Standing at the door he looked at her working.He was irritated.He just want to got to her.Jerk her closer and want to say I love you.Closing his eyes ,he mutter up the courage and go to to her.
"Zoya we should head back to home"
"Asad not now I am kind a busy right now..you go to home I will come late home tonight"
Closing his eyes in sheer frustration he says:"You are always late" He turned around and then turn back and say"I think Zoya we both...we both are just not meant to be..we are just not"
Zoya kept staring at his retreating back.His words kept ringing in her ears.We are not meant to be what does he mean.
"Dr.Zoya the patients heart beat in dropping"For a moment she shrug her thoughts away and went to her patient.
****************
Hitting the bench in frustration he sat on it.It has been two damn years that they were in relationship.First he was not ready to accept the love blooming between them and now she.From past 6 months she had engrossed herself in work.She don't have time for him.Its has been long time they slept together,they eat together.Heck! they don't even now talk to each other.The more they ..not they now only he try to less the distance between them, more distance became between them.First he thought that now may be its the time he should confess his feeling for her.But now the question is how?? When ever he try to talk to her,She told him that she is busy and move away from him.What's wrong with her?? What wrong he had done? These questions kept surrounding his brain.
Sighing he moved his hands through his hairs.And was about to get up when he felt a pair of hand hugging him from back.It was not Zoya ,he knows that.He was about to hold the hand and move the person in front when he heard:"So she again shut you off huh??Come on asad give me one chance.I have all the time in world for you.
"Not again" muttering under his breath he jerked her hands away and was about to leave.When she came in front of him and stop him keeping her hands on his chest.Sighing in disgust he again jerked her hands and say:"Maya stay away from me.And I am telling this you last time"
Maya"Come on asad till when you be her arm candy.Oh come on don't give me that disgusting look.All the people here know that she is just using to lessen her pain and when she will be over her pain she will leave you.You are just being used by her"
Moving closer to him.She moved her hands on his chest and say"Leave her.She is still mourning over that Ayan.and she is just using you.Leave her and come to me"
Asad kept looking at her."She is still mourning over Ayan" only these words kept running in his mind.Now he knows the reason behind Zoya strange behavior from past six months.Now he know what triggered her.He just run from here to Zoya cabin.But nurse informed she had left.Thanking her he quickly too left for home.
One the way he keep on cursing him.How can he not get her.It was obvious that she had been behaving weirdly since that surgery.In that surgery she lost her patient Derek.How can't he don't see and understand that she never talk about that surgery again.That surgery must have triggered her memories.She had been feeling guilty all over again.She had been considering herself for Ayan's death.How can't he understand.
*************
Entering into the home he saw lights on.That's mean she still not slept and they can talk.Putting his over coat over the day bed.He went to her room.He had just move two steps when he heard her voice:"Asad you home.Come i had prepared dinner.".
Asad nods and sit on the chair.Zoya served him the dinner.They both eat the dinner in silence.Asad want to talk but seeing the calm look on her face.He just side the topic for while.
***********
Laying on the bed.He think about Zoya .How they both had got closer in these two years.They had been living together since one year .In start Zoya was just another time past for him.He was dating her for sake of it.But from the time she move in his house he realized she is the one.The missing piece in his life is she.And now nothing on the world can separate them he will make sure about that.But firstly he had to talk to Zoya and try to remove her insecurity.He turn left and saw the door of his room opening and Zoya entering into room with pillow.
"Can I sleep with you tonight" Zoya ask.
"Well It depends... you know"He replied mischievously.
Zoya through the pillow on his face.She lay on the bed with her head on his shoulder.Completely engulfing him in her arms.Asad smile and held her stronger.
Both close their eyes to sleep.But sleep was far away from them.Asad kept caressing her back.While Zoya make unknowing pattern on his chest.Finally when the silence became unbearable between them.
Asad slightly move on he making her lay beneath him.Zoya held his shoulder.Usually she move away but tonight she was kind a asking for it.Asad move closer to her lips.His lips touching her feminine one.Zoya slightly move up taking his lips into her.Kissing him gently.Asad kissed her gently.Today was something strange in their touch.One realize his love for her while other want to show her love.
Asad left her lips and looked into her eyes and whisper "I love you"
Zoya "you what"
Asad peck her lips and say"Shh"
Laying on his side he held her hand tightly.He kissed her hair and ask:"Zoya what had happen to you??"
Zoya know about what he talking but she try to not talk about it.
"Asad tomorrow is your first solo surgery.I am very happy for you"
Asad again come on top of her and held her hand and say"No ignoring today.tell me what had happened to you.Zoya don't shut me off please."
Zoya close her eyes.She move up and peck his lips.She try to speak but nothing come out of her mouth.
Asad look at her and tightening his hods on her hands he nudge her to speak.
"Asad I am not worth of you.I am a mess.I try to leave you .But today when I heard you saying you that we..are.sigh.We are not meant to be..My heart stop for a while.I had lost Ayan,I don't want to loose you I just don't"
They both sat on bed.Asad held her shoulder and say:"Zoya tonight speak and let the pain go.Ayan had left you.Now its high time we should move on. know you might think that I am sounding rude.But I can't see you in this state any more.I can't"
Zoya kept her head on his shoulder and say:"Asad Six months ago Derek died because of my fault.I saw his wife crying.Derek know that he will not be able to survive.He told his wife to move on after him.The..The same..The same way Ayan told me.He too died because of me.I could have saved Ayan but I didn't.Its because my stupidity he died and it was because of me Derek died and I am scared.."
"That I will die too.. hmm??"Asad cut Zoya and say in between holding her cheek"listen Zoya and listen me clearly Ayan didn't died because of you.He had met with an accident.He need surgery and you were just an intern.You try to save him.You tried but it was his fate ,he died.And Derek he was going through a swear heart problem.We all and even Derek and his wife know that we will not be able to save him.But again you and chief tried right but it was his fate he didn't make it and died.In both cases none was your fault.Why you are guilty.And Derek was right when he told his wife to move on because it her right and same goes to you it is your right to move on.Ayan was right Zoya .Please Zoya let the past go"
He left her cheeks and move away.After few minutes of silence he moved to her holding her cheeks.His breath mingle with.
His lips touching her."If you are scared for me ,then be scare.I am here to remove your fear.Zoya I will be here for you even if you want even if you don't.I am gona love you.I am gone be there for you.Not going to leave and not going to cheat on you Because you are the one for me.And I love you"
Tears trickle down her eyes.Asad kiss those tears away.He kissed her fore head ,he cheeks and then he took her lips into his.Kissing her passionately he remove her night shirt while Zoya remove his shirt.Making her lay on the bed.He again stare into her eyes and whisper I love you.She moved her her fingers on his lips and whisper back I lo...The words never come out of her mouth as he took again her mouth...
*******************
Caressing asad hairs she recall her life events.She loved Ayan and he left her.Now she love asad.Her life took such a serious turn but she has now asad.Covering asad properly with quilt.She put his shirt on and went outside the room into balcony.
"I know you would come" She Smiles hearing the words.
"Ayan how are you??"She asked him sitting on the swing.
He too come and sit beside her and say:"You looking tired.I so hate that guy.He is taking my place..but you know what I am happy for you"
He pecked her lips and saw tears in her eyes.He remove those tears and say:"Hey...Hey why are you crying.You know I hate your tears"
Zoya kept her head on his shoulder and cried"Ayan I loved you.I loved you from our high school days.I freaking loved you.I planned my whole life with you a perfect life.You were my first love, my first kisser.I gave myself to you.And now I have to place asad in all my dreams.Why this happened why?? I killed you"
Ayan stand up and look at her and ask:"You love him?"
Zoya nod her head and say:"But not more than you"
Ayan come and sit in front of her.Holding her hands he say:"Zoya I am here because of you.Its the time to let me go and move on with asad.But remember one thing I loved and I love you"
Zoya move closer to him and kissed him.Ayan broke the kiss and stand again.
"Its the time to.."
"Zoya what you doing here.Come inside."Ayan was about to eave when they both heard asad's voice.
Ayan look at Zoya and say:"One work left"
Ayan went to asad stand beside him and look at Zoya :"I hate this guy Zoya he taking my pace"
Then he stood in front of asad and say :"Dude I am dead.But if you try to hurt her I promise my ghost will not leave you"
Zoya smile at his line.Asad stand their confused seeing Zoya smile
Asad move closer to her and held her by her shoulder and say:"Why you smiling"
Zoya shrug her shoulder and Pecking his lips hug him.
Ayan smile at her and waved her good bye...
