What's Family There For? ~ AsYa OS

"The stars Miss Farooqi?" Asad's voice broke the tranquil of the dark night. With his signature cup Asad came and sat beside Zoya who was staring at the shine-less stars.

"Yes the sta-ars" Zoya
"They are beautiful today. Are they not? Like diamonds." Exhaled Asad.

Reply hard to find Asad.

"Mr Khan kisi ke sach mein mar jane se kya woh taare ban jate hai?" Zoya replied after a pause break.

Sach mein mar jane se?

What the hell is this now?

And what is again bothering Miss Nurupa Roy that she's lamenting on now?

"Matbal?"

"Meaning ki kya hum sachi mein mar ke taare ban jayengey?"Zoya's innocent whisper conveyed a deep pain unexplained.

"Yea, apko kissne bataya Miss Farooqi?" Asad jovially continued, "I don't think apke video games and action movies mein yea sab concepts use kiya jata hoga!"

"Main sooch rahi hoon ki ek movie banaayun, action wali, jis mein yea sab concept ho!"

"Neek vichar hai apke!"

"Ek min, you were seriously thinking of a plot like this? I see I see.!" Asad pursed his lips into a big grin. This girl was sad the previous second.

"Zoo-Yaa, yaa you can tell me if it really bothers you that much!" Asad broke the pause he was greeted with.

""Aisi---"

"Ayaan told me once, when a girl says ki "Aisi koi baat nahi hai" that means sacchi mein Koi Baat hai!"

"Hain nay?"

"Haan pata hai, Ayaan bekaar ki baatein bakta rehta hain, aisa kuch nahi hota!"

"Miyaa!! What is wrong with you?" the piped voice continued,"Ap'"

"Thik hai, nahi poochta. Ab khush?!" Pooch raha hoon, tab nahi batati jab bola mat batao tab shuru ho jati hai!

"But still you can tell me, after all what friends are there for?"

"Yea! That's true too Mr Khan. But wait' did you just say now?"

"You can still tell me! What ARE friends there FOR." Asad cleared his throat.

Friends? Did I just hear friends? Zilli-i-Illahi just called me a friend? Zoya widened her eyes. Tears brimming up. And she didn't knew why.

What is wrong now? Asad eyed at her. He was scared of her, crying.

She ran her hands through her hair. No girl, don't CRY please.

"Okay as you wish, I guess you will tell me if you wanna tell me. So'"

"Mr Khan?"Zoya cut him in between. Bolo bhi Zoya whats bothering you.

"Yupp Zoya."

"Can I ask you something?" Directly kyun nahi bolti?

"What if I say a no?"

Zoya pouted a disappointment.

"Kidding kya sirf tum hi kar sakti ho?! Yeah sure you all can, did u ever ask not to ask me questions?"

"Did you just call me your Friend?" Straight on the face. Friends emphasized.

Asad crossed his brows. Obviously she was his friend. More than a friend in fact. What did she think all this while then? Wait! More than a friend?

"Are we NOTT?" Straight into Zoya's eyes. Why is she crying now? Friend is not enough? For now? Or ??

"Surprising."

"I thought you hated me!" Zoya whispered as the grass looked better than anything else in the world.

"I am sure you hate me more that I ever thought of you hating me. But then they say, you always hate the person you love the mo'" What am I rambling?

"I don't hate you. I cant bring myself to hate you! And i don't know why!" Zoya said to herself.

Don't let that tear fall Girl. I dare you.

"I guess I come at number 1# in your HIT LIST, if I am not wrong, you should have planned my Kaatal-e-Naama more than a 100s of time." Asad laughed at himself. Himself for cracking such Ayaan type jokes.

"You didn't? Don't tell me that!!" Ahh I can see that forming into a smile. Ayaan beta you are a savior.

"How many times? Come on I have the right to know! " Asad laughed at himself. Zoya glared at him. She could see his eyes shining. Shining like the stars tonight. Something she never witnessed.

"How many times did you want to kill me, instead?" Ahh she's intelligent.

"Let me think, more than a zillions of times. I even dreamt to point a gun at you! That was so hilarious! It felt good. SERIOUSLY!" Asad smiled naughtily as he leaned on the bench.

"DON'T Look at me like that, Miss Farooqi! I know you too dreamt, many a times." Asad rolled his eyes.

This guy is such an Extreme. Look at him. Who will tell he threatens to kill me every now and then and look at him now!

" I did NOT" Zoya proudly said.

"Poor you then, you still didn't get that ULTIMATE SATISFACTION. I see I see. "

"I played Mafia Wars. You were the Terrorist." Zoya shyly said.

"And it was satisfying. Wasn't it?"

"Zoya, you know why am I saying this? When something which has no solution like me, jokes apart, when something irritates without any reason or gives you a reason not to crack your Betuki Shayari now and then, aim it as your Terrorist and SHOOT. You will feel better."

"There's---"

"I know, there's nothing as such, but the reason is, is large enough not to show me your yellow teeth at me!"

Darn! Why cant you just comfort her? HER?!

"Its fine! I take you are missing your best friend?"

Zoya shook her head. Asad got the hint, and outstretched his long arm wrapping her into him. Tears a two a three. Asad you better work.

"Zo'ya? You know I never have had friends?"

Yes how can this guy ever had a friend. But REALLYY??

"Don't be shocked. That's true. I never had ONE"

Serious? Do I ever Joke? Glances shot.

"My world all was Ammi, Ayaan and Najma. It started there. Ended there. Always. Maybe that's why. I never knew if I ever had a childhood even!" Bad Asad, why are you telling her these? You needa make her feel better. Not make her feel morose with these.

"But then I guess there has to be a new addition in my 3 lettered Family too!"

Zoya questioned him through her red eyes. Darn don't look at me like that Girl.

"Wont you guess Who?!" Asad smirked as he wrapped his warm fingers around her cold ones.

"Whoo!" Reason Why I call her Super Intelligent.

"Zooo-Yaaa. . . Use your demaag sometimes."

"I swear I don't know!"

"How many times to I need to emphasize on your name Miss Faaa-roo-Qii??

Will she cry now? That was supposed to make her Happy isn't it?

"Now what?" Asad gave her an impatient chuckle.

"You are strange!"

"Now that's nothing new to acknowledge from you Miss Faaa-Rooo-Qii" Asad rooling her name jovially.

"Its late. We should call it a night now! Or else Ammi, I mean your Poophii will again claim you as a Bechaariee! Which you are not!"

"No I am not a Bechaariee!"

"Bechariiee!" Asad chuckled as he got up.

"No I am NOT!"

"That's what I tell people, everyone has a wrong idea about it Miss Faarooqqii!!"

"Whaat?? Why are you giving me a look like this? You did say that YOU ARE NOT A BECHARIEE isn't it? Or wait! My ears were ringing?!" Asad rolled his eyes.

"No your ears arnt. Issi baat pe Sher Arzz kiya hai!

Apki ears ka koi dosh nahi hai!

Apki ears ka koi dosh nahi hai!
Yea Kaneez Bichariee nahi hai!!"

"Ahh!! Right right!" Shayari is back, Asad beta you did a good job!

Zoya looked at him and smiled. Asd wiped her little careless tear with his thumb.

"Doesn't really good on my Zoya." Asad whispered. "Shall we leave?" Asad loud enough this time.

"Yeaahh!!"

"Zoo-Yaa!! Watchout. Cant you see and walk sometimes?" Asad caught a clumsy Zoya by her shoulders as she got misbalanced by tripping on her own toes.

"Balance is a big word for the uncoordinated"

"Now that's a true thing! You fine?"

Zoya replied with one of her smiles. Asad held Zoya by her arms as they lead into the house.

"NO Music NOW" Asad warned Zoya as she reached for her phone from the bedstand.

"Zoya can I tell you something?" Asad hunched down as he took her hands in his.

"Your Phupphii!!" Asad pause, he never had been good with words, let alone the feeling which he wanted to express. For her. For her to feel better.

"Isnt Phuppi your Ammi too Zoya?! Will Phuppii like it if she gets to know that you were crying'" Someone kill me!!

Zoya let out her arms for a hug. Asad gently hugged her back. Zoya rested her head on his shoulder and after a while he realized that she was peacefully asleep. He lovingly laid her back and brushed her hair with his finger tips.

Good night Zooya. Dream sweet. He said after tucking the blanket to her chin.

As Asad closed the door behind him, he heard a tiny voice call him out.

"Thanks Asad. For making me feel better." Asad could see her smile glittering in the dark.

"What's family there for Zoya?" Asad smiled back.
