CH27

Fragile heart

A fragile heart was broken before
I don't think it could endure another pain
But there's a voice from deep inside of you
That's calling out to make you realize

That this new bond gives inspiration
To all who feel no love appeal no more
So how can I break this wall around you
That's aiding both our hearts to grow in pain?

So forget your past and we can dream tomorrow
Save our hearts for care and lovin' too
It's hard, I know, but oh, one thing's for sure
Don't go and break this fragile heart

A hurting mind in need of emotion
I don't think I could endure another pain
But baby, in you, I've found affection
Affection I have never felt before
So don't let your past destroy what comes tomorrow
Don't go and break my fragile heart

With all this fire that burns between us
There's so much to lose, yet so much more to gain
And if I could choose the world around me
The world I'd choose would all revolve around you
So help me complete the game inside me
And help me to mend, to mend this fragile heart

Westlife..meri jaan...always to my rescue..when I suffer from peotic inertia

Asad and Zoya lay on the opposite sides of the city on their lonely beds, staring up at the ceiling, surrendering themselves in the vortex of their emotions.They both hurt, they both were pained and they both were drowning in the sorrows of their incompleteness.But what was done was done.Their actions had reactions and the only way away from them was to walk through the fires of their repentance. Asad cursed himself for spewing vile remarks to his mother, stooping to a level he fought so hard not to succumb to but here he was in an empty hotel room away from his home, away from his loved ones, punishing himself yet again for his actions. He couldn't sleep that night, he was haunted and hurt and even though he had his reasons to react, he would have ripped his tongue out had he known what he would say to his mother.Her actoins werent justified, but neither were his words and with that he knew..he was wrong.With this realisation forgiveness came easy, clearing up the tab, clearing up the hurt he had to go through because of his mom, his only desire now, to apologise to her, but not to Zoya.She had definetly crossed her lines this time and he was in no mood to let it go.Instead of understaning his plight she had chosen to accuse him, to question his integrity, no that wasn't done.His heart told him to let go, he needed her, but his ego was stubborn, and he was not willing to let go just yet. She had wanted not to see his face, and that's exactly what he had decided to do.His movie schedule for 1 of his other movies required him to fly out for a few days, and that being set, was the only sense of supeficial satisfaction he basked in. Maybe a few days away from him would make her realise that she was wrong, that she overreacted and didn't give him a chance to explain.

But Zoya didn't need an explaination, she knew, she knew her actions and their reactions, she knew what Asad had been going through and yet she had said what she had said.And now as the loneliness made her face her inner voice highlighting her words, she flinched feeling extremely guilty. Finally after so much of unheavel in their lives, they had found each other and here she was, being impulsive acting out before thinking saying things she could never mean. Yes Asad had crossed his lines, by exploding at ammi, but instead of confronting him and working it out, she had added on her own to the permutation, making things worse than they already were. She was missing him, she wanted to say sorry, but Asad had closed himself out.He had not responded to her messages, or phone calls and had somehow managed to steer clear of her all through the shoot.Maybe tommorow she thought, maybe he'll be back on the sets and then she would make things right. She prayed to god for that to happen, wanting badly to make peace in the family.

~~

The next day after checking up and Dilshad and spending some time with her, she left for her dubbing, hoping to see Asad at the studio. She had finally gotten the chance to talk to Dilshad and how she felt to which Dilshad had very genuinely responded, that she was quite alright, infact what Asad said was expected out of him, he was right, I did lie and pretend to care, when all along I had the choice to make things right for him.Her staement made Zoya feel even more guilty for interfering even if it was for a good cause.Finally picking up her purse she made her way to the studio, where swarms and swarms of media stood there with the video cameras and mics, rushing towards her car to ask her questions after questions...

Kya aap wahi hai jiska affair Mr Asad Ahmed Khan se chal raha hai??

Did you sleep with him for the movie??

What did he make you do in return for getting an A grade movie??

Are you a victim of the casting couch??

Miss farooqi miss farooqi Miss farooqi miss farooqi

Miss farooqi miss farooqi

Finally in she leaned on the wall and took in a deep breath still unable to gauge on what had just happened...Did she hear them right?? What was going on??

She quickly called on Ayaan..

Zoya-Ayaan what's going on?? I just got ambushed by huge group of paparazzi asking me the most ridicilious questions...

Ayaan-Zoya its bad...its really bad...the pictures of you and bhaijaan have leaked all over the web and the media seems to have got a hand on them...and they are milking this cow like there's no tommorow...and on top of it...bhaijaan's case for the beach incident is getting affected by sucha negetive media attention...his image is being slaughtered...Aaj tak they had nothing against him..so they made up stories...but now they have evidence..n they r leaving no stone unturned...tum please try to stay away from this..or they wont spare you either...Just stay at the studio and call me once you're done..I'll send the driver to pick you up..

Zoya was aghast at what she heard, her first concern being Asad...

Zoya-Ayaan what about Asad...how is he dealing with all this?? She asked..very worried for his well being..

Ayaan-Asad bhaijaan...is fine now...he already knew about it when you landed...I think he saw the news...and lost his temper...but thankfully now that he is on his way out of the country for the next few days...I think these rumors should die down pretty soon...you just steer clear of this mess...as it its on the news 24/7...Zoya call me when you're done..I gotta go now..

Zoya was numb by the time she put the phone down..the magnitude of the situation...finally setting in, her heart aching to be in Asad's arms, wanting him to sheild her from all the madness..But Asad was not here...Zoya shiverd at the thought...as she barely managed to compose herself and walk into the recording studio.

~~

Asad's flight was leaving in 4 hours,but before he left he needed to get a few things right. Mustering up the courage, he finally stepped into his house, to his room to get his stuff. He stepped out only to stop in his tracks, his eyes wandering off to the stairs leading up to his mothers room.Slowly as against his own stubborn will he made his way to her room, gently pushing the door open, his ammi sitting on the bed with the prayers beads in her hands...She seemed to be oblivious of his presence, allowing for Asad to walk up to her and kneeling down by the bed, slowly restin his head in her lap. His action made Dilshaad open her eyes, her hands easily caressing his forehead as a small smile crept up on her face..

Asad just closed his eyes and allowed him to feel the peace to be in his mothers lap. Ever since childhood everytime that he felt low or had done something wrong and was troubled, he would go up to his mom and lay his head in her lap and let her soothe him, her touch taking away all the pain and the negative from him.Even today, this emotion was as potent, Asad instantly feeling releived...He stayed like that for a long time, forgetting everything,the only glitch in his peace, his guilt.

Slowly he stood up..and looked into his ammi's eyes, his eyes..struggling to maintain the strength.

Asad-Ammi I am sorry...he said...not capable to add anything further...his mother easily understanding his plight.

Dilshaad-Nahi Asad you don't need to be sorry...I deserved to hear every single word you said.Finally after 5 years of living in the guilt of not telling you, your words freed me of that guilt. I accepted everything that you said...cos it was the truth..so please Asad...don't weigh yourself down..

Asad-Magar ammi...you have taught me better...and I crossed those lines that night..so punish me like you used to, when I Did something wrong...he looked into her eyes with regret..and expecting a punishment...

But Dilshad just took his face in her hands and kissed his forehead, her smile..genuine and her tears of joy flowing easily from her eyes...

Dilshad-Pehle Asad tell me do you forgive me??? Beacause it should be me who needs to be punished, by you and especially by Zoya. I have done you both wrong, and I need to deal with my penance. Asad all these years when I saw you everyday, killing yourself from within, your smile gone somewhere..I would walk up to you..and try to tell you the truth...but I was never able to muster the courage. The death of your father made me a weak woman,and that weakness made me do a lot of things I regret doing. I was scared from that day onwards, to lose you and I made the wrong call.Then when you came back, you were no longer yourself.I saw it even when I was lost to the world in the few months following your fathers death.But I was scared, I didn't want to lose you again.It was only your presence that made me want to pull myself out of gloom of losing the one you love. It was you that pulled me out, and made me alive again. The need to have my son with me made me selfish, and it made me lie.I tried to overlook your pain telling myself that you will get over it, but I was lying to myself, coz I knew what Zoya means to you.she means to you what your father meant to me.But by the time I realised that, you were lost, you no longer responded to anything. There was a time when I wrote you a letter confessing all of my sins and coming out clean and I left it by your nightstand.But that night Ayaan dragged you home, in a broken state, drunk beyond awarness.Ayaan told me you had a fight with someone just because you had found him talking disrespectfully about a girl whose name was Zoya. And at that point I knew, if I told you the truth you would hate me and leave me, coz you wouldn't tolerate anyone doing anything to your Zoya.

Asad-Ammi...you are more important to me if not as imporatant as Zoya...You both mean a lot to me...and I cant live without eiter of you...You are the one that gave me life took care of me and made me a man...and ...Zoya she showed me love, made me a better man...she is the one that sustains my life... he interupted Dilshad wanting to clear her doubts..

Dilshad-Asad I know how much you care for me and value me...I never in my life doubt my presence in your life, but at that point in time, I was constanly plagued by the demons of my wrong doings..so I was never able to think clearly.I had to give in to my irrational fear, cos not abiding by them meant that I would lose you as a son forever. I still have that letter with me...in the hopes of giving it to you one day, to clear everything, to confess my sins...she bent sidewards towards her drawer and pulled out a letter from one of her prayer books.Here take it...read it. She offered

Asad hesitantly took the letter from her hands..and stared at it.after a long pause of retrospect, Asad met his mothers worried eyes and tore the letter into pieces.

Asad-Ammi I no longer need you to be worried about the past. It is a moment in time that is no longer of value in our lives.Your favors on me through my life are beyond compare to this 1 mistake. Yes this mistake hurt me a lot, but it will never be the reason for me walking away from you.Infact it should be me that should be looking down upon himself, for crossing his lines and speaking those harsh words to his own mother who beared so much to raise me. Ammi...aap please apne aap ko is guilt se nikaal dijiye. Promise me that you will no longer look back on this part of our past.Promise me that you will smile and enjoy every bit of life with your family.Promise that you'll always be there for me when I need you..Promise me..

Dilshad was touched by her sons words, his maturity and the strength of his heart to have forgiven her for her sins..she leaned in and kiseed his forhead, her tears making way for her smile.

Dilshad-I promise Asad of all that you asked of me, but in return you'll have to promise me 1 thing..

Asad-Jo aap kahe ammi...he said sincerely..

Dilshad-Please end this fight with Zoya, she only meant to stand up for me, and just like you she lost her cool and said what she truly didn't mean.She had been really sad the past 2 days, and I have seen it in her eyes, she misses you Asad, she feels lost without you.Please don't make her go through this pain once again, she has already gone through a lot.

Asad just looked at his mother...drinking in her words, his heart agreeing to every bit of it, but his ego stopped him from sgreeing ..so instead of accepting his mothers request he stood up.

Asad-Ammi Im getting late, I need to be at the airport in the next hour, I am gonna get going.I'll see you in 2 days.with that he walked away, Dilshad smiled, as she knew her sons decision.

~~

Zoya's smile was far from her reach, her mind constanly replaying the events of the last few hours, making it hard for her to concentrate on her dubbing.She needed a brake, she needed to cool down, so she walked up to the room close by and slouched on the chair, closing her eyes trying to erase the thoughts.But nothing helped...Zoya was restless, and scared and tired and what not..She was just losing her mind. She switched on the TV only to encounter a whole another level of media scrutiny, there were horrendous accusations thrown up towards Asad, his case being discussed, attaching two completely unrelated topics together. Zoya was completely ignorant of the way the media worked, and she just wanted to shout, she wanted to run away and hide, she just didn't know how to deal with this scenario. She switched off the tv and paced around the room...her heart crying out for Asad.

Zoya-Stop with it Zoya..Asad is not here, and that's only because of you...you are to blame for blasting at him, for saying mean things to him when he was hurting when you out of all the people should have understood the state he was in, you should have predicted his actions. But Nooo you were just busy being a smart mouth, spitting one rude comment after the other, hurting that poor soul...now deal with your issues yourself.Asad is gone for the next 2 days and it serves you right.maybe if you don't have him to protect you every step of the way you'll finally learn to control your impulses and act like a mature adult..she muttered to herself...But what can I do...I cant do without him...I need him...tell me what can I do to bring him back..here...

Asad-Well for starters you can apologise on behalf of your smart mouth...and put it to better use...spoke Asad standin by the door, leaning on the side with his arms folded, his smile oh so sly and his eyes unaplogeticaly satring at Zoya.

Zoya couldn't believe her eyes...and before she could think or register anything...she screamed...ASAD...and ran up to him...and jumped up to him for a hug...Asad quick on his feet as he grabbed her at the right time before he lost his balance...

Zoya-Asad Asad Asad...you're here you're here...I am so sorrry...sorry sorry sorry....she cried...hugging him tight...

Asad just laughed at her his anger vanishing with her apology...allowing her to let it all out..which she did...blabbing everything from the night she rushed home..to find Dilshad the way she was...how worried she had been, and then how mad she had gotten...and how she was sorry for what she said to him...and how she didn't mean anything..to just a few hours ago when she had to encounter the media for the 2^nd time in her life, and this one wasn't a civil conversation like her first media encounter...she spoke until she had nothing left to say...finally breaking the hug and sheepishly looking up to meet Asad's eyes...

Asad just had the widest grin on his face..as he leaned in to give her a quick peck on her lips.

Asad- I think you smart mouth is more suited for this..and not you constant jibber jabber...

Zoya-Asad how can you be so calm...I mean...there's so much happening...

Asad-Well I guess.. 5 years in the industry..and breaking you tv and furniture finally calms you down..he joked...Just realx Zoya..I'll fix it all when I come back...

Zoya-NOOO...you're not going newhere n leavin me here all alone to deal with it...NO No NO...I will not let you go...she grabbed his hands and looked him straight in his eyes...

Asad-Zoya you are being childish...

Zoya-Whatever..you're not goin newhere..as is I have had to live without you for the past few days...and I didt like it wee bit..so its final your're not going..

Asad- hmm...

Zoya-What Hmmm...I said you are not going anywhere...

Asad-'Hmmm and what do I get in return wife??? I mean...even I was deprived of a lot of things in the last few days...he pulled her close as he leaned in..closer to her mouth...If I stay..I guess I'll need to make up for lost time...and ...he gently brushed his fingers to her lips...and show you how to shut your smart mouth...Asad finally closing in the distance and taking possession of her lips...Zoya accepting his offer with a moan.

I have 3 more chapters to go and an epilogue...and I have already started to pen down the next chapter so hoepfully if everything goes right than u'll have another update coming your way tommorow morning (Saturday morning India time) so until then its upon u to fill up this thread with ur comments... O n ya do let me know if its worth starting a new thread for just 3 more chapters and an epilogue?? I mean it will be 3 chapters only if u guys can take me upto 125 on this thread...or else..it would be Eh..just 2 chapters on a new thread??? So do wat u can...I'll go from there...maybe I'll jus tstick to this thread...

Now for

Juliet's (Pefectionist2) concern...ortrather her desire for writers thought process..

Firstly did this update answer any of ur questions???

Well lemme explain my side atleast..n thn u can lemme knw...

So as for the outburst...n ur question...if ur love becomes more important than your mother who nurtured you thorugh it all...

Umm no ...I quoted a line that Asad said... Ammi...you are more important to me if not as imporatant as Zoya...You both mean a lot to me...and I cant live without either of you...You are the one that gave me life took care of me and made me a man...and ...Zoya she showed me love, made me a better man...she is the one that sustains my life...

And that's what I believe..they both have their places an you need both...but when 1 of the 2 hurts the other...it only breaks the one in the middle..and that's what Asad was going through..he tried to fight it for over a month..but it was bound to come out...it just came out to be a little harsh..but they were just words which he regretted sayin...Dilshad actually set in motion an action that altered their lives...so I guess...I'd give him the benefit of the doubt...he had to let it out...

And the truth is...we r usually the meanest to the one we love the most...cos we know..that bond is very strong..and it wont break.We all have been there...n crossed our lines..in different measures...but hey Asad did apologise and make it up..so I hope it clears ur questions...

Thats it from my end for now...please do like n commnet n I'll mostlikely cya tomm with a new update😃

Chap 27:
