Hi guys! Thanks for your wonderful likes and comments! That really means a lot to me!
Chapter Two
Asad sank down on his knees sobbing loudly cursing the few painful moments of his life that changed his life forever...cursing himself for bringing loneliness upon his life!
But Asad was unaware that he wasn't the only one out there in that cold dark night of loneliness...he wasn't alone! Although alone, he still had company! There was another lonely soul in the same beach, sitting on the cold sand, leaning against a support, staring into nothingness with a blank expression on the face!
But that concentration was wavered when she heard those loud sobs coming her way from a little distance apart. She looked that way for some time, curious. But then she shrugged off!
Why does it matter to her? Her life is already ruined!!!
She got lost in her thoughts...asking herself the same questions that she had been asking herself for one year!
Was she right in what she did? Had she been wrong afterall?
Was he right misunderstanding her? Of course not! But then he was like that!
Was she right shouting back at him like that? May be...but may be she was too rude!
Was it right for him to question her love for him like that? No way! It wasn't right at all...But he loved her, and he knew that she loved him! He was just jealous...Had she been in his position, she would have done the same thing also perhaps!
NOOO!!!!!!!!! She won't have questioned his character ever!
Really? Didn't she question his character after she found him sleeping with his best friend?
But that was a different case!
Why different??? What difference??? Except the fact that their positions had got exchanged!
It was different! Now their relationship had reached a far greater level...
So what...no matter how strong your love is, you can't give away the feeling of jealousy and insecurity ever...especially when you have almost lost your love many times!
But that doesn't mean you will just jump to conclusions and bash your love lady!
Yes you can...given what type of Akdu, Khadoos, judgemental and extremely protective plus possessive person you are! Given the fact that you can't breathe without your other half!
Yes he was wrong, but shouldn't she have given him one more chance, one last chance...Was it right to leave him like that knowing very well about how much he loved her??
JUST STOPP ITTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shouted a frustrated Zoya annoyed with the constant struggle going on in her head. It was as if there were two Zoyas inside her.
The Zoya to whom nothing except her MrKhan mattered! The Zoya who could do anything, endure any pain for...and by her MrKhan!
The other one was the Zoya who was awoman with self-respect. The Zoya who always worked for equal status between boys and girls. The Zoya who would never take shit from anyone, not even from the ones she loved the most!
Zoya clutched her head in her hands and whispered...
Yes I was right in leaving him!
Just because you love a person doesn't mean that you accept and justify all his deeds...You can't let him make you lose your self-respect for the sake of love...
...because use pyaar nahin, sauda kahte hain!
And pyaar mein kabhi sauda nahin hota!
Just like every time, the internal battle ended with this note and she got up with a heavy sigh and decided to head back to hotel!After all she had an important deal to get signed the next day.
As Zoya stated walking, she went back in time getting flashbacks of the young bubbly, funky and messy Zoya she was...and the strict yet handsome and innocent Jahanpana OCD Six Packs he was! For the first time in the day, tears rolled down her eyes. The tears she had controlled so hard from falling down, flew down her cheeks uncontrolled! This was the life she had been leading for exactly one year...Two years back, on the same day, she had met her MrKhan...and one year back, she was so happy that she was going back to her MrKhan after being freed from a nikah with his younger brother, a nikah that was a huge mistake, a nikah that was never valid!...And she knew she was equally responsible for her plight! She shouldn't have been so careless...she shouldn't have left house on her nikah day without informing MrKhan! This one year had opened her eyes...she had come to realise about how careless and silly she was, always landing herself and others in trouble!
How could she have been so nave?
May be this was Allah's way of making her realise her faults!
But this way? Making her lose her love?
But then, this wasn't anything new. Allah had always taken away the people she loved...Allah had never let her stay with people she wanted to be with!
Again, she heard a sob coming just beside her...and she turned her head to her right to see a man in white kurta, sitting on the sand, head buried in between his knees, and his fists clutching handful of sand! Zoya felt being stabbed in her heart. She knew when a person felt like that...and how it felt! She felt an unknown pull towards the man...because she had been through that condition! [Well, that's what she felt]
Allah miyaan, aapko kya milta hai aapne logon ko aisa dard dekr? Kyun app itne emotionless hain? Aapke dil mein seena nai, pathar hai...
Suddenly she got flashbacks of the endless times MrKhan had cleared her confusion and corrected her mistake regarding dil and seena!
After a long pause, she wiped a lone tear that slipped down her eye...and muttered
Whatever!
She bent down to place a reassuring hand upon that broken man, but her hand froze mid-way as she heard the words coming out of that man's mouth in no more than a hoarse whisper! Hadn't she been that close to him, she couldn't have caught the words!
I am sorry Zoya...Zoya...Zoya please wapaas aa jao Zoya...please mujhe maaf kar do...main jaanta hoon mujhse bahut bada gunah hua hai...tum jo saaja dogi mujhe qubool hoga Zoya...but please Zoya mere paas...aapne MrKhan ke paas wapaas aa jao! Tumhara MrKhan tumhare wager jee nai sakta Zoya!
Ya Allah, please mujhe meri Zoya wapaas karr de...please!!!
Zoya's extended fingers trembled and her body strarted jerking hard. She pressed her lips together from sobbing out loudly! Tears rolled down her eyes as one part of her wanted to touch him, to hug him, to assure him that he was there for her...always! But another part of her stopped her from reaching out to him.
*flashback starts*
Lagta hai woh dua qubool ho gayi!
Aab humare beech koi nahinaa sakta...kismat bi nahin!
MsFarooqui aap ise wapaas lekar mujhe aapni bikhri hui zindagi wapaas kar dijiye!
I miss you Zoya...aab main ek pal bi tumhare bager nahin raha sakta!
Aapko humari muhabatt pe bharosa hai na MsFarooqui?
*flashback ends*
Zoya's hand reached out to touch him, but before she could touch him, another surge of memories came rushing back!
*flashback starts*
Aap ek bahut hi selfish ladki hain MsFarooqui! Shayad isliye khuda ne aapko aaapki Ammi nahin di!
Zoya, mujhe humesha humare pyaar be bharosa tha...but tumhe kabhi nahin! Aaj samjh mein aaya kyun! I hate you Zoya...And I was always right about you! Aap humesha se hi selfish thin!
Mrs Ayan Ahmed Khan!!!!
*flashback ends*
Zoya withdrew her fingers and turned away abruptly to leave, forcing her eyes shut to let a fresh pool of tears flow down her cheeks. But as she took a step away from him, she felt a tug at the end of her sari's pallu. She closed her eyes and looked back slowly with hitched breath. There was the pallu of her white saari held tightly in the fistful of sand he was holding
Why did this always have to happen? Why did they get linked together against their will in the most awkward situations possible?
Zoya took a deep breathe and took a careful step forward to untangle her pallu from his grab. As she tried to take her pallu out of his grab as stealthily as possible, she suppressed the utter desire she felt to interwine her fingers with his...and ease the tension in his fingers[...and heal the wounds in his heart]
To her benefit, Asad loosened his grip on the sand and she managed to take her pallu out without any effort. After getting her pallu back, she looked up to give him a last look before leaving. But see the play of destiny! At exactly the same moment, a strong wind came and her pallu caressed his head buried between his knees. Bafore she could do anything, he looked up. Their red teary eyes met and froze as they kept staring at each other, faces barely inches away from each other...
Asad managed to whisper in his low husky voice
Zoyyaaa...
With disbelief and uncertainty written all over his face. His face slowly started breaking into a grin, as more tears rolled down his eyes!
There was HIS MsFarooqui, dressed in a fully white saree looking as ethereal as an angel in the moonlight that fell directly on her face now!
*flashback starts*
I love you Zoya...main tumse muhabatt karta hoon Zoya! Aur humesha karta rahoonga...yeh sach kabhi nahin badlega!
*flashback ends*
It took less than a blink of eyes for Zoya to throw her arms around him and collapse in his arms. Asad hugged her tighter and buried his face in her open hair that blew with the wind that kept getting stronger. She started sobbing hard...Asad pleaded with her...
Please Zoya...I am sorry! Mujhe pata hai mujhse bahut badi galti hui hai...please Zoya mujhe maaf kr do! Main nahin jee sakta tumhare bina! I love you Zoya! Please mujhe chhodkr mat jao!
*flashback starts*
Aapko pata hai main kitna darr gaya tha?
Aaj ke baad aap mujhe bina bataye kahin jaengi toh main...main appse kabhi baat nahin karoonga!
*flashback ends*
Zoya talked fast:
I love you too MrKhan! Main aapko chhodkr kabhi nahin jaungi, kahin nahin jaungi! I will never leave you MrKhan!
Asad: Promise?
Zoya: Promise!
Just then, there was a huge thunder and it started raining heavily. Both were totally soaked in rain, but none of them actually cared. They were with each other, in each other's arms...and that was their home!
Asad and Zoya looked at each other through the rain and Asad slowly cupped her face in his hands...
okay, there is one more chapter left!
Hope you all liked it!
Enjoy!
Lots of love
