Part 4
''Aap abhi tak soyi nahin ?'' he asked with concern in his voice. He hadn't expected her to wait for him till this hour of the night especially when she was supposed to take rest. He immediately made a stern face as he realised that he had sounded concerned for her.
He wasn't supposed to fall for her, infact not for anyone. He did not deserve love in his life. Thats what she had said after betraying him.
Zoya had sensed the concern in his voice and the immediate change of expression on his face. She had experienced changes in him since her pregnancy. He had began acting less colder towards her unknowingly, but the distance between them only seemed to grow.
''Ji woh ammi aur tamatar bahar gaye hain toh...isliye...'' she let the words trail off. He understood that she had been awake for him, so he let go and didn't ask anything further.
''Mai khana laga doon ?''
''Hmmm...'' saying so he left for his room to change.
It had always been like this. She never ate without him how much ever famished she was or how much ever late it would be. The difference was just that he never noticed, or atleast she thought so.
He came out in a white kurta and sat at his usual place with Zoya beside him. She served him the food quietly and waited for him to taste it. She always loved it when he relished the food she cooked for him. By now she knew all his likes and dislikes.
He ate a few bites and Zoya could see that he had liked the food. So she began eating too. She was happy that they both were eating together after a long time, only the two of them.
She had learnt to find happiness in the small things of life, after she was denied the biggest happiness in life, that is the love of her husband !
After a few days of the marriage itself, he had made it very clear that he could never love her or give her the happiness she expected from a husband.
As they finished the dinner, she cleaned up all the dishes and went into the room. He had slept at one end of the bed and she moved to sleep on the other side with their backs facing each other.
She tried closing her eyes and sleeping but his first words to her came running into her mind once again...
''Mai aapse pyaar nahi karta aur naa hi kabhi kar paunga... Aapke liye yehi acha hoga ki aap mujhse aur iss rishte se kisi cheez ki bhi umeed naa rakhein !'' Asad had said to Zoya with a cold demeanour that hit her so hard.
At first she couldn't understand why he had been ignoring her since their marriage. Only after his this confession which took place after one week of their marriage, she understood why he never confronted her !
Tears escaped her eyes as she thought about it. Despite being so close to him, she could not cover the distance between them. The more she tried going close to him, the more she found him moving away.
She did not want to disturb him with her sound of crying knowing that he was tired. So she decided to push away the thoughts and drifted into sleep.
On the other side of the bed, sleep was far from Asad. He hadn't had a peaceful sleep since God knows when. He was never at peace, neither his mind nor his heart. First it was only the viod of his father and then his lady love's betrayal. But since Zoya became a part of his life and a part of him began to grow inside her, it was always her thoughts that made him feel guilty and restless.
She had slowly and quietly become a part of his daily routine. She had something in her that was attractive. But NO ! He wasn't supposed to go close to her again. He would shatter her into pieces.
He was scared that he might end up hurting her again. Thats what he has been doing all the while.
