"Honk, Honk" five cars honked past her trying to get her off on the side, but she was lost in her own misery. She kept on walking, not knowing where she was headed. In an instant of a moment she felt her hand gripped a by strong hand and she was being pulled on side of the road. It was so sudden that her balance tripped she along with the other person fell on the road, as a car sped past them. She got up and realized that the car would have slammed into her, if she was not pulled out of the way in time.
She got up and rubbed her arm, which was scrapped and bleeding from the road. The person who had pulled her stood next to her.
"Are you out of your mind Humaira, where were you lost, that you could not see the car the coming towards you, if I did not pull you in time, god knows what would have happened". He screamed at her, like she was a five year old child. Humaira looked up at him, a smile forming her lips, which faded quickly as she realized that she was not worth being save by him.
"why did you pull me, Ayaan?" She whispered in enough audible voice that it was heard by Ayaan, who glared at her.
"What kind of a question is that?, you were going to get hit by that car, if I didn't pull you….." His sentence was interrupted by her.
"you shouldn't have saved me Ayan, I am not worth it, all the pain you and your family went through was because of my parents, in fact you should not even look at me". Humaira said humiliated, and tears beginning to roll down her eyes. Ayaan looked at her surprised.
"You seriously have a mind of five years old, Humaira".
"what?", she looked up at him and he was smiling.
"I mean seriously Humaira, you want to be punished for something that was not your fault" He said stepping a little closer to her.
"I know, but I am related to the people who put you and your family through torture for 17 years, I am their daughter, you of all the people should hate me, despise me". She said in voice that was filled with self-hatred.
"Shh shh, Humaira, you being related to them, is not your fault, do not ever blame yourself for causing me pain or anyone else in my family, in fact you had done the opposite". He said putting his hands on her cheeks and wiping her tears.
"Humaira, you were always there to protect me, to support, you even went to extent of betraying your father to help my father, and I cannot ever view you as my enemy". He said stepping closer, Humaira felt her heartbeats increase, the distance she always tried to maintain with Ayaan after he had rejected the marriage proposal was being invaded, by him.
"The only thing, I view you as is my silly, beautiful, best friend, and please Humaira do not ever do anything this stupid ever again". He whispered, looking into her beautiful eyes.
"why you won't come save me again?". She asked. Ayaan looked at her innocent eyes and got lost in them.
"I would always come save you from every problem you have to face and if I can't save you I will be there with you to deal with it". He said with an intensity that was new to him, looking at her vulnerable, he realized that he could never see her in any troubles, he felt the need to protect her.
"Why? Hum aapke hain kaun". She said with a small smiled and her eyes glinting. Ayaan smirked.
"Oh ho Humaira begum, you have finally become flirtious". He said winking at her. She smiled, they did not how or why, but they hugged each other, it was romantic or sensual, but it was their first hug and it had different spark to it. Ayaan felt a new sensation, that he had never felt with any other girl.
"So anyways Miss. Flirtious, what were you doing on the road in the middle of the night?". Ayaan said breaking the hug.
"Nothing really, just trying to find a place, I can't go back home, I cannot face them, what they have done, I cannot accept it".
"Okay so you just thought that walking endlessly on road will lead you somewhere?". He asked with curiosity.
"Yah!, it lead me to you, didn't it?".
"well that's just by luck, anyways forget about everything and let's go home". He said taking her hand.
"Home? You mean Asad Bhaijaan's house, no Ayaan I cannot face your family, they will despise me, all the pain Dilshaad aunty and her family had to go through was also my parents fault, I can live with them". She said afraid.
"Humaira, I told you nothing was your fault, no will blame you, and I will be there with you, to protect you!, I promise let's go". He said pulling her hand, Humaira smiled and started walking towards him.
"And I do not think Asad Bhaijaan will even have a say in this!". Ayaan said after they had been walking for some time.
"what do you mean?" Humaira questioned.
"He is getting married to Miss Zoya Faruqui, now that will be an interesting even to be a part of". Ayaan smirked and Humaira smiled, she was finally with Ayaan maybe not the way she wanted, but it was much better than what she hoped for and it was marriage time in the Dilshaad house, maybe this was start of a new relation between her and Ayaan. They walked hand in hand towards their new world in Dilshaad's house.
I did not write the jodi's name in the title, because I know most people would have ignored it, since its on Ayaan and Humaira. I know that Ayaan needs to improve in his acting and they both need to work harder to deliver their scenes, but I do not see why they cannot be appreciated. I mean in my opinion they have been improving, Ayaan has been doing well to fit his character. I really enjoy the humaya jodi, I think that if creatives give them enough scenes and nice story line, it will be great for the show, they look really cute together.
If you guys really like the OS do tell me if you want me to continue and make it a short story.
