Asad was in his garage, working to earn his earning. He was tensed, something was troubling him. Zoya gave him a call, he picked it up. "Asad, I have decided what to do. Please Can I meet you.?" Before Asad could speak, Zoya had cut off the phone. Asad went the garage owner, and asked for half day holiday. He was happy, and he trusted Zoya. They were going to meet at the same place where they always meet, the lake side. Zoya was worried, she had fear in her eyes. She was waiting for Asad to arrive, but she was not sure how can she tell him her decision which will change their life forever. And there was Asad , he came running to Zoya with a big smile on his face. He hugged her, " I know, you will not leave me. Zoya, I trust you , I trust my love." Zoya's eyes were filled with tears, she made Asad moved away. "No Asad! I have betrayed you. I am not a true lover, I couldnt stand by my love and fight against the whole world. I lose to my family." Asad's smile vanished within seconds. He was staring at Zoya, she couldnt look at him back. She was guilty, she couldnt keep her promise. Asad was in anger now, she held Zoya by her arms tightly. "Look into my eyes Zoya, and speak. You cannot agree for the marriage. You love me na? Zoya please." Zoya pushed Asad back, " Asad, all I know right now is I love my family. They have done so much for me and they always cared about my happiness. The whole night I sat and kept thinking over it. How can I betray my family who love me so much." Zoya turned away, she couldnt stop her tears. Asad, was scared now "What about me? You dont love me. Zoya I will do everything and be successful in life. I will provide you everything. Please Zoya." Zoya knew she had hurt Asad, and hurting him was no less than hurting herself. "I love you and will always love but I cant betray my family. I cant, I am sorry." And Zoya ran away saying this. Asad was left shattered, he have lost his love, his life.
Zoya's father was waiting for his daughter. Zoya entered, she tried to smile. Zoya's father " I am proud of you and Thank you. Your husband will love you more than Asad I promise." Zoya moved to her room without giving a smile. She had lost it all, her love was no more her's now. She closed the door and cried.
