Part 48
Private ward
Asad opened his eyes slowly adjusting to light . He felt sharp pain in his head and he whimpered alerting a sleeping Zoya.
Zoya panicked: asad aapko hosh aagaya, Allah ka lakh lakh shukr hain ki aap thik hain mai abhi Doctor ko bulake laati hoon aap araam kijiye.she said and started to move when asad held her hand surprised and shocked .
Zoya: itne salon mein aj pehli baar aapne Mujhe mere naam we bulaya Zoya. Aaj itne salon mein pehli baar aapne Mujhse Ayan ke liye Nahi mere liye baat ki Mujhe yakeen Nahi Hota Zoya . Agar ek accident aapki naraazgi mitane wala tha toh mai araamse apne aapko har roz chot pahuncha tha woh Bhi Khushi khushi.
Zoya with tears hugged asad emotionally : I'm sorry asad mai much Zyada hi naraaz hogayi aapse. Aapne galti ki Magar us galti ko mana , uska prayashchit kiya Magar najane kya hogaya tha Mujhe jo aapko maaf Karne ke liye mai apne aapko mana hi Nahi saki. Mai kya Karti saari dard aur takleef me mere dil aur dimaag dono ko bandh kardiya tha. Mai apne aapko har takleef we bachana chahti thi isiliye I shut myself completely asad .magar aaj aapko Khone ke Ehsaas be Mujhe ek baat samjha Di ki mai aapke Bina Nahi ji sakti.
Asad: shhh.. Bas ab rone ke din beet Gaye Zoya. Ab sirf Khushi ke lamhe honge . He cupped Zoya's face lovingly and promised, mai apne bas mein Jitni koshish hain Sab karunga tumhe hamesha Khush Rakhne ki I promise.
Their eye lock broke due to doctors entry . They grew apart and asad cursed doctor for his interference and Zoya understanding his predaciment laughed silently .
Doctor checked asad and prescribed two days bed rest but an adamant asad made doctor discharge him tomorrow morning .zoya showed displeasure due to asad neglecting his health but he convinced Zoya that he would recover better at home in presence of his family and Zoya gave in due his puppy face.
They entered home and all greated him joyfully . Dilshad was genuinely happy seeing her favriote children after facing so many hurdles and prayed to Allah to keep them always happy. Najma excitedly told asad about anniversary preparations and asad felt sad that he couldn't make it to anniversary but Zoya assured everyone that once asad was fit and fine they will celebrate their anniversary. After all there is no specific day to celebrate togetherness.
Asya's room:
Asad rested his head on bed rest . He felt tired due to long chatting sessions outside . He felt similar smell after long , the smell of his famous coffee . He opened his eyes to see Zoya holding his coffee mug he took coffee mug kept it on the side table and made Zoya sit near him. He wanted to see Zoya all day long and quench his thirst of all the missed years .
Zoya asked : kya dekh rahe hain aap asad.
Asad: bas apne aapko Tasalli de raha hoon Zoya ki yeh Sab sch hain Sapna Nahi.
Zoya: yeh Sab sach hain aur inshAllah aage aanewali hamari khoobsurat zindagi Bhi sach hogi asad bas inn Sab Buri yaado ko hame peeche chod aage badna hain.ek baat puchun??
Asad: haan pucho Zoya.
Zoya: aapko Sab sacchai kaise pata chali ki mai ayaan ki mout ke liye zimmedaar Nahi thi.
Asad: mera dil janta tha Zoya aap kabhi kisi ke Saath Aisa Nahi kar sakti Magar ayaan ko Khone ke dard ne Mujhe Andha kardiya aur main apna Gussa Sab tumpar utaarne laga. Magar ek din humeira office aayi aur usne Mujhe saari sacchai Bata Di. Mujhe uss par Bahut Gussa aaya Magar uske Ankon ke dard be Mujhe rok liya. Woh poori Tara tooth Gayi thi ayaan ki mout Se. Saccha pyaar Karti thi woh ayaan se aur use Khone ke dard se Badu saza aur kuch Nahi hosakti isiliye mai use kuch Nahi keh paaya Magar apne aapko maaf Bhi Nahi kar paya .lekin Aaj lagta hain jaise
Mere dilse Bahut bada bhoj nikal Gaya Ho .aaj itne salon baad mein chain ki neend Sounga Zoya.
Zoya smiled at him affectionately .she punished him very harshly all these years .
Zoya: maafi ek baat ke liye mai Bhi mangna chahti hoon asad uss ilzaam ke liye jo Maine aap par Lagaya tha aapko aapke Abbu se compare kiya yeh jante huwe ki aapko sabse Zyada Nafrat Isi baat Se hain.
Asad became upset remembering that night . He and his business partner Sania were working on the project till late night even Prasad had accompanied them. They had to remake a blueprint with certain changed according to clients request . But Sania had very cunningly planted seed of doubt in Zoya's head that they were alone and doing something inappropriate .and Zoya due to all the misunderstanding going between them started doubting asad that he was with other women to satisfy his lust. And she got very angry . When asad returned that night Zoya questioned him directly about Sania . And why she picked up his cell so late at night . She was burning in jealousy and the argument heated soo much that she labelled asad as his father a two timing man and this hurt asad immensely. And Zoya too realised her blunder but it was too late. She tried saying sorry the next morning but asad had already left for office . She went with his lunch to office but he had locked his cabin and strict warned that no one should enter it .while returning back she came to know from prasad that Asad had broken their contract with Baig industries and Khan construction was facing problems due to it and was in financial loss as well as legal issues and Zoya felt bad that due to her asad was in this conditions .
After this fiasco their relation deterioted some more until asad came to know the truth.
Asad: it's k Zoya mai woh baat kabka bhool chuka hoon. Aur abhi apne kaha na ki hame Sab bhool kar aage Badna hain toh bas bhool jayiye Sab aur mere paas aayiye aaj Mujhe aapke bahon mein Sona hain pehle Tarah.
Finally after long time two lovers slept peacefully in each other's arms finding their eternal solace...
