Zoya looked at the watch. 3:27 AM. To hell with the time! She thought as she made her way toward his room.
Silently closing the door behind her, she turned toward him. There he was, sleeping peacefully on his bed with his hands joined under his head like a little kid. His face glowed beautifully in the moonlight. She knelt near his waist and looked at him. Giving in to her heart's urges, she softly ran her hand through his hair, letting them linger on his cheeks a while longer than needed on their way back.
"Why don't you ever understand me Asad?" she whispered almost inaudibly. "Why? Do you hate me so much that you just need to blame and insult me every time something goes wrong?"
She blinked a few times to get rid of the brimming tears and swallowed the lump in her throat. "All this I'm doing- rather, every thing I've done till now, it was always for you! Don't you get it? Why do you think I went to your brother's engagement? To poison his fiance? For God's sakes, I saw you hurt when you couldn't go! I saw you burn when you refused him on the phone the other day!
"She is playing with your emotions. She is using you for her selfish reasons. She is NOT who you think she is Asad! The later it gets, the more you'll be hurt. That is the only reason I'm going after Tanveer! For YOU!"
She tilted her head to get a better view of his face. "Remember you once said "Aapke in dimples se dilwalon ka katl hota hai. Mere seene mein dil nahi patthar hai. To inn dimples ko kisi dilwale ke liye bachake rakhiye!"? You forgot that you too have dimples...and unfortunately, I have a heart."
A lone tear escaped her eyes. "Loving you is difficult Asad. It hurts a hell lot. But not loving you is impossible. What am I to do?"
Wiping the tear from her cheek, Zoya got up and turned to leave. Because she had her back to him, she did not see the tear that escaped his eyes. Nor did she see the determination. His determination to set things right and be by her. Forever.
