Hello everyone! This one was there in my mind since long and I finally decided to post it. This will be of 3 parts most probably. Its inspired from one of most favorite movie " Jab We Met" but the story wont be same it is quite different. I don't know how it is written so please do leave your reviews.
I hope you people like it! Happy reading!!
The sun rose, marking its presence and making the sky look even more beautiful. The birds were chirping, grass was swaying with the refreshing wind while the breeze of winter mornings filled the surroundings. Unaware of these things, there slept a girl, snuggling in the quilt, sunlight kissing her face, highlighting her angel like features... Milky white skin, jet black hairs, button nose, big baby eyes, and that small smile playing on her lips, but suddenly her smiling visage was exchanged by frown, a deep frown. Her eyes twitched, hands went up flying in the air and started moving as if calling out for someone. " are!! Ruko!! Stop!! Please someone stop the train, are koi chain khicho, are stop"!! and she suddenly jerked up, she looked around and after a few moments registered that it was her home, her room, her bed. She looked around and sighed, raking her hand in her hair. She removed the quilt and went to the side table to drink water. As she kept the glass back, she looked at her mobile phone. Picking it up, she unlocked the password and moved towards the gallery. She caressed the picture in it. She sighed and kept her phone back on the table.
Girl : phir wahi khwab!! Hmm kaha hai aap janab??
She looked towards the watch and realized she still have a little time, she went and again snuggled in the quilt and closed her eyes, Letting sleep engulf her, once again taking her into the dream world. This girl was none other than "Zoya... Zoya farooqui", fondly known as chatterbox, well why, you will soon come to know that!!
_*-------------------------*
His eyes scrunched up, his hands flew up towards his eyes, trying to block the sunlight. He turned towards the other side but too late. He woke up yawning and shook his head. He sighed and raked his hand in his hairs. He looked towards the window and scrunched his nose in annoyance. Removing the quilt, he walked towards the window and drew the curtains. He turned to go, when suddenly his gaze went towards the laptop. He smiled and picked it up and switched it on. He moved towards the secret folder and clicked it open. He looked towards the screen who now had a picture of a beautiful angel smiling and looking towards the setting sun. The light highlighted her features. He caressed her face and kept the laptop back. He sighed sadly but then again smiled. " apke bina na ab subah hoti hai na hi sham dhalti hai, kaha hai app?"..
He went to the washroom to get ready and start a new day, a new phase of life. His orbs now shone with happiness, and cheeks witnessed the sweet dents formed. He was none other than " Khan...Asad Ahmed Khan".
*----------------------------------*
Zoya's eyes scrunched again when she heard her younger sister barge in with a huge force, not her fault , it was her teaching that she played. She marched towards Zoya and in a second unveiled her sister by snatching the quilt. Zoya shot up in annoyance and rage while the girl just cutely poked her tongue out and pointed towards the watch that hanged on the wall. Zoya's gaze flew upto the clock and the next moment she ran, ran and stumbled, each time forgetting the next thing to take. Finally after 5 minutes she entered the washroom to get ready while her sister shook her head at her. Her sister was none other than sweet and simple yet naughty "Humera Farooqui". Humera smiled at her sister and arranged the bed, when she heard her sister calling out for her, asking to lay the breakfast and keep her handbag on the bed. She sighed and shook her head. Humera quickly did as commanded and was laying table when finally her sister arrived, clad in a yellow anarkali with broad pink borders which reached till ground and had pink color border at edges of upper part in a shrug style which ended up with two strings tied up on the upper part . Her ears adored a set of beautiful yellow and pink long earrings and a pink handbag. Her hairs were open which bounced every time she jumped from one stair to another. She hurried towards the table and sat and quickly took the sandwich in one and juice in other. She started stuffing them into her mouth when her mother finally called out and she stopped and banged the table. She turned around smiling and her mother...smiled for a change, which was unusual mostly it was a glare or a long lecture. She smelled that something was fishy but neglected. She went back to have her breakfast while her mother spoke while walking towards the kitchen.
Zeenat : Zoya!! Aj school se jaldi ajana, vese bhi Saturday hai , tere school m half day hai na, to jaldi ajana!!
Zoya : ammi!! Ye apko hua kya hai? Aj late hone par no dat, ye nayi anarkali pehne ko bola, school se jaldi ana, everything alright?
Zeenat : of course, everything okay!! Kyu, tujhe lagta hai ki teri mumma sirf kuch kam nikal wane ke liye hi, tere liye karegi? Kya Zoya esi soch hei teri?
Zoya : nahi nahi mumma!! She went and hugged her form back. Ese kese? Apto meri mumma ho, ye karna to banta hi hai!! Acha chalo, now I m going varna late hojaungi! Bye!!
She wished and walked out towards the door when she suddenly remembered she forgot her mobile phone which was plugged in for charging, but when she turned around she saw her mother and her sister giggling and high-fived each other. She narrowed her eyes when they registered her presence. They just smiled at her and went back to their work while she took her phone still looking suspiciously at them. She walked out and made her way towards the school.
*---------------------------------------------*
He brushed his hairs and looked into the mirror and smiled and suddenly a dialogue crossed his mind, " please !! please smile kar kariye, ap par ye kafi suit karti hai, plus apke ye dimples, ap nahi jante kitne cute hai!!"..
He straightened up himself when he saw his brother standing behind him looking through the mirror and whistling. He started tying his watch and kept his files while his brother kept singing, "kyu itna tum muskura rahe ho...kya gum, na na correction, kya raaz hai jiske chupa rahe ho", at which Asad rolled his eyes. He finally turned around and glared him but he just grinned like anything and then finally he felt a blow on his head which he rubbed his head.
Brother : ow!! Bhaijaan kya tha ye!! Galti apki aur mujhe pit rahe ho!! Na jane kitna waqt beet gaya hai ye gana gakar, par apka jawab to mahino se pending hai!!
Asad walked out to the kitchen where his mother and sister stood. Mother while making food while his sister busy describing something that took place. They both replied me, while his sister came and hugged him and asked if he could drop her to college
Asad : of course Najma!! And Mr.Ayaan ap please mujhe pareshan karna band kare, varna phirse mujhe ese [ he again blew on his head] karne m der nahi lagegi!
Ayaan rubbed his head but then again grinned looking towards Najma, while Najma cannot stop herself from giggling but they tried when Dilshad, their mother glared but the next moment even she started giggling. Joining them came their father, Rashid. Asad was confused seeing all of them giggling and the next moment when everyone saw his expression, they burst out laughing. Asad was literally C.O.N.F.U.S.E.D. after a while finally giggling they stopped. Asad sat on the chair eating his breakfast and saw his siblings whispering and giggling to each other.
Asad : ammi! Ye aj ek mayan m do talware ...kese?
Najma : bhaijaan!! Uhu!! Chalo ab late horaha hai!!
Asad got up to leave as he was leaving he heard his mother calling him. She asked him to come home in the noon while he was confused, she just shoved it saying its for some important work, he nodded and went towards the porch.
*---------------------------------*
Zoya entered the school while her students greeted her. She smiled and greeted them back. After the assembly, she started teaching. The first period was in other class, so she went to the class. It was English', so she asked all of them to open their books. As she asked her students which chapter they wanted to do, they replied with the number. As it was the last 2 months left, they didn't have any exams coming up so they can complete the leftover syllabus with any order. She went through the chapter and smiled. She closed the book and kept it n the table. She had a habit to give a detail summary of the chapter and then explain.
Zoya : please everyone, close your books. So as you have selected this chapter, let me give an overview. Here this one is narrated by the author itself. It is about an incident he has described. So here he is on a ride, in a train where he meets one of his old pal and...
She continued to give the details about it while the student listened it very carefully and enjoyed when she cracked up a joke in between. After giving the brief of the story she started asking about their point of views and experiences which were relevant to the story as there was only 10 minutes left.
The conversation had an end now when suddenly she heard two of her students speaking to each other. " Train journeys m kitni maza ati h na? I really enjoy them and love them...". she smiled to herself and mumbled " indeed train journeys are very special ".
It was noon by now. Students left hours before, only teachers were left completing their works. Her work was almost complete when she received a message from her father. She opened it and smiled.
From : Popzi
" Zoya bache, I am returning home and passing by your school, I know your work would have been finished by now, I will be there in five minutes, be ready. Love you shona!!"
She shook her head at his message and smiled. She picked her handbag adjusted her hairs and made her way out and saw her father standing and waiting for her. She ran and hugged him and sat in the car.
*------------------------------------*
Asad returned home as per guidance of Dilshad and saw some preparations going on. All were well dressed and were arranging something. As soon as Dilshad saw him she asked him to change into the clothes which were kept on the bed. Confused, he walked towards his room and changed. After dressing up properly, he came out and saw everyone waiting for him. As soon as they saw him, Najma and Ayaan literally dragged him to the car. His father went to the drivers seat and his mother sat in the front while Ayaan, Asad and Najma at the back. Ayaan went and sat while Asad silently pulled Najma's hair while she winced. He asked what's going on, showing her favourite chocolates, she smiled and was about to answer when Dilshad said she have two of them and Najma smiled and went towards the car and sat in. Asad sighed and followed behind. They finally reached to their destination. Asad looked towards the house, he was confused, it was a new one, the board read "Farooqui's". Rashid rang the doorbell. They were all waiting, when Asad finally asked that where he is.
Najma : bhaijaan!! Hum apke liye ladki dekhne aye h!!
Najma excitedly said and clapped her hands while Asad's mouth went wide. He was shocked, S.H.O.C.K.E.D. after recovering from his shock he turned towards his mother and asked her about this.
Dilshad : Oho Asad!! Agar hum tumhe puchte to tum saaf inkar kar dete to isliye humne ye sab secret rakha taki tum bhago nahi and see ab tum nahi bhag sakte aur fikr karne ki koi bat nahi hai, we all are so sure that you would not like but love the girl at first sight only!! Relax!!
The door opened and a sweet girl greeted them. Asad felt as if he knew her and the next moment he realized that it was Najma's friend Humera as they saw them hug. Under the daze he didn't realized that it was Humera, before. He greeted her while she beamed at him. She welcomed them inside. All were seated and greetings were exchanged.
*---------------------------*
Anwar : Zoya tumhare baal thode thik karlo beta aur ye dekho tumhari earring thodi loose hogayi hai, take care beta!!
Zoya : Popz...are you okay? Ap suddenly mumma ki tarah kyu behave kar rahe ho? I will, don't worry vese bhi ghar ja rahe h, kon dekhne ko betha h!!
Anwar : dekhne ko betha hai isliye to bol raha hu!!
Zoya : kya?!
Anwar bit his tongue : mera matlab h ki tumhari mumma...ha tumhari mumma tum to janti ho ki jab tum ya Humera nayi dress pehnti ho vo kitni careful rehti hai iss bare mei!! To bus isliye!!
Zoya : huh!!...
Zoya didn't understood what was going on. She neglected it. After good 15 minutes drive she reached her home. She felt as if she heard voices. She looked towards her father who just avoided looking at her. Her mother greeted her. As she entered she saw some guests but her mother quickly took her to the kitchen so she didn't saw who they were. As she entered the kitchen, her mother arranged her hairs and duppata. She handed her a tray of tea and snacks. She was confused at the commotion. She kept the tray back and looked at her mother as if asking her.
Zeenat : Zoya der mat kar!! Ladke wale wait kar rahe hai, ache se jana, okay and...
Zoya : what? Ladke wale? Kon ladke wale? Kiske ladke wale??
Zeenat : zoya vo...tere liye ek rishta aya h...vo ladke wale tera bahar...
Zoya : mumma!! Ye kya keh rahi ho?? Oh to isliye, subah se itna pyaar barsaya ja raha tha!! Ab mei samjhi!! Lekin mei kisi se nahi mil rahi!!
Zeenat : are!! Isliye, isliye hum ne nahi bataya kyunki tu pehle hi mana kardeti!! Aur tu esa kuch nahi karegi!!
Zoya : mei esa karungi!!
Zeenat : no!
Zoya : yes!!
Zeenat quickly handed her the tray forcefully and pushed her a little so she was out of the kitchen. Zoya was about to retort when she saw it was too late, she was already in the drawing room and there she saw Najma, she knew Najma and Najma was quite fond of her aswell. She moved her gaze towards Dilshad, Ayaan and Rashid, and beside him sat one more person but she cant see the face as his head was hung down. She smiled and moved towards them confused. She kept the tray on the table while Najma and Dilshad hugged her and Rashid and Ayaan greeted her playfully which she only smiled. She served them and moved towards the fifth person. She hesitated a little but then receiving encouragement she finally called out him.
Zoya : excuse me!! Ap kitni chamch sugar lenge?
And the moment he heard the voice, Asad quickly looked up. He was again S.H.O.C.K.E.D. he quickly stood up and saw her while the spoon in Zoya's hand fell down. They both were shocked to see each other. They looked at each other with wide eyes and their mouth wide open. They both were brought out from their world by the laughter of everyone around them. They all laughed seeing them and had tears in their eyes seeing their reactions.
AsYa : Tum/Aap!!
*---------------------*
" seat 24...24...there it is!!"
Asad made his way towards his seat. He placed his luggage under the berth and sat on his seat. the other three berths were empty. He called his mother and informed her that he has boarded the train. He kept looking here and there feeling bored what to do. The train started moving slowly, it is when he heard HER voice for the first time. He peeked from his seat a little, he saw a man taking and keeping things inside. He shook his head at the people who aren't punctual. He again and again heard " are pakdo ise" or " are jaldi rakho andar" while the man again and again warned her to look forward as the train was now picking up pace. Finally , just when the platform was about to finish the girl finally jumped inside with the help of the man. She breathe heavily and smiled. Her bangs covered her face due to which Asad wasn't able to look at her properly. He tried but failed. She looked up and said " thank you allahmiya!! Mera record tutne se bacha liya!!". She looked towards the hand which was held by the man and smiled " ab to chod to andar agayi hu m, inni khoobsurat bhi nahi hu". Everyone laughed at her this statement and even he didn't knew when he chuckled. She looked down and smiled at everyone and wished a " hello" and that is when he saw HER. Beautiful was the first word came to his mind anyways suggested by his heart. For the first time his heart skipped a beat. He saw her moving towards his seat with her luggage. He quickly turned his head and started taking out his book.
" jante ho aj tak meri ek train nahi chuti h, isse kese chutne deti, mana ki late hogayi thi par, ki farak penda hai mei pahuch gayi finally!! Dodna mujhe bahut pasand hai, aur train dodke pakadna meri favourite hobby hai. Janti hu janti hu bada filmy lagega par ye asal zindagi m hota h!! akhir filme bhi to asal zindagi se banti hai...
She kept on blabbering while arranging her luggage. he realized that she got the seat opposite to his. He looked towards the girl who kept on talking and talking thinking that he was listening, well he was. After a while she finally sat down and took a deep breath. She was wearing a dark blue jeans, a plain white shirt and a scarf wrapped around her shoulder. She had her hair up tied in a pony and wore long earrings and silver bangles. she smiled at him and continued.
Girl : train kafi khali ja rahi hai, nahi? Mujhe pata hai ap bore horahe honge, after all koi hai bhi to nahi bat karne ke liye!! Don't worry ab mei agayi hu na bas ab dekhna pura rasta pata bbhi nahi chalega aur kat jaega!! Mujhe na baat karna bahut pasand hai!
Asad : dikh raha hai!!
Girl : jee ? kuch kaha apne? Kher! Ap kafi shant hai, kuch bolte kyu nahi...janti hu...ab ap kahenge ki mei itna bolti hu ki kisi aur ko mauka nahi deti bolne ka, pata hai mujhe, mere sare dost yahi kehte hai! Kya karu , mei bole bina reh nahi sakti, bachpan se hi bat karne ka bahut shok tha mujhe. Jante h ap, bachpan m auntyio se zyada to mei parpanch karti thi...itna bolti thi na, sachme, by god ki kasam samne wala dekh kar heran reh jata tha...dekhna thodi der m ap bhi dang reh jaenge meri bat sun sunkar...
She continued animatedly while Asad was trying hard to keep the gentleman smile he had. Each word of her had a different expression. Asad kept sitting there listening to her, he was a little annoyed but he thought her as cute.
A few minutes later :
Girl : mei na kuch dino ke liye apni cousin ke vaha gayi thi...you know engagement and all...ya she is getting married...unfortunately meri sister ke exam the and mumma papa attend nahi kar parahe the to mujhe hi jana pada...by god ki kasam...itni thakan hojati hai!! Ab finally ghar wapis ja rahi hu...waha jake soch rahi hu teaching shuru karu...abhi kuch din pehle hi apni studies complete kari,...but job vagerah karne ka man nahi h to socha...
A few moments later :
Girl : mujhe na Siddharthh Malhotra aur Shahid Kapoor sabse ache lagte hai, kitne decent hai, and siddhart to sachme ekdum rasgulla hi, kitna sweet hai...shahid bhi kafi decent hai...heroine mei mujhe sabse zyada mei pasand hu,...akhir mei apni favourite hu... apka bhi hoga na koi favourite hero...
A few moments more:
girl : mujhe na bachpan se pahad bahut pasand hai, I love hill stations, I have thought ki jab mauka milega sab se pehle nanital wagarah jaungi...kya karu abhi tak ho nahi paya...mumma kehti h, ek bar gayi thi par kese yad rahega , choti sit hi...
A few moments later:
Girl : ap kafi kam bolte hai!! Esa kyu? Insan ko bolna chahie, uski feeling voice out karni chahie... ap bhi bola karie...
Asad : ap bolne dengi tab na!! kabse bak bak bak bak kar rahi hai, bole ja rahi h bole ja rahi h, I m shocked ki koi itna kesse bol sakta hai. Mujhe kya farak padta hai ki ap shadi se ayi hai ya trip se, Siddhart pasand hai ya shakti kapoor, hill stations pasand h ya desert... chapar chapar chapar...phir puchengi ki mei bolta kyu nahi!!
Few seconds later:
Asad : I m sorry vo...
Girl : are!! Its ok!! Acha ki apne, mujhe to pata hi nahi chaala ki mei kabse bol rahi hu, apne realize to karwaya, achi bat hai apne apna gussa nikala, very good...
She was about to continue when the food came. They both sat down and ate quietly, at least trying to be quiet. Tired they both decided to take a short nap.
After 2 hours :
Asad woke up to find the girl missing. He saw here and there but didn't found her when suddenly he saw her coming from outside. She smiled and sat down while he greeted her back.
Girl : next station p train thodi der rukegi, vaha chahe to utar sakte hai kuch der ke liye, train m bethe bethe thak gaye honge!!
Girl : vese apki wife apse kafi khush rehti hongi nahi?
Asad : jee??
Girl : are mera matlab hai ki biwio ko kam bolne wale pati yani jo unki bate sune kafi pasand hai to apki wife kafi happy shappy rehti hogi nahi?
Asad : apko esa kyu lag raha hai ki mera nikah hogaya hai?
Girl : dekho!! Banda sirf do wajaho se shant hota hai, ek ya to vo esa hi hai ya phir uska nikah hogaya hai!! See ap mashallah dikhte to kafi ache hai, sharif lagte hai, aur kafi ache bhi hai to phir ab tak to apka nikah hohi gaya hoga! Isliye!
Asad : jee nahi esa kuch nahi hai!!
Girl : sach? Mujhe yakin nahi horaha hai!
Asad : yahi sachai hai, and apko yakin kyu nahi horaha?
Girl : lo station agaya!! Badme batati hu!!
At the same moment station arrived. The girl had her head kept on window because of the sudden jerk her head hit the window a way too hard. He quickly rubbed her head while she had her eyes shut tight. He didn't knew why he did that, if it would had been some other female he would have hesitated a bit. He ignored and asked if she is okay.
Girl : of course I am okay, itni chotti se chot mera kya bigadegi...
Asad : okay okay fine !! umm woh...app...kuch..um..vo..lengi??
Girl : mei ek cold drink aur amul kool lena pasand karungi!!
She smiled at him while he shook his head at her. He walked out and took in the fresh air. He went towards the stall and asked for required things. He saw his phone ring. He picked up, it was his mother on the other line asking about him, while he answered her.
The train started moving, she was worried that where he would be. She quickly saw that everything was safe and went towards the door. She saw him buying and talking on the phone. She shook her head and started calling him. She kept calling but he didn't heard. A man also came from behind seeing this.
Girl : are oh!! Are oh hello!! Dark blue shirt!! Are shantiben!! Are oy bhaisaab!! Are!!
Man : kya naam h unka? Shanti ben? Bhaisab nam hai unka?
The girl gave a annoying look to the man and got down while the man kept calling for her. She quickly ran to him and patted his shoulder just the moment he cut the call. He saw the girl and was about to ask what was she doing there buut then saw train moving. He quickly held her hand and both ran behind the train but they were late.
The train moved from the platform. Both stood there panting. The girl angrily looked at Asad and took him by collar while Asad was shocked. She started shaking him and shouting...
