"Yes, you are looking great now please come down or you will be late for your own ceremony.." Humaira whined and I just sighed at her behavior, she is such a kid sometimes, I mean I can hardly believe she is pursuing her graduation, well looking at her behavior who would? Today is a very important day of my life, I am getting my doctorate and finally I will be Dr. Zoya Far.. Uh no I would be Dr. Zoya Asad Ahmad Khan and a smiled rose up to my lips..
I so wish he could be here for my big day but he isn't and I have to keep calm about it.. Well I miss all of them just not him, Mom, Ayaan and Najma they all were so excited when I called them last night they too wished to be there but thanks to Humaira she told them they will be watching my whole convocation via video call, well yaay technology..
"All Ready for today?" Abbu asked patting my head and I grinned widely, of course I am. In fact I have been ready for this moment since as long as I decided to do PHD and now finally the moment is here.. "You have really made us so proud dear.." Ammi kissed my forehead and I tackle them all in a family hug.. I would be nothing if they all were not there for me and have not supported me in every stage of my life... I owe them big time.. And most of all I owe to my almighty, who has been there with me through thick and thin, guiding me to the right path and whatever I am today is just due to Allah.. Shukran!!
We arrived at our college which was quite full today.. As it was a convocation for almost all the courses. So many kids are going to get their dream degrees and from here a new phase of their life will get started just like me.. I was busy in my own world when ringing of my phone brought me back to earth.. It was Ayaan, Asad hasn't called me today and I wonder does he forget that today is my big day? Or he just simply don't care..
Ayaan- Assalamoalaikum Bhabhi
Zoya - Walekum Assalam Ayaan, how are you all?
Ayaan - We are perfectly good, so all ready for your big day, You reached there?
Zoya - Yeah we are at college, it's going to start soon..
Ayaan - fine then please handover the cell to Humaira, I am going to video call.. everyone here is as excited as you.. And all the very best
Zoya - Thank you, I miss you gyz.. I have to go now..
I disconnected the call and pass over my Phone to Zoya, maybe Asad is with them. Yes he sure is, Ayaan said everyone here is excited and everyone does include my husband.. I helped my family to find sitting arrangements and once they were settled down, I went where all the student's were seated. "Welcome everyone to this year's convocation ceremony.. I hope you all the parent's are excited as their Kids for finally receiving their hard work in a form of degree.."
The Anchor started the program and I kept sitting there with a nervousness plus excitement filled heart.. The only drawback that my husband isn't here to celebrate this moment with me.. And I do not have to deny the fact that I miss him so bad.. I hope you come soon Asad and I hope we can go back to our home soon.. I miss Ahmad Villa, I miss our room and I miss every single thing about our house.. Yes our how funny that finally I have accepted it as my own house..
"And now, I want to invite Dr. Zoya Farooqui to come here and receive her degree and also she has been the top student among all.. So A round of applause for her.." The moment my name was called I felt numb, I can't believe I am the top student, hell I can't believe I am even getting my degree...Alhamdulillah it's such a good day.. I stood up from my seat and with nervous steps walk towards the stage, I could hear claps and hoots along with my name and a sense of gratitude washed in me. But the Anchor has taken a wrong name and so I decided to correct it..
"So very Sorry everyone my mistake, It's not Zoya Farooqui, It's Dr. Zoya Asad Ahmad Khan.. A very proud moment for the Nawab's today.." Everyone gave me a soft smile and soon my certs were handover to me.. I collect them with a smile and stayed back for a minute to get a picture and soon the other person's name was called and that was my que to get down from the stage.. I had many scenarios in my mind about what will happen when I will receive my doctorate but none of them matched the scene that I witnessed when I actually came down..
There stood in his all handsome glory clad in black suit with ruffled hair and a tiring but charming smile on his face, my husband Asad Ahmad Khan.. He looked so tired and rough that it seems he has directly came here after a long flight.. I couldn't believe my eyes so just to confirm my suspicion I quietly pinched my arm and that didn't get unnoticed by Asad who chuckled lightly making me confirm his appearance..
And without another thought in my mind I just ran towards him and jumped in his arm almost making both of us fall on the ground but thank goodness to his strong arms, he didn't let us fall.. We stood there hugging each other don't know for how long.. He smells so good that I just want to cling on to him and sniff him all day.. "I missed you.." no these weren't my words, Yes I sure was dying to say that to him but this time he beat me to it.. It's his confession and the smile on my face right now was way bigger that it almost hurts my jaws.. "I missed you too.." And I could feel him placing a kiss on top of my hair, I snuggled closer to him.. This is my peace, my own heaven..
"Okay so you gyz want us to leave? Well we can do that. Once you both are done you can join us back at home.." I heard Humaira's teasing voice and immediately got separated from him.. My parent's were looking at us with Amused smiles and just like me he too look flushed with embarrassment.. Ya Allah, how stupid of both of us.. "No, no let's just get home, I am really tired.." And with that we all started moving outside, the convocation was over.. "So how do you like the surprise?" Humaira whispered in my ear.
"You knew it?" I asked shocked and she just rolled her eyes. "Of course I knew it, even I was the one who decided that we will not tell you about his arrival and will just surprise you and See how happy you are.." And I quickly thanked her for that, well this is the best surprise someone could have ever arranged for me.. I totally loved it...
