Humdard
Chapter 1
The whole of niyamat house had been decorated like a bride. There was hustle bustle and activity everywhere. It was the marriage of the decade. There was an intricate decoration of white fairy lights and red orchids in the hall. The kitchen smelled of every delicacy one could imagine. No matter where you looked there were people. It was like every nook and corner of the house was filled up with guests and relatives. People were meeting and greeting each other after ages gossiping about the latest happenings of the high society. There was an atmosphere of glee and merry in the house.
But far away from the hustle bustle were three souls whose lives were entwined together and whose hearts were all messed up because of this marriage. Today was the marriage of aarzoo nausheen khan to zaki azeem choudhary.
As aarzoo walked away from the house, the marriage and everything it bought her mind was going haywire with thoughts she didn't know what to do next. This was not how she had planned things. This was not how she hoped things would end up.
*flashback*
Aarzoo walked into zaki's room determined she had had enough of this drama. This would end and it would end today.
"zaki bohot ho chukka ye natak. Aap dono bhai kab tak khelenge humare saath. Koi humei sach kyu nahi batata. Humei sach janna hai." Her eyes were dangerously red on the verge of tears. Her entire body was shivering with rage and frustration.
"Jahan aara is sach pe sirf sahir bhai ka haq hai aur wo aapko sirf sahir bhai hi bata sakte hai"
zaki looked on at the girl before him so powerful yet so helpless. He bowed his eyes down in regret of not being able to help her.
"Zaki kya aapko nahi lagta ke humne koshish ki hai? Hum thak gaye hai zaki please humari madad kijiye. Humei kuch samajh nahi aa raha" she said finally giving into her tears as she collapsed on to the ground breaking down from all the pain which was making her weaker by the moment.
"Jahan ara jawab to aapko khud hi dhundne padhenge. All i can say you is that listen to your heart and do whatever it tells you to do."
"Kya samjhe hum zaki aur kya kare? Ek pal wo humei kehte hai ke hum unke humsafar hai aur dusre pal humei apni zindagi se chale jaane kehte hai. Ek pal wo humei apne ghar se nikalte hai to dusre pal humari ek awaaz pe humei bachane daude daude chale aate hai. Ek pal aisa lagta hai jaise wo humse nafrat karte hai jaise unke man mei humare liye koi ehsaas hi nahi hai. Dusre pal wo humare kamre mei aate hai choro ki tarah jab hum so rahe hote hai aur humse maafi mangte hai. Har pal humei takleef dete hai par humei dard mei dekhkar humare humdard banne chale aate hai. Aakhir hum samjhe to kya samjhe zaki. Aankho dekha sach mane. Kaano suni baat mane. Ya sab kuch andekha karke us cheez par bharosa kare jo humne mehsoos ki thi? Humari madad kijiye zaki please hum pagal ho jayenge."
Zaki bends down to aarzoos level feeling as helpless as she did. This was the girl he loved more than anyone else but she was madly in love with his bhai. On the other hand was his sahir bhai who had suffered pain and torment for the past 7 years, who had finally found love and happiness for himself. No matter how much sahir denied it zaki knew that sahirs feelings for aarzoo were as true as aarzoos feelings for sahir were. And here he was the only person in the whole world who knew both their feelings and situations who could turn this situation any which way he wanted. As he hugged aarzoo closer trying to console her he made up his mind on what to do next.
"I'll make everything alright jahan aara." He said as he plastered a smile on to his face
*flashback ends*
Sahir was sitting in his room with his pen pressed hard against his injured palm, the paper before him was filled with only two words "adhuri aarzoo" in red. His eyes were swollen and his mind blank he didn't know what to do or how to deal with what was going to happen in his house today. The only aarzoo he ever had for himself would forever be left adhuri.
Sahir knew everything was at stake the deal, His family name, Saiyyara, Sam's future. He knew he could easily manipulate everything to his benefit. But everytime his mind thought of a plan or a solution aarzoo's face flashed before his eyes and everything would fall apart. His destruction meant nothing to him but after all the pain he had given her and seeing how happy she was with zaki ruining her happiness was something he just couldn't do. Not for himself. Not for his family. Not for the cost of the whole world and everything in it.
"Sahir bhai..." zaki's tensed voice echoed in his room but he was too far off to hear it.
"Jahan aara...aarzoo" Her name. Those words they were the only things that could effect him and they bought him out of reverie.
Sahir immediately knew something was wrong. In two strides he closed the distance between him and zaki holding onto zaki's collar sahir questioned.
"Zaki kya hua aarzoo ko?"
"Wo kahi dikh nahi rahi bhai. 1 ghante pehle usko zara ne tayyar kiya tha. But now when they went to check on her unka room empty tha. No one can find her bhai."
Sahir sped out of the house without wasting a second. The last time she had left home like this he had almost lost her he shuddered to think what would happen this time. Sahir azeem choudhary the most powerful man of Mumbai felt like the most helpless man ever as he hoped with all his might that nothing should have happened to her.
Sahir dialled her number hoping against hope that she picked up. On the 10th ring the phone was finally answered.
"Hello. Aarzoo...Tum kaha ho...aarzoo..." sahir spoke frantically into the phone.
"Ye ladki yaha dargah mei angaro ke saamne khadi hai. Na kisi ki baat sun rahi hai na kisi se kuch keh rahi hai agar aap ise jante hai to please yaha aa jayiye aur ise yaha se le jayie"
"Driver dargah le chalo quick" his voice had an urgency a desperation. He wouldn't let anything happen to her.
Sahir rushed to the backside of the dargah where a huge crowd had gathered around a girl who was dressed in her wedding clothes. As her eyes fell on his figure quickly coming towards her she put her foot onto the coal.
"aarzooo" he roared in pain. There were tears in her eyes but he knew it wasn't because of the pain the fire was giving her the pain in her heart was 1000 times worse than any pain the fire could give her.
"Aarzoo ye kya pagalpan hai. Apne aapko aise takleef pahuchane ka kya matlab hai?"
As she advanced on the coal there was no pain in her voice only determination.
"Sahir sahib ek khel aapne humari zindagi ke saath khela tha apni jaan daav pe lagake. Aaj hum aapke saath wahi khel dohrayenge. Aaj aap humare saare sawalo ka jawab denge"
He tried to move towards her to grab her hand and pull her out.
"Ek kadam bhi aage mat badhayiega. Warna jo aag humare kadam jala rahi wo humei puri tarah bhi jala sakti hai"
"Aarzoo please aisa mat karo. Mai karunga. Jo tum chahti ho karunga. Please...please"
"Aapne dard ko humari zindagi bhar ka humsafar bana diya hai. Aaj aapko humara humsafar banna padhega yaha abhi isi waqt. Aapne jitna dard humei diya hai utna dard aapko bhi sehna parega"
"Kya aapko qubool hai?"
Sahir was silent for a while he didn't mind being punished but he was stunned by her emotionless state. He wasn't sure if he wanted her to be bonded with his pain for the rest of her life. He didn't want to ruin her life.
Aarzoo lost her balance as she was quickly loosing consciousness. All rational thoughts flew out of sahirs mind as he dragged her out of the fire into his arms.
"Qubool hai" he said holding her close to his heart.
Aarzoo refused to get any medical aid till sahir married her. The maulvi finished the preprations in the time doctors and family members were called. In a matter of half an hour aarzoo nausheen khan finished her journey and became mrs.aarzoo sahir azeem choudhary. They had finally become "humsafars".
-------
Zaki azeem choudhary smiled from a distance at the sight before him.
"Jahan ara your plan was successfull after all. Agle kuch mahine niyamat house mei bade mazedaar hone wale hai sahir bhai ke liye" he thought with a naughty grin.
