Present
Zoya came out with a jerk from the past memories when a vehicle passed few inches away from her. Her phone vibrated with the name Humie, she came to know that Humeira has called her umpteenth times, but she didn't picked it up, as she was not in her senses, finally she picked it up and answered that she will be back soon in few minutes. Zoya has decided to move onin her life without him, she thought, "I've always been an independent girl and no Asad Ahmed Khan can shatter me like this...ever", saying this she wiped her tears roughly with back of her palm.
Asad was already shattered; as he came to know about his ill health and meanwhile, he was the only one who knew that life has played such an un pleasant game with both of them which made him so helpless and forced him break her andher heart, the most precious asset of his life. So he maintained distance with her; Asad and Zoya both have not informed anything neither about his ill health nor their break up to Ayaan and Humeira, as they were waiting for the right time.
A week later
The date was, 16th july, when Asad and Zoya's official engagement was decided. It would be an understatement that Asya were in pain. Asad was left for his checkup whereas Zoya tried to busy herself in the work, but she failed, so she decided to visit the place where she always found the white shade of peace and answers of her all question, the beach. Her mind knew that he will never comeback to her, but her heart was not in her mind's support. She forcefully took her feet towards the beach.
Her hands automatically started molding a sand castle with a ray of hope, which was next to lie for her, still her heart persuade her to mold it, she has completed it when two hands came forward and engraved AsYa on top of it as she did the day when he left her. She turned and found him, who was staring into her chocolate orbs with loads of love and moisture. She remain stood for a second but after a while she was suppose to leave the place when he held her wrist, she tried to free herself from his hold but he was so hard, "leave my hand", she exclaimed.
He simply left her hand, she was leaving again when he said, "Haq to mera bhi hai...", she turned and gave him a look of disbelieve would be an understatement it was the expression of disgust, "I've also a right to explain myself...to explain the real reason behind my...my denial...my betrayal", and a tear drop fell down on the sand from his eyes. "Wasn't that evening sufficient to explain the real reason behind your betrayal", she sarcastically snapped with moist eyes, highlighting the word real.
"I know I'd shattered you...b", before he could explain himself she took her step forward to leave while roughly wiped her tears from back of her palm, seeing this he screamed, "I'd lied you that day Zoya!!", which forced her to stop and he came in front of her,she looked him with hatred and screamed,"why only that day..You were always lying to me...and I was the fool who was taking it seriously", she gulped "but now I know the real shades of yours ...and I hate you for that...I hate you Asad ...I hate you", she covered her face with hands when he said in low tone, "yahi to main chahta tha", after listening this she slowly removed her hands from her face and creased her brows in disbelief and he explained the real reason behind his betrayal, a fresh tears rolled on her cheek and zoya expressionless exclaimed hitting on his chest, "you moron! You liar! Why didn't you tell me earlier haan...why", she broke even more than before, knelt down on the sand, stuttered and cursed him, "you n-need me more than yours-self and you th-thought about-about me...ands-sacrif-ficed everything j-just for me...". He tried to say something but she kept on crying and while cupping her face in her palms said, "no! it can't be a truth...allah can't d-do this to us". He shushed her and held her shoulder to support her to stand, "Shhh!! At least listen to me once...", he cupped her face, "Allah has not done this to us zoya!..", zoya stared him in confusion. "today I visited the hospital, and there I came to know that...that by mistake the blood samples of mine were replaced by someone else's and I'm not suffering from cancer", he assured her which forced her lips to curve in a big dimpled smile and she continued, "really thanks to allah!", she closed her eyes and chanted a hymn and hugged him tightly and continued herself, " but how dare they...ese kese blood samples change ho gaye...tumhe kuch ho jata to...", she complained with all the anger inside her, but he cut off her sentence, "Bas bas meri Jhansi ki rani! Tumhare hisse ki ladai bhi main kar ke aya hu", he teased at which she pouted and he completed himself, "think...just because of all this we came to know that love is not the name to acquire, it has another meaning, sacrifice", she nodded and replied, "the another shade of love, called sacrifice", and they shared a hug, the sunset, the clouds showering water as the almighty was showering them blessings.
This was the weird incident which made them to believe about umpteenth shades of love, faith,dedication, support but the most important one was the purple shade of love, sacrifice.
