Asad Ahmad khan Heir of Khan enterprises. His family is a big name in Shimla. His father had just not earned a lot of money but also the respect of the people before joining Allah in heaven. Asad loves his family, his loving...
Days passed by in a blur, Asad and I both busy in our work.. He joined office again and without Mom here, his workload was hiked.. Sometimes he come too late from office that I already doze off waiting for him.. I have also joined the college as a lecturer.. Asad himself applied on my behalf and was the most happy when I got selected.. Life is never been this good before.. Shukran Allah..
Asad and I have also been working silently on getting this marriage work.. We make small talks every now and then and always eats the breakfast and sometimes dinner together in the house.. We were sleeping on the same bed and all and all we were living like every normal couple and I can't be any more happy about it.. Mom's condition was getting better every day and finally doctor has given us a real hope that there are high chances of her getting cured and get rid of this disease.. Asad's been more happy since than and so was I.. We all need Mom in our life and we were not ready to let her go yet..
I was done with the last lecture of the day and it was time to go home finally... It was a difficult task to handle teenagers, Allah knows where this generation was leading and I really get worked up teaching them.. But it's been my dream job since as long as I remember so I have to suck it up.. Before I could dash out of my room after all the packing my phone ringed and face of dear husband flashed on my screen making me smile..
Zoya - Assalamoalaikum
Asad - Walekum Assalam where are you?
Zoya - I am at college just packing up and leaving. Why?
Asad - Fine go home and take some rest, we have a dinner party to attend tonight..
Zoya - Dinner?
I asked confused. What party is he talking about?
Asad - Yes Zoya, Dinner.. A client is hosting a party on the occasion of their 25th anniversary and we have to go.. He is one of our very important client.. So go home take some rest, freshen up and get ready by 7:30 and also take out my clothes.. Allah Hafiz
Zoya - Allah Hafiz
With that the phone got disconnected and a nervous feeling settled inside my stomach.. I have never gone out with Asad before and Mom is also not here to provide me comfort and support.. I wanted to make some excuse up and get out from this dinner.. but Asad said the client is important for him and I shouldn't be messing things up for him.. He is already working so hard, this is the least I can do for him..
I came outside to spot my car which was parked on it's usual place.. I get inside after replying to driver's greetings.. I was okay travelling via public transport but Asad was hell adamant on me going with our driver in our car and I couldn't say no to him.. it's not like he gave me a choice, he just order.. He is like that only and honestly I don't even mind him ordering me around.. That simply means he considered me someone to claim a right and that is one good thing right..

I was all ready just my Hijab needs to be fixed, my makeup and my dress was perfect and I tried my best to look good and not spoil the reputation my husband has among his pals.. My long hair were open and flowing here and there while I was busy in finding a matching hijab to go with the dress.. I was too engrossed in my work that I didn't noticed when the door opened and Asad walked inside.. "Zoya are you ready?" And his voice startled me and I immediately turn around to find him standing there removing his coat and tie, he hasn't seen me yet..
A blush crept on my cheeks when I realized my long silky hair were on display for him.. I sneakily tried to grab something to cover myself up but sadly the stars were not on my side today, Asad's eyes snapped to mine and he stopped in his tracks looking at me.. His eyes turned a bit darker and I gulped at the intensity of his gaze.. "Yeah, I am ready just need to fix my hijab.." I said meekly breaking the awkward silence and Asad immediately averted his eyes nodding back at me..
"I have kept your clothes inside.." I informed him and without another word, he simply went to washroom.. My face fell down, he didn't even tell me how I look? Do I look that bad? I asked to myself looking in the mirror, my whole mood turning down.. Come on Zoya cheer up, I fixed my hijab perfectly and then made my way downstairs to give him some privacy for getting ready. I can wait outside for him..
I stopped the car in front of a lavish hotel, where the party was set up.. Opening door for Zoya, I forwarded my hand for her and I could see a shocked expression on her face.. I smirked inwardly, I love when I do something unexpected for her and she couldn't even hide her shock on that.. She is looking gorgeous tonight Masha Allah.. Again tonight I got a glimpse of her hair and the feeling of playing with them hit me again with a force... She is still too shy in front of me and hardly speaks her mind, that sometime annoy me but I also like that thing about her..
We came inside hand in hand and Zoya looked a bit uncomfortable here, I squeezed her hand, telling her I am right here for her and she just gave me her nervous smile.. I know such parties are not a scene of Zoya but I decided to stick with her the whole night so she doesn't feel so out of place.. I made her meet with several people and she just greeted politely to each one of them, without wiping that gentle smile from her face. "Nawab Sahab thank you so much for coming.." The host of the party came smiling towards us with his wife.. "Well thanks to you for inviting us.."
"Oh please now you are embarrassing us, well who is this pretty lady beside you.." His wife eyed Zoya with interest and she just shied away.. My pretty wife was just too innocent and shy for her own good... "Meet my wife, Mrs. Zoya Asad Ahmad Khan.." She greeted them both and they return it with a smile on their face and I was sure Zoya has successful in wooing them.. "She is very pretty, one lucky man you are.." He said smiling, yes that I am...
"Asad baby.." We were busy sipping on our drinks standing a bit away from all people.. As she must be tired of meeting so new people so I thought of giving her a break.. But a familiar voice hit my ears and I groaned at the possibility of seeing her again.. While Zoya stiffened beside me, I know how much she was upset in Manali when I left her alone at home and went to spend time with Sonya and other friends.. I have hurt her that day, but I am not going to make a same mistake today..
I immediately snaked my arm around her waist pulling her closer making her gasped in surprise.. "Oh hello Ms. Jahaan.." Sonya's eyes went to my hand on Zoya's waist and I could almost see her glare at my wife that made me mad and protectively I pulled Zoya closer that made Sonya's eyes snapped towards me.. "Wow long time no see.." She purred what she think in a seductive voice but it was far from that..
"Yupp been busy with work and family, newly married you know.." I said grinning at Zoya who was trying hard to not laugh at Sonya's furious expression.. "Well well, of course we have met before.." She said in a sugar coated voice and Zoya just smiled at her..
"You know it still surprise me that you married someone like her, I mean she is far away from your taste you know.." And my anger grew, how dare she insult my wife that too in front of me.. She is far away the most beautiful girl, I have ever laid my eyes on.. And I am very lucky to have her in my life.. "I am sorry Sonya, but I guess you hardly know me.. Zoya is just the girl I would have ever wanted to settle down with.. She is modest, she is caring, she is loving, she is graceful and most of all she is strong in her Imaan.. And that all a Man need.." And first time I saw pride in my wife's eyes, pride for me and I couldn't be any more happy...
