Part 1
Asad Ahmad Khan and Zoya Farookhi crossed paths all the time. They got into silly tiffs and went their separate paths. Fate has a surprise in store for them. Zoya's aapi and jiju leave her in Dilshad's care and return home to New York. Unaware of the fact that they are going to be living under the same roof Zoya and Asad get into another tiff. Zoya is welcomed at Asad's home with open arms. Najma is shocked to see how carefree Zoya is who must be a couple of years older that her. Zoya turns in for the night in Asad's room unknowingly. Asad return late at night and hits the sack. They become aware of each other's presence and once again as per their nature get into a tiff.
Dilshad and Najma hear them fight and come to Asad's room. Then the fact is revealed that she is the guest who would be living with them. Asad looks at Dishaad and says," Ammi aap ne toh kaha tha ki bacchi hai. Ye mohtarma aap ko kis angle se bacchi lagti hai?" Dilshaad notices that Asad and Zoya are both fuming with anger she thinks did they meet before? Najma takes Zoya to her room. Zoya and Asad share a stern stare. Next morning there is yet another tiff waiting to happen.
At the breakfast table Asad, Dilshaad and Najma are joined by Zoya. She notices the silence and it is killing her. She notices Asad to be a cleanliness freak and Asad notices that she is quite the opposite of him. When Asad places everything in its place even while having breakfast. She bursts out with her takhia kallam," Alla Miya What's wrong with you? Khan Sahab" (Yes Zoya would call Asad "Khan Sahab") He comments on her clothes and tells her to dress properly before leaving from his house. She is wearing denims and a top. She retorts by saying " Aunty kya mera jeans pehnna galat hai. Agar ye hindustaani tehzeeb ko itna tawajjuh dete hain aur mujhse kehte hain ki western outfilts na pehnooo Toh ye kyun suit pehente hain Pathani pehenkar office kyun nahi jaate." Looks at Asad and says, " Agar aunty nahi chahti toh main asie dress nahi karrongi Par aap mujhe na kahe ki main kya karron. Main aapki " begum" nahi hoon." Asad is shocked to hear "begum". He sternly says," Miss Farookhi" (Asad would call Zoya Miss Farookhi) Najma and Dilshaad stare back and forth from Asad to Zoya both trying to control their laughter as they had never heard anyone speak to Asad in this way.
The days pass and Asad and Zoya continue to get into each other hair. His house has become like a warzone where cold war is on. Dilshaad raises the topic of Asad's Nikaah. He as usual is not interested. He is reluctantly agrees to see the proposals. He is afraid of hurting another person like his father hurt his ammi. Ayan finds out about Asad going to see the girls for marriage. He calls him on one such days and says," Bhai aap ladki dekhne jaa rahe ho Par aapki waali ka kya Use dhoonde aapki baaton se to lagta hai ki wo kammal ki hongi bilkul aapke takkar ki meri bhabhijaan banne ke liye perfect." Asad is sitting with Zoya, Dishaad and Najma. He is a little baffeled by Ayaan's suggestion because his "meriwaali" is right in front of his eyes looking at pictures of girls for him. Asad just responses as he is still in shock by Ayaan's words, He says," Meriwaali saahibaan na mile wahi accha hai unka screw bahut pehle kahin gir gaya hai." All are shocked to hear "Meriwaali" from Asad's mouth.
Dilshaad notices that Asad looked at Zoya while saying "meriwaali". She knew that Asad and Zoya had met before. She decides to find out more. Zoya tells her about all the times she encountered Asad. Asad is listening to this conversation. He did not want to but was feeling that his ammi might be hurt as Zoya was blaiming him for all of her silliness and getting into tiffs with him. Dilshaad asks," Beta tum apne nikaah se kyun chali gayi? Humaare ateet ko humaare aaj par haawi nahi hone dena chahiye. Kal jo hua uske liye uske dard se aage badhne ke liye tumhe age badhna hoga. Aaj tum akele apne sawaalon ke jawaab dhoond rahi ho jo bahut mushkil hai zindagi mein ek sahi saathi har mushkil asaan kar deta hai. Jo jung tum akele lad rahi ho wo tum apne humsafar ke saath milkar bhi toh lad sakti ho na?"
Zoya has tears in her eyes. Asad remembers seeing Zoya at the Mazaar how her tears brought tears to his eyes. Zoya softly says," Aunty mere liye mera past ko jaanna bahut zaroori hai. Main past ki problems ko saath lekar future mein nahi jana chahti. Marriage is everything for me. Main chahti hoon ki jab main shaadi karoon to apne past se nikalkar apni shaadi ko apne sasuraal ko apna 100% doon." Asad is surprised that this scatterbrain Zoya can be mature at times. Dilshaad decides that she has found her bahu in Zoya. It would easy to convince Asad to marry her because he was settling for her sake. He would marry any girl as he is not interested in love or marriage. It would be an uphill task to convince Zoya.
It took a lot of convincing and emotional blackmail from aapi for Zoya to agree to marry Asad. Ayaan found out that Zoya is the one who Asad is marrying. Asad filled him in with the details that she was his "meriwaali" from the day of the Mazaar incident and that he had seen her first in the mazaar. Ayan came out of his childishness. He never had actual feelings for Zoya. He was just smitten by her. He says," Dekha bhaijaan kaha than a aapko aapki waki mil jayegi. Allah Taala ne meri dua Qubool Ki."
Asad had only one condition that his Nikaah would be a silent affair and from his side only Dilshaad, Najma and Ayaan would attend the wedding. He took promise from all that Rashid and Family would not get wind of his nikaah. He did not want to ruin the day when his mother's wish for him was coming true. Dilshaad agrees with a heavy heart. Asad and Zoya had a talk before the nikaah. He was very clear that he was marrying for his ammi's happiness and she too clarified that she needed to live in India to find the answers to her past. They agreed not to interfere in each other's lives and to put on a charade for the people.
Part 2
On the nikaah day.
Zoya is dressed in a beautiful red joda. She is looking far more stunning than the day of her previous wedding fiasco. Maybe because she was meant to look this stunning on her actual nikaah day with the one Allah chose for her. Asad was looking very handsome in his sherwaani. The nikaah ceremony takes palce. They are sitting opposite to each other separated by a thin curtain. The Maulwi first announces the wedding between Asad and Zoay and the conditions of the Haq Mehar. He then turns to Zoya and asks," Zoya Farookhi kay aakko Asad Ahmad Khan se nikaah Qubool hai?" She answered " Qubool Hai" Asad too says " Qubool hai" The nikaah ceremony is over. Zoya Farookhi was now Zoya Asad Ahmad Khan. A new chapter in her life began.
She was seated on the bed in her and Asad's room which was elaborately decorated by Najma and Ayaan. She knew Asad was very clear about the boundaries of their married life which neither would cross. But Zoya being Zoya She kept her protector the infamous Pepper Spray for her protection from her husband who would enter her room anytime. She was playing with the pepper spray under her veil. She heard the door knob. She gulped as she was scared that Asad my advance as now he was her husband. The pepper spray falls from her hand. She gets up to look for it before Asad enters. She had not lifted her veil. She bangs into Asad and lifts her veil saying," Alla Miya What's '" She stops as she looks at her husband's stern look. Asad moves forward and she steps back. He steps on something that makes him slip and he falls on the bed taking her with him. She was pinned under his strong muscular body.
She sees in his eyes for the first time. They were intense and had some pain. It was similar to the one she had but hid from everyone. She feels his aura and something takes over her. She closes her eyes and her lips part. Asad is bemused by her action. His heart does not flutter or skip a beat on seeing his beautiful bride inviting him unknowingly to do some unmentionable things to her. He is not capable of understanding love as he is afraid to do so. He gets up and frees her bringing her back to reality. He looked around for the object resulting in his fall and picked up her Pepper spray. He sighed gave her a look shook his head and returned it to her. They slept on the same bed facing away from each other.
The next morning it was the first time Zoya made sweet for breakfast. She was taught by Dilshaad as she is a big fat zero when it comes to house hold chores. She did not know anything about taking care of her house or her husband. But Dilshaad did not choose her for house hold chore abilities. She knew if anyone can tame her wild tiger of a son it was Zoya. He did not say a word in appreciation. He left for work. She was still the same Zoya who was before marriage. He was still the same Asad. Face it miracles don't happen overnight.
Days became weeks and weeks became months. Nothing changed in their relation. In front of all they put up a great charade but they were strangers when they were alone. Asad and Zoya had to go for a dinner date set up by Dilshaad. Zoya had started to understand Asad and his pain. Asad was still to see his wife. She was like a furniture piece to her. He paid no heed to her. Zoya was exicited to go on the dinner date with her "Khan Sahab" . She was very happy her excitement wasn't hidden from Najma and Dilshaad. Dilshaad noticed a change in her. She tried on many dresses and chose to wear his favorite color dress. She was looking forward to a compliment from him. Something in her was changing. She was falling for her "Khan Sahab".
