OS- Der ho chuki hai...Mr. Khan...
( Its too late ..Mr.Khan..)
Wasn't this supposed to be the best day of her Life...but then why did she feel that sickening emotion in her stomach as if this was not going to turn out the way it was planned to be...
Didn't Mr. Khan jut say so himself tht nothing could ever coming in between them...then why the delay ...why hadn't he reached yet...
Fear clutched her slowly as various thoughts started flowing in her mind..what if something happened to Mr.Khan...nooo she shoved it away as soon as it came...
But then as those seconds of wait turned into minutes and minutes into hours...Zoya Farooqui felt as if she was feeling numb...where are you Mr.khan..Allah miyaan... Please... As that sinking feeling started to take over again...the song that te Sufi's were playing wasn't helping '.instead worry and tention was what was eating everyone inside as...they waited for the groom..
Zoya silently sent her prayers as she closed her eyes and tears were what fell through...as her aapi clutched her hand to reassure her...tht it will be ohk...but then why was her gut telling her tht it would not be...she prayed again as ...the song played in the background...
Der Na Ho Jaye Kahin Der Na Ho Jaye
Aaja Re Ke Mera Man Ghabraye
Der Na Ho Jaye Kahin Der Na Ho Jaye...
Kahan Hai Ronake Mahfil Yahi Sub Poochte Hai
Barha Tere Na Aane Sabab Puchte Hai
Der Na Ho Jaye Kahin Der Na Ho Jaye
Had Ho Chuki Hai Aaja Jaan Par Bani Hai Aaja
Mehfil Saji Hai Aaja Ke Teri Kami Hai Aaja
Der Na Ho Jaye Kahin Der Na Ho Jaye
Aaja Ve Mahi Tera Rasta Ho Dekhdiya
Dar Se Hatti Nahin Nazar Aaja
Aaja Dil Ki Pukar Par Aaja
Der Karna Teri Aadat Thi Sahi
Der Se Hi Sahi Magar Aaja
Aaja Ve Mahi Tera Rasta Ho Dekhdiyan...
...
Ayaan was worried...here Zoya was waiting and he didn't know...infact no one knew where bhaijaan was...it was right then he got a text message and he opened it...it was from an unknown number...he didn't know who sent it...but he he didn't know he felt fear or releif as he read it...and went and told everyone..that some stranger had just messaged him about Asad's whereabouts.
...
Dilshaad, Najma, Ayaan,Rashid along with Zeenat and Zoya set off immediately for the place...each praying silently..wishing that the man who was always there to save them...was safe...
...
As soon as the car halted, Zoya got off immediately and ran into the building as fast as her bridal dress allowed her too..only if she wasn't so emotionally distraught she would have noticed the familiarity of the building...
She looked around shouting Mr. Khan ...her heart sinking more and more with every second of silence she got in her answer...until she saw a door open..and she ran towards it...only to feel what it felt like to feel dead and numb, while u were still breathing...as she registered the sight in front of her...tanveer lying over her groom...who shud have been there at the Nikaah ...but was here instead..bare chested...lying in the arms of another woman.
Tears on its own accord'as she could feel right there in that moment feel her heart break into a million pieces'as she saw Tanveer give her that evil smirk'and the man to whom she was ready to submit her everything too'finally wake up dazedly and look at her.
Asad woke up dazedly, and his head ached and so he sat up on what was the bed'but how did he get on a bed he wondered'as he saw'Zoya'dressed his bride'crying and the look on her face clearly reflected so much pain as if a dagger had been stabbed right into her heart'he was just about to get up'when he looked beside him to see Tanveer lying next to him'and it dawned on him'why Zoya was crying'what was this? What had he done? What did this mean..he looked at Tannu as if to ask..as he could not remember'but as he saw Zoya fall to he knees right there and howl with the pain of seeing him in bed with another'he felt his heart break into a million pieces'.
'''''.
Everyone was looking around for them until Dilshaad heard that loud cry'which she instantly recognized as Zoya's and she ran in the direction ..with everyone else behind her, and only to see'her to be daughter in law, down on the floor on her knees'shivering with pain as tears flew constantly from her eyes'and her son'her son..Asad in bed with Tanveer'on the day of his own Nikaah.
''.
He saw everybody look at him with so much shock and as he saw almost a look of clear hatred in the eys of his ammi 'he got out of the shock he was in'and walked up and kneeled besides Zoya'
Asad whispered brokenly- Zoya..please listen to me'this isn't'I don't know how...what..please..don't .., but he cudnt complete his sentence 'as he felt his ammi pull him up and..,' ammi meri baat toh suniye'' and before he could say anything...his ammi did something she had never done in her life- Slapped him.
Dilshaad said furiously, pointing at Zoya - is ladki ke aasun dekh rhe ho? aise hi aasun tumhari ammi ko mile the 17 saal pahle ...chahe kitni bhi achchi parwarish de do khoon ka rang nhi bdlta ...Bewafai tumhe virasat pe mili hai..
Asad cudnt stop his tears, as he heard his ammi allegating him with something so sinful, as he explained hurriedly- ammi..please listen to me'.this is not'I don't remember'how I got here'I was in the car..coming to the Nikaan with tannu when all of a sudden some kidnappers'tannu, ' he looked back at her,' pls tum kuch bolo na'
Shock reeled through him as he heard her say, looking all embarrassed- hum kya kahein , jammy'
Zoya heard him struggle to explain'and it registerd somewhere in her mind that this was all tanveer's trap'and for a second her heart thought , although as broken as it was'that she should listen to what Mr.Khan had to say, but then'a thought struck her'and right there along with it..she felt her tears drying up, as she got up and stood in front of him'feeling nothing but Numb.
Asad thought he felt his heart die in that very moment'as he saw that blank, and cold look in the eyes of his bride as she said to him- Mr.Khan'she whispered brokenly'I don't know'ki kya hua..kaise hua'I don't know ki jo hume dikh raha hai..woh sach hai ki nahi'.but one thing is true'this is what you thought was more important than me waiting as your bride at the altar'to come after tanveer'.is that how much this Nikaah meant to you'I should have thought..it was a lie for you all along wasn't it'and no wonder'just everything else was more important to you than our Nikaah, then why did you say so'Mr .Khan'im tired Mr.Khan..yes..im hurt by what I saw..I feel betrayed'but what also...broke me today is not that Mr.Khan'it's the choice you made'to go after her..and not come to me at the altar'do u know how long I waited? Kitni der'..Mr.Khan?and do u know how it felt to be dressed as your bride, with all those dreams you showed me..feeling each one break with every minute of the wait'
Asad desparetly wating her to listen- Zoya..meri baat suno'ill explain'abhi der'.
Zoya looked at him coldly, because honestly that was what she felt, as the numbness finally took over not only her heart but also her mind ' Der ho chuki hai Mr.Khan..its too late'because I don't feel anything anymore'Im tired ..im drained'I don't have the strength to do this anymore'to watch you keep me at last always..just as an option that I will understand'when I have given u nothing but utmost priority in my life. I cant do this, and she slowly turned around and walked towards her appi who was standing amidst everyone else in shock , and said, with the harshness of the reality she felt clear in her voice- lets go aapi'this is over.The Nikaah is, and so is everything else.
'''''''..
Note- I have written this OS, as i just had to pen down my thoughts regarding the pain what she felt.And also, its not only the betrayal she felt but also the thought that she held no importance in his life for he failed to recognise the importance of their Nikaah ,which has broken her.
