Thank you for commenting! Really means a lot when people let me know how they felt it was. I'll be updating soon, I'm writing the next chapter already!

So I haven't updated this one in a while, sorry for that heh. Here's the preview of the next one! The whole chapter might take some time to write, I've got a few more stories on my mind that I can't get out! And a lot of studies😅. So I just decided to post whatever I had written... Sorry!

The Heart and The Mind

Preview of Chapter 10: Belief...

Asad Ahmed Khan was sitting on the sofa, wearing casual jeans and a t-shirt, carrying some gifts and talking, laughing with her Jeeju. She felt the corners of her lips being tugged into a small smile. After all, Asad Ahmed Khan laughing, was a rare sight! Zoya cautiously walked into the room, wondering where Tanveer was and why Asad was here. He looked at her as she walked, making butterflies explode in her stomach. She could feel his gaze on her with every step she took, pleading for her response.

She stole a mere glance at him, but even in a millisecond, she could read his eyes. They were screaming at her for forgiveness, pleading for her trust and shining- with love for her. She couldn't help but smile a little, and in no time Asad was smiling back at her! She raised her brows and looked at him with questioning eyes, asking him what was the matter. He shook his head in negative, ever so slightly, such that only Zoya would notice.

She felt a familiar lump in her throat as she looked at Asad. She didn't know what it was, was it fear, sadness, jealousy, anger? Zoya blinked and looked away from Asad, trying to swallow the dreaded lump.

Sooo that was it heh ...

Awwww I love Api and Jeeju for everything they’re doing for their Zoya! I love Asya and can’t bear their pain….looking forward to their conversation and for all misunderstandings to be cleared!

Amazing update! Can’t wait for more!

The Heart and The Mind

Chapter 10: Belief...

Asad was ecstatic, seeing Zoya again albeit a day apart. He couldn't stop himself from looking at her. Even in the simplest clothing, she could take his breath away. His lips curved into a small smile when he saw her lowered lashes, slowly fluttering up to look at him nervously. He noticed her eyes were reddish and puffy, and felt a pang of longing course through him. God knows how long she had been crying! He ached to hold her in his arms and tell her that's everything's going to be okay, that he loves her and no one else could snatch him away from her, that he will always belong to her.

Asad caught her eye, finally. She was looking at him with furrowed brows and questioning eyes, he couldn't help but smile at her. She looked taken aback, making him question what was wrong but then he realized there were tears forming in his eyes. He gasped in realization and buried his face in his hands, wiping away the tears.

"Zoya! Come help me set the table for dinner!" Came Zeenat's voice from the kitchen, breaking Asad out of his reverie.

Zoya gracefully stood up an walked towards the kitchen, her hair swaying with each step she took. Somehow Asad found himself noticing these little details about her, and he loved it. He admitted to himself he loved everything about her, from her pouty lips to her silly shayris! He observed Zoya helping her Api out with setting he table. His heart hammered when the hem of Zoya's t-shirt rode up to reveal her waist a bit while she pulled out a box from a tall cupboard, giving Asad a glimpse of her milky skin he'd had several fantasies about. He was surprised at how such a little thing could make him feel so intensely in love with her. How would he be able to handle himself when they-

A melodious and chirpy voice broke him out of his thoughts.

"Dinner is served!" Zoya called, as Anwar got up from the fairly comfy sofa and motioned Asad to get up too.

Dinner was a fun affair, with Anwar and Zoya casually taunting each other and joking around, Asad was too busy smiling to himself and at Zoya! He jokingly rolled his eyes at Zoya when he saw her piling up several spoons of mashed potatoes on her plate, from which he earned a glare from Zoya but he nevertheless loved it. She stuffed her face with the expertly made steak and mashed potatoes, causing Asad and Anwar to chuckle lightly and Zeenat to roll her eyes.

The apartment went quite silent after dinner as Anwar announced that they were 'tired' and went of to their room, tagging along a confused Zeenat. Asad sat on the couch, fiddling with his phone and trying not to stare at the beauty before him.

Zoya had changed into her beloved pajamas which had pink and purple flowers printed all over them. She too sat on her favorite chair, a 'Lazy-Boy' right in front of the couch. She kept twisting her fingers nervously, stealing a glance or two at Asad.

After a long period of awkward silence, Zoya finally decided to break the silence.

"Uhm..M-Mr Khan, would you like some coffee?" She asked softly.

"Uh, yeah! Sure..." Asad replied, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

Zoya got up from the chair and went to the kitchen silently to make them some coffee.

In no time, the smell of freshly pressed coffee wafted throughout the apartment. Zoya came towards the couch, holding two steaming cups of coffee in her hands, making Asad's heart slam against his chest. How did she manage to affect him so damn much?! Zoya quickly placed the cup in front of him and walked away to the balcony, her favorite part of the house.

Asad furrowed his brows, got up with the cup in hand and followed her into the balcony. He slowly walked and stood behind Zoya, who was leaning against the railing. He sighed and strode up to her side, also leaning his elbow on the railing. Asad faced her and looked at her intently, taking a sip or two in between. Zoya tried and averted his gaze, staring at the busy road below.

After a long awkward silence, Zoya finally decided to break the silence.

"So, where's Tanveer?" She asked coldly.

"She's gone, I don't know where, and I don't care either." He said, his expression darkening.

Zoya looked at him with fearful eyes.

"What do you mean you don't care?!" She asked, her voice rising. But Asad stayed cool as a cucumber.

"She's... not who we all thought she was." He said, shaking his head. Something in his way of saying caught Zoya's attention.

She kept her cup of coffee on a small table in the corner of the balcony and suddenly turned to face him, "what do you mean?" She asked, unable to keep the worry out of her voice.

Asad sighed and continued, "I mean, she isn't the friend that I knew, she's a horrid woman."

"Are you saying this just because-"

"Zoya, before you make any conclusions please just...listen to me." He pleaded. Zoya fell silent and nodded. Asad too placed his cup on the spindly table.

"Tanveer, she was...she was pregnant." Asad revealed and to his surprise, Zoya abruptly turned away from him.

"And...and you don't care where she is?! YOU-"

"Zoya! No, you're misunderstanding the situation! God no, she wasn't pregnant with...with-"

"I thought you a very good man Mr Khan, I can't believe you've abandoned her for-"

"ZOYA!" Asad said sharply and held her by the shoulders. She winced and in an instant he let go of her, unpleasant memories flooding back. "The baby. Isn't. Mine." He said, trying to calm himself and not just kiss her silent.

"W-what?" She stammered.

"The baby she's pregnant with, it isn't mine. In fact we don't even know who's it is!" He let the truth out quickly in hope of her understanding it.

"I..I don't understand I thought you...you loved-"

"Zoya don't talk nonsense! Hadn't I just told you that I love you right before she decided to turn up and ruin everything?" Asad chided, taking her slender hand into his and looking her straight in the eyes. Peading her to trust him, just once.

"W-well...I thought..." Zoya started, her head bowed in guilt for how low she'd thought of Asad.

"What?" He asked earnestly.

"I'm sorry Mr Khan but- I just, I need to think it over. I need some time." She said, hoping to change the subject but Asad stuck on like a magnet.

"You still haven't answered."

She gasped before saying, "I...I thought you were just-just using me..." She said and burst into tears, shaking her head. Asad's anger bubbled up to the surface, but was soon replaced by his own guilt as he thought of all the times when he'd thought low of her. Asad gently placed a heavy hand on her shoulder, rubbing it with his thumb soothingly. She looked at him in surprise and confusion, he smiled at the ridiculous expression on her face.

"It's okay. I guess it was natural of you to think that. I'm sorry, if you thought that though. I never would've forgiven myself if I had lost you forever..." He said looking at his feet.

Aww he looks like a little schoolboy in punishment. Argh shut up Zoya! You're supposed to be crying!

Finally, she had gotten her old self back! And she loved him for it. Still being the stubborn child she was Zoya decided to irk him a bit, even though her face was tear-streaked.

"Oh really, what makes you think haven't already?" She said trying to act solemn. Her voice was still shaky from all the crying but she had a mischievous glint in her eyes, Asad had expertly caught on to her plans.

"Oh I don't know, maybe the fact that you're blushing so much right now." He said in a mocking voice, looking around the balcony.

"Am not!" She yelled, but covered her mouth with her hand as she heard Anwar's voice float in through the balcony door.

"Will y'all keep it down?!" He asked groggily.

"SORRY!!" She yelled even louder just to annoy him and burst into silent laughter. Asad stifled a chuckle too.

This was surely going to be one hell of a Christmas! AND New Year's!
