Part 18
Zoya n Kabir talked for some more time. Najma was lukn tensed seeing them talking.
"Agar Zoya ne Kabir ko select kar liya to?" thinks Najma.
"Tumhe Zoya kaisi lagi, Kabir beta?" asked Dilshad.
"Aunty, muje Zoya ka nature pehle se hi bahot pasand tha. Vo bahot acchhi ladki hai. Agar Zoya chaahti hai to muje ye rishta manzoor hai," said Kabir wid a smile.
"Zoya beta, tumhaara kya khyaal hai?" asked Dilshad.
Zoya gets tensed. She luks @ Asad n thinks abt how she fell in his arm after tripping on a chips packet, how she had pillow fight wid him, how he asked her to be his date @ d pool party, how they danced 2gthr, how he saved her in time 4m Akram who attempted to rape her n beat him very badly, how he hugged her to comfort her due to Akram, how they hugged yesterday on d garden bench. She then luks @ Kabir n sees him smiling. She thinks how he is ready to marry her if she is ready. She is confused on wat to do. Najma is carefully lukn @ Zoya who is lukn confused while lukn @ both Asad n Kabir.
"Kya hua, Zoya?" asked Dilshad.
"Muje kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai, phuphi," replied Zoya.
Najma luks @ Zoya praying dat she rejects him.
"Zoya, plz reject Kabir," prays Najma in her mind.
"Zoya, Kabir bahot acchha ladka hai. Vaisa hi ladka jaisa aap chaahti thi. Vo aapke baare me mujse bahot pooch raha tha. Zoya, haan keh do. Plz, say yes," said Asad.
Zoya gets confused n says, "Muje ye rishta manzoor hai."
Kabir n Dilshad gets happy. Najma is unhappy. Asad also smiles but Najma knows very well dat behind dis smile there is a sadness. Najma luks sadly @ Asad.
"Bhaijaan, aapne kya kar dia?" thinks Najma sadly.
Kabir goes after some time.
"Congratulations Zoya," said Asad wid a smile on his face.
"Thanks," said Zoya wid a faint smile.
Zoya had no idea y she is not happy wid her alliance wid Kabir.
Scene shifts to Haider who keeps on lukn @ his n Zoya's photo.
"Main khud ko bhi zimmedaar maanta hu ki main aapke liye kuch nahi kar paaya uss raat," said Haider wid tears in his eyes.
He recalls how he he survived d fire n how he went missing.
-----Flashback-----
"Aapi, ammi andar hai," said Haider.
"Main andar jaakar dekhti hu," said Zoya.
Main bhi chalta hu," said Haider.
They went inside a factory like place which was burning n started lukn for their mom.
"Ammi, ammi, they shouted but no answer came.
They gets pushed in a corner due to her fire. Zoya's right hand gets burned while Haider's left thigh gets burned. Zoya trips over sumthn n falls on d ground. She hits her forehead n become unconscious. Haider gets worried n starts crying. He sits down near her.
"Aapi utho, aapi utho," said Haider while crying.
Haider started shaking Zoya who was unconscious.
"Aapi utho na," said Haider while crying.
"Aapi, aapko kya ho gaya?" asks Haider while crying.
"Aapi, main kuch karta hu ha. Main abhi aata hu ha," said Haider while crying n went 4m there.
Asad goes outside d factory. He goes on d road n luks for people to help. He goes to a man.
"Uncle, plz meri aapi ko bacha lijiye," said Haider while crying.
D man went 4m there. He asked 2-3 more men but they also walked. He then saw a car stopping before him. A man comes out n sees Haider crying. He goes near them.
"Kya hua beta?" asked d man.
"Uncle, plz meri aapi ko bacha lijiye," replied Haider.
D man did not said anything. He snapped his fingers @ d 3 other men in d car. They came out of d car.
"Iss ladke ko lekar chalo," said d man.
2 of d men caught d boy's hands n tuk him on d back seat wid them while d 3 man sat on d front beside d driver of d car. Haider was very shocked n scared wen d car started.
"Aap log muje kaha le jaa rahe ho?" asks Haider shockingly still in tears.
None of them replied anything.
"Chhodo muje, muje meri aapi aur ammi k paas jaana hai," said Haider while struggling.
One of man holding him slapped him hard across d face.
"Chup baith ladke, tu humaare saath chalega," said d driver in an angry tone.
Haider got scared n kept quiet while crying. D car stopped @ a factory. D men brought Haider out of d car n tuk him inside d factory. Haider saw many children working by making carpets. D men pushed him in a corner n he fell on d floor. He was still crying.
"Dekh ladke, ye carpet factory hai. Main iss factory ka maalik hu. Aaj se tub hi yahi kaam karega. Agar tune koi bhi galti ki to achha nahi hoga," said d driver of d car.
"Muje yaha nahi rehna hai. Muje apne ammi aur aapi k paas jaana hai," yelled Haider.
He got up n was abt to run wen d owner of d factory caught him n pushed him back on d floor. He removed his belt 4m his pant n started hitting him wid it. Haider started crying n yelling wid tears in his eyes.
"Muje mat maaro. Muje mat maaro," Haider kept on begging.
But d man kept on hitting him mercilessly. After some time, he stopped n threw d belt aside. Haider cried very bitterly. His body was covered wid belt marks.
"Agar dobaara galti ki to isse bhi bura saza milega," threatened d man.
Haider kept on crying.
"ABhi rona band kar aur kuch kha le. Uske baad bahot kaam hai," said d owner cruelly.
"Main nahi khaaunga," said Haider while crying.
"Dekh ladke, jyaada jid mat kar varna firse maar khaayega," threatened d owner angrily.
Haider got scared. He ate d food given by them n started working.
Haider began working in d factory as a child labour. He used to cry everyday missing his ammi n aapi. He only had one photo of him n his aapi in his purse which he used to see n cry some of d times. D children were not given very less food in d factory. D children including Haider used to be beaten wid belts n canes for any mistake during working.
After 2 weeks, there is a police raid in d factory. D owner n all other men r arrested. D children r sent to a good orphanage. Haider n others were taken good care @ d orphanage. They were proper food n education. Haider sometimes used to miss his ammi n aapi. He studied hard n always brought good marks in school. He also excelled in sports n many other extra-curricular activities. Due to his good academic record, he used to study in school on scholarship during his high school. He got a scholarship for a good college in interior designing course. During college, he used to do part time jobs. After college, he did internship before setting up his own interior designing business 'Orchids'.
-----Flashback Ends-----
Haider came out of his thoughts. He was still in tears.
"Pata nahi meri ammi aur aapi kaha honge?" asked Haider to himself wid tears in his eyes.
"Muje maaf kar dena, Zoya aapi. Main aapko uss din nahi bacha paaya," said Haider wid tears in his eyes.
Scene shifts to Najma in her room. She calls Ayaan.
"Hello Tamatar," said Ayaan.
"Bhaijaan, ammi aur Asad bhaijaan ne Zoya ka rishta tay kar diya hai," said Najma.
"Kya? Kisse?" asked Ayaan shockingly.
"Asad k college friend Kabir se," replied Najma teln him everything.
Ayaan was shocked.
"Bhaijaan ne thik nahi kiya," said Ayaan.
"Zoya confused lag rahi thi aur bhaijaan ne hi use kaha uss rishte ko accept karne k liye. Zoya maan gayi," said Najma.
"Bhaijaan ko Zoya ko apni feelings bataana hi hoga," said Ayaan.
"I hope he understands dis soon," said Najma n hung up.
Next day, Kabir comes to see Zoya in d morning.
"Aslaam waalequm," said Kabir.
"Waalequm salaam," said Dilshad.
Zoya was in green shirt n jeans.
"Zoya, aap kaisi hai?" asked Kabir.
"Main thik hu," replied Zoya, "Aap kaise hai?"
"Main bhi thik hu," replied Kabir.
"Tum dono ko ek doosre ko achhe se jaanna chaahiye," said Dilshad.
"Ye bahot achha idea hai, Aunty. Main Zoya ko kal dinner pe le jaana chaahta hu," said Kabir wid a smile.
"Ye to bahot achhi baat hai," said Dilshad wid a smile.
Najma was unhappy. Asad too was unhappy but he did not showed. He felt jealous.
"Zoya, kya aap kal mere saath dinner pe chalegi?" asked Kabir wid a smile.
Zoya was clueless wat to say. She lukd @ Asad n then @ Kabur.
"Haan," replied Zoya wid a faint smile.
"Thik hai, kal main aapko pick up karne aaunga," said Kabir.
"Thank u," said Zoya.
Asad was getn hurt wid their convo of going to dinner 2gthr. Zoya too was not lukn so happy. She lukd @ Asad n thought abt a childhood memory wid him.
-----Flashback-----
Asad, Ayaan, Zoya n Haider were now friends but still they used to fight. One afternoon, Zoya enters Asad n Ayaan's room. Ayaan n Haider were also there. She sees Asad in his 'Tom & Jerry' underwear(Wen Dilshad was showing Asad's photo to Zoya, he was wearing 'Tom & Jerry' underwear in those photos). Zoya starts laughing seeing him.
"Asad, tune 'Tom & Jerry' ki chadhhi pehni hai," said Zoya wid a laugh.
Haider n Ayaan also starts laughing. Asad gets annoyed.
"Teri to, chudail kahin ki," said Asad annoying n pushed her on d bed.
He then messes her hair n says wid a laugh, "Ab to tu sachmuch chudail lag rahi hai."
Ayaan n Haider also starts laughing. Zoya gets annoyed. He gets up 4m d bed n combs her shoulder length hair properly.
"Asad, tu kapde pehen le abhi," said Zoya.
"Main nahi pehnunga. Main aise hi sounga," said Asad.
"Tuje sharam nahi aati hai kya, Asad?" asked Zoya annoyingly, "Iss room me ek ladki hai aur tu yaha nangu pangu bankar soyega."
All 4 of them used to sleep on d same bed in d sequence of Asad-Ayaan-Haider-Zoya. Ayaan n Haider used to sleep between Asad n Zoya cuz they were younger.
"Main aise hi sounga. Kya karegi tu?" asked Asad annoyingly.
"Main ammi aur aunty k paas sone jaa rahi hu. Main tere jaise nangu pangu k saath iss bed par nahi soungi," replied Zoya annoyingly n went out of d room.
She enters Dilshad's room where she was lying on d bed wid Zainab. They both were still not slept. She goes n lies between them.
"Zoya, tum yaha kya kar rahi ho?" asked Zainab.
"Ammi, Asad na sirf 'Tom & Jerry' ki chadhhi pehna hua hai. Vo kapda nahi pehen raha hai. Main uss nangu pangu Asad k saath nahi soungi," replied Zoya.
Zainab n Dilshad starts laughing.
"Ye Asad bhi na, Ise kabhi kabhi bina kapda pehne sone ki aadat hai. Zoya beta, tum yahi so jao," said Dilshad wid a smile.
Dilshad n Zainab sleeps after some time. Wen Zoya was abt to sleep, she sees Asad standing near d door. He signals him to come near him. Zoya shakes her heads n signals him to go 4m there. Asad then comes again dressed in a T-Shirt n shorts. He then signals her again to come near him. Zoya gets annoyed n goes near him dis time.
"Kya hua, Asad?" asked Zoya annoyingly.
"Zoya, chal na humaare saath sone. Dekh maine kapde bhi pehen liye hai," said Asad.
"Nahi aaungi. Chal jaa yaha se," said Zoya annoyingly puffing her cheeks.
"Ye balloon jaise muh fulaane se kaam nahi chalega, Baby Elephant. Jab tak tu mere room me nahi chalegi main yahi khada rahunga," said Asad wid a smirk.
Zoya got more annoyed.
"Thik hai, main aa rahi hu. Ammi aur aunty se bol du," said Zoya.
Asad caught her hand n brought her outside d room.
"Vo dono so gaye hai. Unhe mat jaga," said Asad.
"Okay," said Zoya.
He then tuk her to his room by her hand. They went to sleep on their places wid Ayaan n Haider between them.
"Good Night, Zoya," said Asad wid smile.
"Good Night, Asad," said Zoya wid a smile.
They then slept.
-----Flashback Ends-----
Zoya came out of her thoughts still lukn @ Asad. Her eyes getn moist. Najma noticed Zoya lukn @ Asad 4m some time. She lukd @ her carefully n saw her eyes moist.
"Zoya bhaijaan ko aise q dekh rahi hai?" thinks Najma.
Kabir goes after some time. Zoya goes wid Najma in her room. Zoya luks tensed.
"Zoya, kya hua?" asked Najma.
"Najma, main bahot confused hu yaar. Kabir bahot achha ladka hai. Par muje samajh nahi aa raha hai ki main Kabir se nikaah karna chaahti hu ya nahi. Muje samajh nahi aa raha hai ki main Kabir se pyaar karti hu ya nahi," replied Zoya in a confused voice.
Najma recalls Asad confessing dat he loves Zoya n him teln dat he vl find a nice guy for Zoya. He then recalls how she was confused in agreeing to marry wid Kabir n was lukn @ both Asad n Kabir. She recalls how she agreed wen Asad told her dat Kabir is a very nice guy. She then recalls how Zoya was lukn @ Asad some moments ago wid her eyes moist.
"Zoya, ye aapke zindagi ka sawaal hai. Aapko soch samajhkar faisla lena hoga ki aapko kya karna hai isse pehle ki bahot der ho jaaye," said Najma to increase her confusion, "Aapko dhyaan se sochna hoga ki aap Kabir se nikaah karna chaahti hai ya nahi."
Zoya got more confused wid wat Najma said.
Next day, Zoya goes out for dinner wid Kabir. (Zoya n Ayaan r in same clothes as they were in d episode of Vikrant Massey's entry as Ayaan) Dunring d dinner, Zoya is quiet most of d time. She is thinking whether she is right in agreeing to marry Kabir. She thinks wat Najma told her yesterday. She also thinks abt her time spent wid Asad in d pool party. "Zoya, kya hua?" asked Kabir, "Aap kya soch rahi hai?"
"Kuch nahi," replied Zoya.
Kabir notices tension on Zoya's face n wonders wats in her mind.
"Zoya k mann me pata nahi kya chal raha hai?" thinks Kabir.
After dinner, Kabir drops Zoya @ Asad's house. They got out of his car.
"Aapke saath dinner karke muje bahot acchha laga," said Kabir wid a smile.
"Muje bhi," said Zoya wid a smile.
As they walk 2wards d gate, they got bumped into each other n Zoya falls in Kabir's arms. Kabir n Zoya gets shocked. Kabir smiles while Zoya has a tense luk on her face.
They stand up n 2gthr says, "Sorry."
"Bye Zoya," said Kabir.
"Bye Kabir," said Zoya.
Kabir got into his car n drove off.
Asad n Najma who r watching them 4m Asad's window gets shocked. Asad feels hurt seeing Zoya falling in Kabir's arm. Najma notices dat n feels bad for him.
"Bhaijaan, aap kya soch rahe hai?" asked Najma.
"Kuch nahi," replied Asad.
"Bhaijaan, aap mujse jhoot bol sakte hai par khud se nahi. Abhi bhi waqt hai. Zoya ko apna feelings bata dijiye," said Najma.
"Nahi Najma, main Zoya k liye thik nahi hu," said Asad in s hurtful voice.
Najma luks worried for him.
Next morning, Zoya comes in Asad's room. She is in green T-Shirt n blue jeans mini-skirt.
"Asad, I am really very confused ki muje Kabir se nikaah karna chaahiye ya nahi. Kabir bahot acchha ladka hai but still I am very confused," said Zoya.
"Aap confused q ho rahi hai, Zoya?" asked Asad.
"Aap to jaante hi main Akram k saath apne nikaah me kaise bhaagi thi aur Akram kitna gira hua insaan nikla. Waseem aur Rizwan bhi MCP aur hypocrite nikle. Aapne khud hi 4 ladkon ko reject kiya cuz u thought ki vo ladke acchhe nahi hai," replied Zoya.
Asad felt guilty n cud not stop anymore.
"Zoya, vo 4 ladke acchhe the. Vo baaki ladkon ki tarah nahi the. Maine unhe jaanbujhkar reject kiya," blurts out Asad.
Zoya is shocked n luks @ Asad who is lukn guilty.
"Why?" asked Zoya in a low voice.
"Cuz I loved u, Zoya. Pata nahi main aapse kabse pyaar karne laga tha par humesha mera ego aur mere stupid regressive thoughts beech me aa jaate the. Aap muje bahot pehle se hi attractive lagti thi. Shaayad tab se jab maine aapko pehli baar mazhar me rote huve dekha tha. Uss waqt se pehle jab hum pehli baar mile the aur aap mere car k saamne aayi thi. Lekin main idiot tha jo puraane khyaalat me rehta tha aur apne feelings ko ignore karta tha. Jab aap mujse naaraaz hone lagi aur muje ignore karne lagi tab main aapko miss karne laga aur muje pata chala ki main kitna galat tha. Jab ammi aapse aapki nikaah ki baat kar rahi thi, tab muje kahin nahi kahin hurt ho raha tha ki aap kisi se nikaah karke iss ghar ko chhodkar chali jaayegi. I realized dat I had some feeling for u. Muje aur hurt hua jab aapne ammi se kaha ki aapko mere jaisa ladka nahi chaahiye. Muje ye bura lag raha tha ki aap abhi bhi sochti hai ki main pehle jaisa hu jo sach nahi tha. Aapne jo saari baat ammi se mere baare me kahi usse muje aur realize hua ki meri soch kitni galat thi. Main aapko hurt karne k liye humesha guilty feel karta tha. Uss din kitchen me bhi main iss baat se frustrated tha ki aapka nikaah kisi se ho jaayega. I had realized then dat I am in love wid u. I don't know how jealousy tuk over me aur maine unn 4 ladkon ko reject kar diya cuz I thought all vl be impressed by them. Maine aapke saath mind games khelna shuru kiya aapko ye prove karne karne k liye ki main hi aapke liye best hu taaki jab main aapko propose karu, aap mera proposal accept kare. Par maine jo kiya vo galat tha," replied Asad.
Zoya thinks abt Asad talking rudely wid her in d kitchen n wat reason he gave for dat after apologizing to her. She recalls how he rejected those 4 guys n convinced everyone dat they were not right for her. She lukd @ Asad wid tears welling up in her eyes.
"Zoya, I never meant to hurt u n make u cry," said Asad sadly.
"To aapne mere liye Kabir k q laaya?" asked Zoya seriously thru her tears.
"Kuch din baad, main tensed ho raha tha ki main aapko paane k liye mera plan chaalu rakhu ya band karu. Maine realize kiya ki main aapko ek taraf se dhokha de raha hu aur aapka trust tod raha hu. Uss din pool party me jab aapne muje apna past bataaya to maine decide kar liya ki main aapko paane k liye ye planning aur nahi kar sakta hu qki kisi ko iss tarah apni ore kheenchna dhokha hai. Maine realize kiya ki main aapko dhokhe aur manipulation se paunga to vo galat hoga. Usse main kabhi khush nahi rahunga aur muje humesha meri galti yaad aayegi. Maine soch liya ki main aapke laayak nahi hu. Aap bahot acchhi ladki hai. U r too good for me. Isliye, maine socha ki main apni galti sudhaarne k liye aapke liye bahot acchha ladka dhundu. Kabir mujse aapke baare me bahot pooch raha tha. Isliye, maine use laaya. I am so sorry, Zoya. Ho sake to muje maaf kar dena," said Asad sadly.
Zoya stares @ him wid tears in her eyes n widout saying anything, she leaves d room. Asad sees her go wid tears in his eyes.
"Muje maaf kar dena, Zoya," says Asad wid tears in his eyes after Zoya leaves d room.
Precap: #Zoya enters her room n sits on her bed. She cries while thinking wat all Asad said to her some moments ago. She thinks abt Asad apologisng to her. Both Asad n Zoya thinks of each other in their room while crying wid 'Tune Jo Na Kaha' song 4m 'New York' playing in d bg.
#In d hall, Asad n Zoya comes face to face. Zoya stares @ Asad softly. She then thinks Asad bringing Kabir n teln Zoya to accept him. She gets furious but does not shows it. Asad asks her how she liked Kabir. Zoya replies sarcastically dat if he has found a guy for her then he must be really good. She goes 4m d hall leaving Asad confused.
#In d evening, Dilshad tells everyone dat next evening, there is a Walima of one of her friends' daughter n they all sud go.
#Next day, Zoya in her room is lukn @ her clothes thinking wat she sud wear @ Walima. Most of her occasional dress r sleeveless. Asad comes to her room n aks y she is tensed. She tells him dat she is not understanding wat to wear n dat we she was in New York she used to be comfortable wearing anything. Asad tells her to wear anything she likes n be comfortable to wear she wants. Zoya luks confused as Asad says dat.
#In Walima, KV n SM people r also there. Asad n Kabir reaches there. Asad is in blue sherwani. Asad wonders wat Zoya vl wear. Dilshad, Najma n Zoya who came in another car arrives after some time. Zoya is wearing a blue sleeveless Indo-Western gown. Asad is mesmerized by her n smiles. Kabir also smiles seeing Zoya in dat dress. None of them r paying attention to her burn scar which is clearly visible on her right hand.
# Dilshad tells Zoya to talks to some girls n see if any girl is suitable for Asad. Zoya gets shocked n agrees to her but somewhere she is not feeling happy wid it.
Like for PMs😊
