SS Forgotten Love Part 3:
The nurses rushed Zoya into a room and the doctors immediately began conducting her operation.
***About 1 hour later***
Asad waited and waited, his swollen eyes fixed on the door of the room Zoya was in.
One of the doctors came out with a poker face.
"Doctor! Doctor, kya hua operation ka? Was it successful? Tell me! Please!" He begged.
After trying to calm Asad down, the doctor finally spoke.
"Mr. Khan, we tried our best. I'm sorry to inform but because of the severe head injuries, Miss. Farooqui is now in coma."
Those words were enough to kill him right then and there. Once again those never ending tears found their way out of his eyes and down his face.
Khudh koh roko Asad. In aasu ko bahane say roko. Jab Zoya uthe gi tho yeh aasu lekhe jao gay kya? Upne aap koh sambalo. You can do it, just be strong, for her. He managed to control himself and decided to inform everyone of Zoya's condition.
Asad looked around and saw that Zeenat and Najma were also there. They, along with Dilshaad, had been crying uncontrollably while he was telling what had happened to Zoya.
The silence was finally broken by Zeenat.
"TUM! Yeh sab tumare galati hai! Ugar tum bas meri Zoya ki ek bath sunle the, yeh sab nahi hota! Tumare waja say iski yeh halath hai!" she screamed at Asad.
While Dilshaad and Najma tried to calm her down, Asad couldn't help but think that she was right. The guilt kept killing him inside. If Zoya just woke up, he would always listen to her and never fight with her. He'd always keep her safe and make up for all this.
Bas ek baar upne aanke koldo Zoya. Please, mere liye. ***6 months later***
"Najma? Tum ready ho gaye kya?"
"Ji! Main bas Ammi aur bhaijaan ke liye khana bana rahe the. It's almost ready Zeenat Aapi! Just a few more minutes." Najma responded.
"Teek hai leken jaldi karo. Dilshaad bi aur Asad ko be toh ghar ana hai."
The doorbell rang and Zeenat went to answer the door.
"Farhan? Tum yahan…?" she gasped
With a big grin on his face, Farhan immediately dropped all his bags and hugged Zeenat.
"Hi Aapi! Aap kaise hai? Aur Zoya?" he asked eagerly as he stepped into the house. "Waise Zoya kahan hai? Usko please bulao."
Zeenat hesitated a little before revealing anything.
"Woh…kya hai nah…derasal Zoya hospital main hain." She told Farhan of how she was pushed down the stairs and has been coma for the past 6 months.
"Oh my god! Itna sab hogaya Zoya ke sath aur aap neh mujhe bathaya be nahi? Maine toh socha tha keh main Zoya koh surprise doon ga lekhin yahan toh…" said a shocked Farhan.
He didn't talk to Zoya for a couple of months due to work but he could have never guessed that she was in such a bad condition.
"Aapi khana baan gaya hai." Najma shouted from the kitchen, as she made her way to the door. "Uhh...who's this?" she asked, seeing Farhan at the door.
"Zoya's friend. Baaki ki story main baat main bathao gi. Abhi hospital jalti chalo, bahaut dher ho gaye. Chalo!" she said as she pulled the two out of the house.
Asad got up from Zoya's side and began to exit the room when a man pushed him and sat down in the place he was just in.
Zeenat saw the confused looks on everyone's faces and began to explain.
She told them that he was Farhan Qazi, Zoya's best friend from New York. They met a few years ago in college and had become good friends. Over the years that friendship turned into something more and about 2 years ago they both were about to get engaged.
Dilshaad and Najma were really interested as Zeenat told them all the details that took place during those events, but Asad couldn't hear anymore.
Was his Zoya really engaged to someone else while he fell in love with her? Did she already belong to someone else before he could even try to claim her?
"Lekin unke saagai toot gaye the. Uske baad tono bas aachay dost rahain." Zeenat went on.
"Saagai toot gaye?" Asad said a little too loud "Um mera matlab hai keh saagai qhu toot the? Aapne toh kaha tha keh dono ek dusre say mohabaat kar the they?" asked a curious Asad.
"Well they both were young and thought they were love when it was just an infatuation on both sides. Sab kuch saagai keh liye thayar tha lekin ek din saagai say pehle, Zoya neh Farhan koh bata diya ki woh usse mohabaat nahi kar the, he was just her crush. She thought that she lost her best friend but Farhan revealed that he felt the same way. Phir dono neh yeh decide karlia tha keh nikah ke baandan main toh woh baand nahi saake lekin dosti keh baandan main humasha baande rahe ge."
At this, Asad took a deep breathe and relaxed. He walked over to the doorway of Zoya's room. Farhan had left the room and took Dilshaad, Najma, and Zeenat to the nearest dargah to pray for Zoya.
"So I guess this means my Zoya could be mine after all. Huh! But does she love me too? She did smile like she was on too of the world when I confessed. Did every girl do that when being flattered in some way or was it because she shared those feelings? Woman can be really confusing sometimes. Zoya aap yahan mersi baat be nahi kar sakti lekhin phir be aap mera sir gumaa rahe hai. Jo be ho, I have loved you once and always will." It had been six months since he had last told her that he loved her. Asad smiled at her and put her numb hand in his hand.
Suddenly Asad felt a tight grip on his hand. Zoya was reacting to everything he just said and began to move around!
Zoya's eyes began to flutter, unable to decide if they should remain open or closed. Asad began to shout for the doctors.
"Zoya! Zoya upne aanke kho kholo! Come on, you can do it! Please for me! Ek baar upne aanke kholo!" he sobbed.
By then, the doctors had come to examine her and told Asad to wait outside. Farhan along with the 3 ladies had also returned and they all eagerly waited for some good news.
"I'm pleased to announce that Miss. Farooqui is now out of coma! We're not sure how but we're also not completely done examining her. Nevertheless you may go see her." said the same doctor that had once brought Asad the bad news of Zoya's coma.
"Meri Zoya!"
"Zoya!"
"Beta!"
"Zo- Miss. Farooqui!"
Everyone rushed to see her. All of them started crying tears of happiness, while Zoya had a confused look on her face.
"Khuda ka laak laak shukar hai keh aap teek hogi!" Asad exclaimed as he couldn't control his happiness.
"Mujhe maaf karna lekin maine aap koh pachana nahi. Aapi…Farhan…yeh theeno kon hai?" she asked pointing at Asad, Najma, and Dilshaad.
Asad's heart broke into a million unmendable pieces.
I know this wasn't that good but it was an important part of this story. Please do comment and tell me if I have anything I should improve on!
