PART 9: MEANT TO BE??

BANNER CREDITS- ImmortalLove😊

Left...right...left...right...left...this was the way Zoya and Dilshad's heads were moving from one side to the other. Since last five days, Humi was there and Dilshad joined them yesterday night. The house was extremely taut with tension...a cold war was going on...between Asad and Humeira. Zoya was tired of playing refree so she sat quietly with Dilshad and observed the blinking game that Asad and Humeira were engaged in. That was their way to argue...and Zoya was glad that they were at least quiet. Otherwise the day when Humi walked in surprising them, Asad had made such a weird face seeing her and remained grumpy the whole day. Next day too, he didn't have his breakfast properly. Those two were at loggerheads...always!! At lunch and dinner, everday a fight sprang up...regarding who was to sit closer to Zoya.She'd to solve that matter by sitting in between the two kiddos so that they didn't strangle each other while eating.

"I don't like you!" Asad spat out.

"Same hereee!" Humi retorted while Zoya and Dilshad rolled their eyes.

"Stop it you two!! Please behave..." Dilshad said annoyingly.

Zoya laughed at Asad's expression and then got up to make the lunch ready. But Humi stopped her, "Zoya! Come with me! I want to talk to you...which is impossible when some people are there." She said eyeing Asad.

Asad scowled and immediately responded, "Zoya! It's time for our stroll...let's go!"

Zoya looked helplessly at Dilshad who just shrugged her shoulders in indifference.

"Asad...I'll be back in few minutes...then we can go for a walk...okay?" Zoya softly asked him and though reluctantly but he agreed.

Humeira almost dragged Zoya to her room. Zoya jerked her hand away and said annoyingly, "Humi is this the way to behave? You know how he is? Then why this nuisance? You should treat him softly."

Humi looked at her for a while and then out of nowhere she announced, "Zoya, pack your bags...we are leaving in the evening!!" To say that Zoya was shocked would be an underestimation of her condition...she was unable to think properly.

"W-W..Why? S..So soon?" she stammered.

"Zoya we have to leave someday...sooner the better!! And besides...I have to join my new job day after tomorrow. So it's better if we reach there tomorrow."

"But how can I leave Asad?"

"Zoya...what is there to worry? His Khala is there to take care of him now...why bother about him now?"

"But he had me beside him for 4 months...how can I leave him in 4 hours??" she said in a broken voice.

"That was the reason I didn't want you with him. Zoe...you give importance to everyone except yourself...Zoya this world has millions of needy people...if we think about all of them, when will we live our life? Zoya, you did your part...now it's upto Dilshad aunty to take care of him."

"But we were together for 4 months...4 MONTHS!! Humi...he needs me!"

"No Zoya he doesn't need you..."

"We were there for each other...in every happiness...every sorrow!"

"That was natural Zoya...you two lived together...so it's obvious. Zoya he's not what you need in your life. You need someone to take care of you, not the one who demands care from you. Once you leave, he'll himself adjust to the changes...he won't miss you." Zoya was quite...seemed to be pondering over her words.

"Don't you believe me? See for yourself!!" Humi said pointing towards the window. Zoya looked out and saw Asad going for a stroll with Dilshad...her eyes filled with tears of pain for some unknown reason.

"Look...he went with his Khala. Zoya he needs someone to pamper him...if not you then someone else!! It's nothing...maybe he'll miss you for few days and then he'll forget you."

Tera shehar jo peeche chhoot raha
Kuch andar andar toot raha
Hairaan hain mere do naina
Yeh jharna kahan se phoot raha

Unable to bear the sight of Asad forgetting her so easily, Zoya ran out of the room and went to her own room...she pounced on the bed and cried her heart out. Here her heat was aching for Asad and he...!! He went away happily with his Khala...

MEANWHILE:

Asad was walking quietly with Dilshad. She was asking him something or the other but he replied in monosyllables...like trying to ignore the conversation.

"What happened beta?" Dilshad asked her after a while.

"Khala...why did you come with me?? Why not Zoya? Is that evil monster more important than me?"

"No Asad...look...she is Zoya's sister na!! So she needs her too. You had her for yourself for so many months...now let her sister talk with her."

"If I don't bother her...will Zoya be happy?" he asked.

"Yes! Very much!!"

Asad smiled to himself and walked ahead while thinking of Zoya.

BACK IN HOME:

Zoya was robotically stuffing her things in the suitcase when she found something. It was a saree...a beautiful red saree. Her mind drifted back to those days when she and Asad were new for each other. He trusted her but during his anxiety attacks he sometimes forgot all these ties...

Jab jab chaaha tune rajj ke rulaaya
Jab jab chaaha tune khul ke hasaaya
Jab jab chaaha tune khud mein milaaya
Ik tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi

FLASHBACK:

Zoya was setting her and Asad's cupboard properly when her eyes felt on the piece of red cloth.

"What is it?" she said pulling it out. "A saree!!" she exclaimed.

She was thinking about whom does it belong to when she felt it being snatched. She turned around and saw Asad glaring at her.

"How dare you touch it?"

"Asad...I.."

"Don't touch my Ammi...leave her...leave me!!" he screamed.

She understood that it was his Ammi's saree and seeing it had made him anxious. She didn't say anything further and left him alone with his mother's memory.

FLASHBACK ENDS...

Jab jab chaaha tune rajj ke rulaaya
Jab jab chaaha tune khul ke hasaaya
Jab jab chaaha tune khud mein milaaya
Ik tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi

Ik tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi

Zoya was packing her belongings when Asad and Dilshad returned home. Humeira was watching TV. She didn't glance back, already knowing that Asad was back.

After few moments she felt that someone was gazing at her. She turned around and her eyes widened in shock...

Asad was standing with a tray and a glass full of water on it. She asked irritatingly, "What??"

"This is water..."

"I know!"

"For you!"

"I don't want!!"

"You want tea?"

"No!!"

"Then?"

"Nothing!! Thank you..."

"Okay!" Asad said dejectedly and went away.

Asad went to Zoya and was surprised to see her packing her stuff.

"Are we going somewhere?" he asked confusingly.

"I am going with Humi." She stated.

"When will you come back?"

Zoya looked at him surprised as she thought that he will stop her...will plead her to be with him but he acted so casual. Something in her broke...don't know what that feeling was but she felt neglected...dark clouds of aloofness surrounded her heart again.

Holding herself back, she replied,"I don't know. Maybe you have to live with Dilshad Khala forever. I won't come back."

Mainda toh hai, rab kho gaya
Mainda toh hai haye, sab kho gaya
Teriyan mohabbatan ne lutt putt saaya
Teriyan mohabbatan ne sacheya sataaya
Khaali hath modhi naa tu, khaali hath aaya
Mainda toh hai, rab kho gaya
Mainda toh hai haye, sab kho gaya

Those words were like tons of bricks poured over Asad's head. He jerked his head denying her, "No! Take me with you. Don't go!!"

Zoya made herself stronger and kept herself busy in packing. Asad looked here and there panicking. He saw that red saree lying down on the bed. He picked it up and went to Zoya, "Zoya! you are going because I shouted on you...you...you want this?? Keep it! My Ammi will be happy...she wants everyone happy. P-Please don't leave...take this saree!! Take this..." he said while his eyes rained continuously...

Kaanch pe chalna aanch mein jalna
Jitne bhi dard hai maaye seh na sake yeh jindari
Zehar ko pee ke, sooli pe jee ke
Nikle jo dum kabhi toh inn dardo se chhote jindari

Zoya closed her eyes in pain and Asad held her hands again. It was like she has touched some live wire. The intensity of his anxiousness...his fears was so much that it scared her. He put that saree in her hands and looked at her pleadingly.

Just then Dilshad entered, breaking their trance...

"Asad...As..."

Yun waqt kate meri jaan kate, armaan sabhi tukdon mein bante

She froze seeing the scene in front of her. Asad was crying and Zoya had almost zipped her baggage. A red saree was in Zoya's hand which she instantly recognized as Zainab's.

"Zoya?"

"Khala...we're leaving today. Sorry I didn't tell you earlier but Humi wants this and I can't deny my sister. I promised her that once you are back to take care of Asad, I'll go back with her."

"But Zoya it is not safe for you! And why on such short notice?"

"We're not going back home. Humi has got a job in Shimla and she has to join soon."

Dilshad was unable to think of anything to make her stay back. It was Zoya's life and in such short span of time they'd bonded well...she took her as her daughter. She can't ask her daughter to give up her life for her son!! She was in a dilemma and seeing no path...no reason to stop what was happening...she just joined her hands and prayed to the Almighty, "Allah! Please don't separate these two souls...I believe they are made for each other. Do something...bestow your blessings on my children!!"

"Okay...take care of yourself. Contact me when you settle down there." Dilshad said after a while, easily hiding her emotions and Zoya nodded. Asad stomped his feet and went away in anger.

Kaanch pe chalna aanch mein jalna
Jitne bhi dard hai maaye seh na sake yeh jindari
Teriyan judaaiyan aggey dukh saare chhote
Teriyan judaaiyan aggey sukh saare khote
Pal pal hote mere dil de totey
Mainda toh hai, rab kho gaya

"Baccha hai! Abhi samaj jayega..." Dilshad said emotionally.

"I know Khala...he has to!!"

"Thank you Zoya for giving me this Asad...I hope he remains like this forever."

"I hope so too..." With that the two ladies hugged each other and broke down in each others embrace. Containing herself, Dilshad caressed her head and pointed towards the saree, "This is Zainab's...her wedding attire. If she would have been alive, she would have gifted you this...keep it Zoya!!"

"But Khala...how can I?"

"You are Asad's wife...in whatever ways this marriage took place...but you are the daughter-in-law of Khan household. This rightfully belongs to you."

Zoya thought for a minute and seeing her immersed in her thoughts, Dilshad said lovingly, "Keep it as a mother's blessing...for bringing his son back to life."

Zoya didn't waste a minute after that...she extended her trembling hands and held that saree in her hand...her thumb caressing the beautiful Zardosi on the linen. She kept it inside and finally zipped up her suitcase.

ON THE TERRACE:

Asad was muttering something under his breath. He seemed disturb and disheveled.His eyes were red...his clothes deranged. He seemed numb...to everything around him...the chirping of birds didn't bother him...the cool breeze didn't soothe him...smell of fresh flowers never reached him...all he felt was Zoya...his every sense was conquered by her. She was everywhere.

Dil ki gaagar se saat sagar se chhalke hai toh kyon yeh
Paancho dariya bhi hairaan ho gaye
Saaz tann mann ke, sone se khanke
Saath mere tha jab mera, ab toh yeh veeran ho gaye

Zoya watched every petty thing carefully. It was like leaving her own home behind...and it in fact was her home...where she started afresh...she felt heavy...and burdened. She looked around for Asad but he was no where. She looked at Dilshad...

"He is at the terrace beta...he is angry and it's his habit...I'll handle him. You go!" Dilshad explained, controlling her despair. Altough she wanted to stop Zoya but she was bound by her words...she herself had said that she'll take care of Asad when she returns...now how can she back out and ask Zoya to stay?

As if sensing what was going to happen, Asad jerked back into his senses. "Zoya..." he whispered to himself and stood up...he looked down and saw his angel...leaving him. A drop of tear fell down his eyes...

Tere gham ko mitawaan, kaise tujhko bhulawan
Kaise lagiya nibhawa, kaise bhichde ko paawan kaise

As if in a perfect synchronization, Zoya looked up and saw him standing. She felt a wet drop on her cheek...no she wasn't crying!!!!!

Asad's tear drop cascaded down her cheek...

"Zoyaaa!!" he shouted.

She stopped and looked back. He had seen Asad in distress so many times but this was new...this was the worst!! He looked insane...

She took a step in his direction but felt a tug at her hand. She looked down to see that Humi was holding her wrist...shaking her head in a no. Zoya wanted to cry at that moment...she was literally being teared apart by her desire to calm Asad down and to go with Humeira. Then she got reminded of Humi's words from few hours back...

"He will miss you for few days and then will forget you..."

"More time with each other...means more attachment..." Haseena's voice rang out from somewhere in her mind.

.

.

.

"He will miss you for few days and then will forget you..."

"More time with each other...means more attachment..."

"...miss you...

forget you..."

"More time...

Attachment...

.

.

.

These words keep on repeating in Zoya's head until she forced her ears shut. Humi and Dilshad looked at her puzzled, "Zoya...Zoya are you okay?" Humi asked concerned.

"y-yes...yes...I am!"

"Lets's go..."

"Yes!!"

"NOO!" Asad shouted. He was standing at his place seeing Zoya standing at a spot...once she picked up her bag again he panicked and rushed to her.

"Zoya...don't leave!! Please!"

"Asad I have to go..."

"Zo..ya...please..."

"Asad...understand...pl-"

"No...No!! No...I won't..."

Zoya closed her eyes not able to contain herself and a few tears garnished her rosy cheeks.

"Zoya...I will not bother you...i will bring you flowers...I will sleep at time...I won't shout and scream...I will behave good with your sister...but please don't leave Zoya...please!! Please..."

Dil ki gaagar se saat sagar se chhalke hai toh kyon yeh
Paancho dariya bhi hairaan ho gaye

ZOYA'S POV:

I felt my heart bursting with emotions. I never felt this way when I was leaving my house...my own parents...when I left my city...I never felt this way. My heart goes out for him...everytime I see him in pain. Why?? We are not meant to be together...we are not...but I can't see him in pain...

Suddenly I felt a tug at my hand. I saw Humi looking at me expectantly. This girl was always there for me through thick and thin. She was the reason for my every smile till Asad came into my life. She pulled me out of my miseries and cried with me...till Asad came. How can I forget her? She is my pillar of strength!! She's my sister...

She's right...if I spend time with Asad, he'll get used to me and then it will be difficult for him. No! I can't give him pain...I have to leave...I have to!!

"Zoyaaa..." Asad had no energy left but he was taking her name as a holy chant.

He was walking behind Zoya till she'd reached the front gate. She was going to step out when Asad held her dupatta. When Zoya turned around, she once again felt herself dying thousand times seeing his condition. He was holding the edge of her dupatta in his hands while his palms covered his face...he cried bitterly...kneeling down on the ground.

Teriyan mohabbatan ne haqq bhi diye hain
Teriyan mohabbatan ne dukh bhi diye hain
Tere bina lakh vaari marr ke jiye hain
Mainda toh hai, rab kho gaya

Humi was herself at the verge of crying but her well-wishes for Zoya took priority over every emotion and her sense of humanity. She grabbed Zoya's hand and jerked her towards the gate. Zoya looked at her tearfully but she ignored...she dragged her outwards. Zoya just let herself being dragged...she accepted her fate yet again...whatever her Allah Miyaan had planned for her...she gave into it.

Jab jab chaaha tune rajj ke rulaaya
Jab jab chaaha tune khul ke hasaaya
Jab jab chaaha tune khud mein milaaya
Ik tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi

Here Humeira was dragging Zoya while Asad tightly held onto her dupatta...due to the tug war...it was torn into two pieces, one of which remained tightly clutched in Asad's hands...

Due to the tearing of the dupatta, Asad fell down backwards with a jerk. He steadied himself soon and looked back towards where Zoya was...but she was not there...he gasped...he whipped his head in every direction...and finally saw Zoya...she was sitting in a cab...

He gathered his lost strength and stood up...staggering...

He heard the engine come to life...he suddenly became alert...

He ran...ran with all his might...

Just as he stepped out of the gate...the car started moving...and he sped up...but he was a human afterall...that too a lost, defeated one...he couldn't match that machine...which zoomed past him in a blink of eye...

Jab jab chaaha tune rajj ke rulaaya
Jab jab chaaha tune khul ke hasaaya
Jab jab chaaha tune khud mein milaaya

Losing his strength, which his angel took away with her, he fell down lifeless on the ground...a man without his soul...

A broken man...with no one to hold him...and he screamed...venting out his frustration...his anger at not being able to stop her...

"ZOOOYAAA!!!!"

Ik tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi
Ik tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi tu hi
