It was a beautiful feeling to be with our family, the one place where we truly belongs. Relations are not meant to be forced upon… its meant to be happen… Zoya knew it better than anyone. Her house which was once filled with silence and pain, now had transformed into a home where all she have is happiness and laughter. She was indebted to her Allah Miyaan for sending Asad and his family to her life. They are all she has now apart from her brother. The very memory about her brother brought a sharp pain in her heart. She yearned to see her brother. She quickly wiped her tears as she saw Asad coming from office. Asad had started a small company by his own and was working hard to succeed. Being his soul mate she knew how hard he is trying to get a grip on his life and she didn't want him to worry about his brother. She will save him her own, decided a determined Zoya. Quickly composing herself, she went towards him. He was looking exhausted still his eyes managed to beam. She gave him her dimpled smile and giving a quick peck on his lips, she hugged him tight. He also hugged her back feeling relieved of all those pressures built up inside him. He broke from the embrace, took her both hands in his own, rubbed it slowly and gazed into her eyes.
"Zoya, I have a surprise for you…"
Zoya looked at him with questioning glance. He smiled and directed her towards the door. She stood there rooted to spot seeing the surprise which Asad was referring to. Her ands flew to her mouth as she stared in disbelief. There he was standing, her brother, her Eijas, in REAL… she looked at Asad and then at Eijas. In the very next moment she ran towards her brother's arms and hugged him tight as if to never let him go. He too hugged her back with equal passion.
Zoya: "You came… You are safe… they haven't done anything to you, have they?"
Eijas: "Chill baby sister chill… I am fine…Look at me. I am healthy as a horse…"
But Zoya was not in a mood to jock. She had missed him badly. She was really afraid for him. All the pent up sadness turned into anger as she started hitting him.
"You fool… idiot… can't you stay away from problems? Can't you take care of yourself…. You have nearly made me die… cant you hare your problems with me? Who am I? Some stranger? Eijas….. I am gonna kill you now…"
"Ouch Zoya… that hurts… please stop it… ouch… I am sorry… Zo…Ya Allah, this girl have gone mad… ouch…from where you studied Karate? Ouch… will you stop hitting me? Asad… stop laughing and help me…"
Asad couldn't help but to laugh at the brother-sister infront of him. There were running through the entire house like cat and mouse. He could see the true happiness in his Zoya's eyes. He felt complete seeing her smile. He smiled at his Ammi who just joined him in watching the duo amazed.
The blissful scene was broken with the loud clattering of dishes. Everyone turned and look towards the direction of the noise. There Najma was standing, clutching the nearest pillar for support, her face pale. Everyone except one was confused seeing her reaction. But her gaze was fixed only on one person and that person's face mirrored all her emotions. Tears trailed down through her cheek as she stared at him deeply. She saw him walking towards her as if in trance, but she didn't move as she felt paralyzed.
Zoya was shocked with the scenes unfolding infront of her eyes. She saw her Tamatar looking at Eijas with longing and love. She swear she had seen the same emotions in Eija's face too. It is then that realization drowned upon her. It was Eijas about whom Najma was talking on that day… It means,.. It was her brother that her Tamatar had fallen in love with…what a coincidence…
Eijas couldn't believe his eyes. There she was, the only girl whom he ever loved… The light in his life… the girl whom he loved secretly… that day when he was arrested he was going to confess his love for her. He had made all the arrangement and wanted it to make special for her. But his entire plan went in vein as he was arrested. In all those days he spent in jail, it was her face which kept him going… her big eyes… her innocent face… her smile… her hair…there was not even a single day he hadn't dreamt about her since the day they met. He had given up the hope of finding her being in prison. Atlast he found her, that too in his own house, as his sister's Tamatar… he found her staring at him intently with tears continuously flowing from her eyes. It broke him to see her tears. He walked towards her as if in trance. He found himself wiping the tears which were flowing from her eyes.
"I don't know your name… Just now I have come to know that you are Asad's sister… I don't know your likes and dislikes… I don't even know about your past… All I have known is one thing… I have fallen in love with you since the day I met you … since the day I found you putting yourself in danger to save that child's life… I couldn't stop thinking of you day and night… till now, all in my life I have lived for my little sister. I never thought that anyone else could affect me… but since you came to my life, my thoughts and dreams were occupied by you… Trust me, I really wanted to confess my feelings for you… but… I was arrested on the same day… I thought I had really lost you…I think I was wrong… destiny had other plan for us… that's why my sister came into your life… I don't know whether you feel the same way…I won't force my feelings upon you…It's just that… I can't live with this burden anymore… I love you… Kya thumhe mera pyaar Qubool hai?"
Najma couldn't believe her eyes and ears. There he was standing in front of her, the only guy she had loved. So whatever she thought about him was wrong. He never betrayed her. It hurt her to the core knowing that her own father was the one who tried to snatch away her love. Warmness and love spread through her heart as she heard him confessing his love. She realized, her first love won't be incomplete. She released all the pain she had buried deep inside her as she hugged him tightly while he reciprocated the same. Their moment was broken by the voice of Zoya.
"Allah Miyaan. What's wrong with you two? Did you forget that you have audience? Go get a room"
Najma blushed deeply whereas Eijas looked at ZOya with annoyance clearly written over his face.
Eijas: "Zoe…"
Zoya: "What? I am telling the truth… when you got your girl, you forgot about me huh? Soo bad big brother…"
Eijas: "You won't change, will you? By the way Zoya, Kya tumhe Njama Quool hai?"
Zoya looked at the duo who was looking at her nervously. She could see the beads of perspiration forming in their face as she took too much time to answer. He decided to end the torture. She slowly walked towards Najma and cupped her face with her hands.
"What should I call you now? Tamatar yaa Bhabi? Arey arey… why are you blushing soo much? No wonder Asad calls you Tamatar. I am happy that my brother is the person whom you have fallen in love with, because I am sure, he will never let you down… I told you, love will find its own way. It's just that, we need to give it some time…"
Najma nodded in agreement and hugged her tight. Eijas looked at the two girls in his life whom he love unconditionally. If one is his heart other one is his soul. He thanked the almighty for blessing happiness in their life once again. He hugged them both feeling happy and contended.
Asad and Dishad was shocked seeing the scene unfolded infront of their eyes. They couldn't believe the fact that Najma was in love…and Zoya know it!!! Nevertheless they were happy for her. At last it seems that everything is falling in place.
Asad: "Would you mind if me and Ammi join you guys?"
Asad's question broke the group hug as they looked at him. Najma stood infront of her Bhaijan nervously.
"Woh Bhaijan… I am sorry… I didn't…"
Her words were cut short by Asad as he pulled her into a bear hug. He was really happy for his sister. Dilshad felt proud of seeing her kids.
Dilshad: "Ya Allah… Aapka lakh lakh sukhar hain… You made me the most blessed mother in the whole world today. My kids have found their soul mates… Keep them happy always…"
Asad: "Ammi… don't worry… Allah will not let us down… there is light after every darkness…"
Zoya: "Asad is right Ammi… everything will be right from now onwards...I am happy about one thing… we all can live in this house together forever. We don't have to worry about marrying Najma off to some unknown house…kyonki usne tho meri bhai hai ko pasand jo ki hai…"
She winked at a blushing Najma… Everyone laughed whole heartedly as they were immensely happy with Zoya's invention… For them that moment was a dream come true. They longed for that moment forever… They had accepted all the harsh realities of life without any complaints hoping that there will be a new tomorrow… A new tomorrow which will bring only happiness and peace… Which will fill the void in their heart… Which will let them float with purity and pleasure…
Asad looked at Zoya who was laughing freely. he was glad to have her in his life. he slowly held her hand. she looked up to see Asad staring her intently. she could not help but to blush at his gaze. smiling, he slowly lead her outside of the house into the gardern without otherrs noticing them. he cupped her face with his hand. she closed her eyes on cue. he traced his fingerrs all over her face while she shivered under his touch. his finger rested in his cheek exactly where her dimples are. he bent down and dropped a wet kiss there while Zoya clutched his shirt tightly. they coukd hear ecah other heartbeats.
"I Love you Zoya..."
"I love you too Asad..."
They sat in the bench, their fingers intertwined, her head resting in his chest, his chin right above her head... the couple stared at the sky thanking the stars for unting them..It's not easy to find a person who can complete you…It's not about being perfect… It about being therefore someone who truly deserves it… Life is not about living in past. It's about living in the past and embrace the future…Let bygones be bygones… it's never too late to start afresh...Grab it and live in it…Now or Never….
