BANNER CREDITS- ImmortalLove😊

2 days later:

DEAR DIARY!

It has been two days since we are here...in Chandigarh. My new job is cool and I am glad Zoya is back with me. She has undergone so much in life...I don't want her to be sad anymore. However she's not the same...that Zoya whose eyes smiled whenever I cracked a joke, is gone. Is it because of Asad?? No...no!! I am thinking too much into it.Living for almost 5 months with a person can have same effects on any one!! She'd just made him her habit...she'll be fine in a week I guess. I'll take her to her favorite pizzeria tomorrow. She'll be happy in a minute.

Diary, Zoya wanted to call Dilshad aunty today and I denied. I did a right thing na??

.

.

.

FLASHBACK:

Humeira came from her office tired and exhausted. She called out for Zoya, "Zoee!! Where are you?"

"I am here...take this!" she said offering water. Just for a second, Humeira imagined Asad standing with a tray offering her water like this, few days back. A pang of guilt washed over her as she remembered her absurd behavior.

"Humi!! What are you thinking about?"

"N..Nothing Zoya...I am just tired."

"Oh! But Humi, why are we here in Chandigarh? You told me that you'll get a job in Shimla..."

"Yes, but that was taking too much time and I wanted to reach you as soon as possible. I have to take you out of there."

Humi smacked herself mentally when she saw Zoya's smile being wiped off her face. She squeezed her hand gently.

"Humi, I think I should call Khala and ask about Asad."

"No! Zoya what's wrong with you. If you keep calling like that he'll be more troubled...how will he cope up with the situation and try to adjust?? Let him be for a while...don't call them or he'll again go frantic. You saw na how difficult it was for him that day...give him time Zoee...please!"

Zoya tried to nod and got up without saying a word more...

FLASHBACK ENDS...

I think it was right...maybe...

Humi closed her diary and looked at Zoya who was sleeping peacefully on the bed. She kept the diary in the confines of her drawer and went to sit besides Zoya. She caressed her forehead and pushed back the fringes of hairs that disturbed her. Moonlight was illuminating her face and she looked like a princess while sleeping...so serene and calm. Humi was just going to turn around when she saw something weird on her cheek. Adjusting her face, she looked closely and gasped when she realized what it was...dried tear stains!!

"Was she crying??"

IN KASAULI:

"Aaj do din ho gaye Asad. Kuch toh kha lo...dekho...maine tumhara pasandeeda aloo parantha banaya hai! Asad...beta...Beta..."

Ye dil tanha kyun rahe
Kyun hum tukdon mein jiye
Ye dil tanha kyun rahe
Kyun hum tukdon mein jiyein
Kyun rooh meri ye sahe
Main adhoora jee raha hoon
Hardum ye keh raha hoon
Mujhe teri zaroorat hai
Mujhe teri zaroorat hai

Dilshad tried talking to Asad and making him speak but it was like he was not recognizing her at all. He just glanced at her whenever she spoke but never replied back. He hadn't eaten a morsel properly since Zoya left. Dilshad tried forcing him but he didn't budge at all. He just kept staring at the door...hoping that any moment, his angel will swing it open and laugh loudly while telling him about her antics. The only time when he smiled was when he saw Najma...and that too a faint one...not for Najma...but for the baby in her womb.

"Allah! Why are you punishing my children? I know...if Asad is like this...Zoya will be no better! Grace them with your mercy..."

A WEEK LATER:

"Zoyaa! Since when you started saying no to a pizza? It had been more than a week. Let's go sightseeing...today is a Sunday...and then we'll have a pizza for dinner. What say?"

"I don't feel like going Humi..."

"Zoya what's the matter? Why are you behaving so strange?"

"Nothing...just a light headache..."

"Since a week? Didn't you get a better excuse?"

"Humi, new place and new climate...I'll take some time to adjust.."

"Okay then...next Sunday!! Done??"

"Okay..."

KASAULI:

"I don't know what to do? I am trying to contact Zoya...but didn't get it through. Agar ek baar baat ho jati toh accha hota..."

Haseena consoled a sobbing Dilshad while they sat and looked at Asad from a distance. He seemed unconcerned about them. He just kept staring at the door and mumbling something...which they couldn't hear but the despair on his face told them that he was missing Zoya...badly!!

Andheron se tha mera rishta bada
Tune hi ujaalon se waaqif kiya
Ab lauta main hoon inn andheron mein phir
Toh paaya hai khud ko begaana yahaan
Tanhaayi bhi mujhse khafaa ho gayi
Banjaron ne bhi thukra diya

"Dilshad bi! Did he talk to you? About Zoya? about anything?"

"No! Kuch keh hi nai raha hai...bas chup chap baitha rehta hai...agar main kuch puchun toh jawab bhi nai deta...I can't understand what should I do now?"

"Aap chinta mat kijiye...main Azaad se baat karti hoon!" Haseena said softly to which Dilshad nodded.

Main adhoora jee raha hoon
Khud par hi ik sazaa hoon
Mujhe teri zaroorat hai
Mujhe teri zaroorat hai

TWENTY DAYS PASSED since Zoya left Asad. If at one hand, Asad was lost, Zoya was no less...her condition was even worse. Asad showed his broken self completely...but Zoya was bound...she can't break down in front of Humi and she even couldn't hold herself when she thought about Asad. She was being crushed...she was feeling as if a part of her was missing. She kept awake whole nights in a row...kept lying in bed in the same posture so that Humi doesn't find out about her insomnia. She kept rewinding all those moments she spent with Asad...in a time that was her personal space...her own moments when she cried...missed Asad without any hindrance...withdrew the snaps of them together from under her pillow and kept gazing lovingly at them for hours...she was missing Asad badly and with each passing day, it was becoming more difficult to tolerate it...the distance...the lack of communication. Well, almost 100 times a day, she'd have an urge to go to Humi and tell her that she wanted to see him but she held herself. What was the reason that she was not at peace since she got separated from Asad? She couldn't answer this question whenever it popped up in her mind. Defeated, she let herself cry some more and try to make some peace with her situation...but Asad's memories were like a shadow to her...wherever she went, she found herself surrounded by those. Day by day, she got one thing clear... that something was wrong with her, something that was deep...and she was not missing Asad now. She was yearning!! Yes!! To touch him, to feel him...run her fingers in his hairs...hide his face in her chest...see him smile...eat...to take a stroll with him...to sit in front of him whenever he drew a sketch of her. All these thoughts scared her, was she losing herself?

Hmm.. tere jism ki woh khushbuein
Ab bhi inn saanson mein zinda hai
Mujhe ho rahi inse ghutan
Mere gale ka ye phanda hai

Was she really missing Asad because he was her habit since five freaking months?? Blank...that was the state of her mind whenever she pondered over this matter...but her fluttering heart, singing praises of Asad, told her that whatever she was feeling about her HUSBAND was not the matter to seriously think upon...but it was a matter of heart, to listen to the tune that it played...dance to its rhythm...and let herself fall deeper and deeper into the infinite depths of the sea called LOVE...

KASAULI, NINE DAYS LATER:

"Haseena Bi...Najma!! Did you see Asad? He's not at home...I've looked for him everywhere..." Dilshad cried out loudly.

"Don't worry...we'll look for him," Hassena assured.

They went to every possible place together and kept shouting for Asad but he couldn't be found. With each passing second, Dilshad's heart was sinking...What if he'd done something wrong? No...NO!! Keep my Asad safe...

They reached the lake at last. They'd asked every person but couldn't find him...Dilshad felt like crying. They turned around to leave when she heard the sound of splashing of water. While they followed the sound and reached its source, their hearts melted on seeing such a heart-warming site. Asad was holding the piece of Zoya's dupatta in his hand, that remained with him due to the struggle on the day when Zoya left and was gazing at it lovingly...as if getting to feel her in it.

Ho.. tere choodiyon ki woh khanak
Yaadon ke kamre mein goonje hai
Sunkar isey aata hai yaad
Haathon mein mere zanjeerin hain
Tuhi aake inko nikaal zaraa
Kar mujhe yahaan se rihaa

He occasionally picked up a pebble and threw it in the lake and then mumbled something to that non-living piece of a cloth.

CHANDIGARH:

Zoya was sleeping peacefully as Humi has forced her to take a nap. They'd gone to shop for some essentials when Zoya felt dizzy and she almost fell down. Humi very carefully brought her home and was now working on her laptop and simultaneously keeping an eye on Zoya. She'd noticed the dark circles making place beneath her beautiful eyes but whenever she questioned Zoya, she either refused smilingly or diverted the topic. Humi was sure that she even skips her meals most of the times when she was not around. More and more Humi thought about Zoya's heart-wrenching condition, more she became sure that the root cause of her miseries was Asad. She'd seen her hiding her and Asad's snaps under her pillows. What she was not sure...or was trying to neglect was the fact that Asad has made a deep...very deep place in Zoya's heart. That fact scared her...What if Zoya had fallen for Asad? How can I find out? What if Asad is in the same condition as Zoya? Will I be able to forgive myself if I am the cause of this separation that these two people in love are going through? Tears coursed down through Humi's eyes when she recalled Asad's pleas from the day when she forced Zoya to come with her. As she remembered the madness in his eyes, she felt guilty for snatching away the only source of his happiness from him. She nodded in denial when she almost concluded that she is causing all these problems in Zoya's life. Had she become so selfish in her drive to keep Zoya protected that she'd snatched her love?

Humeira jerked out from her thoughts when she heard Zoya mumbling something in her sleep. She got up to go near her when she saw her bolting up while screaming Asad's name fearfully.

"Zoya!!" Humi rushed to her and took hr in her arms.

"I have to go...Asad...he ...he's calling me...he needs me!" Zoya was talking to herself, Humi's words just felt on deaf ears.

"Zoya...Zoya..."

"Asad...don't go...Asad! I am coming!" she was still lost.

Humi tried jerking Zoya but she was mumbling Asad's name as if in a daze. Defeated, Humi slapped her and when she looked at her finally, she took Zoya in her embrace and let her cry freely.

"Zoya...shh...shh...it was just a dream."

"No! No! Humi...he was calling me...he was trying to hold me...I have to go back Humi!! I can't see him like that..." she cried for Asad.

"Zoya...Zoya...we'll go tomorrow."

"Will we?" Zoya asked in a broken voice as if unable to believe that Humeira agreed to take her to Asad.

"But you have to answer one of my question...Why do you want to go back?"

Zoya looked up and blinked at Humeira. She looked down again, finding the answer to her question, deep within. She closed her eyes and prayed to Allah Miyaan to show her the right path and just as on a cue...Asad's face appeared from nowhere and she smiled.

Humeira noticed all those expressions that played on Zoya's face and sighed. Just then Zoya opened her eyes...a new found happiness enlightened her face with a glow that Humi had never seen...a glow of determination and acceptance. Humi raised her brows and Zoya said it finally,

"I LOVE HIM...I LOVE MY ASAD!! I LOVE HIM...I LOVE HIM HUMI!!"

Main adhoora jee raha hoon
Ye sadaayein de rahaa hoon
Mujhe teri zaroorat hai
Mujhe teri zaroorat hai

Humeira was on one hand happy for her as well as feared the future that was awaiting Zoya if she got back to Asad. Keeping all that aside, she just focused on Zoya and her feelings for now.

"You love him?"

"I love him..." She said, more like repeating it to herself. She liked how those words sounded to her own ears.

"Zoya! Do you know what you are saying? You came with me a month back, leaving him by himself. Are you sure? I mean..." Humi was cut short when Zoya suddenly started sobbing, hiding her face in her palms.

"I was wrong Humi...I did a big mistake. I can't live without Asad!!"

"But he doesn't understand all these feelings Zoya...you know that...right?"

"I don't want to know what he feels...I know that I love him and that's all I want to know...I will make him love me Humi...I will !! He has to understand those feelings that I have for him. If my love for him is true...he'll someday or the other realise it. I'll wait for it...1 day...2 days...100 days...1 year...100 years..." Zoya broke down while confessing her feelings. It was like a heavy weight was suddenly uplifted from upon her...the flow of emotions that she was beholding since a month came crushing the dam of her threshold...her pain...the hidden feelings flowed out continuously with no necessity to hold back.

Zoya suddenly realized that how she left Asad. She remembered his every move...his every word while he was trying to stop her. Her heart broke and she bowed her head down in shame. She whispered shamefully, "I did very wrong. Humi, I left him wailing for me. Will he forgive me if I go back? Will he talk to me? Will he laugh with me like that? Will he...will he trust me again?"

Though Humeira herself had no answers for Zoya's questions but she has to calm her down somehow. "Zoya...it was not your fault. Somewhere I was responsible for it. I shouldn't have forced my judgement and decision on you. I am sorry! I really am...it's because of me you left him."

Zoya remembered the promise that she made to Humeira, "I promised you..." she whispered.

"I free you from any such hindrance that keeps you away from your happiness. That promise was to make you safe...to make you move on, but I never knew that Asad will make such a place in your heart. Zoya just go back to him and claim what is yours!!!!!" Humi said while side-hugging Zoya.

"I will make him alright Humi...he will have to fight his fears for me...for US!!'

Zoya had taken a new resolution...she would go to any limit for her Asad. She decided to go back and fight all adversities that stood in front of them...her and Asad. She got excited over the prospect of seeing him after so many days. She was wide awake now...dreaming of her new future, with eyes wide open.

NEXT MORNING:

Zoya got ready first thing in the morning and packed her bags. She took about an hour to decide what to wear. She rejected several clothes by stating something or the other...Humi was tired of her drama but kept quite as she was seeing her happy after so many days. Suddenly, Zoya came across something that cought her eyes...the red saree which Asad gave her...which belonged to Zainab. She smiled shyily seeing that...she decided to get ready in that, like a new bride, ready to go to her husband in a saree given by her mother-in-law.

She drapped the saree and sat in front of the mirror. Humi brushed her long hairs and put on dangling golden earrings. She made her wear red bangles and put kohl in her eyes. With this mini-makeover, she was ready to go to her life...her love, Asad.

Humeira went to see her off and promised to see her at the weekend when she'll get a day off. As the bus started moving, Zoya's heart started speeding up too. How would he react seeing her back? Will he be simply happy or something more? Her long hairs, which she had let loose were now flowing freely with the breeze that caressed her face...playing with them, she drifted off to sleep thinking about the surprised look on Asad's face when he'll see her.

Zoya woke up when the bus has almost reached Kasauli. As soon as the bus halted, she strided towards the door while the other passengers gave her weird looks which she ignored and got down in a jiffy. She hailed a rickshaw and gave him the address. As her home was nearing, she felt waves of happiness wash over her...one moment she was happy and excited while just after a second, she felt nervous and dizzy. "Asad!" she whispered to herself and put her hand on her raging heart...

She got down and bolted the gate open. She covered the distance to the door as soon as she could walk and rang the bell. She waited for few minutes and repeated her action when no one opened the door. She waited impatiently and re-rang the bell few more times. She grew anxious and was turning around to go to the back door when she noticed something and that made her stop dead in her tracks. Her suitcase slipped out of her hand and she stumbled few steps back...

THE DOOR WAS LOCKED...

HMMM!! SHOCKED ENOUGH??? WHERE HAS ASAD GONE? WILL ZOYA FIND HIM EVER? AND HOW?

AFTER THAT HEAVY DUTY UPDATE, THIS WAS A TRY TO MAKE YOU ALL REALISE ZOYA'S CONDITION TOO. FINALLY SHE ACCEPTED DEFEAT TO HER HEART AND CAME BACK TO HER RIGHT PLACE. BUT IS SHE LATE ENOUGH?

FOR GETTING THE ANSWERS...STAY TUNED!! TILL THEN LEAVE YOUR VIEWS AND SUGGESTIONS...

CYA SOON...

Beautifully written! And omg banjaara is like my favorite song right now and coincidently I was listening to it while reading the story! I think it really added more emotion and depth to the story!

Chapter 8 and 9;
Aww I love how close Asad and Zoya were getting but it was equally heartbreaking when Zoya was about to leave. And I completely understand Humeira's perspective as well. I just hope that tey reunite and confess soon!
