The Burnt Body
I sat back on the bed, my hands covering up my face while I tried to perfectly think - what actually happened yesterday?!
***
The start of the morning was just perfect. Who knew that it will be ended at such a note?
I was sleeping while I felt water droplets falling on my face.
I opened my eyes and oh well - seeing her the time I woke up was the best way for me to start a day with.
She turned back and I quickly acted as if I was sleeping still.
She came near me and kissed my forehead.
Chills ran down my spine.
We haven't confessed at all but surely we act as if love stuck teenagers!
Oh well, whatever it is. I just love it this way.
She caressed my hairs.
"Asad, wake up!"
I heard her speak but I didn't woke up.
"Asad??"
And here I pulled her on the bed, giving her an almost heart attack.
"ASAD! Control."
She fired back, wincing a bit.
"Aise saamne aaogi toh control kahan se karunga main zoya?"
I spoke dangerously close to her ear, my breathe hitting her nape and surely I could hear her fast heartbeats.
"Asad I'm..."
She found it difficult to spoke but I got what she wanna say.
Giving her a sweet small kiss, I let her go and went to freshen up leaving a blushy zoya behind.
I walked out of the washroom when I saw her doing her daily work.
Arhh it irritated me. She needed rest after all?!
I wen to her and picked her up in my arms.
I saw her complain but ignore it.
Making her sit on the bed I spoke out.
"Chup!"
She went silent. Ahh I like it.
"Take some rest."
I told or better to say announced and went down.
But oh again the time I came back up in our room after around 4-5 hours, I saw her standing near window.
I hugged her from back.
"Howz my princess and angel?"
I asked, my chin resting on her shoulder.
I saw her frown.
"Kaun angel?"
"Zoya.. my baby angel!"
"No! that my rockstar"
She spoke out with a pout. Aww she look cute.
"No way zoya... she is angel... MY angel!"
"Your angel? No way! He's my rock-star. Humph!"
"Rock-star... I won't mind but she is my angel!"
"Rockstar Rockstar Rockstar! He's my rockstar, Asad!"
I stepped towards her.
"Rockstar, ASAD huh?"
I asked with my usual smirk and damn! That blush. She nodded a 'no'.
"No... then?"
I made her look up towards me.
"My rockstar, baby asad!"
She spoke and ran out of our room. I passed my hands through my hairs.
I walked down only to see...
The scene in front made the earth slip below my legs.
There she laid in her own blood pool. I saw up and saw my own disgusting parents with a knife.
I clenched my fists and closed my eyes tight as anger filled my veins but right now I have other thing to look upon.
As fast as I could, I took zoya to the hospital.
It had been 3 hours since she was in OT.
Don't know why but my heart fell as if sinking, as if I would loose her.
The doctors came out as I rushed towards them.
"Doctor, zoya... how is she?"
I asked in a shaking voice.
"Mr. Khan, we are sorry to say but we can only save either zoya or your child."
The doctor spoke out as I closed my eyes shut.
This is what, I have been praying not to come up.
"Save Zoya doctor"
I did the formalities while the doctors went to the OT back and came out after almost 2 hours.
"Doctor.."
I spoke out as I approached him.
"Sorry Mr. Khan, we weren't able to save your child. Your wife if fine, just unconscious right now. She would gain conscious in a few hours"
Saying so he left while I walked in.
I took a sigh of relief knowing she is fine, at least.
I went in and sat by her side while caressing her hairs.
I pecked her forehead and vowed to not leave them this easily, that they have to pay for it.
The nurse came and handed me a list of medicines.
Giving her a last look, I went to take those medicines.
When I came back, I saw fire coming out from the place where she presently was.
Without thinking of it, I stepped in the room.
I didn't care if something will happen to me
I didn't care if I would burn to ashes.
All I care was her!
I went near the bed but again when is her Allah miyan fair to me?
There was a burnt body on the hospital bed.
I took the body out.
Her face was burnt totally.
I fell on my knees with her in my arms.
Kyun Allah?
WHY?!
