Abu,
Jindagi Ki Har Lamho Me Apko Pate Hain,
Bhool Jayenge Khud Ko Par Apko Nahi Bhoolate Hain,
Jane Kya Baat Hai Aapme Ae Khuda,
Jitna Bhoolate Hain Aap Utna Yaad Aate Hain'
By Zoya
"Ouch"Rehaan winced. "Zoya tum mere zakhm ka illaz kar rahi ho ki naye Zakhm mujhe de rahi ho?"
"Stop fidgeting Rehaan. Tum tikh kar nahi betoge toh main medicine kaise lagaongi."
"hmm'ouch...pyar se'Toh yeh tumhare Jahapanah he huh? Tumne apni emails main bahut hi sahi description diya hain unka. Kya kaha ta tumne ki woh bilkul shero ki tarah looks deyte hai'Right on the marks huh'Woh toh mujhe aise dekh rahe hai jaise ki abhi mujhe Kahane wale hai'Ouch! Araam se Zoya!"
"Sorry" Zoya turned to find Asad pacing outside her bedroom. She turned back to her task
"Unhe mind mat karna Rehaan woh toh aise hi hai. Par tum ne yeh abhi tak nahi bataya ki tum India Kyun aaye hon'Yeh lo tumhare first aid hogaya hain."
Rehaan sat up and drank the glass of water that Zoya handed him
"Hmm' I got an photo assignment from National Geographic magazine. So I was gonna come to India'Jijju found some stuff that belonged to your abu in your Ami's belongings and wanted to send it to you'So I offered to bring it over'.Gives me a reason to drop in and check on you too."
"Tum mere abu ke cheeze laye ho. Wow thanks haan."
"Haan aur tum chaho toh kuch din rehkar tumhare investigation main help bhi kar sakta hoon"
"Are you sure tum mujhe help karna chahte hoon. Kyunki U S main toh tum kuch aur hi dun gaa rahe the'tum aur Aapi dono mere India aane ke khilaf the."
"Ya Zoya because we were worried about you. Man! You were talking about finding yourAbu after so many years. What if you don't find him? Or even worse what if you find him and then learn something terrible about him? Would you be able to handle that?
"I will deal with whatever comes in my way. Don't worry I will handle anything. But I need to know 'I need to know ki mere abu kaha hai' he is the only one I have got left Rehaan. I cant lose him too " Zoya choked
"Zoya..Zoya" Rehaan was exasperated " None of us is against you finding your abu 'we are just concerned about the danger that will follow you. You are trying to solve an 18 year old murder case. There is also foul play and cover up involved and not to mention an insurance scam. There are lot of questions and very few answers available. And how can you be sure your Abu is still alive?
"He is alive" zoya replied stubbornly
"How do you know? Because of a letter? Any one could have written that. If your Abu was really alive then why hasn't he made any efforts to communicate with you? Either he doesn't care about you or he has chosen not to contact you to ensure your safety. In either cases Zoya you trying to find him will only stir the pot."
Zoya was frustrated "Rehaan please. If you have come to discourage me. Toh tum yaha se jaa sakte ho. Par main apne Abu ko dunde bageyar nahi aana chahoongi"
Rehaan walked towards her putting his arm around her shoulder " No Zoya main tumhe discourage nahi karoonga'mere kuch din ki chutiya hain'toh main yaha rehkar tumhe help kar sakta hoon after all hum ek team hain yaar. And also it will give me some time to check out your Mr Sher Khan." Rehaan said in a cheerful tone glancing at Asad who was still pacing outside her corridor.
Zoya pushed Rehaan's hand off her shoulder " He is not my Mr Khan. Woh sirf meri guardian ban kar gumthe rehte hain. He doesn't like me and only puts up with me because I am Poophi's guest ' Besides he is engaged to someone else." Zoya bit off painfully
"Really." Rehaan sounded amused.
In truth Rehaan was finding the whole scenario with Mr Asad Ahmed Khan too hilarious. It was pretty clear that Zoya had fallen in love with the tyrant. But for whatever reasons the usually bold Zoya had chosen not to reveal her feelings to her quarry. And Mr Asad Ahmed Khan has got it bad too. But he just doesn't want to admit it either. The guy clearly was very possessive and protective about Zoya. And clearly he couldn't stand Zoya being close to anyone. Isn't that why he was currently digging a hole by pacing in the corridor. Might be fun to kick that horse or tickle the lion in this scenario. Rehaan liked what he saw in Asad. The man was every bit a perfect match for his Zoya. So why not stay here and play cupid for a while

Not very far away, a phone rang in a well to do house hold. Some one picked it up.
A soft voice spoke "May i speak to Bhaijaan?"
The voice on the other side was bit stern "Speaking."
"Bhaijaan aaj koi ladki community centre main Riyaz construction company ke baare main ponch taj kar rahi thi'Aur uske paas woh purane Khandar ke building ki bhi tasveer thi.."
There was silence on the other side.
Then the voice cracked sharply in to the receiver " Nazar rakho uspar."
