Part 11
He stood there speechless. This was the first time ever she had raised her voice at him, that too demanding answers from him.
Guess, there's always a first time to everything and a limit to a person's tolerance. Sabar ki bhi ek hadh hoti hai and every ounce of her patience had broken today.
Now, she wanted answers to her questions, why was he so scared to come close to her. Maybe the hormones too were pushing her a little ahead.
She shook his arms with both her hands and continued, ''Kyu kar rahe hain aap aisa...? Aaj maine aapki bhi aankhon mein wohi ehsaas, wohi kashish dekhi jo meri aankhon mein hai...jisse aap har roz dekh kar bhi andekha kar dete hain... Kyun aapki aankhein aapki zubaan ka saath nahi deti ???''
Asad raised his eyes to meet hers at this. She had read it in his eyes, he thought. He found himself getting trapped in his own actions. So, in reflex to her question, he blurted, ''Mai aapse mohabbat nahi karta... Aap ye khayal apne dimaag se nikaal dijiye...'' not realising that he had given away so easily.
It looked like she had got her answer. She loosened her grip on his arms and took a long breath smiling to herself, she said, ''Maine kab kaha ki aap mujse mohabbat karte hai ???? I never said that I saw love for me in your eyes.. Aapne khud iss baat ko qubool kiya hai...''
''Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai !!! Maine kuch nahi qubool kiya...'' he retreated from her feeling like he had lost all his senses. This girl will make me mad some day.
She knew she was rubbing the wrong side of his, so she calmed herself down which was not in her any more and suggested in a pleading voice, ''Kya aap mujhe ek mauqa bhi nahi de sakte...?? Ek koshish toh kar sakte hain hum...'' with her voice breaking.
Her knees felt like they were weakening. She didn't want to faint at such a crucial moment but her legs and head seemed to be giving up.
He slightly pushed her hands away freeing himself and said in a low voice, ''Hum aisa kuch nahi kar sakte... Mere kareeb aakar aapko dard ke alawa kuch nahi milega...kuch nahi...'' he completed in a trance, taking small steps away from her.
She slowly stretched her hand in his direction trying to reach him but her body gave up and she was just about to fall right on the floor when his strong arms caught hold of her.
He saw that she was closing her eyes and was about to fall. Without wasting a second, he reached to her before she could hit the floor.
He couldn't believe she fainted. Just one second ago she was yelling at him, demanding answers to her set of questions and now she laid there like a lifeless body in his arms.
He shook her body trying to wake her unconscious form.
''Zoya...Zoyaaa...Zoyaaahhh...Zoyaa utho...aankhein kholo...'' tears welling up in his eyes.
But she laid there silently, her head falling back. He carried her to the bed and tucked her under the spread carefully and rushed to his ammi not knowing what to do.
oOo
Dilshad sat beside Zoya on the bed as the doctor did a minor check up.
She said looking at both Asad and Dilshad, ''Darne ki koi baat nahi hai... Iska BP low ho gaya tha aur isliye ye behosh ho gayi... Maine aapse kaha tha na inhe kisi bhi tarah ka stress nahi lena hai aur khana time pe khana hai...!!'' to which Dilshad replied,
''Ji doctor... Hum aage se iss baat ka khaas khayal rakhenge...'' feeling there was something wrong between the husband-wife, coz all the while Asad stood behind them without saying a word.
Just as the doctor left, Zoya opened her eyes slowly. Asad immediately got alert at her slightest movement and informed his ammi. Dilshad turned towards her and asked, ''Beta, aap theek toh haina..?? Ye sab kaise hua ??''
Zoya looked towards Asad who was lost in his mistakes and now looked blankly at her; and said, ''Ammi, mai theek hu...bas thoda sa chakkar aa gaya tha...''
Dilshad understood there was something going on between the miya-biwi, so she left them alone saying, ''Mai aapke liye kuch khaane ko laati hu...Tab tak aap aaraam kijiye...''
Now it was just the two of them in the room and the silence lingering in the air making the atmosphere tensed. Asad moved his gaze towards her face and noticed the blue mark on her neck that was more than enough to bury him alive with guilt ! Only he knew, how he bared the sight of her bruise until his ammi entered the room with food.
Dilshad sat beside Zoya and fed her while Asad left immediately for the washroom.
oOo
He stood below the shower with his head tilted up letting the warm water run from his head to toe washing out all the memories of their moment of togetherness, least did he know that the marks were left not only on their bodies but the soul too.
Asad came out of the shower and rushed to his without having breakfast or giving her a second look. He knew that once he looked at her, he would only see the pain that he had given her and nothing else.
It was 7 pm when Zoya woke up and decided to make somehting for Asad. She knew he wouldn't have eaten anything and the fact that she was the reason pained her.
The whole day she had been restlessly turning around the bed because of the morning's events but she decided to push the thoughts aside and make it up to him.
On the other side, Asad couldn't stop thinking about her all day. He thoughts didn't leave his mind for a second even. Finally he decided upon something and picked up his phone to make a call.
''Baby...papa bhooke honge na...toh mamma unke liye kuch bana rahi hai... Aapko bhi taste karwayengi mamma...'' she said to the baby while placing a vessel on the stove.
Just when the food was ready and she was about to taste it, Dilshad entered the kitchen and said, ''Zoya...tum yahan kya kar rahi ho ?? Tumhe aaraam karna chahiye...''
''Ji ammi..mai bas unke liye kuch bana rahi thi...wo aate hi honge na...'' said Zoya shying a bit. Dilshad's face immediately fell after hearing this. She slowly placed a hand over her sweet DIL's shoulder not knowing who to blame for breaking her innocent heart; herself or the destiny.
After a small pause, she looked into her eyes and softly said, ''Beta...Asad ek hafte ke liye Bhopal se bahar gaya hai...office ke kisi zaroori kaam se... Usne abhi phone karke bataya mujhe...''She left the spoon full of food right there and moved towards her room silently, like something inside inside her had been ripped apart.
