Chapter 20

Hey Guys! What's up there. Sighs! Back after a long time, right? You can welcome me with you shoes or anything you want.

I am sorry!

And see, i have given you guys the longest chapter of this FF as a compensation. Now, you can wear your shoes back. 😃

Regarding Asya reunion : They will be back. I won't say immediately but definitely. 😉

Ok enough of my blabbering. Enjoy the update below :)

Asad was tossing and turning over his bed thinking about the last few days. How his life twisted in such a short span of time. He was so happy with Zoya in his life. But, a gush of wind and she was blown away. He wanted to scream, cry, shout, but he couldn't. Nothing, to get his Zoya back. Today, he had seen that happiness in her eyes after three long days. And he was more than thankful to Farroqui's for that. A beep beep sound of the cell phone brought him out of his reveries. He went through the new message and smiled a little. "I want to talk to you. Meet me at the terrace." Zoya had messaged. Maybe, maybe there still was a chance.

He sped up to the terrace as his heart had already gone wild with the thought of getting a chance to have a talk with Zoya after three long days. He was panting heavily when he reached the terrace and spotted Zoya sitting on the edge with her legs hung below. "Zoya" He whispered as he kept his trembling hand on her shoulder. She stood up after hearing his voice and the look in her eyes broke Asad's confidence, his determination of getting her back. She was back to what she had been in the last three days. And when she started speaking he wished he hadn't come. "Mr. Khan, I am trying to be cooperative here. I know it's very difficult for both of us to pretend everything's alright between us when everything between us is over. I cannot forget what I saw that day. It haunts me every single night. I thought of embracing the truth and moving ahead. But I can't do that as long as I see you around me. I can't move on as long as our families keep planning get together on the next opportunity available. So I have taken a decision. This would be helpful for both of us. You will get what you want ." He wanted to crush her into his chest and scream that all he wanted was her and nothing else. But his voice was stuck somewhere behind his throat. She continued. " You will get Tanveer." He let out a gasp full of shock. "Who the hell said you that I want Tanveer, Zoya? I don't want her. I don't love her. Hell, I don't even like her. I said you thousandth time Zoya, what happened that night was nothing but a misunderstanding. Tanveer was unconscious and I was not in my sense." "And you both took advantage of the situation. Ok, I believe Asad. You don't love Tanveer. But now you don't have the right to tell that you love me as well. If you had loved me you wouldn't have done that, not even in that state. Anyway leave it. I am here to tell you my decision and not to re-discuss the shits." And there she said, "I am going back to New York. For some years. Till I forget what we shared amongst us. And I know it's difficult to convince my parents. So we will tell them that we love each other but we don't want this love to come on the way of our future, our career. So we both decided to stay away from each other until we build our career. And you can reveal the truth once I fly to New York. Your wish!" And with that she turned on her heels and went downstairs, leaving behind a completely broken Asad. The decision she just gave him was too painful to accept. But he had to. For her. For himself. He wanted to see, if she could forget him her not. He instantly admitted that he wouldn't be able to do that. He loved her too much to forget her. And now it was his turn to test her love for him. She said she's going back for some years, right? So, he would wait until she gets back. He would wait for his love. And with that new determination he went back to his room. He was determined to get her back when he climbed up the terrace and he climbed down with the same determination. Only thing that changed within this short span of time was "time". Yes, some more time and he would get her back. He didn't cry that night. Crying would do nothing. He just wished that he had the remote of the earth so he could fast forward some years of his life.

Next day: Dining hall (Khan Mansion)

The entire family of Khan's and Farooqui's (including Humeira) were seated in the dining hall enjoying the lunch. Zoya had informed her parent's about Humeira and they had gladly accepted her as their daughter. Humeira had been so overwhelmed with their acceptance that she had hugged them tightly with tears freely flowing down her eyes. Zyan, however was irked with the decision made by his parents and had settled into the couch with a sad face. Later on when Zoya had asked what the matter is with Humeira staying with them, he had sadly replied that he would no more get his parent's attention with two daughter to show their affection at. The three ladies had awww'ed at his pouted face while his dad had literally rolled on the floor laughing at his son's displeasure. And now seated on the dining hall, the two girls were busy pulling Zyan's leg while Zyan was turning red in embarrassment.

Humeira : " Hey Hey Hey look at his face. He resembles someone right now, with his cheeks as red as...??"

"Tamatar" Aayan shouted earning oohs and aahs from the others while it was now Najma's turn to turn red.

Suddenly the atmosphere of the room turned serious with a single announcement made by Zoya, "I am going back to New York."

"What??" Everyone in the hall except Asad exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, I am going back to NY to complete my studies."

Zehan : " But why beta? It was your decision to continue your studies here right?"

Zoya : " Yeah, Dad. But then I changed my mind. Nothing more."

Zainab who was now pissed off by Zoya's childishness shouted, " Zoya, enough! Do you realize what you are saying? We left NY because it was you who wanted to continue your studies here in India. Your dad had to go through so much of losses to dissolve his company in NY. And your brother, who already is so weak in his studies, is changing his university, despite his willingness, just for you. And now all of a sudden you want to go back. A week back you were happy, and then suddenly you announce that you want to go back. Do you think all this is a joke? Don't you think you deserve an explanation? How can you be so irresponsible Zoe?"

Zoya was in tears by now. She was doing this for her family but then the table turned against her and she ended up hurting her family even more. Dilshad got up and consoled an angry Zainab.

Asad who was silently listening the outburst and at the same time ignoring the looks being given by Aayan, Najma, Humeira and Zyan thought of taking the matters in his hand.

"Aunty, Uncle. Listen to me now. You know how childish Zoya is. She just speaks without thinking. Actually it is true that she wants to go back. But I guess she is too shy to verbalize her reasons." He smiled at Zoya to which she gave a cold shrug. He looked straight to his parents, Uncle, Aunty and continued, "We love each other and want to get married." He said with a slight smirk. Zoya turned to face him with her eyes wide open. Where the hell did this marriage part come from? Even now he's taking benefit of my condition. Cheap guy! Her monologue was interrupted by the floods of queries that followed by. "What?" "You guys love each other?" "When did that happen?" "Isn't it too fast?" "How come we don't know?" "Are you serious about each other?" "And marriage?" "You haven't even completed you studies?" "What about you career?"

Asad, unable to take it all at once stood up and shouted, " Stop! Stop! Stop!"

When the hall came into silence he continued, "I will reply to all of your questions, but one by one. Okay than, Yes, we love each other. It happened way before. For me it was like love at first sight, I don't know about her. I fell for her the very first day I saw her in the university. Amongst the crowd I found her and marked her mine. So simple yet so beautiful. So much of attitude yet so much of love. So much of anger yet so much of care. You guys don't know because we are your children and children don't come simply to their parents and announce that they are in love. Yes, we are serious about each other. So serious that we have already decided the name of our kids. And here the most important question, career. Yes that is why Zoya had taken the step of going back to New York. We just want to stay away from each other till we build a career of our own. Till we build a better future of our own so that we can give all the happiness to our kids. That is why she is going back." He blew a sigh of relief on seeing the look of contentment in his as well as Zoya's parent's face and sat down.

Zoya, for a mere seconds looked at him with so much love in her eyes. Then again she couldn't forget what had happened between him and Tanveer. She wanted him solely, purely, and just for herself. She loved him so much that she couldn't forgive him for what had happened. She just couldn't. And what the f**k was he saying? Marriage? Kids? Their names? Gosh! She could swear, by the look at her parent's face that they had taken the marriage think seriously and moreover normally. Were they sure about it?

And what her dost said next cleared her doubt. " Dekha aap logo ne? I knew it. Way before. The way she was not leaving Asad's hand while you guys were moving to The States, compelled me to think about it. I had, deep inside thought about getting them married. But never did I think that they themselves would find their way to one another." This piece of information made Asad and Zoya look at each other for a moment. Zoya glared at him for making matters even more serious. While Asad just smiled at her.

Than once again the atmosphere turned serious and finally both Zainab and Zehan permitted Zoya to go back to NY. Staying in NY they had seen how kids these days took the relationships. They trusted their daughter and Asad. But still love these days meant much more than just an affection, concern, care and respect for the other.

After a week :

It was the day of Zoya's departure. Her flight was scheduled to 11 PM. Everyone looked sad especially Armaan, Ridz, Humzie, Najma, Aayan, Zyan. Eh, can Asad be forgotten? He was the one who was affected the much. After the night at caf, Asad as well as the other seven had stopped trying to stop Zoya from going back.

Flashback starts:

In the Caf:

Zoya : " Armaan, Ridz, I guess these guys have already filled both of you with what had happened in the dining hall. But you know..." Before she could speak further she was interrupted by the others.

Except Asad all of the friends: "Yes and congratulations." They squealed over wrong information.

Asad : "Guys. Guys!"

Armaan : "Thank god everything is solved between you guys. Warna hum toh dar hi gaye the. Patch up hogaya na aab? Smile guys."

Zoya : " Patch up??" Do they know about our relationship? Zoya was shocked.

Humzie : "Aapi, stop acting now. We knew that you guys were together since long time."

Zoya : "What? But how?" She looked at Asad demanding answers but he just shrugged.

Armaan: "You yourself told us. So don't look at Asad." He said as simple as that.

Zoya : "What? When? I don't remember telling you all?" She was shocked beyond limits.

Najma: "Zoe you remember the outing to our farmhouse after our exam? That night you revealed that you guys are together and you even kissed him in front of us."

"What am I listening to dear sissy?" Zyan who was listening everything silently till now spoke.

Zoya : "You shut up! And this guy (pointing at Asad) he didn't stop me, right? Oh! Why would he? Since when did my feelings matter to him?" She said, her voice cracking at the end.

Asad : "No, Zoya. You are taking me wrong again."

Zoya : "You always were one Asad." She shouted and turning to the others said, "And yeah we are not together anymore. Neither did we patch up. I am going back to NY so that I would not have to see his face every single day. And we are not getting married as well. It was just a plan to convince our parents. That's it." Tears were falling freely by the time she clarified everything to her friends. Unable to stay there any longer she stood up and left the place leaving behind six confused friends and an equally pained Asad.

After Zoya left the caf, everyone sat there in complete silence. Zyan was the first one to break the silence. "I guess I would want to know what had happened Asad. What did you do to my sister? I still remember she used to sound so happy while taking your name over phone that I was sure that my sister was in love with certain Asad Ahmed Khan. I want answers." He said with a hint of anger in his voice for the guy who had broken his sister beyond repair.

Asad, who was by now tired of hiding all his pain inside his heart thought of sharing it with his friends'. He said everything he knew. What had happened between him and Tanveer, Zoya's reaction to it, and how she called him yesterday and said her decision of leaving India for some years.

By the time he completed his part of story, everyone was in tears. They knew Asad would never hurt Zoya knowingly. "I know that bitch has done something. I am sure guys, she was always jealous of Asad and Zoya's togetherness. And trust me she can go to any limits to get what she wants. I know her since school time. She is a real bitch." Riddhima said once everything started getting in her senses.

"Yes. I am sure Asad. Tanveer might have done something. Why don't you go and talk to Zoya?" Armaan supported Riddhima as he too was well aware of who Tanveer really was.

"Leave it guys. I know that I am innocent. I didn't do anything. I thought that Zoya trusted me. She said that she loved me, right? But love is nothing without trust. I will certainly wait for her. I don't think I will be able to love anyone else ever in my life. But I want to see if she loved me truly or not. If she will be able to easily forget me and move on in her life or not. Even if she does, I won't question her. My happiness lies on hers." An emotionally exhausted Asad gave his perspective.

Zyan : "So, you mean to say, you will do nothing to get her back?"

Asad: "It's the test of our love. Let's see. And my heart says she will get back to me."

Armaan: "Asad, why are you being so adamant. Try to clear her misunderstandings. I know it would have been difficult for her to witness the scene, but she loved you truly and she will listen to you."

Zyan: "She won't. She is too stubborn in such cases. But.." Everyone looked at him." But I can assure you she will marry you."

Najma: "Are you crazy Zyan? She doesn't want to talk...forget talking, she doesn't want to look at bhaijaan's face and you think that she will marry him? Stupid logic."

Zyan: "Eh, don't question my logic beautiful lady. For your Information, she's my sister. And I know her more than anyone. Asad's her first boyfriend. She was one of the most popular girls in the school and used to receive proposals for date quite often. But she never gave a thought to one. And I bet, she will not date anyone ever again. The reason would be quite confusing hereafter. Maybe because of her disinterest in any other guys, her love for Asad, or may be the so-called betrayal' or whatever she refers it to."

Asad's hope was back in a large intensity. His determination was back. "Guys, I want her to go back. But don't worry, she is mine. I will get her back sooner or later. In these years of separation I will do everything, to make her realize my love for her. If she is stubborn, I am now adamant on getting her back."

The others were proud of their brother/friend. Zyan was happy for his sister. Asad was the one for her. And he would try his best to bring these two together.

Flashback ends

Asad was now in the airport bidding his final farewell to Zoya. Zoya's parents as well as Dilshad and Rashid had given him the responsibility of safely dropping Zoya to the airport. Zoya wanted all her friends to be there in the airport but they had played smart and faked something emergency at the eleventh hour. It wasn't like Zoya was unaware of her friends evil deeds but she could do nothing. She didn't want to hurt them anymore and hence had complied to their wishes and agreed with Asad accompanying her.

Asad : "So I guess, it's time to say goodbye. Stay happy Zoya. Don't stress yourself. Study well. And get back soon. Your parents, brother. Phoopi, dost, friends will be waiting for you. I will be waiting for you. (He added silently)"

Zoya : "Ummm...yeah, goodbye." She didn't speak further. Had she spoken she would have broken in front of Asad. And that was the last thing she wanted. She took the handle of her luggage from his hand and turned to enter the departure area.

After taking few steps she turned back hearing Asad call her name. "Zoya." He had whispered with so much of emotions that she couldn't help but look back. As soon as she did that, he ran to her and hugged her tightly, pouring all his frustration, anger, helplessness, love, concern in that one hug. She hugged him back. She couldn't resist it. "I will miss you Zoya. Miss you like hell. I haven't even given a thought to a life without you. I love you Zoya. Please don't go. I am sorry. I will make everything work between us. I can't live without you." And there, The Asad Ahmed Khan broke in front of his lady love. But then suddenly the warmth was gone. He felt empty. His Zoya was gone. When he looked ahead he found her running to her destiny (as she defined it) without daring to look back at him.
