"Apne appko sambhalo Zoya! Khuda ke liye! Please." Asad pleaded as Zoya drowned herself in the sea of her own tears. Her voice broken, the vocal chords shattered, evidently harmed by her high pitched wails, her eyes as blood shot red, her body as hot as a burning iron, also she seemed to have taken a running temperature and Asad could no longer take her pain anymore, himself. He parked the car with a jolt, ran down to be beside her and wrapped her into himself. But consoling her was of no use, as she broke further more down, screaming until she coughed up her hiccups, her nails dug into Asad's skin ripping it off in process but that didn't reduce anyone's pain. Especially her's. Asad hugged her. Let her be in his arms. Until, she felt better. Rather asleep. Asleep.

Jude jo tere khawab se
Toh toote hum neend se
Yeh kaisa tera ishq hai Saajna
----------------
"Ammi hume Zoya ke pass hi rehna chahiyeh."
"Haan Najma tum sahi keh rahi ho!" Dilshad said as she caressed asleep Zoya's hair. She already ran a temperature.
"Hume Zoya ki Jiju ko inform kar dena chahiyeh! If they can come or if I can fix something for them,by the earliest."
" Jo tum thik samjho Asad. "
" Jee Ammi. "
----------------
Ek tujhko hi bas dekh kar
Bhooli mujhko hi meri nazar
Tujhko shayad nahi hai khabar
Tujhko jeete hain hum kis kadar
----------------
" Zoo-yaa??!!" Asad said as he held her hand firmly in his. She faintly propped open her eyes, those eyes faintly slits.
"How are you feeling, now?"
"Paani!?"
He helped her with a glass of water. She gulped a bit and pulled the rest away.
"Better?" Asad asked as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Worry Concern Pain all three written over his face. But her face had more of a severer version than his. It was blood red and as swollen as a ripe pumpkin.
"I-want-"
"Yea Zoya-"
"Sleep!"
Zoya whispered as her voice broken from those mirror cracking wails. Asad lowered her pillows down and helped her to lie back and patted her forehead as she closed her eyes without any effort.
----------------
Tere bina kabhi raatein na ho meri
Tere kareeb ho, mere yeh din sabhi Jude jo tere khawab se
Toh toote hum neend se
Yeh kaisa tera ishq hai Saajna
Tu haathon mein toh hai mere
Hai kyun nahi laqeeron mein
Yeh kaisa tera ishq hai Saajna
---------------
On Asad's intensive persistence Najma & Dilshad had retired back to her room for the night Asad had made himself comfortable of Zoya's clothe-clad stool meanwhile. But Dilshad came back for the midnight's vigil and foun Asad's hands dangling, one beside him and the other on Zoya's. But the only thing missing was Zoya herself. The washroom's light was on. Dilshad breathed a relief. But Asad was a light sleeper; a slight moment would woken him up. Zoya must have not wanted to disturb him, but then something churned Dilshad's tummy.
"Zoya!!! Beta? You there?!!" Dilshad called out.
No Response.
Panic started to take over Dilshad.
"Zoyya?"
No response again.
"Zoyaa? Beta You Fine?"
A bit louder this time.
There was no other sound too. No other. Panic eloped her. She pushed the door. It opened ajar. The next thing she heard was, herself screaming "AASAADD!!"
Tanha kyu hai safar
Itna toh bata mujhe
"Tamater stop crying Zoya ko kuch nahi huya hai! Trust me!" Asad said as he hugged his sister.
"Zoya ne aisa karne ka sooch bhi liya kaise Bhaijan? Unko hamari parwah tak nahi thi? Appki bhi nahi??" Najma red from continuous crying, hiccuped her words out.
"Bewakoof hai naa issiliye!! Soocha hoga nahi ki tamater roo roo ke apna aisa haal kar legi, usse pata hota toh aisa nahi karti! Abb rona please bandh karo Tamater, Zoya ko bilkul pasand nahi, pata hai na?!!"
"Zoya thik ho jayegi na Bhai jan?"
Asad dried off the tears from his sister's face with utmost care as he hugged her.
"Kuch nahi hoga uss bewakoof jo, kuch kaise ho sakta hai?"
Asad hugged Najma back as he pecked her on the top of her head to assure her. Rather himself, as the flood gates broke loose.
----------------
Jude jo tere khawab se
Toh toote hum neend se
Yeh kaisa tera ishq hai Saajna
----------------
"Ammi mat poochi mujhe ki Zoya ne aisa kuyn kiya! Mujhe khud yakeen nahi ho raha ki Zoya ne itna bada kadam bina sooche samjhe kaise utha liya! Jitna dard apko ya usse ho raha hai, usse kaaii gunah dard mujhe mehsoos ho raha hai!"
"Kya majboori rahi hogi jiske wajah se woh becharie itani buri tarah se toote ke----Asad toh main kisse poochun??---Kya huya tha kal jo Zoya itni buri tarah se bikhar chuki hai?! Asad!!! Main tumse kuch pooch rahi hoon??!!"
Pain Aghast Agony Asad couldn't take it any longer.
"Asad tum mujhe kyun kuch nahi bata rahe?!!!" Dilshad held her son's arms, her watery eyes pleading to know the truth hidden from her, as Asad turned his face away unable to look into her eyes.
"Ammi mujhe mein utni takat nahi bachi aur. Mujhe maaf kijiye" Asad broke down on his mother's shoulders.
"Siddique-" Dilshad whimpered as her fears over took her.
"Tumhe batana padega Asad!! Asad bolo!!! Kya baat hai jo tum mujhse chupa rahe ho!!!Asi kaunsi baat hai jo Zoya jaisi samjhdaar bachi ko aise kaiyarro jaisi harkat karne pe majboor kar diya?!"
Asad swallowed his tears and exhaled deeply. "Mr Siddiquie asked Razia Siddique to kill Zoya's Ammi with Zoya as she was his illegitimate daughter!" Asad whimpered as he buried his face in his hands. Dilshad fell on the hospital's waiting chair beside him with a thud. Asad curled himself up on his Amii's lap as he cried.
