Hey everyone.. I'm back with a new AsYa OS.. Hope you like it 😛
HAS YOUR HEART EVER LOVED?
"Zoya.." Asad called out to her from behind. She sat in her room in front of the mirror crying. Zoya quickly wiped her tears hoping Asad didn't see her, but her tears didn't go unnoticed as Asad saw her wipe away her tears on the mirror reflection. Her tears pierced his heart and this time it hurt him even more knowing that she was crying because of him.
*** FLASHBACK ***
"Mr Khan, I promise, I didn't do anything to Tanveer. After the lights came on, she was standing behind me covered in blood" Zoya defended herself to Asad who held on to an injured Tanveer covered in bandages.
"I'm sure you've done something to her. You couldn't stand the fact that she is so close to me and you're not!" He screamed at her; his eyes red with anger. His words hit her right in her heart. She couldn't believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. Even though his heart didn't believe Zoya could do something so disgusting, his mind was telling him otherwise.
"Asad, please think with a cool mind" Dilshaad interrupted his thoughts. "Do you think Zoya could ever do something like that?" She carried on speaking teary eyed. With a heavy heart, Asad closed his eyes and thought about his moments spent with Zoya reminiscing every memory stored in a corner within his soul. "Ammi, you have no idea what she's like! She might look innocent but she;s the devil's advocate!" He said while trying to stop the tears from falling.
Tanveer was enjoying the scene smirking in Asad's arms. "Jammy! .. Jammy .. please take her .. away from me!" She mumbled through her crocodile tears. "Ja.." she started talking again only to be stopped by a scream from Najma. "Asad bhaijaan" She came running down the stairs holding Asad's laptop in her hands. She had tears in her eyes.
"Najma kya hua?" Dilshaad inquired all worried. "Ammi.. woh.. I was looking through the Jashn-E-Bahar pictures and came across Asad bhaijaan's CCTV footage." Najma spoke with tears flowing nonstop from her eyes. Tanveer was suddenly alarmed when Asad left her and rushed towards Najma. Zoya was still standing in her spot with tears in her eyes thinking about Asad's words throughout. "How can he think like that about me?" The only question that was running through her mind on replay.
"CCTV?" Dilshaad asked confused. "Haan Ammi. Since the day you got shot, I had installed some CCTV cameras for everyone's safety and only I knew about it." He explained. "Anyway.. Tamatar.. Why are you crying? And what did you want to show me?" Asad asked Najma. While glaring at Tanveer, Najma handed over the laptop to Asad and over to Zoya.
Asad and Dilshaad cautiously watched the footage. Tanveer walked over an looked at the footage while standing by Dilshaad's shoulder. Her eyes shot wide open as she saw what she video had. It showed a footage of her trying to stab Zoya when she was fixing the fuse; but ended up stabbing herself as she had no other option when the lights came on. "Tanu.." Dilshaad turned towards her, the pain in her eyes clearly visible with the glistering tears.
"Khala, meri baat suniye please" Tanveer pleaded. With anger towering over him, Asad shut the laptop and flung it across the room. "Jammy" Before she could finish what she was saying, she felt a sharp pain on her left cheek as Asad slapped her. Zoya was shocked to see history repeating itself; only this time it wasn't her but Tanveer on the hot seat.
"How dare you Tanveer!" He roared, sending shivers through everyone's spine. They were all aware of Asad's anger and what he could do. "I considered you to be my best friend but I never thought that you would do such a shameful and disgusting thing. You played with your life just so that you can create a misunderstanding between me and Zoya" He was now least bothered about who she was. Asad turned around, shut his eyes and remembered what he had said to Zoya just a while ago.
"Jammy I love you and that's the only reason I did this. I knew that you were getting too close to Zoya and I didn't like it at all. I was so jealous and couldn't stand to see her smiling and standing beside you. That's why I did this because I knew that you would blindly believe me and blame Zoya for everything as usual." She gritted her teeth while looking at Zoya who was crying uncontrollably. "Tanveer.. Pack your bags and leave this house right now! I don't want to see your face. God knows what I might do to you in a fit of rage" Hearing his words, Tanveer chose to do what was best and leave only after looking at Zoya with an expression that reflected all the hatred and anger she had kept bottled in for so long towards Zoya.
As soon as Tanveer left, Asad turned around to see Zoya being hugged tightly by Najma and Dilshaad who were trying their best to console her after the incident. "Zo.." He was left silent in his place looking at Zoya's retreating figure running to her room and shutting the door behind her. "Tumne accha nahi kiya Asad" Dilshaad told him and walked away hurt. "Haan bhaijaan. Pata hai.. Zoya is so hurt. Unse baat karo and calm her down please" Najma was helpless because she couldn't see Zoya in tears. The girl who was always bubbly and smiling no matter what the situation. She was the girl who spread happiness wherever she went.
Asad was left alone in the living room with nothing but silence around him. He let his body drop lifelessly onto the sofa as he thought about what he had done. He covered his face with his hands "Ya Allah.. teh maine kya kiya?" A fresh trail of tears flowed from his eyes. Tears of hurt and regret. He sat on his own thinking about how to rectify his mistake but his thoughts were broken when he heard Zoya's soft sobs coming from her room.
He got up and walked towards her room, held the door handle and pushed it down.
*** FLASHBACK ENDS ***
Asad was now in her room standing by the bed. He was too embarrassed to even walk up to where she was and talk to her. "Boliye Mr Khan. I'm listening" She said coldly not bothering to show him her face. He wasn't hurt that she didn't turn to face him. What hurt him is the fact that her tone was so cold and emotionless and it was all because of him. "Zoya.. I know it's nearly impossible for you to forgive me for what I've done to you today. But I am still here asking for your forgiveness. I am extremely sorry and I know that my words were totally harsh and uncalled for. And Ammi has taught me from a young age that apologizing doesn't make you any smaller and the person who forgives has a big heart." He looked at her ashamed. "Do you forgive me Zoya?" He asked as he impatiently waited for her answer.
"Mr Khan aapko kya lagta hai? That your apology will make me forget everything?" She turned around to look at him this time tears still flowing from her eyes. "You know, emotionally hurting someone is as good and physically hurting them. Just because you don't see the scars, it doesn't mean they are not there." She said to him. Her answer had broken him down completely. Now he realized how much pain he caused her just by his cold, blistering words. "Mr Khan.. Sorry is like a band-aid. Just because you use it, it doesn't mean it's going to heal the wound." She continued.
Before Zoya could say anything else Asad took control over the situation as he didn't have the courage in him anymore to hear her words. They reminded him of his own dad and he didn't want to be reminded of the hurt he caused to the one he loves. "Zoya I'll wait for you at the Diamond Jubilee Hotel by the sea at 8 pm tonight. If you come I'll assume that you have forgiven me. The decision is yours." With that said, he left and headed back to his room.
