Part 42
Asad has confiscated everyone cell phones n also removed d wires of d landlines so dat no one tries to call anyone.
"Where is Antara I mean Ananya?" asked Asad, "Its been long since she is not wid me."
"Bhaijaan, she is resting," replied Najma.
"How can she not come to me?" asked Asad furiously, "I told her many times to be in front of my eyes but she is resting in ur mother's room. I will make her pay for dis."
He got up n was abt to leave d hall but Ayaan n Najma came in his way.
"Bhaijaan, plz leave her alone for some time n let her rest," pleads Ayaan.
"Bhaijaan, she is wid u 4m a long time. Plz, don't do anything to her," pleads Najma.
"U both r pleading me to leave ur friend alone. I can't do dat as I can't risk her making any plans against me," taunted Asad smiling at them, "Well, if u both r pleading so much then I agree to leave her alone but only for an hour. Its better she herself comes to me after an hour otherwise it will be more problems for her if I have to go n get her."
"Wat? Only 1 hour?" asked Najma shockingly.
"If u r not happy wid 1 hour then I can bring her to me now only," replied Asad.
"No, 1 hour is fine," said Ayaan.
"Glad dat someone agreed wid me," taunted Asad wid a smile.
Ayaan n Najma left d hall not heeding to his taunt.
Ananya was talking wid Dilshad, Razia n Humeira in Dilshad's room wen Ayaan n Najma walked in wid worried faces.
"Why u both r worried?" asked Humeira.
Ayaan n Najma told her wat happened in d hall. Others r shocked to hear wat they said.
"We can't let baaji to go to him," said Humeira.
"We have no choice, Humi. I need to go to him otherwise he will trouble all of us more," said Ananya sadly, "We need to think sumthn in dis 1 hour."
"We sud take d gun 4m bhaijaan," said Najma.
"But it will be hard to do dat," said Humeira.
"I got an idea," said Ayaan.
"Wat idea?" asked Humeira.
Ayaan tells them in mute.
"I hope it works," said Ayaan.
Scene shifts to Asad walking in d corridor. Ayaan who was walking 4m d opposite side wid some clothes bumps into Asad purposely making him fall down.
"Wat d hell?" asked Asad angrily, "Can't see u properly while walking."
"Bhaijaan, I was taking some of my clothes to give Wajid for washing," replied Ayaan calmly, "I am sorry. Let me help u."
Ayaan extending his hand to help him but he brushed off his hand rudely.
"I don't want ur help. I can get up on my own," said Asad rudely.
Najma n Humeira came behind Asad. Ayaan had to act more.
"Bhaijaan plz, let me help u," said Ayaan.
"I said na I don't want ur help," said Asad rudely, "1st u make me fall down n then pretend to help me. If u don't stop arguing then I will punch u."
Najma n Humeira stealthily removed d gun 4m Asad's pocket n replaced it wid a fake gun back in his pocket n hid behind d wall.
"Sorry bhaijaan," said Ayaan.
Asad got up unaware dat d gun in his pocket is replaced.
"Don't do dis mistake again," warned Asad n left 4m there.
Ayaan, Najma n Humeira hi-fived wid each other n went to Dilshad's room.
"We replaced d gun," said Ayaan.
"Good," said Ananya.
Ayaan handed d gun to Dilshad. She removed d bullets n hid them in one of d boxes in her cupboard so dat no one cud find them. Ananya tuk d gun 4m her hand.
"Dis gun widout bullets may be of use later," said Ananya.
Asad comes in RaShi's room.
"Why dat girl is not wid u?" asked Rashid.
"Ayaan n Najma were pleading me so much to leave her alone so I agreed but only for an hour," replied Asad amusingly.
"Asad, u can't leave her alone like dis. U saw wid ur own eyes na how she was trying to kill us," said Shirin horrified dat he is letn her away 4m him for an hour.
"Relax ammi, she will not be able to do anything. Only 40 minutes r remaining then she will wid me. I will then show her d consequences of troubling my parents," said Asad.
Ananya n Najma were hiding outside d room n hearing everything. Wen Asad came out, they hid 4m him.
"He is such a fool for letn Ananya alone. She will surely try to think sumthn," said Shirin.
"Relax Shirin, we have brainwashed Asad so much abt Ananya dat he will not let her do anything. He will be always careful wid her," said Rashid wid a smirk.
"Yes, dat injection is doing its work. We will be able to control him for at least some 3-4 hours more due to dat injection. He will do everything we will say. He is troubling his own family especially dat bitch Ananya. No one knows how we followed him 2day n injected him wen he was cumn back to d car 4m d shop. Asad will kill his own love n then he will be only get death sentence for it. Dis is called killing 2 birds wid a stone," said Shirin wid a smirk.
Ananya n Najma were shocked at wat they heard. Ananya became so angry dat she was abt to barge in their room but Najma pulled her back n dragged her to her room.
"Najma, why did u stopped me? Didn't u heard wat they did to our Asad?" asked Ananya angrily, "They have crossed their limits. Asad has troubled me a lot cuz of them. They r planning to make Asad kill me so dat he gets hanged for it."
"Bhabhi, I am also angry but we can't act like dis out of anger," replied Najma calmly, "U know na how Asad bhaijaan reacted wen he saw u grabbing their throats. I want u to make him angry again. Due to d injection, he will trouble u again if he gets angry."
"Then wat to do, Najma?" asked Ananya, "I am tired of seeing Asad's behaviour. I can't take it anymore. He was never mean to me like dis even wen he used to hate me earlier during d days wen he thought me as Zoya Farooqui. He was such a regressive n outdated man due to some of his friends influence but he was never horrible to me like dis. In 35 minutes, I will have to tolerate dis new Asad again n he is planning to trouble me for trying to harm his so-called parents. I am really scared to go back to dis new Asad."
"Bhabhi, we need to do sumthn to make Asad remember everything," replied Najma.
"Its not dat easy like dat CID's episode where Tasha makes ACP, Abhijeet n Daya remember everything wid few lines of emotional talks," said Ananya.
"At least we can try doing dat. There is no guarantee if it will work or not but we all do sumthn to divert bhaijaan 4m doing anything wrong for few hours," said Najma.
"It's a good idea but its very risky," said Ananya.
Ananya n Najma goes to Ayaan's room where he was talking wid Nikhat, Nuzhat n Humeira.
"We have come to know wats happened to bhaijaan," said Najma.
"Wat?" asked Ayaan.
Ananya n Najma tells them everything shocking them.
"At least we got his gun," said Humeira.
"I can't believe our parents cud do all dis," said Nikhat.
"They don't care abt u & Nuzhat also which u both know," said Ananya.
"We can't even call anyone as he tuk all our cellphones," said Nuzhat.
"I have an extra cell but its in my room where Asad is sitting in d hall. He may see me. Ur parents don't know abt my other cell Asad did not asked for it," said Ananya.
Ananya left d room to go to her n Asad's room. They saw Asad cumn so they hid as they don't want Ananya to be seen by Asad. Asad enters Ayaan's room.
"Tell ur friend dat she has only 30 minutes to come to me," said Asad.
"Bhaijaan enough, u r too much now," said Najma.
Ananya was shocked to see Asad in d room while Ayaan signaled her to get her cell 4m her room. Ananya went 4m there.
"Bhaijaan, plz stop all dis n try to remember sumthn," said Nikhat.
"U can't hurt us like dis," said Nuzhat.
"Yaa, I can't hurt u all but u all can hurt me," said Asad sarcastically.
"U r thinking wrong abt us," said Ayaan.
Meanwhile, Ananya went to her room. She got her cell 4m her bag but unfortunately battery was low. She quickly kept it on silent to avoid attracting anyone wid d sound. She connected her cell wid d portable charger n kept it in d bag.
Scene shifts to Ayaan's room.
"I am supposed to think wrong abt u," said Asad as he walked 2wards him.
"Bhaijaan, plz try to remember sumthn. I am ur younger brother. Try to remember how we were close to each other. Try to remember how u taught me cycling n playing cricket. Try to remember how much we were crying wen we were separated 4m each other," said Ayaan.
Asad felt sumthn weird as if trying to remember sumthn.
"Don't tell fake stories to fool me," said Asad he grabbed Ayaan's collars.
"Bhaijaan, leave him," said Najma.
"As if bhaijaan will listen to u. He has bcum puppet of his so-called parents," said Ayaan.
"Don't u dare talk nonsense abt my parents," said Asad angrily shaking him by his collars.
Najma n Nikhat pulled Asad off Ayaan.
"Bhaijaan, have u lost ur mind or wat?" asked Najma angrily, "Why don't u believe us wateva we r teln u?"
"Why will I believe u?" asked Asad angrily, "U all r my enemies."
"Bhaijaan, try to understand. They r fooling u," said Nuzhat.
"I don't want to understand as u all r trapping me," said Asad walking out of d room.
Scene shifts to AsYa's room.
"Dis is not getn charged. Its an old phone so its takn a very long time to even charge enough to make a call," said Ananya.
She lukd at her watch.
"I need to take rest as in 20 minutes I need to go to Asad," as Ananya.
She lied on d bed. Tears formed in her eyes as she thinks abt all wat Asad is doing wid everyone since he entered dis house d last time. She can't believe she is seeing Asad like dis.
"I don't know wat he will do wid me for troubling Rashid n Shirin," said Ananya.
She recalls him threatening to push her off d railing if she troubles them again n how he wud have slapped her if Ayaan did not stopped his hand midway. After some time, she got up 4m d bed n opened n her bag to check d cell. She saw d charging was 50% more than enough to make a cell. But as she as abt to make a call, she heard footsteps n kept d cell in her pocket. She waited to see who was cumn in her room n stood near d window. She wiped her tears n lukd at her watch getn shocked to see dat only 2 minutes remained for her to go to Asad. She then saw Asad entering d room n realized dat it was his footsteps she heard.
"I myself came here to take u in case u forgot to come urself," said Asad.
"Still 1 minute is remaining so I did not forgot," said Ananya showing him her watch.
"Good dat u did not forgot otherwise u wud have made me angry," said Asad.
"Just stop it, Asad. I don't know wat happened to u. U can't be mean to ur own family. U can't be mean to ur own wife dat is me. How can u forget abt all d lovely moments we spend 2gthr? How can u forget our marriage?" asked Ananya raising her voice tired of his behaviour.
"Oh plz, just stop ur drama now. I am getn irritated by now. I don't want to remember our moments as I know u were pretending to love me," said Asad bitterly.
"Dis is not true. Plz, believe me dat I am ur wife," pleaded Ananya.
He lukd at her angrily n pushed her against d wall. Before she could move, he caged her wid his hands on either of her head n said in a dangerous, "If u ever call urself as my wife again then I will not spare u. I am fed up of ur lies of calling urself as my wife."
"Asad plz,...," Ananya tried to say sumthn but he clamped her mouth shut wid his hand.
"I think I told u not to call urself as my wife again," said Asad in an enraged tone.
He then removed his hand 4m her mouth Ananya was unhappy dat she cud not make a call due to him entering d room n now he will not leave her alone but always keep her in front of him. She needs to somehow make a call or tell someone else to do it but it will be hard to tell dat to anyone wid Asad always keeping an eye on her.
"Asad don't have his gun anymore so there is not fear of dat," thinks Ananya.
"Thinking of running away 4m me?" asked Asad.
"Why don't u keep ur mouth shut?" asked Ananya getn irritated wid dis villain Asad.
"Oh so u r already irritated wid me," said Asad amusingly.
"Wat else u expect? To smile n enjoy wid u in dis situation?" asked Ananya.
"Oh plz, I am not interested in smiling n enjoying wid u," replied Asad.
"Who knows after some hours u will be interested," said Ananya.
"After some hours, u will be not alive," said Asad.
"Don't say dis," said Ananya.
"I am saying d truth," said Asad.
"U really don't remember anything abt me?" asked Ananya, "U really don't remember me, ammi, Humeira, mom, Ayaan, Najma, Nikhat, Nuzhat, dada, dadi?"
"No, I don't remember anything," replied Asad.
He grabbed her hand to take to d hall but she pulled out her hand.
"U can't keep me like dis wid u all d time," said Ananya firmly.
"I can & u r in no position to argue wid me," said Asad firmly.
"Oh really? I can argue wid u on anything," said Ananya.
"If u r done wid arguing then come out wid me," said Asad.
"No," said Ananya.
Asad tuk a moment to register wat she said.
"Wat did u said?" asked Asad.
"I said No. I think u r not deaf," replied Ananya.
"U have got a big mouth in dis 1 hour. I did a mistake in letn u rest for 1 hour," said Asad.
"Whatever," said Ananya.
"R u not afraid of me?" asked Asad getn frustrated wid her talking back to him.
"Why I sud be afraid of such a loving n caring husband like u?" asked Ananya, "But sadly, u have been turned into sumthn else by ur parents which u don't even remember."
"Don't say anything against my parents," said Asad.
"Rashid Ahmed Khan cheated ur mother Dilshad wid another woman Shirin. He even had 2 daughters wid Shirin unknown to ur mother, u & ur siblings. He then divorced her to marry Shirin leaving ur mother, u, Ayaan n Najma shattered. (Asad had a weird feeling for a moment but he brushed it off)If dat was not enough to hurt them, he even separated Ayaan 4m ur family to hurt all of u. Try to remember all these. Now, ur so-called parents have...," Ananya tried to say sumthn but was stopped by Asad.
"Just stop it," roared Asad, "I don't want to hear anymore made up stories."
"I am not making up stories. I am saying d truth," said Ananya.
"I have enough of ur nonsense. Now come wid me," said Asad n grabbed her hand again.
"I think I said No," said Ananya pulling out her hand again.
"U can't say No to me," said Asad angrily.
"Sorry to burst ur bubbles. I have said dat also twice," said Ananya wid a smile.
He tuk out his gun n realized dat it was fake.
"I think u r finding dis?" asked Ananya wid a smile removing d real gun 4m her pocket.
Asad was shocked to see his gun wid her.
"Give it to me," said Asad.
"No, I will not let u do any crime. U r not dat person," said Ananya.
"I don't care abt crime or anything. My parents told me to finish u all. Dats it," said Asad.
"U say dat we all have hurt u. If u kill us then wat will be d difference?" asked Ananya.
"Don't know abt d difference but I will win dis battle," replied Asad.
"I am trying to put some sense into u 4m so much but luks like its no use as u r not Asad but someone else who has been created to destroy others," said Ananya.
"Just shut up n give my gun back to me," said Asad.
"No way, Asad. I am not a fool to plan my n others death by ur hand. Gun haath me aate hi koi bhi sher ban sakta hai aur gun haath se jaate hi hawa nikal jaati hai," said Ananya.
"Youuu," said Asad angrily n was abt to grab her neck but she pushed him on d bed.
"I am tolerating ur nonsense 4m long just cuz u r my husband & u r drugged into behaving like dis but I can't tolerate ur nonsense anymore," said Ananya.
"I AM NOT UR HUSBAND," shouted Asad angrily.
"U R MY HUSBAND WHETHER U BELIEVE IT OR NOT," shouted Ananya wid equal anger.
Asad became more angry wid her response. He threw a pillow at her making d gun fall down. He quickly got up 4m d bed n picked d gun 4m d floor.
"Wat were u saying? Gun haath me aate hi koi bhi sher ban sakta hai aur gun haath se jaate hi hawa nikal jaati hai. See, I have got my gun back now," said Asad n pointed d gun at her.
"Its of no use as it has no bullets," said Ananya.
Asad opened d magazine n was shocked to know dat she was saying d truth. He angrily threw d gun n its magazine on d floor causing d magazine of d gun to break.
"Where r the bullets?" asked Asad.
"I threw them away," replied Ananya.
Asad got angry on hearing dis. Just then, RaShi came in d room.
"Ammi-abbu, dis girl replaced my gun n threw its real bullets," said Asad.
"Wat?" asked Shirin shockingly, "We can't let others win."
"We told not to live her alone but u did not listen to us. We need to think sumthn else now," replied Rashid.
Ananya turned to leave d room to go to others. Rashid signalled Asad n he nodded. As Ananya was abt to leave d room, Asad grabbed her both hands 4m behind. She was abt to scream but he placed his hand on her mouth to stop her 4m screaming. She freed herself after some struggle n stomped on Asad's foot making him cry in pain. She pushed RaShi n went outside d room. She shut d door 4m outside n dialed police teln them abt d problem at her home. She realized dat they cud come out of d window but she was glad dat she cud make a call. Asad, Rashid n Shirin got mad on realizing dat Ananya shut d door 4m outside. They started banging d door. Ayaan, Najma n Humeira came to her.
"Ananya, open d door," shouted Asad 4m d other side.
"Asad baby, don't shout like dis otherwise ur BP will be high," teased Ananya wid a laugh.
"U sud open d door as these both people can do sumthn to him," said Humeira.
Ananya nodded n opened d door. Asad glared at her n charged 2wards her but Ayaan came in front of her.
"Bhaijaan, u don't need to show ur strength to a woman," said Ayaan.
"Wow! A kid n so-called man will fight wid me," ridiculed Asad.
"We will deal wid him later, Ayaan. 1st lets deal wid these 2 people," said Ananya.
"Don't dare to anything to my parents," said Asad raising his voice.
"U sud not be concern for them," said Ananya, "They r criminals."
Ananya moved near d washroom. Asad charged 2wards her angrily. In a quick moment, Ananya pushed Asad inside d washroom n shuts d door 4m outside shocking him.
"Ananya, open d door," shouted Asad as he banged on d door.
"Its not use, Asad baby. U can't open d door by banging as d door can't open widout a number lock code fitted outside d washroom," lied Ananya so dat he stops banging.
Asad gets irritated. RaShi were abt to say dat she is lying but they were pulled outside d room by Ayaan, Najma n Humeira while Ananya remained in her room.
"Ananya, I said open d door," shouted Asad angrily.
"Asad, why don't u understand dat they r playing game wid u? Why don't u understand dat u r doing wrong by planning to kill of us? Why don't u understand dat d way u r behaving wid all of us is not u but sumthn u r turned into by ur so-called parents?" asked Ananya.
"U r trying to brainwash me into believing ur lies but u will not succeed. Once I come outside then I will make u regret for wat u did now," shouted Asad.
"Luks like u forgot dat I told u abt number lock code so u can't come outside till I open d door. Now, u remain there only for 3 hours till u remember everything. I will not let u talk wid ur so-called parents anymore. I will not let u trouble me n others anymore," said Ananya, "U know wat, Asad? Wen I was in New York, I learnt karate n boxing wid my brothers. Agar teri jagah koi aur muje aise tang karta to main uska muh tod deti thi but I did not done anything to u cuz u r my husband n cuz I know dat someone caused u to lose ur memory n is brainwashing u against ur own family. If it had been someone else in place of u then I had been standing wid dat gun fully loaded instead of removing d bullets."
Asad was lost into his thoughts. He registered her words she said just now. Wat does she mean by he will have to remain here for 3 hours till he remembers everything? Has sumthn really wrong wid him? Why he is not remembering anything? He recalled how she did not hurt him in anyway to save herself 4m him if wat she is saying abt knowing karate n boxing is true. He recalled how she did not stopped talking trash abt his parents n calling herself his wife even after all his threats. He recalled Ayaan teln him abt their childhood days n how much they cried wen they were separated. He recalls Ananya teln him again n again dat she is his wife even after him denying it every time. He then has faint memory of his father takn away a boy who luks younger to him 4m him n insulting Dilshad aunty saying sumthn like he never wanted to marry her so he divorced her n will live wid Shirin who he has married now while he was teln not to take Ayaan away 4m him n Ayaan calling for Asad bhaijaan n then a girl of his age saving him 4m falling while he was running 2wards his father's car n him calling her Anu. He then recalls his several moments wid Ayaan wen they grew up such as he n Ayaan meeting in Asad's room wid Ayaan cumn thru his window, he n Ayaan singing 2gthr for a TV audition at d bazaar n he playing catch-catch wid Ayaan using Ananya's cell wid Ananya run here n there to get back her cell.
"Wat kind of things r cumn in my mind?" thinks Asad clueless.
He holds his head as he sits on d chair near d bath-tub.
Precap: #"Anu, open d door," said Asad.
"To get d door open, u r calling me now Anu. Don't act smart wid me. Do u think I am stupid to come in ur act. U r staying in there for 3 hours," said Ananya.
"Oh no," said Asad unhappily, "Anu, plz let me out."
"So dat u trouble everyone again? No, u will stay there only for 3 hours," said Ananya.
"Yaar, ye kaisi biwi hai?" thinks Asad disappointingly.
#D police arrives in d house n arrests RaShi. They tell Asad to help them but he is only standing quietly n staring at them.
