part 3 continue
asad stood straight and released tanu from his arm which she has holded for supporthere zoya to got released from hug
"riyaz"
"shock laga na..!!!!!" "socha b hoga nai aapne k mujhe yaha dekhoge ...right?"
"but aise achanak..?"
"kyu acha nai laga mera aana..hmmm"
"nai aise koi baat nai hai.."
asad was hearing their conversation with a confused face, his eyebrow were raised as if asking "who the hell is he and y did he touch her?" but he preffered to maintain silenced and listen further so that he gets his answers.
"phuphi ye riyaz hai mera dost ..main inse 3 saal pehle new york me mili thi... "
"kafi ache dost malum hote hai " asad said sarcastically his anger on face could be easily noticable
"wo wo...wo mere ..mere.."
zoya failed to frame a sentence looking at this riyaz continued
"ji main riyaz shaikh...zoya ka mangetar..." he smiled at asad making an eye contact and again dragging zoya into half side hug..
zoya awkwardness was easily witnessed by all people sitting in the hall
zoya gave a fake smile and tried to slowly take riyaz hand off her shoulders..by indulging him with a smile.
something in asad broke.his knees gave up, he was all torn and dint have a capacity to hang there even for a second. with a drop of tears in his eyes he left the hall and walked straight towards his room..
zoya who was busy with answering queries about riyaz and her to dilshad and najma.saw asad reaction with corner of her eyes.even his tear drop which was collected in his red eyes was not left unnoticed.
she wanted to go behind asad and wanted to talk to him make him understand that y did she dint told about riyaz to asad before...but she was not able to move..she tried to excuse herself but everyone were so excited about riyaz and zoya that she was not able to excuse herself .
riyaz being with zoya's appi ..dilshad allowed him to stay overnight here and may be if he like he would shift to hotel or may continue to leave with them as long as he wanted.
it was evening everyone were sitting at dinning table including zoya riyaz and tannu..but one face was missing
"asad where are you..." she sended a sms
asad phone blinked but he dint even bother to look at phone for once.it was her 48 sms which she sended him since morning scenario
few sms contained her urge to meet him..few were concerned msg...while other at dining table
after waiting for a long dilshad herself stud up and went towards asad room.
asad was not the same his eyes were full of pain and anger.he was standing bacckfacing dilshad when dilshad entered
"asad whats wrong beta ..chalo sb tumhara intezaar kr rahe hai"
"nai ammi ..mujhe bhook nai hai"
"asad..."
"ammi please mujhe sach me bhook nai hai..!"asad said before letting dilshad complete her sentence
dilshad left asad room with worries in her eyes for his son..he knew that something is wrong with asad but what is wrong she failed to identify
everyone had dinner as dilshad told them asad would have it late and requested all to finish their dinner .
not even a single bite of meal zoya could swallow.
she was all time worried about asad and todays incident
soon after dinner and small talks every one headed towards their respected room.
zoya got an opportunity.she utilized it..she directly entered asad room with giving a knock on the door.
asad was standing at the balcony leaned back to wall for support AND hand crossed across chest
he gave a glance when she entered and all morning memories stroke him again
"ms farooki ..ap yaha kya kr rai hai...ye apke mangetar ka room nai hai jo ap rat k is waqt milne aai hai.."
"asad meri baat suniye.. i can explain"
"mujhe apki koi bat nai sunni ...ap kya or explain krengi zoya ..kya kahengi ap ke bahar jo b riyaz ne kaha wo jhoot hai..huh?"
zoya tried to speak with him once more to explain asad but again she was interrupted
"As..ad""ek minute sunniye to mainm kya kehna chahti hu"
"badi batameez ladki hai aap ..apme koi izzat hai ya nai.. ap kisi gair mard k kare me hai ms farooki..ap yaha se chli jaeye.."
zoya felt insulted but keeping her egio aside she tried to speak to asad..
"asad gair mard..ap gair nai hai..ye ap jante h..or kl rat..."
"kl rat ek bhul thi ms farooki..jis guilt k sath mujhetah umar rehna hoga...ek aise bhool jisse mujhe gheen aa rahi hai..sharmindgi ho rahi hai..."
zoya felt like her heart is stabbed brutally by asad with a knife..she felt like a piece of trash ..those moment which were so precious to her, it meant nothing to him..
her face was mixture of all emotions at a time...things started to look blurred... her knees gave up as she felt land slipping beneath her feet.she kept quite and stood in front of asad while still lost...
her brains had stopped working...after few minutes she looked up at asad,she said while trying to make eye contact with him by this time her emotions were all dead.
"asad if you feel so ...i will make your life easy..promise i will make it easy"
she gulped as she spoke ..
"now you wont feel ashamed of ..."
"please zoya i dont give a damn of what u do or not do..just get out of my eyesight or else ..."
he fisted wrist grip tightened even more..and while completing above line he waved his hand over the vase which fell on the ground and broke into pieces..
zoya left the room as she was not able to take it more... she left with tears...
asad still stood at balcony with tight fist wrist and braking more items in the room
Neither of the two could sleep the whole night ...they were hurt..from in and out...
asad thought zoya betrayed him and viceversa case was with zoya
next morning arrived...
asad got ready and was about to move to the hall ..when the phone rang
"mr. khan"
"yes " asad replied on hearing some male strange voice
"m riyaz.. zoya's friend"
how could asad forget him he was the reason behind all that goof ups
"yes , boliye"
"mr khan apse zoya k bare me bat krni thi.."
"ZOYA k bare me..!"
"mr khan zoya apse pyar karti hai..."
"ap, apni mangetar k bare me aisa kaise bol sakte hai.."
"kyunki mr. khan wo meri mangetar nai hai..." he continued
"mr khan mene yeh sagai zoya k bhopal ane se pehle he tod di thi ...meri zindagi me koi or aa gai thi..jab zoya ko ye pata chala to wo samajh gai..or usne ye sagai tod di...wo chahti thi k main jakr sb ko hamare rishtey ka sach batau..maine b haan krdi..or sahi waqt ka intezar krne laga tha..pr meri kismat ne mazak krdiya ..main jisse pyar krta tha usne mujhe kisi or k liye chhod diya..ab main jake kya batata sab ko...main isi uljhan me tha jb zoya parso zoya ka phone aya...wo janna chahti thi k main kb sab ko sch bataunga..pr main uske sawaal ka jawab nai de paya"
asad was listening to each and every word of riyaz
"maine socha zoya se milkar apne galti ki mafi mangkar usse apna rishta fir se jod du..jisse mujhe kisiko jawab na dena padega..pr yaha ate he mujhe zoya ne ek alag sachai se ruburu karwaya..
zoya ab is rishtey ko nai apnana chahti thi..mere lakh minnato k bad usne mujhe maf to kiya pr nikaah k liye razi nai hui.."
riyaz continued with deep serious voice
"apko pata hai mr. khan kyu?"
asad maintained silence and waited for riyaz to speak
"kyunki mr. khan usne apne dil me shohar ki jagah kisiko de rakhi thi...or wo koi or nai mr.khan ap hai..ha mr.khan ap hai jiske sath zoya tah umar k rishtey me bandhna chahti hai.."
asad felt so much relief, happiness his face got brightened up..he wanted to rum towards zoya and fill her in his arms and say that yes even he feels the same for her..but than yesterday conversation striked him and he again got sad
"mr.khan me ja raha hun apki or zoya ki zindagi se bahot dur maine sab ko sch bata diya hai..ab ap dono khush rahe yahi uparwale se dua mangta hu .."with that he kept phone
asad wanted to see her and apologise her for his unexceptable behaviour ..he knew he had crossed his line ..but he also knew that his zoya will forgive him and he will fix it up and make up for all those pain he cause her through his harsh words.
he ran towards zoya room and found her missing
he searched the whole mansion but couldnt find her nor his appi
he went to dilshad and asked her about zoya wherabouts but the reply ammi gave was shocking
"beta zoya aur appi aj badi subah he yaha se chlegae..maine unhe bahot roka pr zoya ne kaha k use bahot zaruri kaam hai newyork me or wo tal nai skta ..isiliye phir maine b zyada zor nai diya .."
now it was his turn to regrett ..regrett on everything he said...for everyreason hurted her...
he thought they might b on the way to airport he has still time to stop her and he was about to run when dilshad asked asad not to run behind her as its of no use her flight must have already taken off..
asad felt pain in his heart the same way as she was hurt yesterday
he cursed himself for not allowing her to speak..for saying her all those thing which actually he dint mean but have hurted zoya indeed..
as the thought flowed in his mind he turned back to his room..
where he saw everypossible moment of his and zoya in the room getting rewind . his knees could no longer hold his burden and gave away..he sat on the floor beside the bed while his hand moving on the bed surface look as if he is carressing or trying to feel zoya's presence in his bed..last night moment with her reeled in front of his eyes ..making him feel disgust lonely..and with regretting feeling...
he was lost in his thought when a cold hand gentlhy carressed his forehead..it was ammi
ammi stood in front of asad holding landline chord.she tapped asad cheek with affection and said
"maine apne bete ko rona nai sikhaya h..pyar krte ho na use..to ..jakr le aao.."
asad looked into his mom eyes with confused and sadie expression
"ha sahi suna tumne ..jake use le aao...zoya ki appi ka phone aya tha..unki gadi highway pr kharab ho gai thi isliye wo nai ja paye ab b mauka hai asad jao jakar le aao zoya ko ...meri bahu ko ..."
asad got damn happy his face lit like a bulb..he smiled at her ammi and wiped off his tear..he hugged her mom and got up quickly and started to run towards door entrance
"asad wo hotel skyhigh me hai...sunnno...!!!" ammi yelled at asad from behind
he stoped for a while
"ammi main le aunga use apka beta hun itni asani se har nai manunga "
he said it in a breathe and run away too take his love back in his life..
all the way where his heart constantly repeated one name zoya..zoya zoya!!!
