Bring me back to life

Part 8:

I paced around for moment thinking about the whole day and then take the weight off my feet sitting on the bench. I perceive sound of footsteps pacing nearer, and I glimpsed a guy standing beside the bench. He was wearing a yellow shirt tucked in his pants which was somewhat baggy. He had "Pizza Hut" written on his shirt and he placed the pizza box on the edge of the bench walking away. Did he bring pizza for me? A stranger brought pizza for me? Am I alive? No way, he must have mixed poison in it or maybe cockroaches or either it's a prank. He retrieves back holding a pan writing something on the memo. I got up from the bench moving back so there is some space between us. He sticks the memo on top of the pizza box and left without trace. Was he dumb, he can't speak? I sat beside the pizza box trying to read what he had written.

"To Zoya from her Asad" what? Her Asad? I'm not even his friend and definitely not his! What is wrong with this guy, why doesn't he understand that I want him to stay away from me?

~~~~~~~~

"Hello sir, I have delivered the pizza to the girl on the bench and don't be concerned, I did as you've told. I did not communicate with her and attached the memo on the pizza box." The guy on the other side spoke proudly; perhaps he wanted to get a compliment from the great Asad Ahmad Khan. I'm just so full of myself which is actually not a bad thing; at least I'm selfhood unlike others.

"Good, what did you wrote on the memo?" I asked hoping he didn't write down anything additional. I recall when I sent a delivery to my friend and they wrote "We will always remain friends" and right after few days, I had a fiery quarrel with that particular friend.

"I wrote 'To Zoya from her Asad' Sir your girlfriend is really stunning. You are very blessed to have her." Shit is wrong with them! What will she think about me when she read the memo?

"Can you people at least for once do something right? She is not my girlfriend! I told you to write to Zoya from Asad not her Asad!" I shout at him which I guess made him nervous because his voice started cracking.

"I'm sor…ry sir. I'm really sorry. I will go and change right away!" he cut the phone before I could prevent him. I wanted to tell him that it's all right now, she had seen it anyways.

~~~~~~~~

I stare at the pizza box for a time when the pizza guy arrived again. I stood up moving back as he was pacing towards the bench. Right! Now get it back, it must be a mistaken delivery. He took the memo book out and begun writing something on it all over again. He removed the old memo and attached a new one on the pizza box.

"Sorry madam." He gave an uneasy smile and apologized; to be frank I didn't even distinguish why.

He left once again and I make a note of the adjustment made on the new memo, "her" was eliminated now. I guess it was an error. Obviously, why would Asad want me to be his? I'm not that precious to be with someone so wealthy. Why am I thinking about such nonsense?

~~~~~~~~

"Sir I already changed the memo, you don't worry sir."

"Thank you very much." I cut the phone and spot my sister standing at the door.

"I want to eat pizza." She request while pouting.

"Call for delivery then, why are you telling me?" I replied sarcastically.

"You are so mean bhaijaan. You ordered a delivery for that girl but you can't do it for me?"

"Tamatar, it's not that girl. She has a name!" I was literally going to burst at her but then it's not her fault. I was just stressed about how to get Zoya back home.

"I don't like her!" she said as she folded her arms.

"Come sit." I pat on my bed motioning her to sit down. "Tell me why you don't like her."

"There are two reasons. First, you constantly yell at me for her. Second, she wore my clothes and ran away." I laughed at my adorable sister's stupidity.

"Tamatar you should learn to share." I held her hands in mine and make an effort to give explanation to her so that she won't dislike Zoya anymore. "I promise I won't yell at you again. As for your clothes, she will return once she comes back."

"Really?" she opened her eyes wide in excitement.

"Yes." I nodded. "Now will you like her?" I inquire wishing for a yes from her side too. I don't know why but I want every member of my family to shower her with love and kindness.

"Only if she becomes my friend" she said demandingly.

"How I wish tamatar." I sighed. "I wish she would become our friend one day."

"Isn't she already your friend bhaijaan?" she raised her right eyebrow.

"You won't get it tamatar; you are too young to understand such things. Never mind lets order pizza." I took my phone and ordered for another delivery.

~~~~~~~~

I had no idea if I supposed to eat the pizza but I was hungry. Besides that, Asad won't mix anything in it but what if he did? Then I would die, isn't that what I sought after all the time? I ate the pizza which was already divided into the slices. It was delicious, the last time I ate pizza was like 6 years ago. My best friend treated me- the best friend who betrayed me in the end. I had a crush on him because I thought he was the nicest person I've ever met but he betrayed me. Nothing hurts more than being deceived by the person who you thought would never hurt you. William Shakespeare was right, Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

~~~~~~~~

We were eating pizza when I perceive the sound of rain. I glance outside the window and it was raining heavily. I felt a pat on my shoulder and I turned back seeing my mother seizing the umbrella. She smile and gave the umbrella in my hands.

"What?" I asked wondering why she offered me the umbrella.

"Zoya" My mother wants me to shield her but Zoya requests me to stay away from her. I don't know what to do.

"She told me to stay away, ammi." I tried to put in plain words but then I really wanted to help. I took the umbrella from her hand and left. I spot her sitting on the bench with the pizza box beside her; the raindrops dewdrop on her. Her hazel eyes gaze at the droplets, at the same time her hand reached out to seize them. Her outfits glued to her were all soaked showing her curvaceous figure. I sat adjacent to her sheltering her with my umbrella.

~~~~~~~~

Without prior notice, rain fizzle out but as far as one can tell, the raindrops were still here. As soon as I turned, my eyes set sights on him sitting next to me, when did he came? He appeared from nowhere in the twinkling of an eye or was it me who illustrate the image in my mind? He sheltered me with this reddish umbrella. No wonder, I felt as if the rain diminish and there was his smile, the smile which trigger his dimples to show up. This guy will drive me up the wall, now I am even envisioning him. He caresses my cheek or was he getting rid of the raindrops? He is really here, I'm not imagining? Instantly, I created the gap between us.

~~~~~~~~

She budged backwards at the instant minute when I stroke her cheek. "Zoya" her name utter from my lips and I forward my hand when she moved further backside.

"I don't get it! You are rich, you have everything you need then what do you want from me?" she snapped at me with her ferocious hazel eyes.
