Will try to update a longer one next time.. 😛
Chapter 9
"Zoyaaa!", someone's voice echoed at the top of the mountain.
The figure started to rush towards Zoya, calling out her name repetitively, in a shaky voice.
There was concern in his voice. Tanveer noticed. Something which proves how dear the person lying on the ground was to him. It perhaps could be her love.. but who is he?
"Who is he?", the words kept ringing in her ears.. Is he A. ."
Before she could guess who the person was, the latter flung down on his knees next to Zoya and his hand in hers, he patted Zoya's forehead as tears ran down his cheeks.
"Asad!", Tanveer jumped in fright.
"What.. what is that stup..stupid doing here now?", Tanveer whispered to herself as beads of perspiration trickled down her forehead.
She needed to move out of his sight before she comes face to face with the storm.
But, how?
"Damn it! My plan has doomed to failure! That Zoya!.. argh.. she was left to die here.. but that stupid Asad! huh. Everything is over now!"
"I swear, I won't give up on you Miss Zoya Farooqui!",Tanveer said as an evil smile played on her lips.
Too worried about Zoya and engrossed in his attempts to make her regain consciousness, Asad didn't notice the escape of Tanveer.
Tanveer swiftly ran towards an unknown destination, not daring to look back.
Meanwhile, Asad's attempts were turning out to be of no use.
Covering his face with his hands, Asad burst into tears.
"Zoyaaa.. Zoyaa... open your eyes... please... Zoya.. "
Asad slowly bent down his head and laid on Zoya's arms, crying and cursing himself for being rude with Zoya and insulting her in front of everyone.
Coming back to himself, Asad wiped his tears and promised to himself: "No! I should be supporting Zoya instead of crying.. I should help her. Showing weakness and sadness is not the solution. I'll.. I'll have to take her..to the hospital!. Ammi!.Ya!. I'll call her up.. she must... be Oh.. so worried.."
Looking at Zoya's deep wounds and considering Zoya's critical state, it was clear that wasting more time could prove to be fatal for her. So Asad decided to carry on without informing anyone at home.
Lifting her up in a swift movement, Asad carried her down the mountain. Despite the stark darkness prevailing around, he, without much difficulty, reached his car.
Laying her down on the back seat, Asad made sure she was secured so that she doesn't fall down during the drive.
"Zoya, I promise you, no matter what, I won't leave your side. I'll keep on supporting you.. I know that all this won't be enough for my forgiveness to be accepted but I'll never give up on you.. You are the one who lightens my dull life and cheers me up.
I should be grateful to you for being such a good friend to Najma.
She has always lived a lonely life,without siblings.I've never acted like a sibling to her. I'm always engulfed in my work on my lappy and barely have a good conversation with her.
The joy one feels when having a companion is really wonderful..
but I've never tried to understand her wants.
She has always wished for a friend and she's got one in you.
It pains me when she questions Ammi about her father.
But when you are around, her pain disappears,strangely.
And Ammi! You take really good care of her.
You make sure she is always in a joyful mood.
And, I really appreciate your efforts.
Thank you for being a source of happiness in my house.
Thank you for all your unlimited supports.
I lov. ."
"Yeh main kya soch raha tha."
Asad stopped midway and shook his head in confusion.
He then quickly got into the vehicle.
While driving, Asad couldn't help but keep checking on her. The concerned and worried look on his face was enough to convince someone that he was in love with that girl.. He surely was falling for her..
