Chapter 10 and 11 Together..

Chapter 10

Asad is reclining on the couch, one arm on his eyes and the other resting on a cushion. His room, unlit, gloomy and in the shadows.

Dilshad knocks on the door and then silently opens it. Seeing all the lights off she asks,

"Asad, why are you sitting in the darkness?"

"I am trying to find my way ammi"

"we cant find our way in the darkness."

"I couldn't even find it in the light."

"what happened meri jaan?"

Asad sighs and sits straight. Dilshad switches the lights on and sits beside him on the couch.

He starts telling her. He tells her everything that was burdening him, stabbing him. The tree of sorrow which was growing and growing inside him. The story seemed endless.

He is now sitting on the floor. His head in Dilshad's lap, who is slowly caressing his hair. Boths' faces are drenched in tears, and the future in fears.

"Zoya wanted to tell me everything that day, I didn't listen to her, I didn't believe her. Instead I insulted her, she was hurt, deeply hurt, she was crying and then……then…she didn't come back……

Its because of me she is in that condition. I could have stopped her. She wasn't happy with me ammi, mein us ka gunehgar hun. She will never forgive me. I am solely responsible for the condition she is in now. This guilt, this guilt is killing me, its eating me up inside. I feel like I am drowning.

I don't have the courage to face her again."

He closed his eyes in pain. Dilshad keeps silent herself trying to absorb the cruel reality. After a long pause she speaks,

He drags himself towards her bed, like a man who had lost everything. Slumps down on the chair beside her bed.

Her peaceful face is emotionless, her breathing leveled, her existence motionless. Her mind away from this world, probably in some unknown universe.

" you were right Zoya, I am alone in the aftermath. There is no one to support me. Not even you."

tanhaayi, sangdil tanhaayi, sang laayi yaad teri sang laayi
baar baar woh bahaar phirse yaad aayi
sooni sooni raah dil ki jisane thi sajaayi
tanha dil (roya re... dil roya re - 4)

He entwines her fingers with his. Tear drops dripping from is eyes.

Her smiles start flashing in his eyes, his ears start drumming with her poetry. He smiles sadly and kisses the back of her hand.

har taraf bikhare hai teri yaad kehi nishaan
meri har ek cheez mein hai teri hi parchhaayiyaan
tu hi hota hai, tu hi rehta hai mujhme har dum sada
paas bhi tu hai, door bhi tu hai yeh kaisi khala
yaad banke ashq teri aankhon mein samaayi

"Please Zoya wake up……I promise I would never ever hurt you again."

yaad banke ik hansi honton pe bhi aayi
tanha dil (roya re... dil roya re - 4)

"I am incomplete without you….please come back…please talk to me…..please open your eyes."

chaand suraj bhi wahin hai, hai wahin aasmaan
zindagi bhi chal rahi hai, chal raha hai jahaan
main hi thehra hoon khud mein simta hoon, dil hai ghum se bhara
bin tere kaise jiyu main, kuchh toh de mashwara

" I'll kill myself before letting any evil in this world hurt you…please forgive me….please forgive me…please wake up..Zoya please."

zindagaani aisi rehgujar pe mujhko laayi
saaye se bhi abb tere ho gayi judaayi
tanha dil (roya re... dil roya re - 4)

Chapter 11

Asad snaps out of his memories. Its almost 3 in the morning. He sees Zoya sleeping peacefully. His eyes were sore and red. He then straightens himself for some sleep.

Zoya wakes up early the next morning, she straightens herself up to find Asad reclinging on the couch. His calm serene visage complementing an angelic vision. Zoya couldn't help but stare, a beautiful smile spreads on her face. Her heart starts fluttering like a butterfly. She gazed and gazed. She couldn't get enough of him.

Her smile fades as his words, 2 years back, start bouncing in her mind.

'is he still the same? Can two years change him? Is he still mad at me because of tanu? Did my condition have no effect on him? Wasn't he hurt? Is he still unaware?

He would have said something if he wasn't still mad at me, but he didn't. he still thinks I am wrong and tanu….is she still here? What else did she do? I just hope no more damage has been done.

But whatever, I cant keep up this silent treatment for long, I cant stay mad at you Asad, you mean a lot to me. Still you have to be the one to start, after all what you did wasn't right.'

Zoya didn't realize when Asad woke up. She is startled when he comes and sits right next to her. She breaks the chain of her thoughts. She stares into his eyes, there was an unknown warmth in them, something she had seen before, she tries to remember when, it strikes her, yes it was in mangalpur, when she gained consciousness and found herself in his embrace, he had the same look in his eyes.

She looks away, her cheeks burning red. He slides her hands in his. She stares at their hands. Her mind boggling with questions. What was he going to do?

Asad gazed at Zoya's face, his eyes welling up with tears. His heart drenched in pain.

"I am sorry Zoya."

Zoya looks up at him abruptly, utterly in shock. She saw the water in his eyes and soon found something warming her cheeks too.

"I am sorry Zoya I didn't believe you."

She ran out of words. Was it only today she wished to hear these words from him? Sometimes words erase words. These words erased all those bitter words said by him two years back.

"I am sorry…you are in this condition because of me….."

He said miserably, she felt a steel knife in her windpipe. Her eyes couldn't stand his despondent existence in front of them. How could he blame himself for her condition? She knew he would be the last person in this world to hurt her like this. It wasn't him, it was fate.

"I am sorry that….."

She immediately places her hand on his lips and shakes her head, tears making there way down. Even his shirt was wet with tears. There was silence after that.

Sometimes silence is revealed not on your existence but on your heart. Then no words can be more complete, beautiful or meaningful than that. It's a silent conversation and this conversation is the gain of one's life. after which you don't need any justification any explanation. You don't need to say anything.

Your eyes convey the unsaid words, they heal the irrecoverable wounds, sweep away the abortive sorrows.

We have always known the power of words but never do we realize the strength of silence. Indeed silence is golden.

Asad cups Zoya's face in his hands and clears away the tears with his thumb. Both are full of emotions, engulfed in captivating sentiments.

Zoya wraps her arms around his neck and rests her head on his shoulder, crying like a baby. Asad holds her tightly, his arms around her back. Finally the burden he had been carrying for two years was gone. He felt as light as a feather, safe and satisfied.

"Don't faint this time." He says lovingly caressing her hair.

Zoya smiles and pulls back.

"I won't"

He rubs away the fresh tears and says,

"take some rest…your physiotherapist will be here in a while."

She instinctively holds his hand and begs,

"please don't leave."

"I won't"

"promise?"

"promise…..i wont leave not until you tell me to."

'I would never do that.' Zoya thought to herself.

The nurse enters with a medicine tray smiling delightfully.

"Good news Miss Farooqi…you will be discharged today."

Zoya's face brightens up so does Asad's. she looks up and says,

"thankyou Allah."

"I'll be back in a while." Asad says and leaves.

The nurse smiles at Zoya,

"this man really loves you a lot."

Zoya smiles in surprise.

"really you think so?"

"of course even a blind could tell that, you know I've been keeping a record of the people who visited you and tell you what he tops the list…is he your husband, fianc, or something?"

"no."

"Then I am sure he is gone be one soon."

Zoya shakes her head.

"You now that's impossible."

"Why?...you don't love him?"

"I do but we are a total mismatch."

"Tsk! Sometimes a total mismatch mirages are much more successful than perfect matches… tell you what me and my husband are one living example of this statement…anyways I forsee you two together." She says smiling broadly.

Zoya got lost in thoughts when the knock on the door brought her back to her sences. She sees Asad in the doorway and her eyes almost pop out of her sockets.

'I hope he didn't hear anything.'

He comes in casually,

"I forgot my cell phone."

Picks up his cell phone from the couch and turns around to leave. He stops midway and looks back at Zoya, trying hard to control his smile.

He smiles broadly as soon as he is out of the room.

'of course Zoya dear, I heard everything.'

Zoya snaps out of her thoughts as she hears the nurse addressing her again.

"Waise ma'am…kafi dinon se who nai aye."

Zoya looks at her confused.

"Who kaun?"

"I don't remember his name but he was probably some relative of yours. He was an old man…yes he was the one who brought you here after your accident."

Zoya looks at her in bewilderment.

"He uses to come here to see you once in a fortnight but the weird thing was he never came inside always stood looking at you from the outside. Except for once." She pauses; Zoya waits impatiently for her to start again.

"I saw him going inside your room, I got curious so I peeped in. he was crying that day. He cried a lot, right here sitting on the end of your bed. His hands were begging you.. I couldn't hear anything.

But after that his visits became much more frequent but never in the presence of your family.

He never came here after your recovery that is for the last week…. Who was he ma'am?"

Zoya looked at the nurse totally baffled, frowning not knowing she was frowning. Her words hammered inside her brain. What was she talking about?

"I don't know."

The nurse gave her a confused look.

"You don't?"

Zoya shakes her head.

"I can check it for you from the visitor's book, if you want me to."

Zoya nods her head. "please."

Zoya desperately waited for the nurse to come back. Her mind brimming with questions.

'who could it be? What did he want from me?'

The nurse came back after a while.

"it was some A Ghaffur Siddique, ma'am."

Zoya felt as if someone had punched her in her stomach. Her mouth fell open, breathing seemed impossible.
