It was 7 at night ..and still she didn't come from god knows where she went Asad thought as he paced right to left in the hall tensed..
He thought to call up and ask her ..But he didn't had her number with him ..Now he cursed himself for being absent minded and wondered what to do ..He thought to call his mother ..
"Hello ," he said ...
"Asallam walekum Asad" she said as she found him as the caller ..
"Walekum Asallam Ammi," he said .and continued "Ammi yeh Ms.Farooqui ghar pe nahi hai " he said not wasting time ..
"Asad , Zoya apni Ammi ki ghar gayi thi ab vahi hogi .."she said as she remembered her talking to go to her mother's home..
"Ammi , raat ki saath ho chuki hai vo ab tak nahi aayi , Unhe aani chahiye tha ab tak .".he stated ...
"Asad, Bechari uski Ammi se hi toh milne gayi hai ., Dher hogayi hogi ,..Tum khud jake le aao use
ghar jao .."she reasoned ..
"Ammi, mujhe unki ghar nahi patha, "he said not willing to go ...
"Asad ! Mein address msg karthi hun , tum khud jaake leke aaogi meri bahu ko ghar samjha ! "she scolded ..
"Ammi, agar unhe jaane ki rastha patha hai toh vo khud aa bhi sakthi hai .."he replied back ..
"Asad ! Tum janthe ho na ek ladki ke liye raath mein akele sadak pe chalna safe nahi hai ..Phir
bhi tum inte ghair zimedar baathein kaise karte ho Asad ?" she tried to make some sense
"Ammi, ghair zimedar mein nahi aapki bahu hai ..aap address msg kijiye mein khud jaake le aathi hum unhe .."he siad not worried about her safety ..
"That's like a good boy .."she said smiling ..
"Ammi, aur unki..unki number bhi "he said stammering ..
"Ya allah, Tum apne biwi ki number bhi nahi jaanthe "she said faking shock ..
"Ammi, pls..Aap number msg kijiye mein rakthi hun Allah Hafiz ,"he said and ended the call ..
Soon , he got the message and drived away to the address she gave ...By, the time he reached the address he saw a small house before him..He felt it to be very familiar but couldn't relate to it ..
He got down from the car and moved to the entrance of the house ..
What he saw , shocked him he looked stunned ..
There Zoya went to her Mother's home to see her mother all alone in home ..She was paralayzed and she was not able to walk or do some work ..so she always had Humeria with her to help her in needs ..But since she had exams coming she had to go to college ..
She went to her mother and soon made lunch for her and gave medicines to her .Soon her mother got to ask her about her married life and Zoya tried her best to show herself happy before her mother and lied to her about being happy there and Asad being nice to her ..
She didn't want to do that but, even she didn't had other choice ,she didn't want to hurt mother more ..
Soon, they kept talking and time passed and Humeira returned and she helped them for her exam and made dinner for them and she was feeding her mother with her hands and she fed her back ..
That's how Asad saw her , sitting on the floor beside her mother's wheel chair and feeding her and a girl standing near her maybe her sister he thought ..
He didn't know that her mother was paralayzed he didn't know anything about her ..She was a stranger to him .
He knocked at the door making them look at him ..She looked at him and that's when she remembered that she had to go to her sasural ..
She was now confused seeing him as she didn't want her mother to know about her equation with him .Now she was more tensed as she didn't know what ot do if he said about their problem to her mother ..
Soon, her mother recognized him to be Asad, as she has seen him in his childhood ..."Asad " she called out ..He was surprised ,he has never met them then how did she got to know him ..
He looked at her ..."andar aao beta vahan kyun khade ho ?"she said as he was still standing outside ..
He nodded and came in ..
"Jeeju !" humeira shrieked as she saw him ..she was pestering Zoya to call Asad to talk to him..But zoya didn't want to do as she was not sure how Asad would react ..
"Jeeju kaise hai aap ? "she asked all happy to see her sister's husband ..
"Mein aacha hun "he said smiling slightly ...
"Asad yahan aao .." Zainab called out to him ., whom humeira as stopped at near the door itself .
He came and knelt down near her and looked at her .."Yeh soch rahe ho ki meinne tumhe kaise pehchana ? "she asked caressing his head lovingly . He nodded still looking at her intently ."Meine tumhe tumhare bachpan mein dekha hai "..she said kissing his forehead..He smiled at her ..
"Mein Zoya ko ghar le aane aaya tha .."he said looking at zoya ,who was standing at there quitlely watching the scene unfolding before her ..
That's when they remembered Zoya had to go from there ..she called her to come ..She came forward and knelt down at the other side of Zainab ,teary-eyed ..
Both daughter -mother hugged each other not wanting that moment to end ..Tears freely flowed from Zoya's eyes as she closed her eyes and huggged her mother tight ..
Asad kept looking at them quitely not wanting to disturb them ..Zainab pulled away and wiped the tears from zoya's eyes and tried to sound happy ..
"Arre tum aisi kyun ro rahi ho jaisi tum kahi bahut dur jaa rahi ho ? yahi toh hun mein "she said wiping her tears away ..
Ammi, she weepd ..
"Zoya bas ..bas , ab rona band karo aur jao ready ho jao .. "she said ,trying to not break down before her and make the situation more tougher for her ..
She nodded and went upstairs to chage her dress and get ready with humeira in tow ..
"Asad, jao sofa pe baitho yahan neeche kyun baithe ho ? "she asked as she saw him sitting on the floor ..
He shook his head in negative and still sat beside her and tried to talk with her ..
"Aap ,..aap kaisi hai ?" he asked still not finding words to talk..
"Hmm,Mein teekh hun..."she said smiling at him ..
"Aap mujhe kaise jaanthe hai ?" he asked as he couldn't remember meeting her before , even though she said she saw him in childhood , he was curious to know ..how..
"Asad ! mein tumhari ammi ki dost hun , Zainab ..Bachpan mein tum yahi rehthe the kuch din ke liye tumhari Ammi , ayaan aur najma ke saath .."she said ..
Asad remembered it just by hearing the name , He with his siblings was brought here to this same house by his mother when his father cheated them and ..They would have been in streets if she was not there for them .She was the one who helped them and gave hope to live on ...
He looked at her remembering everything that took place, he had tears in his eyes ...He knelt down on his knees getting up from the sitting posture and hugged her tightly ...Not in his worst dreams he thought that they would meet again like this ..she was paralyzed ..She was fine at that time ..After a year of stay in their home they moved to Mumbai ..Never after that he got to meet her again ...
He had so many questions running in his mind ..He pulled away from her and looked at her ..Both had tears in their eyes ..It was a long gap , nearly 17 years ..She smiled through her tears and kissed his forehead. He hugged her again not willing to believe whatever has happened .
That's how Zoya saw them when she returned down,.. There her heart was beating like she was in marathon race, not knowing what was happening down ..and here they both were hugging each other as if they met after ages..
"Ammi, "she called .and Asad pulled away and kissed both her hands and looked at her thankfully .
"Asad , mein tum se kuch puchun ? "she asked ..He nodded ..
Now Zoya was much worried ..
"Zoya yahan aao ," she called her and took her hand in one hand and other with Asad's and kept it in Asad's hand ," vaada karo mujhse ki tum Zoya ko hamesha khush rakoge" she asked ..
Now , Both Asad and Zoya looked at each other confused ..."Asad" she called , he came out of his revive and nodded his head teary-eyed assuring her he will fulfil his wish ..with that Zainab's face lit up , Asad smiled seeing her happy , atleast he could do that much for her ..But Zoya was shocked to see that ..
And Soon , Zainab kissed both Asad and Zoya's forehead and asked them to go ..Zoya lastly hugged her mother and sister and waved bye to them and got into the car ..
The car ride was in scilence , One not knowing what happened and one eager to know what happened before ,For a change Asad tried to break the scilence
"Ms.Farooqui aapki Ammi ko , I mean ..aapki ammi ko kya hua ?"he asked trying to know the reason behind her disability..
"Actually, ek accident mein her legs got paralyzed , "she said not wanting to open upto him..
"Aapne unhe kabhi cure karne ki nahi socha ? "he asked further ..
"We tried par , aapko iss baat se kya faraq padtha hai ? aap ko itni fiqr kyun hai meri ammi ki? "she asked rudely not wanting him to intrude in her personal life ..
He glared at her and cursed himself for talking to her , iss se aacha hota agar mein ammi se hi puch leti ..he thought and hit the car steering in anger ..
She turned her head to see out of the window ..She hated pity ..She didn't like people's pity-ness on her and her family when they got to know about their disability ..
Thus, the ride back to home was filled with the scilence ..Soon, they reached home and zoya rushed to kitchen and started making Dinner for him ..
Asad went to his room and got freshened up and was doing some office work ...when zoya saw the lunch box on the dinning table ..she went and took the lunch bag and opened it to find a empty box ..She was so happy seeing that , at least he ate it forget about the praising part she thought and went back to cook, smiling to herself ..
Dinner was prepared , Zoya went to call him for Dinner ..She knocked twice on his door and asked him to come for dinner ..He simply nodded and went back to work ..
She went back and set-ed the table ready ,
He came and sat down on his chairman chair. and started arraning all the things once again in his way ..Zoya looked at him shocked Allah Miya yeh kitne Systematic hai - she thought to herself and moved to serve him ..When he signed her to stop and served himself ...She murmered something and went back to kitchen ..
"Ahem ," he cleared his throat ..She looked back from the sink .
"Aap khana nahi khayi ? "he asked looking anywhere but not at her ..
"Nahi , Mr.Khan mein ammi ki ghar mein hi kha liya "she said getting back to her work ..
He nodded and went back to his room ..
Then she finished washing the dishes and went back to her room , changed into her night dress and took her note pad from her suitcase and started writting down something ..
"Scooty shift karni hai Ammi ki ghar se , Job search karna hai , and kuch nahi pehle yeh dono kaam ho jaye phir dekhthe hai .."she said and thought to talk about this to Asad later ..
She decided to sleep hence switched off the light and closed her eyes ...But still she couldn't sleep she remembered her mother and Asad in embrace looking teary -eyed ..She couldn't understand what happened ..Do they know each other before ? no ! they probably couldn't ..Then how did they behave so normal ..She left to deal with it later ..and closed her eyes shut ..and tried to sleep ..
On the other side , Asad had so much unanswered questions , How did he missed them before ? How did he forgot his Zainab Ammi ? How did she got suffer this much ? What happened to her ? If Zoya was her Daughter , then did he met her in his childhood ? he didn't remember much about it ..
He left to talk about this to his mother later ..and tried to sleep ..
