Note: This OS is set during the situation when Aditya and Zoya were escaping from Rajveer and celebrate Eid at a village. This OS is clearly based on my imagination and is not intended to offend anyone in any way.
"Zoya yaar... sirf iftar khatam hone tak time hai hamare paas. Ab yeh karna zaroori hai kya? Chalo na yaar. We'll just leave. Eid tab manayenge jab hum dono safe hai" said a tensed Aditya, as he paced back and forth, while Zoya calmly laid down the mat for the evening prayer.
Zoya looked at Aditya and smiled. She knew that this was no time for a celebration. Not yet. And she knew Aditya was right. She also knew that Aditya was worried about her more than himself. She could see it in his eyes. She laid a hand on his tensed shoulder, calming him down a bit.
"Aditya... hume pata hai ki yeh celebrate karne ka waqt nahi hai. Lekin hum itne din se bhaag rahe hain. Bhas yeh ek pal ka sukoon chahiye hume. Please... Allah miyan pe sab chod do. Woh hume kuch hone nahi denge."
Despite all the worries he had, Aditya smiled. Zoya was right. They have been running for days together and this moment of peace was needed, for both of them. He looked down and smiled at Zoya, as she knelt down for her prayers. Zoya looked up at him and motioned him to do the same.
Tujhe yaad kar liya hai, tujhe yaad kar liya hai
Aayat ki tarah...
Kaayam tu ho gayi hai, kaayam tu ho gayi hai
Riwayat ki tarah...
Tujhe yaad kar liya hai...
Aditya sat knelt down beside her and closed his eyes, allowing the feeling of peace to settle within him. He opened his eyes and looked towards Zoya, who still had her eyes closed, her lips silently chanting the namaz, her face an epitome of peace.
Marne talak rahegi, marne talak rahegi
Tu aadat ki tarah...
Tujhe yaad kar liya hai, o tujhe yaad kar liya hai
Aayat ki tarah...
Aditya's lips, automatically pulled into a smile as he saw her, completely peaceful, all her worries forgotten, living in the moment, as she prayed. He knew that the time was ticking, and in few minutes, all this will be over, and they will be on the run again, with Rajveer and his men, waiting to capture them. But right now, none of it mattered.
Yeh teri aur meri mohabbat hayat hai
Har lamha isme jeena muqadar ki baat hai
Kehti hai ishq duniya jise...
Kehti hai ishq duniya jise meri jaan e mann
Iss ek lafz mein hi chupi qaynaat hain...
Right now, all he knew was peace, bliss, and a strange sense of happiness as he stared at her. He just wanted her safe. He just wanted her to get out of this mess. He didn't care about what happen to himself. All he cared for was her safety, and he knew that he would do anything to protect her.
Mere dil ki rahaton ka tu zariya ban gayi hai
Teri ishq ki mere dil mein kayi Eid mann gayi hai
Tera zikr ho raha hai, tera zikr ho raha hai
Ibaadat ki tarah...
Tujhe yaad kar liya hai, o tujhe yaad kar liya hai
Aayat ki tarah...
He didn't know how long he had been staring at her. She finished her namaz and looked towards him, only to find him staring at her, a small smile playing on his lips. "Aditya...". His trance broke as he heard his name escape her lips. She was staring at him with a confused look on her face. He just smiled at her, got up from the mat and extended his hand to her. She took his hand stood up. Realization dawned on her.
"Aditya... hume chalni chahiye." she said, panic coating her voice again.
"Haan... chalte hain... lekin mujhe yeh batao, yeh ek pal sukoon tumhe kaisa laga?" he asked her, as they walked towards the door.
"Bohot accha laga." she said, her lips breaking into a smile.
"Mujhe bhi..." said Aditya, as he looked at her smile, truly meaning what he said.
