PART 6
Rashid cancelled all his meetings and returned to Mumbai immediately.. He started searching for Zoya in all possible places which Asad had told. Asad reached Bhopal as soon as possible...
Siddique Mansion
Asad : Ayaan itne saare log hain yahan.. phir bhi aap mein se kisine Zoya ko rok ne ki koshish nahin ki... ??
Gaffur : Asad.. beta.. galti meri hain.. sab se phele muje apni bacchi ko yeh sab bata dena chahiye tha...
Asad : Aap itna bada sach kaise Zoya se chipa saktein hain ??
Gaffur : Manta hoon.. lekin kabhi himmat hi nahin hui.. aur aaj achanak yeh sab...
Najma had also come down along with Imran.. Everybody were equally worried for Zoya.. Her phone was continuously switched off..None of them at home were in mood to have lunch ...
Asad excused himself and went to Zoya's room hoping to find any clue which could help him trace her out...
He could still feel her frangrance in the room.. He looked around the room and did not know from where to search and he also did not know what he was searching for in this room.. He moved first to the dressing table.. The photo frame which he had seen last time adoring Zoya's snap was lying flat now.. He lifted it up only to find his snap.. It was the one which Zoya had clicked during Najma's wedding when he had smiled.. He kept it back as it was earlier..
He ran through her cupboards.. which had her engineering books , his childhood comic books , his toys and also some of his childhood dresses.. along with it , his grey suit which was left behind during Najma's wedding was also neatly dry cleaned and hung.. He was impressed.. She had taken lot of care to ensure that his childhood memory was intact...He also found few snaps along with his family members...
Asad's thoughts : Zoya.. kahan ho... muje please phone karo.. Mein samaj sakta hoon.. apki halat.. please phone karo.. mein apke saath hoon...
As he was going through the drawers, his phone buzzed with Zoya's number...
Asad : Zoya .. kahan hain aap ??
Zoya : Aap please Bhopal ayenge ?? Muje aapse milna hain..
Asad : Zoya.. mein Bhopal mein hi hoon.. Batao kahan par hain aap ?
After knowing the location, Asad immediately started .. He told everybody that he would go out and search for Zoya ...
Zoya had gone to the same orphanage from where she was adopted.. She was feeling betrayed... How could her own abbu do this to her ?? She was sitting in the garden which was in the campus of the orphanage and crying for hours together.. She had visited the Orphanage whenever she would find time and she would spend time with the children over there by either guiding them in their studies or sports.. and she would also take chocolates and toys to the small children . She had not disclosed all this to anybody at home.. not even her buddies Ayaan and Najma...
Asad was relieved that Zoya had called up to him.. He reached the orphanage as soon as possible..
Zoya was sitting on one of the benches in the garden .. Her face had become very pale and tierd...As soon as Asad called out her name, she looked up to him and fresh tears started running down from her eyes.. She hugged him with more tears...He allowed her to cry for sometime..and calm down...
Asad : Zoya.. pehle apne aap ko sambhalo...Please Zoya...Mein samaj sakta hoon tum par kya beeth rahi hogi... mujse zyada aur kaun samaj saktha hain.. lekin istarah sabse naraz hokar aise ghar se chale jana accha nahin hain...
Asad's words brought a smile on Zoya's face...She looked up to him...
Zoya : Yeh aap keh rahein hain.. jise aaj tak apne ammi ko maaf nahin kiya ??
Asad also smiled : Zoya.. jo galti meine ki.. wahin galti tum math karo... Tumne hi meri galti ka ehsaas kiya hain na ?? muje malum hain ki meri Zoya bahut hi strong hain.. aur iska bhi samna himmat se karegi...phele apne abbu se baat karke dekho.. shayad unka bhi koi majboori rahi hogi... mana ki unka bhi galti hain.. lekin jo hua hain use hum badal to nahin saktein hain...Samaj rahi ho na .. mein Kya keh raha hoon ?
Zoya: Ji...
Asad : Aapko patha hain mein kitna pareshan hogaya tha.. ?? Main bahut dar gaya tha.. soch soch ke ki aap kahan ja sakti hain.. Muje kushi hain... ki apne sab se pehle muje call ki...aur haan.. mein chatha hoon.. ki jab humara nikaah ho .. tab sabki dua aur ashriwad mile...
Zoya looked up with a mischievous smile ...
Asad : Kya hua ?? Aise dekh rahi ho jaise meine kuch galat keh diya hain...
Zoya : galat nahin.. ek sharth par...
Asad : Sharth ??
Zoya : Ji..mein abbu se baath karungi.. lekin apko muje promise karna hoga.. ki aap bhi Shireen ammi se baath karenge..
Asad : Haan Zoya.. aaj mein bhi ammi se baat karoonga...
Asad called up Rashid and Dilshad and informed them that Zoya was safe and fine.. and that he would be returning the next day back to Mumbai along with Zoya...
It was late evening when Asad and Zoya returned back to Siddique Mansion... The other men - Gaffur, Ayaan and Imran had gone all around the city in search of Zoya and had returned.. couple of minutes back...
Gaffur was the first one to notice Asad and Zoya entering the house.. He was very happy to get his daughter back...As the others also noticed them.. there was lot of relief in everybody's faces..Asad gently squeezed Zoya's hands assuring her that everything will be fine.
Gaffur : Zoya.. muje maaf kardo meri bacchi... meine aaj tak yeh sab tumhe nahin bataya kyunki muje laga ki tum muje aur apni ammi ko samaj nahin sakogi...
Zoya : Abbu.. Naraz to hoon.. muje aaj tak yeh bhi nahi malum meri ammi kaise thi.. kaun thi...aap jante hain na abbu mein hamesha soch thi ki mere abbu aur ammi ne muje wahan anathaly mein kyun chodke chalegaye...?? Mein sochthi thi woh kaun hain .. kaise the.. lekin aap ne mujse yeh sab...
Gaffur : Zoya.. maaf kardo bacchi... please.. Agar tumhari ammi zinda hoti to tumhe yeh sab jooth sehna nahin padtha..
Gaffur narrated to Zoya again how he had met Zainab and about their secret nikaah... And also about her accident and death...
Gaffur : Chalo beta.. ghar mein subah se kisine kuch nahin khaya.. khana khatein hain...
Zoya : Kuch dher aur abbu.. and she turned around and looked at Asad...
Asad slowly moved towards Shireen...
Asad : Ammi...
Just hearing the word ammi from Asad's mouth melted Shireen's heart...
Shireen held Asad's hand and started crying...
Asad : Ammi.. please.. muje maaf kardijiye.. mein apse itne saal tak naraz tha...
Shireen : Asad.. itne saal tak door the aur hum mile nahin.. iska yeh matlab to nahin ki mein apse pyaar nahin karti beta.. Mereliye Ayaan, tum aur Najma teeno ek saman ho...
Asad : Janta hoon ammi...
Shireen : Asad.. sab meri galti thi muje malum hain maine Rashid ko aur tumhe zyada dukh diya hain.. meri galti ko sudharne ka mauka bhi allah ne muje nahin di.. lekin mein Rashid aur Dilshad keliye bhaut kush hoon.. tumhari kamyabi se bhi bahut kush hoon beta...
Asad was getting very emotional.. Finally, he left all his anger and hesitation and hugged his mother .. Ayaan and Najma also joined them..
Shireen : Mein Asad ko sevaiya banake lathi hoon..
Zoya : Nahin ammi.. mein banati hoon... aap Asad ke saath bait kar baath kijiye...
Humeira : Nahin.. aap dono kuch nahin karegi.. Zoya aap ko apne abbu se aur batein karni hogi.. aur ammi aap apne bte se...Aap sab bait kar batein kijiye.. Mei aur Khala banadenge.. chaliye Khala...
Razia was happy that Zoya had gone missing since morning and she hoped Zoya would not return but now she was upset and also angry at Humeira.. for supporting them...She excused herself with an head ache and went to her room..
After dinner, everybody had gathered in the drawing room...
Asad : Mamu.. mein apse ek baat kehna chatha hoon...He looked at Zoya once before he could proceed...Mein aur Zoya.. ek dusre se pyaar kartein hain.. aur Zoya ke exams ke baad nikaah karna chathe hain...
Zoya who was sitting with her abbu.. : Ji abbu.. Mein Asad ke saath bahut kush rahoongi...Trust me..
Humeira looked at Ayaan and she understood what could be going on in his mind and heart.. She slowly went and sat next to him and took his hands in hers and smiled at him.. assuring him that she will always be there for him...
Shireen was happy to see Humeira's actions.. She was also happy for Asad since he was getting one of the best girls she knew.. Zoya is a daughter to her and she also knew that the she was the reason for bridging the gap between her son and her...
Najma : Wow.. yeh to accha hua..bahut hi kushi ki baat hain.. lekin Zoya tum kal wapis Mumbai ja rahi ho na.. project khatam hote hi exams shuru hojayega.. muje Zoya ke paas kuch din rehna hain..
Humeira : Muje bhi.. mein bhi Zoya ke saath kuch din bitana chathi hoon.. to nikaah ek saal baad rakthein hain...Kyun ammi ??
Asad : Nahin.. Nahin.. nikaah to exams khatam hote hi hoga...and as soon as he realized it.. he looked away embarrassed while Zoya was blushing away...
Zoya : Najma.. Humeira.. aap sab mere saath waqt guzarna chathi hain na.. to aap dono bhi mere saath kuch din keliye apne partners ke saath Mumbai aajao...
Ayaan : Nahin Zoya.. tum is ghar ki beti ho... tum aur Asad .. kuch din hum sab ke saath raho.. nikaah yahi hoga..aur haan.. abbu aur choti ammi ko bhi leke aao.. Mamu aura mmi ko bhi kushi hogi...aur Asad...Zoya se hum sab bahut pyar kartein hain.. tum please uska khayal rakna.. mein janta hoon ki woh tumhare saath bahut kush hogi..
Shireen looked proudly at Ayaan while Humeira was also happy with this... However the only person who was not happy was Razia...
Razia's thoughts : Agar... Zoya kal Mumbai wapis chaljayegi.. to muje kuch karneka mauka nahin milega..in logon ko dekh kar lagta hain.. Ayaan apne hisse ka jayjat bhi Zoya ke naam kardega.. mein inke wasiyat ko badalne mein zaroor majboor kardungi.. aur inhone bhi muje itne saal se dhoka diya hain.. inse bhi muje badla lena hain.. jo bhi karna hain muje aaj raat hi karna hain...Zoya tum mujse bach nahin sakti ho...
