Chapter 11

As soon as Asad and Zoya entered her room, Zoya fired one question after the other at Asad. She wanted to know everything that Anwar had told him and the lawyer.

Asad thought it was best to not tell her anything at the moment. It had already been very difficult to bring her out of her depression the last time and if she gets to know all this was happening because of her, even though indirectly, she would slip into the same state again. It's best to keep the truth from her, he thought.

"Calm down Zoya, calm down. Breathe, and I will answer all your questions."

"Calm down? How can I calm down? I am so worried for Jiju, I want to know everything. What did he tell you and what does the lawyer say about all this?"

"Jiju told the lawyer everything and the most important thing is that he's innocent. Our lawyer will get Jiju bailed out first thing in the morning tomorrow."

As soon as Zoya heard this she threw her arms around him and hugged him tight, burying her face in his chest. Asad initially was shocked but then wound his arms around her tiny waist pulling her closer and holding her tight against himself. Zoya sighed with relief feeling all the tension that she had been experiencing since morning evaporate. Asad felt her body relax against his and felt happy that she was relieved.

After a few minutes Zoya moved away from him and looked in his eyes "I don't know what we would have done without you Asad. I would have seriously gone crazy, not knowing what to do and where to go to get help for Jiju... You realize, we hardly know people around and... and no one is close enough that they would help us." She finished with moist eyes.

Asad cupped her face and with the same sincerity as he saw in her eyes, he said "I will always be there for you Zoya...Always... in the past few months that I have spent with you, you have become an important part of my life...I would do anything for you... And Aapi and Jiju are like my own... Aapi has proved to be the sister my Ammi has always wanted and now you all are family for us. Not just I, but Ammi and Najma would also do anything for this beautiful little family that we have got."

Asad gently stroked her cheeks to wipe away the tears that had cascaded down and shook his head telling her not to cry. He bent down a little and gently placed a kiss on her forehead. Zoya closed her eyes at the sensation his lips created in her body and subconsciously leaned into him, wrapping her arms around his waist and wanting to get close to him. Asad felt the changes in her body. He wanted to hold her close to himself and relish the feel of her body molding itself against his. He wanted to run his hands on her back feeling her body and try and memorize what it felt like against his. But his mind snapped him out of his thoughts and he realizes it was not the right time for him to give in to the built up emotions. He gently detangled himself from her hold "Zoya, we should go downstairs. We need to tell Aapi too that Jiju will be home tomorrow. But I also want you to stay away from Akram; Jiju has mentioned his name stating he could be behind all this."

Zoya looked at him in disbelief and then he saw her eyes burn with anger. She was almost about to run down the stairs and confront Akram when Asad held her arm to stop her. "Leave me Asad, I need answers from that man...how dare he do this to Jiju and then come along pretending he is concerned?" she gritted out.

"Listen to me Zoya; we don't want to tell him we know all this is his doing... We need to be patient so we don't alert him. We have to catch him absolutely unaware." Zoya saw logic in what he said. She took deep breaths to calm herself and then nodded her head in agreement. As soon as Asad and Zoya came down Akram looked at Asad with rage in his eyes which didn't go unnoticed by Zoya. She looked at Asad with confusion in her eyes and he gently pressed her hand assuring her that all was ok. He looked back at Akram with the same intensity and pulled Zoya closer to himself which she didn't resist. Akram felt his anger increasing so excused himself and left. As soon as he was out of the house Asad closed the door and told Zeenat what Anwar had told him about Akram, the ladies felt disgusted as he had looked so concerned and was there a few minutes ago talking to them as if he was a well-wisher. Asad didn't disclose anything about Zoya being the reason behind Akram's actions. He then told his Ammi and Zeenat that they will be staying there for the night as Anwar was concerned about Zeenat and Zoya's safety.

Dilshaad was to share Zeenat's room, Najma was to be in Zoya's room and Asad was given the guest room. After dinner everyone retired to their rooms as it had been a long day. The ladies drifted into sleep as soon as they hit their beds. Asad was the only one who could not sleep, or so he thought. The information on Akram played in his mind in a loop, the lust Asad had seen in his eyes for Zoya made his blood boil and there was no way Asad was going to sleep peacefully until that man was put behind bars. He got up as sleep was far away from him. He paced his room not knowing what to do. He wanted to go out to the garden but then dropped the idea so as to avoid disturbing the others in the house. A little while later Asad heard the sound of a door shutting and was alerted immediately.

He peeked out of his room cautiously not wanting to alert whoever was there. He quietly moved towards the living room from where the noise was coming. He had just come through the door and his eyes widened and he smiled as he saw Zoya looking through the cabinets in the kitchen. He walked upto her quietly and tapped her shoulder. Zoya almost shrieked in horror as she didn't hear anyone walk up behind her. Asad quickly covered her mouth with his hand and whispered

"Shhh Zoya, it's me."

As soon as she heard his voice she relaxed and had almost leaned against him when she realized what she was about to do and she straightened. She held his hand that still covered her mouth and removed it.

"Allah, Asad you scared me. I didn't expect anyone to be awake." She said placing a hand over her heart which was still beating fast due to the shock.

"Me too Zoya, you scared me too. I didn't expect anyone to be awake either." He chuckled. Then in a serious tone he continued "I thought we had company..." Zoya looked at him puzzled "I mean unwanted company. By the way what are you doing here?"

"I was looking for my mid night snack" she smiled at him "and you?"

"I came because I heard some noises from here, though I wouldn't mind a bite too."

Both collected their snack plates and headed to the terrace. Once settled they dug into their plates not talking much. After a long time of just sitting side by side Zoya looked at him, he was in deep thought. She touched his shoulder to gain his attention. "Thank you" she whispered.

"What was that for Zoya?"

"For everything... For being there when I was at my weakest, for accepting me with all my flaws, for being the true friend that you are, for considering me as your own and for treating my family as if they are your family. For everything." She completed in a soft voice.

Asad held her hand in his "Zoya you make it all sound like I have done you a favor..." he thought for a few moments and with a glint of mischief continued "I hope you know how to repay a favor?" she shook her head from side to side in negative "With a bigger favor." Asad chuckled and gently touched the tip of her nose with his other hand.

"So what's the BIGGER favor that you want from me?" she asked animatedly widening her arms and eyes.

Asad smiled at her cute actions "I'll let you know, when the time is right...or when I need one." Zoya flashed her dimples at him and the two decided to get some sleep as neither had noticed that it was past 2 in the night now and they all had to getup early.

As soon as the sun rose, it brought with it total chaos in the Farookhi household. Zeenat was going crazy with the preparations as Anwar was to return home. All were amazed at the kind of energy that she had and the extent to which she was preparing for him. She had cleaned the house spick n span and had even spread fresh linen in the rooms and had changed the setup of the living room too and nobody got any prizes for guessing the menu for the day, it was all of Anwar's favorite dishes. Dilshaad looked at Zoya with shock and Zoya just shrugged her shoulders and the two laughed, good naturedly at Zeenat.

All the arrangements were complete as Zeenat, Zoya Dilshaad and Najma were waiting for Anwar to return home. Asad was at the station along with the lawyer to complete the paperwork and to bring Anwar back home. It was almost noon when the door bell rang and Zeenat ran to open the door.

As soon as Zeenat saw Anwar she threw herself in his arms and hugged him tightly crying. She had never in her life imagined that they would have to see days like these too. She had tried to be strong all of the last 24 hours but the sight of her husband was just too much for her so she let her tears flow freely. Anwar held her close to himself allowing her pent up emotions flow out of her eyes. He whispered soothing words to her and it was a matter of a few minutes when Zeenat calmed down. As soon as Anwar entered the house he was shocked to see the extent of preparations that were done.

"Who did all this?" he asked Zeenat.

"I did it of course." She said still wiping her tears and a smile on her lips.

"Why? Was I returning home after winning a battle?"

That was all it took for Zoya, Dilshaad and Najma and the three burst out laughing at Zeenat's expression.

"That's what we have been wondering Jiju but Aapi just wasn't listening. Ammi and Zoya tried but..." Najma trailed off.

Zeenat glared at all of them and then pouted. Anwar saw her expression and then pulled her into a side hug and said "No matter how exaggerated it all looks, I'm happy to be home with my family." Soon lunch was laid and they all discussed their plan of action to get Akram arrested. Anwar looked at Asad and they shared a knowing look to keep the truth behind Akram's actions from all the ladies.

The next few days passed in a blur for Asad and Anwar. They were with the lawyer all the time gathering information and evidence against Akram. The ladies were kept updated by them. It had been more than a week that Asad and Zoya had met or talked properly on the phone. Zoya knew how busy he was with her Jiju's case and so had dropped the idea of meeting him in his office knowing he was spending extra hours to keep his work on track too. She felt blessed to have found a friend like him. But lately Zeenat had seen a change in her behavior. Zoya was getting cranky like a small kid. She would snap at the drop of a hat and sometimes would be locked in her room for hours. Zeenat knew this was all because of the change in Asad's schedule and the less time that the two were spending together.

Zeenat told Dilshaad about the mood swings that Zoya was suffering from. Dilshaad was happy to hear that Zoya also had feelings for Asad, though the young lady was either not aware of them or was trying to ignore them. Here Asad was no less he was also missing Zoya terribly and wanted to spend some quality time with her. But he knew that the hearing for the case would start in another week so he just couldn't takeout time. He was happy though that he would get to see her at the court. He had planned to occupy the seat next to hers, firstly so he could be close to her for whatever time they were at the court and secondly Akram would also be there and he wanted to be as close to her as possible so Akram knew Zoya was his.
