Thappars, tamatars.. Everything is welcome.
I know I've taken a damn good time since I last update this.
So extremely sorry for that, but I hope that you all will still support me like you did before. Thanks.
This one is Raabta, which was requested by "s120". So here goes. Enjoy. :)
The wind had a different kind of calmness when he was there.
The sun brightened up even more when she saw him.
The chirping of the birds had a unique melody when-
"Ugh! Maine kabse yeh bakwaas type senti cheezein likhna shuru kiya hai?!" exclaimed a frustrated Zoya Farooqui as she crushed up her 16th piece of paper and threw it behind her. She liked the sound it made when it hit the ground, but even though she waited for it to come, it didn't. "Uff! Mujhe kya.. Maybe for the first time it actually went IN the bin instead of the ground.. Probably that's why I didn't hear it. Ye lo! Main ITNI bored hoon kya jo main ek CRUSHED PIECE OF PAPER ke baare mein baat kar rahi hoon??!" she said aloud.
Zoya was staying at Asad Ahmed Khan's house for quite some time now, and even though she wasn't one of those "senti" types, she couldn't help it, but she just wanted to write down her feelings at the moment. Maybe then she would actually understand why there were butterflies in her stomach everytime she saw...*ahem ahem* certain individuals.
"Scrap the writing Zoya beta, tujhse he sab nahi hone vaala." she said to herself. "Aur hoga bhi kaise, main kabhi chup behet thodi na sakti hoon.. Aur voh bhi itni deir tak! Naa baba naa!" she said out loud to herself. "Actually, mein likhoon bhi toh kya likhoon? What's ACTUALLY happening to me? Jab bhi Mr.Khan mere saamne aate hain to aisa lagta hai jaise kisi ne meri "trouble Mr. Khan till he replies" button on kar Diya ho. Aisa kyun? Phir jab voh mujhse actually baat karte hai toh mujhe andar hi andar ek sukoon sa kyun mehsoos hota hai? Isn't he just like everyone else to me? Phupi, Najma aur Ayaan ki tarah hi toh Mr. Khan hai na?" she wondered aloud to herself and her room.
"Nahin Zoya," she continued, " woh nahin hai un sab ki tarah. He's different. Why then Zoya, does your heartbeat increase when he walks closer to you? Why then, does the always talkative Zoya actually becomes rendered speechless when the distance between us decreases? Meri bolti kyun band ho jaati hai?"
"Kuch toh hai unke baare mein.." she started smiling,
"Kuch toh hai un aakho mein jo jab bhi main dekhti hoon,bas, dekhti hi reh jaati hoon. The way he behaves with me and no one else. The way I always annoy him, but he never gets tired of it. The way he cares for me when I'm even in the slightest of trouble.
The way he looks at me when we have our coffee meetings. The way he just knows that I'm in trouble and he comes to help me. The way he knows that our day isn't complete unless we have at least one dramatic conversation , from my side that is. And lastly, the way he knows that there is something. Something unspoken. But still, it's there.
I don't know what, but there is something between us. It's a nice, sweet and warm feeling which arises when we talk-" she stopped suddenly.
There it was again. That warm feeling. The sense that he was near her.
She smiled.
"Kya mujhe Mr. Khan se..-, nai nai.. Ho hi nai sakta hai! Allah Miyan! What's wrong with me? It's obvious!
Kuch toh hai mera unse-"
"Raabta"
She stood frozen to the spot.
She couldn't move a muscle.
It was HIS voice.
Oh Shit! Now she realized why the paper hadn't made a sound.. Damn..! That meant that he heard EVERY word she had said.
Damn.. This was embarrassing.
"Haan Zoya.. Kuch toh hai tumhara mujhse raabta. Kyunki Sirf tum hi ho jisne ammi aur Najma ke alava mujhe khush dekhna chaha hai. Tum hi ho Jo hamesha koshish karti ho ki logon ko hamesha khushiyaan hi mile. Aur.. Ek tum hi ho.. Jisne meri zindgai mein muskuraana sikhaya hai. Pata nahi kya hai Zoya, lekin kuch toh hai; mera, tumse aur tumhara mujhse.. Raabta."
I know. I know ki bohot zyaada bura tha.. Lekin I'm so sorry..! I tried my best..! Soo sorry agar maine tumhare umeedon pe paani pher Diya..
I know that I didn't use the lyrics of the song anywhere but that's cuz I felt that this storyline would be the best way to portray their "unconfessed yet mentally confessed love."
