OS : A love Story

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass...It is about learning to dance in the rain...

Heavy rains flooded the streets of Bhopal...The Moti Masjid street was flooded with vehicles since it was blocked due to the huge Banyan tree which had famously adored the corner of the street since many years had fallen down with age and looked like an orphan now which had been home for many birds earlier...Few men were working to clear it away while the people stuck in their vehicles had no choice but to wait in the dark street since there was a power cut and at 9 PM it was no doubt quite dark...

Asad was not only getting irritated to get stuck up in the traffic but also due to the fact he could not get down from his car and take a walk to his house which was just 2kms away from the spot since he hated rains... His laptop battery had also gone down after working on it stuck up in the traffic for last 2 hours...The silver lines which could be seen in the sky due to the lightning and thunder was the only source of the light in the street once in a while along with the lights from few few vehicles who had still kept it on letting out all their thoughts saving fuel...

As he looked out of the window, he saw a balloon coming towards his car and got stuck to the side mirror of his car... His driver had happily dozed off in the front seat... He looked around and found a child around 4 yrs in a car.. and though he could not hear what the child was telling to the lady in driver seat , looking at her eyes he could understand that she was crying for the balloon... He was in a dilemma if he has to get down and help and as he was fighting with his thoughts, he saw a young lady in a white salwar suit who had approached the balloon.. He noticed that she was wearing a gold ring on her index finger which had a bright red stone which got noticed due to another wave of lightning... She had long hairs which had covered her face from the side view as she struggled to free the balloon's thread which had got tangled with the side mirror of his car...

Asad's thoughts : I seriously don't understand how can somebody get drenched so much just for the sake of a balloon...

The balloon had no doubt giving her a tough time and she shivered slightly hearing the thunder which was the loudest of the evening so far... She had probably got really irritated to see nobody getting out of the car to help her... She turned around with a small frown on her face and she was obviously irritated with seeing the driver sleeping happily.. That was when the lighting revealed her face to him... Her big brown eyes were mesmerizing... Before she could tap on his driver's window, Asad got down of his car...

Asad : Any problem Miss ??

Her big eyes grew more wider looking at him.. and he felt he could see some sort of recognition in her eyes... but he very well knew that they were meeting for the first time...She took just few seconds to come out of her surprise or shock and she smiled giving him a chance to admire at her dimples...

Zoya : Could you please help me with this ?? and she pointed towards the balloon...

He slightly nodded his head and walked close to her and took in her fragrance... As though he was in a trance, his fingers worked in trying to free the balloon while he kept stealing looks at her in between... After 2 minutes, he was able to take out the balloon and with a smile on his face, he tried to wipe his face with one hand and gave the balloon to her in the other hand... Their fingers brushed each others causing an electrifying shiver run down in both of them...

Zoya : Thank you !! and she slowly walked towards the child which was now happily looking at both of them ...

Zoya handed over the balloon to the child and shook hands with the child... The child peeped out from the window and planted a kiss on Zoya's cheek ...Looked like the lady in the car along with the child was tensed to leave the child alone in the car to go after the balloon... and she also thanked Zoya...

As Zoya walked back, she noticed Asad still standing outside his car leaning slightly on to it with his hands across his chest and looking at her... The street was now cleared and the vehicles in the front had started moving... As Zoya ran towards her car, she turned around and looked at Asad once and smiled ...

Next Day, Khan Villa - Dining Area

Dilshaad : Asad.. How come you got wet in the rain ?? You hate rains right... ?? and look at yourself.. what a bad cold you are having now... !! Why did you not wake up the driver if you had dropped something ?? and why did you search for it in the rain ??

Asad : Ammi.. I am fine ..!! It was a very lucky charm for me ammi... I know I was not lucky to get it .. but I am sure I will be able to find it soon...

Dilshaad : Now don't tell me Asad .. that you will go back there today in search of it again ??

Asad : Don't worry ammi.. By the way when is abbu coming back from Delhi ? and where is Najma ??

Dilshaad : Asad.. Do you remember your abbu's friend Gafoor ? They had shifted to New york couple of years back ??

Asad : I know ammi... So has he come back to Delhi ??

Dilshaad: Yes Asad... He is back in Delhi... and I heard he has 2 lovely daughters... So I was thinking if you will be interested to meet his elder daughter ??

Asad : Ammi.. Not again... I am happy with my life and business... Why are you so concerned about my marriage ??

Dilshaad : Asad.. I am your mother.. Atleast see her snap once... Your abbu will be getting it from Delhi tomorrow...

Asad : Ammi.. Please... I am not interested.. Please understand... !!

Dilshaad : Asad.. you are now 28... Successful business man.. what else do you want ??

Asad : Ammi.. I will let you know after I find my lucky charm...!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asad had been very busy the whole day and the bad cold was definitely not helping his mood to go better... He informed the driver to go home and took his car.. He reached Moti Masjid Road and drove his car slowly trying to keep an eye on either side once in a while... He found a small coffee shop towards the end of the street.. He parked his car and came out of the coffee shop quickly with his favourite black coffee in a take away cup.. He stood leaning on his car and sipped the hot coffee and looked around the street ... It would have definitely been shock of the millennium for somebody who knew ASAD AHMED KHAN, MD of Dilshaad Constructions standing out of this car just to enjoy his coffee.. and that too so very slowly...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next Day, Khan Villa

Rashid looked at Dilshaad and pointed towards Asad who was reading the newspaper ...

Dilshaad : Rashid... So did you get to meet your friend Gafoor s daughters ??

Rashid : Dilshaad.. Both of them are very pretty girls.. Though I did not get to meet his elder daughter - Zoya Farooqui, I saw her snap...Very pretty child.. She has done her MS in Computers... She is 24 Yrs and the younger one - Humeira Farooqui is around 21 Yrs.. She has completed her course on Space Science...

Najma : Abbu.. Really ?? I also want to do my Masters in Space Science... Why don't you invite them to spend few days with us ??

Asad slowly looked up .. He knew what his parents were up to...

Asad : Abbu.. Ammi.. cut it out please... I have told my decision yesterday.. I am not interested to meet anybody... He stood up and walked out of the house taking his coat and laptop bag...

While a shocked Najma opened her eyes wide and was trying to understand what was going on, Dilshaad and Rashid looked at each other and nodded their heads sadly...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two months had passed by since the last argument on this topic... Dilshaad and Rashid had never dared to open their mouths regarding Gafoor or his daughters in front of Asad...

Rashid : Asad.. I am sorry.. I did inform Gafoor that you are not yet ready for nikaah and so he could go ahead with searching for suitable boys for his daughters... Looks like your cousin Ayaan's alliance has gone to them.. Gafoor's entire family are coming to Bhopal today... They want to stay with us for few days ...

Asad : Fine.. Abbu.. If they are coming only as your friend.. I don't mind... but please on a serious note.. I don't want to meet any of his daughters...

Dilshaad : We understand Asad... How can we force you ??

Asad : Ammi.. why are you having that smile on your face now ?? I don't want any sort of mischief ammi... Please...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was nearly a week since Gafoor and his family had come to Khan villa... Asad had always left early and returned home late... He had very adamantly avoided meeting them... It was a Sunday morning... He had woke up late.. He did not realize how he had been sleeping less during the last 2 months.. and it was against his rules to wake up late... As he walked towards the dining table, the house was unusually quiet...

As he sat down, a female voice came behind him...

Lady : Would like to have anything Mr. Khan ?? Actually your parents have gone out along with my parents and Humeira to Ayaan's house to fix the engagement date...

Hearing her voice, he immediately turned around .. only to find HER .. right there in his house in front of him.. but what is she saying ?? !!

He tried to recollect her name which his dad had mentioned...

Asad : Ms. Farooqui... ?? Do you remember ??

Zoya : Mr. Khan .. How can I remember you ?? My parents had shifted to New york when you were born .. I am obviously younger than you.. !!

Asad : No Ms. Farooqui... I meant...

Zoya : It's ok Mr. Khan.. you need not feel awkward.. I know you rejected the proposal which your parents suggested... But now things are fixed.. Ayaan has agreed for the marriage...

Asad walked up to her now and stood right in front of her...

Asad : Ms. Farooqui.. No you are taking me wrong...

Zoya : No Mr. Khan.. I got to know you are in love with somebody else... So it is fine... I understand ...

Asad : Ms. Farooqui.. You are not understanding... Who told you all this ?? Did ammi tell you anything ??

Zoya : Actually .. No .. poophi did not tell me anything.. but I guess a person who visits Moti Masjid Road daily and spends 2 to 3 hours though it rained few days waiting for the girl whom he met on one rainy day must definitely be in love with her...

Asad was shocked to hear it from her... And as things started sinking in.. a smile spread across his face and his arms slowly went wide... asking her to come to his arms...

Zoya also smiled and hugged him...

Asad : You are crazy.. When you knew that I came in search of you .. Why did you wait for 2 months to let me know ??

Zoya : That was a small punishment to reject me ...I was able to recognize on the first day we met since Rashid uncle had sent a soft copy of your snap to us much earlier.. and that was the reason I came to Bhopal with my friends... but next day I got your answer from ammi... I was so angry with you on that day... I had come to that road again the next day to purchase few books and the book shop opposite to the coffee shop was the nearest one around...

Asad : ok.. .so what about Ayaan ??

Zoya : Humeira and Ayaan are getting married...

Asad was no doubt relieved to hear it... : Great !!

Surprising them it started raining in the morning... A smile spread across Zoya's face now..

Zoya : Well Mr. Khan.. I know about you very well from poophi now..I understand you hated rains... but would you like to dance with me in the rain ??

Asad : My Pleasure Miss Farooqui... !!
