Wounded words...
My heart hurt when I found the truth..
My love was my soalce..
I tried to wake up from this dark dream..
But somehow the truth held on to its embrace..
The days went by but the pain remained..
The smiles came back but my soul refrained..
I couldnt resist so I decied to confront..
With wounded words..I returned the brunt..
But instead of support I was left in agony..
And instead of happiness, I encountered misery..
So now I sit back and stare...my life out of sync..
I run away from everything...allowing myself to think..
And 1234...and you twril her around...and hold on to her saree...you both look into each others eyes and you sing her the lines...Got it?? Instructed the choreographer.
Asad and Zoya had been in SanFransisco for a month now, and things had been going really well between the two. They were finally back to their old selves, happy, naughty and totally in love. Their fights were still the most endearing thing about them, but it was their unspoken bond that seemed to have evolved into a finetuned relationship. There were times when they talked all night, bickering, fighting, sharing and making love and there were times, when a single smile, a stolen galnce and a soft brush of a touch, gave them the tinge they so craved and ravished in their relationship.It was a constant rollercoaster of a realtionship and they wouldn't have it any other way. While on their personal front everything was going smoothly and fabulously, their professional lives were a challenge.It was a constant battle to act nonchalant in the presence of others, but luckily they managed.
Today it was their 2nd last day in the city, before they headed back home, with 1 short 2 day schedule remaining for them to shoot,after which the movie would be on its way to be released 2 months later.
They were finally shooting the last song of the movie, outdoors,Zoya looking every bit like the Yash raj heroines...draped in colorful chiffon sarees...hair dancing in the breeze,skin looking dewy in the warm afternoon sun.While Asad looked effortlessly handsome, in his white shirt, and jeans, His shirt loose and undone...his eyes drunk with desire as he savoured his Zoya in a saree..
Lana and Riley along with his girlfriend were on the sets, finally, Lana having a ball, her desire to watch a bollywood song and dance number, live in front of her eyes fulfilled.
So are you guys ready?? Asked the choreographer..Yes came the reply and Zoya and Asad took their spots, Zoya leaning down in Asad's arms, Asad staring into her eyes, the reality of his emotions for Zoya reflecting over the role he was playing.
Start sound and action...
The music filled in the open landscapes, Asad and Zoya swaying romantically in the music, radiating love, passion and loads of emotions...
And cut...that was awesome guys...now go change...we'll continue with the next outfits...
They both broke their embrace, conciously pushing the other away, as they made their way back to their vans, and they were back..after 20 minutes...with their next set of outfits...
And action...
Asad...picked Zoya up...kissing her forhead...Zoya hiding herself in his chest..blushing...singing the lines of the song...and he twriled her around..her saree flowing in the wind...the song doing its magic...the two..playing the role of lovers..to the T...La la la la la...filled the background...as Zoya got of his arms and ran away...doing the steps shown by the choreographer...teasing Asad...asking him to follow her...she ran...he chased...grabbing her by the waist...once again twriling her...Zoya laughing...And cut...
That was awesome you guys...lets take a break...and we'll finish the song..in the next location close by...after an hour..
~~
Asad went back to his vanity..only to find Ayaan busy skyping with his ammi...At first he smiled...but as he walked past the computer, only to see his ammi...smiling and laughing...the truth of her actions surfaced in front of his eyes...his heart ached...he had talked to his ammi after that incident..but somehow managed to keep his angst out of his voice..Dilshad was not to be told that Asad already knew...everyone agreeing to it...wanting this event to be erased fromtheir lives..But today..seeing his mom,just poked Asad...he needed some air...and so he walked away...not looking back to see Ayaan's reaction...
Walking up to the empty corners of the famrhouse...Asad paced...trying to calm his nerves, tryin to silence the voice inside him, that surfaced ever so often, asking him for answers...asking him for a reaction...It had been exactly a month since Zoya's birthday, since he found out..and ever since that day...he had not slept in peace...Knowing the magnitude of his mothers actions..its aftereffects, burned his soul...He would wake up every night and go up to the patio...staring at the sky for hours, trying to reason with his rage. He had only managed to stay sane because of Zoya,his respect his love, his adoration for his girl had grown in boundless magnitude, for what she had done for his family..and all that she had to go through beacause of his mother.He wanted to make it up to her, to give her everything she had to let go of, because of his mother. He had stayed happy, tried to forget, and continued to talk to his mother only for Zoya..but with every day...that went by, with every conversation he had with his mother...the task at hand became more and more difficult...his inner self pushing harder for some answers, for some action..
But today...looking at his mother..so happy, so unaware, so unrepentful of her actions just hit him hard.He battled once more within himself..to remember that she was his mother, the lady that had done so much for him, sacrficed her youth, her dreams to raise her kids. He had to battle within himself, to forget, that his mother had hurt his love...his Zoya, her action leadin up to their seperation and Zoya almost killing herself...He fisted his hands and grunted low...his rage building up...his head was at its last leg..ready to explode, his hands finally punching the tree on the side...scratching his knuckles, but still the rage wouldn't go...so he looked up and screamed...silently pleadin to god..to free him of his agony...
Zoya stood up with a jolt as she heard his distant scream, running towards the door, making her way to his voice..She knew his turmoil and chose to let him be, to give him his space,but now..she had to confront him to pacify him, that she understood and she was there...
She ran up to him...and hugged him tight...as he..shivered in rage...his hands possesively engulfing her in his arms...He closed his eyes and tried to hide under her neck...inhaling her scent...his senses, calming down instantly.His hands desperatly moved about her back...squeezing her in him tighter..closer...not wanting to let her go, Zoya wholeheartedly complied, caressing his head..as she whispered sweet nothings in his ears, gently kissing him in his hair...her small frame on her tiptoes..trying to hold him.
Finally they broke the hug, as they heard some noises, a silent acknowledgement passing thorugh their eyes, as they dawned their profeessional masks.
Everything alright sir..asked the AD..(assistant director) I heard you scream sir...so we came up running to see..
Asad-O yes its all good...I was just letting out some steam...he lied..
The crew looked about...curious, Zoya not meeting their gaze as she walked away...
Umm ok then sir...if it ok...we'll be resuming the shoot ...so please get ready if you can...with that they all walked back to their respective spots...the crew very confused..with what was going on...as they finally finished the shoot.
~~
Finally they were heading back...Asad and Zoya were on board to their flight back home.Ever since the last shoot 2 days ago Asad had receeded in his shell, brooding and unresponsive.The flicker of anger still played in his eyes, but he was careful not let that come across Zoya.Zoya let him be, as she busied herself with the movie on the screen, snaking her hand around his and leaning her head on his shoulders, Asad leaning back as he closed his eyes and dozed off. Vivid images of moments of silent tearless cries of himself, pricked his heart...his mom walking around the house being all normal,while he drank to keep living and to overshadow the images of Zoya..Zoya lying in a pool of blood, dripping from her veins in her hands, her body lifeless...their divorce papers...in her hand...
Zoya..he jerked awake...waking Zoya along...
Zoya-Asad what happened are you ok...Zoya asked concerned...her hands instinctively caressing his face...
He leaned in and closed his eyes..feelin her presence..
Asad-You're here...he whispered...
Zoya-Yes I am here and I am not goin anywhere...she cajoled ..What happened Asad...tell me..
Taking his face out of her hands he leaned on the seat..and closed his eyes, not responding to her question...
He was angry and now disturbed...and if anything else were to happen...he would blast...he would lose it...so he just stayed quiet and waited on his flight to land, wanting nothing but peace.
~~
But that's exactly what was not waiting for him outside the airport. As he made his way to his car, he was ambushed by swarms and swarms of reporters...asking him the crudest of questions, speculating him of having an affair with his costars..asking him to confirm or deny these rumors.Asad didn't react as he silently continued to walk up to his car, questions after questions adding to his anger...finally he managed to get in his car, driving away from the crowd...his mind reeling, throbbing and retaliating...Thankfully Zoya had already left long before him taking advantage of her anonymity, wanting to go to Nikhats home to spend the night, Mango already there from the last few days.
~~
Finally home, Asad retired to his room, freshning up and getting ready for bed.He called Zoya, talked to her, wished her goodnight and lay on his bed..Flipping through the channels.It felt weired sleeping without her now, but he understood, she missed her friend and wanted to stay with her for a few days..He was finally calming down, the empty house helping with his mood.Najma was spending the night at Nikhtas, Ayaan out to meet Humeira and ammi...well he didn't want to think about her.It was only 7pm so most likely she was gone to watch a play with her friends..
Not wanting to think anymore he concentrated on the shows on tv, watching some news, some sports in between and letting go...His eyes finally started to droop, making him almost doze off, when his name on the tv woke him up. He shook his head to wake up only to read the most crude and blatantly horrendous headline on the scree...
Superstar ke parda faash...behind the youth icons crystal clear image, is a man that,lures women into his trap, on the pretense of offering them a movie???...
Superstar's affair with his new costar...casting couch in play???
Superstar and new costar found kissing on the sets...who really is Mr Asad Ahmed Khan???
Mr Asad Ahmed Khan, sleeping with his costar???catch up on the juicy details later...first
Let us show you some clips of Mr Asad Ahmed Khan making out with his new costar...on the sets of his new movie...
Image after image of him kissing showed up on the screen, some hazy, some clearly showing his kissing Zoya...
His anger flaired...as all the news channels were dishing on this new found information...and even though he was used to such media attention...the last headlines...he heard..made him crack...
In a matter of a few months Mr Asad Ahmed Khan goes from being single, to engaged, to single again,to kissing in public,and now sleeping with his new costar..Who knew that Mr Asad Ahmed Khan was the man to launch wannabe callgirls...who are ready to do anything for some fame...
Here are the graphic pictures of their secret rendezvous.
Asad chucked his remote on to the wall...breakin it into pieces...as he once again grabbed the tv and shoved it into the wall..a lousd carsh filling the house...Ayaan who had just entered the house picking Dilshad up from the play rushed towards his brothers room,Dilshad follwing right behind, worried about her son...
Just as Asad shoved his side table on the floor...Ayaan entered the room, shocked at the scene...broken pieces of furniture lay all over the floor...Asad fisting his hand in the wall...swearing, his rage...heating up the room...
Ayaan-Kya hus bhaijaan..whats all this?? He asked concerned...
Asad-Just get out Ayaan and leave me alone...
Ayaan-But bhaijaan...he countered
Asad-JUST GO...
Dilshaad-Ayaan tum jao I'll take care of him...
Asad turned hearing his mom...his hand balling up into fists...his nose flaring up with anger...Ammi aap bhi chale jaaiye...I don't want to be around anybody...right now..he said with gritted teeth...
Dilshaad-Asad please calm down..and tell me what happened...tell me beta...
Asad-Ammi please leave...and please don't call me beta...
Dilshad was shocked to hear the hate in her sons voice...
Dilshad-Whats wrong beta...please tell me...I am worried about you...I cannot see you like this...it just breaks my heart..please tell me...she tried to touch him...but he shoved her away..her hand...hitting the broken shard of the table..cutting her skin...
Asad-JUST GET OUT...AND STOP PRETENDING...STOP LYING TO ME...STOP TELLING ME THAT YOU CARE...COS YOU DON'T..he yelled...taking Dilshad aback...
Dilshad-Asad what are you trying to tell me...
Asad-AMMI...AAJ TO IS LABZ KI KOI KEEMAT HI NAHI RAHI MERI ZINDAGI MEIN...AMMI TO WOH HOTI HAI JO APNE BACCHO KI KHUSHI KE LIYE APNI JAAN DE DETI HAI AUR AAP...he reaked of anger as he faced his mother..no longer holding back his words...AUR AAP..AAP NE TO..his eyes were red..with rage..burning his tears..as he spoke further...AUR AAP NE TO APNE BETE KI HI KHUSIYON KO AAG LAGA DI...YOU ARE A SELFISH MOTHER..WHO..TRIED TO BREAK HIS SONS MARRIAGE...AND ITS BECAUSE OF YOU THAT..ME AND ZOYA SEPERATED...ITS BECAUSE OF YOU..THAT ZOYA TRIED TO DIVORCE ME...ITS BECAUSE OF YOU...THAT SHE TRIED TO KILL HERSELF...AND YOU SAY YOU CARE...THAT YOU CANT SEE ME LIKE THIS..THEN WHY AMMI WHY?? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS...WHEN I WAS DYIN INSIDE..WHEN EVERYDAY..YOU WOULD SEE ME CRY INSIDE..BREAK INSIDE..PINE FOR ZOYA..CURSE HER HATE HER...WHY AMMI DID YOU NOT COME UP TO ME AND TELL ME THE REASON..THAT IT WAS YOU WHO ASKED ZOYA TO BREAK OUR MARRIAGE TO BREAK OUR RELATIONSHIP...YOU DID IT DESPITE KNOWING WHAT SHE MEANT FOR ME...AND YOU TELL ME THAT YOU CARE...NO YOU DON'T...AND AAJ TAK...JO MERA AAP KE LIYE RESPECT THA...he couldn't finish his sentence..as his resolve seemed to crack..so he just walked past Dilshad and left the house...leaving Dilshad..broken, crying and hurt...
Ayaan was the one who had come to her rescue, taking her to her room and putting her to bed...not knowing what to do next, so he called Zoya...and told her everything...Zoya wasting no time in rushing back home, attending to Dilshad...taking care of her..Pacifying her, telling her everything would be alright...Dilshaad finally sleeping.
~~
Asad didn't come back home the next day, and he didn't answer anyones phone, making Zoya mad, very mad...She kept herself busy ...taking care of Dilshad trying to lift her spirits, but Dilshad just sat on her bed and stared into nothing.
Zoya had no option but to wait for tommorow for the last segment of their shoot .She eagerly awatied tommorow, to see Asad and set his straight.With thoughts of confrontation, Zoya finally slept unable to help dreaming of Asad.
~~
Asad was on the sets by the time Zoya got there,busy with his shoot avoiding everyone, especially Ayaan. But with Zoya it was different. His eyes lit up as he saw her walking his way, forgetting the pain in his heart, making him want to smile, but one look at her and he knew...Zoya was mad. He decided to compose himself, busying himself with the script, but Zoya snatched it from his hands and shoved it in the air..
Zoya-WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF MR ASAD AHMED KHAN...THE SUPERSTAR OF THE NATION...she yelled...DO YOU HAVE ANY DECENCY WHAT SO EVER?? She shoved him in the chest...trying to aggitate him...Asad removed his shades and stared at her shocked by her actions...HOW COULD YOU DO WHAT YOU DID...WHO ARE YOU TO TAKE UP MY FIGHT...I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU BUT WHAT YOU DID...she took in a breath..her anger flaring at hotter temperatures...BUT WHAT YOU DID WAS BEYOND YOU...I TRULY NEVER EXPECTED THAT OUT OF YOU...I THOUGHT WE HAD TALKED BOUT IT...BUT HECK..WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM A SUPERSTAR LIKE YOU, WHO CAN ONLY THINK OF HIMSELF...she laughed..mocking him...making him mad as he heard her accusation..not even giving him a chance to explain...TODAY...I HAVE LOST THAT RESPECT FOR YOU...THAT YOU WOULD NEVER CROSS YOUR LINES...SHAME ON YOU...MR ASAD AHMED KHAN...with that she tried to walk away...but Asad grabbed her hand and pulled her back...
Asad-Just shut up...and GOD DAMN IT WOMAN LISTEN TO ME..
Zoya-LET GO OF ME...YOU...YOU JERK...YOU MIGHT BE A SUPERSTAR FOR EVERYBODY ELSE AND THEY MITE DANCE AT YOUR FINGER TIPS...BUT I AM NOT ONE OF THEM..SO DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME...she screamed as she jerked herself out of his grip..JUST GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME AND STAY AWAY FROM ME...I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU...MY BLOOD BOILS AT YOUR SIGHT AND WHAT YOU DID...JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AND DON'T SHOW ME YOUR FACE AGAIN..OR...with that she stomped off to her van leaving a very very angry Asad behind...
Asad-Well Miss Zoya Farooqi...if that's what you want...that's what you'll get...you wont see my face again...I'll see to it that your every wish is fulfilled...and soon you'll know if you give a damn about me or not...and then you'll know what Mr Asad Ahmed Khan is... With that he walked away...his conviction overpowering his reasoning...the words of the wounded...eclipsing..the words of the sane...
