Come With Me!
I pushed him with all my might; he staggered back and looked at me with wide eyes, he looked at me with those intense gray eyes, eyes that always held love and adoration for me. Even now after so much had transpired between us in the last few months, even now when I had betrayed him, those eyes still had the same love and adoration in them.
Why? Why do you love me so much Asad?
Why did you make me fall in love with you when you knew that we couldn't be together! When you knew we were not meant to be!
I turned my head away from him. I would break down if I look at him. My gaze fell on his gun lying on the ground. I picked it up and pointed it at him.
He was not shocked, he was not surprised neither was his angry. His eyes were filled with the same ardour that I had witnessed in the past three months, the love and passion that he showered me in.
"Shoot the bas***d Zoya." She screamed. I looked at the girl, she was lying in a corner, blood oozing out of her right thigh, her eyes red and puffy but filled with anger and hatred and resentment. Her hair was messy and she was sweating profusely.
I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand to clear my vision which had become blurry due to tears.
Tears! He had never let me cry. He couldn't bear to see tears in my eyes.
It was so ironic that the guy who would never let me cry was now the reason behind my tears, my agony, my grief and the pain in my heart.
If only I'd never met you! Life would've been simpler.
"Shoot the motherf****r. he is a monster Zoya, he doesn't deserve to live. He lied to you. Don't forget what he did to your mother. He killed her! He f*****g killed her!" she tried to instigate me.
I wanted to scream at her to shut up but I couldn't. My voice was stuck in my throat.
I tried to swallow but it was very difficult due to the huge lump in my throat. I wanted to cry but he wouldn't like it. He took a step towards me, not afraid of the gun, not afraid of anything.
"Don't!" I managed to squeak. He stopped midway and I could see the hurt in his eyes at my rejection.
"Don't you dare go weak Zoya. You can't back off. We had made this decision together." She looked at me, her eyes dared me to go against the deal.
"He doesn't deserve your love. Just kill him and get it over with." She shrieked.
It took me a lot of effort to leave his house, a lot of effort to push him away from me, a lot of effort to lie to him and it will take a whole different amount of effort to kill him. Kill the man I loved! Kill the man who taught me the meaning of love.
He smiled at me and said in a calm voice,
"Do it!"
I stared at him with shock etched on my face. What did he just say?
"Kill me Zoya." He said as if he read my mind. My name on his lips always sounded perfect.
"I'll be happy that my death was written in the hands of my love." He whispered lovingly. A lone tear slowly rolled down my cheeks and landed on the ground. He loved me more than anybody could love anyone.
I willed myself to shoot him but I just couldn't do it. I was in a dilemma, if I went against the deal then they would first kill him then me and if I don't then I will have to kill Asad.
"Pull the damn trigger!" his voice echoed in the silent old worn out factory.
"Kill the monster. Trust me you won't regret it." She screamed again, her voice full of vehemence.
I closed my eyes and went down the memory lane. I remembered about our times together, cherishing those memories, embedding them in my mind forever because once I shoot him, once he is no more these memories will be all I'll have of him.
I reminisced our past, those nights that we spent in each other's arms. No one can ever touch me like that. I will not allow it. I am his! Only his! I belonged to him and even after his death I'll belong to him.
Why? Why did I have to fall for my enemy? Why did I have to fall in love with him?
"I love you Zoya." He whispered and looked straight in my eyes. A sob escaped my lips as I squeezed the trigger and fired.
A loud 'bang' echoed in the room and then the room was wrapped in a blanket of eerie silence.
I opened my eyes to look at him. He kept staring at me and then smiled.
I turned my head to look at her, there she was lying amidst a pool of her own blood, a huge bullet mark on her chest and her eyes wide open but I knew she was dead.
The gun fell from my hands and landed on the floor with a clatter.
"Leave!" I ordered him but he didn't budge an inch.
"I said leave Asad. Go. Run." I yelled.
"I'm not going anywhere. Not without you." His voice cracked and for the first time I saw tears in those beautiful eyes.
"Go away Asad before they kill you." I begged.
"Then so be it!" he was just as stubborn as ever. He never took orders from anyone and he was sure as hell not going to take orders now.
"Why don't you understand Zoya? I'm not afraid of dying. I'm more afraid of a life without you in it." He confessed.
"You are monster. You are a criminal." I tried offending him to send him away. Away from me, away from everything.
"Well you just killed someone so that makes us even!" he smirked.
I looked at her lifeless body again. She was dead. She was gone. I killed her!
"HUMAIRAAA!!!" I cried and collapsed on the ground.
He sauntered towards me and knelt in front of me. He picked up the gun, wiped it with his handkerchief and kept it in the pocket of his blazer. He gently caressed my cheeks, simultaneously wiping the tears and said,
"Come with me Zoya. We'll begin anew; we'll make a life together. Away from these devils. We'll go somewhere far, far away. They won't find us. We'll get married and we'll have lots of babies. Forget it all happened. I forgive you. Just come with me."
He draped an arm around my shoulder. I buried my head in the crook of his neck and cried my heart out. I felt him kiss my hair but I was not sure.
He suddenly stood up and offered me his hand.
"Will you come with me?"
I simply nodded and placed my hands in his. He helped me stand up, my legs were shaky and I could only stand due to Asad's protective and tight hold on my waist.
We walked out of the dreaded place leaving behind the dead body of my sister. He helped me sit in his car and we drove off to a place where we could live in peace and most importantly TOGETHER!
~The End😊
A/N – I seriously don't know what this is! I just got this idea! I had a mild headache, 2 cups of coffee and I swear I heard my diary shout 'write, write, write' and this happened. 🤣
I don't know why Zoya wanted to kill Asad. I don't know what happened between them and I don't know why Humaira wanted Asad dead!
I'm sorry if this was bad or confusing cause I myself am confused! Don't ask me to continue it cuz I cant make a head or tail of it. 😆😆
Comments please! Jootas chappals welcomed for this particular piece! Not proof-read it! 😃
Love,
Sadie!😃
