CHAPTER 2

It was about midnight when Zoya suddenly woke up from sleep. Cold wind was breezing through the tent. She slowly untied the tent door and stepped out. It was all silent except the sound of the forest. Suddenly she noticed a light far away. Without a further thought, she decided to check on it. As she advanced towards the light, it became brighter. There was a lantern placed on a rock. Near to the lantern there was a thing which caught her attention. It appeared like some kind of Jigsaw puzzle made of metal. She tried to arrange it.

"Oh No! One piece is missing. It has to be somewhere here"

She thought to herself and started searching for the missing piece.

"You should not have been here at this time"

A sudden voice from behind startled her. She slowly turned. To her relief, it was none other than Asad. She sighed as she saw Asad. But his face had a grave expression that she couldn't fathom.

Zoya: "You scared me! What are you up to? Scaring me to death?"

Asad still had the serious expression which made Zoya feel uncomfortable.

Asad: "You should have been sleeping now. Why are you here?"

Zoya: "I got up from the sleep and I saw a light over here. So came to check on it"

She said it as politely as she can.

Asad: "whatever may be the reason, you are not supposed to roam around here in the night. Do you get that?"

This made Zoya angry.

Zoya: "Oh yeah? Then tell me what are you doing here? You are also not supposed to be here at this time"

Asad: "Why can't you just listen to anybody without arguing with them?"

Zoya: "It's because I am the King & Queen of my life. Nobody owns me. You get that?"

Asad ignored her and walked towards the puzzle. Irritated by his behavior, she grabbed the puzzle. He looked restless.

Zoya: "I need some answers"

Asad: "What if I refuse to answer?"

She raised her eyebrows. Asad knew that he was fighting a losing battle. After all she deserved to know. He gave up.

Asad: "Alright alright... just shoot..."

Her eyes lit up. Asad felt a lightning went inside as he looked at her starry eyes.

Zoya: "OK. Tell me what are you up to? What was that map you were looking at in the evening? And now what about this puzzle? You are supposed to be a film maker who came to select the locations. But now you are acting like some treasure hunter"

Asad: "You said it correct lady..."

Zoya looked at him questioningly

Zoya: "I said what?"

Asad: "We are no film makers"

Zoya: "What a joke! You are of course film makers. I have seen your award winning film"

Asad couldn't help but to laugh at that innocent remark.

Asad: "Yes, I have done a film. But just to keep a fake identity"

He paused for a second & looked at Zoya. She was eagerly listening to him.

Asad: "Actually we are... err... umm... we are here for a treasure"

Zoya's mouth wide opened with this sudden revelation. After a moment's shock, she recovered back to her normal self. Her blood boiled with angry. She was betrayed. She was in a bubble sealed with lies. She started shouting.

"You moron... you lied to me, cheated me. You want me in this so that nobody would suspect you? How could you do this? You freaking treasure hunter!"

Asad advanced towards her as he wants her to shut. But she was not afraid. She was verbally abusing him. He pinned her hard to the nearest tree.

"Listen girl. Whatever I've done, I am sorry. But what else can you expect me to do? My family is searching for this treasure over past 500 years. And you know what? My father and great great grandparents all died in this quest"

He looked at her. She was still looking sarcastic. This made him to tighten his grip on her. Her hands started bleeding. But he was too angry to notice that.

"This treasure is not a usual treasure girl. If it falls in the wrong hands, it will be the doomsday for us. Boom!!! I won't let that happen. I lost my family to those evils. But I am gonna make them repent for that"

A tear started tingling in his eyes with the very thought of his lost family. Zoya was very much moved with this. She forgot her pain for a minute and got lost in his tears. A howl made them to come out of this trance. He shook his head & left her hand. He thought to himself;

"Oh God! What I've done... I should not be this much weak"

He looked at her. She was sitting down, holding her hand. In her hand, he could see his grip marks and blood flowing from those marks...With soo much concern, he sat near to her and took her hand in his own. He slowly moved his finger over the marks. He could trace out that she is weathering in pain. But what strike him most that her pain didn't reach her face. Her face was expressionless as if she is trying not to show how much she is hurt.

She slowly released her hand from his. Without telling anything, she slowly stood up and advanced towards her tent. He stood there, dumbstruck by her behavior.

***(@)***

The next day morning welcomed them with heavy snowing. It was unusual to snow like that at that point of time. It was like the nature is against them in continuing the quest. Rashid was looking restless. Asad was lost in his thoughts. Suddenly a chilling sensation went through his body. He looked up. There was she, looking gorgeous in a light green t-shirt and khaki pants. It was not her beauty which caught his attention. But it was her strength of mind that amused him. He couldn't help but to look at her with his mouth wide open.

As Zoya stood there facing him, she felt a sudden feeling of being betrayed. But her heart told her to forgive him as she recalled the tears she saw in his eyes.

"If I am in his position, I would have done the same". She thought to herself.

She slowly approached him and waved her hands in front of him breaking the trance. He stood up and looked at her hand. The blood was not flowing anymore. But the bruises were clearly visible. He felt ashamed of his behavior.

Asad: "err... umm... I am sorry Zoya"

Zoya: "Don't be Asad... I am sorry for the sarcasm I showed you"

Asad: "No no... you did it right. I betrayed you. I was not supposed to expect better than that. But what I have done (looking at her bruises)... I was not supposed to do that..."

Zoya smiled.

"It's ok. You were forced to do that. Let's just forget about that. By the way I have something for you"

Asad looked at her doubtfully. She just forwarded her hands towards him. In her palm, there was lying a small piece of metal. Confused by this gift, he looked at her. She started laughing and took him under the shade of a tree making themselves far away from others. She told him to hand over her the puzzle. He did it hesitantly. After arranging the puzzle, she slowly placed the piece of metal she had in the missing place. To the utter shock of Asad, the metal fit well in that puzzle and they heard a click' sound. He looked at her bewildered.

"You... from where you got this?"

"Cool boy cool... I took it from a hair clip"

He felt that she was jocking him. He pinned her to the tree.

"What rubbish! Tell me clearly, from where you get it? I am not gonna buy your silly jock"

Zoya: "You buy it or not, that's the truth. The hairclip is made up of gold and silver and it's my family heirloom. It was passed on to me by my grandma. She had told me that the hairclip has some power hidden inside. Of course, I didn't believe it. But... When I saw the puzzle, I felt I had seen the missing piece somewhere. Then when I went back to my tent and go through my bag, I found it"

He slowly released her hand and apologized for his behavior. She told nothing. She simply looked at him. Suddenly, they saw a gleaming light coming from the key. To their utter astonishment, it started rising and floating in the mid air. They both looked at each other. As they turned their attention towards the key again, they saw Rashid standing at the other end. His eyes were red and a gleam of light was coming from his eyes and fell on the key. That means he was keeping it in the mid air!!!

Zoya couldn't believe her eyes. Her heart and mind was contradicting each other. With a sudden courage, she stepped forward and tried to pull out the key

"Ouchhh..."

She screamed in pain. Asad ran towards her and supported her from falling. Her hand had burned. She felt that her hand was gone. The pain was killing her. All the she could remember was Asad's hands were wrapped around her as he looked at her panicked and she fall unconscious...

***(@)***

It was night when she woke up. She found herself lying in her sleeping bag. She slowly sat up. She saw a bandage around her burned hand. He knew that it was Asad who had done it. She desperately wanted to see him. Within 2 days, she got attached to him soo much. But she didn't want to show it. So she kept on fighting with him. She couldn't help it.

When Asad found her falling unconscious, he could do nothing but carrying her back to the tent. He had seen this side of Rashid quite often. He could do things what normal people cannot.

"Oh boy! You will have to face her again. Surely she will have a lot of questions in that small head of hers"

He muttered under his breath as he saw her awake. He was not wrong. As soon as she saw him, she raised her eyebrows. Her big baby eyes were demanding answers.

Asad: "Don't look at me like that... fine... I will tell you everything"

Zoya: "Everything? Is there a lot of things which you hide from me?"

He nodded.

"To be frank, yes. I had to hide it from you for your own safety"

"Oh please... cut this crap and come directly to the matter"

Asad: "Okay... Whatever I am telling you is true. What you saw out there was real. Rashid has powers to raise the objects with one look. He has the power to create an aura around any object which makes that object secure (He paused for a second and then continued). In short, he is a wizard"

Zoya (astonished): "A what?"

Asad: "A wizard... he is one of the supreme witches..."

Zoya: "Oh please... don't tell me that I am in a super natural world"

Asad: "Unfortunately, yes. Aren't you afraid?"

Zoya: "I know I had to be afraid. But right now, I am not feeling anything. May be it's because I believe in supernatural like my grandma... by the way, umm...are you a super natural?"

He smiled at her innocent question. She started stepping backwards and eventually touch the wall. He came soo close to her that they could feel the breath of each other. He whispered in her ear.

"I am the chosen one"

She looked at him confused.

Asad: "I am a human like you. But the difference is that I am the chosen one to find out that treasure and no matter what, I'll do it"

Zoya hesitated for a moment and asked

"Do you have any special powers? Are you like a superman?"

At this innocent question, he felt a sudden urge to hug her tightly, soo tightly that he could forget all those pain he endured from his childhood. Even though he managed to put up a smile in front of everyone, he was broken inside. Soo broken that he desperately needed someone to behold. Whenever Zoya was in front of him, his all features melt towards her. He couldn't help it.

Asad: "I don't have any special powers dear. That's why I need a protector like Rashid"

Zoya: "You said protector?"

He nodded and continued

"Yes I said. As I am the chosen one, evil forces are behind me, they don't want me to find the treasure. So they are trying to kill me"

She felt a thunderbolt had striked her. She doesn't want him to be killed. She couldn't withstand the thought of something happening to him. She wanted him to complete his quest. She knew that if he finds the treasure, nobody will be able to harm him. She decided that she'll help him at any cost. she moved her hand towards his face.

"Ouch... Asad"

Suddenly her burned hand started paining. Asad couldn't understand what's going on her. He held her tightly. She was screaming in pain. He tried to console her.

"Shh... don't cry... let me help you. Tell me what happened"

"Asad... its soo much paining... I am feeling burning sensation in my hand"

Reality struck Asad as he heard her. He looked up. There was Rashid, again with those red eyes. Asad could easily make out that Rashid is very much angry. He knew that it's Rashid's magical powers that hurting her. Asad felt to strangle Rashid to death for hurting her.

Asad (fuming in anger): "Stop it Rashid. You are hurting her (still holding her in his hand). Let her go.

Rashid: "You Fool! You told her all about our secrets? You freaking human! I protected you from all the evils to witness this day?"

Asad (trying to calm down): "Rashid, she is not threat to us. She is the one who helped us to complete the key. We owe her. Spare her Rashid. Don't do this to her"

Rashid didn't take any interest in Asad's word. All that he knew was, he should kill that girl. She was a threat to their quest. Asad was not supposed to be distracted by some silly girl. They are onto a mission on which the fate of the human kind rests upon. Being the supreme wizard, Rashid couldn't allow the dark forces to rule the earth. For that, he is ready to do whatever it takes. Even if he has to remove the throne named Zoya...

Asad could understand what Rashid is thinking. He and Rashid were connected mentally. He knew how far Rashid can go to protect their secret. Asad had witnessed that before. But not this time... he doesn't want to lose Zoya. .. He will go any length to protect her. She was the light in his life. He knew that she is the one meant for him. For a moment, he didn't think about the consequences. He was even least bothered whether she has the same feelings for him. All he wanted that moment was to protect her by showing Rashid how much he loved her, how much she meant to him... Asad slowly released Zoya from his arms. Her big baby eyes told him that she was scared. He cupped her face in his hand. He kissed her forehead, then both her eyes. He looked at her lips and then at her eyes. He bent down. She closed her eyes. His lips touched hers. He started kissing her softly. They both felt soo divine inside. Asad didn't felt this much happy in his 28 years. His overpowering emotions took control over his mind. His grip around her waist tightened. He started kissing her passionately as she clung to him like a little child.

Rashid was witnessing all this with various emotions flickering in his face. He felt to kill them both. But he just can't do that. Asad is very important for him. And Asad's heart is with Zoya. It all happened as he feared. Taking a deep breath he controlled his anger. He didn't want to jeopardize their mission anymore.

"Let them live this moment. After all Asad deserves this happiness. He is all alone in life. Zoya is his weakness, the same time strength too. I can't just separate them. If I did so, Asad will break down. I don't want that. I don't want to let the years of my hard work go in vain"

He thought to himself and walked out leaving Asad and Zoya to continue their magical moments, the best moments of their life...
