Chapter 11

It was evening and Zoya was sitting at the swing at Asad's residence with so many thoughts bustling in her head.

"Asad is definitely hiding something from me. Otherwise these sudden outbursts...shocks and such...but how do I find it out???

Just then Zoya heard the doorbell ring. She got up and walked to the door and opened with a smile, but her smile vanished suddenly looking at Rashid at the door.

"Hi!! Hope you are not so good!!"

Saying so, Rashid entered the flat, while Zoya just turned back at him with a frowned look and walked to him.

"Purpose of your visit??" Zoya asked with her hands folded, while Rashid smirked at her.

"Attitude!! Nice...staying in my son's home and this much dominance!!"

"If you don't remember, your son is my husband!!"

"Unfortunately!!"

"True...unfortunately he is your son!!"

Rashid gave a slight giggle and looked at her, "Don't you think this arrogance towards me is a bit too much for your status??"

"Not at all...after all I am sharing your surname yeah??"

"Ohh yeah...!!" Rashid said and walked towards the bar counter, while Zoya looked at him with a short smile.

"By the way Zoya...do you remember why you left Asad the last time??"

Zoya raised her eyebrows, while Rashid turned back at her, "The reason why you left Asad...remember??"

"If I do...so??"

"Did you guess that I can use it against you now also??"

Zoya unfolded her hands and looked at Rashid with a puzzled look, while Rashid walked towards Zoya.

"Tell me Zoya...are you okay with me releasing that final trump card out to the world?? Or are you willing to move out??"

Zoya looked down in thoughts, while Rashid gave an evil smile.

"Is your lovely husband's image and reputation important...or you living with him?? Tell me Zoya...it's your call...should I do it or not??"

Zoya started letting out a small giggle and laughed looking at Rashid, confusing him.

"Go ahead Sasurji!!' Zoya said with a smile.

"What?? You think I won't do it??" Rashid asked staring at her.

"You must not do it actually...it will tarnish your image!!" Zoya said, while Rashid looked at her with a confused look, "Sasurji, if you didn't forget, the whole media knows about the drama which Asad had created in front of your house...and now if you release your trump card, I will release another controversy that...in order to take revenge for the insult that day, Produces Rashid Ahmed Khan has produced forged materials to the world against his only son Asad Ahmed Khan!!"

Rashid looked aside and thought about that, while Zoya sat at the sofa over there and looked at Rashid.

"You can't do a thing to Asad till I am there!! And I also strongly believe that Aditi's influence in mine and Asad's life was also because of you only. I don't know if Asad knows that, but I do!!"

Rashid smiled hearing it, while Zoya stood up and walked to him and said, "I will find out Aditi and soon expose all your reality in front of the world!! Mark my words Mr. Rashid Ahmed Khan!! Your son itself will help me do that!!" Zoya said snapping her fingers, facing Rashid with glaring eyes.

Rashid laughed hearing it, "Hahahaa...I am sorry to shatter your confidence Zoya, but Asad will never let you search Aditi too, let alone bring her to me!!"

Zoya had a confused look, while Rashid came near her, "You will never be able to do it, and Asad will never ever support this act of yours!! I bet you!!"

Saying so, Rashid wore back his shades and walked out of the flat, while Zoya looked at the door with thoughts.

"What did he mean by that?? Why Asad won't support me??" Zoya wondered.

***

At Imraan's Residence,

"Why are you leaving so early??" Imraan asked draped in his duvet at his bed, looking at Tanveer brushing her hair.

"I am meeting Asad for dinner today. That's why!!" Tanveer said looking at Imraan through the mirror.

"Ohhh..." Imraan took off his duvet and lifted his shirt from the side and looked at Tanveer with a displeased look, "I always become the leftover when it comes to Asad yeah??"

Tanveer turned and looked at him with a smile and walked towards Imraan and caught him by the collar, "Darling, you know why I am with Asad right??"

Tanveer buttoned up his shirt while Imraan said, "At times I feel your acting is genuine too...that you want to marry Asad and live with him."

Tanveer wrapped her hands around Imraan and said with a smile, "Imraan, don't act like a kid. You know I love you a lot...otherwise why would I spent time with you like this whenever possible?? Haan??"

"But that's all secretive nah?? What's special about it??" Imraan said moving away her hands and took his watch from the bedside drawer. Tanveer slanted along the table and giggled.

"Well...maybe if you die all of a sudden, I might focus fully on Asad!!" Tanveer said and laughed while Imraan stared at her and said, "Seems like you only will kill me now to make your life easier, who knows!"

"Immy, just as we planned...Asad and Zoya will be permanently separated, I will marry Asad...will finish him off...and then Imraan and Tanveer's wedding...okay??"

"I guess I would be a ghost by then" Imraan said with a light smile and suddenly thought about something, "But before that I need to get Zoya...only then our plan will be easy...but she has settled with Asad itself!!"

"That's because of you only right??" Tanveer said and walked out to the kitchen, while Imraan followed her, "But who on earth knew Asad would land there like Krrish??"

Tanveer laughed hearing that and made herself a drink, while Imraan added, "I am serious Tannu. Till Zoya is at Asad's home, not me, Asad wouldn't let my breath too reach Zoya...he is like an electrical fence...try to cross him and approach Zoya...you are burnt to ashes!!"

"Lol...who in this industry doesn't know about Asad's possessiveness towards Zoya" Tanveer said while her face turned angry as she spoke, "Asad won't touch a girl other than Zoya...nor a guy's sight will touch Zoya except for Asad...the only guys in Zoya's life are Asad, Asad, Asad...this is what he tells right!!"

Imraan gritted his teeth hearing that, while Tanveer banged her glass on the table, "But how Imraan??? How did she land back with Asad after all that we did!! I mean...everything was perfect right...Aditi coming to Asad's home in Zoya's absence...Aditi drugging Asad...Zoya seeing Asad with Aditi in hers and Asad's private room in such a state...Zoya left Asad too citing permanent goodbye to him!!"

"Then how the hell did she come back and agree to act with Asad?? And...and staying with him in the same house...how that can happen???" Imraan kicked the wall in anger.

"That too after Rashid Sir blackmailed her with the video footage taken from that room threatening to send it to media portraying it to be sent from Zoya herself!! That's the reason she left and we were sure that she wouldn't return...but something has happened...something's wrong Imraan...someone is strongly supporting her...Imraan, you have to act quick...the only way to shatter her confidence of living as Zoya Asad Ahmed Khan is polluting that identity..."

Tanveer looked at Imraan and said him intensely, "This time I want you to plan it properly...there must be no compulsion...no force...no violence...but she has to fall in your trap!! Let me see...how Zoya will live with Asad after no longer being his Zoya!!"

Imraan nodded his head while Tanveer added, "When I could kill her child through Asad's hands itself, killing her isn't a big task for me!!"

"What??" Imraan looked at her in shock and he came to her, "Asad killed Zoya's child? What do you mean??"

Tanveer smirked as she bent slightly towards the bar counter, "That's one of the examples of my extraordinary skill Imraan. It's true...Asad himself poisoned his pregnant wife and killed their kid...he bought a box full of Ghari for his beloved Gujarati wife...and fed it with his own hands to her...but little did my darling Asad know that the sweets didn't leave my home the same way it did while it reached my home!!"

Imraan listened intently to Tanveer with eyes open, while Tanveer said, "Asad had bought fresh Ghari for Zoya...but I added my love and affection too in that unknowing to Asad...Asad had already had an argument with Zoya for being careless as he was worried that Haunted Love couldn't be started, because Haunted Love was a tailor made script for Zoya...Asad even spilled a few words that he doesn't want that kid that time and he knows what to do..."

Tanveer walked past Imraan as she continued, "But in his heart he felt bad for it and came and said it to me...that he is actually happy that Zoya is pregnant and even I said him that a child is the beginning of a new bright future...so in order to pacify his beloved wife, Asad went home with Zoya's favorite sweets and fed it with his own hands to her...and then you know what happened!!"

"Zoya thought that Asad had done it..." Imraan completed the story, while he gave an unbelievable look, "Tannu, don't you think...you are actually...betraying Asad's trust in you??"

"Hahahaaa" Tanveer burst out laughing, "Look who's talking about betrayal!! You have never betrayed anyone Imraan??"

Imraan looked away while Tanveer took her purse and car keys, and said, "In fact no stupid will date you after knowing all your past...so it's better if you are quiet!!"

Imraan folded his hands and looked away hearing it, while Tanveer walked out of the house.

Just then the telephone started ringing and Imraan picked it up with a dull face.

"Yeah...??"

"Imraan...Zoya this side!!"

Imraan opened his eyes wide hearing it and looked back at his receiver and had a wide smile.

"Zo-Zoya???"

"Listen Imraan...I don't wanna beat about the bush...looking at your tears, I don't think you are lying anymore" Zoya said on phone sitting at her living room, "Let's begin over a new leaf. I will talk to Asad about this. I will meet you at your home tonight at 9 for dinner...we will discuss, okay??"

"Sure Zoya...I will be waiting!!" Imraan said and cut the call. "Yes!! Yes!! Yes!! The moment I was waiting for!!" Imraan smiled, "Tonight is my day!! Come soon Zoya...I am waiting!!"

Zoya put the receiver down, and Asad entered the house, calling out Zoya, while she came down from upstairs, whereas black finger prints appeared on the phone receiver.

"Hey..." Zoya said while Asad said with a plain look, "Tanveer is coming home tonight for dinner...be ready!"

"Ohhh...but I too have to go out..."

Before Zoya could complete her sentence, Asad walked inside, while Zoya lifted both her hands in amusement.

"Don't tell me he is still upset with today's dialogue incident!" Zoya said to herself and followed him upstairs, while the seated impression in the sofa lifted up and a shadow moved from the sofa.

***

Asad was sitting at his bed recalling those dialogues and was pressing his forehead.

"You don't look good when you are tensed!!"

Asad looked at the door and saw Zoya standing with a smile. He just looked down again in thoughts.

"Asad, I don't like to see you in tension like this...that too when I am there...when will you realize that when I am there, you have no reason to get worried??"

Asad looked up at her listening that, while Zoya walked towards the shelf in his room and rotated the showpiece over there.

"I know something is bothering you...but I am always there to relive you off that. After all I love you so much Asad!!"

Asad stood up hearing that and looked at Zoya with a light smile in his eyes and he walked towards her in short steps.

"You...you mean that Zoya??" Asad asked with a sense of pleasant shock.

"Yes Asad!" Zoya said with a smile, "I love you so much and will never leave your side...I will always be with you as a shadow...I will never separate myself from you...I will not even let you forget me...I will always be there with you Asad!!"

Asad smiled heartily and he said, "I...I don't know how to...Zoya...this is what I always...I always wanted to..."

"Whom are you talking to, Asad???"

Asad turned back at the door and his smile vanished in a second looking at Zoya standing at the door with a coffee cup and full of amusement in her face.

Asad's heart started thumping loudly as he turned back at the front and found just the shelf in front of him, and he moved back in a huff and fell back on the bed.

"Asad??"

Zoya placed the coffee cup on the nearby table and rushed to Asad.

"What happened Asad??" Zoya asked placing her hand on his shoulder, while Asad pushed Zoya's hand in horror. Zoya didn't understand anything and she sat next to him and held his face in her hands and tried to stabilize Asad.

"Asad...relax...it's me...Zoya!!! Relax!!!"

Asad held her hands and concluded that this was Zoya indeed and looked again at the place where he saw the premonition of Zoya.

Zoya walked up to the side drawer and poured a glass of water for Asad and sat next to him, handing over the glass.

"Have some water, Asad!"

Asad took the glass and then looked at Zoya, "You are...you are coming ju-just now??"

"Yeah, I thought of getting you a glass of black coffee, and chill you out. But when I came...you were talking alone...what's wrong??"

Asad held the glass of water while he recalled the conversation which happened just then.

"...I love you so much and will never leave your side...I will always be with you as a shadow...I will never separate myself from you...I will not even let you forget me...I will always be there with you Asad!!"

"It's...it's her...!!!" Asad whispered to himself, while Zoya seemed confused.

"Her...who??" Zoya asked, while Asad looked at Zoya, "She is doing all this and..."

Asad stopped the sentence mid-way and got up from the bed, while Zoya too got up and walked to him.

"Who is doing all this??" Zoya was keen on knowing what was running in Asad's mind.

"No one...nothing..." Asad managed to divert the topic and took the towel and looked at Zoya, "I will go have a shower...then we will have dinner..."

Before Zoya could say anything Asad went inside the washroom and locked the door.

"Why isn't he telling me anything clearly??" Zoya wondered with an agitated look, "What's the problem in sharing with me?? Why does Asad always run away from the point??"

Zoya took her phone, dialed someone's number and walked away from Asad's room.

***

It was night and Imraan was getting ready in his bedroom applying his cologne and perfume. As he was looking at the mirror and brushing his hair, he said to his reflection, "Tonight is just the time for you, Imraan!! Zoya will not leave this house, without satisfying my wish!!"

Imraan opened his drawer and took out a sachet and gave an evil smile looking at it.

"Come soon Zoya...I can't wait anymore!!!"

Just then the doorbell rang and Imraan ran towards the door with a wide smile, and opened the door.

He was spellbound looking at Zoya in a stunning red silk top and a blue jeans, with her hair brushed and curled.

"Hi Imraan!!!" Zoya said with a sultry smile.

Imraan didn't know how to overcome all these high dose shocks at once and just smiled at her.

"H...hi!!"

"You won't ask me to come in, Imraan??" Zoya asked in a husky tone.

"Ohh...I...I am sorry...come...in!!!"

Imraan moved inside while Zoya walked inside and looked around, while Imraan locked the door and walked towards her.

"Hope I didn't make you wait for long!!" Zoya said with a smile at Imraan.

"No...no Zoya...and...I can wait for you forever...!!" Imraan said and placed his hand on Zoya's shoulder, while Zoya looked at his hand with a stare and looked back at Imraan.

"Uhh..." Imraan took his hand off, while Zoya held his hand and smiled at him, "You know what Imraan...I actually came here to personally apologize to you for that night..."

Zoya held his hand with both her hands and said looking at him, "Actually...it's not that I was having a problem with you...just that...you came suddenly and unexpectedly...and when Asad too came...I didn't have an option...if you had expressed your desire before itself, I myself would have invited you home...!!"

Imraan's joy knew no bounds..."Are you...Oh My God...Zoya, are you serious???"

Zoya smiled and moved close to Imraan and said, "Yes Imraan...I am serious...the day I saw Asad with Aditi...I lost all my love for him...and since then I always thought of being with the one who loved me sincerely...you Imraan!!"

Imraan was spellbound listening to all those, while Zoya said in a low tone, "Tonight, I have come to fulfil my longing wish...I have come to get what I had been longing for!!"

Imraan smiled his heart out, and as he proceeded for a hug, Zoya stopped him and said, "What's the hurry, Imraan?? The whole night is ours...but before that won't you get me something to drink??"

"Why...why not??"

Imraan took Zoya to the dining setup in the kitchen and Zoya sat in the chair over there, while Imraan asked "Cool drinks??"

Zoya moved back her hair, and said, "Avocado!!"

Imraan nodded his head and walked to the fridge with a smile and opened the door, while he stopped suddenly, as something stroke his mind. He turned behind slowly and looked at Zoya sitting with head bent down and playing with the cutlery, and noticed a snake tattoo on the right side of her nape, with a cursive A on top of it. Imraan turned back in the front, recalling with horror that it was exactly the same tattoo on Aditi's right nape. With the water bottle in his hand, he turned back sweating profusely and looked at Zoya.

"Zo...Zo"ya..??" Zoya didn't lift her head and was tapping the cutlery knife on the floor, with her hair falling in the front. He walked near her with short steps and called her again, and placed his hand on her shoulder, while Zoya lifted her head in a swift, and Imraan dropped the bottle on the floor and jumped back in horror.

Imraan was horrified to find a blood shed gruel-some face of Zoya, and Zoya strangled his neck hard and pinned him against the wall. Imraan started choking badly, and took a knife from the side and pierced it hard on Zoya's chest but to his surprise that knife moved through her body.

"You are so thirsty aren't you??? Come, have me now!!!" Zoya said in a harsh and horrific voice, while blood started dripping out of Imraan's neck as the long nails of her hand pierced his neck.

Imraan cried in pain and tried to push back Zoya, while Zoya's hold strengthened with each second.

"You were eager to touch me right...why are you pushing me away now?? Haan???" Zoya asked while she banged his head on the wall a multiple times and brought his face closer to hers, "Remember...you too gave me a sense of happiness and hope in a similar way...remember??"

Imraan looked at her with a confused face hearing that, and asked in a choking tone, "Who...are...you...??"

"Look at me closely..." Zoya said in a horrific voice, and Imraan was horrified looking at the changeover of Zoya.

***

On the other hand, Tanveer was standing at the balcony of Asad's Residence, with Asad.

"Where is Zoya, Asad? Where has she gone??" Tanveer asked, while secretly happy inside that Zoya was not at home.

"She has gone to meet some friend of hers...she has come from California it seems...so..."

"Ohhh...okay!!" Tanveer looked down at the scenery, while Asad was still tensed about the incident which happened during shoot and which happened in his room.

"So Asad, when are my scenes gonna be shot??"

Asad was standing without giving any response, while Tanveer shook Asad by his hand and Asad looked at her with a jerk.

"Yeah?? You...you asked me something Tannu??"

"Yeah...but that isn't important...what is bothering you Asad??"

Asad just looked at her and walked along the rail at the other edge of the balcony.

"Hmmm...Asad is tensed...this is the right time to brainwash him Tannu!!" Tanveer thought in her mind and walked towards him with an evil smile.

"Asad, you know what I personally feel, after bringing back Zoya, you are more stressed out and agitated." Tanveer said, while Asad looked at her.

"Maybe seeing her every day at shoot and moreover at home, I mean...I understand...living with someone with whom we don't have a good relationship is a pain and here..."

Asad interrupted, "No Tannu...Nothing as you think, and my tension is not regarding to Zoya. In fact I am feeling bad that I get angry at her for my tensions."

Tanveer's face reddened hearing it, while Asad said with a slight smile "Actually speaking, Zoya is my stressbuster these days. I am happy that she is with me these days 24/7!!"

Tanveer clutched the balcony railing hard, and looked at Asad furiously and went to the bar counter and rolled her eyes venting out her frustration. She made a strong drink for Asad and came back to him and asked with an innocent look hiding her anger, "But...but she just shares a professional relationship with you yeah?? How then...stress buster...??"

Tanveer extended the glass to him while Asad smiled and looked at her, "Well...a relationship which I want...that much details only you will get!!" Asad winked at her saying that and before walking inside said her, "By the way, I don't drink now...Zoya doesn't like it!!"

Asad walked inside, while Tanveer looked out with burning eyes and gulped the drink in a shot, and clasped the glass hard and said in a low tone, "No more waiting...time for attack!!"

Tanveer kicked the balcony railing with her leg, in frustration.

***

The doorbell rang at Asad's home and Asad saw Ayaan with a cover in his hand.

"Hi!!! Late night visit Ayaan??" Asad asked and hugged him, while Ayaan handed over the cover to him, "Here are some Gujarati sweets for Zoya...she only called me to drop by your home at night!!"

"Ohhh...but she hasn't returned yet, Ayaan. Do one thing, just wait here while I clear the table. Tanveer left home just some time back after dinner."

Asad walked inside with the cover, while Ayaan asked him with a bewildered look, "Zoya...Zoya is not at home??"

"No...she said she is going to meet some friend from California...she might return in some time probably...actually we had a passive bad mood...have to pacify her once she's back you know..."

Asad said with a smile and walked inside, while Ayaan was confused and wondered.

"But...Zoya only said me to cancel our meeting plan and meet her at home citing Asad is in a bad mood and we must be here to cheer him up yeah?? Then where did she go lying to Asad???"

"Ayaan, can you do me a favour??" Asad asked while Ayaan was lost in thoughts.

"Ayaan???" Asad called out a bit more louder, and Ayaan turned at him.

"Yeah???"

"All okay??" Asad asked, while Ayaan nodded his head with a smile.

"Ayaan, I actually got a gift for Zoya to give it to her tonight...as she was pissed off while leaving home. But Tanveer reached home and I forgot to take it from my car. Can you go and get it from my car, while I arrange for food??"

"Yeah sure!!" Ayaan said and took the keys from Asad and walked out.

***

After some time, the doorbell at Asad's home rang continuously.

Asad walked towards the door expecting Ayaan, but was petrified to find a disheveled and badly injured Imraan with blood all over his face.

"Imraan???"

"I...I don't...have...much...ti-me...with...me..."

"What are you saying?? What's wrong with you??"

Imraan barged inside Asad's flat and winced in pain. He walked towards the wall and wrote something on the wall with the blood in his hand.

"SHE GOT ME...SHE WILL GET YOU TOO...!!!"

Asad was horrified reading that, while Imraan walked towards the balcony and Asad stopped him.

"What...what do you mean by this...??? Haan??" Asad asked trying to get Imraan focused into him, while Imraan said with half open eyes, "Save...yourself...and Zo-ya...from her...other than you...and Zoya...there is one more person...living in this house...!!!"

Asad left hold of Imraan hearing that, while Imraan barged to the balcony and Asad rushed behind him.

"Imraan, what are you doing??"

Imraan held the rail and turned back at Asad, "She won't spare me...!!!"

Imraan jumped off the rail and Asad ran towards the rail and screamed in horror, "Imraaan!!!!!!!"

Imraan fell on the car which had just then reached the building, with the windows of the car shattering in pieces.

Zoya jumped out of the car and looking at a dead Imraan lying on the bonnet of her car, screamed at the top of her voice, eventually falling unconscious, while all the people from the building came out running, surrounding the car.
