SS:Qubool hai par khatam [part 8: last part updated]

Zara stood rooted to the spot where she was standing. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Her world had come crashing down in an instant. The earth beneath her feet was snatched away...she felt a piercing pain in her heart and wished she had turned deaf before she heard those words from Rukhsar's mouth. What shook her up even more was Kabir's acknowledgement that whatever Rukhsar said was the truth. In a state of shock she kept moving backwards...

K: Zara humari baat suno...Zara please...Zara kuch toh bolo...

Kabir was panicking he couldn't see her like this. If only he could do something to himself for putting her through this.

Zara please meri baat suno...mujh se ek baar baat toh karo Zara please! He tried to move closer but she put up a hand to warn him to stop.

Kabir didn't dare move closer all he wanted to do was hug her and cradle her in his arms and wipe away all her tears.

Zara went into the room and closed the door she then began packing her clothes and thought it was best to leave the Ahmed house right away.

Kabir was standing outside the door and banging continuously at it so that she would hear him.

K: Zara humara yakeen karo, yeh sab humne sirf Rukhsar ko bachane ke liye kiya hai...hume Rukhsar se koi matlab nahi hai...aur woh bhi yeh baat jaanti hai...Zara mai sirf tumhara hun...sirf tumhi meri begum ho, meri jaan ho, mera pura jahan ho, mera sab kuch ho, Zara please...

Zara winced at his words those same words that made her feel at top of the world were now piercing her like arrows!

Bas karo Kabir, Zara thought to herself.

Rukhsar and the rest of the Ahmed family that was standing as an audience wanted to intervene but no one dared to move ahead. Rukhsar knew she would have to bear kabir's wrath if she opened her mouth. Zeenat realised that Kabir would never be Rukhsar's looking at the way he was begging for Zara...Zara meant the world to him and Rukhsar would have to fill too many gaps if she wanted her place in his life.

K: Ammi, Ammi aap Zara se kahiye na ki woh mujhse ek baar baat karle...Ammi woh toh aapki baat sunti hai...Ammi please, kabir begged his mother.

A: beta, tum Zara ke gunehgaar ho, yeh koi choti baat nahi hai Kabir, Zara ka ghar toota hai...usko dard toh hoga hi...she wiped her tears and said "Kabir beta, Zara ka jo bhi faisla hoga mai uske saath hun".

K: Ammi koi meri baat kyun nahi sun raha hai! Zeenat bhabi aap...he looked at her and in frustration said " mai bhi kisse keh raha hun! Yeh sab kuch aap hi ki wajah se ho raha...na hi aap hume Quran ki kasam detin, na hi yeh sab kuch hota! Is liye aisa kasam lena mana hai"

Z: Kabir, mai toh bas...

A: bas karo Zeenat, agar tum khamosh rahogi toh hi tumhare liye behtar hoga!

Z: ji ammi!

Meanwhile, Kabir kept banging on the door pleading with Zara to listen to him.

The door finally opened and kabir was devastated to see Zara holding a suitcase. She didn't look at Kabir and continued walking. Kabir fell to his knees and without thinking twice he caught Zara's legs and begged her:

K: Zara yeh sab kya hai, tum kahan ja rahi ho? Zara please aisa mat karo, Zara yeh Nikah maine sirf Rukhsar ko bachane ke liye kiya, tum bhi yahi chahti thi ke mai usse bachaun, waqt bohot kam tha aur koi dusra raasta nahi tha...zara maine tumhe bohot baar phone lagane ki koshish ki par humari baat nahi ho payi. Zara tried to move forward but Kabir tightened his grip on her legs and hugged it tight with tears running down his cheeks. Zara please mujhe chod ke mat jao...mai marjaunga tumhare bina mai ji nahi paunga...Zara tumhi meri zindagi ho

Z: aur is zindagi ko tumne jeete ji maar daala...zara said coldly

Kabir felt a sharp prick at her words. What had happened suddenly? just the other day both of them were so happy, planning their second wedding and now suddenly everything had crashed.

K: Zara humara rishta khatam nahi hua hai...humara talaaq bhi radd ho gaya hai...Zara tum ab abhi meri biwi ho

Z: nahi Kabir, mai jaanti thi ke humare rishte ko koi talaaq

Khatam nahi kar sakti thi...mai jaanti thi ke talaaq jaisa ek shabd humare rishte ko khatam nahi kar sakta tha par yeh nahi pata tha ke "qubool hai" jaise do shabd humare rishte ko khatam kar denge. Ab sab kuch khatam ho gaya Kabir...sab kuch! Mujhe jaane do.

K: nahi Zara hum tumhe nahi jaane de sakte! Zara hum sirf aur sirf tumhare shauhar hai..hum par sirf tumhara haq hai

Z: kabhi socha nahi tha ke mujhe zindagi mai kabhi yeh sab kehna padega...she inhaled sharply and continued par ab tum kisi aur ke bhi shauhar ho...tum par kisi aur ka abhi haq hai...aur yeh haq tumne hi diya hai Kabir...bas karo kabir ab aur kuch mat kaho! Hume jaane do

K: nahi, hum aisa nahi hone denge...Zara kya ek din mein sab kuch khatam ho gaya? Zara humara pyaar bohot mazboot hai Zara, yeh aise khatam nahi ho sakta...

Z: pyaar toh bohot mazboot aur gehra hai kabir, par is pyar ka bojh humara rishta nahi utha paaya, bohot kamzor hogaya hai ab. Kabir, hume faqr hai tumpe ki tumne Zeenat bhabi ko diye hue saare vaade pure kiye...rukhsar ko bhi bacha laye hume khushi hai is baat ki...hum tumse naaraaz nahi hai kabir. Hum yeh bhi jaante hai ki tum aur biwiyan rakh sakte ho...par Kabir har biwi ke liye tumhare kuch farz bante hain. Tum unme ek tinka barabar bhi farq nahi kar sakte. Aur hum jaante hain ki tum apne farz se kabhi peeche nahi hat te...tum mohabbat toh humse karte ho par kisi aur ki taraf farz bhi nibhane padenge. Hum jaante hain ki jab tak hum yahan hain rukhsar ko uske haq nahi milenge aur tumhe yeh sab karne ke liye hum nahi keh sakte. Kabir humara dil itna bada nahi hai ki tumhe apne aakhon ke saamne kisi aur ke saath dekhenge. Is se behtar to yeh hai ke hum tumhe apne dil mein basa kar marjayein.

K: zara tumhare bina mai mar jaunga...tum meri puri zindagi ho zara

Z: tumhari zindagi ab jeete ji mar chuki hai kabir...yahan rahungi toh tumhe aur rukhsar ko dekh kar roz marungi aur tumse door jaungi toh waise tumhare bina marjaungi...kabir mujhe tumhare yaadon ke saath marna manzoor hai par tumhe kisi aur ke saath dekhna aur share karna manzoor nahi hai.

K: Zara mai Rukhsar ko talaaq de dunga...tum jo kahogi mai karunga magar mujhse door mat jaao...

Z: kabir phir talaaq jaisa shabd apne zuban par mat lana! Hum isse guzar chuke hain...nahi kabir dobara nahi!

K: Zara hum kya karein, hume kuch samajh nahi aaraha hai, khuda ka vaasta humari madad karo.

Z: wahi karo jo sab ke liye sahi hoga...kabir hume khula chahiye!

K: Zara yeh tum kya keh rahi ho? Tumhara dimagh toh theek hai! Tum aisa hargiz nahi karogi...

Z: kabir yehi sabke liye behtar hai...agar hum hi tumhare liye namehram ho jaayenge toh tum humare paas aane ka khayal bhi nahi kar sakte!

K: zara! Hum baith kar baat kar sakte hain...hum zaroor is masle ka kuch na kuch hal nikaalenge...zaara raat bohot ho chuki hai andar chal kar so jao!

Zara bent down and held his cheeks bas Kabir ab aur nahi...

K: zara hum jaante hai humse bohot ghaltiyan hui hai...par zara uski hume itni badi saza mat do!

She managed to loosen his grip and move away but kabir remained in the same position

Z: Ammi, abbu humne kabhi agar aapka dil dukhaya ho toh hume maaf karden, hum bohot khush naseeb hai ke hume aap jaise saas, sasur mile, hum aap sab logon se bohot pyaar karte hain, hume kisi se koi shikayat nahi hai, humne sab ko maaf kardiya hai...Rukhsar humne tumhe bhi maaf kardiya hai...tum dono jahan raho khush raho...

With that she picked up her belongings and began walking

Kabir ran behind her...zara kya tum mujhe sirf ek raat ki mohlat de sakti ho?

Z: kabir! Bas ab aage kuch nahi hume tumhare saath aur koi nayi yaadein nahin banani hain!

K: mai tumhe ghar toh chod hi sakta hun...

Z: mai chali jaungi!

K: zara jaane se pehle kya mai tumse ek cheez mang sakta hun? Ek baar zara ek baar hume gale laga lo...ek baar

Z: bilkul isi tarah maine tumse yehi maanga tha...us waqt tumne khuda ke dar se mujhe woh nahi diya par aaj main apne self-respect ki wajah se yeh tumhe nahi de sakti...jahan raho khush raho Kabir!

Saying that Zara walked out of the Ahmed household. A devastated Kabir fell crying to the floor.

Zara and Kabir had never had such a miserable night before. Kabir couldn't think straight he cursed the night he had got Rukhsar's call about her arrest. Every corner of his room reminded him of beautiful memories with Zara and he cried bitterly at each one... he had thrown and broken half the furniture in his room in frustration he had lost everything he had. He had lost his Zara...he couldn't even bear the thought of that, how was he going to live without her? He had never thought that he could love someone so much. He didn't know when and how that happened but Zara had become a part of him, but now he was empty completely empty. He had always been a practical man but right now he couldn't fight his heart for the first time his mind and heart were in sync with each other and all they wanted was...to be with Zara. He made up his mind to win her back no matter what.

On the other hand, Zara lay devastated on her bed, she was too broken to comprehend anything around her. At first she had cried on her mother's lap and later decided that she needed solitude. The hurt was too intense and no amount of tears would help her calm down. It just hurt like crap...she hugged her knees and cried on the floor...kabir tumne aisa kyun kiya she screamed, then she moved to the bed and burried her face in the pillow. She suddenly heard her phone ringing...to hell with whoever it is, she thought the last thing she wanted to do was to talk to someone. The phone kept ringing but she didn't want to see who it was. It rang again and finally she got frustrated and checked it only to find Kabir's name flashing away. She immediately cut the call. He called again and again and again and she kept cutting it each time until it was the 25th time that he had called. She picked the call to see his dishevelled state and puffy eyes from all the crying. She had never seen him like that and for a moment she thought her heart would melt, but no she had to gain control of herself.

Tumhe kya chahiye Kabir, mujhe baar baar phone mat kiya karo, mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni hai. Hume akela chod do.

K: Zara ruko phone mat katna. Please humse ek baar baat karlo. Dekho hum jaante hai jo hua bohot ghalat hua. Hum bilkul toot chuke hain Zara please wapis aajao mere paas. Zara Kabir Ahmed humari baat maanlo

Z: kabir yeh naam kal tak bhi hume bohot sukoon deta tha. Hum is naam pe kitna faqr karte the...par ab yeh naam hume qanjar jaise chubhta hai kabir. Tumne kaise humare jeete ji kisi aur se shaadi karli kabir. Kaise?

K: Zara woh humari majboori thi. Rukhsar ko bachane ke liye aur koi tareeka nahi tha. Zara humne dil se woh nikah qubool nahi kiya hai.

Z: dil se qubool toh hum dono ne humara nikah be qubool nahi kiya tha. Kabir kitni raaton main tumne humari taraf sirf apna farz nibhaya...mohabbat nahi. Kabir hum toh phir bhi ek dusre ko jaan rahe the. Tum toh Rukhsar ke pehle pyaar ho Kabir...agar woh tumse apna haq mangegi toh tum use mana nahi kar paoge kabir. Mai apni mohabbat kisi se bhi share nahi karsakti kabir. Mujhe soch kar bhi bura lagta hai ki tumhare woh haath jo kabhi humare baal mein aur humare chehre ko chua karte the woh kisi aur ko chuenge aur mai yeh seh nahi sakti ki mera shauhar kisi aur ko haath laga kar mere paas aaye. Nahi kabir ghin aati hai yeh soch kar.

K: zara tum kyun yeh fuzool baatein soch rahi ho aisa kuch nahi hoga...mai sirf tumhara hun aur tum par haq sirf mera hai...hum dono ke alava humari zindagi mai kisi teesre ki koi jagah nahi...

Z: mai chahti thi ke humari zindagi mai jab koi teesra aaye toh woh humara bacha ho kabir...par tumne mere saare armaano ka gala ghot dala. Is se behtar toh tum hume talaaq de dete...kam se kam is baat ka afsos toh na hota ke tumne beech raaste mein kisi aur ka haath thaam liya. Kabir tumhe khuda ka vaasta hai hume humare haal par chod do. Hume baar baar phone ya contact karne ki koshish mat karo.

Kabir began to cry: Zara please! Aisi baatein mat karo...kya hum is baat ka koi hal nahi nikaal sakte.

Z: bohot der ho chuki hai kabir. Ab kuch nahi ho sakta. Shayad Allah ne humara saath yahin tak likha tha.

K: nahi zara shaadi ka saath itna chota nahi ho sakta.

Z: humare case mein ho gaya hai kabir. Ab bas karo kabir tum bhi kuch nahi kar sakte. Is baat ko accept karne mei hi hum dono ki bhalayi hai. Kabir raat bohot ho chuki hai jaake so jaao

K: tumhare bina neend kahan aa rahi hai zara...yeh kamra hume kaatne ko daud raha hai

Zara controlled her tears and said: aadat daal lo kabir...yehi hum dono ki sachayi hai...khush raho kabir

K: mai tumhare bina khush kahan reh sakta hun...kya tum khush ho?

Z: jis ladki ke shauhar ka nikah dobara ho gaya ho kabir woh ladki kaise khush rahegi...

K: zara yeh jo kuch bhi hua na usse Allah ne hume apni ghaltiyon ka ehsaas dila diya hai...hume tumhare dard ka ehsaas ho raha hai zara...ek waqt tha ke jab tum hume khush karne har koshish kar rahi thi , hume paane ki koshish kar rahi thi... aur yeh koshish ke tumhara ghar basa rahe aur mai tumhe na chodun..tumne sab kiya jo tumhare bas mein.tha yahan tak ke apne aap ko badalne ki koshish ki taaki mai tumse raazi ho jaun aur talaaq rok dun...ab meri baari Zara mai jaanta hun ke ab tum humse raazi nahi ho...par zara hum yeh vaada karte hai...ke hum kuch bhi karenge taaki tum humse raazi ho jao. Hume is baat ka ehsaas hai zara ke hum kitne ghalat the. Allah hume maaf kare.

Z: kabir jo guzar gaya use bhula do...aur apni aage ki zindagi par dhyaan do kabir...Allah hafiz! With that zara cut the call.

K: Zara ruko...za...and the call for morning prayers were heard.

Kabir quickly did Wuzu and spread his prayer mat he was so used to reading his prayers along with zara...today there was an empty space. After finishing his Fajr namaaz. Kabir raised his hands and prayed to the Almighty:

Ya Allah! Humne Zara ko bohot dukh diye hain..humari madad farma take hum Zara ko apni zindagi main wapis laa sakein...hum apni gunahon ki maafi maangte hai...aur humari zindagi Zara ko humare paas wapis laane ki bheek maangte hai...aaj hum vada karte hain ki hum kisi ko bhi Zara aur humare beech aane nahi denge. He finished his prayers wiped his tears and said Zara begum hum tumhe waapis paa kar hi rahenge.

Kabir freshened up and got ready to begin his day...not that he had slept at night but he was ready to get his Zara back but not right now...he knew his ziddi biwi needed sometime. Just then he heard a knock on the door and to his annoyance he found Rukhsar at the door with a breakfast tray.

R: Assalamalaikum kabir

K: walaikum assalam

R: kya hua kabir tumhari haalath aisi kyun hai? Kya tum raat bhar soye nahi?

K: aisa kuch nahi hai

R: theek hai jaane do...hum tumhare liye naashta laye hain

K: hum zara ke bina naashta nahi karte. Yeh khaana tum hi khaalo

R: par Zara yahan nahi hai kabir...tum humare saath bhi kabhi kha sakte ho aakhir hum bhi tumhari bi...

K: bas rukhsar! Ek aur shabd nahi...humara nikah kis wajah se hua woh hum dono jaante hai...aisa kuch mat karna ya kehna jisse mai apna aapa kho baithun! Hum sirf aur sirf Zara ke shauhar hai.

R: maulvi sahab ko yeh pata hona chahiye ke unhe biwiyon mein farq nahi karna chahiye.

K: apni yeh bakwaas bandh karo aur hume badtameezi pe utarne ke liye instigate mat karo Rukhsar...humare saamne aana bhi mat. Tumhari jaan bachana humara farz tha toh humne woh kiya woh bhi humare shaadi shuda zindagi ko dauv par laga kar. Ab jab tak humari biwi zara kabir ahmed humare paas nahi aajati tab tak apni yeh bakwas mat karna...hum is masle ka hal zaroor nikaal lenge. Tumhe jo karna hai karo rukhsar par main tumhe biwi hone ke saare haq nahi de sakta..

R: par Islam to deta hai na kabir

K: bas karo rukhsar aisa lagta hai ke tumhe humse shaadi karne ki zyada khushi hai na ke apne jaan bachne ki. Shukr manao ke tum zinda ho...ab jao yahan se.
