Chapter 2

"bhaiya!"zoya asked a man in muddy brown attire."mount abu ke liye bus kaha se jati hai?"she asked with a innocence.
"apko mount abu jana hai?"the man asked with the hint of tease.
zoya could feel is guage on her private parts which made her uncomfortable.she walked passed the man to find someone else for help.
but the man dint leave her way he followed her back and forth till she snapped at him irrtated.
"bhaiya ap mera peecha kyu kar rahe hai..jaiye yaha se." she tried to hide fear in her words.
Her anger just turned the man on and he quickly snapped his finger in to a click and there was three man his chamcha u may call standing right behind him.
he turned his head to shoulder.
"are bansi, madam ji ko mount abu jana hai...zara gadi nikal hum chor ate hai.!" he took a step close to her while she jumped a step behind and in a minute these goons had surrounded her ,locking every possible way to escape.
she looked here and there and tried to signall someone for help but it was waste as it was a odd time in afternoon and this time hardly any passengers travel to distance.
"dekhiye bhaiya..hatiye samne se warna main shor machaungi..!" she warned them all.

she stumble on her feet as she tried to make a sufficient and safe distance from all the men around her but it was too late..one of them uickly showing his reflexes sntched her hnd bg over her sgoulder..oy stumbled upon her feet as her body jerked with force.
wave of tears trvelled through her eyes as she felt humilited by them.she locked her eyes down on floor as her breathing picked up its speed.she felt horror run thru her vains as she felt man dangerously close to her from behind.she fidgeted her hand with other while her brain started to kick her for quick solution.

she cluthed the print of kuran over her bag.she holded tight s she tried to think uick to rect.her hnds fell on something cylindericl.she clutched it tight between her fingers nd her hert gve jump to the feel she hd.. feel of security.
she immenditely rn her fingers inside the bag as she pulled out the bottle out..it ws spray..she aimed the spray on the man who was close and with whoosh sound it got sprinlkled on his face plus coz of her wonderful aim the spray landed on every one stnding close to her.All the mn sat on floor holding their palm over their face.they scremed s the rub their fingers over eyes.zoya took it as an opportunity and she tried to cross pass the men.she pushed the men aside making the way to the exit as she ran randomly towrds the bus who was supoose to leave.she dodge few pssengers and quickly climbed up to the roof of bus .she settled down there and curled up in ball head burried in between knees.
she tried to compose herself as she sobbed on the event took place a while before.she turned to look here nd there so as to confirm whether those mens were still not following her.she turned her eyes towards the male figure staaring at her with out blink.she engrossed more her legs close to her body as she touched the book again over the cloth.A sigh of relief escaped her lips as she heard the voice of engine indicting the bus to start.But the hppiness she felt was momentary as she saw male figure running towards the bus and her gut yelled he ws one of those mens.she crouched a bit and hugged her body tight.As she felt the man will manage to reach the bus on time a bottle from no where appeared from behind with a force that hit him on his forehead making him daze instantly.
she thanked god clutching the book in her hand and smiled looking up to sky..she felt her shoulder relaxed as the bus surpss him and now hit the road.

An hour or so , zoya started to feel lightheaded ..the burn of sun left marks on her skin although she covered almost herself with her dupata.Her eyes slowly drifted to sleep as she tried hard to keep open.Traces of tears still could be witnessed in her brown orbs. Her eye lid turned heavier by each passing seconds and next thing she knows her eyes were sealed for dream..

"api!" a very young figure hardly in her twenties ppered from the cold aand heavy air.
zoya blinked her eyes to clear the pitcher for sometime..
"humaira.." zoya felt her heart filled with contentment as she saw her baby sister in front of her.
zoya ran towards her to engulfed her in an embrass but humaira backed off showing one hand in air motioning her to stop.

zoya felt her world scattered in to pieces as she saw a number of cuts and worse marks on her face and body.
"ye..ye!"zoya tried to find a word to express the pain she felt by seeing her sister in such a mess.

humaira eyes too watered the moment zoya 's tears dripped down her cheeks.
"api..I m sorry" humaira said with sadness in her voice.
zoya looked at her with so much of love and concern but was blocked as humaira's eyes glued in the floor.

zoya nodded her head in no as more tears welled up in her eyes. she still found difficult to catch up with words.

humaira looked up once at her elder sister and quickly gave a heart melting smile.

"ammi or aabu kaaise hai..or aap..ap kaise ho apa!" humara asked with aa glint of smile.

zoya broke from her melancholy and spoke a word after trying lot more times,.
"ghar chale ke khud dekh lo..sab rah dekh rahe hai hummy..ghar chalo mere sath.." zoya said with assurance smile.

humaira laughed on her sentence which made zoya question in furrow as what did i say to laugh?

"main nai aa sakti api..kabhi nai.." humaira said giving a sad smile ..her eyes contained so much of pain that zoya just wished to hug her sister once and sooth her with love , taking every pin out from her.

"kyu nai aa sakti?" zoya asked worried and angry..she rolled her eyes and tried to hold her emotion.."humaira..ghr chalo tum..sab bhot preshan hai..daro maat ..koi tumse kuch naai kaahega..or tumhri shadi ke liye bhi sab man jayenge..i promise..ab chalo.."zoya tried to hold herr hnd but it just slipped between her grip.zoya looked at her sister worried nd scared.her eyebrows crunched up nd she felt a bile appearing in her throat..
"meri shadi.."humaira nodded her head in no as a silence tears rolled down her cheeks.

"api..ap ghar laut jao..main nai aa sakti apke sath..ammi se kehna main unse bahot pyar karti hu..or abu ko hug kaarke bolna ke apki hummy ki ye naasamjhi maaf karde..or haan wo mere room ke upar meri diary hai..usme apke liye ek letter or ek tasveer hai..ap use zarur dekhlenaa..theek hai!" humaira said in a child like tone as more teras threatened to leve her eyes.

"nai..mere sath chalo..tum,...tum aise kyu bol rahi ho hummy.." zoya holded her hand and turned to leave when she felt a slippery sensation between her palm..she turned around and found hummy was missing..she kept on looking for her here and there..but could not see her..she called her name again and again..when she felt someone jerking up her body.

_______________
zoya opened her eyes just to see a group of crowd surrounded her with a concerned eyes.she got up slowly with the help of her hand.when she heard a old voice asking something to her.
"kya hua beta? bura sapna dekha kya?"zoya turned to see a old lady asking her with sweet voice.

"um..hm.." zoya nodded her head in yes..

she felt a cold hand brushing her cheeks its then she realized she was crying .she quickly brushed off the rest of tears and gave a assurance smile to everyone.
everyone got settled in their places .the aged woman passed her bottle to zoya ."ise pee lo beta!" she said in a slight commanding tone..
"zoya smiled at her and happily drank the water.she gulped sip by sip realizing how thirsty she was feeling.
she finished with water ans hand the bottle back to the lady.
"beta..tumhara marad kaha gaya?" the woman asked again brushing zoya's hair.
"marad?" zoya asked confused
"haan wo jiski tum god (lap) me soi thi?" the woman smiled again.

"ji kaun?" zoya asked more to herself thna to the womn.

"are wohi jo tumhara khyal rakh raha tha kab se!" the woman again threw a catch which zoya could not get it..
the woman stared zoya's face for two minutes but found nothing but confusion written ll over her face.she though to better drop the topic.
"main bhi kya puch rahi hu..jaane do beta..ao yaha sar rakh ke so jao!" the woman motion her hand and tapped her lap to signal zoya.
zoya was too tired to think anyone and anything apart from humaira and the dream she saw had shooked her to the core.she herslef dont know when she leaned over the womans lap. the woman patted her head lovingly and brushed her hair gently.it soothed zoya and a faint smile appeared on her face..
she slipped her hand toward her neck she touched the line of the chain beautifully settled on her neck.she traced her finger to the circle pendant hooked on the chain.
she took the pendant close to her eyes as she brought her other hand and pressed the side of the pendant gently and with a click sound it got open in to two.
in held the pitcher of zoya and humaira together.
she drop a kiss on the pendant as she clutched it on her heart.her eyes betrayed her as her mind screamed."main tumhe ghar le aungi hummy..vada!" she closed her eyes more as more tears formed in them.
(BG:Luka chupi bahot hui..samne aa ja na..
