Zoya talking

Aapi talking

Asad talking

Teek hai ' Zeenat slowly replied glancing at Zoya and her sweet pout. Maybe she was just overreacting, but the pain in Zoya's eyes, just the thought of her little Zoya going through that kind of pain again, had her shudder. But looking into Zoya's eyes now, there wasn't even a small trace of pain, she only saw the same mischievous glint in her eye's so she decided to let it drop, for now.

Zoya watched her Appi's expression change from worry, then seeing her shudder and finally she seemed to be thinking over something.

Baar Zoya ek baat sach sach bata, yeh "Traditional clothes" kyoun- she said looking at her Zoya, while waiting for her reaction.

This will tell me if there's really something going on or if I'm just overreacting - Zeenat thought, not knowing that Zoya could read her way better then she could read Zoya.

Seeing Aapi's expression change, she knew she was up to something, her teasing though was not expected and the blush that followed when Zoya realized her second slip up, had her running out the door.

Allah Miya what's wrong with me ' she said running before the next round of question began from her Aapi and Phuphi, this time just so they could see her blush more and more and actually witness something very rare, Zoya going into her Mr. Khan's "woh aur actually" mode.

Seeing her run out of the room Mr. Khan went back inside and decided to talk to Zoya, the pain he had seen in her eyes gave him the courage he needed to take it all away the only way he knew, by telling her what she wanted to hear, what he wanted to say. Baar Zoya ki samne mera bolti hamesha band kyoun hojati hai.. - Asad thought scratching his head.

Both lost in their own thoughts, one having a conversation with her Allah Miya, the second one proud to finally have gathered enough courage to confess, didn't notice that they were walking towards each other, until they collided, making Zoya loose balance and fall right into the arms of Asad.

Asad was looking at Zoya shutting her eyes tightly and expecting to hit the ground, that never seemed to come, suddenly she opened her eyes only to get lost in his.

Slowly she forgot all about the pain of knowing she was a misfit, the pain of knowing that not only would her Mr. Khan never love her, he din't even find her worthy of anybody. But at that moment Zoya was on cloud nine far away from her reality, she was in the arms of her Mr. Khan and that was more than enough to make her forget the entire world.

In Asad's case, all of his courage and determination of telling her that he loved her went right out of the window after seeing her. He was back into his "woh aur actually" mode even before Zoya had opened her eyes.

Suddenly something broke behind them jerking both of them back to reality, Asad had been so lost in his thoughts that he forgot that they weren't alone and realizing that they had been caught he dropped Zoya right on to the floor, just to catch her right before she actually hit the ground.

Aap teek hai ms Farooqi ' He formally asked while helping her stand up straight.

Once out of her dream land, reality hit Zoya again, bringing with it more pain then before, if that was even possible. Looking down she mumbled a barely audible Jee before running of again.

Behind them in the kitchen a woman was picking up the broken pieces of a plate smiling to herself,

Are Zoya, tu toh abhi se toothne lagi, once I'm done with you, you'll be in worse condition than this plate, broken, inside out..

I think we all know who that manhoos at the end is, didn't feel the need to write out her name and ruin the end even more 😛 Yeah she's a part of this and before I give away my next part I'm gonna stop writing 😆😆

P.S. For PM's add me 😊
