Heya forumwalon, from a frequent visitor who usually just likes a couple of posts and occassionally posts comments appreciating an OS / Fic that made me smile.
~ Qubool Nahin Hai ~
I'm AT, was active on IF quite a while ago (2012-14!!) and hadn't written since...till Mr. Harshad 'My Pehla Pyaar ' Chopra returned to my life as Aditya Hooda, making me fall in love with him all over again (*sigh* I've been a gone case for over a decade now).
Anyways, here's something. Not my best, I'm aware, but I just HAD to write. A small update shall follow soon. Both comments and criticism are equally welcome đł.
Disclaimer: All characters belong to Bepannaah, Colors. This is just a written fictonal account of what didn't let me sleep last night till 2AM despite my 9AM flight đ„± Also, apologize for typos in advance! IF's mobile phone compatibility is as horrifying as Mama Hooda / Papa Siddhiqui scenes đ
"Aapki humaari zindagi mein koi jagah nahi hai, samjhe aap!?" roared Zoya Siddhiqui, in a vividly apparent fearful denial in lieu of the Mehendi on her hands screaming otherwise.
Taking her hand in his, a calm and dejected Aditya Hooda delicately applied Mehendi over the 'ditya' in her hand. "Tumhari aakhein phir nam ho gayi Zoya." came the soft reply.
Waseem Siddhiqui rejoiced on Cloud 9 as Adiya Hooda's demeanor confirmed that he was finally backing off, despite Zoya's obvious love for him.
Arjun Hooda feared for his brother, as he knew exactly to what extent Zoya had broken him for him to finally let go of her.
Noor Siddhiqui sighed as she saw the absolute horror in her sister's eyes as it sank in that Aditya was actually leaving for good.
Arshad Habib facepalmed big time. Andha hota phir bhi Aditya ke liye aapki bepannah mohabbat dekh paata main Zoya. He flung her to Aditya, KKHH style, with a resolute smile.
Roshna(q?) Siddhiqui prayed to Allah with relief written all over her face, thankful that her daughter was just handed over to her real, true happiness.
Arshad Habib was a tad bit disappointed but highly grateful, as he'd made a decision that'd save 3 lives from a lot of confusion and pain.
Noor Siddhiqui smiled, happy that her sister was with a person who had always stood by her despite her flaws and help her overcome them without judging her.
Arjun Hooda cheered mentally as he saw his brother's eyes light up with a faint hope, considerate of the fact that it didn't reflect a smile as yet.
Waseem Siddhiqui landed on a Khajur ka ped from the 9th cloud, gathering his thoughts and breath as he caught on to the scene unfolding.
Aditya Hooda thanked Arshad Habib with his eyes, and silently turned around to leave, content that his love was safe for now, and not making any mistake she would later regret.
Zoya Siddhiqui felt her breath leaving her, but no voice came out as she tried to call out to him. Everything that had happened since that fateful day started playing in her mind.
Zoya Siddhiqui furrowed her brows and shook her head in a clearly fear-filled denial. "Hum unse mohabbat nahin karte." She said to herself, as it all came back to her. "Hum unse mohabbat nahin karte." The gift shop gramophone fight. "Hum unse mohabbat nahin karte." The fights at Zosh. "Hum unse mohabbat nahin karte." Aditya trying to get her out of her post-suicide depression. "Hum unse mohabbat nahin karte." The friendship-dates after Aditya returned from Paris. "Hum unse mohabbat nahin karte." She chanted mechanically. And then, flashes from the last few days crossed her mind, each focusing on the pain in Aditya Hooda's eyes. "Hum unse mohabbat nahin kar sakte!" And she broke, from the inside out.
He was the person her Abbu disliked from the bottom of his heart! The same Abbu who had warned her against her first love and was proven right. The same Abbu who had loved and cherished her like a princess ever since she was born. The same Abbu who hadn't talked to her for 5 years when she was in her first marriage but was there in 5 hours as soon as she'd needed him. The same Abbu who stood by her despite her shunning the family for a weak hearted, unfaithful man. The same Abbu who had to lower his head before the society because of her mistakes. The same Abbu who would have to go through the same torture again if she was to be with the man who was her husband's lover's husband. She didn't mind, no, that relation was nowhere in between Aditya and herself, but the society would not let her family be.
"Aditya.." a defeated croak left her lips as her legs gave in to the weight her mind was carrying.
Aditya Hooda's heart constricted with pain, way more than what he'd experienced in the last few days. If there was one thing that Aditya Hooda could not bear, it was his Zoya in distress.
Rest of the world forgotten, Aditya was beside Zoya in a flash, holding her from collapsing to the floor. Going down on one knee, he made a seat for her with the other leg and sat her down on it. Holding his collar for support she was looking at him, the defeated look on her face and sheer pain in her eyes silently questioning him "Why is this happening to us?", as the pain on his face and sheer love in his eyes replied that he only just wanted her distress to disappear.
Suddenly, they heard a voice. "Toh kya aapko ye nikaah qubool hai?" The Qaazi asked.
Aditya Hooda helped Zoya up, and with a quick gesture to Noor, handed Zoya over to her. Back to his professional, happy avtar, he replied "Maaf kijiyega Qaazi sahab, aaj ab koi nikah nahin hoga yahaan. Magar aap," he looked around and gestured to all present, "aap sab please khana khaake jaiyega. Aur agar iss jashn ki kabhi baat karne ka mann kare to Zosh ki event management ki, catering ki, ya janab Arshad ki samajhdari ki baat kijiyega, aur apna aur apne apno ka, dono ka maan rakhkar kijiyega. Ab wait kiski kar rahein hain aap sab? Jaiye, khana sach mein bada achha hai, bina sharmaye 2-3 plate daba lijiye, jaiye jaiye" he ushered everyone.
"Maaf kijiyega Qaazi sahab, magar mujhe qubool nahin hai."
Arshad, Roshna(q?), Waseem, Zoya, Arjun and Noor all looked at Aditya, confused.
Aditya Hooda smiled. "Main jaanta hoon aap sab yahin soch rahe hain ki maine 'Qubool Hai' kyon nahi bola. Mera irada kabhi Zoya se jaldbazi mein, zabardasti shaadi karneka nathi tha. Main bas use koi esa kadam nahi uthane dena chahta tha jiski vajah se vo baad me zindagi bhar pachhtaye. Main bas Zoya ko khush dekhna chahta hu. Rahi baat shaadi ki, to bina Zoya ke ye accept kiye ke voh bhi mujhse utni hi bepannaah mohabbat karti hain jitna ki main usse, main shaadi ke baare me sochunga bhi nahi. Phir chahe Zoya 10 din le ya 10 saal. Aur agar Zoya maan bhi jaaye, to bina Ammi, Abbu, Maa aur Paa sab ko manaye, ye shaadi nahi hogi. Iss baar Zoya ki shaadi dhoom dhaam se, apne aur apne sasural ke saare logon ke aashirwaad ke saath, unke saath ke saath hogi. Iss baar Zoya ki koi khwaish adhuri nahi rehne dunga mai. Haldi, mehendi, sangeet, shaadi, nikah sab hoga, sabke saath hoga aur poore dhoom dhaam se hoga, exactly vaise, jaise Zoya ne hamesha se sapne dekhe the apni shaadi ke. Ab se Zoya ka koi bhi sapna adhura nahi rahega. Starting with this."
Aditya Hooda handed Zoya Siddhiqui signed papers that confirmed her sole rights over Zosh, as he handed over all his shares to her.
"Agar kar leti, to yeh shaadi ka tohfa tha, nahin karti to apne darr se jeetne ka celebration. Khair, ab isko bas apni nayi zindagi ki shuruvat ka starter pack samajh lo" and he turned to go home. As he heard the clear sound of papers being torn, Aditya Hooda's eyes smiled after what seemed like eons. Tonight's gonna be a good good night, it's a feeling ;)
P.S. This was among the most difficult things I've ever had to write. Because it is not dialogues that do Aditya-Zoya justice, it's the brilliant actors with their "you're-so-drowning-in-my-feels" expressions. They make Adiya real. And describing it is not even close to the looks Harshand and Jennifer pull off, the feels they give. I have the scene in my head, perfection in its design, but I wish there was a way I could get them to give it life..
