PART 4: THE ESCAPE

BANNER CREDIT-ImmortalLove😊

Zoya silently entered the Creepy House...as Humi called it, at around 5 in the morning. She looked around and found no one, so she rushed swiftly to her room. The sight in front of her made her freeze. Asad was sleeping curled up on the bed with his hands tucked under his head. His mouth was slightly open and the voice of soft snores reached her ears as she neared him. She knelt down at his side and looked at him tenderly. She refrained herself from touching him lest it woke him and he again gets violent. Dilshad had advised her to keep away from him so that he won't be bothered by her presence...a way to keep herself safe. She examined his features, he looked so much at peace, very unlike the distress she saw him in, last day. She couldn't understand how he would have beared all this?? In her life, she'd always got sadness and grief but him...his miseries...his story made her own look so small. How similar they were...surrounded by the people whom they called as family and yet so alone!! She whispered softly to him, "You're lucky to have Dilshad Khala with you. She'll take you out...it's all over. A new life is waiting for you Asad." She packed her clothes and kept the suitcase hidden safely in the closet, then she proceeded to pack Asad's belongings. She looked at his cupboard. He had stored so many things from his childhood...a car, a broken gun and a lion mask...seriously?? She chuckled seeing that mask. After packing and rechecking everything, she moved out to get some refreshments to keep as a stock...it was going to be a long journey...a very long one indeed!! When she finished her work, it was almost the time for everyone to get up. She sat in the living room waiting for all to turn up for the breakfast.

Rashid and Shireen came for the breakfast and ordered the servant to hurry up as they were getting late for a very important meeting. When Zoya appeared, they gave smirks to each other and then Shireen spoke, "Listen Zoya!! We're heading out for a meeting. We'll be late or maybe we could stay there for the night. Dare you step your foot out of the house...and keep your eyes on that insane...if something happened to him na...then we'll not spare you...got it!!??"

After waiting for half an hour when Dilshad and Humeira saw Rashid and Shireen's car moving out of the gate, they immediately ducked behind the bush so as to remain unnoticed.Dilshad looked at Humeira as it was she who had to ensure that Dilshad enters into the house without any intervention. Dilshad rushed to the other side of the gate and Humeira showed her a thumbs-up sign and she waited with batted breath to let the show begin.

Sajjan Singh, a 6ft tall security guard was snoring peacefully sitting at the gate of Khan mansion when he heard some commotion. Startled, he opened his eyes and looked around carefully...what came into his view made him melt. A beautiful girl in her mid 20's was shouting for help. Decked in a dark red lehenga, she seemed a fairy to his eyes. He stood up and went to the damsel in distress...

"Help...Help...!!" Humeira was shouting at the top of her voice.

"Kya hua madam??" asked Sajjan.

"Accha hua aap aa gaye...kuch log mere peeche pade hain...save me!!!"

"But I can't see anyone..."

"There...that way!! Please save me..." She battled her eyelashes to give an innocent look.

Humeira took the guard as far as possible, without any sort of suspicion. He asked her, "Where are those people??"

"They were here...I think they ran away..." she tapped on his broad arms, " Mashallah!! You've such a physique...I think they got scared of you." Sajjan Singh's chest swelled twice its normal size on hearing this praise from a beautiful girl.

"What do I get in return??" he tried his luck, flirting with Humeira who was laughing inwardly at his stricken-by-love looks.

"You want something??"

"Yes..." he said uncertainly.

"Come here..."

He moved nearer but kept a distance.

"More..."

He moved closer...

"Aur paas..."

Sajjan smiled victoriously.

"You are so tall...please bend down a little..."

Sajjan bent down allowing Humeira to have easy access to his face.

"You want something special from me??" she asked innocently and he nodded.

"YE LE!! TAKE THIS...YOU MORON!!" Humeira shouted, directing the can of pepper spray to his eyes, which she had tactfully hidden in the pleats of her Dupatta. Sajjan Singh was wincing in pain and cursing loudly. Humeira brought a stick and started beating him black and blue. After ensuring that he was no more in the state to protest, she grabbed the rope and tied him tightly so that he couldn't escape without anyone's assistance.

"What happened Zoya?? Are you alright?" asked Dilshad rushing to Zoya's side in a jiffy and soothing her hairs lovingly. Zoya looked at her in awe.

"Khala, I donno what happened to Asad? He's just sitting on the washroom floor...looking into nothingness. Please come with me..."

Dilshad embraced a forlorn Asad and rubbed his back, providing him motherly warmth and comfort. He tilted his head and looked at her uncertainly but on finding himself in his Khala's embrace...he calmed down and closed his eyes. Zoya spoke up, "I found him like this when I came into the room, but I am sorry...I couldn't do anything lest I provoked him."

"No need to say sorry Zoya...it was for his and your own good."

Asad flinched on hearing Zoya's voice and buried himself deeper into Dilshad. She patted his head talking to him in such a polite manner that Zoya was once again bowled over by the motherly radiations that she emanated.

"Asad, look at me...dear do you want to go out?? I am taking you out of this hell...you've to be brave and come with me...Okay??" Asad nodded enthusiastically, a hint of smile forming on his face.

"Let me bring the luggage." Zoya announced and Asad again hid himself into Dilshad's arms. She said to him again, "Asad, don't be afraid of her. You know who she's?? She's your angel beta...your Ammi has sent her to help you. She is helping me to free you from the clutches of your evil father."

"Ammi...angel?" Asad asked looking at Zoya, who smiled at him faintly. Being a grown up man, he shouldn't be believing in angels and fairies but the mishaps in his past and untimely loss of his mother's love has left him believing in all those childhood tales...from which he could not free himself even if he willed to. He got up and went to Zoya with slow steps, hesitatingly," Angel!! You know my Ammi?" Zoya looked at Dilshad and she nodded her head.

"Yes.."

"Thank you for helping me..." Zoya smiled at him, fully this time.

"Will you be with me forever?" he asked with a sincerity in his voice to which Zoya couldn't deny and she nodded a yes. Asad smiled his dimpled smile this time and Zoya couldn't help the uneasy feeling erupting in the pit of her stomach on seeing him happy...why? she didn't know...

"Let's rush Zoya...Humi must be waiting outside...we can't afford to get caught." Zoya nodded and took the luggage while Dilshad assisted Asad in moving out. On the front gate, Humeira was waiting for the trio to come out. On seeing them, she got down the car, she was waiting in and rushed to Zoya, "Are you okay Zoee?" Zoya smiled at her impatience. Humeira casted an annoyed glance to Asad and he frowned in response. Zoya heard him muttering something like, "Evil monster..." and she chuckled inwardly.

"Zoya, Humeira...let's go. Our bus will be leaving in an hour." Dilshad said loading the luggage in the trunk.

"You take Asad and Khala, Humi...I'll meet you at the bus-stop." Zoya said with a finality in her voice.

"But where are you going?" asked a confused Humeira.

"I have some matters to take care of...I'll finish them and meet you all directly at the bus-station." Zoya looked determined and Humi knew that look...she nodded in affirmation and patted her shoulder. Humeira and dilshad sat inside but Asad kept standing out and looking at Zoya. Dilshad nudged him but instead of getting in, he moved towards Zoya, "Angel, are you leaving me? Come with me please..."

"I won't leave you Asad...I'll come back to you. I have to take care of something, so I'm going there. You be with Khala till I come...okay?" she asked him and he nodded like a child, "Come back soon..." he huuged her out of nowhere and Zoya was left dazed. Though it was a chaste hug, nothing like that between a man and wife...but Zoya felt so much in solace...a feeling of belongingness spreaded through her. Unknowingly, Asad had made a place in her broken heart which she was unaware of...his eyes entranced her...his smile made her happy...she had some latent feelings for him which got consolidated when she heard about the hardships he'd faced in his life...just like her...or even more than that!! These feelings...the unknown ones...were pushing her to help him and put the end to his miseries...that's why she'd taken this decision...it's time that some people get the taste of their own medicine...

SO...HOW WAS IT? WORTH THE WAIT??😕
