Ch9b

Nikhat couldn't go to sleep,ever since she walked out of Zoya's room, she felt restless. She knew her friend was in pain, but she didn't know how to help. She had tried to go back to her room on the pretense of giving her some milk, but Zoya didn't respond. Zoya wasn't sleeping, Nikhat knew, but she also knew that Zoya never shared her pain,her turmoil with anyone. Not knowing what to do, she finally called up aapi, subtly hinting her to call Zoya.

~~

Zoya was lost to the world, drowning herself in her tears, punishing her for breaking the one she loved more than herself. Asad's pain when he spoke, the sound of his broken heart, echoed in her soul..with every heartbeat. Her phone was ringing constantly, trying to pull her out, but she didn't care. She put her hands on her ears trying to block the sound, but it wouldn't stop. Dejected she picked up the phone only to be brought out of her state by a familiar voice.

Aapi-Zoya'

Zoya-Aapi, umm ...she couldn't collect herself to say anything.

Aapi-Zoya mera bachha have you been crying?? Kya hua batao mujhe??

Zoya-Aapi...and she broke down crying..

Aapi-Zoya kya hua please, tum mujhe daraa rahi ho'.

Zoya couldn't say anything, her words betrayed her, allowing only a single word slip.

Zoya-Asad'...and she broke down further.

Zeenat knew, she knew what the name meant to her, she had been there through it all. From the day Zoya had mentioned him the very first time, when she had confessed that she loved him, to the times in between; their togetherness, their connection and most importantly their love for each other. Their love was beyond the fickleness of today's world. It was a love that surpassed the tangible and connected them on a soul level. She had always supported their love, even at such a young age, becoming their strength through it all. And the day she opened the door, finding Zoya, with her bags, broken beyond repair by anyone else but him, she knew that the road ahead for the both of them without each other will be the hardest battles of their lives. She had just prayed every single night of her life, for them, to give them the strength to find each other again, or to move ahead. But hearing Zoya today she knew, there was no room for the second option.

Aapi-Zoya kya hua Asad ko?? Did you meet him?? Is he okay?? Kya hua please mujhe batao. Tell me everything,mein yahi hu mera bachaa tell me..

Her aapi's words touched her heart, and opened the doors to all that she had been keeping from her for the past month and a half. She started talking, only to stop once she was done, crying more and more with every experience.

Aapi just listened, silenty crying for both of them. She loved them both and had never wished for them to seprate, and then fight against each other, losing every time they moved away. But at this moment she had to help Zoya to pick herself up, she had to make Zoya see, see the whole picture and get out of this place of self-hatred.

Aapi-Zoya, I knew you had your reasons for not telling me, and I will not hold it against you. Infact mujhe tum par fakr hai ki tumne khuda ke diye gaye is imtahaan ko bakhubi nibhaaya. You stood strong through it all, tumne Asad ka saamna kiya aur aaj tum dono 4 saal baad ek dusre ke saath kaam kar rahe ho. That shows that all is not lost. Asad didn't push you away,infact who khud tumhare saath kaam karne ko raazi hua, that shows he still cares. But Zoya you need to be well aware that you left him stranded, not giving him a chance to stop you, to ask you why, and not even knowing the reason.I can imagine what he would have gone through, tum to uski zindagi thi, he started living when he found you, he built his dreams with you, learned how to love, learned about relationships and suddenly he was robbed off of everything. Jis insaan ne puri zindagi mohobbat se muh moda ho, woh pyaar kar baitha, and started believing only to be left betrayed. Uska gussa, uski naarazgi jaayaz hai Zoya, magar, tumhara yun haar kar tut jaana, is situation ka solution nahi. I want you to wipe your tears, and face it all like the brave girl you are. Meri Zoya ne mujhse vaada kiya tha ki who royegi nahi aur zindagi ke har imtahaan ko paas karegi, to aaj bhi Zoya woh vaada pura karegi aur apni zindagi se roothegi nahi. Stand up and face the world,be positive and never lose heart. Asad ko waqt do, let him have some space and think things thorugh. Tum apna kaam karo aur Allah se dua karo ki aap dono aage badh pao. Will you do this much for you aapi Zoya?

Zoya- Ji aapi promise, I will fight thorugh it and make things right. I love you aapi'. She finally smiled, ready to face tommorow.

~~

Unlike Zoya, Asad didn't face his pain, instead he busied himself with more work and more distractions.He avoided everyone associated with Zoya,even his brother. The moment he got home, he drank his way to sleep,clouding his emotions and drowning the voice of his heart. That was the only way he knew to cope with the pain he felt, had been feeling for the past 4 years. The day he had read her letter and the moments to follow had been harsher than death. He had lived through it, felt his heart break, again and again and again.He didn't know what to do, he couldn't breathe, he felt like an addict deprived of his drug,unable to survive, unable to do anything. His sisters phonecall, regarding his moms deteriorating health and his fathers fight with death was the last straw and he left everything behind,pursuing his responsibilites and quitting on his heart. His father passed the day after his arrival, sending his mom in a state of shock, and the rest was history. He was a dead man inside and he didn't care. His life left him the day Zoya left.

~~

The year had ended ushering in the new;it had been a week and finally Asad and Zoya were to be shooting again.

Expecting the reunion between Asad and Zoya to be unpredictable, Ayaan had insited Nikhat and Humeira to be present for the first shoot,to be there for Zoya.

They had all made it to the sets early,for Zoya to get ready.They were sitting and chatting in between Zoya's individual shots and anxiously looking around for any sight of Asad. Zoya was nervous, she didn't know what to expect, or how to handle Asad's presence. Will he be mad?,distant and not even acknowledge her or act all professional and focus on the scene? She remembered what her aapi had said, to give Asad some time so she decided to hold her own and keep things on a professional level.

Asad came in looking suave, ready for the shot. Seeing the girls around made him smile inwardly;He knew they were looking out for Zoya and somehow the thought of Zoya being cared for made him relax. He politely greeted them and headed to his spot. He spotted Zoya dicussing something with Ayaan and the assistant director. She seemed happy, she was laughing and seemed to be having a good conversation. He liked that and at the same time felt a little annoyed,how could she bounce back so easy? Did it not matter enough that she was enjoying and laughing, that too with another guys? He was a little irritated but decided to brush it off and put on his professional mask, as he saw them approaching.

After a curt hello, between the two, the team pursued the shooting. All throughout, there were 3 sets of eyes constantly analyzing Zoya and Asad's every move. Ayaan from his directors seat and between shots, with Nikhat and Humeira keeping eye on it all. The day went by, much smoothly than expected. Asad was accomadating and patient,playing his professionalism to the T and silently studying Zoya, while Zoya kept her cool, pushed through her nervousness and fought her desire to talk to him.

The shoot continued with no hassles for the coming days, Nikhat was back at her place and Humeira was busy with her work, but the 3 were still trying to collect their resources to decipher the story of Asad and Zoya. They just had to wait a little longer for Dilshaad to return and they would ask her if she knew anything.Ayaan kept the girls posted if anything happened on the sets. One of the things that Ayaan had been noticing a lot in the past days, which he had shared with the girls was Asad's fluctuating temper. Ever since the start of the schedule, Zoya had maintained some distance from Asad, keeping their conversations very formal and limited to their shots. After the shots Zoya would hang out with the guys, asking for tips and feedbacks, sharing stories and having a good time, while Asad would retract to his spot and stealthy observe Zoya. Ayaan had noticed that everytime, Zoya laughed or even patted someone on their shoulders, or if a guys was to hi-fi Zoya for something, Asad's eyes would fume. Slowly his fuming progressed from his eyes to his actions. He started snapping at his crew, reacting and suddenly cooling off.It felt to Ayaan that his brother was getting jealous, jealous that Zoya had been avoiding him and having a good time with the guys. This worried him,as he knew his brother too well, he knew that sooner or later he would blast, and he just prayed it didn't come out on him when he went to him with the next scene. He felt guilty for what he was about to ask. He had made a huge mistake with the contract by forgetting to put in a certain clause. The same went for Zoya, but now it was too late, and he had no choice but to walk the road and deal with consequences.

Talking with Zoya in this regard had been the most difficult thing he had done, and her reaction had just made things worse. She had refused, not agreeing to anything Ayaan said, walking out to get some air, and telling Ayaan to sort it out.

Ayaan walked into Asad's van, Zoya's no rining in his head,but he had to give it a try, see what his brothers take was.He entered the van and the conversation began.

Asad- Ayaan tum pagal to nahi ho gaye.. you know very clearly that I don't entertain such expectations in a film, then how did you even think I would do it. How could you even ask me. Ayaan I don't care what you do, but I need this sorted'.

Ayaan- I knew aap manaa karenge, but bhai its part of the contract, I cant go past It'.

Ayaan felt disheartnend and whispered to himself as started to stand.

Ayaan- Ab mein kya karu, ek taraf Zoya manaa kar rahi hai , that she wont get close to Asad bhaijaan, and ek taraf bhaijaan and his morals, beech mein kaun fasaa, mein'.

Asad- Ayaan stop, what did u just say?

Ayaan- Umm kya bhai jaan??

Asad- About Zoya not wanting to be close to me???

Ayaan- Who Umm bhaijaan, woh Zoya bhi yeh scene nahi karna chaahti, she says it is not something she is comfortable doing, being intimate with you and things to follow'.

Asad-Who the hell does she think she is, Abhi actress bhi nahi bani and she had started acting like a diva.Tell her if she doesn't want to do the scene then better get her lawyers involved and challenge the contract and pay the production house for the financial damage it will cause them, waiting on her'.

Ayaan- But bhaijaan, aap bhi to nahi karna chaahte, then why does it matter, we wont be able to do it anyways'.

Asad- Baat meri nahi, its about ethics,following through to what you promised, and when one doesn't do it, it doenst sit well with me. Haan yeh baat sach hai ki yeh mere morals ke khilaaf hai, but its not about me, its about her, and most importantly its about you. Mein yeh sab nahi karna chahta, but I cant get you into Trouble. Ayaan tumne mujhe aise situation mein daal diya hai. If I don't do it you get into trouble, and if I do it I'll be the a hypocrate in my own eyes.Damn it Ayaan,damn it...He paced around, fighting himself. Ya Allah mujhe maaf karna,Ayaan, im doing this for you'

Ayaan walked out...utterly confused with what just transpired. How had a no turned into a yes. Did his brother just say yes?? Well that got sorted on its own. Now he had to talk to Zoya...Allah help him.

After Ayaan's constant pleas and requests and some guilt tripping, Zoya had no choice but to agree, she knew she couldn't get out of it, and one way or the other she had to get through it. She convinced herself by telling it was Asad and not another guy thankfully, and it wont be the first time she would have to be in close proximity to him. Hell they knew each other's body like their own, she blushed at the thought, inviting some very vivid memories of their lovemaking. Brushing it off she hesitantly agreed, getting more and more nervous each second.

Asad on the other hand was questioning himself and his motives; why did he say yes? Was he really doing it for his brother or was it teach Zoya a lesson for her ignorance towards him, flirting with other guys, He fumed at the mere thought of that image, Zoya laughing and toughing other guys. Hell he'll show her he thought.

~~~

It was time, the shot was ready, the crew had been reduced to the bare essentials of 4-5 people. Asad and Zoya made their way to the set, Asad mad, while Zoya nervous, both willing yet unwilling to proceed with the scene.The scene was narrated, shocking them both at the level of intensity required by the scene. They looked at each other,trying to gauge the others thought process. They weren't ready for the scene. One of the crew member that Zoya had been hanging out, came by Zoya and gave her a side hug, telling her not to be nervous, and everything will be done alright. Seeing this made Asad lose his cool, his temper reaching new heights,Zoya unaware that she would be the victim of his anger.

Ayaan(director)- Ok so lets get ready, and once again, it's a scene where ur characters have parted ways a long time ago, and now have met again, after a long time. All your pent up anger has resurfaced with the turn of events and has finally broken the dam. He is mad at her for leaving him stranded, without answers, and he wants to punish her for giving him this pain. So he grabs her and one thing leads to another and they end up getting intimate.So we'll start from the scene where he corners her during the fight'.

For Asad and Zoya it seemed like the story of their lives.A nervous Zoya and a very angry Asad took their places and finally after a fortnight, Asad touched Zoya, holding her by her shoulders, mirriong his true emotions as the character. He looked into her eyes, demanding and holding her gaze, not allowing her to look away. She was dissolving under his gaze, much like her character, trying hard but failing to avoid his questioning eyes. She gave in,and looked back into his eyes, facing her truth.

And action'

Asad(character)-Kyun kiya tumne aisa mere saath,meri mohobbat pe tumhe itna bhi bharosa nahi tha? Aaj tumhari wajah se mein aisa hu. You broke me, and left me to burn, tell me why, I want an answer' He shook her

Zoya(character)- Chodo mujhe jaane do, mujhse tumse koi baat nahi karni, mein tumhare saath nahi rehna chaahti, chod mujhe; she cried, trying to free herself.

He pushed her into the wall holding her tight

Asad(character)-Aaj mein tumhe yahan mere sawaalo ke jawaab diye bina nahi jaane dunga'

Zooya(character)- Let me go I owe you nothing, I don't care what you expect I just wanna go, mein tumahri shakal bhi nahi dekhna chaahti'.

Asad(character)- Tell me you don't love me, tell me you never cared for me, aur in 5 saal mein tumhe meri yaad kabhi nahi aayi'

Zoya(character)- Nahi I don't love you, never did, I didn't think about you even for a single minute. Just let me go.

Instead of letting her go, he closed in the distance between them,making her gasp, involuntarily.

Asad(character) Are you sure??

Zoya (character) Yes I am sure, just let go off me;

Asad(character) Are you sure you don't feel anything when I do this? He gently caressed her cheek with his knuckle, making her breath hitch.' Are you sure you don't feel anything when I do this? He leaned in, gently gliding his lips from her ear to her shoulders, tactfully avoiding any contact, making her lean in. Are you sure you don't feel anything when I do this? His hand teased her bare skin of her waist, sliding his hands under the tee shirt, but not so much. Zoya was losing her senses, the invasion of emotions, clouding her judgment, blurring the line between acting and reality. Are you sure, he snaked his hand in her hair, making her look up, ravishing her neck with a kiss. This was the last straw for Zoya and she forgot everything. She almost moaned Asad's name, catching herself in the nick of time, turning Asad into an Aaah.

Zoya's moan, was Asad's undoing,the world around him faded, as he finally closed in. With the slow ease of a lion, he gently lingered around Zoya's lips,making her long to be touched. She pushed forward but he resisted, baiting her, teasing her.Her hands were restlessly exploring his strong muscular hands, tugging on them with urgency, making him swell with raw male satisfaction. He teased her with his fingers, with his mouth, with his body, making her squirm, her movements silently begging for him to end this turmoil, to lay claim on her. Pushing her into the wall with his body, he took her lower lip, tugging it between his lips, making her moan. With his hands leaving butterfly trails on her hands, leading to her waist and causing shivers down her spine, he finally took possession of her lips, kissing her senseless, making her surrender. She no longer owned herself, or her senses, and only Asad's strong arms, kept her from melting in the earth. The scene was raw, full of unshared emotions, oozing with an insatiable desire to possess the other. The deeper the kiss became, the bolder they became, trying to extinguish their hunger. Unable to take it any longer, Asad lifted Zoya from her waist, her legs wrapping around him and made their way to the bed. He unceremoniously dropped a very dazed Zoya on the bed, making her shudder. Taking off his tee-shirt in one swift motion, he prowled on top of her, enjoying the deep crimson, that had taken over Zoya's face. Zoya was awestruck, he was magnificent, par excellence, he was raw, rugged and ravishing and she wanted to burn in him. He held her gaze, drinking in every bit of her, slowly he pulled the sleeve off the shoulder and ravaged her with kisses, all the way to her ears, his other hand, grazing her back, her flawless skin like silk.

CUT that's a wrap. Awesome job you guys'

The sounds around them rocked them out of each other. The moment had abrubtly ended, making them very aware of their surroundings, the people around them and finally the position they were in. The jumped up, suddenly realizing what had transpired between them, not able to look up, not able to process what and how it happened.

Ayaan- Congrats bro, we got the shot in just 1 take, you guys were beyond amazing, the emotions, the angst,and most importantly the portrayal of the passion between the characters was so real it seemed like you guys were truly in love with each other' Ayaan eyed his brother suspiciously at the last statement, trying to catch a reaction.

But Asad just brushed it off.

Asad- Umm hmm, I'm glad it worked out in the first go' He turned away running his hands in his hair, trying to make sense, trying to calm his heartbeats. He started walking, but Ayaan's next words made him turn around.

Ayaan- Zoya where are you going. Zoya ruko'.Ayaan yelled.

Asad turned, to see Zoya, a very distraught and disheveled Zoya running out of the room and without giving it a second thought rushed behind her, leaving an audience that couldn't comprehend, what had happened.
