A momentary view of smiling eyes, blushed cheeks, curved lips... Her lashes closing down with fringes falling on them... Black clouds became her collyrum... She strained her eyes to look at him through net drape... She pressed her lips in silence of smiles...
She is a forbidden fruit for Asad eyes... He tried to look at her, but couldn't... Does really a Glimpse make a difference...?? He agreed in yes and it is true in this case, because now he is ready to marry unknown girl after that one glimpse...
*************************************
Flash Back
"Ammi, I don't want to marry now...???" Asad's decisive tone did not affect Dilshad who is busy in kitchen...
"Hum aaj shaam ko usse dekhne jaa rahe hai ... Aaj.. and its confirmed..." She placed his coffee cup on the center table and went back to her work...
"Abbu...!!!" He turned to his father for a better support...
"Mere taraf matt dekho... mein kuch nahi kar sakta..." Rashid said sipping his coffee and reading his paper...
"Abbu aaj tak kud ke liye ammi se kuch nahi kaha, aap ke liye kya poochenge bhai jaan..." Najma said sitting on couch handle folding her hands around her father's neck...
"Maanta hoon...!!! Tumhari ammi ko patana mushkil hi nahi, namunkin hai..." Rashid said... Asad made a broken expression...
"Don't worry bhai jaan, ek baar usse dekh lena... dekhne ke baad na kar dena..." Najma said...
"Yeh better idea hai..." Rashid agreed... Asad nodded thinking...
***************************************
Next Day:
Asad made a cheerless face and sat with eyes down with no interest in the faces around... Dilshad, Najma and Rashid sat beside her... He faked his smile when his mom introduced him to bride side people... When girl's mother informed that bride is descending stairs, everyone is excited to see her except Asad... She came and sat opposite to him...
"Asad, dekho woh aagayi..." Dilshad whispered...
"Bhai jaan... ek baar dekhiye, bhabi bahot sundar hai..." Najma's excitement compiled into mutter...
"Shut up Najma, hum yaha reject karne aaye hai..." Asad said without looking at her...
"Ek baar dekh toh lo..." Rashid insisted...
Asad slowly raised his eyes... He saw her flaunting red dress... Her hands are twined together on her laps, finger playing with one another... His eyes travelled up to her quivered parted lips, then to her eyes which she slowly raised to look at him... She slowly looked down with a slight smile... Her blushing cheeks, thumping heart are not hidden from him...
Asad's eyes flew high... He got lost in her... Her cheerless, absent face covered with blissful expression with a glimpse of her alluring face and appealing smile... He thanked thousand times to his mother in heart... He wants to know everything about her now... Her name, her hobbies, her tastes... He didn't understand the magic in that Glimpse... Moment of glimpse tied him with her...
Before he could ask to meet her, he heard her, "Kya mein unse akele mein baat kar sakti hoon...??"
Her low husk voice, reached his heart... That hesitation, excitement, anticipation in her eyes, sprinkled in her voice... She and Asad stood up... She walked and he followed...
**************************************
She removed duppatta covering her head and wore it normally to her neck...
"Aapki naam???!! ..." He said...
"Naam jaane bina, shaadi ke liye HA kar diya...???" She questioned with slight tilt of her head to right...
"Ha...??!!!" He was confused...
"Mein ne ammi se kaha hai, mein kisi gudiya ki tarah taiyaar hokar har ladke se nahi milne wali hoon... unn hone kaha kisi ne mujhe photo mein dekh kar ha kar diya hai... mein uss insaan ne milne chahti thi jiss ne mujhe photo mein dekh kar ha kar liya..." She was so free talking to him... He understood that she can mix up with anyone easily... She looked at his surprised face, "Toh aapne Ha nahi kaha...???" She questioned...
"Nahi..." He said with no change in expression...
"Very Good... Kyun ki mein abhi nikha nahi karna chahti hoon...!!" He liked her straight forwardness...
"Par mein abb Ha kehna chahti hoon..." He said shocking her...
"Aapko meri naam tak nahi pata aur aap mujhse nikha karna chahte hai...???" She questioned...
"Nikha ke liye insaan ko jaana important hota hai, naam jaana nahi..." He said...
"Par mein Nikha nahi karna chahti hoon...!!!" She exclaimed...
"Mein bhi nahi karna chahta tha... Par teri aankhone mein bachon jaisa bholapan, badon ke liye izzat, apno ke liye pyaar, chupi hui natkat svabhav, mujhe convince kar diya hai..." He said looking at her... She suppressed her blush... "Tum batao, tum yeh nkha kyun nahi karna chahti ho...??" He questioned...
"Kyun ki mein apni ammi aur abbu ko chod kar nahi jaana chahti hoon... Meri behen kum dost Humeira se dur nahi jaana chahti hoon... Mein apni family se dur nahi reh sakti hoon..." She said like a small child crying not to go to school...
He smiled and walked to her, took her hands into his, "Mein tumhe tumhari family se dur nahi lejana chahta hoon... Mein tuhe ek nayi family dena chahta hoon aur tumhari family ko ek beta..."
She looked into his eyes... She could see trust, his promise of her happiness for life time in one glimpse, "Meri naam Zoya hai... Might be Future Mrs. Zoya Ahmed Khan..."
Is it love or attraction that tied them together in one glimpse for life time...?? Whatever it may be, in that moment, one glimpse twined two souls for life time... This one glimpse of love might have born from love at first sight... They are made for each other by god...
