prepone it... how about today evening?" Rashid suggested and Najma beamed

"I don't think it's a good idea and Asad won't agree for it in the first place..." Dilshad's stated

"And why is so...as far as I know it was his idea and he must be as excited as we are to see the effect of his surprise...isn't it?

"That is true but if you forgot today is Saturday and as we all know he is not going to sacrifice his Saturday routine..."

"Not for this...?" Rashid raised his brows as if challenging Dilshad's statement "Don't forget this is about both of them only?"

"I know...but he won't... even though this is something about both of them" Dilshad sounds sure

"And what if he agreed"

"I know he won't..."

"Okay...okay..." Najma intervene, "Let's see who will be the winner of this argument" Please Bhaijaan say yes...please please...' She mumbled looking towards Asad who walked out of his room

"Bhaijaan..." she jumped up from her seat, "Are you excited for tomorrow?"

Asad gave her confusing look while sitting on his chair, "Why?"

"Tsk...I know you are...that is obvious..." she answered her own question and Asad smiled at her antics... "But tell me, would you like it if you get the chance to see Zoya's expressions soon...? I mean what if you don't have to wait till tomorrow?"

"And how is that?"

"See...jo kaam aaj ho sakta hai uske liye kal tak wait kyun karna...let's just prepone it..." Najma asked expectantly while Rashid and Dilshad waited for his answer

"Umm...yes...I would like it..." Asad said and Rashid grinned looking at Dilshad and Najma cheered, "Wow...that's great!!!"

"But...it's not going to happen as today is Saturday..." Asad completed his sentence making Najma frown and Dilshad raised her brows looking at Rashid who mumbled something under his breath while Asad looked at three of them confused...

"What?" He asked looking at Dilshad when Najma passed him a cup of coffee with a grumpy look

Dilshad shook her head, "As always" she said and Asad smiled knowing well that again they have some argument and as usual his Ammi proved them wrong

"You should think about changing your team tamatar" Asad said while Rashid glared at him

"Don't dare to manipulate my partner's mind"

And there started a usual banter in two teams when Asad's phone rang making them all quite at once as he showed them a name flashing on his mobile screen

"Asad you know what?" Before he said anything Zoya's voice came from the other end, "Umm...I have news...and it's really important"

"Then it must be something about ice-cream" He teased her

"Asad...I am serious" She whined

"Okay...okay...I know, if it's not the ice-cream then it must be some proposal your Aapi or Jeeju has suggested...isn't it?

"Hmm...and for the first time they both have approved it..."

"Ohh...then it's definitely the news...who is the lucky one finally won the two votes"

"I don't know...and I don't want to know either..." She huffed that made him smile, "But they are coming tomorrow..." She sighed

"So finally there is someone who impressed your Jeeju" Asad grinned and Dilshad glared at him asking him not to bother her

"It's not funny Asad...I don't want to meet anyone..."

"Arey...what is the problem in just meeting him...may be you would like him too...after all he is the first one who have got the approval from both Aapi and Jeeju"

Hmmm...' He smiled as she hummed dejectedly, Fine!!! Bye!!!' she hung up and Asad placed his phone aside... His gaze met with the three pair of eyes glaring at him...

"What is it?" Rashid demanded

"Kyun bechari ko pareshan kar rahe ho Asad" Dilshad said

"You are in my team Ammi..." Asad reminded

"No...when it comes to Zoya we all are in one team..." Najma declared and Asad shook his head, "And I think you have ruined your Saturday Bhaijaan, I am sure Zoya bohat gusse me hogi aaj..."

"I don't think so tamatar...she never gets angry..." He was sure "haan jab tak it's not related to her ice-cream..." He chuckled remembering their meetings when he ruined her ice-cream... Apart from that incident he never saw angry Zoya Farooqui... She was always calm...like her ice-cream... "Thodi upset jarur hogi but everything will be fine once she get her ice-cream..." He assured...

After Khan and Farooquis started working together, their relation didn't remain only professional... After meeting in some functions both the families also bonded well over the time... They were aware of AsYa's Saturday routine and also the witness of pleasant change in their relation... They were patiently waiting for their children to confess but there wasn't any sign of their wish to come true soon... And so finally elders decided to take the matter in their hands...

Asad was already thinking about confessing but the whole week he was occupied with so many issues at office... But then when his Ammi came with the marriage proposal for him that left him in shock... And it turned into a pleasant one when he comes to know who the girl was... That's when a sudden plan popped in his mind...

And so he decided to play a little here... It definitely going to be frozen treat for you Zoya' he had thought... He asked his Ammi and her Aapi-jeeju not to inform Zoya anything...

Hence Zoya Farooqui was unaware who the guy is...for whom both her Aapi-Jeeju gave their approval... She was shocked with the cool reaction from Asad... He simply asked her to meet any random guy...it upset her and then it turned into anger... She was frustrated now...it was the limit of her patience... Fine!!! If this is what you want, let it be as your ways...' She wasn't able to understand why he was behaving like this and how could he?

Asad Ahmad Khan was all cool while Zoya Farooqui...well, she really lost her cool!!

--- PART TEN ---

Ice-Cream makes everything better' isn't it?

Ohhh...but every theory has an exception too...!!!'

"Hmmm..." He sighed looking at her... Earlier he was very sure that even if she was upset because of his reaction to her news, she would be fine once she get her ice-cream and then he would make her understand that there is no harm in meeting that guy once and then it would be her decision only... This is not as simple as he thought' he shook his head...

Here what he was facing was nowhere in his imagination... Still he was enjoying this fierce Zoya... But the thing that disturbing him was the amount of ice-cream she was consuming...

Placing the third empty tub of ice-cream aside she grabbed the cones he bought and finally he decided to give a stop to her craziness...

"Enough Zoya!!" he snatched the cones from her hand, "Are you crazy..."

"Yes I am crazy...but why you bothered...and don't you ever dare to come in between me and my ice-cream..." She warned him while snatching the cones from his hand

"Zoya...do you have any idea about after effects of your craziness" He moved forward to snatch the cone back from her, "Don't act childish...you'll fall sick if..."

"Zoya!!!" He growled as she turned to warn him and the ice-cream smudged on his shirt... He got up searching the tissue paper in his pocket

"You did it again..." Zoya yelled getting up

"What...?? And what about this...??" he yelled back showing her the condition of his shirt

"This is not my fault...I have already warned you not to come in between me and my ice-cream"

He sighed at her childish behavior and decided not to argue with her more... She was already angry and now if he uttered a word against her ice-cream then it would become impossible to handle her... And he knew, he needed to act matured when she decided to act as a child... Trying not to think about his stained shirt he looked towards her and his hand reached to his temple as she sat back on the bench with one remaining cone...

"Zoya...don't...please..." he requested sitting beside her but she wasn't in a mood to listen anything, "Okay see, will you listen to me once after finishing it"

"Listen to you" She narrowed her eyes, "What?" "Is it about ice-cream...?" She asked taking a bite and glanced towards him, "Then please don't even try..." He sighed and watched her as she finished her ice-cream and huffed getting up, "I need more..."

"What..." his eyes widened and holding her wrist he pulled her down, "Stop it now and listen..." He ordered and she wriggled to loosen his hold on her wrist

"Urgh!!!" "Leave me Asad?" he released his hold and she moved back... "If you are trying to make me understand that I should meet that guy once and blah blah blah..." She mocked and he pressed his lips to suppress his laugh, "Then please no need to worry about it...I know what I have to do...If Aapi-Jeeju has decided something for me then I know it would be the best for me..." She sighed looking ahead, "It just that suddenly they planned the meeting and I wasn't prepared for something like this...that's it..." She turned her gaze towards him, "Don't worry...I am fine now..." She was calm but her explanation made him confused

"Are you angry because Aapi-Jeeju didn't ask you before deciding...?"

"No...Why should I...?" "They are not forcing me for anything...right?"

"Then what was the reason for hyper Zoya Farooqui?" He raised his brows, "Are you cursing that poor guy who sent the proposal?"

"Now why would I curse him?" She questioned back irritated

"Hmm...then what made you angry?" He asked and she shrugged her shoulders looking ahead

"Nothing...I am not angry" She said stubbornly that made him smile

"Ice-cream makes everything better...but I can see this theory of yours is not working for Zoya Farooqui's anger..." He teased and she glared back at him, "Ohh!!! Sorry I forgot...there is always an exception for each theory...right?" He asked representing an obeying follower who always follows his mentor...

"You know what?" She crossed her arms, "You should stop following my theories"

"Huh!!" "But why?"

"Because you are the most unpredictable person I know and there is not any theory that could work for you..." Again anger rose in her system

"Now what did I do?" He watched her as she stood up and he cursed himself for enraging her again...

"Nothing Asad...you did nothing...it's me who expected something..." "It's my entire fault...and yes I am angry...I am angry on myself only..." She shouted at once taking out all her frustration...

"Zoya..." getting up he called her worriedly, "Shhh...relax" holding on her shoulders he made her sit and she didn't fight back... He sat beside her, "Okay...I know...and I am sorry..." he said as he could see how much she was disturbed because of him...and that he didn't want...

"Asad...I need ice-cream...and not your sorry..." Getting up she said and he rubbed his temple...

"Tsk...this ice-cream..." "First my shirt..." he mumbled looking at his shirt, "And now it looks like my plan might ruin because of her ice-cream..." He shook his head, "No more ice-cream now..." He scolded her pulling down on the bench and she huffed like child, And she called me unpredictable' he shook his head looking at the sudden change in her... She glared at him and he smiled sensing her fake anger now...

Staring at her for a moment he took her hand in his, "What did you expect Zoya?"

"Huh!!" She blinked as he squeezed her palm... his sudden question...his demanding gaze and his touch started to make her nervous...and she looked away...

He squeezed her hand again urging her to look at him, "Tell me Zoya what you expected from me?" Moving forward he whispered...

His husky voice and she felt her heart hammered... She inhaled trying to calm her racing heart and looked towards him... He smiled raising his brows... waiting for her reply...

"You asked me to meet that guy...it didn't bother you a bit..." She said gazing in his eyes, "That I didn't expect from you..."

"I asked what you did expect...not what you didn't expect" He smirked

"Now as you know what I didn't expect then you should guess what I did expect" She huffed pulling her hand back from his hold and he laughed, "It's not funny Asad" she whined getting up and walking ahead stood looking over the water...

"Hmmm..." He breathed as he stood beside her... A gush of cool breeze and he smiled as the ripples spread across the water...breaking the stillness... That sight didn't trouble him like it was before... And shoving his hands in pockets he turned to look at her...

"Hmm..." He smiled noticing her grumpy look ... "So you expected my refusal to meet that guy..." "But why would I do that and why it would bother me when..." He paused as she glared at him

"I don't want to argue with you Asad..." She warned in a sharp tone that made him moved a step back...

"Okay..." He pressed his lips, "But still I want to know why you expected..."

"Because I am fool..." She interrupted, "that I thought maybe it would bother you"

"But..." Moving forward he held her both hands in his, "Why it would bother me if..." She wriggled but he pulled her close wrapping his one hand around her waist and she gasped, "Let me complete my sentence Zoya..." He said gazing in her eyes... His gaze held something that made her stilled... "Why it would bother me when I am the one whom you are going to meet tomorrow..."

She blinked...twice... and her eyes open wide as her brain processed his words, "So now tell me if you still want me to stop you from meeting the poor guy..."

"Asad... umm... you..." She couldn't find her words and he smiled as he tucked the loose strands behind her ear...

"Hmm...see I have planned something but your ice-cream ruined it all..."

She narrowed her eyes moving back from his hold, "And why you are blaming my ice-cream here?"

"See...if I am not wrong you are planning to spend the whole night cursing me...with the company of your ice-cream... right?" he raised his brows

"Umm...maybe..." She giggled

"And after that don't you think humari meeting kal kisi hospital me hoti...?" He questioned crossing his arms and she laughed more... "So in any way mera plan ruin hona hi tha...and that only because of your ice-cream..." He sighed, "So I think it's wise to ruin it in a better way..."

"Hehehh...don't blame my ice-cream..." She laughed and moving forward he pulled her to himself wrapping his hand around her waist... She gasped squeezing her eyes shut...feeling all new sensations in his close proximity... He caressed her cheek with his thumb, "You are such a stubborn Zoya..."

She breathed holding his hand stopping his soft caress that creating havoc inside her and opened her eyes, "And what about you...Do you have any idea, how much you have tortured me with this act of yours...don't you find it necessary to tell me before..."

"Why should I have to tell you...?" He smirked and she narrowed her eyes, "See, I have got the approval of your Aapi-Jeeju and as you said your Jeeju's approval is most important in this matter...right?"

"Really...?" She wriggled in his hold and he laughed as he let her go... Glaring at him she crossed her arms, "Then what would you do if I refuse to your proposal Mister?"

"I know you won't..." He sounds sure and she raised her brows...

"Aahh!!! You sound very confident"

"Yes...I am..." He pressed his lips and walked towards the bench while she followed him, "And you shouldn't have reacted like this when you are already aware of my feelings...Right?" He asked as she sat beside him and she nodded looking in his questioning eyes... He took her hands in his... "Wasn't you sure about what you have found Zoya..."

"But...that doesn't mean I don't want the confirmation..."

"I guess there is no need to seek for any other confirmation when you..."

"Asad..." She whined as he mimicked her words and he laughed, "You should stop reminding me about my theories..." She warned him, "And for your information that each theory was for you only to follow...don't try to frame me in that..."

"Hmm..." he smiled and leaning forward placed his lips on the back of her palm... She closed her eyes feeling the touch of his lips for the first time... "So you still need my words..."

Opening her eyes she just hummed in response...

"I am not good in expressing my feelings Zoya..." He said looking in her eyes while caressing her wrist with his thumb... "And my words can't even explain what you are to me...because you are the best thing that has ever happen to me..." "I know all you wished is...my words...and if you are seeking my confirmation in those words then I am ready to say it all my life..." Holding both her hands in his he kissed her knuckles, "I love you Zoya...I love you more than I love anything else...and all I need is You by my side...for all my life...as my friend...as my guide...as my wife!!!" He said gazing in her eyes and she felt overwhelmed...his words...his gaze...his touch...everything conveyed his pure feelings for her and tears brimmed in her eyes... Moving forward she wrapped her hands around his neck...and he smiled wounding his hands around her, "Now see...I made you cry with this words..."

She shook her head tightening her hold, "Thank you Asad..." She breathed letting her happiness flow in her tears... "Thank you for coming in my life...it's not a dream come true for me Asad...because I never dare to even dream for it...my dream was never this beautiful...my life was always incomplete...you feel that void...you made me feel complete..." "Thank you to letting this crazy girl to hold your hand..." She smiled moving back "And now you have to bear these stained shirts..." she said and he laughed... Caressing those stains on his shirt she looked up in his eyes... "I...I Love you Asad..." she said and hugged him back resting her head on his chest...

"I just want you with me like this Zoya...for forever..." She looked up and he placed his lips on her forehead, "This is something precious that we both have discovered...and I don't want to lose it ever!!!" He said and she smiled resting her hand on his thudding heart promising him...and he squeezed her close to himself...

"Zoya..." he called after a moment of silence and she moved back, "I trust you but still I have a doubt about something..." he said sheepishly

"Huh!!!" she looked at him in disbelief, "Doubt? Then how can you say that you trust me Asad?"

"Umm...see I trust you and I know you love me but the thing I want to know is..." He paused and she narrowed her eyes, "Do you love me as much as you love your ice-cream?"

"Ohh...so you are jealous of my ice-cream..." She raised her brows

"What I can do as Ice-cream is your first love after all..." He sighed

"Hmm...you are right...and my answer is NO..." She pressed her lips trying to hide her smile as he sighed dejectedly

"Hmm...I should have known it..."

"Of course you should know it Asad...because..." she paused moving forward... Circling her hands around his neck she gazed in his eyes, "Because I love you more than I love my ice-cream..." She said and a smile lifted on his lips...deepening the dent on his cheek...

Tilting her head back she smiled mischievously and he narrowed his eyes, "I love your dimple...and whenever you smile I always wanted to..."

"Wanted...what?" He asked as she paused...

She bit her lower lip, "Wanted to do this..." Saying she placed her lips on his cheek...where a dent deepened under her lips...

She moved back and he raised his brows, "And..."

"And what?" She asked confused

"Anything else...you want to do?" He asked mischievously leaning towards her and she hid her face in his chest...

"And I always wanted to be here...in your arms...yaad hai, first time you hold me like this..." She asked and he nodded remembering the day... That was her Ammi's death anniversary, she was trying to hold back her emotions...trying to hide those tears with smile...and sensing her turmoil he just enveloped her in his arms...asking her to cry...that was unexpected to her and for him too...but still that felt right... "And that day I found this place... where I can cry and I can laugh...where I can feel protected...I can feel contented...where I feel loved...and I can feel complete...this is where I want to be for forever..." She mumbled placing her palm over his heart...

"You belongs here only Zoya..." He assured squeezing her palm... "This place is exclusively reserved for you..." He added and she laughed...

"And..." He asked again cupping the side of her face in his palm and she looked up...

"And..." She smiled biting her lip, "Don't you think this moment is incomplete...without..." He narrowed his eyes as she moved back... "Without ice-cream"

His eyes widened and he shook his head, "No more ice-cream...it's already more than enough Zoya..."

She laughed getting up, "Just A scoop of new flavor to make it perfect..." She teased him and walked ahead...

"What if I won't allow..." He asked holding her hand while walking beside her

"Don't act as an enemy of my ice-cream Mister?" She giggled

"I am not but I guess your ice-cream surely acted the one for me..."

"You are still blaming my ice-cream Asad..." She whined smacking on his arm

"Of course...mera plan toh kharab ho hi gaya na..." He pressed his lips

"You know..." She stopped walking and turned to look at him... He narrowed his eyes noticing her sudden serious expressions... "We always do the planning...and wished the things to be happen in that way only...I agree we planned for the better but that doesn't mean unplanned happenings can't be good...but sometimes it can be wonderful..." She smiled and moving close placed her palm on his heart... "Don't you think this evening is just wonderful...perfect than it could ever be...?

He smiled looking in her eyes...those eyes were shining with delight...dimple smile glowing on her face...his heart thudded under her palm...saying Yes...what could be more perfect than this...' He squeezed her palm that placed over his heart and smiled...assuring her... She blinked and rising on her toes kissed his dimple...his eyes closed as her lips lingered on his dent for a moment before she moved back...

He grinned wounding his hand around her as he pulled her to himself... "I guess..." He said moving close and she felt her cheeks warm up as her eyes met with his...she looked other way and her heart raced feeling his breath near her ear, "I should smile often..." A slight touch of his lip on her ear and she gasped stepping back... He laughed as he let her go...

She walked ahead while he followed her... Turning back she smiled... "And I guess...you should accept Ice-cream makes everything better...with its own way..." she said and he shook his head walking towards her...

She intertwined her fingers with his as they kept walking..."You know bowl of ice-cream is wonderful...but even more wonderful if a cherry is put on the top..." She declared and he sighed knowing well that he has no other option but follow her...

"Okay...so which new blend you want to try..."

"It's Caramel Macchiato for today..." "Not blend of any flavors we know...but all new flavor we had never tasted before..." She said looking up to him, "We together are going to taste it for the first time..."

He smiled wrapping his hand around her and she snuggled close to him... "Flavor that we are going to blend with all other flavors to make everything better..." He said gazing in her eyes and placed his lips on hers...

Woooh...wooohh...wooo

Shayad yahi hai pyaar...haaa...yahi hai pyaar...

Asad had realised his feelings towards zoya but still decided to tease her
Omg Asad's plan to give surprise zoya but zoya ruined it with ice creme

Asad already planned to marry her as he knew she love him but poor zoya did not know anything and let out her anger through ice creme
