The Blood Test Report: OS
Hi everyone,
So, here is my OS for the weekend based on the precap on Friday.
Let's assume, Zoya has successfully sent the vial of blood from Tanveer to the lab. Fortunately, no one caught her in her Zoya-turned-phlebotomist role.
BELL RINGS!
Dilshaad answered the front door.
"Yeh Ms Zoya Farroqui ke liye courier hai."
"Zoya ke liye?" Dilshaad stared at the envelope quizzically, "kahan se aaya hai?"
"Vishal Pathology Lab se hai madam. Aap yahan sign kar deejiye."
"Jee," a perplexed Dilshaad grabbed the envelope and wondered why Zoya would get a letter from a medical laboratory? Logic told her to leave it in Zoya's room, but her new status as her mother in law to be got the better of her.
She opened the envelope and was shocked to see the report : PREGNANCY TEST POSTIVE!
"Ya Allah!" Dilshaad covered her mouth with her palm, "yeh kab hua? Yeh dono ki dono bilkul chupe rustam nikle. Aur phir kehte hain ki nikaah ki itni jaldi kya hai?"
A livid Dilshaad rushed to Asad's room.
"Ammi? Kya hua? Aap itni pareshan kyun hain? Aapko doctor ne rest bataya hai." Asad tried to help his ammi to the sofa.
"ASAD! Tumhein Zoya se kal hi nikaah karna hoga."
"Magar ammi, aisa kya hua? Why this urgency? " He asked with a worried expression.
She sat down and handed him the lab report, "yeh sab kya hai Asad?"
Asad's eyeballs popped out of their sockets, "AMMI? YEH KYA HAI? WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE? KISKI REPORT HAI YEH?"
Dilshaad handed the envelope, addressed to Zoya Farooqui.
"How's that possible?" He was livid.
"Exactly Asad! Main bhi yeh jaan na chaahti hoon ki tumne us bechari ke saath yeh kya kar diya? Abhi tho nikaah bhi nahin hua. Haan main dadi ban na chaahti hoon, lekin kam se kam nikaah tak tho intezaar kiya hota Asad."
"Ammi! Wo bechari nahin hai! And-and-this-this is not true."
"Ismein saaf saaf likha hai Asad. Lab report galat kyun hogi?"
Asad shut his eyes in horror and turned away from his ammi. Flashbacks of the bhaang night crossed his mind. He knocked his forehead with his fist, trying his best to recall the details from that night.
"Kya soch rahe ho Asad? Ab tum logon ne jo galti ki hai, usey jald se jald sudhaar lo." Dilshaad touched his shoulder, "waise mujhey tum dono se yeh umeed nahin thi lekin agar galti ho gayi hai tho shukr hai Allah ka ki humein jald hi pata chal gaya hai. Main nikaah ki tareek change karke aati hoon."
Dilshaad left the room; her brain was on fire. She would have to adjust all the pre nikaah ceremonies and make the nikaah a priority. Even though a pregnant woman is not allowed to go through with a nikaah, she would make sure no one would find out the truth. Zoya's reputation was at stake and she couldn't take any chances.
Asad clinched his fists and dashed out of his room with the report in hand.
"MS FAROOQUI!" He barged into his room. Zoya had just stepped out of her bathroom and was drying her hair with a towel.
'MR. KHAN! AAP AISE KAISE, KNOCK KIYE BINA?" She screamed back.
"I NEED AN EXPLANATION MS FAROOQUI!" He held the report in front of her eyes, "yeh sab kaise hua?"
She was flabbergasted. Zoya grabbed the report from his hand and was stunned : PREGNANCY TEST POSITIVE! She let out a gasp and covered her mouth with her right hand.
"Yeh kiski report hai Mr. khan?"
"Mera dimaag kharab hai ki main aapko kisi aur ki lab report dikhaaunga?" His nostrils flared, "of course yeh aapki hai!"
"What?" She jumped back, "meri report? Are you crazy Mr. Khan?" She chuckled, "that's impossible."
"Why is it impossible?" He came forward and glared angrily.
"Because I say so," she shrugged her shoulders.
"How can you be so sure Ms Farooqui? Us raat- mera matlab hai- wo bhaang waali raat-aapko sab yaad hai?"
"Allah mian what's wrong with you Mr. Khan? Aisa kuch nahin hua tha wahan. Aap kuch bhi?" She shook her head in disbelief.
"Yeh sab aapki galti hai!" He snapped his finger at her, "aap na wo pakore khareed thi, aur na mujhy khaane padhte!"
"Excuse me Mr. Khan," she snapped back, "aapne pakore apni marzi se khaaye the, understand? I didn't force them on you."
"Yeah right! Khaaiye pakore Mr. Khan…,bahut swad hain…nimbu mirchi …etc etc. Naa jaane kyun aapki baaton mein aa gaya tha main?" Asad mocked at her and clenched his fists, ready to punch anything in sight.
"Ek minute. Ek minute!" She grabbed the envelope from his hand and checked the address: VISHAL PATHOLOGY LAB. She put two and two together and sighed with relief, "Mr. Khan. Pehle tho mera blood test hua nahin hai. Aur rahi report ki baat, tho yeh aapki tehzeeb-e-afta Tanveer ki blood test report hai!"
"What nonsense?" Asad gave her a I-can't-believe-you-just-said-that look.
"Jee Mr. Khan. Now it all makes sense. Tanveer us din isi liye behosh ho gayi thi. She is pregnant Mr. Khan!"
"Aapka dimaag tho kharaab nahin ho gaya hai? Us bechari, bholi bhaali ladki par itna ghatiya ilzaam laga rahi hain aap?"
"Mr. Khan, aur aap jo mujhpar ilzaam laga rahe hain, wo?" Zoya was offended, almost tearful.
"Tanveer ka tho nikaah bhi nahin hua hai. How can she?"
"Wo tho aap jaane aur aapki bachpan ki dost jaane. Par yeh report Tanveer ki hi hai."
"Aap aisa kaise keh sakti hain Ms Farooqui?"
"Ky-kyunki maine Tanveer ka blood test kiya tha," she replied sheepishly.
'WHAT? Aap ka dimaag kharaab ho gaya hai Ms Farooqui?"
"I was worried about her Mr. Khan. Koi aise hi behosh kaise ho sakta hai?"
"Tanveer ne aapko blood test karne diya?"
"Jee-wo-jee," she averted her gaze, "wo-wo so rahi thi tab."
Asad grabbed her by her arm and pulled her closer, "tho bina permission ke aapne uska blood le liya? Are you mad?"
"Mr. Khan!" She had tears in her eyes, "please leave me. You are hurting me."
He withdrew his hand and shut his eyes, "yeh sab aapki galti hai Ms. Farooqui."
"Aapko tho hamesha yahi lagta hai na Mr. Khan? Agar Tanveer pregnant hai tho ismein bhi meri hi galti hai!"
"This blood test report is wrong. Zaroor koi galti huyi hai. A-apne theek se sample nahin diya hoga." He stuttered.
Zoya shook her head, tears rolled down her eyes. This man was willing to believe that this report could be hers but when it comes to his childhood friend, he just wanted to turn a blind eye to anything she did. It all made sense to her now. That day at the clinic, Tanveer had disappeared without any information. Tanveer probably knew all along, but Asad would never believe her- he never had, and never would.
"Aapko jo samajhna hai samajh lee jiye Mr. Khan. I don't care but aapko yeh maloom hona chaahiye ki aapki bachpan ki dost shayad itni masoom nahin hai, jitna aap samajhte hain."
"Aap Tanveer se door hi rahiye Ms. Farooqui. She is my responsibility and I will take care of her. " He grabbed the report and dashed out of her room.
He was stunned to see Dilshaad at the door.
'Ammi aap?"
"Maine sab sun liya hai Asad."
"Ammi, aapne dekha Ms Farooqui Tanu par kaisa ilzaam laga rahin hain?"
"Asad, apne kamre mein jao. Let me take care of this." Dilshaad replied firmly, "yeh maamla ab meri zimmedari hai. Tumhare bas ki baat nahin hai."
'AMMI! Aap bhi Ms Farooqui ki baaton mein aa gayi?"
"Maine nikaah ki tareek fix kar di hai. Jao, uski tayyari karo tum. Tanu ki fikr mat karo aur aaj ke baad Zoya ko Tanveer ki wajah se kabhie pareshan mat karna! Zoya is your only responsibility- BAS KEH DIYA!"
