~Chapter 2~

Part 1

Chirpy, cheerful, bubbly, happy-go-lucky, selfless and of course "Allah Miya, what's wrong with u?" These are the best words to describe Miss. Zoya Farooqi. In her life, she strongly believes in God, dreams and love. At first glance, she may give the impression as if she is the happiest person in the world and that is because of her magical smile. Smile is the most powerful weapon we own to accumulate courage and strengths to face all the problems and Zoya is very well aware of this. She makes use of her beautiful smile with adorable dimples to hide many painful experiences.

She was just 3 years old when she lost her ammi in a dreadful fire accident. The most heart wrenching fact is that she witnessed with her own eyes how the fiery fire engulfed her mother and the entire sequence converted into a nightmare which tortures her almost every day. She spent most of her childhood at an orphanage until Zeenat adopted her. Zeenat and Anwar showered Zoya with so much of love and care and Zoya began to see her mother and father in them. At a stage of her life, she wanted to learn about her past and her origin. She wanted to know about her abbu and why he left her and her mother when they needed him by their side. Although Zeenat advised Zoya to get marry, Zoya wanted to solve her parental issues before she devote herself fully to institution of marriage and that is what brought Zoya to Bhopal. Although up-to-date there is no any major improvement in her mission, she did not give up and continue to wear a beautiful smile on her face as it gives her confidence and courage. Is this the only capability of her smile? The answer is definitely a big NO. Her smile spreads sunshine into her surroundings and lights up the soul of others.

But what happened to the smile now? It faded away from her face since today morning. Her heart experienced a wide range of feelings just within the past 24 hours: Love, Nervous, Anger, Hope, Pain, Petrifaction, Confusion, Loneliness, Sadness, Disappointment, Tiredness, Insecurity, Inferiority and Jealousy. Exactly yesterday at this time Zoya went through the most beautiful and blissful moments of her life. The intoxication of "Bhang" erased all the distance between Asad and Zoya for some time. May be God blessed them with this opportunity to be honest with each other's feelings.

During her passionate dance with Asad, she found something new in his eyes.. She saw Love.. His love for her.. She was just mesmerized by the way he confessed his feelings and at that moment she admitted to him and to herself that she too loves him unconditionally. The next morning both of them were not aware of whatever happened and they again started their petty, serious fights. She was nervous when she saw extreme anger in his eyes. When she began to justify why she stopped him from reaching the court, he just left her there with some hurtful words: "I don't even want to look at your face anymore!" Of course she was angry with his act because he just left her there despite knowing the danger of the place. It was only during her journey back to home, she slowly learnt from her subconscious memory about everything happened the night before. Suddenly she felt something new in herself. Her heart genuinely smiled after a very long time. She felt as if someone threw new rays of hopes into her life: A hope that she had found her better half.

The next moment she discovered herself among a busy crowd. Nurses and medical assistants were helping the casualties and people were running here and there looking for their families and friends. It took some time for Zoya to realize that the bus she travelled met with an accident. Her head gave her severe throbbing pain but she ignored it. She didn know what to do at that moment: Whether to help the other casualties or to reach the court as soon as possible to be by her phuppi's side to support her. Then, she noticed her knight in shining armor in the crowd.. She saw him running towards her. She was just rooted to the spot and waited impatiently for him to embrace her. But then the reality just shattered Zoya. He ran past her and hugged another woman, comforted and nursed her. For a moment, Zoya felt as if her world just crashed down. She was petrified and her heart was sliced into million pieces. She was confused about their confession the night before. Was it just a dream? For the very first time, Zoya didn know answer for a simple question. Loneliness surrounded her soul. She was sad and disappointed to see her own Jahanpanah in another woman's arms. She thought those arms are only meant to hug and comfort her. She was tired as a result of both her physical and emotional injury. Never in her life had she gone through all these feelings at the same time. Slowly she turned away and began to walk. She was not sure of her destination but just walked towards some random direction. Then she heard his scream "Zoya". "Is he screaming my name?" Her mind asked responding to her hearing sense. "No, it must a dream again" Answered her heart. After what she witnessed, she lost her ability to differentiate between reality and dream. She continued to walk but suddenly she began to lose her strength, her steps became clumsy and her vision became blurry. She slowly closed her eyes and she saw darkness everywhere.

She opened her eyes only to find herself in her "home". She was in his arms. "Is this really my home? "Definitely No.. It is Meant for someone else.. Not me.. I am only his guest and he just care for his guest.. That's all.. I'm just his guest.. No.. Not his guest.. His ammi's guest and forever will be like that.. I mean nothing for him". Zoya's train of thoughts came to a halt when she heard his voice.

"Are you okay Zoya?"

She sensed something different in his voice. It was unusual because it was mixed with worry, concern and fear. She had heard this voice somewhere before this. Yes..Back in Mangalpur when he discovered her from the grave. His red blood shot eyes looked deeply into her eyes expecting an answer. "Did he cry? His eyes show so much of concern and fear but why? Is it because of me? But.. " Before she could find answer for those questions, she heard his voice again.

"Zoya, are u okay? Look at me.. Are you hurt?"

He is asking me whether I'm hurt? Yes I am hurt.. Its not my head giving me pain but my heart is aching terribly.

"Zoya.."

"Mr Khan, I'm fine.. Nothing to worry"

"Nothing to worry? U fainted and there are many bruises on your face.. How am I supposed to not to worry.. Come lets go to doctor" He was about to carry her in his arms.

"Mr Khan, I told u I'm fine.. I'm tired and I just want to go back home"

Asad didn say anything for some unknown reasons. He just helped her to get into his car and drove back home. The journey was very uncomfortable for Zoya and she mentally suffocated inside the car. With so much of courage she looked at the girl sitting beside her Jahanpanah. She is just so perfect.. Exactly like how Asad want a girl to be and to behave. That made her to feel insecure and inferior complexity slowly began to build up within herself. For the very first time in her life, she felt jealous. She never felt jealous when she see kids playing happily with their parents.. She never felt jealous of those kids. But for some strange reasons, she is jealous when she is aware of the close proximity between the girl and Asad. Who is she? There were too many questions and thoughts kept on troubling her but she had no energy to analyze them one by one. All she knew was that she is emotionally distorted and she needs some solitude to recover from this.

After reaching the Khan's mansion, Zoya just got out from the car and walked towards her room. Her steps were still clumsy but she didn bother that. She just wanted to take a shower and sleep. She thought maybe sleep could help her to ease her pain but it did only very little.
