Part-21
Ayaan shouted with excitement , let's go for a picnic.. while Asad held his head, how will he handle the situation there. he dragged Ayaan to his room……
Now what bhaijaan? everything is going to be fine soon…..
no ayaan, its not fine yet….. Zoya doesn't speak a word to me….
and not even to me bhaijaan… when I come in front of her, she goes away without even looking at me…. even yesterday I offered her help to go to doctor, she didn't respond….
Yes, I know…. but how will I handle at farm house….
don't worry bhai jaan, she is quite understanding, she will not put you into any kind of delima there…
lets see, but I am not sure…
when zoya came in the room and said in a cold voice…. don't worry I am not going to put you two down in front of family…. and I did it for my family only….
zoya.. said Asad,
but she took her blanket and went in the other side of bed…
Zoya was sleeping on couch since their marriage but as her health was not too good so Asad had convinced her to sleep on bed instead of couch while he shifted on couch.
Next day all went for the farm house, all know they were going for picnic but they had planned it should be like a honeymoon for zoya and Asad too, so they had planned to give them enough privacy there while Ayaan was disturbed on their plan….
So one SUV and one car was arranged for farm house, all have occupied seats in SUV already leaving Asad and Zoya alone in the car…. Zoya had no other option except to join Asad…
As the jorney started, Asad tried to ask zoya being comfortable but she didn't replied…. in the mean time rain had started…. they were on the way when there car broke down and due to rain, mobile signal was down….. Asad tried to talk to ayaan and other family members but the signal was too weak that he could not understand even a word from their side…..
finally they had to stop in the midway, Asad called the mechanic from city… Asad could not let zoya stand on the road like this, so he looked on the road side….there was a small hotel there… Asad remembered , it was the same place where his car had already broken once when he was on the way to leave zoya to her home….
he took zoya to the guest house…. As they reached in the guest house and asked for a room…. Manager looked towards them…. Aap?
Aap humein zante hain? asked Asad..
haan, ap to wahi hain zo kuch din pehle inke sath yhan aye the, aur adhi raat ko kisi aur ke sath wapis chalegye the…… aur to aur paise bhi nahi diye the room ke…..
both zoya and Asad looked at each other in confusion….
what are yo saying Mr? Maine paise nahi diye they?
ji haan, aaj apko room nahi milega, free mein rehne wale logon ke liye yhan koi jgah nahi…. said Manager in anger…
Asad got angry, he took his purse and gave double to the room rent to manager… take it and book a room for us for today…..
Manager was quite happy…. Same room Sir? he said looking towards zoya, Asad was quite furious but had no other option he came in front of zoya covering her from the sight of that manager annd got room booked…
As Asad and zoya entered the room, zoya again remembered the glimpses of her dream and she just shivered on looking the same location, everything same as her dream… but hid her feelings while same happened with Asad and he became a bit suspicious…
Zoya, have seat here, I come after some time… he went away sending coffee for zoya…
He went to manager…
Yes Sir,
I want to talk to you…
ji?
tumne kha na main kisi aur ke sath yhan se gya tha?
Sir, i.. I don't remember much……….
Asad understood he needed money, he gave him a bundle of Rupees, a smile came on manager's face… and he started non stop…….
Yes sir, I remember, you came with this girl, had room, then you ask for coffee and something to eat, but we had just coffee, so you brought snacks from outside the hotel…
I remember till that… tell me what next? asked Asad irritated…
After that you went to your room with that madam… you had locked the room, but I just remember you both's laughter from the room.. as you too were enjoying a lot…. he gave a meaningful smile……. while Asad was all surprised.. (this means that was not a dream………….that actually happened….)
how do you remember all this? yhan to itne log ate hain…….
ji han, ate to bhut log hainlekin jate bhi apne partner ke sath hain, par ap akele aise the jo aye in madam ke sath aur gye kisi aur ke sath…….
what?
kaisi baat karte hain sir, apko yaad nahi…. jab ap ne room liya, tabhi ek madam bhi ayi aur unhone just apke sath wala room liya…. jab apke kamre se awajein ani band ho gyi, uske ek ghante baad ap, wo dusre room wali madam ke sath chale gye, apne unko aise pakad rakha tha jaise wo apki kuch khas ho… usse pehle hi in madam ko bhi koi aurat ye keh kar le gyi ke ye unki rishtedaar hai, behosh ho gyi hai, apne hi unhe phone karke bulaya tha…
what can you tell me any identity from any of two ladies?
I don't remember exactly, but both of them were covering their heads with dupatta while one of them was healthy and other was tall , smart and slim, that went with you…….. now can I go sir, I have enough work….
Asad gave him some more money……. last question, when did we all leave?
approximately at three am……..
What? (but tanveer said to me I came back home at twelve, this means tanveer was following us and it was she who took me with her and other lady must be razia….. who dropped zoya at her home…. and above all, that was not a dream. that really happened that night………. and above that, zoya's baby is mine?) Asad was thinking but could not notice zoya was standing behind him in all tears………
Zoya please , we need to talk…….. Asad pleaded….
No Mr. Khan, nothing is left now to talk about……. I wanted to know the truth and now I know it, now its time for me to leave……. zoya was packing her stuff at home, as they both had come back… because zoya was just crying on listening the truth…
No zoya, please don't leave……. I agree, I forgot everything about that night, I had a faded shade only……… but you remembered about that?
I also had just glimpses Mr. Khan, but I knew the truth that nothing happened between me and ayaan so I had come to ask you about that..
then why didn't you ask me? we could come to know the truth at the same time…
but did you give me a chance? it was you who were too judgmental that you thought, its ayaan who is the culprit…. anyways now it doesn't matter at all, I wanted to know the truth and destiny made it easy for me by sending us in the same hotel….. now I have no reason to stay here….. I am leaving…….. she picked her bag..
no zoya, you can't leave like this, you are going to give birth to my child, how can you keep me away from my child?
No, it will be just my baby. its just your one mistake and forget it as you already didn't remember anything……
no…… Asad shouted, don't call it a mistake………. It was not at all a mistake. it was my love… my love for you…….. Asad held her in his arms and said for the first time……….but zoya was still cold……may be her love was lost somewhere due to all that happened in last few days….
Love? that started with the effect of intoxication and finished with the same?
No zoya, it never finished, love was always there, but I could not realize it …. I was thinking about it, I should finish it off with tanveer and tell you how much I love you… but that night, I saw you with ayaan……. he folded his fist with anger……. but now I know, it was all plan of tanveer, may be she knew what happened in hotel room, that's why she spiked your and ayaan's drinks…and set you two in the room and it was she who asked me to find you…… now I got , she wanted me to see you with ayaan so that I may throw you out of my life……
Zoya, please don't leave me now,I have lost you many times before…… I can't let you go again from my life once again……and this time you are not alone, its our baby too….
Zoya was all in tears…. but she didn't speak a word and decided to leave…….
As she turned to go…….. Asad spoke…ok, you want to leave…….. go but just on ne condition, tell whole family the truth…….All including Ayaan must know its my baby and I don't want my baby to be called illegitimate.
Zoya turned back in surprise….
You have two options zoya, either come with me to the farm house or leave but after telling the whole truth to family…. I know you love the family very much, you can't leave them in so irresponsible way…
you know Mr. Khan, I am staying here just I was longing for a family, the love the respect, I got here, I can't hurt them…
so come with me, let it go on as it is going on….
No, now it is not ok……
but why? you know, I am the father of your baby, and you are married to me… and moreover…. Asad suddenly stopped what he was going to say….
Moreover what Mr. Khan?Yes, you are father of my baby and I am married to you…. but you didn't marry me because you thought it was your child, you married me thinking to cover up your brother's mistake………
but you…….. you said that night you love me……….. finally Asad spoke recollecting that night….
yes, I loved you………. I loved you when you declared me misfit fr your family…. I loved yo even when you stood by me in cae of finding about my father……. even I loved you since the say you announced to marry me……… I wanted to be with you…. always……… but not like this……. and from the day we got married, I don't love you anymore…………. I just hate you for playing with my emotions. you didn't even bother to ask me, what was in my mind………. I had just become a puppet in you two brothers….. as a little brother needed a doll once he lost and elder one decided to give him back without thinking how will the doll feel……..
no zoya, its not true, I did it because….
No its true, because you were concerned to just your brother… it was not your problem to bother about me and my child…….
It was my problem demn, I didn't want people to think wrong about you, to call you a mistress who didn't know her child's father…….. because I love you………… finally Asad shouted holding her closer to himself……..
Zoya broke down badly, she cried to her heart, but Asad didn't have words to speak anymore…….
finally he said while going away……. ok, its your decision, you want to leave…….. I will not stop…..i just wanted to take care of you always………. I am waiting for you outside in the car,, if you want to come to farm house, you may come otherwise, I will leave in five minutes and just a request,please leave home once I go……. I will not come after you but can't see you leaving too………
while zoya was siting on the floor all messed up and in tears……..
