PART 1
"Haan Ammi I have reached the airport. ...aah ok" the man ended the call and started searching for someone. His eye balls were moving in all directions but still they were not meeting their desired destination.
Suddenly a lady tapped on his shoulder from back "Asad"
The man turned and smiled "Aap yaha hain...I was looking for you only."
The girl smiled "Wo...I went to the washroom. "
"Aah it's completely ok..." he smiled and showed her the way.
"Zoya give me your bag" he took the bag and started walking towards the Exit along with her.
The man was Asad Khan who had to come to pick his 1 month old wife Zoya Khan from the airport .
Asad Khan was a software engineer settled in Pune, who got married to Zoya Faarouqi just a month back. Since he was living in a bachelor pad then...he couldn't bring Zoya with himself immediately after marriage. But now he has found himself a 2 BHK flat...so now his wife was here to live with him.
Theirs was an arranged marriage. ..and ..here is how the two of them got married. .
FLASHBACK STARTS
"Asad ..." Dilshaad came inside Asad's room and found him reading a book.
"Tum bas kitabon me hi ghuse raho" She pushed his legs a little and settled herself on the bed.
Asad smiled "What to do I love being with myself ...I don't like socialising. .u know that." He kept his book and aside and kept his head in her mother's lap.
Dilshaad smiled and caressed his hair " yes you are shy...I know that."
"Ammi"
"Kya Ammi...aisa hi raha toh...ho gayi tumhari shaadi"
"Phir se Shaadi"
"Asad you will turn 29 next year...ab koi bahana nahi" Dilshaad showed her finger.
"Koi pasand hai tumhe( you like someone?) " she asked.
"Nahi" Asad nodded in no
"Toh thik hai...mujhe pasand hai " Dilshaad said to which Asad at once got himself straightened.
"Kaun"
"She is my friend's daughter...Zoya...unke taraf se rishta aaya hai" Dilshaad's smile showed her fondness for Zoya.
"Oh...toh this was your plan" Asad said sitting on the bed.
"Jo bhi tha...but I am serious Asad ...you can meet her tomorrow at CCD."
"Ammi you fixed the meeting also..."
"Yes...tum par bharose nahi hai mujhe is mamle me" Dilshaad said getting up and forwarded a picture which she managed to hide all this while "Zoya".
Asad took the photograph not showing much interest but as soon as the door got shut...he immediately turned the photo and brought it in a closer periphery. ...a smile came on his face "Beautiful"
"Hai na" the photograph got dropped from his hand at the sudden voice of his mother..who seemed to be spying on his shy son.
"Ammi...wo I am feeling sleepy...good night" he pulled the blanket and covered himself.
"Good night and sweet dreams...photo utha lena " Dilshaad was too happy to leave this golden opportunity to tease his son.
------
"Aur ghabrana mat" Dilshaad said correcting Asad's collar.
"Ammi" Asad whined ...his mother was teasing at every given opportunity.
"Ok all the best...you are looking handsome. " she kissed his cheek.
He walked inside the cafe and started searching for her. His eyes landed on the figure which had managed to steal his heart just by a mere picture. Her beautiful innocent eyes were looking here and there...seems like she was searching for him only.
He walked towards the table "Hi...Asad"
"Ahh..hi..." the girl stood up.
"I am sorry ..I got a bit late" Asad apologised .
"It's ok..."
"Aap kya lengi" Asad called the waiter.
"Ummm a hot chocolate will do" Zoya smiled and gave the order.
"So...you know why are we meeting" Asad started hesitantly. ..
"Hmm...u want to ask something"
"Nothing as such ...aap khud hi bataiye kuch apne baare me" Asad smiled
and this is how a casual conversation began bringing them to a little ease with each other.
"So..." Asad asked keeping his fingers crossed.
"I don't have any problem with this marriage" Zoya said shyly.
"Me too..." Asad smiled and then both of them started looking here and there.
After a while "I think we should leave" Zoya said checking the time.
"Aah ok I will drop you" Asad paid the bill and started walking out with her.
"No..no...my sister will be coming at JP mall..so I will manage"
"Ok...aah Zoya" Asad hesitated
"Ha"
"Wo wo...can I have your no." he finally said.
"Haan kyu nahi..." Zoya gave her number and smiled seeing his shy nature. He was a lot like her.
-----------
"So" Dilshaad asked as soon as she opened the door...seemed like she was too excited.
"Achi hai..." Asad smiled.
"Sirf achi hai...ok I get it u don't want to marry her" Dilshaad said in an upset tone .
"Maine aisa toh nahi kaha(I didn't say that) Asad at once defended himself.
Dilshaad raised her brows in a teasing manner conveying she already knew it.
"I am ready" Asad finally gave his approval.
-----------
It was all planned by Dilshaad and Zeenat(Zoya's mother)...both the families had already approved...they were just waiting for their kids' approval...and since it was a yes ..immediately an auspicious date was picked which was just a month away. Asad was told to apply for leave which he gladly did.
In this month ...their talks were only limited to hi and hello...moreover Asad was doing overtime so that he could get the leave.
Finally the day arrived
"Qubool hai" Both Asad and Zoya accepted each other as their life partner.
The Kazi sahab declared them as man and wife...and soon the reception started.
---------
"Hamare yahan isse pehle pati patni ek saath nahi reh sakte" an elderly lady of the Khan family was showing her disagreement as one of the rituals was missed.
"But Asad is leaving for Pune tomorrow" Dilshaad said.
"Rasam toh rasam hai" the lady didn't deter..
"It's ok Ammi" Asad kept his hand on his mother's shoulder. ..he didn't want to create a drama and then looked at Zoya who smiled in an understanding manner.
Next day...
"Aapki ye shirt rakh dun(Should I keep this shirt)" Zoya asked Asad . She was packing his bag as he was leaving .
"Arre I will do it"
"Koi problem nahi hai...you check your flight details" Zoya smiled.
"Sorry I am not able to take you now...but I promise next month you will be there" Asad was feeling terrible for leaving on the second day of their marriage. ...but what to do...his boss was becoming the villain.
"Aah it's ok" Zoya lightly squeezed his hand.
FLASHBACK OVER
Asad and Zoya reached their flat.
"It's beautiful" Zoya said taking a round .
Asad just smiled " You must be hungry...you freshen up ..I am ordering the food. "
After an hour
Both were having their dinner in silence. Once in a while their eyes used to meet...and they just used to pass a smile. .
After having dinner...both entered the bedroom.
Both were anxious to share the same bed...they were shy ...apprehensive all at the same time.
"Right or left" Asad finally asked.
""Right"
They got settled in the bed. They were sharing the same blanket too...which was making them feel butterflies in their stomach .
"Good night" Asad smiled to which Zoya reciprocated " Good night"
and we shall wish the Khan couple good night too😉😉
