Narrator's POV:
Asad saw zoya getting up and moving away from there. zoya dint know that there was a person who noticed her faint tears which was none other than asad.his heart pinched to see her tears.he suddenly had a hatred towards her tears.everyone stood up to run behind her but asad stopped them all.
As: i shall go behind her
Ay: but bhai...
Asad just raised his hand signalling him to stop and he moved forward behind her.he went in the direction she went following just behind her and was shocked to find her moving towards his room.'perfect!' he thought. she went in and shut the door at his face. he could hear the faint sobs inside the door. he himself felt his breathing fall because of the sobs she was letting out. he wanted to hold her in his arms and wanted to console her. but he couldnt being a complete stranger to her. he even knew about her fighting skills, so dint want to get himself in trouble.
He slightly knocked on the door. there was no response. he let out a frustrated sigh. he knocked a little harder and then he heard a soft voice telling
Z: go away...
His lost hope came back and he again knocked a bit harder but then again she refused which he cut off in the middle by calling out her name.
Z: Go awa--...
As: Zoya!...
Her breathing stopping hearing her name being called out in the most beautiful way.his deep, intense voice did magic to her name. for the first time in her whole life,she felt love towards her name which she had been hating from the time her life turned upside down.
As: zoya open the door!
Z: no...
As: Please...
That did for zoya, she couldnt ignore the pleading in his voice. she slowly unlocked the door and went to corner of the room and sat down. but outside, asad being in extreme worry dint hear the unlocking of the door so instead he went inside the room next to his and jumped out of the window. he reached his room's window and jumped in. he saw zoya sitting in one corner in a crouched position, he went near her and sat down beside her.
As: zoya...
He called out but only heard a sniffle in return. all his worries doubled. he caught her head in between his palms and made her to face him. all the hairs in palms were erect by now.the new sensation coursing through him was creating a havoc with his senses. her soft skin underneath him was making him go all soft.her silky hair is creating a desire in him to snake his fingers in it and memorise her tresses.she was even more beautiful now.tears did nothing bad to her beauty instead enhancing it more and more. but for now he could ignore it as all the mattered to him now was her tears. he wanted to know the reason behind her tears. there were tears still streaming from her eyes. he shook his head in a no.
As: dont cry...
He said in a soft voice. she for the first time looked at his face. eventhough her eyes were blurry due to the crying, she still could see his handsomely chiseled face. she could see worry lines in his forehead. he was frowning. she closed her once more and let the tears that were peeking out.she opened her eyes to see him with a slight smile on his lips which made her to smile involuntarily.his small touch on her skin were burning.his rough palms made her even more soft.they were creating new sensations. the touch was promising, soothing and consoling her.
this time both felt that ' they knew eachother'.
he wiped the tears with his thumbs and asked
As: why?...
then started a fresh pool of tears flowing down. she turned her face not able to look at his questioning eyes. but he again made her face him. she was weak in front of him. she has never been like that to anyone. she was always the strong one, she never let anyone see the weak side of her. but now before him, she felt right.she dint care about being weak in front of him.
As: you can share...you know...maybe it will lessen your pain.
She removed his hands and faced straight. asad at first was disappointed at her refusal but then felt glad when he heard her speak.
Z: ammi died...
He was confused at first but then kept quiet to let her finish.
Z: ...this day... after my birthday party...
He gasped at this, he felt a tears sting his eyes. even though she said only a few words, the hurt and the pain filled in her voice made him to tear up. he himself felt weak thinking about his past but for now he has to be strong for zoya. her voice was thick with pain. her face dint show any emotions, but it was hard. the tears have stopped.
She looked at him for a response for which he said
As: oh...so- so thats why you ran away from there?
She chuckled softly looking at him while he grinned at her.
Z: here iam, telling you my dark past and you are making fun of it, you are so mean, mr.khan.
As: no,n-no..zoya iam not making fun of it.
she nodded.
As: thats okay...its just your past, leave it behind.
Saying this, he cupped her face again.she again became soft from her hard face.
Z: you have an accent...a french accent
he looked ridiculed.'is she for real? just a moment before she was crying and now she is...' he thought. he smiled.
As: and you have an indian accent.
Z: you know...i have never celebrated my birthday after-af-after...
As: its okay..continue
Z: but today they just gave me a surprise...and thank you for doing all these for me and-and i dont know why i shared all my past with you, i've never done it with anyone...but i feel nice...
She let this out in one big breath.
As: okay okay mention not. see, this is what friends do right? they share their worries and sorrows with each other and they do surprise their friends on birthdays and that exactly what i did too...
Z: friends?
She asked confused.
As: ahh..no best friends...
he smiled widely taking her hand and shaking it by his own. she too smiled at his antic.
Z: by the way..whose room have i reached,iam sure someone resides here.
As: its Asad Ahmed Khan!
Z: who?
She asked as if she genuinely dint know.
As: Who?? i mean, you dont know..??
She shook her head in a no.
As: well its none other than me.!!
Z: oho!
She said thoughtful and then smiled
Z: i know.
As: then why did you ask?
She got up wiping her tears and said looking at him
Z: just like that!
Z: wait a sec...why did you jump in to the window, when i have already unlocked the door?
A:uh-uh..you did?
She nodded in a yes.
A: i--i..uh..didnt notice..maybe...
She laughed silently, shaking her head at him.
He smiled and got up and followed her as she went near the wall which had frames of portraits and photos hung in it. she looked at a pic of young asad and asked
Z: who is this?
As: me!
Z: you...
She said while a few memories of her past came in her mind. she stood rooted to her spot while she saw a young zoya playing with humeira and two figure stood watching over them and one of which she faintly figured out to be asad's. she focused totally on it and her stress levels grew up.asad was worried at her statue state. then all of a sudden she grew limp and starting falling but asad caught her and lifted her up in his arms all the while asking her if she was okay. he was glad that she dint faint as her eyes were open and constantly staring at him.he carried her to his bed and gently laid her down. 'she may be a fighter but she is feather lite' he thought and smiled at her.
As: are you okay zoya?
She nodded in response and smiled saying "asad..." and fell asleep caressing the side of his face.
Asad's heart was jumping up and down in joy to hear his name being pronounced in the most beautiful way..her voice made his name to feel enchanted.
