After 1 year of Najma's Nikah
It was early morning in Khan Mansion and with everyone getting ready for the day, the lawn was rulling by the silence, zoya was the first one to come out to prepare breakfast making sure that her Princess Afifa is in deep slumber, asking asad to join her soon as he need to go office early for one important meeting
She was busy making paratha's when the ptcl rang, lighting the stove she ran to pick it up
'Assalam-o-Alikum' she greeted
'Walaikum-as-salam ...zoya...' zoya's eyes widened in shock as she recognized the other person on call
'Who is it?' She still asked to confirm
'Adil' he replied
'Adil' she repeated and asad who too was coming to her after getting ready stopped in his track listening to the name zoya called out
Zoya stood like that until adil finished telling what he wanted and her eyes moist 'MR.Khan, tanveer' she started and filling him up about everything they left asap for the place adil called them telling humaira to look after afifa

Hospital
'Ex-cuse me Miss Tanveer Baig' asad asked the receptionist and she checking from the pc told them her room number
'Adil' asad called out as he reached to her room and saw adil sitting there outside her room 'asad...zoya, thank you' he said smiling widely, a smile reaching till his eyes
'What happened adil? Tanveer...coma...since when adil?' Asked zoya while asad went and stood by window with his back facing them 'since the next day of your nikah zoya... she met with an accident near highway and from that day she was in comma' he informed 'but how... what was she doing there?' 'Going back her home' 'what?'
'Yes, after that night, tanveer decided to leave Bhopal for always but she stayed back only to witness your and asad's nikah... so that nothing came in it's way... she was there when you guyz entered into that pure bond of marriage, don't ask how but she was... next day without telling me or my ami, she left our house and decided to return back kanpur
On her way the bus stopped near a dhaba, i don't know what happened there but what I got to know was that she was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't noticed a truck coming her way and she was hit by it...as she had my card in her luggage I was informed about her and..' 'and' 'and.. from past one and a half year she was in comma... lying here ...' as he continued asad cut him off 'if she was here from so long and you were here with her then why... why did you contact us, why you again forced us to face our past, that cruel past which we burried somewhere and were happy' asad asked coldly without facing him, adil walked towards him and placed his hand on her's
'Because yesterday night, tanveer woke up finally, I don't what brought her back, her pleads, my prayers or Allah's second chance... May be All of it because Allah gave her another chance to correct what went wrong' 'wrong... no Adil she just didn't do anything wrong... she committed a sin... a grave sin... something which was too grave as compared to something which can be named as wrong... a mistake' he said 'I know asad... I know... but if Allah can give her one more chance then can't you just forgive her... please asad, just forgive her... if you want I will take her away from Bhopal from you all for always but please just forgive her... from the moment she opened her eyes she is crying calling out for you and zoya, pleading for forgiveness, it was so difficult for us to give her medicines and get her back to sleep'
'Adil just listening her name makes me shiver as those past memories came in view then how can I face her?... forget forgiving... how?' Asad asked turning to him and helding his collar, adil looked down not knowing what to answer but zoya knew, she came forward and placed her hand on his shoulders.. just her touch brought some kind of calmness with in him.. she then made him look back at her 'Mr.Khan I agree with whatever you said... I know what she did isn't something we can forget easily neither can forgiving her is an easy decision for you but Mr.Khan we are also humans na... we too commit mistakes for which we suffer for long... which just change our lives... tanveer too did that
She too committed a grave sin and suffered, she lost her kid too, her life too changed after it but she changed for good, you know when I returned back as zaara she too may have turned into her old self, to get you away from me, I know it was something she could never have been able to do but still she could have tried... but instead she did everything she could to get us back together, and it's because of her that today I know who I am... whatever she did was to make me remember myself, you and everything which happened even after knowing that her truth will also be revealed but she did it all... just for us... Mr.Khan I am not asking you to just forget everything but Mr.Khan you can forgive her, to finally let go of past, even if you think that she don't deserve another chance, she got one... and you can forgive her so that she too can move on' zoya said and caressed his cheeks lovingly
'Zoya I...' 'I know it's difficult to just do it all... but don't you know Mr.Khan that it takes a lot to forgive someone and you have that heart... just do it Mr.Khan and let's go back at our home... the place where our family is waiting for us...will you do it?' 'YES' 'come on'
-------
she let out a painful moan as she opened her eyes with utmost difficulty and looked around, her eyes moistened as soon as she saw asad standing in front of her and zoya sitting beside her 'how are you feeling now tanveer?' 'I..I am fine zoya...ho...how are you... how is everyone?' 'All are fine tanveer but what is this... why are you not listening to doctors? An...' as zoya continued she noticed how tanveer was constantly staring at asad silently pleading while asad was just looking at the floor, zoya just placed her hand on his and as he looked up at her she blinked her eyes giving him a small smile
'As...asad ... I.. I need to.. I mean.. I ..' 'tannu...I forgive you, for whatever happened in past... for what we went through, for everything... we can't just hold back what has passed so just like I have let go of our dark past I am forgiving you too... 'he spoke up emotionally looking directly at her, she with a little difficulty joined both her hands together and whispered a thank you, asad giving her one last smile turned and walked out
As he came out, adil approached him 'asad... can you forgive me too? I know I supported her but if I did that for her then I did that for you and zoya too... can we again become friends?' Asked adil while asad just took him In a brotherly hug leaving behind the past
-------
'Zoya... will you too forgive me?' 'Tanveer I have forgiven you long before... I know what you did was wrong and we suffered because of you but I can't ignore it that it's because of you I am here as zoya... tanveer whatever happened is past now, we should move on, a bright future is waiting for us and for you too...' zoya said and then stood up to leave when tanveer called out for her again 'zoya... will we ever meet again?' She asked 'no tanveer' 'bu...' 'don't take me wrong tanveer, I am saying this because now you should leave back the past along with the people who were the part of your past... look around tanveer, a bright future, adil is waiting for you' 'adil... no zoya... adil don't deserve a life partner like me... I can't do this to him' she told her instantly teary eyed
'Let him decide it himself tanveer, because now after waiting for you from so long, he wants to spend his complete life with you...and you shouldn't deny him tanveer because I know that more than love he respects you ... just hold his hand and move on tanveer' zoya told her and smiling through her tears she walked out of room and then along with asad left for Khan Mansion leaving adil and tanveer for each other and she wished for tanveer to think about her words
