25th December : SS :) [COMPLETED] - Page 4

Part 3

Asad sat on his bed bandaging his hand, hurt in while saving Zoya from the attacker with a dagger. Finally he was successful in diverting his mind from his merciless conscience although these thoughts still lingered around the same. At the moment he just wanted to stop thinking, stop his inner conscience to make him more remorse, block all his thoughts at the current moment but sadly today his tyranny had retired.

Dilshaad came in and sighed looking at Asad. Her son was an epitome of extreme. His deeds sometimes made her feel that she was the most blessed mother ever, but sometimes she would regret that she once had felt proud of this son. Asad's hand needed proper dressing as did the wound at his forehead.

What am I gonna do with you Asad? Thought Dilshaad. You make me wonder if you are really my son sometimes. Me I cant even scream at anyone, let alone fight at my defense, and you? Nothing less than a Lion. Hurt Lion. But why am I to blame you? Who knew that our little sunny world of happiness will ever come under the tornado of turmoil? And leave nothing left after its passing?! Who knew Asad? But this time no forgiveness Asad, I never taught you these kind of Morals, which lead to this, today!

Dilshaad could see Asad was trying his best to make eye contacts with her, but gave up each time as she ignored.

I know you are sorry Asad. But not just this time!

She finished dressing his hand that his phone rang.

One day I will throw that phone in the water tank!

"Ammi ek minute please. . . Patil, I want Akram and those hooligans to be sentenced for minimum of 7years. Make such a strong case against them. And make sure that he is blacklisted from all the companies. . . Yea Any query--- Good. . . Keep me informed."

"So you send them behind the bars?"

"Ammi, Har aadmi ko ye samjh jana chahiye ki unhe aurato ko izzat deni chahiye, ek aurat bhi izzat ki utni haqdaar hai jitne admi hote hai ,aur ye taalim unhe pehle se de deni chahiye taaki woh kabhi bhi kisi bhi aurat ko buri nazar se na dekhe aur unki respect kare. Ammi I cant tolerate these types of creatures who cant respect women. I don't know how I never notice this in Akram's personality ever even after spending so much of time with him!"

"But this doesn't prove that you are innocent!!"

Asad just returned a blank look.

I know Ammi I know. . .

" You come to conclusions without knowing the whole scenario! Who asked you to be so judgmental? You never have been such ever!!"

Asad was at loss of words.

"Asad you are expected to speak now, say something! Am asking you something! "

" Ammi . . . I - - - I don't know . . . its just that I never knew Akram would be of this type. We worked for so many years together I never noticed. .. I don't know how!"

" So you mean to say that you couldn't trust a girl who was a family to all of us but you preferred trusting a stranger's testimony, whom you just know on a professional level?"

"What Asad?! Am asking you something!! Answer!!"

A tear trickled down his check as he exhaled.

" You did something which doesn't have any forgiveness, And don't expect any from me! Either!"

Dilshaad this time had the Last Talk.

He checked Najma's room like everyday, and found her asleep on her bed with her books. Asad gently removed the books from her grip and tugged the quit to her chin. He sat down on her bed and softly brushed her hair.

Tamater. . . I don't know how, but I really am soory, sorry that all these happened. It was all my fault. You know I thought I was making things fine, I-I-didn't know that she would land up into something terrible like this. I wish I wish I could kill each of the goon with my own hands, they hurt her so much . . . Trust me Tamater I thoughtI thought I was just doing what was correct. . . I don't know why am I coming to conclusions without knowing the reality. . . I don't know what is wrong. . . Tamater, I promise, I promise that she will be just fine, cause she has to be. . .I will do anything for her forgiveness although I know I deserve none. . . O Tamater I am just sooo soo soo soory. . . I wish you would just-just forgive me for today. I am such a bad brother. . .

Asad sat there till his tears dried. And then silently, proceeded for leaving. But just then Najma called out in her sleep.

" Bhaijan . . "

"Tamaterr. . ."

Asad felt relief rush into his stressed stricken nerves, after she finally called him. He happily sat back on her bed while she sat up. Her glistering eyes met his moist soggy ones. Najma gently hugged him the moment next. Asad sleepily hugged her back.

" I know Bhaijan, I know you are sorry . . . All will be fine . . . Don't worry."

Asad faintly smiled at her and laid her back.

"Sleep. . . You have an exam tomorrow, and donot process your little brain soo much, it will be soo confused between it being a processor or a compressor or my Tamater's little brain."

Asad could see Najma's smile in the darkness.

"Bhaijan?"

"Yeah!"

"She doesn't know. . . I feel you should tell her. . ." Najma half in her dreams replied.

Before Asad could give her a reply he knew she was already fast asleep. He smiled at her, patted her head gently and left.

Dilshaad was beside Zoya keeping a vigil. Asad came in the room trying not to look at Zoya as it still broke is already broken heart.

Crrriiiassshhh

Asadd!! Zoyya's sleeping.

Dilshaad glared at Asad.

What the hell am I supposed to do if this stupid packet lies here!!

Asad threw it in the bin and tiptoed reluctantly towards Dilshaad. He sat on his knees trying to say what he wanted to but his words didn't come out.

"Asad NO!!"

"..Ammi I am sorry, I really am, you know that. . . I I just didn't know. . "

"These can be sorted later, you should rather be quiet now." Dilshaad retorted.

Asad sighed deeply and searched for something to sit on. The dresser's stool clad with Zoya's clothes seemed a perfect place for him. He didn't feel irritated, instead it made him feel good for the first time.
